Restaurants in Austin

“Everything was good, but best brisket ever…”

“I would like to respectfully start with; I’ve been to Uchi multiple times over the years and will never forget my first experience (which will always be the best in my mind.) That being said — tonight might have been the closest to first I’ve ever had. Chance, our server was attentive, knowledgeable, easy going, brought some of the best plates when we asked “bring us what you like/anything you think we missed” literally 12/10 would recommend. Ask for Chance, he knows his shiiiiiiii* and made our night absolutely amazing and something we will never forget!”

“It's our favorite restaurant for special occasions. We love sitting in the bar area because they have live music. It's truly one of the best restaurants in Austin.”

“We chose Ling Kitchen to celebrate a birthday. It was a dining experience that we will not forget. The staff were easy to communicate with and facilitate a food allergy, prior to arrival. Once you arrive, they will let you into a gated parking lot in the back. You will be greeted by the staff and shown to the front of the building where you will be received with champagne and tea. The dining room is one large family table directly in the kitchen.

The hosts will guide you through an exquisite 9 course tasting menu. The first 5 courses had a heavy seafood focus. Of these courses, the highlights were the seafood spread on top of a fried taro and the dumplings which had a delicious chicken filing accompanied by seafood. Moving on to the meat courses. The got better and better. The Peking Duck 2 ways that you turned into a bao slider was very good. The beef was cooked to perfection. It had a slightly sweet sauce, with a Thai basil pesto, and jellied fish and fried potato for texture. The main dishes concluded with our favorite of the night. It was a pork belly recipe that had been passed down through the family. The sauce was savory, salty, and sweet. The dish was accompanied by fried garlic and onions and a delicious black garlic leaf. The gold sheet on top was an added touch of elegance. The 5 small desserts that finished the meal were good, but nothing we would seek out again. This truly is one of the best dining experiences in Austin.”

“My wife and I had the best experience here for my birthday lunch, I'm so glad we chose this restaurant to eat at while in town for the Austin FC match! I can't say enough about the staff and the owner Joel who went out of his way to be extremely kind to us. Not to mention the food and drinks were so good. We'll definitely be back!”

“Incredible. The drinks and food were insane. The broccoli dish we had was the best thing I've had in a long time. The service was also outstanding. Super pleased with our experience!”

“Just completed a tour of the Central Texas Barbecue Scene. Visited Snow's BBQ-Lexington, Louie Mueller-Taylor, Kreus Market, Smitty's and Black's-Lockhart, The Salt Lick- Driftwood and Franklin's in Austin. It was great seeing the venues and the family history at these historic sites. I visited Franklin's in the past and felt it was the best brisket I had ever eaten in my life. I am a skeptic when it comes to famous barbecue joints. I must say that Franklin's BBQ was far superior to all of the restaurants I visited with no one even a close second. Aaron's attention to detail from the service, choice of briskets, the cook, the wrap, the holding and even the slicing of the final product is evident in every aspect of his trade. I was lucky enough to run into him at the restaurant and he happily talked BBQ with me. Franklin's may not have the long history of muti-generational BBQ in Central Texas, but he has figured it all out at a level that I have yet to see equaled by the best venues in the country. This is a bucket list restaurant for those who really enjoy BBQ. It is well worth the wait in line”

“This is a small, cosy restaurant with a fusion of Mediterranean and Indian flavours using local, seasonal ingredients from Texas. The restaurant offers a four-course prix fixe menu with sophisticated and creative food (Time Out Worldwide) (The Texas Tasty).”

“My wife and I couldn’t be happier with our meal and the service at Dai Due. Everything we had was beyond delicious and we had a kind and attentive server who was able to answer our questions and her recommendations were on point. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!”

“way too expensive. Atmosphere is Nice. ribs are soft and pull off bone with perfect bark, however too sweet for my personal taste. I like savory spicy. brisket was good but should have gotten marble like last time. last time flavor was better and meat was hot and fresher. sausage was a no for me personally it tasted grainy and was barely warm. Mac and cheese is good and husband said potato salad was a 3 or 4. best barbecue is Southside Market-Flavor, Henry's in Austin by the airport.”

