This locals-only restaurant has not changed with the times. Embrace the flashback décor and see why Richard Linklater's 1970's period piece, Dazed and Confused, was shot on the doorstep of this famous Austin burger joint. Dine in, take out, or order up from the car. Renowned for their fried chicken as well as burgers like the Top Pick with hickory sauce, they have been serving up what hungry Austinites crave for over thirty years.

Like a Quaint Burger King

by cdhkmmaes at Citysearch

Go here for decor, not the food. The food is mediocre -- basically equivalent to Burger King. Overcooked, dried out burgers made from cheap meat. Little foil packets of lemon juice instead of fresh lemons for your drink. Onion rings that are just plain bad.

  • Pros: Decor
  • Cons: Food
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Awesome Burgers and Chicken for Little $$$

by dp777 at Citysearch

Top Notch is without a doubt a place that is stuck in the past. From the old school decor and building to the cash only business model to the food prep. That is what makes this place so great, the burgers are cooked on an honest to goodness indoor grill right behind the register. It should be noted that they serve the thin patty burgers, so if you want to a thicker burger just add on an extra patty. The burgers were cooked to perfection, nice grill flavor with a hint of seasoning served on a lightly toasted bun. Normally I'm not much of a chicken fan, but the fried chicken literally falls off the bone and features a wonderfully seasoned flaky crust. This place is a must visit, but please note it is cash only (ATM is inside) and it closes at 8!

  • Pros: Incredible burgers, fried chicken, fast, plentiful parking
  • Cons: Cash only, only open till 8 PM
