Essentially it's a root beer float blended altogether, but it tasted really good and I liked how thick it was. I had a cheeseburger, but honestly it wasn't anything too special. The bread was a little bit dry, but at least the meat was juicy. The highlight was definitely their fries! Whatever seasoning they use was delicious and I liked the special sauce on the side, so that's why I'm rounding up to 4 stars! If you are looking to cross off a Texas staple from your list then you should definitely make a quick stop here, even if it's just for a milkshake and fries.

For airport food, I was actually surprised at how good it was. I got the korean steak bowl, which came with arugula, avocado, tomatillo salsa, cotija, pickled red onions, and fried shallots. It had a good portion between the meat, rice, and arugula. Meat was tender and tasted great, especially when you add their habanero sauce they offer. Also got the belgian fries with parmesan, parsley, and a peach bbq dipping sauce. Perfect crisp on the fries, and the portion was plentiful for the price being $6. If your gate is around 16-17, I'd recommend coming here for your airport eats!

I saw someone walking by with an order of French fries and immediately decided that I needed to try them for myself. I went with the Parmesan fries, and OMG... they were amazing! I honestly wish I had ordered two. I also got the pork belly tacos, and they were delicious. The pickled carrots and cucumbers added such a great balance to the pork belly and made the tacos a really flavorful treat. It's one of those combinations that you don't necessarily expect to find, but it works incredibly well. The customer service stood out so much, with the girl at the register greeting me immediately, making recommendations, and being patient while I was being indecisive lol Everything was good, the fries were the unexpected standout, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Austin. There's always something fun to discover here!

This Whataburger sits right in the AUS cell phone lot -- the place where everyone waits for pickups, drop‑offs, and the eternal "I'm walking out now" text that's never actually true. For a fast‑food spot in an airport waiting area, it's surprisingly solid. The staff keeps things moving, and the food comes out hot even when the lot is packed with people circling for their passengers. It's an easy stop if you're staying at one of the nearby airport hotels; it's a short walk and one of the only food options that doesn't require going back into the terminal. It's also perfectly placed for anyone who just grabbed their rental car from the nearby facilities and needs something quick before heading out. You avoid airport pricing, airport crowds, and airport chaos -- all wins. Food is exactly what you expect from Whataburger in the best way: fresh, hot, and made as ordered. Late at night, it's even better. The crowd around the lot is a mix of rideshare drivers, locals waiting on delayed flights, and others refreshing their phones every few seconds, but the place stays friendly and efficient through all of it. If you're stuck waiting for someone who swears they're "almost outside," or you just need a quick bite before escaping the airport zone, this Whataburger is the best possible version of a time‑killer -- reliable food, quick service, and zero fuss. read more

I live in the area and there are very few fast food restaurants so I have been there several times. Every time has been a wait of 20 minutes or more. At first I thought it was because they were new but it has been long enough now to have worked it out. I have given up and won't go back. read more

Short Stop

I have to start by saying this a true GEM of Austin and I don't think it gets the notoriety it…read moredeserves. I remember walking to this place when I was growing up and the thing I 100% give them credit for is that they are the same quality of food today as they were back then. When you look at a lot of fast food burger joints that were around back when I used to eat here - Jack in the Box, Wendy's - what they serve today is VASTLY different than what they used to serve back then and a lot of that has to do with cost and speed. Short Stop has managed to keep both of these in check while still delivering a great product and I respect that! Burgers here are phenomenal and the crazy part is you can't compare them to anything because they have their own unique taste. Its certainly better than anything you can get fast-food-wise like Wendy's or Jack in the Box. I've only had P. Terry's once and I'd say this is even better than that. It tastes grilled but not with the overly charcoal taste of say Burger King and all of the lettuce, tomatoes and toppings just taste very fresh. Usually I don't like tomatoes on my burger or onions because people just overdue them and it derails the taste. They have gotten that formula down where when you take a bite it's the perfect blend of everything doing it's part to create a full, unique taste palette. And this one of the only places where I can get a burger and there won't be anything left. Fries are usually also on point. I've always heard good things about the fish but I'm never in town on Friday's when they serve it. But if it's anything like the burgers I believe the hype (and that's rare from me!). The only reason for the -1 is I did see that 77 health score rating which is concerning, especially when they're usually up there in the 90's. Please don't tarnish this gem. I'm thankful every time I come to Austin and this location is still standing and still open for business and I make a point to stop by and do my part to keep it that way, but that also relies on you doing your part as well.

Terry's and In and Out (solid burger, awful fries, admittedly), but for my money, Short Stop delivers the best all-around experience. Their burgers resemble the flavor of Burger King, except Short Stop doesn't just use chemicals to create the flavor. Also, I have yet to find a better fast food French fry than Short Stop. P Terrys gives SS a run for its money in the burger category, but the fries put SS about PT for me. Additionally, SS has additional menu items which are super solid, namely the catfish and Chicken Slammer sandwich. Seriously, the Slammer is a hidden gem on the menu.
