Restaurants in Austin

“The food is amazing! Or let’s say everything here is amazing here in Freddo's! The coffee is high quality. I’ve been coming here since late 2022 and always try different things (pretty much everything on the menu by now) Great atmosphere and study/work place!It’s rare to see a café place with two-stories! This place used to be the Wells Fargo bank like 20 years ago lol and my dad was one of the managers here when it was a bank back in the 2000's!”

“I travel a lot for work and loved coming here whenever I was in town! The tree inside is beautiful and makes it a really unique atmosphere. Tara makes THE best espresso martinis, she’s so friendly and always made me feel welcomed. Had some less positive experiences with some of the other staff so I pretty much only came here for Tara. Didn’t see her last time I was in town, I really hope they didn’t lose her because she really made this place stand out from all the other options nearby!!!”

“First? Very expensive. Highest quality food AND service, but you WILL pay for it.The menu changes every month so not for picky eaters. Very cognizant of food allergies though.Quite possibly the greatest hamburger I've ever eaten. Amazing.$36 burger before gratuity, so they know what they have, but still Austin's best hamburger... until it's replaced with something else on the menu.”

“Super easy and chill Tex-Mex spot with yummy and affordable margaritas. Note that there is almost always a wait unless you’re dining solo during lunch and happy to sit at the bar.”

“Clark's is such a special spot. I personally don't love sitting inside because they have such a cozy little patio and I love sitting out there on a cool evening as the sun begins to set. It's surrounded by trees, warm lights, and neon signs. But we snagged a last minute reservation and all that was available was standard seating. They really set the mood as the evening progresses with the tea light candles and dimmed lights. We were greeted and seated immediately. Carrie was our waitress and she was friendly, attentive, warm and so easy going. It had been a while since I had dinner here but I knew I wanted crudo plate, it is probably my favorite item from the cold bar. Clark's is a treat. If you're on vacation in ATX, it's a must. Or on any day where you feel like having the freshest, delectable seafood.”

“Perfect Match Kemuri Tatsu-Ya combines two of my favorite things in a match I absolutely loved Describing itself as both a Japanese izakaya and Texas smokehouse, Kemuri honors the flavors of Japan while bringing a distinctive Texas spin Items I loved included the brisket served with Tsukemen noodles, the smokehouse flavored bbq tuna collar with nori seaweed wraps as well as the chinmi "sake accompaniments" that you often see only at more authentic Japanese establishments As we enjoyed our sake and sampled a variety of delicious bites, it was very clear that Austin's diverse food scene has got game It's easy to be skeptical of any fusion restaurant but Kemuri is refreshingly creative with bold flavors, great portions and unique items Sweet and Sour Mozuku Shooter $4 / Taiyaki Cornbread $6.5 / Jellyfish $6 / Ankimo $13 / Beef Tartare $19 / Tsukune $7 / Beefy Shrooms $14 / BBQ Tsukemen with Brisket $15 / BBQ Eel $16 / Bento +$15 / Tuna Collar $35 / Tamago Pudding $6 Kemuri Tatsu-Ya (Austin, TX) Seating is both indoor and outdoor in the back patio. If outdoors, there are flies but they have fly fans. Reservations are recommended on Resy and credit cards including Apple Pay are accepted.”

“Our servers, Alex and Richard, and the rest of the staffs were beyond phenomenal. They were very attentive throughout our meal, refills and asking if we have any special requests. The food were very tasty and great quality. Highly recommended!”

“Great little Speakeasy that was a real speakeasy during prohibition.Tucked under Moonshine, the vibe was great, bar tenders were fantastic.Reservation is best and check the details.”

“We were blown away by this place! Service was outstanding, but the food was next level. We ordered the salad, shishito peppers and nuts for an appetizer and then came the smash burgers. Everything was so good! We finished our meal with the best carrot cake any of us have ever had. We’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely incredible dining experience! Went last night with the husband and the night from start to finish was amazing. The entire team was wonderful, from the extremely personable and friendly host for the night (I believe his name was Kavian) to all the chefs, staff and a great surprise was meeting Chef Ling herself!The courses were to die for and the portions were perfect. We can't wait to come back and share the experience with some friends!”

“Fantastic pizza. As a New Yorker, I was impressed to find actual, true New York pizza in Austin. If you can, sit at the bar where you can watch them make the pizzas. Delicious and inexpensive. Great find!”

“The ambiance at this restaurant is truly exceptional, and the food is great. However, I believe there's room for improvement in the vegetarian options; some dishes were explicitly unavailable ( The curries had shrimp paste in them, which cannot be removed ) in vegetarian versions. Nevertheless, it's a fantastic spot for a date night, with a bustling atmosphere and live music adding to the charm. I highly recommend trying the Vegan Yellow Curry—it was a standout dish, even though I initially hesitated to order it. As for cocktails, the Tropical Asian was absolutely fantastic.Vegetarian options: I recommend talking to the waiter before you order as the base of veg curries also have shrimp paste which cannot be removed.”

“I had to try this place & so glad i did.. not only was the baklava so good but the service was great too, they are very welcoming and warm.. makes you feel at ease & made me feel like this is a place i will be returning every chance and/or everytime i get to go to ”

“Unique. Should try. Fries were plain so I’ll try something else next time. Everything else was good. I gave 4 because I know there are better burgers out there. But if I frequented the area I could regularly stop in.”

“Wonderful, 2 bite street tacos. get a bunch to try if you want to fill up. My favorites were the carnitas and suadero. Nice outdoor seating area with other food trucks to try from ”

“Very hip outdoor seating area with great Asian Barbecue fusion. Service was okay as the servers really just deliver your food to your table without saying anything. You order in a line inside.”

“First off, they are incredibly friendly and easygoing. Just being here makes you feel good.Next, their coffee. They let me try a sample of their drip coffee and it was fantastic. Flavorful, fun, fruity, balanced. I ordered a pour over (pink bourbon) and it was expertly made. Perfect extraction, clean, smooth, full fruity goodness.So, naturally, I had to get back in line and order an espresso drink. Again, so so so good. Perfect extraction on the espresso made for one of the most delicious cortados I’ve ever had.Important to note that they seem (at least at the time of me writing this) to specialize in fruitier, funkier natural processed coffees. So if that is your style then you will LOVE this place as much as I do.Also important to note that this is served out of a food truck. So there is no indoor seating, but plenty of wonderful outdoor seating. Also all drinks are served in to-go cups, so consider bringing your own cup if that’s your style :)”

“OMG, this place is beyond GREAT food restaurants you frequent in Austin. I’m a local resident for decades. THIS is where you want to go and eat!!! For real ASAP!Wheelchair accessibility: Convenient with ramp!”

“What a lovely spot in downtown in Austin! They have a fantastic and thoughtful cocktail menu and fantastic spirit selection. I enjoyed a pour of local Texas Whiskey Milam & Greene ?”

