Hopdoddy’s chicken burger, and it is not a fried fillet. A fresh-ground chicken patty with pepper-jack, steakhouse bacon, seared poblanos, pico de gallo, guacamole, lettuce and chipotle aioli. It tastes like a Tex-Mex plate in a bun, fresh and smoky at once.

About Hopdoddy Burger Bar
Hopdoddy opened on South Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas, in 2010, and the name gives away the idea: hops, as in craft beer, and a “doddy”, an old Scottish word for a hornless cow. It was built as a burger bar for a city that takes both food and drink seriously, with beef ground in-house and buns baked daily.
Around 40 burger bars, most of them in Texas and the western US.
