    Smoked Brisket burger
    Emily K.

    Highly recommend the Smoked Brisket burger here. I didn't read the full description when I placed an order, so I didn't know the brisket was not meat. Then I was pleasantly surprised that the brisket was actually made of mushrooms and beans, because the taste and texture was perfectly meat-y! The bbq sauce is also pretty good. Not too salty, but had just the right amount of smokiness to it.

    It was my first time here, and I couldn't be more impressed. The service was excellent. The person at the front was friendly and helpful, offering suggestions and giving me a cookie while I was ordering. 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.

    We went excited. We left estactic. We preordered online to pick up fries and a jr smoked brisket burger. When we arrived there was still seating available inside or on their patio. While we waited we got a warm cookie to nosh on while we checked out their selection of local baked goods! We were able to share the burger even though it was the single and we couldn't believe the smoky flavor and amazing texture of the brisket. Often sauces are just added on top, but this truly had a smoked all day flavor. We can't wait to go back and work through the whole menu. I can't say enough about how welcoming the staff was either - super kind. It's inside barley bean so you can also grab a vegan latte or a cocktail!

    We were greeted by the server behind the counter with a warm chocolate chip cookie-yum! Our Mission burger was accompanied by fries and onion rings. Food was all delicious. Seating area inside is small and we moved so the party of 3 behind us could sit together. Recommend this for anyone, not only those who eat vegan.

    Movie night with the family!!! After a nice trip to the movies with my kid, what better way to end the night than with a nice burger and fries. Decided to try Mission for the first time and we enjoyed it thoroughly. We were immediately greeted and offered a complimentary cookie. I went for the brisket burger. It had a nice flavor and was very filling. What's crazy about all of it is that, I didn't realize the menu was completely vegan until after I'd already ordered and ate. Just goes to show how good they make the food. They have a nice outdoor patio for dining in with some great lighting on their awning. If you're in the area, check them out!!!

    I got the crunch wrap and it was perfect and crispy! Staff is friendly and the ordering process is easy as ever. The setup makes it comfy to enjoy their menu and you even getter a buzzer letting you know your food is done.

    Rating: 2.4/5 [Ubereats Delivery] We have no idea what happened, but our second experience with Mission Burger was a total bust. Delivery took longer this time as well, which only added to the disappointment. The Mighty Reuben ($22.49): This is one of their top sellers and something I was genuinely excited to try. It's a NYC-style Reuben made with a 1/2 pound of BeHive seitan that's corned and cured for at least 48 hours, then layered with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Mission sauce on marble rye bread. In the UberEats photo, the seitan looked bright red, but what we got was pale pink--and tasted more like ham than corned beef. The marble rye was overly sour, and I wasn't a fan of the sauerkraut. Honestly, neither of us could even figure out what we were tasting. Classic Bacon Mushroom Melt Burger ($18.95): This comes with double Impossible patties, a double portion of bacon, mushrooms, American cheese, pickles, and extra cheese. Despite all that, it actually looked smaller than the Reuben. It's recommended for mushroom lovers, but they completely missed the mark--the mushrooms weren't browned at all and had zero earthy, umami flavor. They also failed to capture the bacon essence. This ended up being one of the worst burgers I've ever had. I couldn't even eat more than a quarter of it. This was such a stark contrast to our first time trying Mission Burger. I don't know what changed, but this experience honestly left us pretty scarred.

    Jr. Pastrami Burger
    Emily W.

    Ordered online and was ready in ten minutes! Pickup was quick and easy with friendly staff! Smallish parking lot, but had no troubles getting a spot when I went. It is located inside barley bean so you could sit down and enjoy your meal there if you wanted. I got a jr burger, which is the size of a regular burger (nothing junior about it!). Very flavorful and a good ratio balance of all the 'meats'. Not pictured, but still enjoyed, was their chocolate chip cookie! Perfect size IMO, suggest warming up in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to get it nice and gooey soft. Price wise it is on the expensive side; however if you are plant-based (like myself) the lemon may be worth the squeeze since there are not many other places like this in Austin. I did and will be back to try more!

