Dans is an Austin classic. I have been coming here for years. They have a great burger and fries and I love he sweet tea. The staff are friendly and it's old school, order at the counter they call your number for pick up. The place is always clean and has the old diner feel. The staff love their jobs and sometimes clean up trays from table but that's not the norm during super busy times There is no drive thru or outdoor seating but the booths feel comfy and nostalgic. Get an Austin icon burger here anytime!! read more

An Austin classic! I just love their curly fries. I am pretty sure I can live off Dan's curly fries for the rest of my days! The ambiance is classic and retro, with cheerful vibes coming from great service. We ordered cheeseburgers, curly fries, and onion rings. We were offered BBQ sauce and gladly took it to dip this and that. Great parking, a nearby bus stop, and easy to go ordering. I definitely plan to come back more often! read more

There's something special about walking into a place that's been open longer than you've been alive! This place was packed on a weekday and I had to circle the block a couple times to find parking. I went during lunch time and despite the packed restaurant, my order was made pretty quickly. I didn't realize just how big the burger was, I ordered a double which was massive! This place gave me diner vibes and I was here for it. I took my order to-go because of the crowd, but the food was still hot when I ate it. Looking forward to trying a shake the next time I go back! read more

Homegrown and full of heart, this Austin staple has become a go-to for the Pechacek family. The fries hit that perfect balance--crispy, golden, and impossible to stop eating--while the burgers are consistently stacked, juicy, and done right every time. And when the craving calls for something simple and satisfying, the chicken tenders basket absolutely delivers. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere: every visit feels personal, with friendly faces greeting you at the door and sending you off with a genuine smile. It's the kind of spot that feels like part of the neighborhood--warm, welcoming, and always worth coming back to. read more

A time machine back to the 1980s. The aesthetic, lighting, and prices feel decades out of place. On the fast food scale, I would place the burger above large chains but below In-and-out. The staff are extremely nice, more than I expected for a fast food place. read more

Just got a small double cheese burger and a regular small hamburger with fies at Dans#2 4306 Manchaca in Austin. The fries were a mix of over done fries along with under done soggy fries and were terrible. The burgers aucked as well, buns were stale and cooked on all sides to make them like cardboard Its sad, Dan's Burgers was my favorite place until now. I just threw $20 away. read more

Great nostalgic burger joint that has so much more. We were hoping to hit that sweet spot so we could order breakfast and lunch, but missed the window so will have to go back for breakfast. We did manage to sneak in a half order of biscuits and gravy with our burgers. The biscuits were dense and it was unfortunately served cold, so hard to fully appreciate. Flavor was not as rich as I had expected and I probably would not order again. The burgers were delicious! Great flavor and really fresh ingredients. The buns were buttered just right. Curly fries were down right irresistible. Onion rings were cooked really well. We indulged with a chocolate malt, too, and it was so very rich and yummy! read more

It's an Austin institution and the retro diner vibes are here! Our family finally stopped by for lunch and loved the old school decor and kind service but felt the food was just alright. The menu is very simple and all in all has just the classics. I got a cheeseburger dressed all the way and some onion rings and fries to share with the rest of the family. Food comes out pretty quick and hot. That said, the curly fries were probably the best part of the meal - good fry, well seasoned and crispy. The burger was very ok - no seasoning, super greasy and meat is a bit dry - definitely needs ketchup situation. The onion rings are hand breaded but a bit soggy even fresh. Also needs some seasoning too. Maybe that's why all the tables got salt and pepper? read more

Ive always heard so much about these burgers but really it was good, but wasnt so great that I'd make the drive into Austin just for this burger. Dont get me wrong, it was good but wasn't the best ive ever had. I got some grease from this burger on my white dress... so just be cautious of that. I didnt anticipate that with my first bite. I'd order again for sure but wear black next time :) read more

Dan's is a little bit of a throwback to an old burger joint. Burgers are good and hefty. The fixings are fresh and the pickles are the highlight. The menu is simple and sweet with cashiers ready to take your order. I had a great experience and it's decorated just like a diner should be. Of the fry choices the curly fries were best. They have the Cajun style flavor. There are Coke products served here. As for the parking, it is limited because it gets busy but just be patient. I can definitely recommend Dan's Hamburgers for a good old style burger made the way you like. read more

Dan's Hamburgers is a huge favourite on r/austinfood. I came here around noon on Saturday, and there was a short line. I've heard that their breakfast is good, but I wasn't able to try it since they only serve it until 10:30am. I read reviews that say the tables are grimey, but they were not bad when we went. The interior looks like a classic American diner. I got a cheeseburger, my friend got a cheeseburger with jalapenos, and we shared a large fry for a total of $16. The large fry was not actually that large. It seemed more like a medium fry to me. The fries were pretty good, although I think most fries are good, so these were normal. My friend and I both thought the burgers were really good. I am not a big burger person, but this was great. read more

This place is just what you expect! It's a diner style restaurant with kind staff and a simple menu! The burgers were greasy, flavorful, and just hit the spot.

