Craving a no-nonsense burger, and saw this recommended. I am simple I love smash burgers. Atmosphere: Counter-service inside the St. Elmo area, easy in-and-out with plenty of nearby parking. It's the kind of spot you hit before/after a beer run--order, crush a burger, and get on with your day. Very family friendly. Food: Kept it classic: a double smash with fries. Thin patties with lacy, crispy edges and a proper beefy bite; American cheese melting into the seams, pickles/onions for snap, and a soft bun that holds but doesn't fight you. The sauce is divine, certainly a bit more tang and kick (tastes like extra pickle sauce) but it works so well with the perfectly done onions. If you're deciding between single vs. double, go double and thank yourself later. Menu stays tight--single, double, vegan, plus fries or onion petals--which I appreciate. Service: Quick counter order, faster hand-off than I expected for dinner rush. Friendly crew, no upsell pressure. Wrap-up: Dialed-in smash burger, hot fries, zero fluff. If your ideal burger stop is, single or double? Done, this is it.

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. RIYL: Destroying a burger that tastes straight out of the 1960s.

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!

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

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

Single party and fries

The service is pretty fast and the burger is delicious! Everything you'd expect from a Smash burger spot. The fries & onion rings are okay. Kinda cool to sit outside but also lots of flies haha!

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

Double Patty

Burger is solid. Fries and onion rings are ok. Service is efficient and fast. Beer garden vibes, very chill. Will be back.

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!

Lizzie R.

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.

I'm going to repeat that - a crisp, golden disc of potato love is in the burger. Not on the side. In. Be still my heart (literally, I think that got me close to a heart attack). I cannot recommend Jewboy burgers enough. Staff was friendly, service and ambiance were great with plenty of places to sit inside and out.

First off, i'm so over places offering only Maine Root options. These always taste horrible. Id pay double for a canned coke or pepsi anyday. Before we get to the disappointment of a burger, lets talk about the onion rings and the fries, as they shared the same problem. Either your oil needed to be changed 2 days ago, or your timer stopped working. Both came out brown and tasted of bitter overused oil. Now to the burger. I do appreciate the amount of pickle slices on this burger, but this heavy hand was also responsible for the mustard levels! I think i'll be tasting mustard for a couple days. The bun was too soft and barely held up to the task. If I do give this place another shot, it will be minus mustard for sure.

I'm a girl who prefers no pickles on burgers so that's my own bias but even my partner stated he felt the burger was very pickle forward. The waygu beef was suppose to be star, especially at the price point for this ($40 for two burgers, a diet coke, and a shared order of beast fried), and it simply wasn't. Both the burger and fries were well cooked but my feedback is slapping what seems to be sliced cheese that will only melt to the top layer of fries and leave the rest without any toppings feels like a missed opportunity. It makes it harder even grab fries because they are conjoined together by the cheese. I like consistency in each bite, once the top layer of fries was gone they were just plain Jane fries. I think if the burger had some crunchy / crispy to just break up all the soft textures that would be nice as well. Like subbing the grilled jalepenos for raw ones. I can't say I'd go out of my way for this spot again with other competitors like Buddy's being closer and less pricey but it was still a well cooked burger. But if you like pickles, this is the place for you! It's bar/ high top dining only so definitely a casual, quick bite stop.

It's been a while since we've been back here and since then, they've moved and this is their…read moreSECOND, 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!

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

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!!

When I chose to eat here, I checked the reviews and there were way more positive reviews than…read morenegative, so I thought the odds were in my favor. The few negative reviews mentioned bland burgers, but the positive ones say these are the best burgers in town. I thought I couldn't be unlucky enough to be in the minority and receive bland burgers, but, boy, was I wrong! NO SEASONING IN THE PATTIES!! Not even salt? If they had just seasoned the patties like they seasoned their fries, my experience would be completely different. An easy 5 stars. But nope. A solid 2, only because of everything other than the patties. We came at around 8pm on a Saturday night and were the only customers, so maybe that should've been a sign. Also the lot felt kinda sketchy in the dark. Idk if I would have wanted to be there alone at night. Food was also ready in 10 minutes, like the guy told us. FRIES: Thick cut, well-seasoned, good. Looked like a steak seasoning on the fries. I liked it, but since they were thick, the center of the fries were bland, unfortunately. Maybe it would've been less noticeable if we ate them right away. Large serving though. My bf and I only got one combo and couldn't finish the fries with each of our burgers. The burgers are big, at 4 inches wide. THOUSAND ISLAND BURGER: I liked it at first because of the thousand island, but for the bites that didn't have it, I noticed that the patty didn't taste seasoned...like at all. I was shocked at how bland it was without the dressing. MUSHROOM BURGER: The mushrooms had no flavor, probably weren't seasoned at all. The burger, overall, was also very bland. Unseasoned patty here too. The ingredients felt fresh, but it was missing the flavor we were expecting. Really disappointing. They gave ketchup packets in the bag, but we didn't remember they were in there before finishing our burgers. It probably would've really helped, but the burgers shouldn't have needed it to be good.
