been here about 5x since my last visit and it is still one of my favorite fast burger joints! glad to see it is starting to get the recognition they deserve. I came to try the limited Franklin BBQ burger in October. So glad they have extended it for the full month because I was itching to try it. It did not disappoint. The flavor was insane. The meat had a little crisp to it and the cheese was just the right amount. The mango lemonade is sweet and tart which I am not normally a fan of, but they do it right here and I get it every time. I always get their seasoned fries too. Not a big fry person, but this seasoning makes them a must. Love buddys! It's still just as good when you take it to go. Now open a location in Manor, we need a good burger joint out here, there currently isn't one. read more

Buddy's Burger - Franklin bbq burger! - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Friendliest drive through experience. They are located on a mega gas station center off Cameron road and Furgeson Ln. Ordered their cheese burger with fries and a Oreo milk shake. Their milkshake was tasty with specs of Oreos. The fries were seasoned and textured. The smash burger was tasty. Service is friendly and much appreciated. I went through the drive through and the attendant was very friendly and appreciative. I don't think I've experienced such great service through a drive thru except in a small town Dairy Queen's. They also have fine in service and it looked like the inside had a diner/50s theme. Didn't take any pictures unfortunately - next time. read more

I live so close and always pass by and hearing so many good things about it. I'm so happy I won an instagram giveaway so I finally didn't have an excuse not to go. We got there at 12:15pm on a Tuesday and the takeout line was pretty long and all the parking spots were full so we parked at the gas station (same parking lot) I was nervous about the wait time since it seemed peak hours. However, the service was friendly and prompt! Our food was out to us in 10 minutes! My burger was delicious and I ate it all. The seasoned fries were good and I can see why people like them but I think I might prefer the unseasoned. We could tell our regular lemonades were freshly squeezed due to the puckered faces we made while we sipped! Haha. I won't order again but my friend raves about the mango lemonade and the shakes. So I'll definitely be back! read more

Buddy's Burger - Classic burger - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Some friends suggested this place to us so we gave it a try. I had a double cheeseburger and regular fries and my husband had a spicy double and seasoned fries. We both enjoyed our meal. We shared the Mexican vanilla shake, and I normally don't like milk shakes but I thoroughly enjoyed the one at Buddy's Burger. The food was great, however the service we got from David P. was the best part of our experience. David checked us out at the counter and even came to our table after we got our meal to make sure everything was to our liking, he even gave us extra sauce to try. His friendly demeanor and great customer service skills are the reason we'd recommend this place to others. read more

I saw I left a review a year ago. STILL SLAPS!!! I need to try the frito burger, but I love the spicy burger! 10/10

Great spot. Always on point. Delicious stuff. Fast and friendly service from the rather large team always working.

Amazing food, one of my favorite restaurants in Austin, but it also consistently has the longest line/wait time of any drive thru I've ever been through. The line probably averages about half an hour, and it's probably takes about 5 minutes per car. read more

Buddy's Burger is one of those places that reminds you of simple, well-made burgers with just quality ingredients, great flavor. And their fries are pretty good too read more

Tried this new to me Burger joint. Good Burgers, cook to order, tastes fresh. They use a House sauce, tastes garlicky, good. Very clean facility. Service is Good. The Staff Welcomes every Guest. Simple Menu. Reminded me of Mighty Fine. But Better. Large tables, window seat tables. I'll make a return visit sometime. Recommend to others. read more

The customer service was great, as soon as you walk in someone is welcoming you. I ordered the classic burger meal. I like how the burgers aren't greasy but have their own flavor. The special sauce was a nice touch as well. I waited maybe 6-8 mins for my food to come out. If you're in Austin make sure you stop by Buddys. read more

Love this place!! Burgers are great and the fries are so good!! Get seasoned fries it's worth it.. shakes are good too

Best burger place ever,no contest!! Also fantastic fries. Highly recommend!! We have eaten burgers at every burger place in the country and Buddy's is hands down the best. Thanks Buddy's read more

Burgers taste average and are small sized. (3 stars) French Fries were good but the price was for a medium or large and the size of the portion was small (4 stars) Free refills on soft drinks. Could not drink Dr. Pepper because it was a strange color and should have been changed. There during lunch hour but the wait was short. Need to have larger portions on the burgers and fries. read more

I'm a big fan of Buddha Burger in Pflugerville. My friends have been telling me about Buddy;s Burger and we have a new one under construction here in Round Rock so the Wednesdat Lunch Bunch decided to check it out today. Its about 30 minutes from Round Rock so its quite a haul! A very open and airy burger restaurant. Nice! We arrived about 12:30 today. I orderd a classic cheeseburger and fries with a coffee milkshake. We all ordered and settled in at a large table. After maybe five minutes they called my name and I picked up my order. The fries were hot and delicious - a 10/10 as was the coffee shake! The burger was a major disappointment though. The patty was thin and totally petrified. Way over cooked. Not an ounce of juciness left! It was like eating shoe leather. I have to believe that Buddy's is better than this and I will give them a try when they open in Round Rock. read more

Big fan of Buddy's! The mango lemonade and the spicy fries are sooooo good! I prefer to just go through the drive-through (even though it has a tricky curve) although the service is a bit slower for the drive-thru. Service is definitely better if you sit-down. The burger is super solid and one of my favorites. So underrated! read more

