“Very Delicious and Great Location“

“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).“

“Good burger, excellent fried okra and pickles with ranch. Cheap beers on Sundays. Extremely dog friendly place they accepted my 2 rowdy chihuahuas and they even went off on the bartender (which rewarded them 2 pieces of bacon) Will definitely come back here once I'm back in Austin.“

“Amazing. Must-go location in Austin! They serve up wonderful array of drinks, especially their icy coffee - Irish and otherwise. The Dead Rabbit also does coffee in the morning starting at 7am - their tiramisu coffee is a must have. Great food- their sliders are delicious. Wonderful service in a restaurant and bar with great ambiance. The team at the Dead Rabbit is so kind, considerate and friendly. Reasonable prices for an exceptional experience.“

“workhorse is my favorite bar in all of austin, i came for the first time around a year ago and fell in love with the environment . the pimento cheese and spicy workhorse are my two favorites. every bartender here has been so kind and a pleasure to get to know, and i was made aware i accidentally posted a two star review (probably looking for directions and butt dialing 🥲) and i had to come back to fix it and say this place has never disappointed me !“

“One of the local OG dive bars in ATX! Great spot to get it some and have a great time!“

“We went last week to celebrate our brother's birthday. All of the staff were wonderful esp Tammy! She was very patient taking all our orders & took great care of us and made sure we all had a great time. Will definitely visit again“

“Seven grand Austin never fails to amaze. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help guide with drinks. I will keep coming to this establishment for years to come“

“Love this place.

I don’t think anyone goes to Frazier’s for the atmosphere, its sortof just a local bar.

I eat and review burgers often, and Frazier’s just makes it simple. The slider is exactly as they describe it— glorified Big Mac.

It’s a big mac if it tasted like the person who made it actually cares if it tasted good. Can’t beat the price, even for the serving size.“

“Lovely setting. Fun atmosphere and chilled“

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

“Brought a friend in for the smash burger hour hour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved our server! She was so informative, attentive, kind. (*only issue that the AC was full blast as to where it was almost too chilly! ha (how could this be in Austin during the heat?! :-) Overall, a great time, yummy dishes! ***the Baba Ghanoush is a must!“

“Such great barbecue! Great Dive Bar atmosphere!“

“Good views, good service. I highly recommend this place. 😊“

“Vic and Al’s is something truly special. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re welcomed by an energy that feels alive…warm, inviting, and full of heart. The décor, the music, the atmosphere, every detail has been so thoughtfully created, and you can feel the love behind it all. The food is absolutely fantastic…every bite bursting with flavor and creativity. The bar menu is a mixologist’s dream. The staff was incredible — genuine, attentive, and passionate about making sure everyone feels at home. You can tell the owner has poured so much heart and soul into this place, and it shines through in every moment. Vic and Al’s isn’t just a restaurant…it’s a place where memories are made. I can’t recommend it enough! One of the highlights when I go visit my son!!“

“I will never come back to Austin without having a burger at Casino El Camino! Probably the best burger Ive ever had. Went back the next day and had the wings, which were great as well. My wife loved her BLT. Service was great. I was referred here by a local bartender and need to go thank her.“

“Very unique and tasty food. Great service!“

“The Tigress Pub is hands down one of the best bars in Austin. The atmosphere is cozy, lively and full of character which makes it the perfect spot for a night out with friends. The drink selection is impressive with a great range of beers, cocktails and spirits to suit every taste. The bartenders are skilled, personable and always make you feel right at home. The music and overall vibe strike the perfect balance between relaxed and fun. Every time I visit I leave with a smile on my face. If you are looking for a pub that truly has it all, The Tigress is the place to be.“

“Crawfish 🦞 8/10! Season perfectly ✔️About a half pound dead but still very tasty! 337 lady👍🏽“

“This is a bar. This is a great bar. Great for night drinking, great for day drinking

If you're spending the day at Deep Eddys (pool) step out here for a cold pint and smash burger at pool bar.

If you're coming here at night enjoy the billiards table play some music from the jukebox.

The people are usually cool, beers are cheap, worth the visit“

“Best place ever. Always feel at home. Staff in next level.“

“My fiancée and I are always looking for fun and unique date night spots, and Vigilante has quickly become one of our favorites. We love bringing our own card game to play while enjoying the great food and drinks. Every time we’ve visited, we’ve said we’re going to try one of the many games they have available, but we end up getting so caught up in our own game that we never do! It’s still fun watching the staff enthusiastically teach other groups how to play new games, and it really adds to the welcoming atmosphere. The cocktails are outstanding. We both enjoy Old Fashioneds, and Vigilante makes one of the best Old Fashioneds I’ve had in the Austin area. We’ve also tried several of their other cocktails, and every one has been exceptionally well crafted. The food has been just as delicious. We usually order a couple of our favorite staples along with something from the rotating menu, and we’ve yet to be disappointed. What really sets Vigilante apart, though, is the staff. Every employee we’ve interacted with has been genuinely friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and fun to talk to. They proactively check on us throughout the evening, offer great recommendations for both food and drinks, and are always happy to answer questions about the menu or games. The call button at each table is also a great touch. It makes it easy to get service when you need it without interrupting your game. It’s not often that you find a place that consistently delivers great drinks, great food, excellent service, and such a unique atmosphere, but Vigilante does exactly that. It’s quickly become one of our favorite date night spots, and we’ve already recommended it to several friends. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Favorite bar in Fort Worth!! Great staff great bartenders and always great live music“

“I vended at a few Burlesque shows here a few years ago and loved it! Great staff and fun vibe! If I lived in Austin, I’d def be back for more shows and more coffee breaks. 😁“

“We don’t come often as we don’t live near, but it’s always an amazing treat. Today we sat at the bar and Skyler was AMAZING! We had the large seafood tower, extra order of the scallop nigiri, pasta special, and it was all absolute perfection! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“This place is such and amazing find! Bold spirits pushing the boundaries of tradition while also bringing foreign flavors into central TX! The tasting is free and I would challenge anyone not to walk out with several different bottles once they give it a try. I will be back and sharing with friends!“

“Well I would say yes & no! Nice place but the way the tables are set up is horrible. There isn’t a stage so if you are sitting at the small tables you can’t see the band that is performing because the higher table are in front. I think that the higher tables should go against the wall where the picnic table is or towards the back and the smaller tables should be up front. There are some people who are unable to sit and the higher tables but are unable to see the band other then that’s it’s a pretty nice place.“

“Great owners and bartenders! It feels like a family when you walk in.“
