Definitely five stars for atmosphere. It’s in a bowling alley. Could there be a better location for a grill called Lebowski’s? Nope.My buddy got a burger called The Dude, which is just a single cheeseburger. I got The Walter, which is a double cheeseburger. I got a side of tots and my buddy got waffle fries (who orders that when tots are an option? Gonna get him some help).The burger was fantastic, as were the tots. I got a Shiner Bock from the bar next door and it was a perfect meal to enjoy whilst watching everyone bowling on a Saturday afternoon. Some people claim that this is the best burger in Austin. I don’t know about that, but it is a damn tasty burger. I loved it.

$9 for 13 thin sliced pickles. What a rip-off. With a raw burger, I had to throw in the trash. I will never be back.

Our 2nd visit here as a couple, sadly it is in part to the news that Highland Lanes is closing so I assume Lebowski's Grill will be as well. No news if either or both will reopen somewhere else, shame to see either go as they have been around so long. This was the 2nd round of Finding Frito, our ongoing search for the best and maybe worst Frito Pie's in Austin. This round was mine to pick, Shana did great for the opening volley with Stiles so I did some searching and found that Lebowski's does a Frito Pie BURGER!!! A different take and spin our the Frito Pie. It normally comes with Jalapeno's, onion's and a ranch sauce. I removed all that and Shana only took off the Jalapeno's. We got fries and I got a Dr. Pepper. The ordering wasn't too bad, you did have to speak up as it is loud there but we got our orders in, got a drink and sat in the lounge. We got basic Jack and Cokes, they were fine. Nothing fancy as we were there for the food. Now the one big issue, TIME, It is really good food but the wait it so long we thought maybe someone picked up our order. The bowling alley part was fairly busy when we arrived but had cleared out quite a bit while we waited on our food. I wasn't expecting instant fast food as it is better then that but to the point where you think you missed your food seems a bit long. The staff was all nice and pleasant, I see a lot of complaints about some of the staff, either that person was not working or they have new people but we had no issues. The lounge was quiet and we had it to ourselves though there were quite a few people bowling. The burger was good, messy, but good. Well done and huge, the concept worked great and I am glad we got to eat here at least once more. The fries are fantastic, they were the best thing both times. The burgers are large and even I had trouble finishing mine with the fries, so the amount of food to the cost is great. Really enjoyed this and we have started off the Finding Frito search off right. I am not sure who is ahead on the contest yet but stay tuned! Not sure where we are heading next as Shana has yet to pick but we will let you loyal fans know as soon as we do!

Classic bowling ally grill. The burgers are good! A little noisy for some, but it is inside the facility, so be realistic. Parking can be a problem some times, but remember that there is a road going around the back that can let you exit out into the adjacent parking lot that has an easier exit than that of the bowling ally.

In light of recent news about Highland Lanes moving locations, I have to say that aside from the classic game of bowling what I'm going to miss most is the damn near perfection of Lewbowsi's Grill burgers. I don't think anyone knows what a true diner burger is until they've had one. I was immediately brought back to my childhood having a burger with my great grandfather and great grandmother and it was insane the sense of nostalgia it brought me. Lewbowski's Grill has won multiple awards and accolades including highlights from Yelp, so that alone should be enough to get you to jump in your car and get here while you can. The fries are cooked to perfection, the burgers are made to order, and you can hear the sizzle from your bowling lane if your lucky enough. No over the top antica, no frills or crazy recipes, just some damn juicy and flavorful burgers. My friend and I were in awe as we each took our respective first bites and we ate in utter silence as an homage to what the kitchen served. If burgers were zero calorie I'm pretty sure i'd be here at least once a week if it were up to me lol. Damn now I'm craving a Lebowski's Grill cheeseburger and might have to sacrifice the diet later this week...

On a recent trip to Austin I stopped in to Lebowski's for a burger, tots, and soda. Sadly I must report things have changed in the 2-3 years since my last visit. It's no longer special but simply OK and my review reflects that. Maybe the magic of this spot has run out. Sad.

Lebowski’s Grill at Highland Lanes has the best burgers I’ve had in Austin! I first tried them at a food festival downtown and have been wanting to go to Highland Lanes bowling for the burgers! Even if you don’t want to bowl, go when there’s league play so you can watch some impressive bowlers. But, back to the food, you order at the counter and food is ready quickly. We ordered the infusion with bacon and patty melt, the two most popular burgers. Sooo good, the flavors are excellent. I wanted more out of the tots and fries because they were kind of bland but I’m not letting them deter from the burger! Go try one right now!!
