Dan's Hamburgers

Very unique local burger experience. Very tasty and well crafted burger. Did I mention, well crafted? Dan’s burgers have very vibrant textures and flavors unique to its own. I’m not sure it measures up to the greatest ‘fast food’ burgers of all time, but it’s pretty darn good. Onion rings were good, but I prefer a more panko or even a beer batter, but these were still good and fresh. Do stop in if in the area. Dicks

Great food. The burger was juicy. The tenders were fresh and crispy. The onion rings were outstanding. Prompt, courteous service. Dan's is great!

I’ve always known Dans for their delicious burgers but I just recently discovered their breakfast menu and im OBSESSED! Literally want to bring any of my guests that come visit me to Dans for breakfast! It is such a great deal! The prices are very reasonable and the meals are fulfilling!! I recommend asking for your biscuits toasted! Takes them to a whole new level! There’s plenty of parking at this location. It is a little older but gives you the diner feel. Our server was very attentive and great customer service! I cannot recommend Dan’s enough for their breakfast!!

Dan’s Hamburgers is hands-down the best place for a classic hamburger and a true Austin staple. Every burger is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made just right. I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else when I’m craving a great burger. Beyond burgers, they also offer a solid variety of other menu options, all prepared with the same quality and care. A must-visit if you’re in Austin.

I crave their breakfast tacos regularly, they’re always so solid. I get: • Sausage, egg, potato and cheese • Bacon, egg, potato and cheese • Bean, potato and cheese The shredded potatoes are like a soft mix of hash browns and mashed potatoes. Tacos are big and full of flavor. The sausage is locally sourced, and the salsa is fresh with a great kick. Staff is friendly, prices are fair, and call-in orders are easy. Highly recommend!

First time trying Dan’s. I got the small burger and the junior basket for my son. The burger was full of flavor and tasted like a good old fashioned burger. The chicken tenders were fresh. The fries were just there but next time I’ll get the curly fries that I didn’t notice until after ordering. Also the sweet tea was bomb, and I judge a restaurant food on their tea, very rare a place has bomb Texas sweet tea without the food matching Lol Staff was friendly and I loved the old school vibes. Will definitely be back.

Solid lunch spot, burger didn't blow me away fries were very tasty and crispy. Burger could probably due for some type of sauce I think but this place has been open since 1970s so why change things now I guess. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean. And employees were cleaning each table after someone finished

Look, if you are looking for a good old fashioned Cheeseburger, this is the spot. The food just seems to get better every time I try it. The service is always great and the staff are always awesome. The cooks are definitely the best of the best because everything is delicious here. If you havent tried it then I highly recommend that you try it out

Oh my gosh I LOVE Dans!!! Lots of burgers and Austin. Lots of really good ones too. Dans is a classic though. And cheap! I 100% recommend Dans cheeseburger and onion rings. There fries are also amazing. Only thing I would change is how late they are open. Craving a mid night burger and unfortunately they are closed by 9pm.

Was Super excited to have a burger spot close to me but it was underwhelming. Tasted like a poor man version of Whataburger. Curly fries were yummy tho and price is decent.

For years and years, I've loved Dan's Hamburgers - specifically, their cheeseburgers and their curly fries. Although I've been hitting the location on North Lamar Blvd. more often (as recently as a couple weeks ago), I was in the vicinity of the one on Airport Blvd., where I hadn't eaten in three, maybe four, months, where a cheeseburger with curly fries beckoned me in. Inside, I found the counter staff were gone; there were things on the counter where there had been clear spaces for placing orders. A short, unfriendly woman told me tersely to have a seat and she'd be with me shortly. WTF?! Table service? At Dan's? I took a table, he brought me a menu, and I ordered, begrudgingly, because I was there and I really wanted a burger and curly fries. A tall man in white kitchen-worker garb, with his hands clasped behind his back - with the appearance and air of an orderly at a mental hospital - loomed nearby. He kept staring at me, so I looked back at him and made a gesture that signaled my annoyance with his unwarranted attention. He persisted, so I did it again. He then asked me, insincerely, "Are you okay?" I replied, "Just fine. How about you?" That seemed to deter his gaze for a while. However, he creeped me out by standing there, seeming to be waiting for an inmate to act-up so he could rush to restrain them. I got the impression that he and the waitress were husband-and-wife, and the new owners of the franchise, imposing their idea of how to operate a restaurant upon a Dan's; so out-of-touch (perhaps because they were foreigners) with how things are done around here. As I was just finishing-up the meal, the orderly came over and imposed himself on me, collecting my plate and silverware. I objected to his overbearing action, and he asked me, passive-aggressively, if I wanted the plate and silverware back. I replied, "I don't want to interact with you." This was one of the rare occasions when I've not left a tip for table service, due to a) my reasonable expectation of not having table service, and the obligation to leave a tip for it imposed upon me, b) the apparent new proprietors were such jerks, and c) because this Dan's, where I'd previously loved to eat, has been irrevocably ruined for me. If the Dan's on North Lamar gets bought-up by clueless foreigners and corrupted by table service, I'll stop eating there, as well, favoring the P. Terry's a few blocks up the street.