“Perfectly prepared Seafood, comfortable but elegant ambiance, and a great location. A nice high end but low-key spot right near the iconic Austin music spot, Antone’s.The kind crab was perfectly cooked. The braised greens had the subtlest kiss of Serrano pepper. It is seafood with a whisper of the south. The chef is James Beard award winning MASHAMA BAILEY​ of Savanah, so that makes a lot of sense.The vibe was relaxed but high-end.They bill this as a southern spot. I think it is more a seafood place with a whisper of the South (not to be confused with “Texan cuisine” a cousin but something entirely its own thing.)The restroom is hard to find - it is in the hotel lobby but they do not have good signage. It is buried in the back of a second elevator bank area. They have a neon sign in a different spot announcing that it is NOT the restroom - but nothing of its equal to show you where you should go / where it is.They set up shop diagonally across from Eddie V’s (seafood and chop house) which has been there for decades.Vegetarian options: This was the one area of real opportunity: there were very few options for a vegetarian / vegansDietary restrictions: Greedy for keto and gluten allergy folks!Parking: No garage. No street parking $15 for first 3 hours of valet.Kid-friendliness: Not a kid spot.Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair accessible throughout”

“Aba is consistently good. Been in Austin a couple times and in Chicago. Atmosphere is super cool and vibey. We sat at the bar and were able to get food- Paige our bartender and server was the BEST. we will be back”

“We enjoyed some great food at this place that was filled with a laid-back yet energetic atmosphere. We had the jalapeño cheddar sausage, chicken apple sausage, turkey sandwich, fries, boudin balls, and fried pickle spears with a variety of drinks. I almost forgot the yummy snicker/ice cream dessert. My request would be to offer it without Snickers because it was a bit thick and has potential issues with allergies. All of it was good, and we'll be back to try more of the drinks and grub with our next visit.”

“I was skeptical of eating sushi in Austin, being far from the ocean. But a couple trusted foodie friends told me to eat at Uchi.And it was amazing in all ways. Buzzy vibe, not classic Japanese decor, and it totally worked.Everything on the menu looked incredible and I couldn't decide. So I did a custom omakase, where I told them how many courses and what I liked.The sushi chef delighted me with each of the 7 courses. Portion sizes were nice by sushi standards. And I opted for a savory dessert course of foie gras sushi - heavenly.If you love sushi, then Uchi is a must do when you are in Austin.”

“It's great, it's pet friendly, excellent food, and chill staff.I had their Reuben sandwich, The pastrami is smoked the cut and very flavorful, couldn't taste the sauerkraut (excellent place to try a Reuben for first timers), The rye bread is very mild and slightly sweet very unique spiral pattern and delicious. Wife had the pretzel, ? she wasn't that hungry but said the beer cheese sauce and ground mustard was delicious. She made me try the last bite of pretzel, it was slightly sweet which was interesting and appreciated, but dipped in their cheese beer sauce was next level. Their flavor combinations just hit different in the best way.Wife had the American lager as she's prefers Coors & Miller lite, I went with their dark lager which was bold yet smooth. Definitely appreciate the realistic ABV levels so you can do something with the rest of your day lol. They're green tea jello shots are actually pretty tasty and fun to order if you're celebrating something.Definitely a bring your own friends place, Not somewhere I would advise the single ready to mingle crowd. But if you got some good people with you you're guaranteed to have a good time here.Can definitely recommend.Parking: Parking is off 5th Street, behind the building. They have their own lot (Yes you can enter directly from the parking lots as well).Google maps will take you to the front of the building though. (Which there are a couple of spots and a couple of handicap spots only, there is also a 10 ft double-sided bike rack)Do not attempt to park anywhere else in the front or businesses beside it they will tow.(Cesar Chavez and the streets connecting between 5th are all both directions, so it doesn't matter how you get there if you will get there)”

“Lucky Robot is a popular restaurant in the South Congress district and typically has a wait time of 1+ hours. They offer indoor seating, which constantly has the AC running. My friend and I opted for the outdoor seating since it was a pleasant evening. They were busy, so it took 45 minutes to place an order and get the food. We ordered the Spicy Edamame, which came with a side of a dry, spicy sauce. This is some of the best edamame I've had, and it's a 10/10. We also got the Voltron and Sea-3PO rolls. The Voltron was 9/10 and my favorite because it was topped with different fish, so each bite tasted a little different. The Sea-3PO is a house popular, but I give it a 6.5/10 because it didn't taste that great.”

“The food is really good and the staff seem happy and nice and knowledgeable. Had the $16 biscuit sandwich and it was great. Could complain, I guess, about the price to portion size ratio but I guess that’s how it is everywhere these days.”

“Our server is literally an angel. He is so attentive, so nice, and been so great. The fgood is amazing. I drive here all the way from Hutto for this food. It's a 25 mile drive.”

“Spectacular experience at the bar 6pm Saturday night 4/27! Walked in and every seat was taken at the bar, but one of the bar tenders saw that we were struggling to find a spot and immediately jumped into action. He welcomed us and let us know he's working on getting us in. He was able to rearrange a reservation on the fly and get us a couple of seats quickly, which was great because we were in a hurry to eat and make it to a show. The next bar tender then took incredible care of us with amazing drinks and super quick and attentive service. We got our orders in right away and the food came out quickly even though the place was busy. Crab cake was on point as it always is. The entire experience was wonderful, but the bar staff going above and beyond was what really impressed. Cheers to that crew!!!”

“I’ve been sitting on this review for a while. I’m definitely not one to tarnish any 5 star ratings!! My experience was mixed. In part by the fact that I’ve spent countless moments at midnight trying to get reservations with no luck. When I finally snagged my first res, I was shocked to be sitting next to a guy that had been multiple times (even in the past week). Most of the others also had the good fortune to be “frequent patrons”. There was one other person who said she’d been trying to grab a reservation for a while. TBH, really didn’t sit right with me.As we all know, these reviews are opinion based only. I can only give my honest assessment of my experience.The vibe seemed catered to a younger crowd for sure. I definitely felt out of place. The “F” word was used quite liberally by the staff. No big deal, just kind of off pudding when you’re paying so much. Again, I realize this may not be a popular opinion. Unfortunately we also got on the topic of church camp and “those types” which stung quite a bit since I have a strong faith base. Not really the fault of the staff but she was very much in agreement to the conversation. I am not suggesting that the chef participated in any of these convos because he didn’t.Yes, the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. I got the extra cocktail menu where we get a fun drink paired with some of the courses and also participated in the extra course which was way too fishy and slimy for me. All in all, my bill was slightly over $400. Since I just didn’t have the best experience, needless to say, it was too expensive for me.My biggest suggestion would be to not go solo.Parking: Very difficult to find.”

“This was the absolute best steak dinner I have ever had! They have a special oven from Europe that cooks everything to perfection. I plan to drive down from DFW just to eat here!”

“Addison was AMAZING! Personable, and felt like a friend. Had the best recommendations :) the dumpling appetizers are a must! The wellness charge at the restaurant did catch us by ”

“Glad to know I can request everything not spicy including the Mac and the fries!That being said huge portions, great price, outstanding flavor! Love the rustic country vibes.”

“The honey badger drink was good. I like the decor to the place. It is a bit south off riverside. They have a cool vibe and the blend is nice. The staff were nice too. Kinda hard to find parking and dont park in the Dq parking lot.”

“I’ve been coming here for almost a year straight and Alex has been the best. He not only remembers my drink but remembers me by name. The drinks are always on point and the atmosphere is great. You can definitely tell he loves his job and the customers there definitely appreciate him! Anything said less than that is just crazy talk.”

“My go to coffee shop! Great atmosphere, and not a bad location. Parking is limited but I don't care too much because I mostly ride a motorcycle. The coffee isn't the best, but it's not terrible in any way at all. More important, the Baristas that give great recommendations and make each beverage with love.-They do require a purchase to access the wifi but I mean it's a business. The cheapest drink is the rainwater I think. Maybe a drip coffee.Also, they're open 24/7 WHICH IS HUGE. The only late night study spot in Austin and this makes them really stand out.Great spot easy 5 stars.”

