Classic burger
Mariana G.

I got the classic burger, a cheese burger that comes with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, jalapeños, ketchup, mustard and mayo (which I customized to remove the mustard and the pickles). It was delicious and I devoured it. I also got two churros for dessert. I think they were supposed to come with chocolate or caramel dipping sauce, but even without the sauce these churros were delectable. The sweet and crispy exterior coated in cinnamon sugar contrasted with the soft interior filled with vanilla bean pastry cream makes for a truly tasty dessert.

Burger place

This place rocks. Just a food truck, but more than that. They serve some of the tastiest burgers I have ever had. And I only tried their double cheeseburger loaded minus the pickles. It was fantastic. Healthy half pound of beef as expected done right, not too salty, or over cooked. It is a new location on Guadalupe and 37th street just half a block from where I live. I was shopping down the strip and before I passed by I smelled a fantastic mix that made me stop by. Glad I did. Double cheeseburger, fries, loaded fried chicken sandwich for just $24 with nice tip... you can't go wrong. Just hope they stay there.

Onion Ring Burger

Our community in San Marcos is having an event and the Downtown Burgers food truck is one of the vendors invited to sell/serve food during the 2-day event. My wife, upon reading about burgers available from a food truck perused their website and made plans to go try their burgers after we played golf in the morning. Not reading the fine print on the announcement, we showed up for burgers at 1:30 PM only to find out the Downtown Burgers food truck wasn't scheduled to be there until 3 PM. Hungry and a bit frustrated, we drove back home where it's nice a cool (low to mid 90s out there) and waited until 3 PM to head back to our community's social hub. The truck arrived late and they experienced issues with power so by the time they were ready to take orders, it was closer to 4 PM and I was HANGRY. I just kept chanting this better be worth it. Once my wife placed our orders (Onion Ring burger for her and La Mananera burger for me...we also ordered onion rings and fries to go with our burgers), the cooks were fairly efficient and we were digging into our burgers in no time, inside an air conditioned building. The burgers were good AND messy...the fries and onion rings were fine. The burgers were juicy and flavorful. Why only 3 stars you ask? I guess the biggest hangup I had was the lack of value...$10 for a burger out of a food truck! That's more expensive than most burgers at Hopdoddy and in my humble opinion not as good as Hopdoddy's. I would rather see the $10 for burgers to include fries or onion rings. Lunch for 2 without drinks came out to $30 with tip.

Red food truck hidden in the back of a parking lot. Good burger, but curious if it's because of all the ingredients on the burger.

Fantastic food & guy at the counter is very nice. Probably the best tocos I've had so far

1/4 lb. Classic Burger Combo
Brandon Y.

Located in a rig across the street from the Austin Convention Center in downtown, this is probably a very convenient location to walk to for tourists and out-of-towners. The wait for your food is typically about 10 minutes from when you put in an order. I had walked past this place so many times on my way to other spots in downtown and figured I eventually had to try it. Wanting to give them the best shot, I decided to try their classic 1/4 lb burger. Overall, the burger wasn't bad and will definitely satisfy you if you are hungry and craving a burger. The fries, which were well-peppered, weren't bad either. Overall, it wasn't bad, and works in a pinch, but is a bit overpriced at $10 for a burger and fries.

Tasty burger and quick service. Almost had to take a bath afterwards...that's how you know it's good.

Best burgers in Austin. The crew from the show swarmed the place and everyone had a great meal. Fried pickles were delicious and the burger was perfect.

I love the proximity yo the conference center as i was attending SXSW Edu. The burger and fries were reasonably priced and hit the spot and allowed for an outside stroll between sessions.

Solid burger spot! Burger was cooked perfectly and had fresh toppings. The fries were hot, crispy and well seasoned. Fast friendly service. Ordered thru grub hub and it was ready right after I arrived. Plenty of outdoor seating and they play good jams.

We knowingly made the mistake of sitting in a reserved seating area, and Josh kindly approached us and asked us to move. Despite our mistake, he was incredibly gracious, patient, and understanding. He and his staff even allowed us to finish our food before moving and went above and beyond by treating us to dessert afterward. We were the ones in the wrong, and Josh and his team had every reason to handle the situation differently. Instead, they treated us with kindness, respect, and genuine hospitality. I really appreciate Josh's understanding and willingness to look past our mistake. It's a great reflection of his character, leadership, and the level of customer service at Terry Black's.

I really enjoyed the cream corn, the bite on the greens beans were perfect; although I prefer a little more seasoning. The pork ribs also had a great bite and crust, 8/10. The brisket was good, I just prefer my brisket a little more moist, 6.5/10. Overall I would come back!!

We sat at the bar, and I believe his name was Darby. He was serving us and mentioned that he had been working there for 12 years. He suggested a few local brews and recommended the three-piece chicken combo with two sides. We went with the mac and cheese and fried green tomatoes, and everything was delicious! All of the food was fantastic, but the customer service was what really stood out. Darby was great, and the whole experience was awesome. Definitely glad we stopped in!

