Old school location with old fashioned Burgers. Very delicious and tasty Burger. During our visit there was a very long waiting time. Parking is very difficult. Staff very friendly.

A true Texas original and a must visit if you are in the Austin area. They have great hamburgers 🍔 and ice cream 🍦 which are great on a hot Texas day. Great location in downtown Austin near Auditorium Shores and The Long Center for the Performing Arts.

We really wanted a shake and fries at 10pm and Sandy’s did not disappoint. We ordered strawberry shake with Oreos with a chocolate shake and some fries and a corn dog. Forgot to take pictures because we drank and ate everything really fast. All of it was delicious. Don’t forget to order your shakes with malt. The service was quick and friendly. We really appreciate yall!

I love Sandy's!! One of the few old Austin gems still left. Don't expect anything fancy here - that's not the vibe. It's just good old fashioned burgers, fries and shakes. We love to order food and go to the park nearby and eat and sip on the best vanilla milkshakes we've ever had. Even if you just go for the shake (or root beer float), you won't be disappointed 😍.

Well, last hamburger joints in Austin area and I’ll tell you this is like the best hamburger here in Austin beautifully done. The staff is amazing. Everything else is counts with the atmosphere. They even put on oldies music. What a great place what a great hamburger everything tastes so great. I appreciate it. Thank you so much guys!! My dog appreciate the hamburger patty!!

I was staying nearby and this place had tons of reviews so I stopped by. It was a good burger! I enjoy it and I’m glad I went, I’d eat here again. I got the double with cheese. Forgot to take the pic before eating.

The greatest fast food burger in Austin by far. Maybe even the greatest burger in Austin. They use good quality meat and ingredients, and don’t over complicate things. A lot of fast food burgers kinda make me sick, but never Sandy’s! They also have great fries with fresh tasting fry oil. Some day I will try the custard, it looks delicious. Thank you!

Great burgers at a very reasonable price! The fries were also tasty, some of the best i've had in a while! Totally reccomend visiting for a short lunch break. The old-fashioned hamburger is definitely worth a try. Only outdoor seating available here and a drive-thru, so it may not be a good choice if you're looking to sit and eat on a hot day.

You just walk up to the window, place your order, and they call out your number when it’s ready. So easy and SO GOOD! A classic burger place that gives you huge portions, delicious juicy burgers, and they even do dipped cones. What else could you want?

Seems to always be a long line, so I thought I'd try this place out. Although the line seemed long it only took about 10 minutes to get through. Ordered a combo and it was good! Will have to go back to try their ice cream. Highly recommend. Quick service and order was correct.

Sandy's Hamburgers is a hidden gem! Great quality food with very reasonable prices! I ordered the Cheeseburger Combo with Chili Cheese Fries and a Root Beer for just a bit over $10! This was on a Saturday and believe they had a bit of a special going on, but same same. The food was phenomenal. I went back in line to order the ice cream waffle cone dipped in chocolate, and loved it. It's outdoor ordering and seating with a drive thru option. Sandy's was packed with hungry customers and it was worth the wait. Give this place a try!

It is a small little Burger joint that offers American favorites: burgers, fries, shakes, cones. It has an old retro style, picnic tables for eating and matching mood music. Although it wasn't the "worlds best burger," it was pretty darn good. Fries were great too! We wanted to have ice cream but we were full. The hand dipped cones we saw looked delicious! I wouldn't put too much thought into the 2 and 3 star reviews from "expert" guides. The long, constant lines speak for themselves!

Sandy's was a great treat after visiting Barton Springs. Made me feel like a kid again. Playing in the water all afternoon and finishing the day with a delicious meal. Burgers, fries and a drink for under $10 is amazing! The burger was perfect, and fries were great. We even tried a vanilla shake...bro, that shake slap harder than Will Smith at an award ceremony! Definitely recommend.

If you miss old-school quick food hamburgers, this is the place to go. Sandy's still serves up a large, fresh, made to order, hot, juicy hamburger. Nothing fancy, just a damn good burger. They have a walk-up window to place your order and then a lot of covered picnic tables out back to sit and eat, or you can drive through and get your food to go. The place next door with the big orange W wishes they still made hamburgers this good. Sandy's will be packed with a line of cars, and full picnic tables and the orange W will be empty. I always get the double meat and cheese combo. It comes with a double meat and cheese buger, fries and a 20oz fountain drink for just under $12 plus tax. The burger is amazing, the fries are standard fries, but they are always hot with just the right amount of crisp and salt. And don't pass up on the corndogs either.

