In an increasingly high-tech Austin, Sandy's remains a vivid reminder of the Capital City's good ole days. The dine-outside-only burger shack on Barton Springs is a city staple (you can't miss the giant neon custard cone), serving up burgers, fries and shakes to those in search of fabulous '50s nostalgia -- and prices. Known for their popular special (burger, fries and a drink for next to nothing), Sandy's is an ideal stop for Town Lake walkers, struggling students and the budget-conscious.
Fully embodying old-fashioned values, Sandy's only accepts cash, so look under those cushions, scrounge up loose change and be sure to leave the credit cards behind. Family-owned for more than five decades, Sandy's is a throwback to simpler times, when an evening out was made complete by good food and good company. Be sure to try the famous frozen custard, it's the perfect topper to a warm evening. -- Kelly Lee

Sandy's" Simple, Saving and Satisfying-esp frozen custard
Siminow - 07/25/2008
All the above is true and the people are really helpful and real; this is an authentic Austin place and easy to get to . Get the burger and fries and then hit Snow Beach trailer nearby for a real austin snow cone. It's a step back in time with authenticity..

KC68B - 07/23/2008I just LOVE Sandy's... but I love the finer simplicities in life!
The best date scenario ~ weather permitting ~ grab a bag of burgers, walk over to SRV, sit & chat! You can really get to know a lot about someone if you dedicate a couple hours to communciation, you can also enjoy nature, people watching and the best damn burger you've had since childhood! All for a couple hours, a couple gallons of gas & only a couple of bucks for dinner! Best value in town!Big Bill
Tsg0103 - 06/27/2008I have been eating at Sandy's since I moved here in 1963 to attend UT when it became my favorite burger place. And don't forget the frozen custard.

Nice People Too!
morrison3508 - 02/27/2007I have been in Austin for over 20 years and the first time I went to Town Lake, I saw Sandy's. It naturally attracted me because my name is Sandy. I go there everytime I have an opportunity! These are the nicest foks that runs the place. They always greet you with a genuine smile and down home politeness. The food is just absolutely great. You can get the same order every time you go and it is consistently good. Every time I bite into one of their burgers, it takes me back to the fifties!! When I have a guest from out of town, I take 'em there.
Love it, Love it!!!!Takes me back
irish6357 - 01/20/2007Everytime I am in the area..I stop by. Don't go at lunch time unless you have the time to wait.....but that can be nice as well.
Austin has changed alot over the 3o yrs I have lived there......I am glad Sandy's hasn't.
Also...try Dirtys...over on the old "drag"....it's a great place as well...and hell we cant forget HUTS...on 6th st......that is my all time favorite haunt.
Good LuckAyeDavanita1's Review
ayedavanita1 - 08/10/2002Frozen custard is the best - they pile on extra tomato and onion if ya ask too! The buns are so fresh and soft - the only complaint I have is that they always only give my boyfriend and I 1 ketchup packet for the both of us. Their $2.49 Thurs and Sat specials are the best deal around - burger, fries, and drink.

deank2298 - 05/30/2002A lot better than DQ, still a greasy spoon with a dirty bathroom.