On our way to Dallas two Fridays ago, my cousin and I were craving Southern fried chicken. I was…read morereminiscing about some memorable fried chicken I had in Tennessee, so we decided to stop in Austin and finally see what makes Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken so "world famous." We started with the fried green tomatoes. They didn't quite beat the unforgettable ones from The Front Porch Cafe at Dollywood, but they were still tasty and we happily finished them. I ordered the 2-piece dark meat while my cousin got the 2-piece white meat, both with baked beans, slaw, and white bread. The baked beans and slaw were both satisfyingly delicious. When my plate arrived with a thigh and two legs, I thought I had ordered wrong! Our wonderful server, Kamber, explained that the legs were especially small that day, so they have to serve two instead. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and delicious, and I loved learning they use peanut oil. The fresh, natural quality definitely came through. And placing the white bread underneath the chicken? Brilliant--it soaks up the extra oil! Service was fast, friendly, and efficient even though it was a busy Friday lunch hour. Amber was great about answering our questions and regularly checked up on us. She even introduced us to their homemade Chess pie--a classic rich southern custard dessert pie--which we were too full to try this time, next time for sure. We'll be back, especially since there's another location in San Antonio. Next visit, I'm coming hungry for the fried okra, mac & cheese, and seasoned fries! Just wish they also have corn on the cob and corn bread as other sides options. Southern fried chicken craving: officially satisfied.

I'm a girl who prefers no pickles on burgers so that's my own bias but even my partner stated he felt the burger was very pickle forward. The waygu beef was suppose to be star, especially at the price point for this ($40 for two burgers, a diet coke, and a shared order of beast fried), and it simply wasn't. Both the burger and fries were well cooked but my feedback is slapping what seems to be sliced cheese that will only melt to the top layer of fries and leave the rest without any toppings feels like a missed opportunity. It makes it harder even grab fries because they are conjoined together by the cheese. I like consistency in each bite, once the top layer of fries was gone they were just plain Jane fries. I think if the burger had some crunchy / crispy to just break up all the soft textures that would be nice as well. Like subbing the grilled jalepenos for raw ones. I can't say I'd go out of my way for this spot again with other competitors like Buddy's being closer and less pricey but it was still a well cooked burger. But if you like pickles, this is the place for you! It's bar/ high top dining only so definitely a casual, quick bite stop.

We knew that Austin is a foodie city and it didn't disappoint in the slightest in hitting all those food types that we were wanting to try. We enthusiastically marked off "Mexican" by coming to Taqueria De Diez. It wasn't in our bookmarks to try. I believe we came across it in a Google search or a Yelp search and we're impressed with the review score and decided to go check it out. It didn't disappoint at all. The review score average definitely held up. We got tacos here. I got three Asada tacos and I have to say that these tacos are the best I have had in recent memory. And I am all about tacos. I mean I LOVE tacos so that is saying a lot as I am such a snob with Mexican food. I can say with quite a bit of confidence... and this is even a bigger statement... these tacos may very well be the best I have EVER had. Now, I know that's saying a lot but they were so, so good. Months later from our dining experience there I am still thinking about this place. So if I could give more than five stars I most certainly would. Sometimes the no frills restaurants are the best and that is kind of what's going on here. It somewhat arranged with placing your order a tad bit like a cafeteria (but not an actual cafeteria). You place your food order and then wait for it at the end. Lots of customers take their orders to go but there is spots where you can dine in also. Steve and I did just that and we sat and enjoyed our tacos. So what makes me praise these tacos so much? I don't know for sure but the roll out of flavor on your tongue was just magical. The steak I imagine was prepared with perfection and got all of the tender, loving care it needed to be as amazing as it was. The rest of the toppings were great too as well as the sauces and the taco sized tortillas were probably a likely suspect as well in their perfection. It was so perfect. Taco bliss indeed. I long for these tacos again and if we are even somewhat close to Austin seeking this place out will be a no brainer for us.

It's actually considered a "reverse speakeasy" with a gorgous bar with a disco ball in the front, and mouthwatering food in the back. As everything in De Diez are made completely from scratch (including the tortillas), prices are very, very, fair. Service is fast and simple, your food is made in front of you by very friendly workers

For example (see picture)- my dad who is far from vegan or vegetarian tried the Caesar salad and Jr Burger today with a milkshake. He also had some of my brisket burger. Words out of his mouth I never thought I'd hear: "if you put this brisket next to Salt Lick, I wouldn't know the difference! The burger tastes even better than a 'normal burger' and Caesar salad out of this world. Are you sure this is actually vegan???" Then he went on to say, "If I had this place where I lived, I'd come here 2-3 times a week to eat." This is coming from someone who thought vegan food wasn't great. I'm telling you- the world's biggest critic loved it today. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. So- vegans, vegetarians, people allergic to dairy, and omnivores....this is for ALL of you.

First walking in I was greeted by the staff and they were so welcoming and sweet. We got offered a cookie while ordering, which definitely sweetened the deal for me. The staff answered all of our questions and even let us try some of the items as we were in between the Mac n cheese with brisket or not. First off, the bbq brisket is CRAZY good! It's made from mushroom and cooked so well. I got the brisket with Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was very creamy, but I would not say cheesy. I really liked the mac n cheese, even though I usually do not gravitate towards it. My favorite item other than the brisket would be the onion rings. It was savory and rich, and has a great crunch to it. I recommend getting it with the ranch, but there is also an option for bbq sauce. We also got the Carne Asada Steak Quesadilla (weekly item) and a Jr. Mission Burger. It was good to try but when compared to the brisket and onion rings, it ranks lower on my list. The items did not stand out to me, but were a decent choice. Overall, I would definitely come back and try their other items on the menu. Loved the team, they definitely made the experience for me!
