Dan's has been a classic spot in Austin for many years and I haven't been here in at least 20 years. I decided to stop by because I had a taste for a cheeseburger. First of all, I would like to shout out Bianca for house and a positive attitude , a nice smile and excellent customer service. She was very patient, friendly and welcoming upon me entering the establishment, and that may the experience better.. The restaurant was pretty busy due to the popularity but everything seemed to be moving like a well oiled machine. She took my order accurately, repeated it back to me before placing it. The restaurant was clean the atmosphere seen vintage but yet relaxed. You could definitely tell that they have been around serving food for years. I got my order within about five minutes of waiting and upon taking it out the bag, I can see the juices dripping outside of the paper. That gave me the sign at this burger was perfectly cooked and also gave me that old school type nostalgic hamburger feel. I ordered curly fries from my side and they came out hot and fresh as well. Definitely a great feeling I should've eaten it there just to absorb the diner like experience, but I was on a go and had to leave. read more

Was craving a good burger and relied on Yelp with our decision. Always a solid choice. Thanks Yelpers! What a fun old diner feel! Loved the colors and atmosphere. Guy at the counter was really friendly and helpful. Great they focus on just a few items. This is why the high ranking! Got the hamburger but added jalapeños and bacon. The bacon was nice and thick. Not overly cooked. Just right! Son got the double burger with cheese and bacon. Both were fantastic. The onion rings are perfect! Not too much batter. Nicely thick and good size. The fries were great too. Not salty at all. Glad Dan's is so highly rated on here. It's a gem of a spot. read more

Dan's Hamburgers has been an Austin tradition since 1973 and is still family owned and operated. It is a classic Austin comfort spot that never disappoints. I have been frequenting this location for years for their burgers. I order the cheeseburger with either a side of onion rings or curly fries and a soda. The burgers are simple, fresh, and consistently good, made with angus beef with juicy patties and all the toppings; cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion. The onion rings are crispy and flavorful, while the curly fries are perfectly seasoned and addicting. Fast service, great prices, and a nostalgic vibe that makes it easy to keep coming back. Sometimes the classics really are the best. read more

Great place for a cheeseburger. My wife and I ordered the cheeseburger combo...she got the fries and I got the onion rings. The cheeseburgers are cooked on an old seasoned grill, which gives it some extra flavor. The cheeseburgers were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The buns were soft and fresh as well as the lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. The cheese was melted all over the patty. They were really good. The fries were hot and seasoned with just enough salt. The onion rings were sweet, crispy and crunchy and served hot. The meal was delicious. The employees were very welcoming, friendly and polite. The restaurant was really clean and had a nice atmosphere. read more

Dan's Hamburgers is a South Austin classic. The burgers are always fresh, juicy, and cooked just right, and the fries are some of the best around. Fast, friendly service and a nostalgic atmosphere make it the kind of place you'll keep coming back to. Simple, delicious, and consistently great. read more

Breakfast is da bomb here. Order anything with hash browns, which they'll fry to your specifications. I choose the bacon and cheese omelette, my kids like the egg, potato and melted cheese tacos. Good iced tea as well. Remember to get the code for the bathroom. read more

Delicious, boyfriend suggested we try & burger was great and curly fries the best ! Will be back again

Austin's best old school burger! It's an austin tradition to eat here. There was a time when Dan's was THE burger. You may have had a handful of choices in the early 80's and Dan's was the reigning king of fresh angus beef burgers. The food and service is always just right. I do miss the salad they removed from the menu during COVID and I don't visit them once a week like I use to, since a salad with my burger is a must (can't eat fries every visit ). I'm not a kid anymore! Gotta stay healthy. The burgers may have a lot of competition these days, but it's still a top 5 burger in Austin and the surrounding areas. It's also less expensive than fast food joints! read more

This was truly sub-McDonald's in every way. Stale bun, grey tasteless patty, microscopic bits of onion and pickle. Just awful. No incentive to even finish what I ordered. If Dan's was ever good, it is absolutely terrible now. read more

Quick breakfast on the way back to Houston. Great service. The food was good, Dan's is know for the breakfast tacos and burgers. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. Potato, egg and cheese taco 10/10: first off, one taco will suffice. Huge portions and very flavorful. The salsa was very good! Ala carte: Bacon, Biscuits and hash browns 10/10 read more

