Editorial Review for Fran's Hamburgers – by Dallas Dickenson

In Short
Located in Austin's so-called "SoCo" district, Fran's is a traditional burger-n-fries greasy spoon in south Austin. At Fran's, they serve burgers, with or without cheese, in three sizes--oh, and onion rings or fries. Maybe a shake or a soda, but your options are limited to chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. There's nothing fancy at Fran's, but that's the way the mix of business types and truck-drivin' men like it.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The hanmburgers here are reminiscent of those homemade hamburgers done with handcut fries by your mother on a Sunday Afternoon. The fried mushrooms are the best i have ever tasted. The products they use are definetley fresh, crisp and tasty. You could go to a gourmet place to grab a burger, but why? Going to Fran's reminds me of Alice's diner a little from that T.V. show, the smell off beef frying on the grill is thick in the air, and the service is fast and freindly, if you ask me eating a burger is more than just the taste, whih is exceptional here,it's also about the attitude in which it is presented. Highly recommended!!!

Pros: Hamburgers, Mushrooms, Fries

Cons: Long Wait, Crowded

4 Star Rating: Recommended

Best burgers in Austin. Greasy too. Don't go there on a diet but if you're not on a diet then you will be very happy with the burgers. The must've recently cleaned their soda machine because it started tasting a lot better.

Pros: Best burgers, Good fries, Inexpensive

Cons: Soda can taste funny
