Connecting flight in Austin and was in the mood for a hot dog. Got referred to TOFB by an airport employee. Great choice not only was their service impeccable thanks Dayami she was absolutely fabulous the hot dog and french fries, something I do t always eat, were flavorful, substantial and most of all not greasy. The place was very clean, food came out in a reasonable Time and temperature appropriate. This was a great choice and just all around enjoyable experience on the rush. If I'm ever back at Austin Airport I will definitely be a return customer and will look For Dayami expecting she would have promoted to manager. TOFB you have a very valued employ there. Job well done. read more

Thurman's Old Fashioned Burger - Hot Dogs Near Me - Austin, Texas

Let me start by saying that airport food usually means paying too much for something that's mediocre at best. It's often overpriced, underwhelming, and forgettable. But then I discovered Thurman's Old Fashioned Burgers during a layover at the Austin airport, and wow... this place completely changed my expectations. I ordered the 1/2-pound Thurman's Signature Burger, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It features two--count them, TWO--smash patties topped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions, all served on a perfectly grilled bun. The burger is cooked on a flat-top grill, seasoned just right, and prepared to perfection. The burger arrived hot, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every bite was delicious. Dare I say it? This might have been the best fast-food-style burger I've ever had. It was that good. The seasoned wedge-style fries were also excellent and paired perfectly with the burger. Even better, the combo meal with fries and a drink came in at under $20. At an airport, where everything seems to cost extra, that felt like an incredible value. If you're fortunate enough to be traveling through the Austin airport, do yourself a favor: run, don't walk, to Thurman's Old Fashioned Burgers. You can thank me later! Sorry, I didn't get a chance to take any pictures because I ate it to fast! Great food, great value, and proof that airport dining doesn't always have to disappoint. read more

I have been working at the airport as a massage therapist. I normally bring my lunch, but one day I didn't have time to prepare anything. Everyone knows that airports have notoriously high prices. One of my coworkers told me that Thurman's offers a child's meal for $5.99. It includes a burger and large steak fries . That sounded good to me...both the meal and the price! I had to give it a try.! The cashier called my name, and the 1/4 burger and steak fries were ready quickly and served hot. It didn't seem like a kid's meal; it was a nice portion. Very delicious, satisfying and filling. The place does have a fun, old fashioned vibe, true to the name. What a good meal and deal for the airport. read more

From Chicago, first time at Thurman's today. Here are my thoughts: -If "old fashioned" means awesome, huge, and juicy, then I'm on board! -Ordered the cheeseburger combo with fries and sweet tea. -The burger had two patties. Both were thick and juicy, perfectly cooked. Fries were bigger than I prefer, a little harder on the outside. -The menu is very simple. Service is good. Expensive but worth it! Highly recommended!! read more

Got the Thurman burger and it is huge with 2 thick patties and cheese. Their fries are well seasoned and you guessed it...they're also huge slices. I guess everything in Texas is big? . The price was very reasonable for being in the airport and the portion sizes. Good burger and fries! read more

Thurman's Old Fashioned Burger - Thurman Burger and fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Austin, Texas

Airport food was always overpriced and now with food inflation it is even worse, especially when feeding three people. At twenty dollars per person, it ends up being sixty, and the food usually looks and tastes like it should cost about twenty total. Enter Thurmans kids menu. Six dollars gets you a one quarter pound burger or two piece chicken tender with sauce plus fries. Ordering on the kiosk weirdly charges for sauces but ordering in person does not. The food was made fresh and actually tasted good. The ranch and honey mustard really hit the spot and the fries, cut big which is not usually my favorite style, tasted just fine with salt and ketchup. Overall, I was glad to spend under twenty to feed the family with decent tasting food. read more

