Austin's own burgers! Eat local! This burger chain has been serving the local Weird Austin community for decades and decades. The architecture of these stands are usually pretty amazing. This one is nothing spectacular. Others have daring designs with wild angles and unnecessary architectural flourishes that make the burger taste extra. This P Terry isn't the typical location- is located right next to University of Texas campus, in a line with Chick-Fil-A and Cane's Chicken. It's the only burger joint of the three, and the cheapest option of the three. I showed up here on a fall saturday night, and the line was out the door! Fortunately, this burger stand is used to the crowds, and was able to cook up burgers and fries quickly and efficiently! The burgers are small, but inexpensive. The fries are rather understated. Just potatoes and salt, like a rough cut fry. The restaurants are bustling with people, and yet they managed to keep the place clean. Nom! They have radical sunglasses that are always a hot prize. Score you a pair if they have them- you'll be the coolest burger eater on your block. read more

This location does not represent P Terry's that I know in love. I hate to leave a three star review, but the truth is the truth. The story needs a lot of help. I get into the drive to in the past and it seemed to be pretty good but today, I decided to eat inside the restaurant and that was a huge mistake. I'm not gonna name manager's name, but he was taking orders and he just really wasn't professional at all. I told him a double cheeseburger no lettuce and tomato. Add bacon guess what the food showed up lettuce, tomato and bacon. I brought it up to his attention and he said I repeated the order and this is what you ordered. I was like OK man don't worry about it. The tables were dirty they haven't been wiped off. The soda machine doesn't taste like it has any type of syrup in it whatsoever. The ketchup dispatcher was completely out. No one seemed to care that this store was just simply a mess. Come on P Terrys you guys do great at all your locations so I'm not sure what's going on with this one. I know it's a high traffic location. Would it be close to the school but still you guys gotta do a better job. I gave three stars only because the food tastes good. The store needs a lot of help. I hope management reads this review and the other bad reviews and actually tries to make this location better. read more

This location has consistently poor staffing and management during the evening and overnight hours (approximately 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM). Multiple visits have shown a clear lack of professionalism. Employees, including members of management, openly speak negatively about customers in Spanish, which is inappropriate and unprofessional in any customer-service environment. On Friday evenings, when customer volume is already low, service is still slow and disorganized. When the restaurant transitions from dinner to breakfast service, there is little to no communication with customers. Orders are delayed without explanation, and customers are left standing and waiting with no acknowledgment or updates. Similar complaints from other customers mention poor communication, rude or dismissive staff attitudes, long wait times, and inconsistent service quality, particularly during late hours. These issues appear to be ongoing rather than isolated incidents read more

Today was the last straw. The drive-thru employee handed me my food, shut the window, and walked away. I stayed parked because I needed to ask for one more thing I forgot. She clearly saw me still sitting there and chose to ignore me. No "Did you need anything else?" No check-in. Nothing. The cook eventually had to come to the window to help me...something that never should have been necessary. Forgetting to ask for something should not be a humiliating experience. Chick-fil-A would never do this. They stay attentive, they check back, and they help, even when customers forget something. That's basic service. This location feels passive-aggressive, unwelcoming, and oddly irritated by the very people keeping it in business. That's a management issue, not a customer issue. Why be mad at me? I'm a repeat customer who orders the same SIMPLE STUFF EVERY TIME. I've tried. I wrote another review before this. Same mess, no change. Now I get it. If management reads this, talk to your team but realize you have lost a repeat customer. Kindness, accuracy, and basic attentiveness are not optional. They're the business. No more messing up my orders when the place is nearly empty, no more overcharging me half of the time for the SAME order depending on who's working that day, no more being a repeat customer that seems to annoy the staff instead of being appreciated for repeat business. read more

I came to this location with 25 other people -- unannounced -- and they did a fabulous job of getting everything cooked and out to us, despite that two of their employees were on lunch breaks. Very impressive. Though you can have your burger pretty much any way you want it, they come stock with "special sauce" a' la In and Out Burger (and McDonald's, though most people tend to conveniently forget the fact that McDonald's set that bar way back when). It's a decent burger. Small (about the same size as a McDonald's cheeseburger). Nicely toasted bun. Good flavor, but nothing memorable. The fries, which are the 'fresh cut' variety, are exceptional. Nicely crisp. Not greasy at all. My main complaint with this joint is the homeless dude who homesteaded the men's restroom for half an hour, bathing himself and basically using the place as his personal spa. Not cool. People fall on hard times. Some businesses allow them to come in and wash up. Fine. When it interferes with the customers being able to wash their hands, it's overboard. Not only did he impede that, but he also started yelling at some of the youngsters in our party. I corrected him, but again, not cool. All the while, the employees acted as if this was normal, and that we should just let this guy do what he does. Nope. We chose to eat lunch (and pay for it) at P. Terry's -- not the Salvation Army. While the guy never asked for a thing (I'd have bought him a burger), his behavior and inconsiderate amount of time in the bathroom was unacceptable. And that is the responsibility of the manager on duty, who was derelict in his/her duty. Indeed, this is Austin, where things are 'weird' and people tend to have a love fest for those who are down on their luck (though not that much love, else they'd rent the guy a studio apartment), allowing someone to come into a business and act in such a way is not good. If you eat here, you'll have a decent meal. But wash your hands and go to the bathroom beforehand. Also, don't be surprised if you have unexpected company at your table. read more