“I reserved online for my daughter’s birthday and got into town an hour earlier and they still were able to accommodate us. At the table with the menus was a birthday card with a really nice and meaningful note on the inside. Staff, drinks, and food were amazing! Definitely recommend checking this place out.”

“This restaurant is highly recommended. The food is delicious”

“It was absolutely delicious”

“I don't live in Austin I live in Midland but whenever I am there this is where I would like to go I have had the brisket it's the best ever”

“Some of the best food I’ve tasted. Those oysters are mind blowing! Great staff.”

“Lutie's Thanksgiving feast was a great experience. They had a fixed menu with all of the favorites, plus a deliciously indulgent appetizer crab dip with grilled bread. The starter spinach salad with the glazed, roasted pecans was sublime. The turkey was brined perfectly, with a light honey glaze, with delicious dressing and green beans and fresh rolls. Dessert was pumpkin pie that we all loved. They also had several creative and fun cocktails we enjoyed. The vibe was festive, and the service was warm and friendly, but not overbearing. A great place to have drinks, dinner or, even a Thanksgiving dinner.”

“Love it here! Fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere.”

“Thanks!! We’ll miss your delicious food and presence in the neighborhood”

“Last night, my wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Estancia Brazilian Steakhouse, and from start to finish, it was an outstanding experience. While the food certainly lived up to expectations, it was the exceptional service—especially from Jerfer and David—that truly made our evening memorable.

From the moment we arrived, both Jerfer and David made us feel welcomed and taken care of. They were attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about ensuring we had a great time. Their timing was impeccable, and they were always nearby when we needed anything, yet never overbearing.

The classic Brazilian steakhouse experience—endless cuts of perfectly grilled meat, brought straight to the table—was delicious, but it's that high level of hospitality that elevated the night. It's not often you encounter staff who go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect, and both Jerfer and David did just that.

My wife and I left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. If you're looking for not only great food but also top-tier service, Estancia is the place—and if you're lucky enough to have Jerfer and David as your servers, you're in for a fantastic night”

“K.R. took such good care of us, really refreshing to have such a nice server/good service these days. Went above and beyond, definitely created a couple new regulars. Atmosphere and food was so nice, we were walking by and had no idea the restaurant was tucked back in there!”

“From the moment I spotted the aquarium I knew we were in for an exquisite expedition⛵️🛥️🚢🛳️⛴️⚓️ 🥂”

“Great staff, beautiful lounge and very clean. Great date spot”

“excellent dining in a great atmosphere an awesome service sampled a bunch of tasting plates from the fish tacos to the bone marrow and the oysters even had a wonderful dessert with their homemade ice cream and bananas did I say that the service was awesome top notch five stars all day definitely a place to visit in Austin”

“Great experience! The chef definitely has years of experience in his craft. The food preparations are a work of art. The flavor combinations are impeccable. The chef explains each dish with great detail, including the process of aging certain fish. The flavor can't be explained. Try it for yourself. We'll deserved Michelin star. Will return.”

“Totally new world of tacos! Amazing flavors, unusual combinations, super fresh ingredients and perfectly prepare. Well deserved James Beard award!”

“There are a LOT of gluten free options, and the sushi is incredible!”

“We had such a great experience tonight! Kawthar was an amazing server. She was attentive, patient with all of our questions, and made sure everything came out just the way we wanted. She went above and beyond to make our birthday girl feel celebrated, and it truly made the night special. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests she’s serving. Thank you, Kawthar, for making our evening so memorable — we’ll definitely be back!”

“A great spot and fun atmosphere.”

“Chef’s tasting Menu … Chef Charles is a genius.”

“Fun place to have a drink and start the night for some east austin fun!!”

“I've been here a few times and I always have a great experience. Review by Gabriel Culiat”

“This was such a fun experience today! They serve fabulous food and a delicious tea selection in a fun space! Each of us received our own tea pots and chose two separate teas. Each pot had about 4 cups of tea in there, so we were able to share and try the different teas we each ordered. My favorite tea was the Coconut Oolong; it tasted like toasted coconut. The sandwhiches were delicious and the scone was delightful and the macaron melted in my mouth. My favorite was the Banoffee Pie: toffee, banana custard and a biscuit layered. It was so filling! Best of all, the owner is personable, talked to us, greeted us, waited on us and just radiates with energy! Every detail is just perfect. Everything was served in/on the cutest English china tableware. It really added to the experience. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Visited a friend in Austin and he introduced me to the Buzz Mill.”

