Hut's Hamburgers is always a stop for this girl when staying in Austin. This Hut's location originally started in 1939 as Sammie's Drive In. It has been Eli's Lounge and Picante Mexican restaurant. But, in 1969, Homer "Hut" Hutson moved in with Hut's Hamburgers.
At Hut's, they have every and any kind of burger you can desire- in fact 20 listed on the menu ranging from the Tuby's Tickler to the Boodieburger to the Theta Special. Located on West 6th Street, this place is packed at all hours.
For starters, we ordered a half order of onion rings. Their onion rings are HUGE, thick cut onion slices tossed in a black pepper batter. You can make a meal out of these alone- especially when they are dipped into their homemade ranch dressing.
Today, our burgers were just OK. They didn't seem to be the usual Hut's Hamburger. The burgers are filled to the brim with fresh lettuce, onions, tomatoes and pickles. The patties are 1/2 inch thick and seasoned well. The meat is fresh never frozen from Johnny G's Meat Market in South Austin. The fries rock especially when dipped into that homemade ranch.
Overall, Hut's Hamburgers still rocks. If you are not in the hamburger mood, they have daily blue plate specials, buffalo from Thunderheart Bison Ranch, longhorn from Bandera Grasslands, chicken and if you must, veggie burgers. If you find yourself on 6th Street, wonder on down to Hut's Hamburgers. You can also visit their sister restaurant, Frankie and Angie's, for pizza. Neither will disappoint!
