We all know this as fact, but Austin has some of the best food in America. Texas’ capital city was recently featured in this mega list by The Daily Meal, and three local joints have been named among the 101 best burgers in the country. While we may be apt to argue about their placement on the list, there’s no denying their delicious, national appeal. Three of America’s best burgers are here in Austin, and you’ll want to try them all.
This local restaurant came in at number 92 on the list, but it's number one in Austinites' hearts. You can devour this well-crafted burger at their downtown location at 200 Congress Ave or their Domain location at 3121 Palm Way #101.
Don't be fooled by this burger's simple exterior. Wedged between these soft buns is a blend of brisket and chuck. Melted Gruyère adorns the top and a flavorful shallot confit ties it all together. You can easily customize this indulgent meal with as much lettuce, tomato, and sweet pickle as your heart desires. If you really want to kick it up a notch, top this burger with seared foie gras or pork belly.
