Built in 1926, Dirty Martin’s Place is the second oldest restaurant in Austin and the oldest burger joint in Texas. The “dirty” in the name is not a jab at Martin but describes the dirt floor’s the building had until 1952. They are now having a classic car night the third Saturday of every month so check it out.

Bacon Cheeseburger: Half pound patty, American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, white onion, pickle, mayonnaise on a buttered and toasted bun.
Built in 1930 as a post office the building was turned into the general store in 1984. You can’t find a bad item on the menu but the burgers are worth the 40-minute drive from Austin. You have to get the glass bottle coke to top off the meal.