So good!! Austin classic? I love a smash burger and Dan's did a solid job at one! Get the burger sauce and extra on the side. The fries were pretty good too! Great for fast food that isn't chain read more

Was in the area and wanted to pick something up on the way home and the Dan's sign popped up. Jalapeno Cheeseburger - good quality burger, the cheese was nice and melted, the buns were well toasted, the ingredients tasted fresh overall. Pretty top tier for fast food burgers. Fries - fries were too soggy, and unseasoned. I really should've opted for the curly fries because I accidentally got one of those in my bag of regular fries and it was much better. read more

I finally made my way to Dan's Hamburgers and now see why this place is an institution in Austin. I won't pretend to know all the gossip from back in the day between Dan's and Fran's but what I can say is walking into this place is like being transported back in time, in the best way. I was not expecting the diner vibes and overall charm this place brought to my day, but it was welcomed! Their staff was very friendly and made it feel a step above the typical fast food ordering experience. Same goes for the food. It's no Jewboys but that's the point right? It's a better, local option compared to your Burger Kings, McDonalds and even (gulp) Whataburgers of the world (TX don't hate me for that last one, but I'm going to Dan's!) I will be back to try their breakfast and would recommend anyone that considers themselves an Austinite to give it a go... after all, it's probably been here long before you! read more

If you're in Austin and you're hungry for a good, hamburger, go to Dan's on Manchaca Road and Ben White. They are by far the best burgers in Austin, and it's not even close, and I'm not exaggerating. The burgers are made fresh and they sizzle with flavor. The tomatos, lettuce and onions are fresh and crisp and crunchy, the onion rings are big and crispy, the buns are fresh and warm and lightly toasted, the tea is fresh, cold, crisp and sweet. It makes for a great lunch. And you can't beat the price. read more

We are here twice while traveling through Austin! Staff was very friendly. Food was cooked fresh so wait time was a little longer than the usual drive thru experience but that was OK- worth the wait for hot and fresh food! Loved the curly fries! Burger was great!! Diner inspired vibe & decor inside the restaurant. At least hit the drive thru while in Austin - and don't mind the wait! Relax and live in anticipation! (The wait was only about 15 min) read more

This morning we went for breakfast as we had not been here for breakfast in awhile and it was great. We had western omelette hash browns wheat toast and coffee with biscuits and gravy with sausage and egg. It was hit fresh timely and we were waited on quickly and efficiently. The area was clean and well kept. A great place for breakfast and lunch for sure. read more

Just happened to be in the area and it was lunch time... so why not give them a try! I didn't feel like sitting down but in hindsight, I might have eaten sooner. I did the drive thru and I've read other comments where people have indicated the long wait and mine was exceptionally long. I've never been before so I kept it simple with a cheeseburger, onion rings and a shake. I was taking this home but decided to try the onion rings in the car. They are very good but a bit overcooked. The chocolate shake was epic! When I reached home and was able to take a bite of the burger, it was good. The bun is nothing special. Just something I could buy from a local grocery store. The burger itself was good in size and seemed to be quality beef. I ordered it with everything and it was delicious but it wasn't the best burger I've ever had. Overall... it's a burger. If I was nearby and hungry, I would probably try again but dine in. The whole point of the drive thru is convenience and speed. No speed going on at this place. Maybe not overcook the onion rings; they are good and I would order them again, but they just seemed too crunchy and seemed like very little onion inside and the only taste I remember is the fried coating. read more

Do yourself a solid and stop by Dan's and grab a bite to eat. The burger, curry fries and shake are a must try and for a little win get a brownie. The service was welcoming and very quick especially for lunch and they were pretty packed. Old school diner feel which is awesome and really cool spot to try especially if you are in the area. A simple burger goes a long way and this is a must try spot. read more

It's a special spot for Austin! It feels cultured and definitely would love to see them continue to thrive. It was a great filling burger

Austin animal center promised me a cute puppy and when I went to pivmck up the puppy, they would not let me take him home. I was heart broken and still am heart broken. A stupid unprofessional prune face manager was very cruel and mean hearted who stuck by her decision and wouldn't let me have the puppy no matter what I said. If They want good homes for their dogs they should NOT treat their customers this way. This was very hurtful to me and I'll NEVER adopt a pet from them because of this experience. How can they keep customers when they treat them as badly as I was treated? read more

Drive thru now sucks. Now you are forced to use a touch screen for a tip. I don't want to touch something that hundreds of people have already touched. Also drive thru don't get tips. Crazy... read more

Classic burgers and fries at a very reasonable price. Good every time! The classic diner ambiance is fun.

