Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Burnet, TX

Dylan Medford This place is hidden gem. Went right before closing on my way to the lake and got a smoked half chicken. It was the best chicken I’ve ever had- juicy with an incredible smoky flavor. I then went back the next afternoon on the way home and got the 2 meat plate with chicken and brisket, double beans, and an order of the banana pudding. The chicken was just as incredible, the brisket was amazing- super juicy and flavorful, the beans were to die for, and the banana pudding was maybe the best I’ve ever had. You NEED to stop and try it if you are in the area. Very fair prices, terrific food, and a great man running the place.

Betsy Cauley Have been wanting to try Smash Shack and always want to support local food endeavors. We work out of the area and aren’t usually at home during the week and they aren’t open on weekends. Today I was home with a sick kiddo and decided to give it a try. Best part of picking up burgers and fries is sampling fries on the way home. The fries are delicious; Plump and crispy. The OG burger was really flavorful with the grilled bun and pickles it has a big punch of flavor. I definitely recommend and will be back.

Ric Snook This was my second time going to Davi’s Tacos. The first time was last week when I picked up three tacos to share with my wife, a chicken fajita a Barbacoa and a Carnitas, all were fabulous and she was quite impressed as was I. After reading the reviews, I saw that I was missing out by not getting the Taco Famosos, so today I went back in the 35° weather and there was a line. I got two of the Tacos Famosos and OMG are they fantastic! The grilled jalapeño knocked it out of the park. Definitely a place worth trying if you’re in the area. Drove by a week ago and the trailer was gone! Oh no!!! Come to find out they just moved it out back between the two buildings. Food is just as good and they now have a nice shaded seating area.

Isaac Davis They have always had great food at a good price. You will not be disappointed eating here. Here is their chicken fried steak sandwich with onion rings.

Michelle Ellehcim I havent seen such a wonderful menu in 20 years. They had all of my favorite foods. Everything was indescribably delicious! We tried the fried green beans, fried mushrooms, a half pound cheeseburger, cheesecake, and a slice of peanut butter pie. Every single bite was delicious.( the cheesecake is actually a little bit bigger than the picture shows but I could not help myself and took a bite before I took the picture).

Scot Brinkley Great local place! Best breakfast tacos in Burnet. They have homemade flour tortillas! I hear the Taco Locos are fantastic! I’m planning to try those at lunch today. The owner is present and cares about quality & service.

Jackie Meyers The burgers here are top notch! My boyfriend loves this place and is from around here and for my first time here I can truly say this was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I got the chili cheese burger and we shared some onion rings and oh my gosh the homemade ranch here is AMAZING. Highly recommend for anyone going through and wanting a good burger because these will not disappoint!

LM Fanava Service is wonderful! Drive thru service was quick and our breakfast was hot and yummy. We went out to volunteer at Ker County, and filling our bellies before helping out with debris was a smart thing to do. Thank you to the Whataburger staff for being so kind when our hearts were breaking.

Molly Zarate Scot, listen to me. I consider myself somewhat of a pizza connoisseur if you will. I’ve lived in Europe for three years, traveled all over, and had my fair share of incredible pizzas. These right here? Easily in my top three of all time. The fact that you’re making these in a pizza oven, yet they taste like they came straight out of a handmade adobe and brick oven, is MIND BLOWING. The perfect crunch, the spot-on texture, the quality of ingredients - just absolutely exquisite. I was honestly speechless for a good fifteen minutes after finishing a slice. Phenomenal. Truly next-level.

Alaina Frederick We absolutely loved Trailblazer Grille. The service was wonderful from the moment we walked in the door. I got scrambled eggs and the chicken and biscuit. It’s rare to go to a diner that has seasoned eggs but these were! The breading on the chicken had a lot of flavor and the chicken was tender and moist. My husband got steak, eggs, toast and hash browns. I had a bite of the steak and it had great flavor. The owners are a Christian homeschooling family. They even have a Bible verse on the back of their shirts. We are planning on going back to take our kids - yes, it’s that good we are going to drive an hour for food!

Jonathan Friendly service and good portions! We split the beef fajitas for one — this is everything that came with it! Definitely would recommend!

S The food was great-Ate there 10/23 and 10/26 while staying in the RV park of Container City. The food and service both times were great-had a grilled chicken sandwich special and chicken tinga tacos on 10/23 and grilled chicken sandwich, Tavern burger fries and onion rings. Beer, drink, queso and chips on 10/26/25. The bartender on 10/26 said it was happy hour all day. My husband ran a tab and paid out. I looked at the receipt the next day and - two different prices for the same beer-one full price and one happy hour price and full price for the chips and queso -advertised at about half price. Its hard to keep track of the charges when you run a tab - at least we got a receipt. Will definitely go back when we are in the area but will not run a tab. Edit 11/24/25. Would appreciate a response from management.

Carson Morgan Great to have a new bbq place in town. Ribs are outstanding. I had the turkey sandwich and the brisket sandwich also which were great. Desert is great too!

Shawn I had asada tacos. Very good. The corn tortillas held up well. They stuffed them. Their breakfast tacos are also great. Cant go wrong breakfast or dinner.

Floyd Moon This place may be unassuming from the outside, but don’t let that fool you! I had the some of the best salmon and the best sauce to go with it! The Raspberry Salmon was amazing! The couple that own are it lovely people, and the service, food, and drink are all on point! This is a great small-town gem!