“Great service and delicious food!”

“Eberley made the absolute best Iced Bennu with pecan flavor. I asked her what the most popular iced coffee is and voila. WOW. I am making this my new meeting spot with friends - your 2001 East MLK location. Stay great and see you all soon! PS: I am a coffee snob and when I tell you this iced coffee was amazing, well, it was (smile). Great way to kickstart the day.”

“Our server was Alice both times we ate there and she is so nice and cheerful while professional and quick to take care of customers. She started our day off with a smile. Thanks Alice!!”

“Can’t wait to book again !”

“Best burger and fries in the entire great state of Texas. Come to DFW P. Terry’s! We need your greatness!”

“Good food . Ghetto atmosphere but I fw that tho cuz it doesn’t feel uptight like ihop”

“I have worked with Pretty Cute Coffee many times as they have catered various events for us at the University of Texas and am always pleased with their services. I appreciate their candor and attention to detail the most. Looking forward to having them cater many events in the future!”

“Great food. Best chicken.”

“great food and atmosphere”

“These are the best cookies! Not only do they look amazing, they taste great too. I highly recommend Christine for any event. She totally rocked our Safety Day cookies taking a few photos as ideas and amazed us with how well she executed exactly what we were looking for!! Can’t wait for another event to order more cookies :)”

“Great food! Just sad to hear y’all don’t order salsa no more. Only thing missing for my food”

“mellow music, welcoming environment and great coffee and exceptional customer service.”

“The beef cheek was 🔥 So much flavor in every bite! The tacos have the perfect amount of moisture. You never know if a place will be as good as the ratings say, but this place is definitely a 5.0”

“Stop in for a Pastrami breakfast sandwich, it’s 🔥 amazing!”

“Great place! If you don’t order the cannoli, you are missing out!”

“Amazing!!! Great atmosphere, amazing food, and down to earth owner!!!”

“Great Food and awesome ambiance.”

“Truly worth the hype! This place is incredible. Lovely staff and high-quality espresso. Consistency is unmatched as well! The line can be a wait but the wait time for the coffee once you’ve ordered is quick.”

“The best BBQ I’ve ever had! 5 stars!”

“For our 101st 'cue stop in Texas, we stopped by this food truck on a Saturday morning. It was not at all busy, in sharp contrast to several of the other outlets in the court. We laid out $43.40 to purchase 2 biscuits with brisket and smoked strawberry jam. We added hash browns to each order ( 2 wedges per order). Although the biscuit was quite dry, the brisket was well prepared, and the smoked strawberry jam a real treat. But no plastic utensils were supplied, so we ended up scooping the jam up with our fingers. Bring your own utensils with you if you choose to visit! We're glad we came, but the price point struck us as very, very high for what we received-- too high for our wallets to absorb a second time.”

“My favorite Italian sub in Town. Took it to go today, so I coyest it during the Texas Kansas game.”

“We liked this place so much, we ate here twice during a long weekend in Austin. Everything we tried was excellent, from the baked goods to the salsa. Some of the best vegetarian fare I’ve ever had, and I’ve been veggie for nearly 25 years. Gracious, friendly service. Can’t recommend enough!!”

“Lovely spot. I liked the water carafe per table, and the flame was real. Laid back atmosphere-some larger tables, some smaller ones, and was lively but not too loud (I was able to read). The focaccia was fluffy and lightly flavored, Brussel sprouts flavorful, crunchy, and had a touch of salt. Tiramisu was unconventional, but I liked it. Rachel was lovely server-very nice, knowledgeable of the menu, and had great timing. They had a small bar, high top I believe, and a mix of tables and booths. Outdoor seating as well on the patio.”

“Always delicious, service is friendly and helpful. The wings and fries are always perfect.”

“Came here for the first time and didn't know what to expect. There's a friendly staff here. I only came for Dubai chocolate, but I received a pleasant tasting pastry sample that led me to buy some other items as well.