When you think of P. Terry's you'd think of the acclaimed fast food chain that has made its way throughout Austin and other parts of Texas. However, this P. Terry's in particular is a deviation from the high standard one would hold for the franchise. Not only is there no microphone for the service worker calling order numbers so that customers can't hear their order, there was no ketchup in a burger place, and the orders were taking an hour+ to come out . Normally for reviews I would leave a picture of the food, but it's been over an hour and I never got the food. Edit: Not sure how to write a response to a review so I'll post my response to P. Terry's here. My friends and I placed an order on September 21 at 10:30pm and eventually got our order over an hour after 11:30pm. While I'm sure this is not the usual practice of P. Terry's, this was my experience and I have multiple friends who can corroborate it. On top of this, at this location and at that time the microphone was not working and we had to strain to hear our order. I'm usually a fan of P. Terry's so this experience was not expected for me. read more

YUM! Been in and around Austin a few times for work in the past and always saw these P Terry restaurants around... finally tried them on my last visit... DEFINITELY WORTH IT! Very "In-n-Out" vibes, so if you like them, you'll enjoy P terrys. Reasonably priced as well. 2 combos for under $20! Unheard of today, when places like Whataburger or Wendy's push you closer to $30. Now here is to hoping they open more locations in Houston. read more

7/2025. Decent place to grab a double cheeseburger, fries and an IBC root beer. Service fluctuated from okay to not so friendly. No ambiance really--burger joint. read more

Fast fresh and good as typical for the beer guys. Solid burgers, whatever you'd like on them. I'm not so big on the fries but I just get more burger and extra bacon skip fries! read more

P. Terry's has consistently produced excellent results in all the foods I have ordered here. Drinks, breakfast items, all the burger, and especially love their banana bread! oh, and the breakfast sandwich, and their shakes!! Their employees are friendly, fast and always ready to go the extra mile for you. just LOVE this busines!! read more

Here at a conference. Told by a local to try it and we were not disappointed! We are all fans of in n out and this place some thought was better. I had a cheeseburger with bacon and the fries! OMG it was like when you cut fresh potato's at home to make fries. I had a Mexican vanilla shake as well. I hope they expand to the Vegas area. read more

P. Terry's Burger Stand - Cheeseburger and homemade fresh French fries - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

I love the Austin experience. I can't get this anywhere else. they source their food from healthy places

Clean and convenient P.Terrys that right by campus. The burgers are delicious and are extremely reasonably priced. The fries are some of the best fast food fried but you HAVE to eat them immediately. They are best when consumed fresh. The service is relatively fast but the drive thru can be a little slow when busy. The nice thing about this location is that it is next to a chick fil an and a raising canes. So if you want a little bit from a few places it's easy to get. I actually got a P Terrys burger and went next door to chick fil a and got a chicken sandwich and put them together to make a super sandwich read more

P. Terry's Burger Stand - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Good food but if I wanted to wait 30 minutes for a burger, I'd go to a restaurant. This is not the first time either. it's super rude seeing multiple customers come in after me and leave with their food 10-15 minutes before I do. read more

This is a good options for the late night munchies. They have homemade burgers and fresh cut shoestring fries. We opted for 2 number 2's which was standard cheeseburger , lettuce, tomato and special burger sauce. We also added the combo to have the fries. The burgers seemed par cooked from what we saw at 10:00 pm on a Saturday and were heated up and cheesed. Fountain drinks are serve yourself. Added on one chocolate shake. 16.72 all in. The reason for the 3 star review was the par cooked burger and also the patty so thin the bread to patty ratio is off. I'd opt again for the double patty. read more

P. Terry's Burger Stand - Number 2 combo - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

From reading reviews I had high expectations! Instead it was like my mom had fixed a burger back in the 70s. Not much flavor and an over abundance of lettuce. I had high hopes for the sauce but it was very thin and dripped off making it messy, and added very little flavor. The fries were delicious! Again, a lot like moms! You'd have thought the nostalgia would win me over but...not so much! read more

This place is a joke. The burgers are tiny! I have had better burgers at a school cafeteria. The meat is very thin! The cheese is cheap american slices. The fries have no seasoning. They are thin and greasy! Never again! read more

This P Terrys is consistently much slower than the one on North Lamar. I'm always disappointed and wish I just went to the North Lamar location. read more

P. Terry's Burger Station is an Austin original. How do you describe a great cheeseburger, wonderful fries and an oatmeal chocolate chip cookies? There seems to be a P. Terry's on every corner in Austin, you should stop by one and try them out. The service was fast and the food just as it was ordered. When in Austin, go get Full. read more

Augustine was the sweetest! He even gave me a free sample of the peach iced tea! Food was on point as always and so so good!

