    The Mad Dog and Chopped Cheese Dog
    Frances L.

    The best hot dogs we've had in Austin. Counter service was quick. The chopped cheese was delicious and just rich enough, not overly greasy. The Mad Dog had more tang to it with the sriracha and ketchup. The curry ketchup felt like rightly so the star of the show. I think what makes Mad Dogs great is the hot dog and bun are neutral to really let the toppings shine. Looking forward to going back!

    We were a little confused at first bc the building is somewhat off to the side but it is across from crystal works and Enfield nails in a small stand alone building. The interior is very casual and there is a large menu on the wall when you walk in. Then the counter has a screen for you to self place and order. The order process does ask for a tip at the end which is always odd to me when the process is self order. We were the only people in the restaurant for a few minutes and it still took quite a while for the food to come out. After about 30 minutes, or more, I asked if they had received our order and they said "oh yes sorry it's right here" which was pretty odd. Their self titled "Mad dog" is a pretty obvious knock off of yo-yos from Houston and ditty dog. It did not live up to our expectations. The dog comes with a curry ketchup which definitely had more curry flavor than ketchup. Even with the combination of cream cheese, crunchy onion, and the sauces, the hot dog only tastes like curry. I also ordered a smash burger which definitely had the look and taste of a classic smash burger but there were no onions. My friend's order also had no onions so I'm assuming they ran out? The french fries were a little cold but had a great crunch still. I didn't see any ketchup available for the fries but I thankfully used my friends smash sauce. I had high hopes for this place but the food, service, and experience overall was quite subpar.

    Ordered two elote dogs on uber eats and got whatever this is. I called into the store and it immediately hung up on me. Fantastic customer service. (sarcasm)

    Great specialty dogs, good late night place with friendly employees. The fries were fried to perfection and a perfect combination with the hot dogs. The seating is upstairs on a rooftop with plenty of space.

    This is not your typical hotdog or smothered fries. Headed to one place but ended up at mad dogs after my boyfriend decided that he wanted a hotdog. He searched and search online and came upon Mad dogs, which had a great review and we are just here to add to it. The experience was simple and yet amazing. The flavor was imp Actable and each bite was super yummy. He ordered the hotdog and I ordered the Smashburger fries. When you get food from restaurants, do you want to get it for the value of a dollar they are asking. They are not shy of giving you what you need for the cost of our food. There was very little interaction with the staffing, but they were present and available to assist with any questions. I love to see that this small business has joined with another business which is called midnight snack. The snacks look amazing and to die for. We were so full from mad dog we didn't order from midnight snack, but we are excited to know that they are open late. I'm sure one of these nights.

    We returned to Mission Burger for the second time today because everything we had the first visit…read morewas so delicious--and once again, they did not disappoint. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff truly make this place special. Huge shoutout to amazing team members Ariel and Emily for being so warm and kind. The chef even made our pup Zoloft a pup cup today, which was such a sweet gesture. The lovely woman who helped us during our last visit also gave Zoloft a pup cup, so they've consistently shown kindness to our little family. They even gave complimentary vegan cookies to guests when we arrived (not sure if it was a special promotion, but such a thoughtful touch!). And the ice cream... WOW. Made with lentils, and honestly some of the best ice cream we've ever had--rich, creamy, and unforgettable. Friendly staff, delicious food, thoughtful service, and creative plant-based treats. Mission Burger is a gem in Austin, and we'll absolutely be back again whenever we return to Austin

As for the food, I was amazed that it was all plant-based and made with high-quality ingredients. I ordered the Ruben, Steak Burger, and Lemon Pepper Chicken Sandwich. They were all great, but my personal favorite was the Lemon Pepper Chicken Sandwich.

    This burger spot is essentially just a food truck, but the food is solid, and the service is great…read more The food truck itself is nice and clean, and there's a big signage out front. There is some picnic bench seating if you care to eat there, but each order is ready to take home You can also find a menu and other information posted on the outside. The menu mostly offers burgers, but there are a couple other offerings like a cheesesteak, partner, etc. The staff were very friendly and precessional. I really appreciated that they double checked everything in our to-go bags against what we ordered just to make sure we had everything. Everything was bagged, and the orders had the individual order and special order requests written on top Everything tasted great. The burgers were classic burgers, slightly messy, but very flavorful. The fries weren't quite as crisp as I like, but they were seasoned well and tasty Some tips: Consider ordering online so you can have your meal ready when you arrive The burgers/entrees don't come with fries, so, consider ordering a couple fries to share. One order of fries is more than enough for 2 people to share. To do this just make your meal a combo on the ones you want to have fries. Combos also come with a drink, but it's not a fountain drink it's in cans which they also bag for you Cheers!!

    When I chose to eat here, I checked the reviews and there were way more positive reviews than…read morenegative, so I thought the odds were in my favor. The few negative reviews mentioned bland burgers, but the positive ones say these are the best burgers in town. I thought I couldn't be unlucky enough to be in the minority and receive bland burgers, but, boy, was I wrong! NO SEASONING IN THE PATTIES!! Not even salt? If they had just seasoned the patties like they seasoned their fries, my experience would be completely different. An easy 5 stars. But nope. A solid 2, only because of everything other than the patties. We came at around 8pm on a Saturday night and were the only customers, so maybe that should've been a sign. Also the lot felt kinda sketchy in the dark. Idk if I would have wanted to be there alone at night. Food was also ready in 10 minutes, like the guy told us. FRIES: Thick cut, well-seasoned, good. Looked like a steak seasoning on the fries. I liked it, but since they were thick, the center of the fries were bland, unfortunately. Maybe it would've been less noticeable if we ate them right away. Large serving though. My bf and I only got one combo and couldn't finish the fries with each of our burgers. The burgers are big, at 4 inches wide. THOUSAND ISLAND BURGER: I liked it at first because of the thousand island, but for the bites that didn't have it, I noticed that the patty didn't taste seasoned...like at all. I was shocked at how bland it was without the dressing. MUSHROOM BURGER: The mushrooms had no flavor, probably weren't seasoned at all. The burger, overall, was also very bland. Unseasoned patty here too. The ingredients felt fresh, but it was missing the flavor we were expecting. Really disappointing. They gave ketchup packets in the bag, but we didn't remember they were in there before finishing our burgers. It probably would've really helped, but the burgers shouldn't have needed it to be good.

    Was not pleased with the service at the beginning. The cashier's name was Blake I believe (he had a…read moreglowing pride hat) , and had an attitude with everyone that I was with and it looked the same for guests before us. When I went to order, he asked how many for the party, which I tried to respond with "it's going to be separate because we want to place a to-go order" I barely got any words out when he interrupted me and repeated his question with an attitude. I said the same thing but this time he let me finish and began taking my order. While he took my order he was also a little rude, interrupting me a couple times. After my friends placed their orders, they also came to me commenting on his rudeness. Aside from this experience, the food was great and the rest of the staff was great too. The space is great and offers lots of seating if you choose to dine in. I would come back in the future but just hope something gets done to improve customer service.

Ordering was a breeze and they even had our table set and ready for us by time we made it through the long line to cashier to order. Food was out in less than 10 minutes and sweet potatoes fries to share were out and at table in 2 min. Impressive since line was to end of the door on a Sunday. Plenty of seating . Note : they do validate parking for area next to restaurant since parking is at a premium .Our parking was $22 since we originally were dining down the street. All bread is baked in house and burgers were done to perfection. They even support active military which I appreciate. Worth a stop!
