Wow, awesome burgers and seasoned fries. Quick service, big clean inside to sit. They have beer and margaritas if you're so inclined. Reasonably priced.
We ordered the Double Spicy Burger with fries, and it was absolutely delicious! The burger was very flavorful and honestly one of the highlights of our visit. What made the experience even better was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. We especially enjoyed our interactions with the staff, which made the whole experience even more pleasant. Great food, excellent customer service, and an overall wonderful experience. We'll definitely be coming back!
Delicious food and friendly service. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and seasoned fries. The fries had a little too much seasoning for me but overall it was great
The RR Donut burger was def worth the hype and the wait. The service was great even though they were visibly swamped and overwhelmed. The manager had to come out to direct traffic because the line was wrapped around the building. Hopefully management sees this and makes it a regular menu item, I literally went 3x the week of the special.
Ambiance: The service is incredible! You feel welcomed as soon as you walk through the door. I also like that you can see them preparing the ground beef, which makes everything feel fresh and transparent. The food comes out pretty quickly, and the prices are standard. Mango Lemonade: This drink is really great. The mango flavor is light and not overpowering. It's so refreshing and not too sour or too sweet, it honestly has the perfect balance. Classic with Cheese: I loved the sauce inside the burger. The patties are pretty thin, so it might not be filling for some people. However, the burger tastes super fresh and high quality. Regular Fries: The fries were great! They had the perfect crisp and were nice and fresh.
Very good burger. The double classic was cooked to perfection. Nice juicy patties, soft bun, fresh veggies, plenty of gooey cheese. The seasoned fries were excellent. Service was ok.
I was passing by this area after picking Thing Two up from ACC. I had no idea there was a Buddy's location this close to me. Therefore, this meant I had to stop immediately and get a burger. For those who aren't aware, this is Buddy's third location. The original location is in Austin, the second in San Marcos and the latest location is now in Round Rock. This is a locally owned burger shop that specializes in made to order Angus hamburgers. For this visit, I went through the drive-through as opposed to going inside. It should be noted that those who desire libations as opposed to lemonade and soda, dining in may be the best option as beers on tap may be purchased inside. Spicy with cheese & fries This is my go-to burger when coming to Buddy's. Aside from the burger being fresh, the added jalapeños, "spicy smack sauce" and pepper jack cheese really gives this burger an edge over the stereotypical burger place. This burger is savory, slightly spicy and lean. I added bacon to this burger for an additional $1. As these burgers are made to order, items such as grilled onions, grilled jalapeños and bacon can be added for an additional price. If purchasing a meal, fries come with the meal but it is possible to go with the seasoned fries, which is what I did. The seasoned fries are slightly salty, crispy and have a slight crunch. If you are feeling really froggy, you'll put your fries in-between your burger and enjoy the burger and fries simultaneously! Drive-through experience I developed a rapport with Isaac who took my order in the drive-through. He was pleasant, funny and upbeat. When in the drive-through I advised Isaac I had my kids in the car and wasn't trying to "order the whole menu". With my meal, I ordered one chocolate shake but to my surprise, when I pulled up to the window to pay, Isaac gave me two shakes as opposed to one for The Things to enjoy. Needless to say, the extra shake went over well with all of us. The burger, fries, sweet chocolate shake and positive vibes coming from Isaac made this expirence 5 star!
This place is amazing and one of the best things that make this place is mr.John michael, the manager that they have on site here. At the end of the day, it's the best burger's fries in shakes, just like he says, he just had such a presence about him and made everything taste so much better here. Very casual ambiance, kind of like your hometown burger joint, I would highly recommend anybody to go to this location in specific things. Just so you can see the aura that john michael has inside of this restaurant.
I finally stopped in to try a burger. I read all the reviews on how they had a great burger. I was a doubter but no more. The double spicy is excellent. The sauce makes it a bit messy but dang it is good. I'll ask for extra jalapeños next time. The seasoned fries are good. Nothing spectacular but still good. I can't decide if it's better than Whataburger. I still rate Top Notch's Longhorn Burger as best in town. The price is reasonable and it definitely is a very good burger. I am a believer and will be back. Fast service at counter and not a long wait after ordering. Definitely a great experience!
You cannot go wrong with Buddy's!! The service is outstanding, and the menu isn't huge, but when you have the perfect burger, it doesn't need to be! This new location is perfect for grabbing lunch or dinner on your way home or heading to practice!
I'm not really a burger person unless I cook them at home from scratch but Buddy's is definitely a great option when you're drained and don't feel like making them. I absolutely loved my burger and fries. These burgers remind me of a hole in the wall back home in Missouri. The burger was sooo good and it didn't take long for us to get our order. I didn't try a milkshake but my daughters did and love them. This place is clean and customer service is great.
Maybe the hype set my expectations higher, but i was not impressed... their sweet tea wasn't even giving me cavities... Burger was ok, but the buns look like they bought the cheapest available, fries were ok.. the veggies were fresh and crisp.. Not saying they're bad, but definitely had much better for the price The employees were very friendly and coming around asking if everything was good. I came here before thee lunch rush, so it was nice to order and get my food within a few minutes. The restaurant itself is nice, big windows to let the natural light in. I will have to try their shakes, but will not be fighting the crowd to eat here again.
11/10 service from Junior and Emily ! Emily had our order perfect! Junior came and did a table touch multiple times , he made sure our food was out quick and made sure we felt welcomed ! YALL GIVE THEM A RAISE or a gold star . I loved the burger . I had the number one with extra pickles and a land shark . I'm so happy. I'll be back again! Thanks guys !