“Tropicana is a fun place to relax and enjoy the games abit on the grimy side but the folks are nice and it’s pretty chill plus you can smoke inside a plus for me!”

“Great waders friendly faces and in the morning that's exactly what you want seeVegetarian options: This is a place that you could honestly just go in there and tell him exactly what you want and you will get your mealDietary restrictions: They are very good in omitting depending on your allergy intake”

“Great place to work for a few hours or longer. That’s kind of why everyone is there, so the atmosphere is right. You get a wifi password with purchase that lasts I think 3 hours from when you start using it. Staff were super friendly too :)”

“Experienced the best ever service !! Made my day….arrived 6am and certain circumstances prompted me to hang around to 8:45a. Placed order, ate, and after couple of rounds of coffee had never been so glad to have had breakfast here being served by the most gracious and hospitable Norberto Gonzalez and not just me! I was seated in a booth close to register and witnessed every single/party walking in and being served with such sincere hospitality as Norberto displayed. Lived long enough to still be able to see genuine and excellent customer service- even if it’s something you don’t see in the food industry too often these days - pay Denny’s on Ben White in Austin a visit and see for yourself if you’re lucky to be served by Norberto “G.O.A.T.” !!”

“My friend and I were both quite surprised about how they added more items on the menu since the last time we came here. I wanted the lasagna but they didn’t have it so I opted for the bourbon bacon cheeseburger instead and my friend ordered the bacon avocado cheeseburger, and she said it was delicious.We also noticed the cheap plastic partition out and it made the entire dining experience much more pleasant and enjoyable.In terms of the staff, they have always been professional and attentive.”

“My husband and I had almost given up on Waffle House but were pleasantly suprised by the vibe, cleanliness and amazing customer service at THIS specific waffle house in Austin. Our serve Tae was amazing! Friendly, kind, acted like she liked her job and the customer service she showed to every patron she helped was a breath of fresh air. So many of us get on here just to be express the negatives so I thought I'd write a review expressing how much we enjoyed this location!”

“This Food truck venue is a really cool spot to stop and try a variety of different cusines. The wife and I loved the pad cha (thai), bacon wrapped hotdogs, and empanadas were all delicious.”

“Great food truck for the price. I got the Hawaiian burger meal and two churros. Burger is solid, fries are okay, churros are great. In a bad neighborhood corner so be careful at night, cash only hablas Espanol y Poco Inglés but you can get by.”

“Four stars only becuase this one keeps breaking down! There are a couple machines in the Austin Airport and usually at least one is working if the other is down.I like this robot machine becuase it doesn't usually have a huge line. The Austin airport used to have local only businesses, and we liked that. 15 years after starting here, they have become money hungry and theres multiple Star*ucks instead. I used to be happy to direct visitors to the Fara Cafe (now a wheelchair seating area. The owner of Fara is a great guy.) or Austin Java instead.Anyways, Costa Coffe is good. It is a novelty, kind of, to see a machine making your drink through a window, and having the robot arm whizz it back and forth, but I like it.I usually get a hot Mocha, but I was happy to find a Milk drink (no caffeine) for when I need a late night treat. The costs is similar to most other coffee shops. It remembers your settings when you swipe your card so you don't have to enter your name and pin that releases the drink from the automated door.I have tried the Caramel Machiatto and a regular coffee as well. The system lets you adjust all the items in the drink (sweetener, flavoring, milk type etc) as long as its stocked.Walking past the 20+ deep line at the other places while already holding my Mocha is just a bonus to me, as the coffee is just as good.”

“We go to waffle House every single time we go to Austin! I love waffle House they have great food and great service and great people thank you!Parking: If they are busy it is somewhat difficult to park.”

“Ok ok ok…so I was hesitant about coming here but…if you are looking for your traditional street taco…not your place…BUT…the tacos non the less were amazing…try the chicken tinga and the pork belly…they were soooo good and accompanied by their green salsa was just great. Will definitely come back when visiting Austin!”

“Excellent service from the drive thru by Kevin.Kevin makes the difference in between this Jack in the Box located on north Lamar and Fairfield St.Kind. Attentive. Professional and well knowledge about the Manu.The tacos were fresh, crisp, and very tasty,It's so bad that all the Jack in the Box locations don't have more guys like Kevin.Excellent customer service from him.Location: North Lamar and Fairfield St.Parking: plenty free parking lot.Food: so good. Fresh and chispy.Customer service: EXCELLENT.Highly recommend.”

“This is definitely a must go place for vegan and vegetarian food. The Tarzen big salad was so filling, refreshing and filled with portobellos and broccoli. The veggie royale is also a great choice for a burger sandwich fusion. Many vegan eateries have high amount of salt and soy, but this place uses fresh and in house ingredients. The ambience was quite busy and the tables were kinda sticky, but those didn’t matter because the food was delicious!”

“This is THE bbq place. Wait times are huge, and it is a great experience waiting in line. The service is amazing.Almost all of the meats are as described by everybody else; just amazing. The sides however are satisfactory.”

“I had the jalapeno cheddar sausage and the spinach feta. These were one of the most delicious things I've had in Austin. They were packed full and very good size for the price. Warm and fresh ingredients flavorful dough. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend!”

“Food is crazy expensive, but definitely worth it. I was super surprised at how awesome the food was. Not a place I would go to every week because of pricing but definitely a once a month spot!”

“Brisket and pork ribs are amongst the best we’ve had in our BBQ journey in Austin even FranklinsThe sides that stood out were Mac and cheese and jalapeño grits. Green bean salad needs a kickCarson was amazing, was available to talk about BBQing and spent time with us before they openedService was superior. Atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable Thanks from visitors from oregon and Washington”

“Such a nice neighborhood spot. Super affordable for big portions and all of the flavors are really really good. The staff have always been very pleasant and helpful. We’re happy it’s in business!”

“We loved our barbecue meal at Terry Black’s! The line was long, but it moved quickly and it was nice to get a cold beer while waiting in line. We ordered the brisket, pork ribs and cheese sausage with mac & cheese, coleslaw, and beans & rice as sides. I don’t know why no one has mentioned the beans and rice in their reviews. They were phenomenal! The brisket was delicious as was the sausage. Don’t bother with the pork ribs stick with the beef ribs. The mac & cheese was also really good . Definitely hit up Terry Black’s if you are in Austin!”

“I've always had a great experience coming here. Today I stopped by desperately to get coffee and a quick bite, as my salon across the street doesn't have food choices.The gentleman this morning, made my day by gifting a vegan coffee cake for my morning. Thank you.”

