The 17 Best Burgers In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation
"The shoestring fries at Clark’s are incredibly divisive—they’re thin, nearly impossible to eat, and it makes it feel like your burger is resting against a prickly haystack. But there’s very little debate about the quality of the burger itself. It’s incredibly thick—with a pan-roasted crust and a soft, warm center—and comes topped with a delightfully tangy gribiche sauce and gruyere cheese. It’s expensive for the size, but it’s worth ordering at least once in your life. Or just show up during happy hour on a weekday and grab one for half price. Getting a table is easier around 9pm, but then you’re missing out on the optimal patio experience. Reservations open three months in advance on a rolling basis, but you’ll only need to book about a month out to secure a prime-time spot. If you’re just feeling a spontaneous urge for oysters, we’ve had luck with walk-ins, particularly early in the evening or on weekdays. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
