Guy Fieri heads here for some of the best burgers in town . Try the Buffalo Burger (coated in wing sauce , topped w/ blue cheese ) or the Amarillo Burger w/ fresh roasted serrano chiles & cilantro mayo .

Alex Baeza

Flew into Austin after 10pm and were looking for a place to eat. My buddy suggested this place. Great burgers and the kitchen stays open late . I had the buffalo burger and it was delicious!

Rob Crawford

Burgers are amazing. We tried 3 different type of burgers & every one of us loved them. Bloody Mary is excellent;. you can order them on a "hot" scale 1-10, 10 = the hottest. I got a 5, it was hot!

Austin Chronicle

Killer jukebox . Pool tables . Huge, juicy burgers . Psychotronic movies . Lounging with a post-apocalyptic flair. Casino keeps the best parts of dark and surly pub life alive and well .

Food Network

"The best burger in town ." Juicy and tender, the 12-ounce monsters come topped with everything from cheese and thick-cut bacon to roasted Serrano peppers and Texas-hot buffalo sauce . Read more

Get the Buffalo burger . I hate blue cheese so I get it with provolone.This is the best burger joint in the state of Texas! I’m not a french fry person but the chili verde fries are perfect!

Cece Gardon

Any burger . Any time. Chili verde fries are the best ever. I'm not a fries sort of person but get between me & these fries & i will happily slap your hand away. (Yes they are that good)

Noah B

Don’t sleep on the grilled chicken club . One of the best chicken sandwiches in town .

Taylen

The Bloody Marys have a heat scale from 1-10. The 8 is made with a Carolina Reaper (the hottest natural pepper known). Order accordingly.

Anthony De Rosa

Best burger in Austin . Walk to the back and order the Amarillo Burger and verde cheese fries . Take your time and enjoy a Shiner at the bar while you wait.

Serious Eats

Known for the ultimate late night food-- 3/4-pound burgers . Each burger variety is named after your favorite city (Buffalo, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc.) and served with fresh-cut fries .

Umair Zia

This has been my favorite burger place ever. Having not been here in 2 years, I forgot and my favored Hopdoddy. It was a reminder how perfect this burger place is. Seriously. Amarillo burger . Perfect.

Stephanie Moreno

One of my favorite dive bars of all time. It's dark, they have a great jukebox , amazing burgers and full bar . Enjoyed alone or with a group. Can't recommend enough.

Cece Gardon

Amazing burgers & fries ! Don't be put off by the decor. Just walk in & order. Excellent everything! Obviously everything is that good. This place is a winner.

Nathan Millard

Really really good burgers and good heavy music . If you're on your own don't order the burger with a separate portion of fries - you won't finish both.

Morgan Spenceley

At night, Casino El Camino makes me feel like I'm in the belly of some kind of pirate ship. The Buffalo Burger is one of the best burgers in Austin . Also... jukebox .

Steve Poland

This isn't just the best burger in Texas, it's the best burger on earth. That's right, I said it. Chicago burger on jalapeño roll med-rare with fries .

Randy Shumate

I come in here on the weekends just for the bloody mary . There are 10 levels of heat and it comes with a slider , meatball , cheese , pizza roll , celery , olive , onion and bacon for 7 bux.

Erik Michielsen

Buffalo burger FTW. Great vibe, music , staff and back patio . Pool tables solid too.

Steve Basile

Perhaps resting on their giant burger laurels a bit, still the best jukebox in town , cool staff & usually a pretty damn good burger . Order at the back as soon as you arrive, tip the cook and smile.

exfm

These guys make burgers out of anything beef , buffalo, armadillo the list goes on for miles. That said they do it best. You'll feel like a true red blooded Texan once you've had a burger and beer here

Michael Copeland

You have to get the Buffalo Burger . Don't let them tell you that "hot" is hot. "Hot" is hot but it's not that hot. For hot enthusiasts, go with "Explosive." Either way though, it's a damn fine burger .

Ipequey

Don't pass by them. This is old school Austin 6th street; A bar with personality. Get a good beer and some Tex-Mex food! Perfect for sobering up after the long crawl down 6th street.

Adobe SXSW

Some of the best burgers and strongest drinks in Austin may be found at Casino el Camino. Buffalo burger ? Amarillo burger ? Try them both but not in the same sitting. Read more

Regis M

At 11am felt like it was 11pm, it's dark inside and the music kick ass. Burgers are awesome but you will wait at least 30minutes, be patient it's worth it! FYI: Try to Amarillo if you like spice!

Valerie Brown

Get the green chili sauce on your fries loved by all who enjoy a bloody mary . The quality of the burger is great here but the flavor did not blow my mind as a professional burger eater.

Cece Gardon

Everything I’ve ever had! Amazing burgers ! Very tasty and juicy! Chili verde fries are too good for words!

Paddy

The buffalo burger is probably the best burger I've ever had. The verde fries also great and the Bloody Mary's looked truly impressive.

Cari Vincent

Had the grilled chicken club . It was delicious. The chicken was moist and the bacon was crisp but not over done. The fries were crispy , but also thick. Excellence! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Mike Torres

Friendly service , the wait for your meal is a bit long but it is definitely worth it! Take your time soaking up the atmosphere and a beer ;)

Amber Joslin

Best spicy hot buffalo burger in town and hottest bloody mary in the world if you can tolerate the loud punk music . Just don't go on a Sunday when this place smells like vomit.

Samantha Young

Unpretentious punk bar serving mean burgers . Love it! I spotted this joint on my new Supper app: http://supper.mx/places/casino-el-camino-austin/

Frankie M

Amazing, huge burgers . Haven't had one I didn't like, and love that they're open past the bars closing.

Sean Loyless

Get the Amarillo burger on a jalapeño cheese bun with Serrano peppers . Your mouth will love you; your rectum will hate you.

The 'explosive' [buffalo burger ] packs a lot of flavor and although the heat kicks, it doesn’t build up. Chili-smothered foot-long hot dogs are a worthy alternative. —WC http://bit.ly/NlI3mX

Parth Patel

Those burgers are fantastic. Best I've had in Austin and top 3 overall!

Scott Willenbrock

Great burgers , spooky cool atmosphere, decent music ... Worth checking out. I'll be back again!

Andee Derby-Aguilera

Cece Gardon

Chili Verde fries . Any and all burgers . Great bar . Great service

Pearson - Always Learning

Award Winning Burgers ! Expect a wait. A Typical Neighborhood Bar --if your neighborhood is dark, cool and twisted.

Allen Arcade

Really fantastic burgers . Try the Amarillo burger with extra bacon .

Brian Smith

Amazing as always. Staff is friendly and food is great. Oh yeah, and the atmosphere kills it!

April Thompson

The K.C. Burger . Smokey BBQ sauce , grilled onion and cheddar cheese .

Dianey Sandoval

This is one of my favorite bars on 6th.. The bartenders are great!! Cool spot...

Steve Poland

Try the Buffalo Burger . Medium sauce was quite hot, can't imagine hot or explosive(!)... Explosive something for sure! #delicious

Cece Gardon

Buffalo Burger with provolone cheese . It’s incredible! Best burger ever.

Dianey Sandoval

The burgers are huge!! Has the Chicago with crispy bacon ... Love the bartenders !!

Laura Maria Aguirre

Love the Amarillo burger and he green chili cheese fries . Hubby and I split the fries and each had our own burgers and cocktails for about $40. Not your ordinary bar .
