This family-friendly, multiple-location Austin favorite features burgers as robust as their namesake neighborhoods, plus a blue-ribbon celebration of all things fried and piled, the Texas State Fair Burger. Throw in a Frito pie, grilled footlong hot dog, hand-cut onion rings, and tons of games, and you’ll want to dedicate a weeknight meal to Phil’s. Easy access to Amy’s Ice Creams on one side and Baked by Amy’s on the other only sweetens the deal. – Jessi Cape
