    #1 combo
    Edwyn A.

    Austin classic burger chain. You can get your classic hamburger here in a drive through format. If you want to save a little bit more the combo #1 is even cheaper on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I love their fries yeah they are frozen but to me they are just like Mc Donald's or Whataburger fries just they are more fresh than those places. The burger is typical as most Texas burger joints cooked in a flat top. It's dressed all the way with mayo, mustard, and ketchup. It also has chopped lettuce, onion, and tomato. I've had their Apple pie before and these are fried just like they should be not that 'sassy' baked apple pie you find at the Golden Arches. If you are really hungry you can add a corn dog too. This location is in a prime location off Anderson Ln. so expect a wait at lunch and navigating the lot that it share with Cabo Bob's and a drive through coffee shop. Service is typical of fast food but friendly and you get that classic drive through experience when ordering from the old school menu.

    I'm from Austin. No but like for real. And Short Stop is a legacy if you will, a living legend, an icon. This place gives me all the feels. Nostalgia level maximundo! I don't modify the burger when I order, because like why? The service is consistently solid. And the establishment is sacred. It's a trifecta of fast food burger bliss! Each visit I either say out loud or think to myself the words "reporting for duty". If you know, you know

    Soft Frozen Strawberry Lemonade with a Cherry on top

    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!

    Hair in fries
    Pedro S.

    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.

    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

    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.

    We returned to Mission Burger for the second time today because everything we had the first visit…read morewas so delicious--and once again, they did not disappoint. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff truly make this place special. Huge shoutout to amazing team members Ariel and Emily for being so warm and kind. The chef even made our pup Zoloft a pup cup today, which was such a sweet gesture. The lovely woman who helped us during our last visit also gave Zoloft a pup cup, so they've consistently shown kindness to our little family. They even gave complimentary vegan cookies to guests when we arrived (not sure if it was a special promotion, but such a thoughtful touch!). And the ice cream... WOW. Made with lentils, and honestly some of the best ice cream we've ever had--rich, creamy, and unforgettable. Friendly staff, delicious food, thoughtful service, and creative plant-based treats. Mission Burger is a gem in Austin, and we'll absolutely be back again whenever we return to Austin

    This burger spot is essentially just a food truck, but the food is solid, and the service is great…read more The food truck itself is nice and clean, and there's a big signage out front. 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.

    Was not pleased with the service at the beginning. The cashier's name was Blake I believe (he had a…read moreglowing pride hat) , and had an attitude with everyone that I was with and it looked the same for guests before us. When I went to order, he asked how many for the party, which I tried to respond with "it's going to be separate because we want to place a to-go order" I barely got any words out when he interrupted me and repeated his question with an attitude. I said the same thing but this time he let me finish and began taking my order. While he took my order he was also a little rude, interrupting me a couple times. After my friends placed their orders, they also came to me commenting on his rudeness. Aside from this experience, the food was great and the rest of the staff was great too. The space is great and offers lots of seating if you choose to dine in. I would come back in the future but just hope something gets done to improve customer service.

Note : they do validate parking for area next to restaurant since parking is at a premium .Our parking was $22 since we originally were dining down the street. All bread is baked in house and burgers were done to perfection. They even support active military which I appreciate. Worth a stop!
