What People Are Saying About Dan's Hamburgers Inc

In Short – This rough-around-the-edges burger-joint has been Austin owned and operated since its inception. Order at the counter, just like in the days of old. Those with droopy eyes and pounding heads opt for a greasy, hangover-fixin' breakfast of fried eggs, hash browns and salty sausage. Pancakes, cheesy omelettes and breakfast tacos are some other early morning favorites. Then there's the basics: Burgers, fries and thinly sliced onion rings, all washed down with thick chocolate shakes.

Dan's the man...
by wjaxon at Citysearch
Been eatin' hamburgers at Dan's (and yes, I admit... Fran's, too) forever. Now I feel like kids in a divorce having to choose between the two. Happily, I love 'em both!
- Pros: Best Hamburgers, esp. with jalapenos!
- Cons: Sometimes the large dbl. meat & cheese bun falls apart...

Unimpressed... tastier burgers can be found elsewhere... I WISH THERE WAS AN IN-N-OUT HERE!

I had several locals tell me the history of this burger joint & how great their food is. So my hubby & I tried it today. The place was packed, but service was quick. We got our order hot & fresh... took a bite into it, and wasn't impressed. The burger was definitely better than Mighty Fine's or any other fast food joints out there.
I still say an IN-N-OUT "animal-style" burger is unbeatable. After eating one, you want another! The burgers are packed w/ flavor. Not just some greasy patties dressed w/cheese & bacon. Unfortunately, IN-N-OUT's are only in Cali, AZ, & Vegas. So if you're looking locally... check out P.Terry's on S.Lamar & Barton Springs. The burgers are tasty & the fries are similar to IN-N-OUT's -- a freshly cut potato that's never been frozen. =)

Good, Not Great.

Dan's offers a perfectly respectable burger that will satisfy most burger cravings. Not greasy (enough). Burger was served hot, ingredients were fresh and of high quality, and the patty was juicy. Very nice and the service was prompt. Although this burger is not the greatest, it ranks up there and is more memorable that Hut's. Unless you are absolutely craving Dirty Martin's, this place will do. By the way, the shakes are definitely thick. Like the burgers, they are not the best in town, but I would certainly order one again.
The Lamar location is infinitley better than any experience I've had with the one on Manchaca.
Although Dan's can be considered as being truly Austin, it simply lacks the "Keep Austin Weird" personality of a place such as Dirty Martin's. Still, Dan's is what it is and although it isn't perfect, I'd hate to see it change.
- Pros: Everything I've had has been very good.
- Cons: I'll probably never crave anything from Dan's.
The Details on Dan's Hamburgers Inc
Know Before You Go:
Dan's and the South Congress Fran's used to be one and the same--used to be. She got half, he got half. They're both definitely worthy of a fun taste-of-Austin test for visiting meat-o-philes.
