Comfort Food Restaurants in Austin, TX

“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!“

“Stopped in here for a hum day meal after seeing this on social media. I’ve been to Paris several times and so happy to see a dedicated Parisian cuisine restaurant here in Austin! The quarter chicken was juicy and flavorful, especially with the cilantro sauce. The chocolate croissant was very rich and buttery but the yuzu beignets needed just a tad more filling. I’ll be back!!!“

“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!!“

“Alright came in for the bomb chicken. Ended up with even better company and conversation! CJ doin big things in this place definitely kept a smile on my face. Oh one more thing pecan pie with the vanilla scoop on top set it off for the end.“

“Ended up at The Water Trough and it had that easy, outdoorsy feel right away. The open space and casual setup make it perfect for hanging out with friends without any pressure. Drinks were solid and the whole vibe just felt relaxed. It's the kind of place where you show up and stay longer than planned.“

“Excellent! Catfish and CFS were the best we have had in Austin!“

“First time here, the oxtails and greens were delicious 😋🤤“

“If you haven't tried this place you are missing out... We saw them on the cooking channel last night and had to have one of their sammie's... Holy crap they did not disappoint!!!! Hands down best sandwich I've ever had in my life 💯💯💯💯 go get you some ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ##EATLOCALATX“

“We have just recently discovered Bee Dumpling. We have eaten lunch on site and most recently picked up for dinner at home. The food is just so fresh, so good. Portions are plentiful and we are just so glad they are South. Please consider coming to Kyle area, we desperately need high quality Asian food in Kyle. Thanks!!!!!“

“Food was really good. Services was amazing. I forgot the servers name he was taking care table from the bar. He suggested items from the menu“

“AMAZING, so so so sooo good. My husband and I were in town for the weekend and looking for our first meal in the city, and this spot did NOT disappoint! Pork belly bao, pork egg roll, fried rice, lemongrass chicken banh mi, and fresh limeade.. every single item was so fresh, and delicious! Tony was an exceptional host and made us feel like family. Wish we lived here so we could frequent this spot. Thank you so much Tony!“

“We ordered off the brunch menu. I had the Breakfast Banh Mi and my wife the Thai Crab Omelet. Both were incredibly good. We were able to seat outside on the patio and enjoy our food. Our server was amazing and considerate, especially since she was the only server working, because you would have never known.“

“My BFF and I have been exploring new establishments in the East Austin area to see/ peep their atmosphere, ambiance, service and drinks/food. We both love the “down the earth” atmosphere with garage/backyard vibe. It’s definitely a “must go back again” spot for future “Working Women Wednesdays” meetups.“

“Them Brussels gave me muscles. 💪🏼“

“While visiting the area, where I lived long ago, I found Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. And I'm glad I did! My server, Heather, was extremely polite and helpful, suggesting the use of the tableside game/payment device as a way to view photos of all the selections, since the printed menu had photos of select items. The glazed salmon was a fantastic lunch choice. My only regret: I wasn't in town long enough to return to sample more from the extensive menu.“

“For the most part, we enjoyed our meal. The coffee wasn't great and my carrots were baked too long and were too soft. The waiter had been excellent until he returned my credit card but did not return the bill. I could not check the total and the suggested tips say it is based on after-tax amounts. Tips should always be based on the pre-tax bill. That was a year ago.
My review is mixed. We waited almost 5 minutes to be seated even though they only had 4 customers. The pastry rolls they gave us were burnt. Personally, I don't like the icing and would just like a pat of butter. My wife said her hamburger buns were too salty, and the fries were cold and not crispy. I agreed. I used the machine on the table to pay and the only choice given was to email a receipt or not get one. The waiter had to give me one. My meal was excellent, I had broccoli instead of carrots this time.“

“Ruben is an outstanding bartender—friendly, professional, and incredibly skilled. Every drink is made to perfection, and he creates a great atmosphere. The bar has an awesome vibe, and the food is just as impressive. Highly recommend!
