The Silo On 7th

Nice people, great service. On my most recent visit I ordered the "Waller" burger, and it was great. I give them a huge amount of credit (mostly due to the tasty and tender yet sturdy brioche bun) for satisfying my desire for a hamburger to actually be edible as a sandwich - like, I want to be able to hold it in my hand by the bread and eat it from start to finish. Lots of places make great-looking burgers that completely fall apart after two bites. Anyway the beef was very nice, well-seasoned but subtle. Ordered the "sweet tots" instead of fries (which I've had in the past; they're fine but I wanted a change) and the tots are great if you're a sweet potato fan. Huge portion of them too. Good beer selection, but I must say the beer price is on the high side for Austin places like this. All in all a great place for a solid burger. At some point I'll bring more people and try some of the appetizers; the peppers look really interesting.

My all time favorite burger joint thus far! Usually go for the fried green tomatillos or jalapeno poppers to start off. It is a bit pricey, but the burgers and the tater tots are worth it. Wide craft beer selection and a good variety of cocktails. Nice open view of the city as well on the patio area.

This place has all the right things going for it and I hope that it becomes a staple in Austin. The layout of the place is fantastic! There's plenty of outdoor seating, covered and exposed as well as a balcony. The inside looks like a trendy bar scene with a extremely long table for large parties or for multiple people to converge and meet. If there was one place I would host a party, this would be the place! Now as for their food - their mainstay is their burgers. Now it's not the best burger you can get in town (see Hopdoddy for that), but it sure does keep the competition up on their toes. Their Kaiser bun is perfect for soaking up all of the juices from their Black Angus beef patties. They offer plenty of intriguing and mouth watering ingredient combinations like their Chicon burger which includes a fried egg, caramelized onions, grilled pineapple, and pickled beets.Their normal fries come perfectly seasoned with rock salt and fresh cracked pepper. This should be your go-to burger place if the line at Hopdoddy is too long to wait. I wish them all the best and will certainly be back to try their pork burger and veggie patty option.
