Great hamburgers. Yummy malted milk shakes. And a cute 50s diner atmosphere. I will definitely eat here again! Thanks Dans Hamburgers

We have been Dan's fans for the past three years living in the area and have visited this location about a dozen times, never a complaint. My son asked for Dan's last night for his birthday... we have NEVER had such awful burgers. We ordered three cheeseburgers, a large onion ring and a small fry. The onion rings were AWFUL from frozen rings, not their normal fresh cut, hand battered rings. The burgers were AWFUL... everything about the burger was warm but the meat, and that wasn't even their normal patty. We were INCREDIBLY disappointed and it will be a long while before we return, if we ever do. We would have been better off at McDonald's. read more

Wow. Fool me once Shame on me. Fool me once fool me twice.... Fool me once won't fool me again.... Except they did. Dans is Trash. No flavor, old grease taste, zero custo service they officially fell off! I got a breakfast taco and boy was it BLAND! A damn shame they even open for business. read more

Dare I say it? I guess I will have to. Dan's Hamburgers is one of the best hamburger joints this side of the Pecos. I don't know what it is, the juicy meat, the fresh veggies, the pickles, cheese or just everything but this burger wants me going for another! Their fries aren't too bad either and they complement the burger well. You will not be disappointed. This place gets 5 stars! read more

THE BEST burgers in Texas!!! Once you've had Dan's all other burgers just seem to be blah. Have to get the curly fries, and don't forget to add jalapenos, and ask them to grill the onions too on a double meat, triple cheese. Don't settle for just a burger, get a Dan's next time you have a craving for a juicy homemade cheeseburger. You WILL definitely be back again and again. read more

I've come here a lot over the last five years. Today the place was an incredible mess. Trays everywhere, trash all over the floor - lettuce, fries, straw wrappers. It was absolutely disgusting. Had this been my first visit, it would be my last. I only hope the food quality remains high. I am updating this review but keeping the rating as is. I came through the drive-through today to get two burgers and a large order of onion rings. At the window the cashier asked me to pull forward with onion rings. 20 minutes later I went into check on the status of my onion rings. He said that they had to completely make all new onion rings because they were out. That's fine, but they could've at least let me know rather than leaving me sitting outside for 20 minutes. I can only hope that my burgers didn't sit in the window that long as well. read more

Cheap burgers with quality taste! Sometimes the quality of the fries are inconsistent, but never bad. They seem short-staffed at the moment so it may take a moment for your food to be ready, but this is still my favorite burger in Buda. read more

This place is good. I've eaten breakfast and lunch and have enjoyed both. The staff is friendly and helpful, but I've had my issues with the restaurant before. For a period, I kept finding pieces of ham and bacon in omelets that should not have had either. I emailed the company after each incident and they welcomed the feedback. Because there aren't a lot of breakfast options in Buda, I'd often go back after a few months because the pickings are slim. They were doing well, but today I found hair rather than the usual pork surprise. I don't understand how one person, that one person being me, has an over 70% rate of receiving the incorrect order or having something wrong with their order. Although there are things that I do enjoy about this restaurant, I don't enjoy finding things that I didn't request in my food. read more

Just a good old fashioned hamburger. Nothing weird or kooky... Ordered a double with cheese and onion rings. The burger was cooked to perfection. The rings were lightly battered and perfectly fried. Give me simple and well done over fancy and clunky any day. An Austin staple. read more

I have been a long time fan of Dan's until recently. The quality of their burgers has changed and they are not as good, with the burgers having a chewy texture and no flavor. The onion rings are still good. Hopefully they will get back to their previous quality. Till then I'll have to find another burger place. read more

Best burgers in buda, and it isnt even close. Consistently hot, and their curly fries are to die for.

I've always driven by the Dans location on Manchac, but the traffic and long lines told me not to go there. Not being able to find parking gives me anxiety Luckily I was down at Cabelas and found another location! I am used to In and Out burger as a fellow Californian. I know, I know. Another Californian in Austin but I really did enjoy this place. Not only did they have the best onion rings I've had in awhile, BUT they have ranch. The ranch isn't Hidden Valley(at least I think it isn't) Not sure if they offer a lettuce wrap, but I wanted to torture myself with carbs and the gluten. Hooray for allergies! read more

I get that this is an iconic eatery and generations of folks have gone there, but the burgers are just average. Nothing great, nothing bad. Usually long lines to get them. Pass for me. read more

Amazing!!! Double meat double cheese all the way and when you add a fried egg take's it to another level!!!

