I chose the Cajun fries this go around, so good (salty and little spice) which complimented the burger well. Service was great, our sever was friendly and quick to deliver our food and carry out our orders correctly (my wife got the chicken burger modified for her needs and it was dead on). The chicken burger was really good as well. But I'll stick to the beef ;) The feel of the restaurant is that of a bar/restaurant, dim and cozy. Music filled the air which was pretty chill country music. No need to rush here!

Ordered the special through Uber Eats. Asked that they not obliterate the hamburger patty, (they…read morehav a tendency to smash the hell out of them)and that it be pink. I think that their buy one get one free was because they cut the amount of meat in half. It was over cooked , and so salty I had to throw it out. Used to be one of the best burgers around. Won't risk it again.

I arrived about twenty minutes before they closed and was thrilled to find they still had some pie left. My colleague is right to rave about it. Absolutely melts in your mouth delicious. Wow! The diner itself is the epitome of a small Texas town diner. Wooden tables, chairs, and booths with red and white checked table coverings. Exposed brick walls and a tin ceiling. Spacious seating. Over-the-top friendly service...so sweet (just like the pie). Looking forward to stopping in again to try more from the menu.

You know that one movie? The one with that one actor who wears Texas on his sleeve? I think he has…read morea catchphrase with something along the lines of "For sure, for sure, for sure." I'm pretty sure that's what he says. Anyways, he eats at this burger drive-thru place called Top Notch. Thanks to this movie representing Austin so well, the movie and the restaurant became a cultural touchstone of the Texas capital. Fifty years later, Top Notch opened their second location in the middle of Hutto, Texas. I've been to the Hutto Top Notch location three times now. Once to try, once because of its convenience during an event, and once for lunch with co-workers. Each time, I've left with the same impression: it's alright, alright, alright. That's what the quote was. I remember now. I've only had their burgers. Twice, their cheeseburger, and yesterday, the Top Pick Burger. All things considered, it's a decent burger. There is nothing obscene or wrong with the burger. It's just a burger. The Top Pick Burger seems like it could be fun and special, but it's really just a worse burger compared to their cheeseburger. It's not bad, but I didn't find it a better replacement for a cheeseburger. Their menu has a lot more options than just their charcoal-broiled hamburgers. They have fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, seafood combos, and their Top Dog sandwich. Two hot dogs in a sandwich. Something I'd whip together if I was seeing stars off Benadryl. Their fries are pretty good, though pretty simple: skinny, crispy, and salty. Good fries. Their shakes are thick without it being a fight for my life to drink. I don't know if my lack of intense enjoyment was thanks to recently having Johnny Rockets and being more impressed with their attempts at crafting a retro '60s burger joint, but Top Notch is more or less Middle-of-the-Pack Notch.

Even though I mispronounced pretty much every dish name, he was sweet and knew exactly what I was talking about. It really is lovely to interact with people like that.

It's a Friday night and my buddy and I decided it was time for a little adventure. He saw a video…read moreon social media talking about Buddha Burger having some of the best smash burgers in the Austin area, so we made the trek to the Valero gas station in Pflugerville that houses the burger joint to give it a shot. As we walked in, we were surprised to see a pretty long line. Mere seconds later, the entire line dissipated because it was all delivery drivers. The amount of DoorDash and Uber Eats orders coming out of Buddha Burger is insane, and for a burger joint, they seemed pretty on top of getting orders out in a timely manner. My buddy placed his order first, getting the California Classic and their Chocolate Toffee Cookie. I ordered the Big Buddha with their poutine purely out of curiosity. In about 10 minutes, both of our orders were ready. Inside the gas station, there is one large kitchen island style table where everyone can sit. The Big Buddha was good. It didn't wow me by any means, but it was solid. I think the hype around it being the best smash burger in the area led to some disappointment because it was fine. It didn't make me melt or blow my taste buds away. The California Classic my buddy ordered was also good, but nothing extreme. As for the poutine, I do not see myself ordering it again. Ever. The cheese curds were not as melty as I would hope, even with hot gravy poured on top, and by the time we got to it, the fries were completely soggy and lacked any crispness. I know poutine is inherently soggy, but this just did nothing for me. Maybe I'm not a poutine guy and that could be on me, but I'm just being honest. Neither of us cared for it. We split the cookie, which was huge but toothpick thin. We both thought it was okay, but a little too sweet. Not worth ordering again. We decided to dine in because I think food is best eaten immediately after it's ready. While waiting, we watched the kitchen operate and it honestly felt like a new hire was being berated at every given moment. The staff seemed to be working like they were under Carmy from The Bear. As someone just sitting and waiting for food, it felt awkward to witness and made me a little uncomfortable. I know most of their business comes from delivery apps so this probably isn't seen often, but for a place called Buddha Burger, there was no awakened state from the staff. There was no peace and no compassion. It felt weirdly hard-ass while we were there. I hate feeling lied to by a social media video. I've become weary of most especially if they get special treatment and don't talk about the plus and minuses. Everything is a lie these days. At least they didn't put generative AI in the burgers. I'll drive for good food, but the 20 minute trip didn't make this feel totally worth it. The burgers are good, but nothing exceptional, especially at the price point. If I lived closer, I'd probably return, but I don't have a strong urge to come back. Still, it's worth a shot. RIYL: Smash burgers in ten minutes or less.

But the massive hand-breaded homemade chicken fried steak was plenty comforting. Usually when I am in Hutto, It is hard for me to turn down the Texan Cafe. Legendary pie is legendary pie. The Texan's mains are perfectly lovely so long as you don't eat so much that you can't have pie. There is nothing like the Texan Cafe in Austin itself. Jack Allen's they have in Austin itself. * * * But if you can tear yourself away from the Texan Cafe, And you can get yourself while in Hutto to go to Jack Allen's, You will come out happy.