“Our first visit but won’t be our last!After a LOT of research we made our way to Interstellar on Sunday. We had read that queues can be long and that sometimes when you get to the front items have run out, so we decided to do the waiting earlier in the day to ensure we were sorted.We arrived at 9am and were first in the line so were able to have some great chats with the staff (in particular how they had weathered the storm the previous night ensuring all smokers were tended to so that we could eat today!).It did not take long for others to arrive and by 11am the queue was LONG and the anticipation was building! Once the doors were opened (by John Bates, no less!), we ordered Half a pound of Brisket, Peach Tea Glazed Pork Belly, Half a pound of Pulled Lamb Shoulder, Smoked Scalloped Potatoes, Mac & Cheese, Jalapeno Slaw, Banana Pudding and Mexican Chocolate Rice Pudding.From the first bite we knew why this restaurant is currently Texas Monthly’s #2 for the state - it truly is next level!The brisket is amazing and the pork belly bites well, let’s just say I will still be talking about those for some time - they were that memorable!! And the sides and deserts were also in a class of their own. In particular, the potatoes are not what you’d expect at a standard barbecue joint, they were creamy and seriously so delicious and the Banana Pudding - I just wished we’d ordered two so I had even more to take home!Whilst we were eating we were visited by the man himself, John Bates, and he genuinely was interested in how we liked our meal and also discussed our travels. I thought it was a nice touch that he said hi to all his customers and took time out of his day to do so.With very full bellies and our leftovers packed up, we left having absolutely no doubt that we will return one day - although I expect the lines will be even longer next time!”

“Some of the most chill people. Great food, atmosphere, and service. Eat from them at about 1 every week. They even gave me free funnel cake fries for always eating their food. Please come here”

“10/10 experience from an unsuspecting location! Amir (owner) is the kindest person, takes real pride in his work, and serves the most delicious food! I am vegetarian and get the falafel garden plate and every vegetable is cooked to perfection plus the falafel is perfection. Also, the portion sizes are huge!!”

“I'm Haitian/Cuban Brooklynite and I've been looking for a place in Austin that will help with my Caribbean cravings for aLOOOOOOOOONG 6 years and WOW this place was definitely worth that wait. The flavors are layered, the meat is juicy and succulent the sauce is spectacular. The plantains and fries are fresh and crispy. You can tell that they care about the quality of their food. Now let's talk about presentation, just because they are food truck doesn't mean that they skimp on the visuals. I'm highly impressed and will definitely be back. So so so happy I found this gem ?”

“Moved to Austin recently and was looking for an authentic Jamaican spot. After finding this place, I don't think I will have to look any further! The bone-in jerk chicken with the rice & beans was packed with flavor and made with love. The plantains are the best i've ever tried, and the beef patty was amazing also. This place will leave you feeling satisfied and happy!”

“A place to find a delicious chicken sandwich—but it’s on a biscuit, so what’s not to love? The fries were also good, so what’s not to love?Well, it’s the small swarm of bees that show up the minute you open the spicy honey dip. Eat at your own risk.”

“Great food. We tried Chettinad country chicken, Chettinad goat curry, chicken 65, chilli fish, mango lassi. Every item was excellent. Peter and Manoj, both were very helpful. Please was clean and well maintained. Loved everything about this place. I will definitely go there again to try out other dishes we couldn’t try today. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Indian taste.”

“I like it when the menu is simple, contains a few things, and it is done quickly and well. Sitting outside is the only down side, but the burgers are delicious. Although this place is a few years older than Whataburger, it has that same Texas-style burger vibe. The kids love the hotdogs and soft serve ice cream.”

“I just moved in to town, and this was the first time I was able to eat out and I have zero regrets. The burger was so flavorful and not in a way where it’s just grease and seasonings. The cooks took care of this burger ?!! The staff is also super welcoming and actually interacted with us which in a burger spot is so welcoming in my opinion 10/10”

“I'm always on the hunt for some good chaat especially on the days I miss Mumbai. This place definitely hit the spot and I was glad that everything I ordered turned out good. The dahi in the dahi vada was delicious, perfectly sweet and savory however I wish the vada was spongier rather than so dense. The cheese vada pav barely had any cheese and I wish the authentic pav was used, nonetheless the vada itself was perfect! Crispy and not too spicy. The bhel puri was full of flavor, crunch and different textures. It feels kind of obscene to pay these prices for street food though and wish they could offer half portions for more affordable prices maybe? Service is fast though we did go at a random time of day and there are two benches nearby to sit at.”

“Simply divine! Everything from the cocktails and dishes to the attentive waitstaff, even to the decorations was incredible. There wasn't a single thing I ate that I wouldn't recommend (and I ate a lot! ?) I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Austin. A big thank you to the whole team that made our dinner exceptional. Worth every penny!”

“The scallops are fantastic. They came with grapefruit and orange segments in a brown butter. There were a ton of scallops. I'm used to getting 4 and I feel like I got 10 giant scallops.”

“Hannah is awesome! My first time here and she walked through the menu to find just the tacos I wanted. They were fantastic and the service was fast.The only change I would have made is to season the meat just a bit more but the sauces were outstanding. The real "con" is that the prices were a tad high.Overall, I highly recommend! This place was as good as I'd heard.”

“We came on the night they had a car show. Alot of old cars that were in town. People here are very nice, and the strawberry shake is the bomb. Chicken tenders were fresh and have very good taste. A plus for it all being fresh. .”

“Definitely a place where you want to take advantage of a beautiful day. Sitting indoors is extremely limited but cute. Food is fantastic lemonade & all smoothies are made with fresh fruit. Drinks are also super tasty ??”

“We had to call an audible and have our rehearsal dinner here. It was 10/10. Had 50 people show up throughout the evening, everyone had a great time. ABW always comes through - staff is 10/10 and beer is 10/10.”

“Had the lemon poppy seed loaf. So dense but flavor was good. My drink was delicious. Friend said her coffee was one of the best she had. I LOVE the building, their brand & logo is modern but luxurious.”

“First time at in and out and it met all expectations. The burgers were great, the sauce was great. I like how there were actual veggies in the burger! The fries are subpar and still I ate I all lol.”

“I don't understand the low rating here... Fresa's is awesome! Beautiful outdoor patio dining, it's a great place to come with a group and order large plates for sharing. We got all 4 of the big wood grilled meals, two different kinds of chicken, skirt steak, and shrimp. Also, these may be the best corn chips I've ever had anywhere on the planet. I don't know how they make them but they're awesome. Finish it off with churros and some coffee toffee crunch ice cream, you can't go wrong!”

“It's a classic In-and-out. You get in, you get out, end of story. Drier fries than most, not soaked in oil, but I don't see that as a bad thing, 'cause the burgers are fine ?”

“My team and I chose Tumble 22 for our lunch after a team building activity. Our waiter-Cody was phenomenal and attentive the moment I sat down. We arrived during lunch time which was about 12:30 or so and it was bustling but no long wait times. We all ordered easily and the food came out. Everything was delicious and seasoned to perfection. I had the Cobb salad with chicken bites and it comes with two heavenly eggs. *Chef’s kiss* It comes with ranch dressing that I got on the side and added as I desired. Everyone else’s food choices looked amazing as well. I ended up getting a tender to go and ate it for lunch the next day and it was just as good! Great spot for food and I’m glad there’s locations in Houston so I can visit as well!Parking: Lunch time may be difficult to find parking but it’s still easy to find.Kid-friendliness: Great for kids!”

“My go to for plant based protein and fiber. It is so healthy And fulfilling. It is a vegetarian menu that you can add meat as an option. This helps as I transition to a vegetarian lifestyle.Vegetarian options: It is a vegetarian menu that you can add meat as an option.”

“We keep trying to find the best steakhouses in Austin and Deans is always solid. Lawrence took care of us big time. Drinks were on point and the food was unique, well prepared and tasted incredible. We’ll be back!”

