Summer Movie Nights at Top Notch 14 Jun 2013, 6:31 am
Want a casual movie night at a local burger joint? Then Top Notch is the place to be this summer. Every Friday night through the end of August you can see a favorite movie and get a great meal. Bring a lawn chair and your adult beverage of choice. Movies start at 8PM.This carhop has been in business since 1971. It has a great vintage feel about it including the drive-in, shakes, and movie night on the weekends. I think the only thing that has changed on the menu since it opened is the addition of the veggie burger. Don't forget to check out the paddle used in the movie Dazed and Confused filmed here. Hands down Top Notch gets our vote for best burger in Austin. Located at 7525 Burnet Road.
