Interesting burger concept taken from South Korea with sealed burgers located in the heart of Texas. We ordered three spinning buns, the classic spin, steak spin, and Nutella. The classic was okay, the steak was good, the Nutella was disappointing. The steak was like a Philly cheesesteak. The Nutella was off maybe because during the sealing process it cooks the fruit a bit? Also the sealing process makes it a nice grab and go meal. If I were to come back I would stick to the steak spin. Also if you're dining with someone no need for both of you to get fries you get plenty with one combo! The ambience is fast casual and the service is fast and friendly.

I had never heard of Korean style pressed burgers before coming here. They are good- but different. The press seals the burger so its hot, juicy with a crust. This burger doesn't have your classic lettuce and tomatoes on it- a bit more like a hot pocket. Overall I really liked the burger. The fries were delicious- not soggy at all- and the nutella was a great dessert. The ambience is fast casual and clean. There was plenty of seating when we stopped by. Service was friendly and burgers were out within 15 minutes. Overall Id recommend if you are looking to try a new food trend!

I've had UFO burgers before and really liked them a lot, so I was excited to see that Austin had a spot that sold these as well! One misconception though, some descriptions label this restaurant as Korean style. And while this style was trending in Korea, the flavors are all still American. I think this is a really fun concept and a fun way to eat burgers. But in terms of burgers and the food itself, it wouldn't be my top pick. So I can see people coming here once for the experience, but not necessarily coming back for the food. However, I really would love if they added some Korean flavor styled burgers to the menu! It would also set them apart from other restaurants outside of the shape of the food to ensure people to come back. (And it's what I had originally expected it to be, so I'm sure other people have probably thought the same.) As for the actual food itself, I got the steak spin. It was very reminiscent of a Philly cheese steak. The meat was really good, but the provolone cheese was a little too strong for my personal liking. I liked the onion rings a lot though! They were super crispy and super light. The breading was thin but had a really nice crunch. I would definitely get the onion rings again!

Came from Dallas in part for this place. It looked so cool and it lived up to the hype. It almost tasted like a stuffed Philly cheesesteak. The guy was cool and it was a good price. I was cool to see it made in person. Definitely would go back.

Great tasting food! Very Kind Workers and great service! Plus it's unique! Like Burgers/sandwich hot pockets where all the good stuff doesn't fall out while you're eating. Looked Clean inside, and in a Nice quiet location too!

I really liked the concept and the burgers were good but not better than other burgers I had. It was just very expensive for what it was. The workers were nice and there is a couple of tables inside to sit at but I took my order to go and it was still warm when I got home.

Spinning buns is a great fast casual burger joint located in the beautiful neighborhood, Mueller. The staff were friendly and the food was tasty. I got the spicy spin and the classic spin with a side of fries. Not only were the burgers tasty, but you can't beat these low prices! Give them a try if you are in the Mueller area.

This was our first time to eat here and we were so impressed! The gentleman that took our order was so nice and helped answer our questions. The food was AMAZING. The onion rings and fries were not basic or boring-seasoned perfectly and so delicious. The burger was SO good. I loved that this was unique AND delicious.

Food was great! My son really liked and "approved" S'mores spin. I really enjoyed shroomy spin! Very tasty and it had unique flavor. Service was pleasant and ambiance was nice. I would definitely recommend this hidden gem to burger spin lovers.

The service was good but I did not like the food. The workers are very earnest and are helpful when you order. The food is prepared quickly. The whole concept of the food is more so a gimmick. My husband loves things to do with aliens so he wanted to try this out. I didn't finish my hamburger, I didn't like the taste. I also thought the fries were bland. The place itself is similar to any other fast food restaurant. There are some tables outside in the back if you'd like some fresh air.
