    Good burger on a best in Texas list it's in a bowling alley which makes it cool I think the combination of the burger and bowling makes it a fun stop

    The Dude Burger
    Lori H.

    OH MY GOODNESS! There is a hidden gem inside the Highland Lanes bowling alley. LEBOWSKI's Grill is a hole in the wall, serving up one of the best burgers I've had in a while. I'm impressed with the quality of the food here. Food: The meal was definitely a guilty pleasure. I got "The Dude" a classic burger with fries or tater tots. I ordered my burger with everything on it, adding cheese and bacon. So why was it so great? Well, to start, the bun was soft and fluffy, the beef patty was cooked to perfection at a medium rare (seasoned well, juicy), and the toppings were just the right amount to balance the whole burger out. The fries were great, too. Service/Ambiance: The guy taking my order was nice. It's a pretty decent-sized bowling alley with plenty of seating. I did not bowl this time, but going inside only to eat was fine. I would definitely come back next time to bowl and eat here again.

    Been wanting to try this location for a while and did not disappoint! Burgers and sides were large delicious and flavorful. Frito pie burger and infusion with bacon were on point. Chili and cheese topping on the totes was worth the calories with delicious waffle cut fries as well. Staff was friendly and cranking out food as they were slammed with orders for good reason. It's in a bowling alley so don't expect fancy but def not needed with food this amazing.

    We made our 3rd trip here when we heard it got a lease extension to give the Frito Burger another try. As Shana points out the idea of a Frito Pie Burger is unique and had to be included in Finding Frito. We returned here as our first 2nd try since again it will possibly be closing soon and the previous time we went some other stuff happened to put a damper on the day. This time the bar area was closed, which was a bummer. Your ordered your beers from the front desk. That is weird but they did have Not your Fathers Root Beer which was good. We got the Frito Pie Burgers and fries and had to sit out in the main area. It was very busy, I was glad to see the bowling alley getting a ton of business. The grill was not busy at the time we went. So now to the differences from previous visit: They were faster this time, last time it took so long we thought we missed them calling our name. This one was much faster. But the burger wasn't as good. It was dryer and had less of everything, made it easier to eat for sure but just not as good. The fries were still good but some were getting cold fast. Overall this second visit kind of matches the first, they were better in some ways and a let down in others. Still overall worth the time.

    This no frills grill is located inside Highland Lanes and serves up a thick and juicy chicken sandwich. The friendly staff makes this even more of a gem!

    Inferno Burger with Bacon
    Jerry E.

    If you're looking for a damn good burger... Lebowski's Grill is not to be overlooked!! Came here for lunch and we're really impressed with the food presentation and all the flavors that went with it! Most can people can relate that food at a bowling alley good, greasy, delicious, aka Naughty Food!! And Lebowski's is all that and then some!! It's located inside of Highland Lanes bowling alley, which is cool because even though you're just there to eat lunch on your lunch break other people are enjoying their day by bowling at 11:00 a.m. in the daytime. It's cool because it's a feeling of nostalgia from our childhood, all the smells of a bowling alley, amf the clacking of pins and people chattering in the background. Aside from the food, it's an entire experience!

    Inferno Burger. So good! @coreyd123 on insta

    Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a burger from Lebowski's Grill inside Highland Lanes bowling alley. I had the inferno burger with bacon and it was one of the best and juiciest burgers I've had in Austin. The tots were cooked to perfection. The service was fast and friendly. You order at the counter and they call your name on the loud speaker so you can play your game while you wait. The ambiance was vintage all the way. It does actually remind you of the bowling alley from the movie The Big Lebowski, which just happens to be my favorite movie. This is just a bonus because the burgers are so good that I'd come back anyway. I think I'll try the Donny next time, which is a deep fried, bacon wrapped hot dog covered with chili and queso. Yum!

    Bowling alley.
    James B.

    This is definitely a bowling alley. Old school. And this grill has the best food of any bowling alley I've been to. Not only that. The burger is probably the best burger in Austin. $9 for the basic burger makes it the best deal in town for the price. Friendly staff quick service.

    O.M.G! So freaking good!
    Bruce B.

    Holy crap, they have excellent burgers here! I don't even bowl, I just come here from time to time for a burger. If they can do this inside a bowling alley, then why can't all burgers be this good?

    Is their veggie burger & fries vegan friendly?

    Sierra: Thanks for asking but I'm an Infusion addict, a hard 180 from the vegan entries. Any of the guys up there can tell you, in detail, what you need to know though. Super-friendly staff!

I read the Yelp reviews before coming (more on this later). I only had the traditional bahn mi with three kinds of pork, including sliced and pate. The bahn mi was as it should be, a thinner sandwich bread, similar to a baguette but skinnier, with lightly pickled daikon and carrot, a cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeno. It was delicious. Which brings me to the Yelp reviews. A number of them are complaining that the bread isn't as large as a traditional French baguette. This is because a bahn mi doesn't traditionally have a larger sized baguette. A traditional bahn mi bread is inspired by a French baguette, because the sandwich is a fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisines, since the French colonized Vietnam and influenced some of their food and architecture. But it isn't traditionally as thick as a baguette, and is made of a mix of wheat and rice flour. The owner happened to be typing on his laptop and I talked to him about the bread. It is made in house, by him. It is made thin, but doesn't have rice flour. I was frankly grateful that it wasn't a normal sized baguette, because that would have scraped up my mouth and required having a lot more toppings to balance the ingredients with the bread, making a much larger sandwich than I would want to eat. In the US, a restaurant owner making a bahn mi often faces a choice between making their own bread in house, having a local bakery make it for them, or buying from a bakery that already makes French baguettes. So what people are used to eating isn't authentic, but is a cost-saving tradeoff made by using a regular French baguette, usually the cheapest of the options. So before you complain about the shape and size of the bread, please understand that this is closer to the real deal than you are used to and not a defect of the bahn mi bread served in this restaurant, despite being named "Baguette House". The rest of the sandwich is open to criticism and I agree with some that the pickled veg could have used more vinegar, but the bread was well-made, crunchy crispy outside, with a soft interior. Delish.

The bread was perfectly toasted, the ingredients tasted high-quality, and every bite was packed with flavor.