The season fries are sooo yummy! Great cheeseburger and super delicious chocolate shake! I liked the spacious tables so we could fit all our friends and the customer service was lovely. I will definitely come back again read more

Buddy's has been on my list for a while so once I was in the mood for burgers, we decided to drop by and give it a try! This place was awesome. Clean and bright on the inside, friendly cashier service, and quick and fast but hot and fresh tasty food! You order and pay at the counter and they'll call your name when your order is ready. Seat yourself and fill your own soda fountain or tea drink, get your condiments, etc. It's a pretty straightforward restaurant. The burgers were delicious! The buns were so pillowy and soft, the cheese was gooey and delicious, and the sauce was perfect. A 5/5 burger! The fries were also good. Not the best I've ever had, but better than most places. They were super hot and fresh and delicious. Overall, it was a great visit and we will definitely be back! read more

SO glad we stopped by here when we were visiting Austin. My friends and I just finished jet skiing and going to Barton Springs. We were all so hungry and this place was just what we needed. The staff was super friendly and the interior was really clean inside. I got the #2 Spicy Burger with Regular fries and a Strawberry Lemonade. I also got to try the Mango Lemonade and very good too!! I would say it's almost like the pineapple drink from Jollibee. The lemonade was so crisp and not too sweet it went perfect with my burger. The burger was sooo flavorful and juicy and the spice level was what I needed omg the green chilies?? SO GOOD. It was the perfect size for me too, a lot of my friends got the double patty and said it was soo good. Everything was very affordable too! I can't wait to come back here when I am back in Austin and please please come to Houston!! read more

Shakes and burgers are so delicious! Don't underestimate how full you can get if you order a double burger like I did. I recommend the spicy one! Sooo good. I wasn't able to finish the fries on top of the strawberry milkshake I had. Although the cup looks small, it's a lot. Love it! read more

First time trying Buddy's after seeing it on a top Burgers of Austin list. Service was great and we didn't wait long to get our food. It is one of those places where you walk up to the counter, order, then they call you when your order is ready. Nice place to go when you have a burger craving. Simple menu but great flavor! read more

Buddy's Burger - Spicy single burger, mango lemonade, seasoned fried - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ordering was very smooth, the kind woman up front (receipt said Angela) gave us suggestions that made our lemonades taste even better. We did have a slight problem with our meal, since we ordered a plain burger and received it with all toppings. We asked for it to be remade, but it took a while and I guess there was some confusion behind the scenes. This did NOT stop everyone from fixing the problem! The burger was quickly made after the reminder (thanks to a lovely gentleman I'm assuming was part of the cooks/prep staff) and Angela made us some milkshakes as well, and guessed our preferred flavors correctly based on our few interactions, that's AMAZING customer service. Instead of just making the problem right, they made it better. Please give these wonderful employees some praise, especially Angela. I will continue to visit buddy's and recommend it to friends and family. read more

Excellent burger and fry option! I had the double cheese burger and both fry types. (seasoned & regular) All very goood! Recommend to anyone who likes this combo! read more

First review of the year goes to Buddy's Burger. I kept hearing about Buddy's and don't know how I'd gone this long without trying it. The fries were crunchy and delicious (I went with the house fries, no need to go with seasoned) and ordered the spicy with cheese. Excellent burger. I had to get an Oreo shake, of course. I will be back! read more

Nut allergy friendly. The drive-thru line was ridiculously long on a Saturday noon lunchtime. We ate inside and it was 15 minutes from entering to get food after ordering using the self-service kiosk. Strange note, if you get a drink that's not beer, you have to let them know. We ordered beer, a mango lemonade, and a fountain drink and weren't given the mango lemonade nor fountain drink. When we went back to ask, the lady at the counter said she didn't forget, but that it was up to us to let them know. Weird policy. I ordered the spicy burger with seasoned fries. After trying a friend's normal fries, I would say the seasoned fries are 100% worth the extra $0.50. They came out perfectly crispy, although the seasoning is a bit salty. The spicy burger was nice with the thinner bun and had fresh ingredients, but overall I didn't find it to be anything special. I'd put it on par with P Terry's or In-and-Out but with far better fries. I tried my friend's mango lemonade and found it much too sweet. We actually let some ice melt to dilute it a bit. I love that the self service kiosk gives you the option to upgrade meals to beer, but didn't do that myself. read more

I have been all around the world and it's never been more clear. There is NO better all-around burger joint, than this place right here! I've tasted plenty, I've had my share. Backyard grill to restaurant Forever and eternity, when the craving hits.. Buddy's is what I'll want. AND, it's so much more than just their burger, it's the combo that they make. When you order a burger, fries, and shake... finally your tastebuds will be awake! I recommend the double cheese, seasoned fries, and chocolate-oreo shake. In a world full of bad choices, this is NO mistake. read more

The burgers are amazing! I dislike thick patties and these are nice and thin. The fries are good too. While in line we were offered a sample of their seasoned fries which we ended up getting. Highly recommend. read more

I love me some Buddy's Burger! Always fresh, hot, and very tasty! The burgers aren't very big but they are the perfect size. Enough to fill you up w/out feeling ugh! I like the way they make the burger as is, I usually don't add any additional ingredients to it. The sauce they use is so good! And I'll shamelessly admit that I ALWAYS switch out my drink for a Mexican Vanilla shake! :) There is both a drive-thru window and indoor seating. Till next time, Rebecca read more
