hopdoddy burger bar

yum!. to start, you have to wait in line...don't let this deter you-it actually moves along fairly quickly, and the food comes out really fast once you're seated. the burgers are really good...i got the el diablo (substituted a black bean patty for the beef), and it was nice and spicy since it was topped with habaneros and serrano peppers. definitely spicy, but not over-poweringly so.
my meat-eating friend had the bison burger (can't recall what it's called), and he really liked it, and considered getting a second one.

they list where all the meat, produce and cheeses are sourced from (most are local or from texas at least), which was a nice touch. the fries were also really good! we split an order of the fries with the green chile queso...yum! the restaurant was pretty much brand new when we ate there, and the building is really nice, with a large patio, bar area, and lots of seating inside. service was also good and they have a good selection of local beers.

continental club is a win every time! also check out their weekly special. great drinks too!

i had the magic shroom burger with caramelized onions and it was delicious. the place is over priced so it's probably not a place that i will go to regularly but i do think everyone should try it at least once.

soooooo good! long wait but it was totally worth it. getting a drink while we waited in line made the time pass quicker. i recommend the primetime burger. truffle aioli!!! nom nom nom!!!

had the primetime. couldn't taste the kobe beef because the brie and carmelized onions were overpowering. i'm a fan of greasy burgers but this was excessive. too expensive, too loud. not sure i would go back.

just as good as the congress location. the process seems a bit better here actually. i've tried many of their burgers and none of them have ever let me down. the fries - also great. don't be intimidated by the line - it moves quickly.

post only contains star rating.

it must be the hype. although the place has a very hip and attractive interior and the ordering/seating process is pretty cool, the food is so-so and very expensive. i've had much better burgers at whataburger. the fries are ok, the service is great but it cost 35 dollars for 2 burgers fries and drinks and it was not very good. the burger was too salty.

the ordering process was very easy and straight forward and we got assigned our table. they have an interesting hybrid model in between a fast food restaurant where you order at the cashiers and a waitress later assist you with refills or anything else after this first order. the environment of the restaurant is spacious and very pleasant to the eye. they have a modern metro-style décor with good color combinations and furniture. it may not be an austinite weird type place but it is definitively unique and well done.

over rated.... nothing special. not bad, not good... i liked their salted carmel shake. i didn't like their menu. they should have a "build your own" burger, but don't..... no chicken alternatives... just average.

lots of hype. not worth waiting in line to get in. you can get a great burger by going across the parking lot to bartlett's.

had the janis joplin burger, it was fantastic, minus too much horseradish dressing.

great food, nice place, but very busy. the turkey burger was great, fries with fresh basil(i'm guessing that's what it was) were good. downside is that they are already to busy/popular.
