What People Are Saying About Fran's Hamburgers

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.

Great burgers and fried mushrooms
by janice tran
We saw Fran's on the food network and decided to try it ourselves. They have the BEST hamburgers and fried mushrooms my family and I have ever had! My kids are not fans of hamburgers, but they loved the burgers at FRAN's. I got the jalepeno cheese burger and my husband got the a cheeseburger, both we absolutely delicious!

Best Fried Mushrooms in Austin!
by NancySalse
My family has been going to dans/frans for years. Don't get me wrong, I love Dans hamburgers; but I will make the drive from Buda just to have Frans friend mushrooms. They are not overly battered unlike some places, and are bite sized. The ranch they have there compliments it well.
For awhile Frans had tooken away the mushrooms, you better believe I was there protesting it!
Most def worth the drive. Staff is super friendly.
- Pros: Delicious Mushrooms
- Cons: Hard to find seating during lunch/dinner time

great burger
by hellbilly5001
This place has one of of not the best burger in austin for the price. My wife and I can eat there for under 14 bucks. Shockingly the same as dans it just tastes better ( I dont get it either) Not a huge fan of there fries (there alittle to greasy for my taste) but I go there for burgers not fries. If anyone vists Austin this is a must eat at place in austin. Great Milkshakes too
- Pros: awsome burger
- Cons: not so awsome fries