I had a short time in Austin before my next flight home to Indy from the holidays, and needed a bite to eat, so I decided to go to Thurman's Old Fashioned Burger place to get get something to eat. I went to the kiosk menu and everything looked good, but wanted something simple, so I decided to just get the three piece chicken tenders with fries and a Starry to drink. My order was ready to pick up within a few minutes after I placed the order on the kiosk. The chicken tenders and fries were excellent and very fresh off the grill. It tasted perfect and comforting in my belly. For something quick and on the go, this was the perfect meal. Thurman's looks like a great burger place, and I'm sure the burgers are wonderful, but cannot speak to them since I did not have one. If I happen to come back through the Austin Airport again, I will try a burger at Thurman's. They did look amazing! read more

Nothing about this burger is old fashioned...it's a premade frozen patty (from the looks). I'm sure it was heated on a skillet but it doesn't look that way -- looks/tastes microwaved. Even the cheese triangles were sloppily thrown on and weren't even positioned on the burger. It's so greasy and not in a good way. Grossed out before even taking a bite. Don't go here. read more

First off the customer service here is non existent. I ordered a kids burger with cheese and fries. For a kid's meal the portion size is huge and can definitely feed an adult. The fries were huge but had no flavor whatsoever. The burger was huge, grilled nicely, with a nice flavor. You can't beat the price especially at the airport. However, I won't be dining again. read more

First things first: this burger was massive and so were the fries that came with it. However, the fries were very grainy and I could only eat a few before I got tired of them. The burger itself was edible but just tasted low quality. I've never said this about a burger but the meat to bun ratio was too high, it tasted too meaty but not in a good way. The ingredients in the burger were more fresh than a fast food burger, but I think I would've enjoyed a fast food burger more. read more

Between our flights, we stopped at Thurman's Old Fashioned Burger for lunch. I had the Philly Cheesesteak with fries and my wife had the Impossible burger with fries. My cheesesteak was at least 3 1/2 stars. Very speedy service. read more

Thurman's Old Fashioned Burger - Kids burger with fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Austin, Texas

Customer service needs to be reviewed because there was a very rude person at the desk! She failed to acknowledge me as I approached her direction, so I went to the self-checkout kiosk instead. When I went to clarify an item on it she acted very ignorantly. You would think that an employee would know that their kiosk has items on it that actually may not be available at certain times of the day. And instead of being condescending just explain that perhaps the kiosk will show all the items available, but in actuality there's another menu that has the correct items that are available for the time of day. read more

Their kids meal burger is great. Take a little long since it's made to order but it's my go to! Taste good and it's filling! read more

I'm not sure what all these negative reviews were about ...my burger was so delicious! Hot and fresh and expensive because it's the airport. I totally expected the price tag and I have no regrets. Our customer service was fantastic. They called us by name. Everything was perfect and it was scrumptious! I love eating local when we travel out of our home airport. The food is so good. read more

Kids burger with potato wedges was excellent! Burger was huge! Great option for kids at the airport.

Fried chicken Sandwich burnt to a crisp. When I pointed out it looked nothing like the pic. I was told by staff that it was fried chicken! No it was burnt and over cooked chicken. Wedge weren't bad. Waste of $18. read more

Huge messy old fashioned burger in the busy Austin airport. While it was good, it was nothing extraordinary and too messy for an airport for my liking. The potato jojo style fries were great and hot. It did take about 15 min for it to come out so don't order of running tight for a flight. read more

Only take credit cards and then charge a surcharge he to use it. Order from a screen, and never talk to a person and it asks for a tip.

Ordered a 1/2 cheeseburger - bun was completely stale and bottom bun was stuck to the tray - could not pick up burger. I went to find a fork, but they only had knives..... so, that was awesome. I get its airport food, but for what you pay for it - might as well just throw your money in the trash. The only plus was the fries - they were decent. Save your money and try something else. read more

Decently okay burger and decent wedge fries from the airport but as a meal it was $21 - way overpriced. read more

Thurman's Old Fashioned Burger - Burger with fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Austin, Texas

