This place has been voted "Best Hamburger in Austin" about 15 times since 1987, so I'm not sure why we waited this long. Hut's has a 50s atmosphere, and many of the framed newsclippings and photos on the wall appear to be from the 50s or earlier. The building was first occupied as Sammie's Drive-In in August of 1939.
I tried to order one of their hot (spicy) burgers, so I could compare it to my favorite hamburger place, the Casino el Camino (also on 6th). So I ordered the Chub burger or something like that. It tasted good, but it wasn't all that hot. The Buffalo Burger at Casino el Camino is still 3x better than any burger I've ever had.
If you like 50s music and atmosphere, you'll like this place. I enjoyed seeing the heavily pierced guy with 50% tatoo coverage and the girl who looked like she had come straight from the set of Happy Days, except that she was wearing very dark lipstick and her hair was dyed pitch black. Our waitress was outstanding.
