Austin's Favorite Burger Styles for Your Next Event
From old-school greasy flat-top classics to smoked burgers at BBQ joints, Austin's burger scene has something for everyone. These are the styles that keep locals coming back.
Classic Smash Burgers
Paper-thin patties smashed on a hot griddle until the edges turn crispy and caramelized—this is Austin's burger obsession. P. Terry's made it a local legend with all-natural beef and consistent quality. ATX Fire Burgers brings this same smash burger perfection to events across the city.
Grass-Fed & All-Natural
Wholly Cow Burgers serves grass-fed, grass-finished beef made fresh in Austin—perfect for events where quality sourcing matters. Their food truck brings this same commitment to weddings, office parties, and festivals throughout the area. All-natural ingredients that guests appreciate.
Texas BBQ-Inspired Burgers
Austin's BBQ heritage shows up in its burgers. KnightFire BBQ stacks smash burgers with brisket-inspired char that Austinites crave. Some trucks grind their own brisket trim for patties, adding that signature Texas smoke flavor to every bite.
Dive Bar Classics
Inspired by Austin institutions like Casino El Camino on Sixth Street—thick Angus patties, bold toppings like roasted serranos and jalapeño jack. These aren't delicate burgers; they're substantial, juicy, and unapologetically indulgent. Perfect for casual events.
Patty Melts & Texas Toast
The patty melt tradition runs strong in Austin—double patties on grilled Texas toast with caramelized onions and melted cheese. Trucks bring this comfort food classic to events where guests want something warm and satisfying.
Plant-Based & Veggie Options
Austin's health-conscious culture means burger trucks come prepared. ATX Fire Burgers offers meatless options alongside their loaded cheeseburgers. Impossible Burgers, mushroom patties, and house-made veggie options ensure every guest finds something they'll enjoy.

Common Questions About Burger Food Truck Catering in Austin
Everything you need to know before booking.
What's the typical cost to book a burger truck in Austin?
Most Austin burger trucks have minimums ranging from $800 to $2,000 for private events. P. Terry's starts at $800 (including setup) with meals at $12 each. Per-person pricing typically falls between $12 and $18 depending on menu selection. We'll provide quotes from multiple trucks so you can compare options.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend events—especially during SXSW, ACL, and football season—we recommend booking 3-4 weeks in advance. Weekday corporate events often have more flexibility. For last-minute needs, we can usually find available trucks with shorter notice.
What areas do Austin burger trucks serve?
Most Austin burger trucks serve the entire metro area including downtown, South Congress, the Domain, East Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, and surrounding suburbs. Many travel to the Hill Country, Dripping Springs, and Lake Travis for larger events. We'll confirm service area when you request a quote.
Can burger trucks accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. ATX Fire Burgers and other Austin trucks offer meatless options for veggie-loving guests. Many trucks provide turkey burgers, chicken sandwiches, or plant-based patties. Wholly Cow focuses on grass-fed, all-natural beef for guests who care about sourcing. Let us know your requirements when booking.
What makes Austin burger trucks different?
Austin's food truck culture runs deeper than most cities, and burger trucks here prioritize quality ingredients and creative approaches. From grass-fed beef to BBQ-inspired char, these aren't generic burgers—they reflect Austin's food scene. Many trucks have catered hundreds of events and understand what works.
Do Austin burger trucks serve the Hill Country and Lake Travis area?
Yes. Many Austin burger trucks travel to Hill Country venues in Dripping Springs, Bee Cave, Lakeway, and Lake Travis for weddings and private events. Service extends to Wimberley, Johnson City, and Fredericksburg for larger gatherings. Travel fees typically apply for venues more than 30 miles from central Austin. We'll confirm coverage when you request quotes.
Can burger trucks set up indoors at Austin corporate events?
While traditional truck service requires outdoor space, many Austin burger vendors offer indoor setup options including grill stations, buffet service, or drop-off catering. For office atriums, parking garages, or covered patios, trucks can often position near doorways to serve indoor events. Discuss your venue layout and we'll find accommodating vendors.
How do Austin burger trucks handle large events with multiple proteins?
Most Austin burger trucks offer menu customization for larger events including turkey burgers, chicken sandwiches, and veggie patties alongside beef. For events over 200 guests, trucks can expand their menu or we can coordinate multiple trucks with complementary offerings. Wholly Cow and other caterers are experienced with complex, high-volume events.
What's the cancellation policy for Austin burger truck bookings?
Cancellation policies vary by vendor but typically require 48-72 hours notice for full refund of deposits. Weather-related cancellations are usually handled flexibly with rescheduling options. Most Austin trucks retain deposits for late cancellations. We'll clarify specific terms when connecting you with vendors.
Can Austin burger trucks accommodate keto and low-carb diets?
Yes. Most Austin burger trucks can serve patties lettuce-wrapped or in bowls without buns. Grass-fed options from trucks like Wholly Cow are popular with keto dieters. Some trucks offer specific low-carb toppings and sides. Mention dietary preferences when booking so trucks can prepare appropriate options.