“My first experience of a shabu shabu restaurant.Great place to come for a date or a wholesome dinner with friends.Did not try omakase but still had a lot of options on ala carte. Tried the pork shoulders, seafood meatballs, new zealand salmon, cured escolar, local mushrooms, silken tofu, blue crab gyoza. Everything was fresh and tasted delicious.The ponzu and sesame complementary dips with the broth were very good but I definitely recommend the truffle sukiyaki dip on the side, it was delicious.The ambience is very cozy and nice.The staff is very nice, they were very helpful and took really good care of us.”

“Great vibes! The decor is very nice and welcoming. The drinks were the highlight of the dinner and the cocktails were top notch. We did the tasting menu and it was a mixed bag. The biscuits/English muffins were definitely the best thing to get. We were not told that a shrimp dish still had a tail on it and it was hidden by tempura so that was a little surprising. The deserts were too much, and left us uncomfortably full.”

“Experience was great! Service attention to detail was top notch and really sets the place apart. The food was great with the exception of a couple dishes which were ok. Chef Dan is fairly new and still changing menu to his style and the few dishes he's implemented were great. Would recommend as a fun experience and great date night spot.”

“Pre-fixed menu $125pp, very very good. Everything was tasty and was timed just right in between courses.Our first time here was a couple of years ago, we just ordered whatever on the menu for dinner. I say pre-fixe is better.”

“This is an EXPERIENCE and your tastebuds will WEEP. A spot you cannot pass up. Money is well worth the night you will have here.Two things to start off with:1) Pay the extra for the add-ons and the booze accompaniments if you can stomach it. I am a tiny woman so I did not add in the alcohol but added a wine for my meal and added one "add-on" to a dish. If you are paying a large amount of money for food - might as well go all the way. It's times like these I curse myself for having a small stomach.2) Book in advance and when you book our chefs said if you book the LAST seating they are sometimes able to give extra bites for an additional cost (again - if you have a big appetite this is a no brainer!)Let's start off with the location. Our Uber dropped us off and the driver along with myself and my husband had no idea where to go LOL. Who would've thought it'd be in a home! Super cute and once inside it is a really cool dining experience. You approach the hostess who asks if you'd like to add-on to your sushi pieces - we added black truffle to one and then presented us with a complimentary cocktail a grapefruit and rosemary spritz which was actually delicious which was surprising to me as I am not a grapefruit girl! She then had us wait in the lounge area for the rest of our dining group!Once inside the room I would compare it to a Michelin dining experience as you are treated with the utmost respect, the restaurant is spotless and these sushi chefs know what they are doing. The care put into their work is mesmerizing. It is actually BETTER than Michelin dining because it's laid back and full of laughs and conversation. It was a two hour meal of fun! We got to know the chefs and the other diners. The time flew by!This meal was 17 courses and we found that there were only 2 we weren't HUGE on. Majority of the bites were a 90% wow and there were I think 5 that were 100% popping eyes out of sockets WOWZA's. The fish are shipped in from parts of Japan, Indonesia and New Zealand to name a few. Everything was so fresh and vivid. I just find omakase to be an out of body experience. The different textures, flavours and the knowledge these chefs have to plate items together to perfect flavour combinations is mind blowing.I won't describe EVERY bite because this review is already quite lengthy - HOWEVER; I would love to write about the showstoppers. The Shima Aji (striped jack), the Chu toro (medium fatty tuna), the Japanese Mackerel, the OTORO (Fatty tuna), the A5 wagyu and the unagi which was the last bite with bone marrow and I am sorry - it was one of the best things I had ever tasted. Our chef said it is kind of a cheat code because it's fat on fat but oh my days was it ever HEAVEN ON EARTH. Not only were these bites OUT OF THIS WORLD but this wasn't the end - there was a green tea with ginger sauce and it was the best tea I had ever had. Even more promising was the fact my husband, who HATES tea (weirdo, I know) said the tea was outstanding. Please tell us how to make this tea or where to buy it! It is life changing! It was a great palate cleanser and great digestive aid after all of those bites. Lastly, we were surprised with a dessert. I have never gotten a dessert in my two other omakase experiences and it was honestly just unlike any dessert I had ever taken. This was a Michelin dessert through and through. It was a black sesame seed ice cream with meringue and a lemon curd and it had some seeds or something. I don't even know. I think I went deaf when they were explaining the items to me because I just was in my own Lala land of mouth pleasure!The only bites we didn't care for were the everything bagel bite - this felt too Americanized for us and totally overtook the fish flavour at the end. We also felt the sea bream was a bit bland. But 2 dishes out of 17 with a dessert and phenomenal tea are not going to stop us from coming back again! Please treat yourself. It is something every sushi fan MUST try.”

“The food was amazing, the steaks were cooked exactly as ordered. The au gratin potatoes were delicious. The service and attention to detail were truly 5 star. 100 times better than the other well known steak house we were at the night before.”

“We went to this restaurant as a recommendation. We are so happy we did! The food was Spectacular in the atmosphere divine! We ordered great drinks from the cocktail menu, and started with the pork belly hour devours with the violet mustard. They were phenomenal! My husbands entree, the Peking duck with a celery root puree was so rich and succulent, but my entree was MY favorite; the Halibut! It was seasoned to perfection and absolutely delicious! Jeffrey’s had exceptional staff and a really cool atmosphere. We cannot wait to go back for date night!”

“Garrison at the Fairmont Hotel exceeds expectations. The food delivers , the flavor profile of Texas BBQ delivered as a fine dining experience. The wood burning cooking really takes everything up a notch . The setting is hip & the service impeccable.?❤️”

“Phenomenal service! It was such an amazing experience. This is my favorite omakase by far. The sushi was crafted with such care and attention. The rice was so so good! The combination of techniques and flavors really made the whole service so special.This place should be on everyone’s shortlist for Austin!”

“First off, I want to say that Apt 115 is a super interesting concept, the staff is very friendly, and the service is top tier. Easily 10/10 service. It also wasn't incredibly expensive for fine dining ($90 after tax and tip). Apt 115 is hosted within a cozy, 1x1 apartment building, where the apartment kitchen is the kitchen they use. There's no backdoor kitchen or anything. There's one chef and he makes everything using everyday cooking appliances like hotplates and microwaves. The theme that day was grapefruit, and almost everything, including the bathroom soap (which smelled really really good) had a hint of grapefruit. We started off with oysters, which were super creamy and very smooth. No fishy flavor at all. Next, we had fatty yellowfin tuna covered in some homemade sauce that made it explode with flavor. There were some crunchy onion crisps on top that added to the texture. Probably one of the best dishes I've had, period. We then had shrimp and some cocktail sauce, which was okay but not anything crazy. Afterwards, we had a duck leg, which was flavorful but a bit tough--I wonder if it could've been steamed for longer. Once we had finished, our server brought out a basket full of bread and a cutting board with three different cheeses on top. Now, I'm not really a cheese person, but these cheeses were so good. The strawberry jam that came with it was practically heaven in a dish. I would've paid for just the jam. The last dish was a grapefruit brûlée. It had a crispy, thin layer of melted sugar coating the top. Underneath was the sweet and citrusy fruitiness of the grapefruit. Very well done. I should note the flowers and most of the decorations were edible and actually tasted pretty interesting. I wish the shrimp and the duck leg were a bit better, and that there were larger portions (I had to eat another meal afterwards to feel full), but overall I'm satisfied with what Apt 115 had to offer. I would definitely recommend this place to someone else, but would know that you probably won't be full after your meal. A very very high 4 stars from me.”

