Many Austin restaurants serve up killer burgers, but, like tacos, sometimes a burger tastes better on the run. Eater asked readers for their top picks for burger pit stops in Austin, which run the gamut of local chains, casual bar options, and even Spec's. For the purpose of this exercise, non-burger-focused restaurants were excluded; that will be another map.