Ordered the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich to go which comes with chips (I assumed more along the lines of hash browns but it was indeed... a bag of potato chips. Did I eat it? Absolutely but later on because I don't need chips at 8 am ) The sandwich was delightful and I enjoyed it. I'd come by and try something different next time. read more

For a burger joint that's been around for 50 years, it tastes like it (great, no frills, freshly made-to-order burgers and fries)! But...it also looks like it. The inside is pretty disgusting, hence the 3 star rating. I'd say 3-3.5/5 overall. They also serve breakfast! The AC supply and returns in the ceiling had an ungodly amount of dust. The ceiling tiles and ceiling grid had so many stains and rust. It was not the type of place you'd want to sit in to eat. Ceiling fan in the lobby was caked with dust. Sure, it's an old fashioned diner style place with hard benches and tables. They do wipe them down in between customers, but they're long overdue for a good clean up and upgrade. The food itself is decent, albeit a bit pricy for a diner. The burgers were hot and fresh and flavorful! The onion rings were okay, and the curly fries were tastier than their regular fries looked, but not the best I've had. The vanilla malt (not pictured) was tasty but brick thick. Difficult to drink from the plastic straw. If you want a no frills, fresh, hot burger - this is the place. I can't say I'd return with so many other more convenient burger spots around town, but I'm glad I finally tried this long-standing Austin spot! read more

Really I would give them a 4.75. The food was very yummy. My ham sandwich was excellent and I would make the drive again for that thick, creamy chocolate malt. Only two small critiques were that the restaurant was extremely cold and they wouldn't let me sub fries for the chips that came with the ham sandwich. read more

Good old style cheeseburgers, you can tell that beef is fresh and not greasy and you can build your own. I am glad they keep reasonable prices and good quality product. Fries is also good and fresh. No errors or any delays. Like it happens in any burger place. Restroom could be maintained a little better. Service was good, especially an old lady who took our order was on top of it. read more

Delicious!! All the toppings are super fresh. I got a burger fully loaded which is ketchup, tomato, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion! The burger is seasoned. If you don't like seasoning, this is not the burger for you. Everything made fresh to order. Not fake fresh but actually cooked after you order. Counter service, which I love! Don't live in Austin for 13 years and finally come here. Stop and come NOW! Yummy! I forgot to take good pics!! It looked to good so I dove in! read more

10/10 best burgers in town! Every time I step in here I feel like I'm back in the 90s. So good.

Back in Austin for the day I had to go. Good burger, just as juicy and greasy as the first one I had in 1973.

Great Service and Food and has served Austin for Years and always priced right. So enjoy!

Dans Hamburgers has been around for a long time and it has that old school diner feel to it. Serving up greasy and great hamburgers. The service was good and the food came out right away and was hot. We tried one of their double cheeseburgers the burger was delicious and came with all the fixings you would expect from a burger. We also got a side of their curly fries. The food was cheap and delicious makes for a cheap great meal. read more

If you're looking for a great place to get a really good burger, you can find it at this institutional landmark. This place has been in the same place on Lamar Boulevard for five decades. Unfortunately, it also is showing some signs of its age. If you're coming here during the lunch hours between 11 and 1 pm, parking can be a hassle and you can expect at least a 10 minute wait. I do recommend getting it to go because the less than spacious dining room is always packed during this time. I recommend their double meat burger and their chocolate shakes are great, but they are not hand scooped. Their fries are good, but nothing really that special. The thing I noticed missing was the fact that they used to offer three sizes of their burgers and now they don't. Although, seven dollars for a double single cheese large burger is still a great deal. The service is good and the kitchen crew is very capable of handling the rush. The burgers here have been consistently good over the years, which keeps me coming back. read more

Dan's is one of those longtime Austin establishments one hopes will always be around. One of my all time favorite Austin memories was getting a plate of delicious pancakes with family while in town. So many businesses have come and gone in ATX, but it's great to know Dan's is still here. If you are a diner aficionado, visiting this great restaurant is definitely recommended. read more

Dan's is all about the Hamburger! It's just a great no frills old school Hamburger Joint. Food is 5 stars and close to my heart!! One thing you might not know about is their Biscuits and Gravy on their breakfast menu is literally the precursor to starting and ending a life of great choices!! Nah but really if you haven't checked out Dan's by now, you have to give them a shot. Like I said it's a no frills place so don't expect something fancy! read more

I was excited to finally give Dan's Hamburgers a visit due to all of the recommendations I got for a good burger. Upon arriving, you can definitely tell that the place has been around for a while. The building is old, and doesn't seem like much when walking in. The cashier/customer service was that of any normal fast food restaurant. And the tables were all dirty as well. I ordered the Double Meat and Single Cheese regular, sandwich only, which came out to $6.59 before taxes. Not a bad price, but I must say that the burger tastes almost identical to Whataburger. Just an average fast food burger. Not sure what all the hype is about, but I've got a feeling it's a nostalgia thing for all the Austinites who have been around for a while. Overall, not bad, but just not great. read more