I made sure to get my Dubai chocolate though, and wow - ITS DELICIOUS 😋.”

“good food and affordable prices. will get full str8 up And most definitely a mean cheese steak. Tha badest in tha City.”

“Delicious gelato for a great price. Plus the owner is incredibly kind.”

“Good people and good food!”

“Great mix of cocktails. I tried a variety of their cocktails and each was perfectly balanced.”

“Nice chill spot to kick it”

“The food and the service was great.”

“Excellent bbq! Would eat there again”

“Food was excellent & the atmosphere was very warm & cozy.”

“This food is amazing, and I'm not even vegan! Michael was super nice and gave me a free cookie. The BBQ plate looked, smelled, and tasted soooooo good. Vibes are great, and there's outdoor seating too for when it's not 105°F outside. Highly recommend for vegan and non-vegans alike!”

“SO excited I finally got to try La Santa Barbacha!!! Obsessed with the food and drinks, I definitely recommend trying this spot 🔥”

“Delicious BBQ! Great ambiance and service!”

“Especially the crispy steak burrito and the best guacamole 🥑 ever!!”

“Definitivamente el mejor lugar de mariscos, muy recomendado!! 10/10👌🏽🤤 Delicious”

“We stopped by late this morning to treat my 3 year old to a cupcake. We got the strawberry cupcake and vanilla cupcake. They were both delicious! The shop itself is cute and the staff are very friendly. Next time I will have to try the blue velvet.”

“Just had one of the best culinary experiences ever at Ember! The food, service and atmosphere was unbelievable! Highly recommended if you’re visit downtown Austin!”

“Awesome food and staff! Don’t miss!!”

“Great spot, friendly people. Get some of everything. Nothing disappoints.”

“Highly recommend as this is truly the ultimate culinary experience! Not only that but Chef Saine is adds a personable touch to the service and is also super entertaining. TJ does phenomenal recommending drinks with the dishes. Truly a unique experience.”

“As always, for many years we’ve dined at Jeffrey’s and we are very pleased with the service and of course our food. Can’t say enough!”

“I've done a few omakase experiences and this one was definitely one to remember and affordable! Chef Endo did a great job and performance at the end. Definitely recommend :)”

“Amazing dinner with amazing chefs.”

“The food and service were impeccable. We had a a terrible expense at a competitors and left without ordering, we came to Dean’s and they seated us in the bar right away and proceeded to make our experience 10/10.”

“An experience…..a must go to in Austin.”

“The food is very well executed and presented, the staff are very attentive.”

“Great food. Nice service 👏”

“Tonight, my husband and I tried Uchiko for the first time. We had the Okamase. Everything was absolutely delicious. They put so much creativity and detail in every dish. We had a wonderful waitress. I would definitely recommend it.”

“Great food again. They overbooked the reservations so we didn't get seated until 30 minutes after our reservation time. Bar was so busy we couldn't get a drink after waiting 15 minutes. The manager got a round for our group after I expressed my frustration about these service lapses which was a nice gesture.”

“Definitely worth a visit at least once! Soulful meal and service experience.”

“Went for wife's birthday. The wine list was four pages compared to the food menu lol! Nice outing, food was great. Little pricey but then again it is Eddie Vs.”

“Tomato grilled peach with shishioto chevre and candied pecans. shitake dumpling with soft scrambled eggs. There wasn't a single bad bite and the wine pairings were spot on. Huge thanks to Barkley Swine for an unforgettable evening.”

“It is a privilege to be sitting across from Chef Mike, who has absolutely destroyed my sushi-eating experience for other restaurants. I'm ruined for life! I've been to Craft, Toshokan, Sushi Bar, Otoko, Endo, and most other not omakase-specific restaurants (like Uchi, Tomo...), but nobody makes sushi the way Chef Mike does because his rice is special and served warm. The two super-nice people you see make up 100% of the staff. They don't even have a dishwasher. And did you know you're not even allowed to tip on the alcohol because they just want their customers to be happy? As a result, the best omakase in Austin, #18 most exclusive restaurant in the world, is also one of the cheapest! That's seriously insane.”

