Hungry Austinites know burgers are omnipresent. So what better time to get a taste of it all than during happy hour? Vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, or whatever your diet may be, you’re in for a treat! We did our research and put together a list of 8 local Austin restaurants that feature unforgettable happy hour burgers.

1/ Hillside Farmacy

I wouldn’t be sad if I had to sink my teeth into Hillside Farmacy’s burger and malt fries every day. The restaurant is definitely enables an enabler by offering the pair during happy hour for $12.

Bonus: Go in on Tuesday for an “adult happy meal” to get the burger, fries, and an old fashioned for $15!

Happy hour is 3 to 6 p.m. from Monday to Friday.

Where there’s Aaron Franklin, there’s damn good brisket. Tyson Cole and Franklin’s brainchild restaurant, Loro, recently added a happy hour that features the Loro Burger. It’s a delicious patty made with Franklin’s famous brisket and smoked bavette, topped with mouth-watering red onion brisket jam, muenster, jalapeño aioli, and butter lettuce.

When you’re hungry enough to eat a whole cow, head to Péché to gobble up the Half Pound Burger. The beef patty comes piled high with gruyere and bacon, plus fixings. Usually $18, catch a meat lover’s dream for only $9 during happy hour. I suggest ditching the fork and knife and getting up close and personal with this jumbo burger.

Happy hour is all night Sunday (5 p.m. to 2 a.m.) and Monday (4 p.m. to 2 a.m.), and 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday to Friday.

Happy hour runs from 3 to 6 p.m. daily.

If you were one of the lucky few to have gotten your hands on District Kitchen’s Umami Melt, then get excited. It’s back for the month of July! The final burger on our list is outside the typical happy hour budget, but consider spoiling yourself with a special treat. This shiitake mushroom and wagyu beef burger is topped with a special Japanese island sauce, pickled bok choy, cucumbers, and Delice de Bourgogne cheese from Antonelli’s, then served in a Hawaiian bistro bun.

If you haven’t had a chance to try it, run over to District Kitchen + Cocktails or sister restaurant Oasthouse during happy hour to relish this burger for $17.
