May 8, 20232 yr 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.

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.

June 8, 20232 yr 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.

June 12, 20232 yr 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.

We've always thought all of their stores were pretty solid.

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. Edited June 13, 20232 yr by Armybrat

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.

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." Edited June 18, 20232 yr by utee94

June 28, 20232 yr 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.

July 10, 20232 yr 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.