“Ordered the omakase. Decided last minute to add hot rock & edamame. I noted that I do not want it to interfere with the timing of the omakase, and please serve as ready. It was roughly a 45 minute delay after the hot rock waiting for our next dish. Total time spent - 3 hours.I'll come back and re-visit this review after my next visit and hopefully can update it to 5 stars. Thank you, UchiKo!”

“Just perfect! Our staff and food was amazing! I could not say one thing that needs approving! Top restaurant with friendly people who have a passion for what they do! It was an amazing experience! Well done!! - the chicken fried lobster was something special!”

“5 stars all around. Must try list for me: watermelon nigiri and the tuna with the whiskey glaze. Drinks were phenomenal, our waitress had incredible recommendations, and portions were perfect.”

“We ordered most of the menu, and it was all ranging from tasty to ridiculously tasty, especially the pappardelle, but that's not the important bit. Not even the cocktail program, which they execute perfectly. It's the desserts. Marrow Pastry, Buckwheat Mousse , and the Chocolate Chip. All savory sweet and so unexpected; I had to try all of them because they were just so interesting. Take the chance, you won't regret it.Honorable mention to the sourdough with butter flight. Team Roquefort for life.”

“So glad we found this place! We were next door getting our car washed and the owner of the car wash recommended we go across the street to get a drink while we waited. The vibe in this pace was so cool. A friend that was with us said that the place felt like something from a movie scene. The bartender was very nice. I had the frozen Irish coffee. It was SO good!! I love souvenirs and the was excited to keep my cup. We will definitely be stopping there next time we are in Austin!”

“Ended up in Austin for a night and looked for a local place to get some grub, and we found Crown & Anchor Pub. I can't even express how pleased I am with our experience, it was busy all night but never overcrowded, the staff was quick, on top of it, and the most friendly humans I've ran into in the service industry in years. The food came out fast and hot and delicious. Big John was very friendly and definitely made an impression on this group from Portland OR.Vegetarian options: They had veggie burger and veggie dog options, as well as grilled cheese, the ability to omit toppings on things like the nachos. I got a veggie burger, and it was really good!”

“Excellent craft cocktails! You know it's a serious bar when they have a shelf of fresh squeezed juices. An awesome mixologist (Patrick) behind the bar helps too!”

“Pretty good food. I enjoyed the chilaquiles, it's a lot of food but the flavors get lost a bit in bowl form. Next time I'll try the tacos.The Pink horchata is absolutely amazing.”

“Our neighbors in Oak Hill recommended this place to try, and I'm so glad we did! The nicest people serving the best ice cream (mine with espresso poured on top) and the most lovely setting, can't wait to go again!”

“Quality meat. Quality Service. Quality Sauce. Austin and Texas are no strangers to making some mean BBQ, and JNL is now one of my faves. My friends and I ordered the ribs (Al pastor style), brisket and turkey. Everything was smoked to perfection and the sauce helped the meal come all together. I wish I would've ordered more of the ribs because they were phenomenal! Don't skip on this item when you're here- the seasoning is delicious!”

“First time here while in Austin. I would like to rate the food as an A+. I don't really need to explain much but the Don Juan Taco is gigantic and delicious. I also tried an enchilada and taco and I was not disappointed. There really is isn't anything bad to say about this place. The food is amazing. The wait time was not too long either about 10 min. Great job Juan in a Million.”

“Excellent fish tacos. You have to wait a few minutes because everything is made fresh, worth the wait. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere and will be going back the next time I'm in Austin Texas.”

“Delicious food - loved the nopales and carnitas quesi taco. Cool employees, locally owned, what's not to love? Don't sleep on it!Vegetarian options: Cactus, mushroom, cheese”

“We ran over to Leroy and Lewis at 11am after Franklins sold out before even opening. The line was out the door, but just barely. Within 15 minutes, it was wrapping around the corner! Someone frequently came down the line with menus, water, and to take drink orders. By 12:30, we had our food and easily snatched a table outside.They only have brisket on Saturdays so we got the sliced beef (+ extra) and beef barbacoa (Sunday special) with the Kale Caesar Slaw and pork hash and rice. The pork was not what I was expecting and not my style, but my husband enjoyed it. The slaw was very good! We loved the sliced beef - it's one cut below brisket so it doesn't fall apart, but is still super tender. The barbacoa was good, but we wouldn't order it again.We also got the L&L burger and it was fabulous with an amazing pepper crust.Probably my favorite part about this place (aside from the wonderful service) is that they source their meats locally ❤️”

“Delicious tacos and the best salsa I have had in my life. Make sure to ask for the house made spicy salsa. We tried the bistec, carnitas, pastor, and chicharrones tacos. The fresh tortillas are to die for and the woman holding it all together is the sweetest. No frills, just damn good tacos.”

“THE BEST ?+ incredible owner and a stellar team, every visit promises an unforgettable experience. Mouthwatering pizzas crafted to perfection. Don't forget to pair your slice with a glass from Flo’s wine bar. It's the ultimate combo for a delicious night out!”

“I try something new every time and am never disappointed. Cozy, friendly, delicious, great drinks, and overall a very fun atmosphere. Service is welcoming and on point. Love this place for weekday lunch/brunch outings with 1-3 people.Parking: Nearby Parking available during non-peak hours, but you may have to round the next street to street park for free/paid. A norm for Austin.”

“Amazing authentic Mexican food. Great place for breakfast as well. We came here on a whim after bailing on an original plan to have breakfast somewhere else nearby. This place was MUCH better and we really enjoyed our breakfast.”

“First time visiting this bar the atmosphere is very nice, the seating is very unique and cool they have food truck that sells different than that Ike menus says I ordered chicken nugget with fries and it came without fries beer was good. I would definitely go back again but not going to eat there. I highly recommend going there it’s very Austin vibe !”

“Drive thru line was so long 2 lanes deep but went surprisingly fast and food was perfect. Something about this location is that they have the best coke in south Austin.”

“Nice and crispy chicken and those signature honey biscuits. Solid service and decent prices. Dinner for 2 was only $17.50. Be sure to check for online coupons. See you next time Churcheeeees. Orale!”

“Honestly my favorite food truck in the 6th street area. I was one of the first customers since opening and since then the food and service has been phenomenal! My favorite on the menu is the 6 piece wings with hot and barbecue sauce!”

“Family own type of restaurant, decent size of restaurant. Traditional foods so delicious, melt in your mouth and make you think of your home town foods. 20 items on the menu for Traditional foods and have typical American Chinese foods as well but didn't have a chance to look at. They sell goodies as well. They have special bogo or discount any certain days. Should give a try and will be coming back”

“Fun atmosphere. Sexy girls. Waitress Autumn always goes out of her way to make me feel welcomed and special. When I had an issue at the club management handled it efficiently and discreetly. Definitely one of my favorite places to spend my money at!!”

“Wonderful service. The limoncello spritz was refreshing and the wines are devine. Enjoyed the special of the day “ravioli porcini” which featured a rich cream sauce and delicious mushrooms with ricotta stuffed ravioli - cooked perfectly al dente. Espresso martinis to end cap our meal. Will definitely be back again.”