Wow! What a find. We came around noon, and it was easy to see this place is well loved. My kids ordered doubles, and definitely had leftover food to share. I love a good smash burger, and these are seasoned well, straight forward, and very delicious. And oh the fries - fabulous! So crispy and the perfect compliment to our burgers. We got both the regular and seasoned fries and were not disappointed. My daughter declared the seasoned fries the best she's ever had. The inside of the restaurant is clean and the tables are nice and large for all the food we devoured. The tables were also very clean, and seemed like the staff was on top of keeping everything sparkling. The staff were super friendly, and I saw someone walking around the restaurant multiple times to check in with tables, and meet any unforeseen needs. One of the best decisions we made was ordering shakes. Holy moly. So thick and creamy. According to my hubby their season key lime shake was like drinking a literal key lime pie. He's not wrong. My kids ended up getting spoons to make their way closer to the bottom of the deliciousness. What a treat! We'll be back. read more

So, I finally caved and checked out Buddy Burgers, because nothing says "live a little" like chasing a burger hyped harder than a Marvel movie trailer. I went with the #2 -- the Spicy with cheese -- because I enjoy living on the edge... and apparently, suffering. Let me tell you, "spicy" wasn't just a suggestion -- it was a full-blown lifestyle. This burger came in hot, literally. It had enough grilled jalapeños to make me question every life decision that led to this point. My tongue was sweating. My ancestors were sweating. Somewhere, a fire alarm went off and I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the restaurant. Now, the seasoned fries? Let's just say the seasoning team went a little Tony Montana with the salt and spices. They were good, but I had to dig for the potato like I was on an archaeological dig. Was it the best burger I've ever had? Nah. But it was solid -- flavorful, juicy, spicy enough to be illegal in three states. I'd definitely come back once the opening-weekend madness chills out and the line isn't halfway to the moon. Final verdict: Good burger, fun experience, and I'm now on a first-name basis with the fire extinguisher in my kitchen. read more

Super disappointed in this place. The burger was messy and meh. You can see them hand forming the patties, but they had zero flavor.The fries were all clumped together and weird texture. Not one clean table in the place. Customer at the table next to me was telling he husband that the restrooms were dirty and gross. The best part was the friendly cashier- she was super nice. read more

