    Smash Burger
    Robert A.

    So glad they opened a brick and mortar for this part of their business. Don't pass this up whether its a burger from here or their BBQ. Burger was full of flavor, juicy and worth every calorie. Will absolutely be back to try all of the burgers on the menu, the burger in the pic is smash burger. Cooked and seasoned to perfection.

    Moreno Burger recently joined inKind, so I decided to give them a try. I had the Smoked Burger since I thought that was a unique option. It was good, but looking around at everyone's El Jefe Smash Burgers, I think I chose wrong. Will need to go back and get that as it looked awesome. Took a bit of time to get my burger, so plan for a bit of a wait.

    Went here on a Wednesday night and it was delicious! Service is order at the counter ( or online).there are plenty of dining tables inside and one large picnic style table with an umbrella for shade outside. Each table offers napkins, ketchup plus salt and pepper. I ordered their cheeseburger and sweet potato fries and my partner got the brisket burger. Both burgers were delicious and very filling. If I'm being honest, his- the brisket burger was slightly better than just the cheeseburger due to the extra thick cut of brisket. The fries were very good too but could've benefited from some extra salt and specialty aioli or sauce. They were just a bit plain. Service was fast and fairly friendly. Would definitely come back and try another burger

    El jefe
    Amber A.

    Wow what an amazing burger. Got the el jefe which is as big as my head. Fortunately, I hadn't eaten breakfast. Smash patties, guacamole, bacon, pico and an egg - what a feast. The beef tallow curly fries are perfectly crispy. Yum, I'll be back.

    We've been on a mission to explore Austin's burger scene recently, and today we ended up at Moreno Burger Co on the South side. Moreno is first a BBQ spot (and a damn good one at that), and they recently started a Burger exclusive off-shoot where they cook up both sloppy salty smash burgers as well as decadent half-pound brisket burgers. Both options are awesome, and hell yea to two different types of tallow fried fries! Scoring was as follows: Presentation - 3/5 Quality - 4/5 Taste - 4/5 Overall - 4/5 They are open Wednesday - Sunday, which I believe allows them to focus and maintain high quality (ingredients, service, etc.). Speaking of service, the staff was incredible when we visited! Super friendly and helpful. It is counter service, but they did go above and beyond. Location is alright... just off busy Menchaca, but at least it's accessible! The only major feedback we had was as follows: - Could have had a better more substantial bun. - Would have enjoyed a "special sauce" on it! - Presentation could overall have been cleaner - Maybe reduce the size of the half pound patty a touch. LOT of meat! - Fries could have been a little warmer when they arrived. Anyhow, thanks again Moreno!

    Texas Heat Smash Burger and Gouda Mac

    Slap your mama good sandwich and burger! I've been meaning to try this place and swung by before trivia a while back. I just did a to go order, so I didn't get to stay for the full vibey experience, but the place is nice enough and easy to get to, the service was nice and fast, and I would definitely recommend either the Texas Heat Smash Burger or Brisket Philly. The fries and the gouda mac were alright. Nothing special with the fries and the gouda mac was giving school cafeteria. However, as someone who makes phillys at home, I would definitely say this one was worth it. This was a BIG sandwich that you just have to dive into and prepare to get a little messy. It's so worth it. The burger was meaty and spicy and just everything I'm looking for in a good smash burger.

    Moreno Burger is basically the old Moreno BBQ location , it just turned into their burger and sandwich location ( Moreno BBQ moved to Southpark Meadows). This is my wife and my favorite burger, and we've had many in Austin . Firstly, your burger is cooked to order, so order it and have a sit . The burgers are seasoned well and tasty. We order the burger without any ketchup or mustard as we like the flavor of how it's prepared. Always made perfectly. The fries are great , crispy and well seasoned . If you are looking for a great lunch , this is your place- fyi not open on Mon- Wed.