    Service is a counter top service at a café called Barley beans so tight area but definitely a café. If you're running around during your day it's a quick stop. I wouldn't say it's a whole day just because the space is very limited but you do as well get to drink here. Food is delicious. I believe it is vegan even through desserts. Ambience is perfect. The guy is so considerate will input any information that you need from the restaurant as well when we walked in immediately got started with some cookies out of respect. I thought that was really cool from them so did hit the spot after having an adventurous day.

    We saw that this burger place had great reviews, so we wanted to see what all the hype was about. When we arrived, we noticed that there was hardly any parking around the area. So we literally had to wait to get a parking spot. Once one opened up we finally parked. When we arrived we were quickly greeted and since it was our first time the employee gave us a rundown of the menu and the too sellers. We ended up ordering the Steak Sandwich, the Caballero Burger, and an order of fries. It was pricey and ended up being $37 and that was with a military/first responder discount. The sandwich's do not come with fries or a drink. Plus if you want drinks, you need to order the drinks at the other register at the Barley Bean (they share the same area). I ordered a signature coke, a Beer, and a water, which ended up being around $15. So overall the total was around $52, which is a little much. The food came out quick and the food did taste decent, especially for a plant-based burger place. Don't know if I would give this place another try, but it was ok.

    Burger, fries and beer.

    The location was clean and nice looking. The staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered a Mission Burger with fries and an Electric Jellyfish. The beer was fine and a small amount for the price. Everything on the Mission Burger was great except the patties. The most important thing on a burger is the meat. This was without flavor and not properly cooked. Not browned. Could have used salt. I requested some and never received it. Fries were fresh and flavorful. Given the reviews I went there for a great burger. Didn't happen and I will not return. I regret that I didn't go to Inn-n-Out across the street or Dan's.

    Caballero burger and fries
    Kaneka R.

    I usually visit the one on Congress when I'm in town, but that location is closed. This was my first stop after landing in Austin, and sadly, I was disappointed with the food and service. I walked in, and people at the coffee side looked at me, but there was no greeting. I walk to the Mission Burger side and place my order on the tablet, and find a seat. This is one building shared by Mission Burger and Barley Bean coffee, and it wasn't the cleanest. Tables had food on them and crumbs on the bar table by the window, and it wasn't busy. My buzzer went off, and I walked to the counter to get my food, and the employee looked at me, but again, no greeting. The employees on Congress were always friendly, appeared to enjoy their job, and treated me to a free cookie. Well, not here. It was a really strange experience. I didn't feel welcomed at all. My Caballero was also lukewarm. I'm not sure how a freshly prepared burger can be lukewarm, but it was. The food was so-so. Nothing I would return back for. I was very disappointed, and I left an 18% tip since you pay before you get your food.

    This place truly is a bomb! I became vegetarian two years ago, and it was hard to find a good food vegetarian/vegan burgers. Mission burger hits the spot for sure! My husband and I ordered -mission burger with grilled onion -chicken bacon ranch sandwich -side of garlic fries All the items we got were amazing. The burgers were juicy and they were so flavorful! The staff here is awesome as well. She was so kind, as we walked in, she greeted us with a warm chocolate chip cookies. And she also explained the menu and recommendation very well to us as it was our first timing coming here. 10/10 recommended this place if you are looking for a good vegan burgers! Well if you are looking for a good burger in general! It's inside of the River City Market, so there are not lots of tables for sit down meal, but they pack everything in a paper bag so you can take it to go easily. Oh and the burger wrapper made it so easy to eat! It can get pretty messy to eat a burger, but their wrapper prevented my burger from disassembling completely! It's the little things that matter, if you know what I mean! Anyhow, if you are in the search of good burger, come to mission burger! You will not be disappointed!