I was looking for a burger place that wasn't a food truck and I found this place. The burger was hot, fresh and tasty. The veggies on it all tasted fresh and the service was very fast. The inside isn't much to look at but the burgers are fantastic. Definitely give this place a try. My meal was about 12.50 for a burger, onion rings and a medium soda

I seriously love everything about this place. It's got the old school greasy spoon vibe going. And, I love that! The employees are rad, sweet, and friendly. The food, OMBurger!!! So freakin' good. I got a cheeseburger, fries, and chocolate shake. The boyfriend got a cheeseburger and onion rings. We went with the small burger versions. Can't even imagine the big ones. The onion rings were perfect-O! Perfectly battered and fried. The shake was like an old-fashion malt with yummy chocolate flavor. THE BURGERS WERE SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Dare I say better than my beloved Shake Shack?!? There, I said it! Cheeseburgers $4.15...what?!?! My meal was just over 12 bux. Epic. Go.

Fark ya!!!! Old school burger joint, best greasy deliciousness in austin. Health food? ... never heard of her.... This is the kind of spot grandad liked back before his bypass. Love it.

The food was good, but not great. I had to wait a while for my chicken tenders. The rest of our group ordered after me and their burgers and shakes were out well before my food. There's plenty of parking and seating.

Pretty solid! Got the small cheeseburger and fries. It's exactly what I expected, fast but better quality and taste than your typical fast food joint. Portions and prices are fair.

1st time here - we live in AZ. We all got a double burger different toppings- Delicious burgers and was hot! Fries done well and in fresh oil! Onion rings were excellent. Service was very fast! We are deducting for ambiance- Needs ceiling fixed, paint, and seats redone. Decor and interior needs quite a bit of maintenance. Tables are clean and well stocked. Unused Service area is an eyesore. Would not want to eat in again- which is a shame cuz it is delicious and popular!

Established 1975. Delicious hamburgers. Celebrating their 50th anniversary. Highly recommended.

Dans hamburgers is Austin's best kept secret. This place is so good and so cheap!!!! It's just a great classic burger and fries. The service is great too everyone is so kind there. I tried a spoonful of my friends milkshake and MMMMM it was tasty. Everyone needs to go experience Dans hamburgers!!!!!!!!!!

Good homestyle burger at a reasonable price. Laid back atmosphere. Definitely gotta come by and try it.

Love this local spot! I think it's a great value for the money. I usually get a regular cause that's more than enough for me, but my husband loves a double with bacon. Prices stay reasonable and the staff is so nice. Last night we had the best cashier, she seemed actually happy to be at work. As others mention, could it use an update inside? Maybe - But I would like to say that people calling it dirty is not the same thing to me. I think some paint and some new furniture would be great, but it also gives it character. We really wanna come back for breakfast cause the pictures look yummy!

This was a spot that offered burgers, hot sandwiches, chicken tenders, and milkshakes. Ordering was done at the counter. There were plenty of tables to sit at. Our order was large, but the food came out in a timely manner. I had a regular double cheeseburger ($6.95). It came with lettuce and tomatoes I believe. It was solid. It was what one expects at a place like this. The meat to bread ratio was ideal as well. The fries were okay, hot, but not seasoned too much. The onion rings were the preferred choice as they were crispy and had a good ratio of breading to onion. I also had some grilled cheese along with chicken fingers. The grilled cheese was standard while the chicken fingers were not bad either. It was odd that the chicken fingers came with gravy as that was very plain. BBQ sauce was needed for the chicken. For dessert, I had some of the vanilla and chocolate milkshakes. They were very thick and creamy. I would prefer a milkshake to be a little less thick, but it was not that big of a deal as it was creamy like I mentioned. They were both traditional, which I prefer when having a milkshake. Will I go back? Certainly.

