A unique old school dive bar and counter order food service. This burger comes highly recommended and is considered by many to be top ten in Austin. We ordered 2 burgers, both had large patties and were cooked perfectly to order. I was not overly impressed and thought it lacked in flavor. The meat was under seasoned and the condiments were bland. We tried the cheese curds, and found them to be mediocre. The drinks are typical baseline 6th street drinks.

If you’re in Austin and even thinking about grabbing a burger, stop searching and head straight to Casino El Camino. My daughter and I just had the Chicago and KC burgers, and I can honestly say they’re among the best burgers we’ve ever had — anywhere. The moment you walk in, the place hits you with that unmistakable Austin character: dim lighting, rock‑and‑roll attitude, and a bar that feels lived‑in in the best possible way. It’s the kind of spot where you instantly know the food is going to be legit. And it absolutely is.

Saw a reddit post saying this was the best spot for a burger in Austin TX, and yeah... They were correct 🥰 Best burger I've had on a long time!! Price was good and the burger was huge!! Absolutely delicious and glad I stopped in!

The best food downtown. By far. Heads up all the burgers default to pink in the center, and if you don’t want that, TELL THEM. They will make it quickly how you want it. I told them well done aka “hockey puck” style, and they nailed it. They will also mess with you as you order, it’s part of the charm. Don’t be turned off by the rough around the edges charm. This place is a treasure of delicious food and the king of buffalo sauce. Also, they have the best cranberry juice I’ve ever had. TBH I’d have casino el Camino cater my wedding if they’d do it.

Def my favorite burger in Austin. This is a butger bar that has a grungy atmosphere. Burgers are delicious you cant go wrong with any one you pick. They also have specials with burgers and desserts that change every now and then.

Casinos is a 6th St staple! The vibes check you at the door and you're in for a helluva good time. The top off is the kitchen. Zack’s food is a must, the best burgers & fries in town!! Bonus is that they also have gluten free and veggie options across the menu. Be sure to stop when you’re stomping downtown!!

We’ve been in for drinks before but tonight had time to try out the food. I have friends who rave about them and I finally get it. The kitchen staff are all super cool & make it fun. I liked watching them mess with the tourists. lol. These are the biggest and best quality burgers I’ve had in years. The bread is fresh, burgers cooked perfectly, and toppings are great. We loved the sweet potato waffle fries with Parm on top! The basket was huge and more than enough to share for 2-3 people. We sat in the back patio & it was a nice little oasis where you didn’t feel like you were in the middle of the city. Can’t wait to go back!

Irene Virag

The quality of this burger is unrivaled. The beef itself tastes so fresh and delicious that the toppings are a just a side note, although still equally fresh and delicious! This was my first time back in years and I was so pleasantly surprised that nothing had changed! 🙌 Still delicious, still badass, still authentic Austin. Love this place.

Peter Guglielmino

Great place for a burger. The burgers are the thicker patties (more restaurant style) and very delicious. They are cooked well, the topping options taste good, and the fries arent just the standard restaurant supply store fries. Worth going for a solid burger

Jason Peake

Love it here! Vibe is awesome, they play old crazy movies and music is great. Their food is incredible, love the burgers Great low key spot on 6th compared to everything else around!

We were visiting for a reunion and this was our 'Hair of the Dog' lunch location. We came to the door and noticed a small pup on a leash inside, and since we had a service dog in our party asked if they could get the owner to contain it while we went by. The bouncer helped us immediately and we trooped in to an upstairs location. Even though it was an off time it was slammed and the music was hopping. Pool tables had games running and the kitchen window had a line. A bartender suggested we try the outside patio for a quieter place to nurse our hangovers and wait for food. We set up several patio tables outside and proceeded to enjoy our cold drinks and a quieter environment. The decorations outside definitely didn't match the interior dive bar vibes but both seemed to flow oddly enough. The only suggestions we would have would be to lower music volume a little longer for food orders being called (it was hard to catch names) and add some misting fans outside. Thanks for treating us to some amazing burgers and brews! It was a treat!

The BEST burger I’ve had in such a long time and dare I say in my LIFE? What a wonderful day this was to experience something so wonderful. If you’re coming to Austin, take some time to visit, it’s worth it.

Remember to Tip. Even if your order is to-go. It's worth it. The burger is the truth!! I got the Chicago burger!! The simplicity and quality!! Pattie done well and proper, crispy and juicy too. You can cut the burger into twice and it will hold, that says a lot. Absolutely no unnecessary sauce, still tastes heavenly. Also, I got the wings too and honestly. This is the best Buffalo wings I've had!! The simplicity too. No unnecessary breading, the buffalo sauce remains the best I've had! Only regret was not tipping proper!! Will surely make up for it next time I'm in town. It's an easy 9.7/10

