Layout was nice. Pack em tight I guess. The burger was cooked the way I asked, well done. It was juicy and looked awesome, but then there wasn't any taste to it. It was bland.

Not bad, but not outstanding either

Tried this place today for the first time, as a coworker had heard good things about it and was only going to go out to lunch if we went to that place. I was initially put off by the long line and the crazy amount of people seated and eating their meals (proof positive that we need more restaurants in the Mopac-Braker-Parmer corridor), but the line moved pretty quickly. I had the junior cheeseburger with bacon, an order of fries and a soda. The food was served fast and relatively hot.

The burger was decent, reminiscent in taste of Red Robin. The bun was nice and maintained its structural integrity throughout. The fries were indeed tasty, but I ended up eating them in fingerfuls as opposed to individual fry units because they were more like tiny fry pieces and not long, individual, discrete potato straws (I hope that's clear). I would judge the fries more soggy than crispy on the whole. They needed more salt.

I won't spoil the surprise, but a certain design feature of the men's bathroom might just give you an unexpected shock when you first notice it. I laughed heartily when I saw it.

Those who haven't tried it, give it a go. You probably won't mess yourself over it, but it was still a decent lunch.

Rock and Roll!

My wife and I absolutely loved it! We're going back and I have send a communique to some folks at Dell. Watch out whomever holds the, "Best Burger In Town," award.

We dug it and looking forward to my next one.

This place has flair!

Instead of ketchup, mayo, and mustard, it's red, white--and not yellow--but yeller! Isn't that a hoot? LOL!

As for the food, they should rename this place "Boring Burger."

Rather have Fuddruckers

Burger was too dry, just like the first time we tried this place, could have saved $38000.00 on that french fry crinkle cut machine. DO NOT ORDER the chili cheesedog er, thingy! It probably tastes ok, but it looks like red food colored flesh mixed with dog food. I want my shakes after my hamburger, not before, why can't they get that concept? We would rather have Fuddruckers, or even Sonic now that I think of it.

Well let's talk!!!

OK after reading review I tried it, i asked for the burger to be medium rare since they tend to be dry, wow it came medium rare so it was juicy!! Burger was good,
but as stated else where the fries were over cooked and I didn't eat many of them.
Very nice and clean place. I will go again if my friends choose to go there.

Decent - but Frenetic

Took me three trips to decide about this place. I'm not sure that the pack'em in three high kind of ambiance, and the over-cafeinated "Mighty-Fine" that the line folks yell every six milliseconds is in keeping with the proper sense of decorum that a burger place should have, but I've decided the burger is pretty good.

I've order the same thing all three trips - the burger with mustard. First trip the burger was dry, but well dressed. Good mustard, good pickles, well put together, decently seasoned. The last 2 trips the burger was much better, juicy, good beef flavor, not too tightly packed. Good non-interruptive bun.

I was on the fence about the fries - not often do you get hand cut wavy fries - but they've grown on me. Medium crispy, not well salted, but there is both Lawry's and sea salt on the tables, so I guess that's ok.

My personal view that for Austin, Fran's and Dan's have the best griddled burgers, Top Notch is tops for charcoal grilled. I'd put Mighty Fine just below Dan's as far as the burger - somewhere down around the DPS driver's license office for ambiance.

Good burger, bad fries

Love the burger but the bun was so so. Really prefer the bun at Phil's Ice House or The Tavern. The fries were a disaster. Under cooked and greasy. The concept is good but the execution needs to imprive.

