So I'm a vegetarian- of course I love this place. Hands down the best comfort vegan food in the country (and I've lived all over). You'd never know it has no animal products in it. 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. No joke. read more

Wow! Did not expect how good this place was. I have always passed by this place and over looked it. Definitely wished I tried sooner. 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! read more

It's been a while since we've been back here and since then, they've moved and this is their SECOND, new location. Whoa! I studied their website before we went as a review session and they have a section with ingredients and options for food allergies and special diets. I got there prepared and the owner was there and I found out that website hasn't been updated in about 2 years. Many things have changed, but not their website. Our go-to Meati Sandwich is no longer on the menu. But I must say I love the new place. Bold, clean, awesome. Other than that, not too much has changed; they still have a lot of mouthwatering items on the menu... and my family can only eat one burger on the menu. We're allium-free vegetarians and there's alliums in sauces and certain proteins used. Thankfully, we were speaking to one of the co-owners and he was super helpful and patient with us, even looking up ingredients and letting us double check. He is aware of the Jain diet. They also have a kids menu and we actually ordered off of one for the first time for the kids (just a simplified version of the regular burgers), We ended up ordering: MISSION BURGER ($16.95): a classic burger with 2 Impossible patties. Having said that, the patties were super thin and smooshed flat. The guys got this burger. Took out onions and subbed out the house sauce with ketchup and mustard. JR MISSION BURGER ($12.95): same as the regular with only 1 of the smooshed impossible patties. My sister and I got this. A very good burger and it's such a nostalgic feeling eating a burger (that I didn't make myself for once). The burger was perfectly filling but I could definitely also eat a regular Mission with no issues since the patties are smooshed down. KIDS' CHEESEBURGER W/ FRIES (1 with a gluten-free bun), both $11.99 so no additional cost for GF: both my kids got this with nothing added in other than cheese and the smooshed impossible patty. The saddest looking burgers BUT they ate it! The gluten-free bun is a bit... flattened, but my kid ate half of it there and finished it on the car ride out of Austin. Then asked for another one. In fact, he's still asking for another one and it's been almost 2 weeks. My other kid (picky, no allergies) likes it as well, but didn't finish and not as much as her brother. But she definitely loved the fries. SMALL FRIES ($3.50): almost every order of burgers came with a side of fries. These are perfect, stayed delicious, and were perfectly seasoned. If you are gluten-sensitive or have a wheat allergy, do know they use a shared fryer for ALL their fried items. My kid with the food allergies couldn't eat them, just to be safe. COOKIES AND CREAM MILKSHAKE ($11.95): This is made with their soft serve and regular Oreo cookies. SO GOOD. My daughter and my vegan sister got one each. Not too sweet, hit the spot perfectly. I would like to suggest they offer a gluten-free version made with GF Oreos if they can figure out how to significantly eliminate cross contamination... or just use only GF Oreos. VANILLA SOFT SERVE ($3.99): fun fact - these are lentil protein based! Got this for my kid with the food allergies (he's allergic to wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, avocado, pineapple, kiwi) who prefers real dairy and he ate almost the entire cup! It's a pretty hefty serving. I had a taste and it's pretty good. Very close to the dairy version. We were thrilled with our visit. Everything tasted great! I loved how there isn't an additional cost for a gluten free bun (it's a little wonky shaped... irregularly flattened on top). My food allergy kid asked me to make him a burger because he misses the one he got here and he specifically requested for buns with a round top so it's apparently a sore spot with him. I also love how I could actually talk to someone and make well informed decisions on what we could order... and we ordered everything we could have (aside from desserts). I'm a bit sad Mission Burger is so far away, but I guess it just means we'll have to stop by Austin when we're in Texas again. Thank you for another amazing experience! read more

So, first - the food is everything I have wanted in my plant-based diet. Everything on the menu is available for me, and the Mission Burger _was_ the right choice! For the first time in years, my wife and I shared a shake and brisket-cheese fries. Yay! The staff was amazing - super nice, super helpful, and just super. Clean, well-lit and easy to enjoy a meal here. Will come here again and again, and mention to all my Vegan friends. Thank you! read more

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. read more

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. read more

My BFF and I came here looking for Spin Burger and realized this location had moved in. Sad I didn't get a burger frisbee, but this was a great substitute. FREE Chocolate Chip Cookie - The cookies are definitely great--no crazy standout, but they had a distinct oat flavor. I can imagine sea salt would enhance the flavor even more. I love chocolate chip, though... and FREE is the best seasoning. Mushroom Truffle - We agreed to split these burgers 50/50, and bro zoned out while eating; I got like 1/4 of it. Hopefully that emphasizes how much he enjoyed this burger. The first thing I noticed was that the patty wasn't as thick. I do like their burgers and how they're medium-rare, but this one was much more packed with mushrooms, per the burger style. If it had the B&B patty, this would've been my favorite. Hold up--I did not know this was an Impossible patty. Not bad, but it does explain the difference in flavor. Still, it paired exceptionally well with the mushrooms. Black & Blue - Very deep flavors. I didn't like it as much as the Mushroom Truffle. In fact, I felt like this was way too saucy. The blue cheese didn't hold the show as much as the rest of the burger, and I'm a sucker for blue cheese. Like, inject Penicillin straight into my soul; obsessed. Anyways, it was just okay. My BFF and I agreed that these burgers are TENDER. Like, "didn't have to chew; it was a soft slush in my mouth" tender. Anyways, the sauce on both of these was on point--the first bite was a very obvious banger of flavors. Okay. I lied; these are ALL Impossible patties. Instantly changed the game because these were very well executed. On the way out, one of the workers (perhaps the owner) asked for our feedback. Apparently, many of these burgers are new menu items, and we got to hear a bit of their backstory (and got another FREE cookie). Some of the loveliest people I've met. I really love what they're doing here, and I'm glad they moved just 15 minutes away from our location. Wishing them the best! read more

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! read more

We returned to Mission Burger for the second time today because everything we had the first visit was 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 read more

Mission Burger - Their milkshakes are made with lentil ice cream!! Who would've thought?!!! They are INCREDIBLE!! - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

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!!! read more

Amazing burgers all three times we went - people running it are cool too. Will be back.

