The West Coast has In-N-Out. The East Coast has Five Guys. Texas has the cattle, but where can one go to eat said cattle? The first day I was in Austin, I stumbled upon the answer in a quaint and clean shopping center just off of Brodie Lane in Sunset Valley.Mighty Fine Burger makes the best hamburger I have ever had the pleasure of biting into. The buns are soft, the tomatoes are ripe, and the onions and pickles: crisp. The lettuce is perfectly shredded so you aren't constantly fighting with it to stay on the patty. The meat, however, ties it all together. The 100% fresh, all-natural beef is ground and hand-formed on-site and you can definitely taste the quality!
A trip to Mighty Fine Burger without getting a hand-dipped Blue Bell ice cream milkshake is like going to Disneyland without riding Space Mountain. I've always been a malt kind of guy and sadly, MFB doesn't have the proper ingredients to prepare one, but their chocolate shakes are a pretty darn good substitute. Smooth, creamy, and fantastically delicious. A MFB shake is the perfect compliment to their always hot and crispy crinkle cut fries which are always prepared in 100% peanut oil.
Not only is the food fresh and delicious, but the general atmosphere of Mighty Fine Burger is perfect. Whether you're standing in line next to a trough of bottled beers and ice or washing your hands in the wall-mounted CleanTech 500 EZ, the restaurant is a joy to visit. The dining room is designed with simplicity in mind and it works beautifully. Guests sit on red, metal folding chairs at the picnic-styled tables with blue and white checkered tablecloths.
While waiting to refill my Orange Fanta, I overheard a little girl tell her mother, "This is the best restaurant I've ever been to." Mom replied with, "The best ever?" and the little girl nodded with an affirmative "Mmm Hmm." I wouldn't go as far as calling Mighty Fine Burger the best restaurant (that honor still belongs to Souplantation) but it is unquestionably the best burger I have ever had.
