Hut's Hamburgers

Hut's has a burger for everyone. The restaurant is in a great location and is a good spot to go for lunch. You can't beat the prices for the size portions you receive.

Pros: Great Food, Cheap, Cool Ambience

Cons: Sometimes Crowded

Hut's is so great!! The burgers are so good and filling! The onion rings are enormous! Fantastic is all I have to say!

Hut's has the best burger in Austin. The atmosphere has a fun 50's/austin funky feel. Incredible! Try the onion rings, cherry coke, and milkshake!

Pros: price, taste, quality

Cons: parking

Posted 06/02/05

A must visit on any trip to Austin. Get a buffalo burger if they are not sold out. A longhorn beef burger is a good second choice. Rootbeer floats are yummy and the perfect accompaniment to your burger. Onion rings are exceptional (and HUGE), fries surprisingly are merely average.

If your waistline can allow it, try one of Hut's ultra creamy made from real ice cream milkshakes. As good as any you will find anywhere in the entire USA, guaranteed!

Pros: burgers, shakes, HUGE onion rings

Tried to have a Hut's burger for the first time, but the plan was foiled by bad service. The wait time was excellent, only a 2 minute wait. After noticing that parties after us were getting served first, we knew something was wrong. It got worse after our waiter asked us to refresh his memory. He went to check on the order and didn't inform us of the status. After a few minutes we decided to leave. An apology, explanation or letting us know what was wrong would of help. Avoiding the situation didn't help.

Super good onion rings. Tasty longhorn burger (they have buffalo too). Wife thought the vegi burger was so-so. Fries are not all that. Quaint little hole in the wall kinda place with very nice service.

Pros: Nice greasy spoon, Onion Rings, Friendly folks

Cons: , Fries, parking

Dined in at Hut's a month ago and see no reason for the food to be rated this well. The meat in the burgers was bland. The service was terrible. Would not recommend this place to anyone, unless it was someone I didn't like.

Pros: nostalgic 50's decor

Cons: , the service

Posted 05/11/04

. . . especially if you think you are what you eat! Hut's is one of the few places in Austin that uses free-range, drug- and dope-free beef. Yee haw! And believe me you can taste the difference. And for vegetarians, Hut's wins two thumbs-up for creating their own, falafel-esque burger (and I think it's vegan) that you can have in place of beef hamburgers. Oh, and I'm less than an hour away from taking advantage of their 2-for-1 deal with my boyfriend. Just thinking of the onion rings makes my mouth water.

Pros: cruelty-free beef, homemade veg burger, cheap eats

Cons: parking, crowded

Posted 01/19/04

Absolutely our favorite place to eat in Austin. Buffalo burgers are out of this world! Phenomenal onion rings, and the fries, with some melted cheese...oh, chest pain, but worth it!

Pros: inexpensive , easy to find

Cons: so-so parking

Posted 12/18/03

Am I the only one who thinks that Hut's is way over rated? Their burgers are dry and tasteless.

Cons: bad food, no parking, not worth the money

Posted 09/05/03

I wasn't impressed. I'm from Dallas and was hoping for an awesome burger. I got the double, one pattie was done the second was medium rare. Not how I like to eat hamburger meat. And the whole thing fell apart. Yuck.

The double double (fries and o-rings) were ok. The fries were real potatoes, but, kind of old. The o-rings were extremely large, but not crunchy enough.

Posted 09/05/03

I can't believe what some of these reviews say. Are you sure they're not written by Hut's competitors? These burgers are great! The beef they use is terrific. The buffalo burgers are yummy too--I don't know anywhere else that serves them. My health conscious and vegetarian friends love the chicken and veggie burgers. And with all the different varieties--there's always something new to try. I think they're the best burgers in Austin--and apparently your readership agrees!

Pros: The best burgers, Inexpensive, Great variety

Cons: None

Posted 08/06/03

I read all the reviews here and tried out huts. Should say they do have good food but not the best! You can find the same kind of burgers elsewhere too. I would agree that Hut's is a little overrated.

Their blue plate specials are a good value and there is a 2 for 1 special on a burger almost everyday.

Their milkshakes are definitely worth trying!!

Posted 07/24/03

i never knew there could be so many choices when ordering a burger... i suggest the richie valens burger... it really hit the spot.

