Lebowski’s Grill at Highland Lanes has the best burgers I’ve had in Austin! I first tried them at a food festival downtown and have been wanting to go to Highland Lanes bowling for the burgers! Even if you don’t want to bowl, go when there’s league play so you can watch some impressive bowlers. But, back to the food, you order at the counter and food is ready quickly. We ordered the infusion with bacon and patty melt, the two most popular burgers. Sooo good, the flavors are excellent. I wanted more out of the tots and fries because they were kind of bland but I’m not letting them deter from the burger! Go try one right now!!

The Infusion Burger
Two giant thumbs up and a high five to the lady on the griddle. Amazing burgers, very tasty waffle fries
People had kept telling me to come here for arguably the best burger in Austin and I never really took the hype seriously.
But ooohhh boy, this is that delicious greasy diner style griddle burger. The patties are aggressively seasoned and cooked to perfection, cheese is melted in to the patties and the buns are toasted on the griddle. Pretty sure these are homemade pickles in there as well.
10/10 all around.
To top it all off they build the burger in the correct order with meat and cheese on top and the veggies on the bottom.

The Dude
So as of recently I've been getting a lot of ads on my phone for burger joints in Austin. One of those places just happened to be Lebowski's grill and people were raving over how good the burgers are.. I hopped in the car drove down and had to check it out myself.
The menu is simple, very simple as it should be. The burger is broken down to its core elements. Bun, meat, onion, pickle and lettuce. It also comes with mustard and mayo but of course you can always omit any of these toppings.
I opted for the Walter where my significant other opted for the dude. As for what side?? We went with the tater tots because we were influenced by the workers there.
Simple ingredients do not always equal. A simple burger but sometimes that's all that it takes. This is the case here with their burgers. There's nothing fancy, there's nothing secret, there's no hidden crazy ingredients that you wouldn't think shouldn't go on a burger. We're talking burger at its core here.
Burger patty, flat top griddle, and other accessories to go on top. That's it... It's elegant.
If you're ever in the area or even if you're not in the area we weren't, I took a 25-minute drive just to go get this thing!!! You must stop by and pick one of these things up. Trust me!
