Today we stopped by Buddy's Burgers after kayaking the San Marcos River and we were definitely…read moreready for some real food. I ordered the bacon burger, seasoned fries, and a strawberry lemonade. The burger was juicy, well seasoned, and really good. The fries came out hot and crispy, with just just. Enough Cajun seasoning. The strawberry lemonade was sweet and tangy and comes with free refills. You can also choose strawberry, mango, or classic lemonade. The building is pretty big with family-style tables. We had a group of eight and were able to sit together by adding a chair at each end of the table. (All of my friends have "restaurant names" which I have never heard of.) After you place your order they call your name when the food is ready, and they may even bring it to your table. The staff were friendly and helpful. I liked it so much the last time I came here that I ended up trying their Austin location later. If you're in the area after the river or just craving a good burger, this is a solid spot to try.

There's a pool table, and plenty of seating, at the bar, tables, upstairs as well. Found out that they have food, which I didn't know. We got some burgers, to make sure they were good. And they were. Just good. I did love the fries, done week done, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I had onion rings with my burger, they were just alright. The service is good, plenty of bartenders. Super nice and helpful and patient, took me awhile to order. The bar has a mug system, not sure how it works, but they have discounts daily for mug owners. Pretty cool idea. Plenty of TVs on, music was playing.

The staff was on it the whole time--attentive without hovering, and our waitress actually seemed to like her job (rare these days). Place was clean, too, which again... late night. Impressive. We did the Dinner for Two for $40 because I love a deal that doesn't feel like a deal, and this one delivered. Appetizer, two entrées, dessert--no weird upcharges, no "that's not included" surprises. I got the chicken with vegetables and pasta, plus garlic bread and a salad. Everything tasted way better than a $40 bundle has any right to. The other entrée was a burger and fries--simple, hot, and legitimately delicious. For the app, we grabbed the cheese bites (both cheddar and mozzarella) and honestly, I could've eaten a bucket of them. Dessert was a giant slice of cheesecake that looked like it belonged in a display case and tasted even better. Overall? Shockingly great experience. Fast, clean, delicious, and an actually good value. If every late‑night dinner went this smoothly, I'd never cook again.

Burger party was too oily and bun were falling apart due to staleness. Fries were not crispy. The patio seating and play area is really nice for kids and that was one of reasons that we came here.