Wow, just wow! It was my first time trying P Terry's a week ago and boy was I impressed. The service was fantastic and I now have a new favorite on MLK. I would recommend getting a triple cheeseburger with grilled onions as well as an order of fries (extra crispy.) It is not too heavy and fills you up right. The highlight of my meal was my encounter with the employee, Rene. Rene was very hospitable and gladly showed my friend and I to the walkthrough window where we can order on foot outside. I always appreciate great customer service when I see it and this place does it the right way! I will be back many times in the near future! One thing that would bring P Terry's to the next level for me would be some cheese fries. I don't know, just a thought. read more

This local burger joint is great for a late bite Hand cut fries awesome ! If you're really hungry, get a double patty read more

The service is too slow at this location. I came here because I remember how tasty P Terry's burgers were but this establishment is way too slow. One cook for a busy burger joint won't cut it. Thirty- Three minutes of waiting for my food and my order was wrong then I get charged for them to make my order correctly. Additional wait time. Horrible! read more

P. Terry's is adorable. The service was fast, friendly, and the burger was delicious!

The burger is okay, veggie burger is good, fries are average, shakes are good, and oatmeal chocolate chip cookie is soooo good. I like the prices at P. Terry's. read more

P. Terry's Burger Stand - Cheeseburger combo and oatmeal chocolate chip cookie - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Look, I'll be honest with you here, pterrys is not a fine dining establishment, you aren't putting a napkin in your lap with a 20 something year old filling your drink every 5 minutes trying to get some pocket money from you. But this establishment doesn't need to be that. The food is good, its fast food, not caviar; however taking a bite into my double cheeseburger light lettuce fills my mouth with euphoric ecstasy. You come in to some great tunes and kind faces, real people living real lives sharing the ever dwindling time of their life with you to give you what you came for. And for that all I can say is thank you... thank you pterrys thank you for the great service I can rely on when I'm hungover from a crazy night, for the convenience you provide when I'm on my lunch break, and thank you for always being there for me. read more

Be prepared to wait up to an hour on a game night. Good food but should have ordered more because I was starving by the time it was ready.

[take out] I love P. Terry's, but this location is not it. The burger was dry, disheveled, and the cheese was not melted. This tasted more Burger King than T. Perry's. read more

Uuum, the burger was OK. Too small, like the hamburger buns you buy at the grocery store, NOT big like Whataburger or Burger King flame burgers. By time the Angus beef patty cooked, mustard, onions, lettuce & tomatoes were placed on the #1 burger and wrapped to go, after unwrapping the burger, the burger buns were COLD. The strawberry shake was tasty. I feel these burgers are cheap $3.95 and easy to please some people but not many people. I would not return for more read more

Good food! Great for late night dinner! Love the simple menu and family owned operation. Need to try at least once!

Was on vacation and heard we had to go here, so we did. I ordered the hamburger with everything, and fries. We all got shakes. I thought the hamburger was pretty good. Not crazy about fries but they weren't bad. Shakes were great. Service was good. Price reasonable. It appears by the reviews it is great to very bad. Our day was good. Reminds me of In and Out Burger. Would I try them again, probably to be fair since it was my first visit. 5/21/21 3 pm read more

It's a solid burger. Nothing fancy, but basic done right. Fries are hand cut and very good. The place is clean and well kept.

Here on a business trip from California. I stopped by this place twice while here. The bacon burgers are really good. Juicy and tender. I wish this place existed in LA! read more

prettyy good burger! the only reason it's a 3 star is because a few times that i've come her and tried to use my Bevo Pay some of the cashiers say they don't accept it but when you walk into the doors you can clearly see on the windows they say they accept it. After a while it gets annoying having to keep repeating the same thing over and over again. Also they'll run of banana bread super fast Foods pretty good tho and locations super convenient to campus! id recommend read more

We love P. Terry's. The burgers are simple and classic. The ingredients are fresh and local. This means we can eat a burger and not feel like crap afterwards. The French fries are always hit or miss based on the cook, time of day, etc. they can be a bit softer, or rock hard, or anywhere in between. It's definitely their most inconsistent cook experience. The milkshakes are a treat every now and again and they're always perfect and classically simple. All in all, there's really nothing bad to say. If you want a burger and fries and you've been going to in-n-out or whattaburger then you're going to LOVE p. Terry's. read more

Lovvveeee. Except they did have my condiment on only one side and I didn't notice until I ate all the condiments, but still so good. They're pretty fast with making your food, too. read more

Honestly, the burgers and fries at this place remind me of how McDonald's use to taste when i was little. However, this place gets 5 stars because the price is unbeatable! Cheeseburger + Fries + A drink = $7! read more

Wasn't a fan. Bread was dry and burger was sub-par. I'd only go again if it was the last thing open.

You can never go wrong with P. Terry's. This is a convenient location on UT campus. The quality of the ingredients is great and they've always gotten my order right so far, which is often not the case at fast food restaurants. Will continue to come back and enjoy a good borger! read more