“OMG I am a restaurant Connosseur by hobby and this food is sooo good. The breakfast tacos are fresh made and it doesn't matter which one they are always delicious. I was sick this weekend and I went to try their menudo and it was some of the best I have ever had. It could have used a bit more hominy for my personal taste, but the meat was tender, soup just the right amount of oregano and they put pig feet which is another delight. It will cure a hangover and it's working pretty well for my allergies and cold. I gave the atmosphere a three just because its Rundberg (but don't leave I live in the HOOD, so I am used to the interesting atmosphere, and I appreciate the good food) lol but the little outside seating is quaint during spring or late night. Oh, did I mention the coffee is great I order a bit of cream and sugar and they get it perfect every time., its slightly flavored with cinnamon and piping hot. I love it.”

“Very unique where you serve yourself from the tap wall (both beer & cocktails). I was able to sample several with the different size glasses availableKid-friendliness: They have an entire play area for little kids while the adults can sit, watch them, get together with new parents & have a beer without having to hire a babysitter.Wheelchair accessibility: All on 1 floor, chairs are movable.”

“Sunday morning breakfast tacos at a new place for me in Austin, Texas. I did the standard first order of chorizo and egg and also bacon and egg on flour. Each were $3. CASH ONLY.Tortillas were good, now awesome, but good. Good sized amount of filling. Two was a nice breakfast, so pretty cheap stop.I usually like the chorizo more than the bacon, but one of the better bacon fillings I've had. Not just one lonely strip of bacon, not crumbled up on the eggs.The red salsa is hot. Like really hot. Good, but beware.Definitely a winner.”

“Authentic Korean food. The food is delicious. Staff is friendly. What’s better is that it’s our late night spot. They close at 2am!!! The pork soup and kalbi are my constant gotos. Other dishes are good as well. We go here at least once every 2 e weeks.”

“OMG, we nearly cried while eating bc the food was so good here. The barbacoa tacos were so good, we had to get some to go. Chicken quesadilla too. Very sweet and attentive staff. I guess this place is in a "seedy" area... but we are from Baltimore so felt like home. This is the place to go for amazing food. Get it to go if youre nervous I guess.”

“This place used to be called dozen Street. On 12th Street. Cute. Outer heaven has become a cool dance night for the University crowd especially, but a fun place to hang. Have a drink, perhaps some karaoke. A good spot if you don't want to get into the dirty of downtown.”

“5 stars is not enough. Before anything, noticed the super nice employees and a clean space- then I got home with the food I ordered and my girlfriend and I both were impressed with the both portion size and flavors of the chicken and gyro wraps.”

“I'm not one to post a review or give a rating on an experience but there's a first time for everything. I've ordered food a few times now from Freshii and every time has been a great experience. The Teriyaki Twiist with chicken is my personal favorite. I also like to get their Freshii Green smoothie along with the Energii Bites, which I usually save for a snack later. The wait time has definitely improved since my first visit there and the staff are always friendly. I highly recommend to everyone to go down to Freshii and try it out.”

“Very pleasant service by a very beautiful young lady. She was very helpful and courteous. The food was outstanding with lots of flavor!!! I will definitely go back!!”

“My husband and I have been here 4 times now!! This time was still good! I finally learned our favorite waiters name: Phil or "the old guy" lol!! The BBQ bacon wrapped shrimp!! Sooo yummy!!! Banana foster !! Chefs kiss!! So many things left to try still!! We shall be back!!”

“A restaurant that has good quality, a girl, Mikaela, served us, very well attended. We couldn't finish all of what we ordered, they were from Shop, very good meat, and we had to order the desserts to take away. Very good experience.”

“Great food. We tried Chettinad country chicken, Chettinad goat curry, chicken 65, chilli fish, mango lassi. Every item was excellent. Peter and Manoj, both were very helpful. Please was clean and well maintained. Loved everything about this place. I will definitely go there again to try out other dishes we couldn’t try today. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Indian taste.”

“My daughter brought me for my birthday and the service from Nayeli & Oscar made it exceptionally great! The food was great, the market bar was amazing! And the house beef was my absolute favorite! I will definitely be coming back again!”

“I want to start this by saying the FOOD! Is sooo amazing! Best meal I’ve had b such a loooong time! 10000/10.Service:For the amount of money I am spending on a meal I would hope to have superb service and that unfortunately was not the case at all.I want to start by saying I am not one to nit pick but I just was not happy with the service I received. I asked a few things from the server and was just forgotten about. I asked the server to box up the rest of my appetizer so we could make room for our entrees. The appetizer sat on the table till the end of our meal. Not a big deal just something to point out. I asked the server twice for extra bread she forgot and then at 9:45ish we asked again maybe 9:50 and she said they couldn’t provide the bread, there was no more. I would understand that had I not asked prior. So that was frustrating. Also if I’m spending hundreds of dollars on a meal you should have these things available until the end of your meal no matter what. That’s my opinion though. I wasn’t offered a dessert I wanted to get a dessert but was not offered one and not brought a dessert menu and honestly at that point I was frustrated.Lastly the thing that really frustrated me was that we gave the card to our server she disappeared for about 20 minutes give or take and when we saw her again she was running food checking on her tables and refilling drinks meanwhile it was getting really cold on the patio I was standing up ready to go at this point hoping she would get the hint , but unfortunately that did not happen. I had to walk up to her and ask her if I needed to get the card from her and then the light bulb went off that she needed to swipe our card. It was not busy by the way it was past 10pm at this point.I’m writing this in hopes to improve because the food is sooo good just need to work on the service aspect.”

“The food is pretty good but not great, especially for the price. The service is good, fast and friendly. My biggest problem is that the water tastes a little funny.”

“Huge steaks and salads, awesome brussel sprouts and the macaroni and cheese is as good as moms! We got a great dessert that included three different options. The banana pie in a tiny mason jar was amazing but so is this more and the lemon bar. I'm so glad I didn't have to choose! The serving team was very well trained and very friendly. Great place for an anniversary dinner or a meet up with friends for happy hour in the giant bar area.”

“Great atmosphere and amazing service. Walking into the restaurant felt like I was walking into a local village in Greece. Had brunch on Sunday with a friend at the bar and the food was outstanding. There were so many fantastic options on the menu that it was hard to choose what to eat! I love how the menu is a modern and fresh twist on traditional Greek dishes. Will be back again to try the rest of the menu!”

“Incredible food with beautiful views of downtown Austin. Our waitress Valeria was fun, knowledgeable, and made our experience amazing! Would absolutely recommend”

“Stopped in for lunch based on the reviews and were not disappointed. My partner and I both had salads and they were excellent. I had Mai Mai and it was perfectly grilled. Thor, the bartender took care of us and he is an exceptional server - knows the menu and over the top attentive and super friendly. I had the house Paloma cocktail and it was also excellent. Great way to start our adventure in Austin.”

“A great place to treat yourself. The steak was incredible. Mashed potatoes were decadent. Drinks were wonderful. Hope to go here every time I visit Austin.”

“Bri was awesome! She was not supposed to be our server but noticed that the other server had not arrived. She took great care of us Food was great and fresh. Have to order the biscuits and warm honey butter.”

“Ordered the omakase. Decided last minute to add hot rock & edamame. I noted that I do not want it to interfere with the timing of the omakase, and please serve as ready. It was roughly a 45 minute delay after the hot rock waiting for our next dish. Total time spent - 3 hours.I'll come back and re-visit this review after my next visit and hopefully can update it to 5 stars. Thank you, UchiKo!”

“The steak frites was fine once the meat was replaced with a rarer cut - it came out medium at first. The bone marrow was excellent and my friend enjoyed his roasted chicken. The service was very good and I was comped for a glass of wine as it was my birthday.”

