The 7 Best Burgers of central Texas tour is here! For our first stop, we decided to hit up an Austin favorite, Phil's Ice House, 5620 Burnet Road (next to Amy's Ice Cream).
The recommendation came from some creative people - actually, they work in a creative services department - and who would know better than a bunch of creative minds where to eat a good burger? Walking in, the first impression for a person who's never been to Phil's before, is that it's pretty small in the ordering area. But we soon found out, Phil's is big on taste.
The order board is big and bold, so it's easy to read. The 78704 is by far the best-selling burger, according to manager Abi Orchard. So, that's what I got. The bun was the best - not homemade - but tasty nonetheless! The '04, as it's called, comes with a little spice (jalapenos) and made the juicy burger even better. The burgers are also reasonably priced.
The best part about Phil's, aside from the french fries (you can get them regular style, sweet potato style, or a mix of both) is the people. Orchard and her crew work hard to satisfy every customer. And it seems to be working. Every customer we talked to was very satisfied, and many are regulars.
Another unique part of Phil's is the reason why this place exists. Watch the video on our first stop and find out why Phil's Ice House is so special. Then go try a burger for yourself!