Sandy's is a must-try burger place in Austin. While Austin boasts many delicious burger joints, Sandy's distinguishes itself with its old-fashioned burgers. The patty size is perfectly matched to the bun, and they use fresh tomato slices instead of ketchup. Each bite is filled with fresh ingredients. Plus, the service is fast. Their dipped cone is the perfect dessert after the meal. Highly recommended!

There are so many memories. My grandmother and I would go walking all over town and shopping on the weekends when i was a child.. She would bring me here for ice cream to keep cool or their delicious burgers. I had fun standing in line. The wait is well worth it. Ask anyone standing in line with u...lol. Also, it's a great place to meet beautiful women. I know I did! 🤠😎

This place was a HIT!!! The burgers tasted like our burger spot in our hometown. Delicious! Meat was real, toppings fresh, bread was soft and it was the size of burgers used to be! Chili dog was delicious! If you are in Austin, do not skip this place! Their combo special for $7.99 on Thursday & Saturday was perfect for our family!

My son likes going to Sandy's for some reason. He asks at least once a week "Can we go to Sandy's" I think it's the chocolate shakes more than the burgers. I don't eat burgers but they look good!

I had the double cheeseburger combo. Price was good, food was fresh with fresh ingredients. Fries were hot and crispy, and drink was satisfying. Overall food, atmosphere, and service was great. I went on a Sunday around 1 so parking was great. Plenty of parking space.

Matthew Estrada

The food was amazing and a great value. Probably the best home style burger I've had in awhile. It was served extremely quickly and was hot and fresh. The stand outs are the butter toasted buns and the juicy meat. I would ask for extra cheese tbh as the flavor didn't come through over the strength of the beef. What I loved the most was that the bigger wasn't soggy! Dipped Ice Cream cone good, though I think the machine could be a bit colder on the soft serve as it was melting super fast more so than other dipped cones I've had. My only gripes so far is that they don't accept American Express, and that they could benefit from some bubbly personalities, I felt like i walked up to an NPC and they were soft locked. First impressions matter carry a lot of weight.

Service was fast and friendly and the price point is good, but the food was otherwise pretty basic. Good burger and fries but nothing to write home about. I was mostly disappointed in the oreo “sundae” which had no sauce or anything, just vanilla ice cream with some cookie crumbs on it. I should’ve gotten a dipped cone or root beer float. Whole meal cost me about $12-13.

Matt Padron

Great place! Their ice cream. Creamy, rich, and delicious, it's the perfect. Whether you opt for a cone, a sundae, or a shake, you won't be disappointed by the quality and taste of their frozen treats. While the food and ice cream are fantastic, the ice cream did melt way too quickly, but I really can't blame them since no one can control Texan Heat!! Overall, Sandy's is a great place! Recommended!

Sandy’s Hamburgers offers a nostalgic twist on classic American comfort food: burgers and fries. Order at the walk up window and your number is called when the order is ready. They have a surprising number of picnic tables around back (covered). The single patty OG burger felt like too much bun per burger but the double patty tasted like a real burger and was decent. Fries are tasty. Ice cream comes dripping and melts fast. It was difficult to understand the order-taker, and there were a surprising number of 'options' for what feels like a simple selection, making the ordering process confusing. Overall, if you're craving a solid, old-school burger and fries, Sandy’s delivers. Just don’t expect a gourmet sit-down experience—it’s more about flavor and nostalgia than ambiance.

My burger was poorly prepared. I ordered a double meat and cheese + bacon + everything on it. My burger only had the two patties and bacon in it. Nothing else on it. No cheese, no lettuce, no pickles, no tomatoes, nothing, dry. I unfortunately was not able to ensure my order was done as I ordered since I had to leave right away. It was very busy at the time I ordered so I understand confusions and mistakes. I’d definitely come back and try this place again though, because I was treated very well by staff and regardless of mistakes, the burger was good. I’d just recommend to double check orders before with customers sending them to the kitchen and before giving them to the customers.
