really not that great.... We stopped at Sandy's to cure a milkshake craving and my fiance got a chocolate malt and I got a vanilla. The two flavors were nearly indistinguishable from one another. And they gave us thin straws that were impossible to s*ck the milkshake through. And the lady who took our money and gave us the milkshakes had a scowl on, not very friendly at all. Maybe on any other day with any other food item they're great but... for just a milkshake... not so great.

Barton Springs institution serves delicious, cheap burgers.. In Short
Sandy's neon custard cone with the birdie on top has been a fixture along Barton Springs for several decades. There's always a line in the drive-through and folks settle at picnic tables scattered around the parking lot. Classic burgers, fries and famous frozen custard are the draw. A cheeseburger offers various combinations of double meat, double cheese, double bun.

Sandy's or Short Stop?. Sandy's is very good, but let's everyone just chill out a little with the praise pertaining to it being "one of a kind" and "Austiny". Sandy's is really a Short Stop with a different outside. You'll notice the menus are exactly the same and the specials are the same, just different days. I will say though that the food is good, just like Short Stop's food is good.

User review by billrobishaw. reminds me of another era when gas was cheap, and I mean under 50 cents, that's right not under 2 dollars.

Dallas to Austin. My daughter lives in Austin now, I live in Dallas...one of my trips down to visit I saw that sign FROZEN CUSTARD! I thought I had died and gone to heaven...I make a special trip to Sandy's for Frozen Custard every chance I get when down in Austin. The only time I could ever get frozen custard was at the State Fair of Texas when I was a kid. Well...that has been some time ago and the fair does not offer this delicacy any longer. I highly recommend trying one of these frozen confections after a great burger. J Smith

I heart Sandy's. I enjoy going to Sandy's for the great burgers and frozen custard!

I tried to make a ritual of going every Sunday but unfortunatly I moved south and am a little further away to make the trip. What can I say? I am a lazy Austinite! But, I really recommend Sandy's, I love that place!

Excellent Old Time Burger Joint. I have been to Sandy's many times and have always gotten good food and fast service, especially since there is a line everytime I go. Great cones!