Pros: great service!, cheap, big portions

Cons: noisy

Posted 04/07/03

Hut's hamburgers are the bomb. If you are worried about gaining weight, then don't eat hamburgers. Hut's has an awesome mushroom burger and the buffalo burger is killer. If meat is what you want then double up. this place is definetly an Austin establishment. No one would know that it was an old gas station.

Posted 02/07/03

Hut's Hamburgers is a overrated Austin location. When you are carnal enough to want to eat a burger then you don't want vegetables or other fruity items included with your meal. The waitstaff? What waitstaff? Service is not on the menu at Hut's by any stoke of imagination. If you mean to eat an item such as a burger stick with a location that doesn't try to make chic out of horrible.

Posted 02/07/03

Really good hamburgers, really good shakes. Onion rings, though huge, are a little bland. Get the fries instead.

Posted 01/25/03

I went to Hut's anticipating a great hamburger and great service, but was very disappointed. My husband and I are not caucasian and we felt as if our server had never waited on our ethnicity before. Also, he was completely unattentive. The hamburger was mediocre at best, but not worth what it costs. I felt like I wasted my time on all those calories. Hut's is probably the most popular hamburger place in Austin, but not the best. However, on our way out a very friendly employee inquired about our experience and held the door for us.

Pros: One friendly employee

Cons: Service was terrible, Mediocre, Horrible parking

Posted 12/23/02

Great burgers!! Lots of greese. No where to park and can be very busy...but the good ones always r.

Cons: too busy, no where to park, loud

Posted 12/15/02

I have been on a quest to find the best burger in Austin. Since locals know best, I have been to Hut's three times, and I have been greatly dissappointed three times. The burgers are burnt to a crisp, the onion rings(althought beautiful) flavorless and the mushroom gravy room temp., too salty and lacking in any sort of mushroom.

Posted 12/13/02

I used to love Hut's, but a recent visit after being out of Austin for a few years was very disappointing. Our burgers were overdone and the usually yummy fries and onion rings were tasteless. Our waitress was terrible. She brought me the wrong burger and then proceded to argue with me that it was correct. I finally had to get the menu to show her that Arnold's Best isn't made with sour cream and swiss cheese!!!

Posted 12/13/02

I thought Red Barn was great. Johnny Fin's had a fantastic burger too. Then I got a taste of a Hut's burger and was shown what a true burger is. If you got Wednesday you get 2 burgers for the price of one. And the burgers are thick and juicy. They also have the best french fries in town. Recommended. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Parking can be hard to come by but is is 6th St. so what do you expect?

Pros: inexpensive, good service, great food

Cons: parking

Posted 12/04/02

Anyone who thinks a burger is a burger has not eaten at Hut's. Not only are these burgers big and juicy, but they're topped with options from the standard cheese/lettuce/tomato to guacamole, pineapple and ham. My favorite is the Dagburger, which is nothing more exotic than 2 giant patties with the standard fixins, but man, is that a burger!

Cons: parking

Posted 11/18/02

The entire menu is indescribably delicious and has been for more years than I can remember.

Posted 11/17/02

JUST RETURNED FROM AUSTIN. HUTS IS A TRADITIONAL LAND MARK. GREAT BURGERS & UNBELIEVABLE ONION RINGS. THE FATS DOMINO BURGER IS EXCELLENT. THE CROWDS CANT BE WRONG.

Pros: SERVICE, BURGERS, INEXPENSIVE

Cons: PARKING, CROWDS

Posted 11/15/02

their hamburgers rock, and their fries are great, but not the BEST, but a close second.

Posted 11/15/02

Food was way too greasy, salad had brown cut edges, did not get my order correct the two times I visited. Place could use some serious cleaning, not very appetizing.

Pros: Old, Rundown

Cons: Greasy, Don't expect much

Posted 11/09/02

the burger was alright...but i have to say that it isn't as good as burger tex off airport blvd...and for some reason....you leave as if you didn't get your money's worth. just my .02.

Posted 10/28/02

Huts has a great 2 for 1 special & they offer many different options on the classic burger. All this in a burger joint w/ enough stuff on the walls to jumpstart any conversation.

Posted 10/27/02

Th number 12 Theta burger with hickory sauce and grated cheese is the absolute BEST!!!! It is purely dreamy. Hut's definitely has the best burgers I have ever tasted and a fun atmosphere to boot!!!

