I came across a post in the Austin Motorcycling subreddit called “100 mile burger,” where riders share their favorite burger spots that are just far enough away to make the ride feel like an adventure. I saved a handful of recommendations and decided to check one off my list today.

The ride out to Tex Miller’s in Cameron took about an hour and a half, winding through Hutto and Taylor. I’d been that way a couple of months back, so I already knew it would be a good route.

Tex Miller’s is a cozy, family-run spot serving up tasty smashed burgers. I went for the bacon cheeseburger, and it did not disappoint – juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of messy. Paired with an ice-cold root beer, it was the perfect reward after cruising through the Texas heat with temps pushing into the 90s.

Tonight I grilled some burgers, which felt like the perfect meal for Memorial Day. Earlier in the day, I went for a run around the neighborhood and caught the scent of meat grilling in several backyards. It was such a nice, summery atmosphere. Probably not as enjoyable if you’re vegan, I imagine.

Finally Tried the Amarillo Burger at Casino El Camino in Austin

 “Amarillo Burger” Austin, 2025

Today I finally got to try a burger that’s been on my list for years. I stopped by Casino El Camino on Sixth Street in downtown Austin and ordered the Amarillo Burger. This place regularly shows up on lists of the best burgers in Austin, and now I understand why.

The Amarillo Burger did not disappoint. It comes topped with roasted Serrano peppers that add just the right level of heat, and the patty itself is massive and cooked to perfection. I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to finish it, but it was so good I couldn’t stop until the last bite.

I also want to give a shoutout to the staff behind the bar and the cooks in the kitchen. Everyone was friendly, laid-back, helpful. Casino El Camino has a cool punk/horror vibe (and jukebox), making the entire experience even better.

If you’re ever in downtown Austin and craving a seriously good burger, I highly recommend checking Casino El Camino out.
