"Hat Creek started as a food truck in 2008 before eventually expanding to more than two dozen locations across Texas. The menus mostly follow the classic burger-joint format—burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, salads, and milkshakes—but Hat Creek also has a handful of lettuce wraps, paleo/keto bowls, and chicken nuggets. The verdict: On our last couple of visits, our burger and fries were salted to the point of no return. But with this many locations, we can only hope that was a series of unfortunate flukes. The thick-cut pickles and hinged bun are nice touches, though." - nicolai mccrary

Their burger leans oversalted, but the thick-cut pickles and the toasted, hinged bun are nice touches that make this feel a little fancier than fast food." - Nicolai McCrary
"The casual Texas chain’s Burnet Road location serves up those good burgers and shakes, and there’s even an outdoor playscape to entertain kids. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Darcie Duttweiler
"With eight Austin-area drive-thrus, Hat Creek Burger Company has come a long way since opening as a food truck in 2008. Now all over Texas, it’s easier than ever to get that Big Hat double-patty burger fill. Takeout orders can be placed online." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Near the University of Texas at Austin and bustling downtown, the Burnet Road Hat Creek Burger Co. emphasizes family service: they offer a playground for kids with nearby seating for mom and dad and say they love families despite the busy surroundings." - Courtney E. Smith
