Take A Break From Sitting In Traffic And Refuel At The Texas Road Stand, A Humble Burger Joint

We've all been stuck in a traffic jam without enough snacks to power us through - isn't it the worst feeling?

The Texas Roadstand is an unassuming eatery on State Highway 21 that serves up the juiciest, most delicious burgers you've ever had.

Highway 21 is a fairly busy thoroughfare - after all, it just barely misses the Austin metro.

Next time you find yourself bumper-to-bumper in the Cedar Creek area, take a break from sitting in traffic and stop at The Texas Roadstand Drive-In for a good burger.

Everything is made from scratch at this unassuming little dive, and the atmosphere is so quaint, you'll immediately feel right at home.

It's a decidedly no-frills joint - you won't see white tablecloths or fancy décor - but that's part of the charm. Plus, when the food is this good, things like fancy cutlery are of minimal importance.

The menu is relatively small, featuring only a handful of burgers to choose from.

Less variety yields better quality, however, ensuring each burger receives the undivided attention it deserves.

Opt for a classic, or step outside your comfort zone with unique toppings such as grilled jalapeno and fried eggs.

All burgers come with either fries or tater tots, plus an order of the restaurant's legendary Roadstand Pickles.

If you aren't big on red meat, there's also a grilled chicken sandwich and veggie burger available.

Barring any absolutely necessary ethical or dietary restrictions, however, we recommend going with a good old-fashioned burger. The Angus beef patties are shaped by hand each day, and you can really taste the difference.

Once you have your meal in hand, either take it to go or grab a seat on the cozy outdoor patio.

When the weather is nice, nothing compares to enjoying a few moments with Mother Nature before getting back on the road.

Address: 962 TX-21, Cedar Creek, TX 78612.

Hours are 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. (or sellout - whichever comes first) Wednesday-Saturday.