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. read more

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! read 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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Mission Burger - Burger, fries and beer. - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

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. read more

Walked in and walked out after seeing no actual beef options. You can't have a burger restaurant without actual beef. Impossible burgers are terrible for your health. They have more trans fats that actual beef. People do your research. You maybe saving cattle, but you're not saving yourself! I'm giving it a 2 star review because the cashier was nice enough to cover the menu and offered us a free chocolate chip cookie. read more

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! read more

Twas first time coming by here! Welcome by a friendly staff and she gave us a cookie !! Delicious vegan cookie with crispy outside and subtly soft inside! While we were looking at the menu, the friendly lady explained which ones are good and popular ones so we took her recommendations! The mission burger is apparently go to one if you don't know what to get as it's the most popular one there! My wife got it and it was very delicious! You put the info into kiosk and you can accommodate the toppings like grill onions instead of raw one etc! I like their style! I got a chicken bacon one and it was good but I prefer mission burger for me! Also we got a box of garlic fries and the lady gave us sweet garlic mustard sauce! Quite yummy combo! Overall, we had a great experience and definitely love to be back here! Keep up the good and healthy work! Cheers read more

Loved the outdoor ambiance and outdoor seating too. Cozy but some sun options. read more

This place is awesome! A lot of places now have a veggie or vegan burger option on the menu, and they're just fine. I didn't realize this place is ALL vegan, so they really know how to do the burger right and make you not miss a beef burger. That's big for me as someone who recently started eating plant based. The service was also really great. Michael was kind and nice to talk to, and offered me help as a first time customer. They also give you a free chocolate chip cookie when you order! The burger was a classic super messy very filling double cheeseburger. The onion rings were cooked perfectly. The meal + tip was actually pretty pricy. Almost $30, which didn't include a drink because you have to buy one from the convenience store side. Overall, I recommend trying this place and bringing non-vegans too. They won't be disappointed! The menu has a lot of variety too, so there is a lot to try. I'll be back for sure. read more

Absolutely delicious! We honestly ended up here by accident lol! We were actually looking for açaí bowls but were so glad we found this place instead. The guys were super welcoming and amazing. As soon as we walked in, they offered us free, soft, warm chocolate chip cookies and they were so good! The place was also spotless, which we really appreciated. We loved the suggestions they gave. We wanted to share a plate, and they recommended the vegan BBQ. That's when we realized we were at an all-vegan restaurant! I was so excited! I've never had vegan BBQ before, and my hubby is a meat eater, so we almost never go to vegan spots together. I usually go alone... but this time, he actually said he wants to come back! That's how good the food was. It was also super easy to place our order, and we never felt rushed. We'll definitely be coming back next time we're each getting our own plate! I didn't get a chance to take a photo of our food but it was just too good! read more

Friendly staff and tons of options for delicious vegan food! (Including like the only vegan soft serve in town)

The food was extremely good but the price is just way too high. I only got a burger and fries, a very good burger and fries, but it also very expensive burger and fries at $25. The service was very good everyone was very friendly zero complaints. The ambience was okay but I went on the first day and they probably just haven't finished decorating yet so I'll still say it was good. It is going to stay a three-star review because I ain't paying $25 for only a burger and fries, no drink. I have told my friends, and other people, that the place is good but too expensive, so, people looking at these reviews, whether you are another reviewer or the person who owns the place keep it in mind. read more

For my first visit, I had the Smoked Brisket Burger for dinner. For my second visit, I had the Best Ever Breakfast Burrito. Both were outstanding and worth the price. Service is friendly and attentive. I like the variety of indoor and outdoor seating. The regular flow of appreciative patrons makes for a pleasant atmosphere. I like how the space is shared with Barleybean, which I really enjoyed their coffee. They have 20 drafts of mostly local craft beers covering a full range of styles. Additionally, there are snacks and canned beverages for sale. read more

Everything here is vegetarian or vegan, but the menu has much to offer. The Reuben is HUGE and certainly satisfied my craving for that type sandwich (which I haven't had for years). The burgers are really good, too. The patties are thin, which is why a "double meat" burger is not so big you can't eat it all. The restaurant is inside of a convenience store, so you can buy your chips -- if you prefer them over fries -- and sodas or beer right there. My meal was very tasty and I'll definitely go back. read more

I cannot recommend the Smoked Brisket Burger enough!!! It was so good and well deserved. I haven't had a great burger in a while so this really hit the spot! And the best part was that it was extremely filling, to the point that I didn't even need the fries. It is surely a must-have!! Did I mention that this place is 100% plant-based. So maybe your friends aren't vegan, and that's ok :) bring your omni friends too and let them try this and other masterpieces on this menu, because trust me, they will be satisfied. The brisket is also made from lion's mane mushrooms, which is known to increase focus and energy. You can look it up yourselves!!
