Restaurant Info
East Austin has no shortage of energy along the Mueller corridor, and that's exactly why we're here. Hopdoddy sits right at the corner of Aldrich and Robert Browning, steps from Mueller Lake Park and at the heart of one of Austin's most intentionally built neighborhoods, a walkable, community-first district where the Texas Farmers' Market at Mueller, the Thinkery, and a lap around the lake are all part of the weekly routine. We're minutes from the Domain, UT, and the eclectic stretch of East 51st, and right in the middle of the neighborhoods, Windsor Park, University Hills, Cherrywood, and Holly, that make this part of town feel like it belongs to the people who actually live here. If you're coming from the trail, wrapping up a weekend at the market, or heading over after a visit to the Thinkery with the kids, we're already on your path. Everything here is made the way it should be, buns baked in-house, fresh patties, fries hand-cut from Chipperbec potatoes, and a full bar with hand-shaken margaritas, craft cocktails, local drafts, and boozy milkshakes. Mueller was built around the idea that a neighborhood should have everything you need within walking distance. We're glad to be part of that.
Happy Hour:M-Th, 3-6PM
Looking for the best happy hour in Northeast Austin? Hopdoddy hosts the happiest of them all with 1/2 off cocktails, beer & wine Monday through Thursday from 3-6PM. Our sliders & crispy chicken tenders are the perfect after work snack. Or grab a big bowl of sharable fries - like the famous Parmesan Truffle, Green Chile Queso or Hot Honey Sweet Potato Fries.

We don't do one-size-fits-all burgers. Our menu features everything from the best-selling Double Bacon Jam and Wagyu Smash to the heat-packed El Diablo and our bison Roosevelt burger. Add in an Ahi Tuna burger that eats like a sushi roll, a Nashville Hot Fried Chicken and Veggie Burgers with a natural patty made from real ingredients, and you've got a menu worth exploring top to bottom. More flavors of hand-cut fries than you'll find anywhere, made fresh daily from potatoes grown specifically to be fries. Every bowl is built for sharing. Our tossed and sauced crispy brussels sprout leaves are the sleeper hit on the menu. Cold beer, hand-shaken margs, craft cocktails, and spiked milkshakes, we're a burger bar with a real bar. On Sundays, Mueller takes brunch seriously with Boozy Breakfast, served from 9 to 11 am. Think the No Snooze Smash (double Wagyu smash patties, crispy hashbrowns, sunny side up egg), the Hot Bird Biscuit (Nashville hot chicken biscuit), Morning Margaritas, and Red Eye Bloodys. Grab a seat, order a drink, and find out why people come for the burgers and stay for the margs.
Proximity to Airport
There are a few ways to get to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) from our Northeast Austin burger bar. Each direction involves an ~10 mile route, but we recommend choosing your path based on the time of day, as I-35 can become heavily congested during peak travel hours. Without traffic, it’s about a 17-minute drive.