    Rated in Texas Monthlys top 100, I see why. Came here after leaving Leroys BBQ. It's only 3 minute drive from there. Boy am I glad our group of 4 did! Parking- was easy. We arrived on a Friday afternoon. The place is not too big, so even a small crowd makes it look full. We must have hit the jackpot because there was zero line, and we were able to order immediately, yasss! There is inside and outside seating. And it was clearing out as went to sit, so we were able to locate seats easily. Service- easy breezy. We were served and seated immediately with our food. Staff were friendly. I think we even got some free samples while in line as well. Food- we basically ordered 4 meats and 4 sides total. We did this so we could try more of there menu. I'm so glad we did it this way. The brisket/sausage was juicy and tender. The gouda mac & cheese (while not my preference of preparation) was pretty yum! Left stuffed. I was VERY tempted to order the brisket grilled cheese, but decided to be a good girl and not over do it. The place has bbq, burgers and breakfast tacos, what's not to like? Between the friendly service, really good BBQ, and the zero wait time, this was easily a highlight for me. Definitely recommend!

    The new burger only restaurant is so much better and efficient for the burger lovers who do not want to be stuck in line for BBQ! Fantastic smashed burgers, great service, and casual ambiance with ample of parking. The interior can be warm when there are lots of customers.

    Smashburger with the bun

    I had been meaning to try the Hamburger Happy Hour, which takes place on Thursday and Friday 3pm - 6pm, but I never made it. I didn't want to go alone. My brother in town visiting last week provided the perfect opportunity; he loves to try the "cattle" in Austin. I was particularly interested in the Smashburger; that is my favorite type of burger. I've tried making them myself but had never tried one at a restaurant. L The smashburger was smashing indeed! They cook it with embedded caramelized onions and pickles. So yummy, and the meat is piled high. Even the burger without the bun (I'm gluten free, so I don't eat bread) is filling. The happy hour includes a combo: burger, fries and drink. I don't usually get fries, but they make it worth your while because it's cheaper than just getting the burger: $15 for the combo vs. $18 for the burger alone. The fries were excellent as well: thick and slightly crispy, with just the right amount of salt. I ate the whole order, which is unusual for me. I felt guilty but knew I would burn the calories off the next day during my long run. I didn't have to eat dinner and wasn't hungry until the next day. They bring the food to the table pretty quickly, considering the number of people there also for the happy hour. In short, I was happy to have finally gone there for the happy hour. It won't be my last time. There is a choice of eating inside or outside on the patio. Either is fine with me!

    It's hard to live up to hype, but all I've heard is I have to try this smashburger. Holy smokes did it deliver! Best one in ATX that I've had (granted I haven't tried that many) - incredible. Also the gouda mac is probably the best I've had here. The whole menu looks fun and and I'd like to try more of it, but odds are I'll keep comin for the smashburger. Brisket taco and pulled pork tacos very solid. Only thing I will have to ding em for are the fries - not sure if it was just the batch as they were cooked perfectly, but wayyyy too much seasoning and too salty and I had to throw most away - that is something that doesn't happen very often (me throwing away fries). I'm the guy who will complain fries are terrible while shoveling them in my face like an elephant. So hopefully that was just an overzealous sprinkle with the seasoning. Love the location and the spot - really pumped that i found this joint and this goes on the list of places to take my friends/fam when they visit me (and a great excuse for me to come back for the burger)

    Brisket philly combo

    The food was good yet very messy. I got the brisket philly which was delicious but the queso made it difficult to eat so make sure you grab a fork and knife to help and plenty of napkins

    Smoked Burger
    Kjell S.

    I think I've already reviewed before. I honestly can't rate it differently. Every time I've been it's consistently a 5. I've always ordered the smoked burger. It's been amazing every single time. Service is always fast and friendly. Sometime between my last visit and this one, they lined the tables up picnic style inside. It's nice. FWIW my coworker normally orders a plate. His brisket looked amazing, as well as the sides. If you're in the area or willing to make a drive, this burger is killer.

What looked like a traditional milk toast dessert, was literally four pieces of stale bread, toasted and stacked on top of each other. that tasted freezer burnt with lots of sauce on top. No topping between each layer so it was not flavorful or tasty and all you could taste was a weird chemical flavor from the bread. Same thing with the ice cream, so freezer burnt that it tasted of chemicals, cardboard, and didn't even melt despite sitting on the plate for 15+ minutes. The Taro tea itself was fine with the crème brûlée topping, but the brown sugar Boba had the same chemical "going bad" flavor to it. It was super hard and bitter tasting instead of sweet. The soufflé pancakes were fine, but the ice cream was terrible on that too. It's hard to mess up Ice Cream, but somehow they managed.