I think any review of an airport food outlet has to take into account that every restaurant in every airport has menu items that are overpriced. That's everywhere you go in the world, with the only variance being just how much that food is overpriced. I needed a quick means of refueling before a flight and decided to give Thurman's a go. I settled on the 1/2 lb Signature Cheeseburger as it looked appealing despite the price ($17 with fries, $19 if you get a fountain drink-what a bargain!). My sandwich came out hot and delivered promptly by the friendly staff. The burger was cooked beyond my preferred medium rare but that's about par for the course in these E. coli phobic times. The meat was not too far gone and I actually found it fairly tasty. Fries were my definitely my type-thick wedges of Idaho goodness fried crispy and not overseasoned. It was better than I expected and better than some of the other outlets I've tried in the Austin airport. The one ding against this location is the shameful lack of customer seating for it and its neighbors (the market, the pizza joint and Fly-Rite chicken). I wouldn't drive across town to eat here but if you're at the airport and are hungry, this is a decent choice. read more

Thurman's Old Fashioned Burger - 1/2 Lb. Signature Cheeseburger. Like a crime I took a bite out of it. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Austin, Texas

OMG what a ripoff.... Ordered a $6.00 kids burger that comes with fried. Clerk with attitude asked if I wanted anything on it so I said yes but when I got the bill, before seeing what I was getting my bill was over $16.00! What a joke, the tomato was the size of a 50 cent piece. Also they will not tell you how much they're charging for any extras.... STAY AWAY ITS A TOTAL RIPOFF Went to counter to similar ask what the charges were for the extras and clerk was a jerk and would not answer customer inquiry. This was at the Austin Tx airport read more

Anthony was friendly and super efficient. Husband and I had the combo: burger, fries and drink. Since fountain drinks weren't working, we got bottled water. Anthony also gave us cups of ice for the inconvenience. He was wonderful! This is an airport restaurant, so it wasn't outstanding with decor and had no place to sit. But we were comfortable eating our burgers and fries on the gate area which was close by. read more

Ordered the cheeseburger- for airport food, not the worst but it was pretty dry/overcooked and pretty expensive imo. I did really enjoy the potato wedges they had on the side though, which were hot and crispy with a fluffy interior. Service was fairly quick even on the day before thanksgiving. Price: 2/5 Taste: 3/5 Value: 3/5 read more

Thurman's Old Fashioned Burger - Double cheeseburger - Hot Dogs Near Me - Austin, Texas

No idea about the burgers, but they have a surprisingly good, shockingly good one might even say, breakfast sandwich. One must be cynical about an airport burger joint's breakfast sandwich, sold simply to use the otherwise idle capacity in the morning. But it really wasn't bad. Looked like a fresh fried egg on with some bacon on a bun. Maybe it was a hamburger bun and not an english muffin (it probably was) but it wasn't bad. So, yes, low expectations were a part of this but the lines at the "real" breakfast places were too long and I got a decent cup of coffee and a pretty good breakfast sandwich served by some fun people. read more

It was OK. Had the Jr burger and fries, so thought it wouldn't take too long. Service was EXTREMELY slow and there were condiments on the floor that were not cleaned up. Guess I shouldn't have expected much from a burger spot in the airport but the burger was just lacking flavor read more

This venue is across from Gate 21, behind Amy's Ice Cream. Like every eatery at the airport, things are overpriced however a good deal is the Kids' Menu. I've tried the 1/4 Burger and it was quite good and it included a small portion of fries for only $6. I was rather disappointed with the 1 lb All Beef Hot Dog for $9, didn't care for the toasted bun. Another good deal are the French Fries for only $4, you get a good portion to satisfy a neglected belly. read more

Located in the Austin airport, since it was in the airport I didn't have high expectations but DAMN! Six people working and it was like watching a clown show without the humor! Finally ordered, sat down and then the disappointment really sat in! Stale bun, overcooked patty and so clod the cheese won't even melt! Probably the WORST burger I've had in my life! For the same money you can go to Salt Lick or Flyrite and had some decent food. Save you money-DO NOT go here! read more

