Dan’s double with cheese and japs for under $7.50.

Dan's is my go-to burger, but I rue the day they got rid of fresh jalepenos. A double cheeseburger with grilled onions and grilled jalepenos was heavenly. 

I love me some Dirty's, but the burgers have lacked that little bit of something since the city made them replace the original flat top years ago.

There’s a lot about Austin that I don’t miss.  But damn do I miss those burgers and conversations with Dervin about the nature of the universe and shit.

Y’all in the 512 need to not miss out on Crown/Dervin experience.  He won’t be there forever.

He's there every weekday morning/afternoon.  Great guy.

the crown burger is excellent, on par with dirty's.  when i was in college the hole in the wall had an excellent burger.  sitting in the back room with the pool tables and a cold beer was a nice afternoon.   that burger never gets mentioned in any best of list.  i remember it being larger than crown or dirty's, closer to those at camino el camino.

hole in the wall hasn't had a burger in a long time. 

Last time I ate there was when it had east side king, and that was a long time ago.

Just had 2 for 1 burgers at The League (North Parmer & Avery Ranch). I had a pint draft beer. It is the Monday special.
$26+ tip. 
Burgers cooked to order were very good, and the fries were too. Brought half of it all home for tomorrow. 
We’ll go back.

Pos rep for the bacon on your burger!  We've always thought all of their stores were pretty solid.

You should just make that your signature, then you wouldn't have to type it every time.

Well, we had breakfast at IHOP this morning - I got the Colorado Omelette, she the Senior French Toast. 
I ate half mine, she consumed all hers including the two bacon strips.

For our anniversary dinner at Roaring Fork Saturday, she had the 2 tenderloin sliders, I the 8 ounce filet. We ate it all.

Why do you put 'imo' after everything?  It's not an opinion.

Haven’t had one in ages, but recall it was always damn good.

Ooh busted

It’s not a big deal but I’m legit curious.  It’s s weird, like he’s some kind of burger rainman savant.  NTTIAWWT because I would love to be an aspiring burger connesuier.

Any way, went to Dirty’s yesterday.  Great burger, definitely top of the line but certainly not life altering like I would expect considering the price.  I will eat again for sure once the home equity loan comes through.

That place is good. I don't eat there a ton but will usually try their burger of the month. That pork chop with jalapeno gravy aint bad either.

It's an inside joke from the beer thread from several years back.  As I recall, someone asked him to add commentary to a picture he posted of a beer he was drinking, and so he added "imo" to posts thereafter.  

Or I might be completely wrong. Lotsa beers between then and now.

I suppose you could think of it as the equivalent of "I have spoken."

I went to Dan's for lunch yesterday.  Bacon cheeseburger with hickory sauce.  I mean, it was good, but I'll take Crown or even Whataburger over it.  Curly fries were good.

Reminds me kinda of the bar pies they use to roll out at the Draught Horse. Free pizza on Wednesdays I think it was. Was a sad day when they stopped making the free pizza.

Wut? Dans is much better than Whataburger. Were you at the one up north? I eat at the one off Menchaca regularly and it is always great.

Yeah, the north location.  I rarely get down south.

The Buda one isn’t too bad either.  Still love the old Airport one the best though, especially for breakfast.

Just got burgers at Phil's Ice House on Burnet . . . worst burger I've had in a year.  No pics, it's in the trash.  Do not go.

It's for captive parents. 

I love me some Dirty's, but while excellent, their burgers never regained the level they were at before the City of Austin made them replace their ancient flat top.

The first and last time I had a burger at Phil's many years ago I ended up throwing up all that evening with apparent food poisoning.  I can't remember if I thought the burger was decent or not, but I have a taste aversion to that place and haven't been back for food, just for a beer while my kids are having some ice cream from Amy's.

And now "Smash Burger" is a thing. I loved sitting at the counter watching Wes bang down those patties, it was like watching a performance.
