A long-time Austin, Texas, burger stand recently marked its 21st anniversary with a large public celebration. The event, held at the original P. Terry’s Burger Stand location, drew a significant crowd of customers and fans. A TikTok video posted by the business captured scenes from the gathering.
The video opens with a shot of the original P. Terry’s Burger Stand, which is described as a small white building with a teal awning. On-screen text in the video reads, “21 years of P. Terry’s ❤️.” A long line of customers was visible waiting at the drive-thru window and along the sidewalk.
The scene in the video then shifts to a yellow tent set up outside the restaurant. A man with white hair, who appears to be the founder P. Terry, and a woman were seen greeting fans, shaking hands, and posing for photos. A red tent nearby had a table stacked with black t-shirts.
Founders interact with a large, festive crowd in the parking lot
The camera in the video pans across a massive line of people stretching down the sidewalk and into the parking lot. The crowd is diverse, with many people waving, smiling, and holding up their phones to record. The Austin city skyline is visible in the background of the footage.
Several groups of fans proudly hold up black t-shirts in the video. The shirts read, “P. Terry’s 2024 ALL-NATURAL TOUR” on the back, listing various tour dates and locations. The shirts feature a colorful, retro-style logo.
The video concludes with more shots of the founders interacting with the crowd under the yellow tent. They were seen taking photos with fans who were holding their new t-shirts. The atmosphere in the video appears to be festive and celebratory.
The caption of the TikTok video states, “What a way to celebrate 21 years! ❤️ Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us!” The video transcript includes a line that appears to be a song lyric or quote: “You woo me until the sun comes up and you say, ‘We love you, Terrence.’ Suddenly Terrence and Sally broke up.”
Online comments highlight customer appreciation and feedback
The video’s comment section included messages from viewers. One comment stated, “thank you for everything you guys do as a company via giving back to Texans.” Another comment read, “3$ CLEAN burgers… genuinely love yall.” Customer appreciation can take many forms, from heartfelt comments to unexpected charges, such as a recent case where a woman in Hawaii was surprised by a kitchen appreciation fee on her restaurant bill.
Other comments expressed gratitude. “Thank you P Terry! ❤️” one viewer wrote. Another comment said, “Thank you for the double cheeseburger special!” A further comment read, “Thank you for my tshirt 🥰.”
One comment in the section offered a suggestion: “Stop using canola oil.” The comments did not indicate whether the business owners responded to the feedback. The video did not provide information about the company’s oil usage policy. Feedback about restaurant practices can range from suggestions to shocking discoveries, such as when a Kansas City woman filmed a live grasshopper in her Chili’s salad.