“The miso glazed sea bass with crab fried rice was outstanding. The ambiance was great, and no one rushed us. I can't wait to go again. Service was excellent!!”

“Came here with my boyfriend for the first time to give it a try. We're both from the northeast. This was a true NY experience. Everything was delicious, the portions are large, and the people are super friendly. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back!”

“grubb best hot sauce around”

“Had fun catching up with friends here! 🤸🤸🤸”

“The turkey f***ing slaps!”

“We both loved our food. The person at the counter was very helpful in selecting the right dish and the food came quickly. It's authentic Mumbai food. So of you like that, you'll love the food here. We also ordered rasmalai, and you'll probably not find better rasmalai in this area. Oh and dis I mention how affordable everything is!”

“Best korean wings in the area. Great food, great service and great staff.”

“Good food and friendly service. My friends and I came here while visiting Austin. We chose patio seating because it was really nice outside during the morning. We got the French toast, avocado toast, BLT, a pumpkin pancake on special, and a side of hash browns. Everything was good and our server was great! It was busy for a reason. I recommend!”

“came here on a bachelor party trip. best food. sober, hungover, didn't matter. kerlaches by 15.”

“Great ice cream and great service”

“I was in Austin to see some family and we decided to go out to eat. Since they know Austin, they selected Pint House Pizza.

We arrived and it was very busy. It was easy to find parking because the parking lot's can spill over and to another area where the restaurant is located.

It was also easy to get to the front and put in a food order. Finding a place to sit, however, could be problematic, if it's busy.

There are 2 areas, 1 inside 1 outside and the seating is in long pinici tables style. So, if you don't mind sharing a table with someone you just met, you'll do just fine. If you do, then you may have to wait a little bit to get your own table. We asked, and shared a table.

Note, outside is pet friendly.

Our food arrived shortly after we found a place to sit. The pizza, we ordered a large Cannonball, was great tasting, presentation and went down really well.

I've added some pictures and videos and hope that if you are looking for a place to eat, you decide and choose this spot as I don't believe you will be disappointed.”

“A super chill place with bold flavours and a huge variety of tacos. The “Trailer Park” taco is a favourite — crunchy, messy and extremely tasty. Service is quick and friendly, making it a great stop during a day out in SoCo.”

“In the vegan food truck park on Cesar Chavez which is a favorite spot. Possum specifically does “trash” pizza: thin crust with inspired, creative signature pies like the bac-n Mac and the Philly cheese steak which are two of my favorites. Check their instagram to see if they are going to be open. Text to order ahead”

“My husbands favorite spot.”

“I know everyone is putting how amazing the burgers were but even for an old-fashioned hamburger, and I've rated many, these were quite dry and flavorless. I had the bacon cheeseburger with everything on it. Kids did love the fries. Just being honest, because what else is a review for, right?. However, the service was very quick, especially given how busy it seemed to constantly be. They had great sweet tea and the butterscotch shake hit the spot on a hot day. As for the atmosphere? I like how it hasn't changed much in 80 years so nostalgia is always a win for me and the prices weren't bad if compared to Whataburger up the way.”

“Delicious! First time. The turkey and provolone was so good! 🥪”

“Muy buena pizza con calidad. Se ve el esfuerzo de los trabajadores para preparar la mejor pizza y que el cliente quede satisfecho. Buen trabajo en equipo. Felicitaciones...”

“Our favortie restuarant in Austin, we love ordering a bunch of appetizers and do that often. WE both eat gluten free so this place rocks.”

“We stumbled across the cedar Door on a recent visit. The staff are super friendly. We love the Mexican martini and the brisket tacos.”

“Just completed a tour of the Central Texas Barbecue Scene. Visited Snow's BBQ-Lexington, Louie Mueller-Taylor, Kreus Market, Smitty's and Black's-Lockhart, The Salt Lick- Driftwood and Franklin's in Austin. It was great seeing the venues and the family history at these historic sites. I visited Franklin's in the past and felt it was the best brisket I had ever eaten in my life.

