Buddy’s Burger, which offers a small but classic burger menu, opened recently at 9001 Cameron Rd. near East Rundberg Lane, in North Austin. The concept comes from two University of Texas students and a University of Houston grad, all family members, who opened the burger house mid-pandemic after realizing it was just the beef injection the neighborhood needed. Though Buddy’s does provide some indoor and outdoor seating, the concept aims to offer a high-end burger experience via the drive-thru.
