Salt Traders Coastal Cooking

Try the Wagyu Burger, an 8-ounce Akaushi beef patty with grilled onions, steak-soy sauce, double cheese and High Country’s special sauce on a fresh-baked pretzel bun.

Hat Creek Burger Company

We recommend starting off by sending the kids to their awesome playscape, ordering some fried pickles, and relaxing.

Pescatarians, vegans, vegetarians, and everyone in between, rejoice! Hopdoddy has a burger for you. From the Ahi Tuna, to the Impossible Burger, to the Thunderbird, there’s something for every palate and diet on the spectrum.

Central Texas-born, Mighty Fine does burgers and does them right! After you select your burger size, the only question is “Fries or no fries?” (Go Round Rock pro tip: The answer is always “Fries.”)

We checked, and not every day is a burger day. Looking for more restaurants? Check out the Go Round Rock Dining pages for an extensive listing of Round Rock establishments.
