What an awesome visit. Crown and Anchor is an Austin classic for a reason, and after a three-decade hiatus, I was completely won over…..again. The atmosphere perfectly preserves its loyal, dive-bar charm and nostalgia, yet the overall cleanliness and maintenance are surprisingly top-notch. It’s the best of both worlds! The food truly was a highlight for me. I had a double cheeseburger with fries. It was excellent, instantly reminding me why this place is a fixture. What sealed the deal, however, was the iced tea—as a self-proclaimed snob, I can attest that they absolutely perfected it. This isn’t just a blast from the past; it’s a quality operation. For sure I won’t be waiting another 30 years to go back!

There’s a lot of places to get drinks and food from but there’s only one crown & anchor! If you’re looking for some of the finest burgers in Austin this is the place. Of course they have just about any beverage that a man or woman and or non-gender alternative to human could ever want. Bathrooms are a little disappointing but that’s probably the last reason why you would go to this establishment. Establishment is very clean and staff is friendly and courteous.

Lived in Central Texas for 15 years and had my first visit at the Crown & Anchor today. Service was amazing with super friendly welcome. I’ve heard amazing things about their burgers so I ordered a cheeseburger. Honestly, it was okay. Not earth shattering or really anything to write about. I’m guessing if I had one at 2am after the bar, it would hit differently. Nothing really bad about it, just not memorable. Drinks were cold and cheap. Loved that along with the cool vibe here. Would totally recommend just because it’s one of the best dive bars in Austin. Must visit.

In an increasingly boring and corporate Austin, this place has stayed true to its roots as a local hangout. It’s an absolute hidden gem. I hope it never changes.
Food is good, beer selection is surprisingly good, and you get a great mix of pretentious graduate students, yuppies from Hyde Park, bearded old hippies, random stragglers and more. Always lively, and the patio is where all the best convos are happening in Austin.

When I was an actual college student this place scared me, it looked old and it didn’t seem like it’d match my alt/whatever vibe but now that I’ve started coming here I wish I could go back to my younger self and slap em.
This place is good, like surprisingly so. I’ve never been disappointed with the food or… the beer. They have an incredible selection of beer at a good price, a price college students back then and today can afford. The grilled cheese is amazing, and it’s a little known secret… but the vegan dog, let’s just say if you’re vegan/vegetarian they surprisingly have a good selection of food for ya. It’s bar vegan food but it’s damn good.
The staff really makes this place even better. From the bartenders to staff they bring personality that ya don’t find much anymore, it’s a real neighborhood bar despite being tailored to the UT crowd. You’ll find a mix of folks who’ve been coming here since the 80/90s and fresh turned 21 year olds.
It’s a great place to watch the Texas game on Saturdays and nfl on Sundays, and apparently they’re a west ham bar on Saturdays when the EPL is on.
Whether you’re visiting Austin as a UT Alum from the 90s or a 21 year old current student, I recommend this place as a good, still affordable spot to grab food, drink and have yourself a good time

We went at lunch time and they delivered a solid burger. Decently priced, well cooked, and well apportioned, the burger hit the right level of meat to toppings without getting out of hand. The fries were alright. The seating inside is a little tight, but there’s plenty of outdoor seating. The beer selection is really good and priced right. All in all, we’ll be back!

Burgers used to be so good. Last two times burgers have been burnt as well as fries. Used to be my favorite place to have a no frills burger. Now it is burnt. And comes out an hour after you order. Don’t know what happened, if they fired a chef, but burgers are almost inedible.

I will never visit again. The reviews say this place has great burgers. I ordered a mushroom Swiss burger and fries and only ate them because I was hungry and I will not waste food if I payed for it. If I did not pay for my food when I ordered it I would have walked out do to the time I sat and waited for my lunch. The organization of putting out orders was ridiculous. I was watching people who came in after me receiving food before me. When my food finally came out it looked good but I bet the flavor from the Southside of a boar would have been more appetizing. The price is also way to high for what I received.

Enjoyed pool and bartender. Bummed they didn’t have liquor. But we still had a good time! We didn’t eat, but the people around us said the food was yummy!

This place was great 30 years ago when I lived within walking distance and it’s great now. Wide selection of beer on draft. Solid burgers. Just as always.
