Maybe they do have the "best hamburgers in Austin" but there wasn't anything spectacular about them. The shake was good. The service was prompt and employees were friendly.

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

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

Fran's is a great, greasy burger! They are very close to Dan's South (north isn't great), as they were husband and wife at one time. The thing that makes Fran's worth the drive is they serve fried mushrooms as well as fries and o-rings. Her burger also just tastes better.

Pros: Fried Mushrooms

I like the old school feeling of this place. The burgers were very good and the fries weren't bad either.

Editor's Review

A classic burger joint near to downtown and South Congress' hip and happening shopping district.  See the full editorial review.
