Short Stop Austin Reviews
Well cooked food. Very friendly staff. Enjoy the experience!
Honest good food. Simple menu. Great value. Only two park benches to eat, so plan on grabbing food via drive thru and eating somewhere else.
Best Kept secret when it comes to great burgers with the best prices for their combo meals
Best burgers but I feel like my debit card information was stolen at the location at 79 and IH 35 in Austin, Texas
Best burger in town!! Came to get a Saturday Special and James the manager was on point. Fresh burger fresh fries!!.. Best service. Can't beat the price!! You really need to get a taste of this burger.
Best burger ever but I feel like my debit card information was stolen at the location at 79 and I H 35 in round Rock
Delicious home style burgers, reminiscent of Burger Time burgers. Chicken tenders are very good. Service is good, fries are like a better version of McDonald's fries. My son doesn't like burgers and he loves these. There are no kids meals (I shared with my son). The benches outside need better lighting and pest control as there's ants. Will revisit when in town again.
I only got on Wednesday and Saturday for there special. Food was great and hot service was fast even though there was a line.
The fries are airy and crispy, salted perfectly. The chili is delicious. If you get the chili cheese hotdog, however, the to-go packet might touch all the cheese and a good amount of chili so you’ll be left with no cheese- just speaking from experience. The double burger is mid. The service is good. The parking lot does not have enough space so you cannot realistically park your car and eat there especially if there is another car at the parking lot.
5 star!!! The tea was a bit over steeped, but let me tell you... I'd use the slightly bitter tea to wash down that AMAZING burger any day. Seriously, the best burger I've had in a long time. Fries were fresh. Price was right. Fast service.
First time at Short Stop in Austin! We always ask the locals whenever we travel where are the best places to eat. We wanted a simple, to go burger (drive up only). What we got was one of the best damn burgers we ever ate. Simple and yummy, just like a Feast Burger from back home, fries were perfect, the prices were on point also🫶🍔🍟 check it out peeps🤎🤘
Incredible customer service and courteousness. Everybody at this location is friendly and has a big smile from the window all the way to the cooks. Food came out fast was hot and fresh and exactly what I've come to expect from shortstop. Nothing short of a great experience at this location!
One of my local favorites that is still left from the 80's. My favorite is a number 3 combo which is a double meat double cheese. I ask for no pickles, no onions , with mayo and no mustard, add bacon, jalapenos, well done on the patties. What a great place I hope it stays open forever!!! The chicken tenders are also underrated!!
I haven’t tried my food yet, but Bernice (I hope I spelled this right), y’all were very busy, and yet you weren’t skipping a beat with a positive voice, clarifying my order, and handing me my soda with a great big smile on your face. Short stop had a line on both sides, and walk up’s. All eating their food. Quick service. Bernice, your customer service skills are the reason I pulled over to leave this review before even trying my food. Establishment’s employing humans like Bernice are vital in an atmosphere to grab a quick lunch during a stressful workday. Thank you.
Play Make a good burger. Everything was fresh. I'm not real sure about the cheese though that was on it. Not sure what kind of cheese they use. They were quick and I was out of there. Their fries had no salt on them. Be nice if they salted the fries. I got iced and it was good. Just no ice. Had to ask for more.
Very good burgers. We only waited 20 seconds and got hot burgers. The guy was very nice. Unfortunately you can’t sit in the store.
Burger is average at best. Not much flavor to the meat. Seems like basic low quality fast food. Nothing special here. Fries were good but unsalted.
Anyone who rates this place higher than 3 stars was probably either high, drunk, or nostalgic. This place has the some of the laziest, blandest burgers you’ve ever had in your life, albeit presentable. I’d take any fast food chain over this.
Service is the same quality however the food has gone downhill
I just came and do my order at short stop 2217 E th st Austin Tx 78702 and when I look at the back of the shelf, they don’t even pull hand glove on while making my order and then I asked the lady what is your name she said her name is Lola and I asked her your don’t pull glove on she say we don’t put glove on I don’t like this food. I need my refund back.