I moved to the area recently and have always been curious so I stopped through the drive through. I had a double meat burger and a side of curly fries and everything was delicious, it is an old fashioned burger that tastes homemade. My only gripe on this place is that getting in and out of the lot was a pain in the butt, but food wise it was reasonably priced and good food. read more

I have not been here for over 20 years and decided to stop by while in town. I brought my kids and had an awesome experience. The burgers were still amazing and I will definitely return when I am back in town. read more

This is the best burger place ever, and they're consistently good. Their cheeseburger was fresh and flavorful, curly fries hot and crunchy, and chocolate malt was perfect. Their parking is weird because if you enter off of the 71 side you can't loop around and have to exit if there's no spot. They should design that better. I also don't think it's in the best area of town given that they lock their bathrooms. Other than that I recommend! read more

Please, don't come here for breakfast. It's already crowded and you're in my way. Loved Dan's since before he divorced Fran's. All of the food is fresh and made to order. Breakfast is my fave, but it's a great lunch/dinner spot as well. Staff is always friendly but the drive thru can be slow. Reasonably priced. read more

BEST BURGERS EVER. Clean bathroom. Good staff. Burger toasted to a tea. The fries crispy but not greasy. Guy cleaning the table is the GOAT and nice. The burger was crispy fresh and hot. Always stocked with ketchup. Will always come back and come here if you want a meal better than any nice steakhouse. Best spot ever read more

Wonderful service and amazing food. Best breakfast and hamburgers are outstanding. Very friendly waiter and waitress.

First time eating here. Was very impressed with the serving size of the fries. Huge burger too! I will definitely eat here again the next time I'm in town for Cabela's read more

Still great food after all these years as one of the few remaining old Austin restaurants that still exist through all of the rapid development and exponential growth Austin has seen in the last 35 years. The service is great, and the restaurant is comfortable. If you want a good burger, as well as trip down memory lane at a restaurant that still stands the tests and challenges of time, you need to try or even revisit Dan's Hamburgers. They have earned the business they get for many, many decades. I am so glad they still exist. Not many old Austin establishments do. Please give them a try or revisit as often as you can. I know they appreciate all of their customers. read more

Dan's Hamburgers has been a fixture for me since 2001. As a 12 year-old, I'd beg my mom to take me on the way home from my piano lessons. Austin has changed, I've grown up and moved away, but Dan's has stayed consistent. I visit Austin 2-3 times per year and Dan's is a mandatory visit each time I go. There's something slick about a neon sign and a diner booth that speaks to me. My heart goes aflutter when I finish ordering and the cashier pulls up an old-school microphone to simply say "One Double" for the back-of-house to hear (which might also be caused by my actively-clogging arteries, if we're being real). There's something intrinsically human (dare I say...American?) about the Dan's Hamburgers experience. But the first bite of burger...every single time...it's life-affirming. A bit on the greasy side, but it's the tastiest dang grease I've ever known. You won't go wrong with the fries, straight or curly (I always end up with an "oopsie" curly in my bag of straight fries anyways). There has never been a place to go for a simple "burger and fries" that tops Dan's for me. 5 stars. 10/10. My favorite burger. read more

Came here a year ago and loved it, went today and wow, absolutely terrible, super dry and thin burgers, pulled out hair from the food, absolutely horrible, would give 0 stars if I could read more

Just love dans! Homey and local, the burgers are always cooked in fresh grease, and you can just tell the difference. Made with love and care, don't go to whataburger when local treasure dans is here. I'm so happy I live south again and go here whenever i like. If you bus, this is a quick stop for a yummy affordable dinner before you head downtown or to s Lamar. The transit center is walking distance. Dans is also next door to the wonderful radio coffee. Just the best burger around! read more
