So very tasty

We got the frito pie burger and the bac'n cheezeburger, both were SO good. This place is a treasure. If you want a giant delicious burger and to feel like you probably ate too much, look no further.

Frito Pie is so good!

I had the Frito Pie and some tots. Really good flavors. Lots of cute little birds, so I shared my tots with them.

Pros: Convenient to downtown , Outdoor seating, Big portions

Best vegan burger ever

This vegan burger is next level! Do yourself a favor and add the Mac and cheese inside. It’s to die for.

Really good!

Went there with a new friend, before he realized I was vegan, and I forgot to mention it was a vegan place. What I did not know, was that he had been trying to go vegan for a while, and after eating his burger, he mentioned feeling guilty. When asking him why, and realizing it was because he had thought he was eating beef, I could inform him the truth about Arlo's. YES!

I had a burger and mac n cheese, while my friend had a (HUUUGE) order of tots with his burger. I tried to help him finish them, but could not.

Sweet potato fries!!!

I’ve tried the burger about 4 times now and I’m not really impressed... to me it was mushy. Most people I know are 50/50 about it, some love it or they think it’s meh like me. The sweet potato fries though are so good!!

A good quick bite

A healthier-tasting take on fast food. It's not my personal favorite style (especially the burgers being pretty mushy texture-wise), but all the flavors were on point and totally unique. Lovedd the sweet potato fries most of all.

Pros: Friendly staff, Unique food, Reasonably priced

Cons: Opened 30 minutes late, Outdoor seating a bit uncomfortable in heat

Perfect... if you could sit inside.

I understand the food truck thing and its cool but when its 105 degrees, sitting outside - with or without a gazebo - completely shuts off my appetite. The food is so good and honestly not that expensive. The staff were a bit rude but honestly I dont blame them working in that sweltering hot little box. Wish the drinks were a bit cheaper too. The tots portions are massive!!!

Proper yummy comfort food

If you want a burger and fries, then this is the place to go. The bacon cheeseburger is pretty darn tasty. My 2 year old devoured the Mac n cheese (yes it's greasy, but it tastes pretty good). Only complaint is we ate so much we're all sporting a food baby 😆.

Pros: All vegan menu, Reasonably priced, Packaged in paper

Cons: You'll likely overeat

Arlo's Saved my Life

I attended a conference at the Sheraton a few blocks away from Arlo's in May this year and the food choices for Vegans were awful (or zero). Arlo's saved my life. Tried everything on the menu in the week I was there - the BBQ burger was my favourite. Tater Tots amazing and you can get beer from Cheerup Charlie's!

Pros: Great burgers, Tater Tots, Beer from Cheerup Charlie's

Cons: Outside - so can get hot (but that's TX)

Great burgers and fries

The bac’n cheese burger is real good. The bun is nicely toasted and the “bac’n” is delicious. Good toppings (I asked for no onions). Also cool atmosphere with live music at the bar next door.

But now that I’ve had the impossible burger and beyond burger, traditional plant based burgers just don’t quite measure up. If they switched the patty to impossible or beyond, it would be perfect!

Pros: Cheap, stellar comfort food, nice atmosphere

Cons: Doesn’t use impossible or beyond burger

Best burgers in town.

It is always my choice for dinner when going to Austin. It has the best burgers in town. These guys are creators. They make their own proteins. I like them a lot better than the new wave of frozen vegan burgers they would sell you everywhere else. If you go, I recommend you try the Bac’n Cheez Burger, the Chick’n Tacos and the Mac’n Cheez.

Pros: Great food, Great environment

Excellent late night burger

Found them in a food truck lot on a tip from the server in Bouldin Creek. Fresh burger, very burgery if you’re into that. Not your basic vegburg, well crafted. Highly recommend!

Pros: Fresh, location

Good food, good location

Located right outside Cheerup Charlie's, good location near downtown and SXSW locations. Good selection and decent food. Its closed off from the road, but still a busy location.

Pros: Good selection

Cons: Kind of expensive

Great Burger

I got the bacon cheeseburger, fries and a side of Mac. The Mac had no flavor, very oily and just tasted charred. The burger was awesome and I’d definitely go there again!