If you ask people from Austin where to get a good burger in the city, you're going to hear the name Casino El Camino come up a lot. Since 1994, Casino El Camino has been slinging burgers, dogs, sandwiches wings and fries to patrons with beer and shots of Tequila or Jack on the side. Located on 6th Street, not where all the frat boys and millennials hang out, but Dirty Sixth where punk and metal sounds pulse loudly through the speakers even at lunch. I went with friends Sandy and Jeff Putnam, and together we sampled three burgers, wings and verde chili fries. Several of the burgers were recommended by the owner, Casino, who stopped by to say hi while paying a few bills at the bar. He led with the Amarillo, which he said is by far their top seller. All of burgers weigh in at three- quarters of a pound. The Amarillo is covered with roasted Serrano chilis, jalapeño jack cheese and brushed with a cilantro mayo. They suggest putting the burger on a jalapeño cheddar bun, but regular buns are also available. Go with their suggestion! So obviously there is some heat to this choice, but everything works well together. The burger was grilled to medium and the bun held all that beef really well. It was a bit messy with the mayo put on a little too heavy for some but I enjoyed the cilantro taste which was able to shine through the peppery bites. Sandy went with the LA Burger, slightly modified for some health restrictions. BTW for a dive bar they were great in working with things she couldn't eat. Stacked on another large patty, the LA had lettuce, spinach tomatoes and avocado. Condiments on the west coast inspired burger included a lemon vinaigrette and a smoked shallot aioli. I got to try a bite of her choice and I really enjoyed how the aioli tasted with the beef. Her burger was cooked a little less than medium. Sandy felt it needed a little more salt and pepper on it. While I enjoyed the burger, I would probably not order it if I went back. The Pitts Burger might need to be sampled on that visit along with Double Dog Texas Tommy. Back to our final burger, and second recommended by Casino, the Madison Burger. This burger was actually a beer-braised pork belly served with a Shiner Bock gastrique, jalapeño jack cheese, sautéed onions and baconnaise. Jeff and I traded halfs and when I bit into the Madison, I had the same reaction as him, it was very sweet. After the boldness of the peppers on the Amarillo, the sweetness was too much for me. Maybe if I would have had it first I would have enjoyed it more. I wanted my Amarillo half back. Casino said it the second most popular, so give it a try if that is a flavor profile ia something you enjoy. Sandy is a fry connoisseur, and was disappointed they were not hand-cut. I am not a big fry guy, but I tried a bunch of them to see how the verde chili flavoring tasted. Excellent, but I would ask for a side of the sauce to dip them. Not sure if they offer it, but if not, get some of smoked shallot mayo. In talking with Casino he also said they are very traditional in their Buffalo Sauce for the wings - butter and Frank's Red Hot (Anchor Bar would be proud). The wings were large and the sauce was excellent. However the wings themselves were just average. Here is why. I watched the cook drop the raw wings directly into the frier. While there is nothing wrong with that, and yes they were cooked through, they did not have the consistency I like in a non-breaded wing. I prefer wings that have been cooked off first, most often in the oven or even steamed at some places. You get a different feel on the outside and inside the meat falls off the bone better. Again, some people are not as picky as me on wings and the sauce was perfect. All in all, you probably need to try Casino El Camino if you visit Austin. It's a staple downtown that has endured for over three decades. You feel the nostalgia of the place just after you open the front door. Rock on Camino!

Very unique dive bar. It’s like an acid trip in a good way. I knew nothing about this place walking in but it was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and dives. They have a jukebox and were playing old b horror movies. Pool tables upstairs. I wasn’t super hungry and just Got a BLT. There was literally a whole pack of bacon on this thing. The bun was perfectly grilled and the shallot mayo was a nice touch. The big thing to get here are the burgers. My friend got one and it was massive. It was cooked perfectly (Medium unless specified otherwise). Staff was very nice and friendly. There is also a gluten free bun available for $2 extra. I can see this place being very fun after having a few drinks lol. Please enjoy this phone of my friend devouring the burger 🍔

Went for the hamburgers. Just a hint if you don't like a medium burger let them know. The burgers are huge fries were good. You have to go to the counter to order your food and pick it up.

Casino El Camino is a burger joint trying hard to nail the Austin "weird vibe". It is located conveniently down on 6th street if you are headed out on the town. Parking is a pain, as you might expect. It may be one of the best burgers you can get while wandering 6th street. They have an interesting horror eclectic atmosphere with interesting wall flair and two TV's playing old horror movies. The service is largely non-present as they don't really have table service of any sort. There is a bar, a kitchen, and a bouncer...that's kind of it. Seating is limited for the amount of people coming in. The food varies. Burgers are juicy and large, but I could not really see what made them amazing at $15-$20. The menu makes them sound artisan, but none of our eaters could really tell the difference. Drinks come from the bar and refills on water cost money. There are some gluten free options for buns, though not sure on the contaminants on the grill. We saw a lot of people leaving half, or more, of their burgers uneaten...not sure if that says what people thought of the taste or if it was just too big to eat and run out for a night on 6th street. I would avoid the french fry sides that come smothered in sauce...as they are literally smothered in sauce...eats more like a soup than fries. All in all, our diners thought the place was interesting, but the consensus was that none of them planned to return unless they were down on 6th street and needed a burger before enjoying a laugh at Ester's Follies next door.

I don’t know if this is a fluke. But I’ve had great food from here every time until NOW. The burger is literally uncooked. I got a Gluten-Free KC burger and verde fries. The Fries were fine but the burger was botched. On a non-busy Thursday night I really don’t get it…
