P. Terry's Burger Stand

Made-to-order burgers are central to this Austin burger stand's menu. The menu also includes hand-cut fries, hand-spun milkshakes, freshly squeezed orange juice and lemonade, and baked goods made from scratch in its kitchen. Veggie burgers follow an in-house recipe. The business draws inspiration from classic burger stands of the 1950s and 1960s, with a simple menu built around all-natural ingredients. It opened its first stand in Austin in 2005, at the corner of South Lamar and Barton Springs. The burger stand concept also shapes its buildings, which take inspiration from the googie architecture movement of the 1950s. P. Terry's is an Austin original.
