Use the comment feature to tell me about your favorite Austin based hamburger joint. OK OK we might have to extend it to the Hill Country since one of my favorites is off near Marble Falls.

It is not in Austin proper, but we had a kick a one at the Lodge at Lakeway recently. It tasted like it had been cooked outside over a grill.

I'm partial to Hut's. What's the place that you like out near Marble Falls?

Casino El Camino on 6th. Nothing can match the Amarillo burger. 3/4 pound of Angus beef, cilantro mayo and roasted serrano peppers. Be prepared to wait 30-45 minutes for it to cook. The wait is well worth it!

Another vote for Dirty's. After all, a 78-year-old burger joint has GOT to have built up enough grease to be about good by now. I still miss Doc, and wonder WHAT I'm gonna do when Wesley finally retires.

Posse East. Yup.

Casino el Camino. It's probably a good thing the service there is so slow, or I'd eat there a lot more and be big as a house. The burgers are amazing.
Dirty's? Come on. I tried them once and barely lived to tell the tale.

South: Fran's (and the Double jalapeno cheeseburger in particular).
Downtown: Casino El Camino's (with the Buffalo Burger being my personal favorite).