My wife and I stopped by for a late lunch. Mistakenly we ordered the chicken tenders... These pre-breaded Sysco frozen no taste, over cooked dog treats were the worst. Stick with the greasy burgers... Dans you can do better !!! read more

The burger was bland The onion rings were ok but also had little flavor The staff was great though Big Robs in Kyle is better read more

Spent 35 minutes in the drive through line after I ordered!! When I get my food I'm told they do not have gravy for my chicken strips. I'm offered ranch dressing as a substitute which I decided. When I get home and open the box of chicken strips I literally had about ten fries and a few were black. read more

Good food and service. Would for sure go back for a good burger and great onion rings.

It's 2021 and still not taking AMEX? Wow! Don't come here if you use AMEX or a business expense account. They don't take AMEX, but they take Venmo? Someone isn't being smart about their business financials. read more

Best hamburgers in Buda Texas. Workers are friendly and orders are a little wait at times but it's worth it Hamburgers are great and fries.

A predictable greasy spoon. Great service and food that delivers on the promise you would expect as soon as you see the exterior, i.e. a classic hamburger joint intended to provide a guilty pleasure at an affordable price. It can get fairly busy on the weekends, but the burgers are to die for if you show up hungry. read more

Opens early with the smell of fresh coffee. Enjoy the big biscuits and gravy for sure! We love the diner atmosphere and coffee refills. The three offerings of breakfast tacos are generous and delicious! They make a great to-go breakfast. read more

Always always ALWAYS great food and even better service. Anyone who has something bad to say about Dans, especially this location(Buda) probably needs to re-evaluate their own attitude. read more

Earlier this evening, I ordered some burgers, chicken strips, and fries. When I got home, I realized, no chicken strips; no curly fries. We called and asked them to make it right and they did. Not only did they make the chicken strips, they made our entire meal again, so it would be hot. We were also excited to see that they threw some brownies in the bag. We called and thanked them. Then I took my first bite. A hair. Gross, but it happens. Then my wife took a bite, another hair. I grabbed a pinch of fries and held them to the light... more hair. This was not a coincidence. According to the manager, the employees wear hair nets, therefore someone working at Dan's deliberately put hair in our food. That's disgusting. We will not be returning to this establishment. If you decide to visit, pray they make your food correctly the first time. If not, eat it anyway. read more

It's not bad but I guess because I'm used to good quality burgers my standards are a little higher for a 4 star burger joint. The place also advertises home made onion rings and that's not what I got with my order. If the onion rings had been on point I would have given it four stars. Burger was tasty just not spectacular- however definitely better than McDonalds or Burger King. FYI they have free WIFI- definite plus! read more

Came here for breakfast. Perfect over-easy eggs, hash browns with a nice crust and fluffy biscuits. It was busy for a mid-week breakfast time, but the service was excellent. read more

First time here and I must say the hamburgers at Dan's are so yummy and juicy. Normally when I go out for a hamburger I have to add extra mayo but here no mayo needed. Will return to explorer their menu further. read more

The burger is good...good enough for me to co e back, but did t WOW me. That's only because my standards with beef are pretty high. If you're hungry, but don't want anything too big, get the medium single meat.just the right size. Shakes are pretty good too. Great place for a cheap lunch and tasty food read more

Dan's Hamburgers - Buda - Medium single meat with strawberry shake - Burgers Near Me - Buda, Texas

When you eat here you are in for a treat. I am a native Austenite that has had burgers all over the state and still when I think about the best burger I could get it will almost always be Dan's. My wife and I visited on 01/24/2021 around 5PM. The service was great at this lots of "yes ma'ams" from the lady taking drive-thru orders. Our order came out quickly, fresh and hot most especially the curly fries. The taste, flavor and nostalgia have been here since my dad brought me in 1980's and 1990's. Dan's is and has always been that juicy (some people say 'greasy') hamburger that never disappoints. You need tons if napkins and even terry cloth tyle towels as you eat every last bite of this burger. We orderd the hickory burger and a double meat single cheese both with bacon. My wife ordered large curly fries while I ordered a small. They are always very generous with the fries portions so be ready for leftover fries. As I slowly embrace the new face of Austin and the ton of new restaurants it brings, I am glad Dan's is still here in 2021. Your money and time are worth giving to Dan's as they are still number one in my book. read more