We got one Austin roll ($22), volcano roll ($15), creamy spicy tan tan ramen ($20), teriyaki sesame tofu yakisoba ($20). I have had their sushi and yakisoba but tried their ramen for first time. I was impressed with their packaging. As you can see in picture, veggies and noodles box was on top and soup at bottom. The only thing I didn't like how noodles became very sticky because of how tight they were packed. So I got it as cold (because I live 30 mins away) and sticky. Ramen came with all the veggies like grilled Chinese broccoli, tofu, sweet corn, marinated shiitake mushrooms, red onions and negi. Yakisoba noodles had the Stir-fried noodles tossed with cabbage, scallion, carrot, marinated shiitake mushrooms, and fragrant negi in a savory house sauce. It was good if you like this type of noodles. Austin roll had Smoked tempeh, tempura tofu, jalapeño, pickles. And on the to Avocado, roasted garlic oil, tempura flakes, smoked paprika, teriyaki. Volcano roll was a deep fried roll which had spinach, avocado, sweet potato. On top: spicy mayo, sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, Caviart and tempura onion. I would say this is the best vegetarian sushi place I've found in Austin. So if you're in search, this wouldn't disappoint you.

Being a mail order customer isn't for the faint of wallet because it makes sense to order at least six cheeses at a time, and that's not a small amount of money. Trying to factor in the timing is also part of the experience. Some of their cheeses can be frozen, and some are recommended to not be, like the brie. They recommend consuming the cheeses within 7 days of opening. It's just my husband and me in the household, so finishing a whole package of cheese in a week's time could be daunting. Speaking of the brie, it wasn't my favorite of the selection I received, which was a curated collection of Lorie's from Shark Tank. When we first got the delivery Dear Hubby and I set up a charcuterie tray for ourselves as a late lunch / early dinner. So many wonderful tastes! It was a delightful experience to mix the cheeses with crackers, salamis, Mediterranean olives, and fruit / jam. The sweet chevre offering was divine. Might have been my favorite. We opened four of the cheeses to sample them and left two for later. It's been wonderful for me to have better vegan cheeses than what the local grocery stores tend to stock. Real flavor! Real creaminess! With the holidays approaching, I'm considering when to place another order to carry me through the time when having special cheese would add to the edible side of the season.

You visit a restaurant and you order via a kiosk and get your own beverages. Pretty soon, we'll be entering the doctor's office and drawing our own blood. But Fabrik? They take care of you like it's 1990 or something. I've never had a dining experience like this. For example, at one point, I went to the bathroom and left my crumpled up napkin on the table like some sort of barbarian. When I returned, the napkin was neatly folded and my silverware had been replaced. It was so shocking that I almost wanted to test it again. How many times would they fold it? Beyond the exceptional care by the staff, the food was absolutely divine. You can tell the chef planned every course with care and a knowledge of food I could only dream of obtaining. I had never been to a restaurant where you're served multiple small dishes over the course of two hours. I was honestly worried I'd leave still feeling hungry. I was wrong. So wrong. The last time I felt this full was Thanksgiving 2004 when my aunt accidentally made too many mashed potatoes. At one point during the Fabrik dining experience, I said out loud, "Oh my god," and then quickly remembered I was in a public setting. Every course was delicious. The bread, the pasta, the white bean dip, the banana miso mousse... IT''S ALL SO GOOD! If you're wondering, "Should I really spend this much money to eat?" the answer is yes. You should. Sell a kidney if you must. It doesn't have to be yours. Just sell a kidney.

