Best Place to Eat Hickory Sauce

Hut’s Hamburgers

Hut’s is our favorite Austin burger joint. It has delicious milkshakes, onion rings, and the world’s best burger combinations (all available with a beef, buffalo, or veggie patty). We recommend the Mel’s #2, with pickles and mustard, or the Chubby Chucks, featuring hickory sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and pickles, which is somehow the best taste we’ve ever had in our mouth. Do not even consider ordering a salad.

This year, Flatstock is setting aside a special showcase at SXSW, made possible by Yaris, to display the art of talented student poster artists at the Convention Center. The Grand Prize winner has earned a free trip to Austin for two, including accommodations and festival wristbands.