Thurman's Old Fashioned Burger - Stale bun, overcooked patties and cheese not melted! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Austin, Texas

It's okay. Definitely not worth the price. The cashier disappeared for about 5 minutes for the need of extra ice. I'm not upset but someone else should be assisting for these kind of things. I saw 2 customers walk away. Anyway... I ordered off the kids menu..to be frank, I'm not cheap but I couldn't justify spending 12 more dollars for an extra patty, with Cheese. One half of the meat patty was burnt, but I will say the flavor and bun was tasty! The bun was cooked to perfection. The fries were fresh and I couldn't complain at all. Actually I will say the fries were good. Haha. The inside was dirty. As I waited for my food I was preparing my ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise but I couldn't help but notice stains on the counters, small trash leftover because no trash can was nearby. I don't have much to say other than that. Next time I'll try somewhere else. I don't plan on coming back unless I want a kids burger for 6$ You might have better luck people. read more

I make it a point to try cheeseburgers when I travel, and here was the chance to get one from the Salt Lick family. Everything is overpriced at the airport, so I won't mark down for having to pay the rent. Surprisingly good burger... tasted flame broiled and made me think about cookouts... the fries were good too. Pro tip- ask for some BBQ sauce on the side! read more

Ordered the 1/2lb signature burger with fries. Everything was fresh and well seasoned. Probably the best food I've had in an airport in a while. Would definitely eat here again. read more

As with any airport food, this place is over priced so I won't knock that against them. The burger however, is dry and over cooked (look at the photo). It also has no sauce on it. The bun is nicely toasted and the toppings are fine. The fries and ranch are good. I wouldn't eat here again. read more

If I could give 0 stars for service I would. Anthony, working afternoon shift on May 28th was rude and insulting. When someone mumbles their words and gets offended when a hearing impaired person doesn't understand him. When asking for further explanation he walks away and then calls security stating he was being threatened is unconscionable! I always had the impression that Austin was a cool place to visit. Anthony left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Hands down, one of the top 3 worst burgers of my life. It was old-tasting, microwaved and disgusting. The fries were ginormous wedges that were tasteless and also reheated. DO NOT EAT HERE! read more

I would like to say I tried the food but I didn't get that far. After telling my friend it took 20-25 mins to cook a cheesesteak one of the few choices on their fast food menu item. I approached the unattended counter where a couple of workers started saying "hey your brothers up at the counter waiting on you" I can only assume it's because I'm gay and have long hair and the worker was as well. The worker rounded the corner and says "that ain't my brother". I immediately asked for a manager and was told he's "around the corner". Once the manager (Joey) arrived I asked how like it took to make a cheesesteak (3-5 minutes per his statement) and referred to the above encounter his only responses were "I'm just trying to figure out if you want a cheesesteak". Definitely a no go. read more

Let's start with the positive. The burger was tasty and came out hot and the cheese melty. And a double patty that was an added bonus But why did I give a 2. The employees and the "fried". The guy taking my order was extremely rude. When I asked what came on the burger and came with the meal he looked annoyed. He said the burgers come with potato wedges and I was like can I sub for French fries like it says on their menu. It clearly states that they sell French fries and he was like nope. So I say oh ok can I order fries and he goes super annoyed we don't do that just wedges. I ask them if they can make them extra crispy for me and he goes nope we can't they come the way they come. They came under cooked and with almost no flavor. For 17 bucks I expect more read more

Driest hamburger I've ever had. I could hardly swallow it and asked them to remake me one, and it was the same. The meat had the flavor and consistency of grout. I also asked for extra crispy fries twice, and they were just warm (and not crispy). Not good. read more

Great service. The cook was really into what he was doing so I had high hopes...but this was the most flavorless burger...terrible. No seasoning and tasted like it was boiled. Fries were good though read more

Probably not a suitable structure for an airport. Fast food that is not fast, expect 15-20 minute wait.