Pros: Food, employees attitude

Cons: Parking, Lunch wait

Posted 10/25/02

Whenever someone asks me where do i want to go for burgers, one place comes to mind, Huts! It's friendly and the best food aroung. There shakes and floats are faboulous. They have great onion rings, and of course amazing burgers. With its inviting attitude, busy crowds, and college-ish decor its always a great casual place to dine.

Pros: reasonable prices, great milkshakes, Frues &onion rings

Cons: hard to park

Posted 10/19/02

Its the only place I know in the area to get a good, juicy hamburger! Avoid on Fridays - too packed! Get the turkey sandwich - very good.

Pros: inexpensive, good choices

Cons: crowded, sometimes slow

Posted 09/19/02

Good hamburgers served many different ways and huge baskets of onion rings are the best picks at Huts.

Posted 09/15/02

The last 3 times I've been to Huts has been a major disappointment. The burgers have been overdone and over salted, and the onion rings and fries have been so salty they couldn't be eaten either.

Posted 08/30/02

I can normally only eat half a burger, but when I frequent Huts, I drink a chocolate malt, have cheesy french fries and eat an entire hamburger! They are absolutely the best I've ever had!

Posted 08/30/02

Great burgers, fries and onion rings. 2 for 1 can't be beat.

Posted 08/28/02

Order any burger on the menu and I guarantee you that you will be satisfied. The only reason I gave it a rating of 8 in food is because their french fries and onion rings are nasty. The decor is very corny and random and the service is slow but the burgers are worth it all!

Pros: good burgers, cheap

Cons: can be crowded, ugly decor, nasty french fries

Posted 08/28/02

Tastiest, largest, best buger in town, hands down. Took family and friends from out of town and they loved it!

Posted 08/15/02

This place always hits the spot. Milkshakes and burgers....mmmm Try the Dagwood for a different treat. Don't have to dress up, either!

Pros: Inexpensive, Good Food

Cons: Parking, Waiting

Posted 08/14/02

Food is great, service is always friendly and fast, the beer is cold. What else can you ask for?

Posted 08/12/02

I expected great... I got Whataburger. Bun was oldish and fell apart. French Fries and onion rings, and shakes are good. The vegetarian burger option is terrible! The person with us who ordered it couldn't eat it because it was so bad. (they did take it off the bill) The service is pretty good.

Pros: french fries, onion rings

Cons: hamburgers, vegetarian burgers

Posted 08/08/02

One of the best burgers I've had and was well worth the wait. There was a wait to be seated when I arrived and not very many places available to stand/sit and wait

Pros: Inexpensive, quick, good food

Cons: bad parking, crowded, loud

Posted 07/31/02

The veggie burgers are great. You can change any of the burger variations to a veggie burger.

Posted 07/23/02

The are a lot of good burgers to be had all over Austin but Hut's gathers a wonderful variety in one downtown location. You can enjoy classic beef and cheese or toppings such as BBQ or guacamole. There's even a veggie version for non-meat-eaters. Add to the the greeat fountian drinks (vanilla Coke - MMmmm!!!), and you've got a winner!

Pros: clean, location, quality food

Cons: crowded, poor parking, pricey for burgers

Posted 07/22/02

I moved to Austin almost 3 years ago and have found Austin to be lacking in good burger joints. Huts is one notable exception. They have good selection, good food, and a great atmosphere. I've tried a number of their burgers and they have consistently been good. Unlike most burgers in Austin, the burgers aren't overly greasy and the buns aren't covered with oil/grease. The fresh-cut fries are also tasty. Go during off-peak hours if you want to be seated in less than 30 minutes. This is a great place to take out-of-towners.

Pros: Tasty burgers, Great atmosphere, Good selection

Cons: Long waits, Poor parking

Posted 07/18/02

I took my girlfriend (JLR) to Hut's for a quick hamburger. She and I were very impressed with the selection and atmosphere of the place. The onion rings are to die for...

Pros: Onion Rings, Hamburgers, Atmosphere

Cons: Parking

Posted 06/30/02

Get the Keller's Burger! It is awesome and a classic from another classic burger joint in Dallas, TX. The trick is the Thousand Island Dressing.

Pros: Classic Austin Joint, Price, Onion Rings

Posted 06/28/02

I've eaten just about every burger on the menu, and they're all winners. And I hereby declare the onion rings to be the best in Austin.

Pros: burgers

Cons: street parking
