Hopdoddy Burger Bar

Burger Joint • Midtown

The menu offers an exemplary burger lineup in the $7 to $12 range, with an emphasis on quality ingredients: buns freshly baked in-house, hand-crafted patties of freshly ground beef (or bison, tuna, or veggies), and homemade condiments. Any conversation about the best burger in Austin has to include Hopdoddy. As the local chain expands westward, we suspect that same conversation is happening in cities wherever Hopdoddy has set up shop.