I've never been to a place where at 5:50 in the morning there are already cars waiting in the parking lot for a place to open until Dan's. I think their burgers are ok, but breakfast is where it's at! The drive thru is a plus if you're in a hurry. You want a cheeseburger at 6 am? You got it! I think Dan's is the best breakfast option in Buda. Buda PD can back me up on that. Be prepared to wait on the weekends as it gets super packed with families. read more

Hamburgers and shakes. You won't be disappointed. But it was drive thru when we went. Hope we get to visit inside soon.

Dan's in Buda is a really great place for an inexpensive breakfast. Parking is easier than at the South Austin location on Manchaca Road, and service is definitely friendlier. This location also features a convenient drive-thru, which is constantly busy. Service is pleasant and fast out of the necessity to turn tables quickly. When I ate, a very friendly manager brought out the food. It was a bit confusing as that delivery method can be, because he has no notes of who ordered what and you have to help him sort things out. The manager followed up with us later to ensure we were satisfied with our meals. Get a booth if at all possible. You can jam together the two-tops for larger groups, but, since a breakfast order can comprise multiple plates for one person (pancakes are served on a plate of their own, for instance), you're constantly paranoid that something precious is going to go overboard (minus 0.75 stars). Honestly, their two-tops are best suited for one at breakfast. Combine your plates to be more comfortable eating. Several in my party commented on this aspect of our visit. Pancakes and bacon are spot on and would hold their own against anyone's. The scrambled eggs were flat and dry, not at all fluffy, which suggested powdered or pasteurized origin (minus 0.75 stars). Saturday mornings can get busy, and you'll feel considerable waitress and bus pressure to move on once everyone has cleaned their plates (and, with food this good, everyone will!). That's a bit disconcerting if you choose Dan's for a get-together like we did, but, in all honesty, you'll find that to be true anywhere you go for breakfast in Buda that's decent. A solid 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 for good measure. That can easily be a 4-5 star experience with the right table and menu choices, provided breakfast is a bodily function and not a destination. read more

Great little diner i found when hunting for a breakfast spot. The food was ok, not amazing, but what the food lacked was made up by the friendly staff. This was going to be a 3 star review, but had to give that 4th for the way i was treated. i ordered an omelet and it came out quickly, but just didnt have enough, well of anything really. Rather skimpy on the internal ingredients. Maybe i just caught the cook on an off day. But over all the food was just ok. If you are hungry, they serve food i guess. read more

I don't give five stars to hamburger joint unless they are outstanding, and Dan's is. Excellent hamburgers and great malts. Courteous employees. read more

We went here for breakfast and boy does it get crowded. Not many options in the area, but we were meeting up with a coworker that just had a baby along with a 2 year old....so we got placed in the corner booth and given coloring book pages and some crayons to keep the little one occupied. Our server was pretty nice, it wasn't the cleanest set up (fork and some eggs under the table) but this is a greasy spoon diner so I expect this and look forward to it. Even though they were super crowded, we did not get rushed to leave and was still provided great service. We all tried the biscuits and gravy which I thought was good, I had mine with an over easy egg. The omelets and hash browns also look very good as do their sandwiches. I think that it is exactly what it sells itself as so you can't expect more from it. Greasy, home cooked diner food at it's best. read more

Great, classic burgers. Never disappointed when I eat here. I always get a large double meat cheeseburger with jalapeños, large fries and a large Dr. Pepper. Hits the spot every time. Matter of fact....gonna head there now!! read more

Cute retro place! Good food. Nice staff. It was a fun place to have breakfast and lunch.

October 2018. Three out of five. We stopped here for a quick lunch after arriving in South Austin. This restaurant is kind of a cross between a fast food hamburger joint and a diner. The menu is much more a fast food hamburger joint while the the aesthetic is more of a diner. We ordered at the counter but you also have the option of sitting at a bar and there seem to be a active community. The burger was good if not overly flavorful and the prices were Fair. If you're in the area and have a desire for a meat-centric burger this is your place. read more