Franklin's may not have the long history of muti-generational BBQ in Central Texas, but he has figured it all out at a level that I have yet to see equaled by the best venues in the country. This is a bucket list restaurant for those who really enjoy BBQ. It is well worth the wait in line”

“Ramos is a great place to dine. I come here very often, sometimes 3 times a day. I've had most everything on the menu and have never had a bad meal. From breakfast to lunch to the special dinner meals, they all have that wonderful regional TexMex flavor you would expect from an establishment of this quality. I challenge you to give it a try. They won't disappoint.”

“No one does beef ribs as well. Not nearly. I've been a customer since they opened in 1975. And will be until one of us quits being.”

“I am brokenhearted, my favorite pizza restaurant is CLOSED. I did not even get a chance to say adios to my friends of 20+ years .... No warning just CLOSED..... The Black Lady who waited tables here for years had a heart of GOLD.The Pizza Chef was always excellent . I wish I could contact these fine, outstanding folks for one last TIP....”

“Can't beat the vibe at Manana. The coffee is good too. Maybe not as much food selection as I would hope but everything else makes up for it.”

“Cant have a good place without great service. BIG shout out to Ms CJ behind the bar for always bringing the vibes and good energy. If you want to have a good time with friends or even by yourself stop by and give them a visit!!”

“The food was good and the presentation was clean and creative. The sashimi and nigiri pieces were quite large—I ended up cutting them into bite-sized pieces with my chopsticks. The handrolls were a good size and easy to eat. The menu doesn’t offer much variety, but now I know: if I want more options, I’ll just go elsewhere. Still, a solid spot if you know what to expect.”

“Very very good food I really recommend this place for you to try the best food. And very good customer service.”

“Senorita Rosa thank you for making us feel like we were back home in El Paso TX. I highly recommend you give it a try food was so good we even forgot to take pictures.(oops). Hand made tortillas yummy. Give them a try you won't be disappointed. Thank you Rosa will be back soon. ( Dios la bendiga).”

“My boss just got us all lunch from Chyngon Eats. I had a Babacoa on corn and it was delicious; I inhaled it. Really like the green sauce too. I'll definitely be back!!”

“Had a great time with friends and enjoyed my food. Staff was good. My order was right with good service.”

“We had great burgers and Brunch food. Recommend the onion petals and cheeseburger. The atmosphere is "Austin Weird" ! Service is friendly, but very slow. Will be back soon.”

“✨ Five-Million-Star Vibes at Caroline ✨ If I could bottle the magic of my first visit to Caroline on 7th & Congress, I’d wear it like a signature scent……truly bold, unforgettable, and absolutely divine. From the moment I walked in, the energy was electric. The greeting? Warm and welcoming. The atmosphere? Straight-up banging~~~~~think downtown chic meets effortless cool. Now let’s talk food: exquisite doesn’t even begin to cover it. Every bite was a love letter to flavor •••• rich, balanced, and plated like edible art. The creamy pasta dish? To die for. The vibrant salads? Fresh, fierce, and fabulous. Whoever’s running the kitchen deserves a standing ovation and a key to the city. Service? On-point with a capital P. Attentive without hovering, friendly without being fake, and timed like a well-rehearsed symphony. From the champagne to the check, it was smooth sailing with sparkle. I’m already planning my return ***** heels, appetite, and high expectations in tow. Caroline isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a whole mood. Highly recommend for anyone who loves their dining experience served with style, sass, and a side of downtown dazzle.”

“This is one of the most amazing restaurants I've ever been to. And, it's more than a restaurant. It's a must see attraction with the best view of Lake Travis, and by far the most magnificent spot to watch a Texas sunset. When in Austin, the Oasis calls!”

“Absolutely would try to the sirloin, it is a nice cut of meat and very tender. Their appetizers are extremely good as well.”

“Angelica, was our server in July for my birthday and my goddaughter's birthday. Both times service was outstanding the calamari is amazing and the steaks sooooo good, I have never had a steak that tender before, Angelica made suggestions for my Goddaughter and she tried calamari for the first time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Great place, brought my wife for our anniversary and we really enjoyed ourselves. I reserved seating next to the balcony and had an amazing view of downtown Austin. The staff had really great customer service and service was quick and we received our drinks and food in a timely manner and not to mention they have us a complementary glass of champagne for the both of us. I recommend this place and will be returning.”

