    Patty Palace serves a REALLY good veggie burger! The patty is definitely homemade. The person working was confused when I asked for the regular burger toppings with cheese and mayo and everything just on a vegetable patty, but I explained I was not vegan, and he agreed to do it. The onions smashed into the burger is delicious and the edges still get nice and crispy like a real smash burger. It is pretty greasy, but for a good veggie burger that is very reminiscent of a real burger, this is the best i've had. The food is made fresh to order so there is a bit of a wait. Stop in St. Elmo Brewing and grab a beer to enjoy outside while you wait. My fiance loved their smash burger and the prices are really reasonable. We will definitely go back again!

    While attending a Yelp event at St. Elmo last night, I noticed this glorious purple and white food truck selling smash burgers, and one thing I know about myself is my need and desperation for a burger if they smash it. Patty Palace, take me away. Like most food trucks in the big '25, you scan the QR code to place your order so the cook can keep churning out quality burgers instead of slowing down to take orders. My order was simple: a single burger and fries. I placed my order at 8:55 pm, and by 9:10 pm, alongside the other St. Elmo Brewing customers and other Yelp homies, my burger was ready. I sat down at the picnic table right across from the food truck and locked in. After one flash photo for proof, I easily destroyed their Palace Burger. I personally believe food should not be taken to go. It is important to eat it immediately upon receiving it. It's just a way of life. Inside are your classic burger toppings: the finest American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, mustard, and sauce on a glorious potato bun. Of the few things that stayed with me through my picky eater career is yellow mustard, and I don't even notice it. The whole thing was a banger. The fries were extremely crispy on the outside and soft on the interior. A perfect fry. On the side was their house sauce, which was very Thousand Island-esque. I dipped the fries in it, and it elevated them. A quality fry doesn't necessarily need sauce, but I took the sauce here and enjoyed it because their fusion just worked so well. It's nice to know that St. Elmo Brewing Co. has two quality food trucks on their premises, both doing chicken and burgers at the highest level.

    This review is for the truck on Sixth located at Zilker Brewing. The menu is limited which is fine by me because too many choices can sometimes be overwhelming. They have fries, onion petals, a single or double burger, and a vegan burger. The burgers come with cheese, grilled onions, sauce, pickles, & mustard. The burger bun is perfectly sauce yet holds the burger together without becoming soggy. Smash burgers have been all the rage the last several years and I'm still here for it. Especially when they're cooked up as good as Patty Palace. Whatever they season the patties with amplifies the smash burger experience with a bam! The hand cut fries are lightly seasoned and cooked with a nice crisp on the outside and soft potato inside. For food truck service, I'm gonna say they excel. Fast & friendly. This truck is well worth checking out.

    Holy hot dog, yall! I was referred by my friend Justin who works within the Yard complex. I'm so glad I took his recommendation and tried the specialty hot dog from Patty Palace. I just finished one of the best dogs I've ever had, and I'm from the dirty south SC, where a hot dog is considered a decent breakfast. The flavor, presentation, Austin holding it down at the register...is why I'll be back tomorrow and the next day. You guys are doing it RIGHT! The burger is now on deck. Thank you guys

    A very solid smash burger after sampling adult beverages throughout the yard for a Yelp event. This was a perfect cheeseburger and one patty was plenty you can get a double and vegetarian option. The burger was dressed with sauce, grilled onions, pickles and onions. I liked how the bun soaked up all the flavors without falling apart. The hamburger had that crispy layer on the outside that gave it tons of additional flavor. I also ordered onion petal which was pretty solid as well but i tend to prefer onion rings. Service was great and it didn't take to long to get my order.There are picnic tables right in front of the food truck and its located right in the St. Elmo brewery compound. Definitely a solid choice at St. Elmo if you don't want spicy boys.

    Delicious double smash burgers! We came here on a whim Friday night! Simple ordering from the menu with a QR code... the options are kept to a minimum, but when they know what they are good at, there is no need for a laundry list of options to choose from! We also got a basket of fries and onion petals. I do wish the onion petals were a little bit more thin to get more crispy on the outside but they were still good!!

    Love love love! I had been procrastinating visiting this place though it was highly recommended because I didn't want to go to a food truck. My goodness was I wrong to wait so long! This area is so fun with a winery, breweries, pickleball courts, lovely outdoor seating, and so much more. Parking was a little difficult but I went on a Friday night so that's expected. The man at Patty Palace was great and the food itself was too. I wouldn't say it's the best smash burger in Austin but it's high up there for sure. And the fries were great

    Came to Patty Palace as my buddy wanted Spicy Boys chicken next door. I didn't want to eat spicy and sweat anymore as it's still 90 degrees outside. Easy to order at Patty Palace and the cheeseburger was good and tasty. Quick service and no frills benches and umbrella for some shade. Solid 3.5 stars

    Awesome smash burger! I got a double smash burger with cheese, pickles and smash sauce (they don't have lettuce but you could add onion and mustard) The flavor of the meat was good and the sizing of the patties were good as well. The pickles were juicy and had a crunch (pickle lover approved) and the bun was good. Also grabbed a basic of fries and they were seasoned well and were crispy. YUM all around!

    The one thing that surprised me was how filling the single was. We ordered the onion petals and the fries. Everything was amazing to us. We were able to visit when there was a smaller crowd and then noticed they were located next to a brewery which was nice as they both shared the outside tables. We walked off our food by going to the end of the area located at the Yard. There are several places on my list, however, I'd come back for the smashburger again :) 10/18/2024

    Delicious, hits the spot burger! Thin lacey pattys, definitely recommend getting a double. Perfectly melted cheese with a balanced flavor coming from the onions and mustard. Just a solid, reliable, pleasing burger. You just order from a QR code, just one person manning the truck. It came out pretty timely! Simple, straightforward ordering process and burger! The truck has plenty of picnic tables to sit at and is connected to st elmo's for plenty of drink options and potentially live music.

    Patty Palace knows how to do fries right! Their fries were perfectly crispy, golden, and seasoned to perfection. Though the fries took a bit of time, they were worth the wait!

    Onion petals and sauces

    Great smash burgers! I got a single and my fiancée got a double and we shared the onion petals as well. I LOVE the onion petals - such a good idea! Has shaded patio in front of truck as well so that's great! We brought our dog too and the shade really helped. The sauces are delicious too!! My fiancée says it's his favorite smash burger he's had in town!

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!!

This was by far the best meal I've had all week. The cheeseburger was outstanding. The bun was perfect--soft, and held everything together without getting soggy. The meat had incredible flavor, juicy and well-seasoned, and the divine (I'm assuming that's the special sauce or topping?) absolutely blew me away--it took the whole thing to another level. The fries were exactly how I like them: thick-cut, tender, not overly crunchy or crispy, and seasoned to perfection. Every bite was spot-on. Service was excellent too--friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. Shoutout to the team for making a conference-weary traveler feel right at home. If you're anywhere near Jimmy's, do yourself a favor and go. I'm already thinking about coming back before I leave town. So well done--thank you! Highly recommend. 10/10 would eat again.
