I've been here twice and both times have been excellent! They're menu has something for everyone and definitely save room for dessert! The Ron burgundy burger is delish and the black Betty is just the right amount of sweet and tart
Gourdough's was definitely a must try when in Austin.
Very chill atmosphere with reclaimed wood vibes. It is a donut galore. With many different iterations of donut themes. The Donut burger is rich hearty and fun. The fried deviled eggs were a good way to start your meal. Desert was very good, could have done without the peanuts. Definitely a place to treat your donut itch.
We went on a Sunday at lunch time for our first ever visit. I've always wanted to try this spot. The hostess was nice and the waiter was very attentive. It appeared they are a bit short staffed since there were lots of clean tables open but they were on a 30 minute wait. No worries, everyone is dealing with the same issues. The food was great. My kids loved the idea. My only gripe is that I ordered the pork belly dish which was like $15 and only got three tiny pieces of pork belly (see pic). What I got was delicious. Maybe my expectations were too high but I was expecting more pork.
It's over the top. It's amazing. It's a blast and outrageous and a down south guilt pleasure. Get these big fat donuts! At least try them once. There's a reason why there is so much hype around this place. I love the variety of sweet and savory options. Portion sizes are huge but you're also paying for presentation. The country clucker was by far my favorite- it's served with creamed corn and candied jalapeños! If you can only pick one- then I'd go with sweet because that's what they are famous for and you can at least remember your last few moments in Austin with a sweet sugar coma.
Fun fact, you won’t find a single glazed donut here. What you will find is donut hamburgers, donut sandwiches and even donuts with salad. Fun atmosphere, unique dining experience and great food. I had a “Double D” burger (made single patty) which was very tasty but a little messy with the Buffalo sauce leaving a soggy donut bottom. I prefer a traditional bun for my burgers but was definitely enjoyable, but very feeling. My friend ordered a wedge salad served with chicken fried bacon and tasty chunks of blue cheese. This place is excellent for a fun outing with the fam!
At this place it was a more memorable experience than expected. We had some good menu items that were a burst of flavors that satisfied the taste buds. I give the whole experience a very good rating and I will be back sooner rather than later. Our only complaints were that it was very hot inside of the resturant. Not sure if it was just in the part we sat in, but it was bearable enough to eat and then get our dessert to go. Also, if you try the Rise & Shine, just know that the pico is very spicy. It was kind of a surprise. The waiter was very courteous and we tipped because of it. So the overall experience was top notch!!!!!
Absolutely delicious! Such a fun environment and fun foods to choose from on the menu. Their dessert donuts are amazing.. I was in Austin just a week and HAD to go back for dessert a second time!
*Donuts are light and soft on the inside with a subtle crisp outside. They’re unglazed making a perfect sandwich.. not sticky or messy!
The burgers are HUGE and delicious. Love the outdoor seating with games to play. The appetizer was incredible! You won’t wanna eat for days after lol so much food!
Nice atmosphere. All the food we ordered tasted good. The grilled cheese was overpriced. Service was OK, they seemed understaffed. Didn't get dessert, so next time I'm in Austin I'll stop in to try some of their gourmet doughnuts.
Everything you want on a donut and more. Imagine perfectly cooked donuts topped with perfectly fried chicken. If I could do it over, I'd get the honey chicken, but my photo is of the clucker which included sweet creamed corn and potato pancake, but it kind of over took the taste of the crispy chicken. My boyfriend ordered the hunk which I think was my favorite. For this restaurant, the more gluttonous your choice, the better.
Yummy and amazing donuts with unique toppings that you need to use a fork and knife to eat. Pretty much the whole menu (even the salads) come with some iteration of donut. I’d suggest trying a few with friends (and over drinks as well) to try more than just one, because one donut is way more than enough for one person
Amazing. Granted you're paying about $16 for your burger, but worth it. I had the Ron Burgundy and the Phat Club. Both were great. Even the sweet tea was great.
Heard about this restaurant awhile back and I finally got to try it out. I have to say the food definitely lives up to the hype. Highly recommend you come here hungry cause the food fills you up. My partner and I each got an entree and shared an appetizer. I got the Drunken Hunk which is meatloaf with potato pancake & candied jalapenos all on top of a hot garlic donut. My partner got the Boss Hog, which has pulled pork and jalapeno potato salad on top of a hot garlic donut. Sweet and savory never tasted so good. I also recommend you try The Big Cheez with cilantro buttermilk sauce. Most definitely will be coming back here anytime I'm in town.
Came for lunch about noon and since the inside was packed we sat outside.Our server tana was great and smiled constantly. There are trees outside and misters to help with the heat but that only does so much once the sun comes out. We sat at a table for two on the wall, we were talking to a four top in the middle but the host guided us away even though there was only one large party by the donut and a two top in the middle. I would have been fine but for some reason, there are metal things protruding out of the wall so I kept hitting my elbow which is frustrating. I had to sit at a weird angle then the sun was in my eyes, today was just a day. The Arnold palmer is great and the bendy straws are a cute bonus. The chicken pot pie was good too. The dirty bird was good the first half but the second you could tell there was too much lemon pepper seasoning coating for my liking and the bottom donut was soggy. Great concept but needs a little work in my opinion.
Wow I was VERY pleasantly surprised. I knew they had the donut theme but I’m not a fan of too sweet things so I was a bit skeptical. But the donuts are just light and flaky not necessarily sweet on the main menu items. I had the dirty south, such a large portion and omg the cranberry habanero jam 🤤 everything paired together so yummy. My partner had the Ron Burgundy, it was also very large. I had a bite and couldn’t even get all the ingredients but it was amazing.
We’ll definitely be back to try more and check out brunch! Apparently they have $4 mimosas or $13 carafes. And the patio areas look so cute. Also the music had an appreciated good mix of styles.
Excellent food, drinks, and service! We were able to bring our dogs on the patio for brinch underneath misters and lounging in the shade. We ordered thw drunken hunk, diablo, country clucker, and shared a sin-a-bomb. Absolutely delicious. Awesome coffee and the drinks were great quality and well priced. Meagan was our server and had great recommendations. They even brought out ice water for the puppies. Not a single complaint, we loved our experience here. Great job!
I was looking for a bite and stumbled across gourdough’s and wanted to test a savoury donut! Omg it was deadly…. In the best way possible. The jalapeños were sweet and spicy and those huge pieces of bacon added the perfect amount of salt. The dough was chewy and delicious! Definitely happy we tried it out!
Unique ambiance and menu to match! All menu items have a donut in them, even my Public House Salad. The drinks menu has extensive amounts of coffee drinks (with alcohol) and there is a great dessert menu as well.