“This place was warm and welcoming, very cute and dim for a relaxing atmosphere. The service was excellent. Our table was birthday decorated and they offered a birthday desert. Our server, Matt, was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. The food, I have mixed feelings about. The fish was very fresh and well cooked. We got the Chilean sea bass and almond crusted trout. The crab cake was absolutely delicious. So they have the fresh seafood bit down. Everything else was underwhelming. The mushroom risotto was kind of just salty mush, the mashed potatoes were stiff and the fried rice was good. It wasn’t terribly expensive for what it was, so I was not disappointed at all. Overall it was a good experience.”

“As much as I would love to keep this hidden taqueria a secret, it's been posted by way too many "influencers" to do so! What truly captivates me about Taqueria 10 de 10 is its unapologetic authenticity. Most of the staff's native tongue is Spanish, but that bona fides the experience. Trust the expertise of the staff, hand over your ticket, and revel in the culinary masterpieces they deliver. Following our meal, my friends and I had the pleasure of meeting Raul, the dreamy owner of Taqueria 10 de 10. We learned about his vision of bringing a piece of his Mexican homeland to Austin, a vision unfulfilled by other establishments in the area. That's where Taqueria 10 comes in. Not only does Raul offer delectable tacos around the clock, but also boasts a bar and a club, making it a true destination for those seeking an authentic taste of Mexico and a vibrant nightlife experience.”

“Loud bustling atmosphere that you would expect from a popular restaurant on a Sat night. The staff is super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes. Flaky scallion swirls were amazing with the the truffle butter and sweet bean sauce to lather on top. Very flavorful, flaky and super buttery and soft. We also had the Liang Ban BBQ Pig Ear which was spicy and really nice flavor and it numbs your mouth. I could only have a little as I'm not a huge fan of the Mala peppercorns but my husband enjoyed it. Same with the DanDan noodles - strong Mala pepper flavor. The husband said the DanDan Noodles were the best he's ever had so far. For dessert, we had the black sesame soft serve which was delicious. TIP: scoop from the bottom when eating the soft serve or you'll end up with a bunch of tapioca with your last few bites. My favorite was the flaky scallion swirl.”

“Lapachi's is a great spot to pick up a quick meal. Chef Lapachi was kind and attentive when I visited, even though he was also quite busy, and able to recommend a dish that met my eating preferences. I had the fries and a vegetable panini. The fries were crisp on the outside with a soft interior. They were seasoned well, complementing the essence of the potato without overpowering it. Although the fries are a side that pair nicely with a sandwich, I did not need to eat them with any sauce. They could easily be a stand alone snack!As for the vegetable panini, I appreciated that it was cut into two manageable halves. The bread came out crunchy but not hard and I could taste notes of feta and perhaps other cheeses under the flavor of the olives and warm tomatoes.All in all, I had a pleasant experience at this new downtown bistro. Chef Lapachi is one of the best chefs around, and I look forward to exploring the menu more in the future!”

“Great brunch menu! My husband and I have been looking for more brunch places that will allow our puppy to join us and stumbled upon this gem. The service (and other guests) were so nice to and patient with our dog! The food was amazing (we got a Pulled Pork Benny, a Nitro Horchata, and a Chorizo Hash), appropriately priced, and was served very quickly. There were so many interesting choices on the menu that we are planning to go back asap to try other dishes We didn't get to see the inside of the diner due to our dog, but the covered patio had multiple tables for about four to five people each which were very comfortable.”

“Delicious food at a reasonable price! So glad to have this nearby and can’t wait to go back. We had the chicken tikka masala and the saag paneer tacos. Soooo yummy!”

“A new 70s themed diner on S Congress! I like how it's not in the heart of SoCo which makes parking so much easier. The space is small but I think they make great use of it, especially with the outdoor seating. We came on a Saturday around noon and got seated right away. I just love the aesthetic of the restaurant, it's very in theme, down to the sever uniforms. They had a special that day where we could get a free pancake and I thought that was a fun surprise. There's something for everyone on the menu and my friend and I shared the French toast and the fried chicken sandwich. Both were incredible! I did not expect to like the sandwich as much as I did and the French toast was huge and definitely enough for 2 people. I also thought the price point was reasonable and this is a good casual spot to grab brunch! I will be back for sure.”

“Pretty good curry! And the spice levels run higher than the typical Americanized places so beware! Portions were a good size, especially the tacos! Those were huge and even more spicy! They were able to accommodate our group of around 10 pretty immediately on a Sunday afternoon which was nice. The servers were also super friendly which was a bonus.”

“I and my wife have had 2 meals at this restaurant. Not only was service good and quick the food was delicious. I do not usually think Austin food is worth remembering, but I hope this small restaurant gets the support it deserves. Breakfast is my favorite meal and burgers are the tip of the iceberg. Our sides were unique and on point. We definitely will return.”

“Guys, this place delicious for coffee! The tacos are better than most, but the green sauce was super good! Not too spicy and full of flavor! It was a really good atmosphere. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the view.”

“We picked up iftar dinner today and the owner was so very nice kind to offer us dates as a slight delay caused us to break fast in the car. The food overall was amazing. We ordered chicken tikka, beef bihari, chicken bihari, seekh kabab, bun kabab, halwa puri combo, and laccha parathas. The beef bihari, seekh kebab and bun kababs were my favorite. Great flavor, melt in your mouth texture with balanced spices. In Shaa Allah hope to visit again post Ramadan to eat on premise and enjoy the bustling vibe. Truly happy to find this hidden gem in Austin that takes me back to the flavors of Karachi. Wishing the karachigrillatx.com team all the very best and continued success.”

“From the generous plump juicy chicken to southern sides, Hattie B's does not disappoint! Among the best ever if not "the" best tenders you can custom order to heat as well as half bird & wings. Very friendly fun staff - from ordering to food arrival. Bright open airy space. Always a positive atmosphere. My new favorite place for hot chicken”

“Checked out this spot near my hotel when I was out visiting in Austin. Great vibes in there, huge menu selection to choose from. Wait time was not long, definitely a spot to work or just hang out. I order the "Goldie Mango" mango base with granola, banana, strawberries, and a drizzle of Nutella. I probably would ask for a tad bit more of Nutella because I love chocolate but it's my personal preference. Overall, the quantity of the bowl was worth for what you paid for. I will return back when in Austin again!”

“Yes El Amla's downtown location has a certain charm about it with a roof top eating area and unique indoor vibe but honey parking is a beast and that's why El Alma is the best. I can go here all the time. There's plenty of room to sit, it accommodates even more folks at this location and parking galore. Plus if you wanted to stroll the plaza after dinner there's plenty of shopping. The service was top notch as you'd expect and the food was just as quick and delicious. This is my favorite location because of its accessibility and the food and service is just as great as the original!”

“I had the Buffet in Feb 2024. The food taste was excellent, not too spicy but still flavorful. The service was good with the buffet refreshed with more food after we came in. There was plenty of seating area.”

“By happenstance my fiancé and I tried Special Noodle. On first glance, the restaurant was very clean and modern. Ordering was easy and it helped to have photos included in their app. The food and service were top notch. Everything arrived hot and I appreciated the availability of condiments at the table. The only criticism we had was that the honey walnut shrimp didn't look like the picture that was advertised and it was over battered/way too sweet. Everything else that we ordered was delicious. We will definitely be visiting Special Noodle again!”