“I recently celebrated a special occasion with a party of 10 at Steiner Ranch Steakhouse. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. Our waiter, William, was incredible—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was top-notch. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each entree was cooked to perfection; I had the Steak Diana and my husband had the Fried Elk and both of our entrees were incredibly delicious. We also had several of their appetizers and desserts, all were delicious. We were also pleasantly surprised by how quickly our meals arrived—only about 30 minutes after we ordered for a party of 10 on a Friday night! The large portions were more than enough to satisfy everyone, and I don’t think a single person at our table managed to finish their plate. Even though we couldn’t see Lake Travis due to it being late at night, the low lighting of the restaurant created a warm and intimate atmosphere. Their menus were easy to read, even in the low lighting, as they light up upon being opened. We were seated at the back of the restaurant and the floor-to-ceiling windows showcased the stunning lights of the Hill Country. We had a reservation for 7 PM and were seated right on time, which is always appreciated. Steiner Ranch Steakhouse has definitely earned its five stars, and I can’t wait to return for another amazing meal. Highly recommend!”

“The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is really cool and inviting.”

“Considering that I'm a vegetarian and this is (obviously) a very meat-y restaurant, this was a very good experience. Staff were friendly and welcoming, the decor is elegant, the semi-outdoor seating was pleasantly breezy on a hot day (I could do without the huge TVs, but that's me). I simply wanted to get a quick drink with an old friend and we chose Carve purely because of its location. We arrived during their happy hour (which starts at 3:00). We ordered a couple of tasty cocktails and an order of the cheesy cauliflower sticks -- delicious! The happy hour prices certainly made me happy, and the charming waiter checked back in at sensible intervals and remained good humored and attentive even when it must have become obvious that we were not going to be ordering more. I noticed that the menu includes some attractive vegetarian/vegan options and will bear Carve in mind for family celebration meals where there are carnivores as well as vegetarians to feed. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that they failed to include the tip I thought I'd added to the credit card slip and I realized when I checked my account that I hadn't left a tip at all -- apologies if that was my fault!!”

“This place is another delishhh spot�”

“Roaring Fork has a great vibe — cozy, stylish, and perfect for a relaxed dinner. Our server, Kaliana, was awesome. She's new but super friendly and really made the experience better. The food was good overall. I ordered a burger that had great flavor, though I did find a piece of lettuce that had gone bad, which was a bit of a letdown. Everything else was solid. All in all, good spot with great service and a nice atmosphere. I'd definitely go back.”

“The miso glazed sea bass with crab fried rice was outstanding. The ambiance was great, and no one rushed us. I can't wait to go again. Service was excellent!!”

“Food was pretty damn good. Had the fish and chips, and local brews on tap (as expected). Would recommend.”

“From start to finish, this dining experience was absolutely perfect. Our waiter was easy to talk to and knowledgeable of the menu. The starters were probably my favorite, but everything we ordered was flavored to perfection. We will be back”

“Amazing food and atmosphere”

“Nido is on the top level of the Loren hotel. There's a great view. Our server Alison was amazing, we were celebrating our anniversary and we were treated pretty special.”

“My fiancé and I stopped by for brunch and were so impressed — I’ve never rated a place 10/10 before, but this one absolutely deserves it! The food was incredible — my fiancé had the steak and eggs, and I had the Day Maker Classic. Both were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We also shared a side of pancakes, which were fluffy, delicious, and honestly some of the best I’ve had.

The coffee was amazing too — rich and smooth, not bitter at all. Our server (I believe his name was Ryan or Bryan) was super friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better.

Everything from the food to the service and atmosphere was perfect. We’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Austin. ☕🥞🍳”

“Food was decently good, we did the fixed menu and had some good options, but one dish was just pickles, the flavors of a snapper dish with a mole style sauce just overpowered the fish, and was over $250 for two people with a couple drinks. The drinks were a redeeming aspect, we tried 4 and all were fantastic. For the price/reputation I was sorely disappointed. This shared plate/tapas style with flair is common in Austin, and I think there are much better options that I will likely be going to instead.”

“Chicken bacon ranch is one of the tastiest sandwiches I’ve had in years—fresh, bursting with flavor, and quick. Do yourself and check this place out, you won’t be disappointed!”

