Patrick Terry bet big on Austin’s obsession with homegrown restaurants, investing in 32 locations since 2005, but hungry patrons are the real winners. The menu, a small but mighty jackpot, boasts badass burgers, one of the best veggie patties around, and a hella good spicy chicken option. (Debut a gluten-free bun, Terry fam, to truly reign supreme.)
Finalists: Buddy’s Burger, El Tacorrido, Flyrite Chicken, Fresa’s, Sandy’s Hamburgers
