Dave’s Hamburgers
This post finds me inside a mall eating at a food court. That’s how sad the burger scene is here in North Austin. Learned of this place just the other day so decided to give it a try. It’s a local mom-n-pop joint in an unlikely spot–the food court at Lakeline Mall, next to the Chick-Fil-A and the Subway and the other generic food court eateries.
My low expectations (given the locale) were exceeded by the friendly staff (defninte mom-n-pop feel to it) and the good enough burger. I got the 1/4 lb. combo. They use fresh beef and cook it on a grill, so there was some flame-kissed flavor. Cheddar cheese is available, which is a plus. The bun reminded me of Moonie’s–a tad sweet tasting. Top and bottom bun toasting in evidence. Both buns were slathered with ample mayo–no DBS (dry bun syndrome) here.
Fries were ho-hum frozen seasoned fries.
So not bad for a food court. Friendly mom-n-pop spot. Conveniently located across from Frederick’s of Hollywood. Certainly not a great burger, and I wouldn’t make a special trip to the mall just to eat there, but it’s worth a stop if you need a break between Dillards and Spencer’s.
