"Tucked just south of the river off Barton Springs Road, Sandy’s is part-burger stand, part-time capsule. The restaurant makes for an excellent post-Barton Springs lunch spot: The old-fashioned, no-frills cheeseburger hits all the right notes — hot, salty, and just a little bit messy — and costs about $6. Adding a malted shake (try the butterscotch or Oreo) or dipped frozen custard cone is a non-negotiable. Grab your burgers and dessert at the walk-up window and snag a picnic table outside. Don’t forget to grab some napkins. Know before you go: Kickstart your morning with a burger. Though it’s technically still “lunch” fare, this spot opens at 10 a.m." - Darcie Duttweiler
