There are certainly plenty of places that Austin locals think of when they think of places that have been around ... well... forever. For me, one of those is Top Notch on Burnet Rd. This old-school drive-in has changed it's decor very little since it opened in 1961, and has been featured in movies from Dazed & Confused to Varsity Blues -- but that's not why I go.
Classic, simple menu featuring char-grilled burgers and fried chicken that will make you want to slap-yo-mama, this place is the real deal. In my household, the favorite is the 'Longhorn special' -- a two-patty burger with 1000 island dressing -- that must have been an answer to the 'Big Mac' when it was put on the menu.
So, if you're feeling nostalgic or want to have a truly classic Austin experience, then I highly recommend.
