Hopdoddy Burger Bar: Enjoy Burgers in Austin

January 8, 2015 by

Just like peanut butter and jelly, burgers and craft beers are simply meant to be together. Austin’s Hopdoddy Burger Bar combines these two tasty indulgences, and it does so in a stylish location to boot. The South Congress location is often very crowded, which creates a fun, lively atmosphere that bolsters the restaurant’s overall funky vibe. The inside features modern decor with bold neon green chairs at the number of tables scattered throughout, as well as a spacious outdoor patio perfect for cooler evenings.

Unique burgers made entirely of antibiotic-free beef and housemade buns promise a fresh burger experience. Creative options like the tzatziki-smothered Greek or the Southwestern Terlingua feature Hopdoddy’s numerous toppings, and each one comes with Kennebec fries or chili con queso for even more delicious flavor. Finish your meal with a craft beer or one of Hopdoddy’s thick milkshakes—or splurge for both—and you’ll leave feeling full and satisfied.

Lucky’s Puccias: Try a Grilled Sandwich From This Famous Food Truck

November 24, 2014 by

A puccia is a type of flatbread from the Puglia region in Italy, but in Austin, most people would recognize it as the hearty sandwiches served by the famous Lucky’s Puccias. This often buzzed-about white and orange food truck is located in the Market District area of downtown, and it features a few small tables outside where customers can enjoy their sandwiches.

The menu includes puccia sandwiches made on fresh baked bread and topped with organic ingredients, and then the whole thing is baked in an oven to create a wood-fired taste. The signature sandwich is the Lucky’s Puccia, which features prosciutto, tomato, mozzarella, and chipotle mayo. Other puccias come with a variety of other meats or vegetables to accommodate vegetarian customers.

The wait at Lucky's can be a bit long, but regulars recommend stopping by one of the nearby bars for a drink while you wait for your tasty sandwich. Lucky’s Puccias is open daily.

Franklin Barbecue: Possibly Austin’s Most Buzzed-About Barbecue

October 23, 2014 by

If you’re searching for great barbecue in the South Austin area, simply drop what you’re doing and head to Franklin Barbecue. This old-fashioned barbecue joint uses family cooking traditions passed down from generation to generation, but its brick and mortar location is the ideal blend of Austin’s signature eclectic decor and a sleek, modern flair.

The menu is very small, but each dish is so expertly prepared that you won’t even think of anything else. Plates and sandwiches made with chopped beef, pulled pork, sausage, and other smoked meats are served with your choice of pinto beans, slaw, or potato salad, and Franklin Barbecue has sold out of its famous pulled pork every day since its opening in 2009.

Hailed as one of the top barbecue restaurants in the country by Bon Appetit, the New York Times, Southern Living, and many other esteemed publications, Franklin Barbecue is an absolute must-try Austin restaurant.

Franklin Barbecue: One of Austin’s Best Barbecue Spots

September 25, 2014 by

If the crowds of people waiting in line to enjoy classic Texas barbecue are any indication, Franklin Barbecue is not to be missed. Fans of the place say their brisket is well worth waiting in line for – and the proof is that the eatery sells out of it every day. You can order yours by the pound, on a plate with sides, or in a sandwich.

Barbecue Ribs, Pulled Pork, Sausage, and Turkey are also on the menu here. Delightful side dishes are the hallmark of any good barbecue joint, and Franklin Barbecue offers those, too. Potato Salad, Pinto Beans and Coleslaw are on the menu, as are little four-inch pies for dessert. Flavors include Bourbon Banana, Pecan, Key Lime, and Lemon Chess.

Need a gift for a devoted barbecue fan? Get them a Franklin Barbecue T-shirt, hat or some yummy sauce to enjoy at home.

Franklin Barbecue is open Tuesdays through Sundays, in a spot not too far from tree.