Okay, it was our last day in Austin and we were headed to the airport but needed to eat before we got there. Picked this place because of a couple reviews taking about old school flavor. I typically eat almost all of a burger but almost never every bite. But this burger... the perfectly toasted bun, the flavor of the burger (chefs kiss) ate every bite. Is it the cleanest most modern looking joint? No. Was the parking lot full at 2:30 pm? Yes! Lot of "working man's" trucks as well as passenger cars. That tells you all you need to know. They were fast, efficient and delivered quality food! I would recommend it to anyone who asked. And would definitely make it a point to go back.

It's everything you could want in a burger. Simple, consistent, tasteful, and American. Feels like a slice of what makes this country great. Service team was great and felt like a diner. Imagine a Waffle House that specializes in burgers, a little bit like that kinda vibe.

It's an Austin institution and well deserved. Old timey, homemade greasy burgers that hit the spot every time. You know what you're getting when you come here and you can customize the burger any way you want. Not the best burger in Austin but it's a step up from the fast food chains. The onion rings are top notch. Lightly battered and absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and fast.

I've always enjoyed Dan's burgers. The food is great. The location is getting a little long in the tooth, but it works.

I'm currently sitting and writing this review as my babies finish their meals. Oh my gosh this place is great. We are here in Austin for a day trip bc the kiddos are out of school today. Impromptu visit. I'm so glad we stopped. People were super pleasant. The food was fresh and delicious.

This burger was just like the ones I used to get as a kid. Big and juicy. The fries were perfect. The service was fast and friendly. There is a "hometown" feel. Everyone is happy.

Great quality food! Amazing burgers! Great service! And hands down the best onion rings I've ever tasted in my life!

Old school food and prices, still good! I had the BLT and then I added an egg to it, yummy, my fave. Pancakes are nice and fluffy, gotta have a 2 stack to share..

Price: excellent, ~8 for cheeseburger and curly fries Curly fires: delicious, the perfect amount of crisp and flavor Cheeseburger: delicious, good flavor and grease, tomatoes were nice and firm yet tasty. The wait was about 10-15 mins and there isn't a drive through. There is plenty of seating and its bench seating, with padding, so its comfortable. This is not a pristine environment. Don't come expecting someone to open your napkin for you, deliver food, clean off your table, etc. Just order, sit, and eat and be happy about the non-price gouging.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while. It's on the way to McKinney falls and very convenient. I ordered two burgers and one drink and it was under $15, great deal.The man at the cashier was so friendly, he reminded me of my dad he called me mija. There is lots of parking and space inside for big groups. The tables are all clean and stocked with ketchup and Tabasco, plus plus!

One of the best burgers in ATX! Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. Not too salty seasoned perfect!

We were visiting San Antonio from AZ. We went to a lot of restaurants, but the one I keep remembering and telling others about is Dan's. Excellent food and low prices. Love this place

Husband and I stopped here for dinner on the way to a concert. First time here. We both had double cheeseburgers and fries. The food was delicious and the prices very reasonable. The place is older but still old school diner and smelled like real food. Was clean enough. Lots of high school kids in there, cool vibe. The cashier was nice and looked like she wouldn't take any guff off anyone. We enjoyed it and will definitely be back.

Went to check Dan's burgers given the great reviews I have seen. I am a burger guy so definitely needed to check. It's a good burger but nothing exceptional on their toppings

This place absolutely hit the spot. Hungover New Year's Eve and needed something to eat. The cheeseburger was basic but good. The fries were delicious. Great seasoning and fried well. Nice little burger spot!

Nothing beats a Dan's Burger I can actually eat a large one and they are large something in them makes them so addictive I mean like I could eat one today and tomorrow I would not care as long as it was a dans burger

Grew up on Dan's and will continue to eat here as long as I can! This time I got the breakfast tacos, which were pretty big and filling. Salsa is also great here, I always get extra. They also have amazing burgers, everything homemade and served with a smile! They have a separate entrance for to-go orders and a nice seating area if you'd like to dine in.

Very unassuming, but let there be no mistake. This is a Great Burger Place. The strawberry milkshake and fries were awesome

Ordered ahead through the phone and once I got there (10 min) my food was ready! These burgers are sooo delicious and don't get me started on their curly fries... so crispy and well seasoned. Staff was very friendly as well. 10/10! Plenty of parking space. A lot of indoor seating.

Local staple. Diner but unique vibe, simple menu and burgers but can't figure out how they make them taste like that. I have to go prob once a week, it's almost always my cheat meal for the week. Breakfast is also amazing, top notch bacon. want a hangover cure? there it is. Price point is low and affordable.