This is the third location of a local mini-chain that's also in San Marcos and Austin and I'm enjoying the new construction that's a cross between P. Terry's and Shake Shack with eye-catching architecture outside and natural wood inside. There's a drive-through outside for convenience but the interior is surprisingly roomy with 15 tables in the dining room (including some that seat 6) and more seating around the outside edge. The decor is pretty spare but everything is clean and new. The menu is pretty small too but has everything you need for a good smash burger and the "Double Classic with Cheese" that I ate sure hit the spot. I'm sad they charge extra for grilled onions because many others do that for free. But the burger was still plenty thick and juicy and had some pepper that I enjoyed. And the price was fair at $7.09 which I appreciated. They also have shakes and fries that I didn't try this time but look worthwhile for next time. The employees were nice and efficient so everything went smoothly and I'll have to come back! read more

I had the spicy burger, seasoned fries, and mango lemonade. The fries were so good. They were hot and crispy, but soft on the inside. The burger was good too. The patty was seasoned and flavorful. The mango lemonade was so good. I had to stop myself from drinking it too fast. I ordered in the drive thru. The line was a little long but it didn't take too long to place my order and get my food. I'll have to run it back and try a milkshake next time. read more
Wow! Wow! Wow! Let's just say I stayed craving another burger with fries the next day. It was that delicious!!! The food was so fresh and made with love I'm assuming lol quality, freshness was on the dot. Service was fast and the workers were great. The atmosphere was also a plus, it was open and welcoming, clean, family friendly, and clean bathrooms. I truly do appreciate how clean they were for being a fast food place. Anyways. If your craving a burger, i definitely recommend here read more
Tried the classic burger here, which came with a bun, patty, tomato, lettuce, and maybe some sauce. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver. The bun was soggy (granted, I didn't eat it right away), but even setting that aside, the flavor just wasn't there. Nothing stood out, and it just wasn't a satisfying burger. I've had much better elsewhere, so I won't be returning. read more

Good Burger .. My son thinks they're a great burger, but to me it's just another burger, nothing special. Don't get me wrong, they are good burgers, beats McDonald's for sure !!! The staff is friendly and the ambience is casual. This new location has only been open a couple of months. read more

The burgers were juicy with a nice char, and smackin sauce had a nice kick to it. I would probably get extra jalapeños on the spicy burger, but thats just me. Seasoned fries were recommended by employee and it was definitely worth it. We ordered the peanut butter chocolate, oreo, and chocolate milkshakes- all a hit. Service was welcoming and kind the entire experience. We would definitely go again. read more

After months of seeing the signs that it was coming soon finally today was my chance to visit Buddy burgers. yes, they've been around Austin for a long time but kind of out of my way.. Very nice building the drive-through was about four or five cars ahead of us cones wrapped around the building to kind of signal a grand opening, but I think it was more of a soft opening not a grand yet, but it was lunchtime and it was time to try them out. I went all in and ordered the double cheese classic combo. I added pickles and onions. However I was given grilled onions instead and charge $.40 didn't ask for that, but we'll talk about that in a minute. The order taker was polite clear and recommended many things to try like the lemonade, the milkshakes, etc., I opted for the seasoned fries, which looked pretty good and a Coke, which I was corrected. They only have Pepsi, which I'm not a fan of because it always comes out terrible thru a fountain. Total price $14.91 a little pricey but that's the typical price that seems anywhere now for a combo meal specially a double cheeseburger by itself with seven dollars and some change which isn't bad for a standalone burger . Took about 13 minutes to get to the drive up window door yes there's no drive up window. It's more like a door like Chick-fil-A and they greet you by standing there and handing your food. I was hoping the time I got home. it was still hot Now for the burger review and I must say if you like P Terry's, it's kind of similar the meat is really thick grilled. You can taste the char on it, which was really good and overall the cheese was gooey and definitely add pickles, and it was still hot. I included a picture of the menu where you can add bacon jalapeños, and of course, the grilled onions which were charged to me even though I wanted the raw onions on the burger, but it's OK mistakes happen . The season fries were all that seasoned very good fresh hot and I'm only about maybe eight minutes from home so it still kept freshness and was pretty good. The Pepsi obviously lacked a little punch, but I still drank it l. Overall give this place a try. I definitely will be back. Let's see if they keep up their great service because like all new places they start off high end and they kind of fizzle off in the middle somewhere, over time so let's cheer them on and welcome to our community. read more
