There are a lot of places making burgers in Austin, but only the best of the best stake a claim to our bucket list.

Here in sunny Austin, it’s pretty much always barbecue season—meaning there’s never a time when a patty and bun isn’t appreciated. And as we reunite for pool parties, sports matches, lunch dates, and good old-fashioned tailgate pregaming, the big question is ‘Where’s the best burger in town?’&nbsp;

Fear not, Southerners—Austin has enough beef (not to mention faux beef) to keep us fed and happy until the cows come home (the ones that aren’t mincemeat, at least). Whether you’re in the mood for a sloppy, rolled-up-sleeves situation or a white tablecloth affair, here’s everything you need to build the ultimate burger bucket list.

This inventive food truck on the lawn of Cosmic Coffee and Beer Garden sources all their meat from small, responsible Texan ranchers before firing them to perfection. The L&amp;L is their richest and tastiest, made with a smoked, reverse-seared half-pound Texas Akaushi brisket patty, melted American cheese, house made pickles, chopped and grilled onions, and housemade beet barbecue mayo, all on a Martin’s potato roll. A side of Kale Caesar Slaw should help fan the flavor. How to book: Stop by for counter service or order take-out <a href="https://my-site-103543-104592.square.site/" target="_blank">online</a>.

This butcher shop and salumeria serves up quality local and sustainable meats at their 7th street patio, where it’s totally acceptable (and encouraged) to pair wine with your burger (their lineup of Texas-born wine deserves special shout out). The Signature Burger was such a hit that it spawned two forthcoming spinoff properties—both called The Butcher Burger—set to open in Austin and Houston later this year. It features a half-pound beef patty, prepared daily with steak trimmings, layered with mayo and sour pickles and tucked into a sweet-yet-savory brioche bun. An order of deliciously crispy beef fat French fries sweetens the deal.&nbsp; How to book: Reserve via <a href="https://resy.com/cities/atx/salt-and-time-butcher-shop?date=2021-06-24&amp;seats=2" target="_blank">Resy</a>, order take-out&nbsp;<a href="https://saltandtime.revelup.com/weborder/?establishment=2" target="_blank">online</a>, and get delivery via&nbsp;<a href="https://www.favordelivery.com/order-delivery/salt-and-time-8295/1912-e-7th-st-austin-tx-78702-15471/" target="_blank">Favor</a>.

Texan grad squad Saad, Zain, and Isha launched Buddy’s in June 2020 and subsequently got a generation of burger addicts, well, addicted. The trio harnessed trusty family recipes for Smack sauce and seasoned fries using 11 homegrown spices, and focused on creating quality to-go options during lockdown. The menu is short and simple, using natural stunners like 100% Angus beef patties handmade fresh daily. Go for the Spicy Burger with Jack cheese, jalapeños, and Smack sauce if you like a kick with your meat, then cool down with an Oreo milkshake.

Draught Haus was doing craft beer back when people thought IPA meant isopropyl alcohol. You could sit in their parking lot and drink beer and espouse your love for whatever non-domestic you were downing. They’ve evolved with the trend, keeping hip to the hops, brewing their own and continuing to be creative with their taps. There’s history here and it would be a shame to see it go the way of so many pandemic-pummeled businesses. You can pick up to go by ordering pints, pitchers, and growlers online for contactless pickup.

Oz. Tap House

Oz Tap House

This intimate East Austin pub pulls no punches when it comes to having the best beer on tap. Hi Hat tends to attract neighbors and service industry folks who stop in for lunch and a pint. They rotate taps frequently (as any self-respecting beer bar should), and have some heavy hitters like Mind Haze from Firestone Walker, and the elusive (512) Pecan Porter Nitro. The menu is American with a gastropub feel, offering items like a New Mexico Green Chile Burger and spicy brussels plus brunch! Call ahead to get a spot, drop on by if they’re not crowded, or take-out.

Workhorse is the kind of place where you’d typically belly up and order a beer but for the moment, they’re doing pickup or delivery via Favor and Doordash. At this moment you won’t be able to sit elbow-to-elbow with your next best friend, you can indulge in their excellent grass-fed burgers, sweet potato fries, and those addictive seasoned pretzels. Over 30 of its 50 taps are local drafts and you can enjoy those frosty bevs at home by picking up a growler.&nbsp; How to order: Open for <a href="https://workhorsebar.e-tab.com/workhorsebar#!/order-type" target="_blank">curbside</a> or delivery from <a href="https://www.grubhub.com/restaurant/workhorse-bar-100-north-loop-boulevard-east-austin/1907793" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer sponsored">Grubhub</a>, <a href="https://www.doordash.com/store/workhorse-bar-austin-61611/en-US" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer sponsored">DoorDash</a>, <a href="https://postmates.com/merchant/workhorse-bar-austin-1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer sponsored">Postmates</a>, or <a href="https://favordelivery.com/order-delivery/workhorse-bar-2642/100-north-loop-blvd-e-austin-tx-78751-6070/" target="_blank">Favor</a>