    Dinner at Fabrik is more than just dinner, it's an experience. From the sleek interior perfect for…read morea small group or intimate night out, to the plating and delicate fusion of flavors in every dish, every aspect of our meal seemed meticulously thought out and perfectly executed by Fabrik's wife and husband team Je and Silas Wallerstein. I was lucky enough to snag a table for three during Fabrik's earlier timeslot (5:45 p.m.) on a Friday night. I've been dreaming of visiting Fabrik since it first opened in 2023, so when I received an email about the opening of Fabrik's new Tarrytown location, I knew this was my chance. Fabrik's tasting menu costs $105 a person, with an extra optional wine pairing for $65. We opted to purchase a bottle of bubbles instead of the wine pairing, as the pairing includes approximately three glasses of wine (too much for us). Each course is a special expression of in season produce and other ingredients. Fabrik tries to use local ingredients whenever possible. Fabrik's friendly staff explain the details of each course to your table as they're serving. My favorite savory dish is "black and yellow" which features shiitake mushroom cappelletti in a corn cream reminiscent of corn chowder, served alongside corn madeleines (the first savory expression of a madeleine I've ever seen). Another favorite is the "verdant" featuring scalloped potatoes with homemade cabbage and topped with an aromatic lemongrass hollandaise tableside. After telling friends about our visit to Fabrik, multiple people asked if I was full after a fully vegan meal. A resounding yes. Each plate is on the smaller end, which is necessary because there are eight courses. The last three courses are sweet, which is a delight for those of us with a sweet tooth. My favorite sweet course is the "open sesame" with banana miso mousse and roasted banana compote, served alongside a crunchy black sesame sable. This dish is topped with an extremely realistic "leaf" made solely of banana and sugar, showing the true artistry of this restaurant. Our meal ended with a delicate yuzu macaron topped with a butterfly, which was the perfect citrusy end to an otherwise equally superb meal. Each member of my group left with bellies full and dreams of our favorite courses. After visiting this unique spot, it's easy to see why Fabrik is Michelin recommended. This was maybe my favorite meal I've ever had in Austin. Fabrik's tasting menu changes seasonally, so we tried their "Summer" menu during our August visit. I hope to return for their winter dishes. Try Fabrik for a night to remember, if you can snag a reservation.

    Fry Let me tell you…read moreabout FTG. The little food truck in the back of a sweet-ass dive bar called Mama Dearest. Do you wanna know about the dive bar? You'll have to check out my other review. But just know it's filled with weird taxidermy and novelty items that are one of a kind. But I digress. Back to the food. I would like to tell you I tried everything on the menu as many times as I came here. But alas, only four or five things. Unfortunately, their pierogies are the best thing I've ever had. Not just in Austin, but ever. I am now desperately seeking pierogies that rival FTG's. It's not just the pierogies themselves... but the sauce, it would make angels sing. Every time I tried something new, my heart would long for the pierogies. I finally gave in to my desires and quit trying other new things. I think next time I go back I'm just going to ask strangers if I can have a bite of their food, so I can say I've tried everything. But until then, this review is for what I have tried. After the pierogies. My next favorite things in order. Fried chicken (perfectly crisp bites), jerk chicken (little spicy, not dry, perfect), chilli (so spicy), gnocchi. The cheesecake would technically rank after the pierogies, but because they're a dessert I don't wanna mess up the order here and confuse y'all. The two dudes that work this truck, are here EVERY time. I'm pretty sure the only days they take off is Mondays and Tuesdays. Tell them the girl from Kansas City with a big dog sent to you. Lastly. Know that you won't find this place overrun with college kids or snotty hipsters. Just regular people enjoying a good dive bar.

    Rating: 2.7/5 [Postmates delivery]…read more We were so excited to try FTG's food, especially given its high Yelp rating. Unfortunately, it ended up being extremely disappointing. The meats were unforgivably dry, though everything else was good. Steak & Zab ($22): The zab, a mix of green beans, mushrooms, and broccoli tossed in salsa macha with sabayon, was actually enjoyable. I liked the flavors, but it was a bit too creamy/saucy for my husband (likely due to the sabayon). The steak, however, was dry and very chewy. Asian Style Spare Ribs ($17): This came with a 1/3 rack of spare ribs, a Thai cabbage salad, and five-spice fried potatoes. The potatoes were fire, and the salad was solid. But again, the meat missed the mark--super dry for the most part. We tried dipping it in the sabayon and other sauces to add moisture, but it didn't help. The fish sauce glaze didn't come through either. The only redeeming quality was the generous portion size.