Not very impressed

After hearing all the hype, I decided to try Mighty Fine burger. The place was very busy, which is a good sign usually. I made the mistake of ordering a chocolate milkshake for $4. I waited a long time for my food, and the milkshake wasnt ready. It took them over 10 minutes to finally make my milkshake. They did apologize but at that point I was pretty thirsty while eating my hamburger, they could of atleast offered me a soda or water. They have too many people working and bumping into you and I really dislike that about restaraunts like Rudys. I hate waitstaff running over or barrelling over you, or sweeping next to you. mighty fine had no shame and I wasnt very impressed with their service.

the burger itself wasnt bad. i wish it was a little larger, i thought it was somewhat small. also, theyre not fire grilled which is a shame. A place like rudys has plenty of fire for their bbq, why not grill your burgers?

the worst part of Mighty Fine burgers it the FRIES. i dont understand how anybody could like these things. if you like these fries you must eat really crappy food. the fries are SMALL, overcooked and way too salty. i could not believe how horrible the fries were, i was hoping they would have fries like fatburger, BIG HUGE STEAK fries. overall Rudys team really let me down. Im not a huge Rudys fan either, but I figured Mighty Fine would atleast be better than Fuddruckers but its not.

What also caught my attention is that the walls are painted BLUE, but the picnic tables are RED. Very horrible decorating idea, I think the picnic tables should be BLUE to match the walls. Rudys should be RED, the burger place should be BLUE. They should get better fries, less retarded teenage waitstaff and start grilling those burgers over flames. then it would be a great burger joint. why does California have the better burger places? Why cant we get something as reliable as fatburger or in-and-out?

This place sux

Rudy's has all the money in the world, and you would expect that any venture they would pursue would be excellent. This place is TERRIBLE--the burgers have no flavor, but the fries are good--but not as good as Wally's on Mesa Drive in Austin.

The tomatoes are mushy, the pickles are serrated but have no taste, and, believe it or not, to sort of mimic the "Cutter Cam" of Rudy's, there are two guys behind a glass partition that WEIGH EACH BURGER!!!! (WHO THE HELL CARES IS MY BURGER IS 6 OUNCES OR 6.3 OUNCES, RIGHT?)

Try it once and you won't go back!

GOOD TASTING CHEESEBURGER, SUCKIEST BATCH OF FRIES EVER MADE !!!

KINDA SEEMED LIKE THE USED A BLOWTORCH TO COOK THEM OR SOMETHING I CANT REALLY DESCRIBE THEM EXACTLY.

I was a bit disappointed.

Price performace was poor. Seems like the concept (or system) was better than the burger.

I want a better burger man!

IT WAS TASTY, BUT NO IN-N-OUT BURGER (BUT I`M BIAS FROM CALIFORNIA )

MADE A TRIP OVER TO MIGHTY FINE BURGER AND GOT A TO-GO ORDER FOR WORK. ARIVED AT THE RESTAURANT TO FIND A CLEAN INVIRONMENT AND FRIENDLY COUNTER HELP. ORDERED A CHEESEBURGER WHICH THE PRICE WAS PROLLY ABOUT AVERAGE AND AN ORDER OF FRIES. RECIEVED MY ORDER PRETTY QUICKLY AND ATE IT BACK AT WORK. THE CHEESEBURGER WAS GOOD SIZED NICE AND THICK REMINDED ME OF A HOMEMADE BAR-B-QUE BURGER PERHAPS AND THE FRIES WERE GOOD ALSO WITH KETCHUP. I THINK I WOULD MAKE ANOTHER TRIP OVER TO MIGHTY FINE IF IN THE MOOD. OVERALL A AVERAGE/GOOD EXPERIENCE.

Had lunch there Friday with two co-workers. The placed was packed but the line moved really fast. The menu is simple with only burgers,fries,shakes and chilli dogs. My cheeseburger was the best I have had in Austin and maybe anywhere. It reminded me of Kincaid's in Ft Worth who also grinds their meat fresh daily. The fries were perfect and the hand squeezed lemonade was fantastic. I did not try the chopped chili dog or shake by my co-workers did and loved them. You can taste quality in every item on the menu. The price is not bad for what you get. If you think the only way to get a good burger is at a hole in the wall that is a well kept secret, you will not care for Mighty Fine. If you appreciate fresh great quality food with quick service in a clean enviroment Mighty Fine will not dissapoint.
