    Bacon Cheeseburger with mustard, pickles, onions - Delicious
    James W.

    This place is old, nasty, greasy, and sticky, BUT, it serves one heck of a delicious cheeseburger !!! This is the 3rd Dan's location I've been to in Austin.

    What a bargain!

    I've lived in Austin way too long for this to be my first visit to Dan's. I had an early appointment and afterward I wanted a simple reasonably cheap breakfast, and I decided to give Dan's a try. There's plenty of nostalgia for Austin "as it used to be," and I can understand that, but I try not to get into it, especially given all the cool new things about Austin. But I will admit that this place feels like a throwback to simpler cheaper times and I really enjoyed it. No hipster vibe, no avocado, toast, or shrimp and grits, just a damn good breakfast, with plenty of variations, all at a reasonable price. Since I wasn't too hungry, I ordered the half order of biscuits and gravy. One big split biscuit, a generous dollop of excellent sausage gravy, one over easy, egg, and two slices of very good bacon made for a tasty, filling, and surprisingly economical breakfast. Looking around at what everybody else was eating, I resolved that my first visit to Dan's we'll definitely not be my last.

    The longest fry ever

    Very unique local burger experience. Very tasty and well crafted burger. Did I mention, well crafted? Dan's burgers have very vibrant textures and flavors unique to its own. I'm not sure it measures up to the greatest 'fast food' burgers of all time, but it's pretty darn good. Onion rings were good, but I prefer a more panko or even a beer batter, but these were still good and fresh. Do stop in if in the area. Dicks

    The walk-in is OK but the booth and the seats are torn. They need to be fixed. It's very small and a lot of trash in the trash bins to the floor where you can see it. The ceiling has water leaks and it's cracked and the wall beams are dusty with some cobwebs and it's broken down a little bit and the floor needs to be fixed because it has cracks in it and the black mats that are waterproof for slipping they're dirty and need to be vacuumed and then clean the menus need to be wiped down the AC vents need to be cleaned because they're dirty and black and full of wet cobwebs their ketchup bottles need to be refilled. The lights some of them don't work and some of them like one yellow light on .

    Oh my gosh I LOVE Dans!!! Lots of burgers and Austin. Lots of really good ones too. Dans is a classic though. And cheap! I 100% recommend Dans cheeseburger and onion rings. There fries are also amazing. Only thing I would change is how late they are open. Craving a mid night burger and unfortunately they are closed by 9pm.

    I seriously love everything about this place. It's got the old school greasy spoon vibe going. And, I love that! The employees are rad, sweet, and friendly. The food, OMBurger!!! So freakin' good. I got a cheeseburger, fries, and chocolate shake. The boyfriend got a cheeseburger and onion rings. We went with the small burger versions. Can't even imagine the big ones. The onion rings were perfect-O! Perfectly battered and fried. The shake was like an old-fashion malt with yummy chocolate flavor. THE BURGERS WERE SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Dare I say better than my beloved Shake Shack?!? There, I said it! Cheeseburgers $4.15...what?!?! My meal was just over 12 bux. Epic. Go.

    I was looking for a burger place that wasn't a food truck and I found this place. The burger was hot, fresh and tasty. The veggies on it all tasted fresh and the service was very fast. The inside isn't much to look at but the burgers are fantastic. Definitely give this place a try. My meal was about 12.50 for a burger, onion rings and a medium soda

    Small curly fries

    Was Super excited to have a burger spot close to me but it was underwhelming. Tasted like a poor man version of Whataburger. Curly fries were yummy tho and price is decent.

    Double Cheeseburger
    Dan M.

    This was a spot that offered burgers, hot sandwiches, chicken tenders, and milkshakes. Ordering was done at the counter. There were plenty of tables to sit at. Our order was large, but the food came out in a timely manner. I had a regular double cheeseburger ($6.95). It came with lettuce and tomatoes I believe. It was solid. It was what one expects at a place like this. The meat to bread ratio was ideal as well. The fries were okay, hot, but not seasoned too much. The onion rings were the preferred choice as they were crispy and had a good ratio of breading to onion. I also had some grilled cheese along with chicken fingers. The grilled cheese was standard while the chicken fingers were not bad either. It was odd that the chicken fingers came with gravy as that was very plain. BBQ sauce was needed for the chicken. For dessert, I had some of the vanilla and chocolate milkshakes. They were very thick and creamy. I would prefer a milkshake to be a little less thick, but it was not that big of a deal as it was creamy like I mentioned. They were both traditional, which I prefer when having a milkshake. Will I go back? Certainly.

    I went to Dans the other day and got the chicken strips basket and looked at my roll and this is what it looked like.

    Double Meat Double cheese

    It's an Austin institution and well deserved. Old timey, homemade greasy burgers that hit the spot every time. You know what you're getting when you come here and you can customize the burger any way you want. Not the best burger in Austin but it's a step up from the fast food chains. The onion rings are top notch. Lightly battered and absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and fast.

I ordered the migas, and the amount of onions in the dish was overwhelming--so much so that it felt like I had ordered a plate of onions rather than migas. The masa cakes were definitely the standout item and were absolutely delicious. However, the rest of the dish fell short. The sauce was extremely rich, making it difficult to enjoy or finish the meal. That said, the restaurant itself is adorable, and our waiter was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were both great. While this breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I'll still return and stick with favorites like the fried green tomatoes and taquito salad, which were excellent during my previous visit.

Their burger is easily one of the best I've had in Austin, especially paired with their thin, crispy fries. It's my go-to order almost every time. One thing I love is that they switch up the steak portion of the menu a few times a year, and it never disappoints. Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine. At this point, June's has become a staple in our house--usually with a couple of Diet Cokes and either the burger or whatever steak they're featuring. A few of my friends swear by the chicken sandwich (fair warning: it can get a little messy!), the half roasted chicken, and the tuna crudo, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you order. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which keeps us coming back. I definitely recommend making a reservation since it tends to get pretty busy, especially during peak hours.

You have to scan a QR code upon arrival to get in line, thought that was weird that the host didn't just add you to the list- anywho.

We were sat inside. Our waitress was a older pescatarian lady which was cool since i'm pescatarian too. She provided great suggestions and was very personable. We ordered the prima dora omelet which would have used more filling but it was over all good, the black beans we ordered in the side , we possible the best black beans i've had. We also ordered a veggie benidict off the seasonal menu. The hollandaise sauce was a bit bland but I used the yellow bird habenero salsa and it kicked up the flavor profile- Overall we really enjoyed the food, service & vibes!

When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused.
