    Soft Frozen Strawberry Lemonade with a Cherry on top
    Chanel M.

    This location offers fast and great customer service the few times I've stopped by. Once I had a large order and they set up a box for me so I could carry both the drinks and food with ease. We can never forget my daughter's favorite... Soft Frozen Strawberry Lemonade with extra Stawberry.

    Short stop for this shortie?! Count me in! I even took my shortie (not for much longer) and enjoyed a little lunch date to go. We didn't take the vegetarian which was a good idea because this place had zero options for the veggie king. Here's my take: -Great fast burger -Pricey for fast food -Two drive thrus (sweet!) -Tasty and yummy -No Vegetarian options -They have fish, chili dogs, and chicken burgers as well Hope this helps your decision if you're in a hurry but don't want to try the norm.

    Shout out to Short Stop, this location, and their employees! They're the sweetest!!! After the snowpocalypse in Austin all locations were either out of food or just closed! And honestly just wanted to eat a good burger! Short Stop never fails!!!! Great burger joint for fast food!

    Long hair

    I went and get burgers for my kids and all of three of them had long hairs in them and when I called they said they couldn't do nothing about it I had to throw them away and when I call they said they need it proof when I saw no one was wearing hairnets I wish I could give a 0

    Hair in fries

    Ordered a bacon burger and fries. They ended up having a hair in them which was not the worst part. They didn't want to do anything about it, such a shame.

    My name is Alice Brown and I want all to know about the Short Stop (#5) on Anderson Lane. First of all the burgers etc are always fresh and tasty. And the frozen strawberry lemonade is sooooo good. It is fresh and tastes like real strawberries. But what really makes this establishment is the staff. Always have a smile on, courteous and just nice. Everytime I go there (which is alot) the employees are in good moods. The manager Jose takes special care and treats customers with respect. I have lived in this neighborhood going on 40 yrs and this Short Stop has been here at least 25 yrs.Double Meat Cheese Burger Definitely an important part of the area with nice people and good food.

    I know it's unusual to see a little burger stand like this get 5 stars, but they are well deserved! I work across the street from this Short Stop and my coworkers and I end up eating there at least twice a week! Every time the food is on point! Delicious food, amazing service, and great pricing! This place is the whole package when it comes to burger stands!! They even have an awesome deal on Wednesdays and Saturdays, their #1 combo (burger, fries, and a drink) for only $4.89!! It's really a steal!

Chicken bowl, steak tacos, fish burritos and more. I also love the queso here. The best part is the tortillas are made fresh! Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    If you like Chipotle or Freebirds but wish they felt a little less corporate and had better…read moreingredients, Cabo Bob's is the way to go. At its core, it's a build-your-own burrito / tacos / bowl place, but everything here just feels a notch better. More variety, like panko-crusted white fish as a protein, or the option to get pico OR just tomatoes, just onions, just jalapeños if you don't want all three. A lot of sauce options including ancho rancho, chipotle cream, and jalapeño sauce. Plus they have a mango pico all year round. Lots of options with the tortillas: smoky cheddar, cilantro tomatillo, ancho chili, and flour. One of my favorite "hacks" is ordering the sampler and getting one of each of the tortilla flavors. I've also seen burritos split half-and-half with two different flavors. They press the tortillas fresh from a ball of dough right in front of you. They also offer crispy tacos and corn tortillas, but the corn tortillas comes pre-flattened and just get heated on the griddle. This place is wildly popular. I've seen 20-minute lunch lines around 1 or 1:30 pm while the Chipotle down the street has no line at all. You'll see everyone here, state troopers, church youth groups, office workers, families. Order ahead if you can and you'll save the wait in line and can pick up from the to-go counter. The soda fountain uses off-brand or private-label sodas, not Coke or Pepsi. Totally fine for me, but if you're a Coke loyalist you may have to settle. If I had one criticism, it would be the bathrooms. At the location I go to, they're single-stall with one men's and one women's, and no occupancy indicators. I'd rather see two gender-neutral bathrooms with an occupied/unoccupied lock. Minor gripe, but noticeable given how busy this place always is. Fast-casual done right at one of Austin's best burrito shops.

Today, with a BOGO coupon in hand, I did. It's a counter-order fast-food type setup, but I thought it strange that the big menu board didn't mention prices. I had to search around to find that info, in a battered 8x10 frame on the wall. Hmm. $13 for a meal of 3 tenders and fries, with no drink or biscuit included? Seemed a bit much. I got mine to go, and asked for one order of original and one of spicy tenders, but at home, neither of us could tell the difference, so I guess they didn't give me spicy. The tenders varied in size from big to skimpy, but were fresh and tasty--though I would have liked to try the spicy type. The fries were also good, a nice medium cut, in between the dreaded shoestring and chunky steak fry. The sauces we got were good, but if you use a lot, looks like they charge "Just 99 cents!" for an extra tablespoonful. With my BOGO, the price seemed about right. But at their posted price point, (which seems designed to go up at a moment's notice) I'm much more likely to spend that much for table service and excellent chicken a few blocks further north on Burnet--or half that for Cane's or Popeyes, if I want to order at a counter and eat out of a box.

She stated that they were splitting the section and they will both be our servers. Once our food arrived I tried to flag down the trainee multiple times to get condiments and a water. He looked at me and rolled his eyes and walked past us multiple times. As someone who works in this service industry that behavior is definitely unacceptable. Every server should be willing to help their customers, even if they are a trainee or not in their section (but in this instance, I was in his section) Some improvements might be having a host during busy nights like Thursday through Saturday. And training servers to be helpful and aware to every customer.