“Delicious food! I had a Roma Supreme Pizza and a Calzone (well, there were 2 of us!). Both were so good, the recipe was on point. Definitely add me as a repeat customer.”

“Today I tried the Apple Fritter french toast. Let me tell you how divine the fluffy toast with apples and blueberries covered with a scrumptious syrup. Wow. I’ve never been disappointed with any menu option. It’s our favorite breakfast place.”

“The omakase was in my top 3 culinary experiences in Austin. I dream of the O Toro and Hokkaido Scallop. The Chicharron Negi Toro & Tostada blew my mind & taste buds. The flavor combos were innovative & supremely tasty. Even if you've been to high end omakases in Austin, I doubt you've seen a blend of cultural flavors as you can experience here.

The variety of flavors & techniques used to embellish certain dishes was impeccable. If I had to give a score, all dishes were at least an 8.5/10 or above. Some even reached a 9.5 or 10 in my mind. You would think that fusing the essences of such distinct cuisines can be jarring or strange, but the cohesion/balance of the flavors & textures were just right.

The atmosphere was very laid back and the space was well sorted despite the nondescript location. It felt upscale but casual as all the patrons were chit chatting a bit. They had some good tunes playing in the back as well. You can tell the crew was enjoying themselves as well.

Though the price is high as with any premium omakaze experience, it was 100% well worth the money. I do hope to come back in the near future.”

“I've been there twice already! It's soo good! I would recommend getting the chili oil wontons, green beans, and black and pepper udon. There are different spice levels (they don't say this) but I think default is wayyyy to spicy.
The first time I ordered the black and pepper udon, the flavor was sooo good BUT it was too spicy to enjoy 😭 second time I got it mild, and it was perfect... So good!!”

“Had the elote pizza and it was different but very good with the hot sauce. Worth a try! The chef brought my pizza to my at Still Whiskey, which was above and beyond service!!”

“I came here based on a high volume of recommendations/praise. Being Korean, I take my Korean food seriously. That being said, the food is solid. The overall experience is comparable to other places like Chodang Tofu House with a bit more modern decor. The Cold Arrowroot Noodle, Galbi, and Tofu Soup were all good, but not outstanding. The Arrowroot Noodle's broth was slightly lacking in flavor & depth, but still good for Austin standards. The Galbi is about what you can expect, decently good. The Tofu Soup was solid, but wished it had more protein, but the spice levels were on point.

Service was nothing out of the ordinary, not bad not outstanding. The atmosphere was nice enough & brightly lit, but perhaps a bit too open feeling due to the giant open floor plan not broken up in any way.

Value-wise, I personally would not order the Arrowroot Cold Noodle + Galbi combo, but could see myself ordering the Tofu Soup.

Overall, the hype is a little out of hand, but the food is fairly good. Try it out, but I will stick to going to Chodang Tofu House which is physically closer to me.”

“This place is amazing. Zoey is the best and makes our experience even better, every time! We love love the Italian sub and greenbelt. If you get dessert, get the ricotta donuts and the sundae!”

“This place is so aesthetically pleasing, perfect for photo ops and a girls night out dinner! I had their chilaquiles along with their queso blanco con chorizo! Super authentic taste! They do serve their breakfast menu all day! Our waiter was very kind and gave recommendations. I went with 2 other coworkers who got the Kickin Chicken and they both liked it too! Definitely going back soon to try some more entrees and drinks!”

“The pesto pop sandwich was so good! Excited to try more.”

“Always a great experience when we come here. Carla is pleasant and smiling when we walk in. Harvey always makes sure everything is good. We love the staff here. If you haven't been, it's a must try. You won't be disappointed. The brisket and the ribs are my go to every time.”

“Excellent service and food. I will be back.”

“I loved everything about this restaurant! Atmosphere, food and especially the customer service! I just wanted to give a shout out to the Manager Jesus. His engagement with my husband and I was the best. And for him we will continue on coming in. We live in Dripping Springs and drove all the way there to have lunch. We left feeling so happy. Just food for thought please open a restaurant in Dripping Springs. We have to drive 45min to an hour outside of Dripping just to have a nice lunch.”
