I like the veggie burgers at Crown and Anchor and the eggplant (although cooked on the same grill as the meat) burger at El Camino.

good list Justin! i haven't been to Nau's in years but I used to love it - so classic smalltown drug store and lunch counter. I also think the richie valens or the beach boy are great topping combos for burgers at huts... where are the best veggie burgers though? personally i like: waterloo ice house - though not homemade and huts but i know there are so so many more, please broaden my horizons

The Richie Valens burger at Hut's rocks. My favorite "burger joint" in Austin is Dirty's, up at the north end of The Drag. But the best burgers in town aren't at a burger place, they're at the lunch counter at Nau's Enfield Drugs, in Clarkesville. Hand-pressed patties, toasted buns, and a chocolate shake. These are the best burgers you can buy just about anywhere.

Thanks Monica! I meant to include the 2 for 1 deal. You do have to order the same 2 for 1, but who cares! It's a really good deal. And you're right, it is veggie on Monday and regular burgers on Wednesday.

I just ate at Hut's for the first time last night and it rocked. It's awesomeness was ballooned by the fact that Mondays are 2-for-1 veggie burger night (and I believe Wednesdays are 2-for-1 any-kind-of-burger night). I think they could have embellished my burger with more fixins, but their delicious veggie burger patty (their home recipe) and the tasty wheat bun made up for it. A friend of mine even said that their fries were the best he's ever had. It's such an incredible deal: burgers for 8 plus a big order of fries plus okra plus 3 soda pops plus 1 malted milk shake cost $31. Even if it weren't 2-for-1 night, the prices are very reasonable.

As the one who commented, "It's because they fry them on the grill with the real burgers," I can say I truly miss Hut's. During the time I lived in Austin, I could always count on Hut's to cure a hangover or take care of a burger craving. The burgers were always the best and no one can compete with the variety. Now, as a New Yorker, I occassionaly think about Hut's. The city that has everything is missing a Hut's.
