Nestled in St. Elmo Brewing's beer garden, Patty Palace serves up crave-worthy smash burgers with crispy edges and a cozy vibe that pairs perfectly with an ice-cold beer.
" Sometimes you want a thick, juicy burger with a little ribbon of pink through the middle. Other times you just want a patty that’s smashed so thin it might get mistaken for an ancient piece of papyrus. Patty Palace is for when you want the latter. It’s a lot like the popular Bad Larry Burger pop-up, but without the need to set an alarm and wait in a long line to get it. That means super-smashed patties with crispy lattice edges, grilled onions, a few slices of pickles, and some mustard or special sauce. And, instead of waiting for an Instagram alert, you can get it almost any night of the week and pair it with whatever beer you want from St. Elmo Brewing, where Patty Palace is parked.

"Patty Palace makes our favorite smashburger in town. It also wins the award for “Thinnest Patty That Might Get Mistaken For An Ancient Piece Of Papyrus.” These patties are almost paper-thin with a dark crust that looks like it’s bordering on burnt but without the accompanying bitterness. It’s well-seasoned, the bun is toasted nicely, and there’s just enough special sauce to prevent those thin patties from feeling too dry. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"There are only two main items on the menu at Patty Palace—a burger trailer at St. Elmo Brewing in South Austin—a beef smashburger and a veggie burger. And while the veggie burger might not have the same thin and griddled consistency of its beef counterpart, when it’s a housemade patty made from mushrooms, chickpeas, carrots, lentils, and probably a ray of sunshine, thicker is better. This veggie burger arrives heavily griddled—with a crisp and dark outer layer—and gets topped with grilled onions. And since this is at a brewery, you can grab some great beers to go with it, something that can please both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

There are only two main items on the menu at this burger trailer at in South Austin—a beef smashburger and a veggie burger. The beef version is about as classic as they come, with super-smashed crispy-edged patties, grilled onions, a few slices of pickles, cheese, and some mustard or special sauce. And you can get it without waiting in a long line like you might find at other hyped-up burger spots. The veggie version is made with a housemade patty of mushrooms, chickpeas, carrots, lentils, and probably a ray of sunshine. It’s a little thicker than its beefy counterpart, but it holds together surprisingly well and never feels like a second-place option. " - Nicolai McCrary