The food was fine, the inside of the place is GROSS, ripped up booths, rusted A/C vents, peeling paint and cob webs from the ceiling, when I brought it up with the manager, he really couldn't have cared less. He told me, they are tearing the place down in a month to build a new building and that the health department has said it's okay, so I guess it's fine to have your dining room be DISGUSTING then, since your building a new place. It's almost as if the manager was offended or put off by me pointing out how much the place was neglected and how dirty and GROSS the ceiling and other things were.

You can always count on getting an old fashioned juicy flat top burger here. I was afraid that my order was a bit complicated when I asked for a bacon cheeseburger with Mayo, added jalapeños without tomato or lettuce. It was exactly what I ordered. All kinds of folks come here in true Austin style, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

The breakfast tacos are a must! Potato, bacon, egg and cheese on a soft flower tortilla is my go to! They have the heaviest tacos with a homemade salsa that's a great combo. I've been going since high school and now every Sunday

We were early for an event and saw Dan's just a few doors down and wanted to give it a try. We were not disappointed. The place reminded us of a 60s diner in decor and feel. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. Best of all, the food was affordable and amazing. Everything was fresh and hot, the burgers juicy, the veggies fresh, and the onion rings had the right amount of breading. We'll have to pin this place on our map to ensure we come back.

The service here is always polite and fast, the curly fries here are absolutely to die for. I would say the only reason why I gave the restaurant three stars was because the burger itself tends to be a little lacking. But highly highly recommend the brownie if you get the opportunity to get it. One of the employees convinced me to get it and I was glad I spend the extra money. It was actually so good. the inside are all booths and it's a super easy spot to just stop and grab your food and go. the atmosphere itself isn't super welcoming when it comes to having a sit down meal with somebody, but if you want something super casual, then I'd say this is a good place for that.

*BREAKFAST REVIEW* () FIRST TAKE - This is one of Austin's hidden gems and it's best kept secret. When you walk in you are taken back into a somewhat old school diner feel. This place is pretty busy, but you're greeted immediately by your waitress and seated fast (5min or less). There are number of tables, including booths to choose from and there's really no bad seat in the house. Once seated, you'll place your order at the table, but remember this is only during breakfast hours. FEASTING - The food was incredible! The selection allows you to have just about anything you want and then some. I had two entrees, because hey why not?! The biscuits and gravy are slamming and the grits, the grits are a must have! Hash browns are a must when it's breakfast time and these are done perfectly. Not too crispy, not too soft, made just like your grandma would back in the day. Lastly, didn't have them this time, but the pancakes here are the best in town! Order one, maybe two, there's no need for a full stack. Trust me on that one. FINAL WORDS - Hands down best price per dollar for food. That goes for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Pro Tip - Ask for Bella, she's goes beyond and above making sure you have everything you need!

Great food, big portions so you can share amongst others, can get busy around brunch time but well worth the wait. Has a old burger joint feel.

Had a hamburger here. It was middle of the eoad but it was also $7.09 with tax for a double burger with two 1/4 lbs patties. Definitely an American joint as you imagine it. Doable, nothing special but better than a fast food place imo. It was an 'emergency' quick late lunch no breakfast solution. Would i go back? Maybe. Definitely hardworking people here. Good alternative for franchised junk food.

Great lil burger place. Really good burgers , fries and onion rings. Prices are more than reasonable.

Really good burger and the young lady who served me was so nice and her personality was great, the only thing that i didn't enjoy was my fries as i could taste the sweetness from the onions as they were cooked in the same oil but it was not a game changer to going back again.

Great burgers but place could use some cleaning. Ingredients seemed fresh and burgers were tasty.

The cheeseburger is really good. Pairs greatly with curly fries and a strawberry shake. Friendly staff and good service. Will definitely eat in restaurant next time!

The best burgers in Austin...Always fresh home made tasting Love the onion rings! Always good!

What can I say here? This is my go to cheeseburger and curly fries place! Hot, greasy, cheesy burger is my guilty pleasure! And they come in different sizes, I get the "baby" cheeseburger which is their small with grilled onions only... and of course curly fries. I don't know who wouldn't order curly fries when it's on the menu! This is your old diner place, not your modern burger joint so don't expect some kind of abstract wall art or modern clean furniture. Counter service and they call out orders thru a microphone for the kitchen staff. I usually feel out of place when I enter the restaurant because I don't recall ever seeing another Asian customer when I'm there but the staff is always friendly and helpful.

Yes for the hamburgers! Thanks for coming with mustard instead of Mayo. 4 stars for the onion rings alone! The fries: no. If there was a drive thru or an easier/faster way to order, it would be 5 stars
