I am sorry, I love this company but have given this feedback so many times I am bringing it online. For the LOVE OF GOD, please just put the dang sauce inside a lettuce wrap! Every time I get it, I beg and pleaded for them to put the sauce inside the lettuce wrap so that I can just eat like a normal person who doesn’t have a gluten intolerance. At least the last five times, even though I was assured the sauce would be inside the lettuce wrap it continues to be on the side, and when I ask about it, I am told it’s because if they put it inside the lettuce wrap, it is too messy for a client. Well, I ask you, if you were a client who really wanted sauce on their burger, but couldn’t have bread what is messier? A fully wrapped burger in lettuce that already has the sauce inside of it? Or unwrapping the sloppy lettuce, adding the sauce and trying to re-wrap it yourself? And half the time I don’t get the sauce, like tonight! Tonight I drove home the point in the drive-through and said, “would you mind repeating in front of my husband that you will not put the sauce on the side and will instead put INSIDE the lettuce wrap like you would a burger, because I do not want to order this if you will not put it inside the lettuce wrap?” To which we were promised, twice! Nope, even the receipt says on the side, which I assume is automatic. At least they got the Diet Coke right on the receipt (even though we were served a Dr Pepper). Please change this at the corporate level! Those of us with gluten intolerance spread the word when we can find an alternative like you advertise here, but it sucks when we can’t get the same ingredients others get when they can have bread. Please, I promise I am trying and failing to support this local business!
I had a horrific customer experience at this P. Terry’s location. I ordered two veggie burgers, one lettuce wrap and the other regular. When my partner bit into her lettuce wrap veggie burger, it ended up being a beef patty. We are vegetarian, so this was especially irritating. I went to return the burger for a veggie burger and upon arrival at the window the employee told me they could remake the burger (I had the receipt and original burger), then the drive through-boy tried to get me to leave. I told him the window-help had told me it was covered, no biggie. Soon following, they forced the window employee to pay out of pocket in order for us to receive our correct order. SHAME on P. Terrys! Forcing an employee to pay for a burger that the cooks made a mistake on.
I have an issue with the practice of keeping my credit card out of my site and closing the window, and/or walking away with it and keeping it out of my site for several minutes. This really pisses me off. (Get a mobile point of sale system like Chic Fil A and other fast food business) It should be charged, while in sight the entire time and immediately given back, not hidden from view for several minutes, and especially not in the employees hand while they walk around the restaurant giving them ample time to capture personal info to charge for personal use later. Do better.
I love P. Terry's! I usually go to the location near South congress and Ben White at least multiple times a week. The food is always super fresh and affordable I eat both breakfast and lunch. Silvia is the one that usually takes my breakfast orders every morning, she is always so kind to me and she makes my day a million times better, she deserves recognition for that! I appreciate the freshness the affordability and the convenience and I will always be a supportive customer!
Stopped by P. Terry’s Burger Stand for a late lunch and absolutely loved it — their Double Cheeseburger (two all-natural beef patties, lettuce, tomato, special sauce) was juicy and satisfying, and the hand-cut fries were crispy without being greasy. Their Banana Bread and oatmeal chocolate chip cookie made for a sweet ending. The vibe is casual and charming—retro burger-stand meets cozy local favorite. The staff were super friendly and efficient, and everything felt fresh and thoughtful. If you’re craving a good, no-fuss burger done right in Austin, this spot is a winner.
