Hyde park Bar & Grill - Westgate

One of my favorite places. Atmosphere is always chilled and the food is delicious. I especially love the salmon and their fries are to die for!

One of the worst restaurants I've been to in Austin. Waitress was extremely slow while the restaurant was not busy at all. We ordered the avacado fries as an appetizer and they tasted like fried fish. It seems like they used some nasty old oil to fry. Ordered a smoked steak for entree and it was dry, tasteless, and undercooked. I asked for medium and it was closer to rare. Would not come back here even if you paid me. Atmosphere and decor is run down and falling apart.

Very yummy ?, great french 75! Chicken Fried Steak was delicious!

Hyde Park Bar & Grill is a longtime favorite. Their food is consistently excellent, fresh and tasty. The Hyde Park Fries are a fun splurge. I have gone the the original location on Duval for 30 years. After moving south, l was pleased to find the location on Westgate and south Lamar.

Had the chicken fried steak. The coating fell off and needs to be more crispy. (The coating they use at Jim's and Cheddar's is excellent.) The sides were great. They need to serve some sort of bread with their meals like many other restaurants. But overall, enjoyed the meal very much.

The food is good. Great for a brunch.Service could use some help but not a deal breaker.

Fried avocado fries were brown avocados. Collard greens were unpalatably raw and bitter. Grilled broccoli was charded but otherwise completely raw.

Awesome place! Always surprised by how slow it is. Excellent food, excellent old-Austin service. They really make you feel comfortable, love it! I'll be eating here as long as they're here and still feeling like that old Austin good!

Wow, some of the worst service I've experienced in a long time. I'm not usually South but was in the area with a coworker and we decided to go to Hyde Park grill. Our service was awful. I am pretty tolerant but this was beyond acceptable. Our waitress never checked on us, never refilled our drinks, finally had to flag her down to request a couple ketchups and she brought one. at the end she sort of threw our check down on the table (after we flagged he down to get it) but left us no pen to fill out the tip/total. The food was fine but overpriced. I've had much better burger and fries for $20.. Just was a pretty unpleasant experience.

Always good food. Seems to be prepared well. Score surprisingly well on CGM even though it was a heavy carb meal. Staff is great, place is a little dated, but well kept.

Vegetarian options: They indicate vegetarian options on the menu, which is good so that people can avoid this foolish and unhealthy fad.

Such a good choice for lunch on this beautiful day! They have indoor and outdoor seating, good selection and service! Try the Reuben!!!

I’m always happy when I get a chance to visit Hyde Park Grill when I’m back in Austin, but this was a different experience. Our sister passed away here on Sat., and after many days of not leaving her side, we drove over to HPG to get a warm meal. When we got there, there was a 20-30 min wait. I mentioned that the hostess, Ruby, what we’d just been through, and asked if there was any way we could just sit down anywhere sooner, that we’d be grateful. Well, she kindly spoke to the next customer, who gave up their place for us. It was a small gesture, but meant so much to us on the worst possible day. Thank you Ruby! (Also, the Chicken Fried Chicken was as perfect as ever.)

Ate lunch on a weekday. Service was great and seating was very available. The Mahi Mahi tacos were very good. The Pastrami Rueben was a little tough and salty. Both meals were good enough to return again another time.

The space is casual, music not too loud, local art featured on the walls. They are def short staffed, as there was only 1 server on the floor. Our server Shawn (sp?) was quirky and upbeat. We ordered the fried avocado appetizer, which was good but not much seasoning in the breading really, it was definitely better with the slightly spicy sauce it came with. We also got the Hyde park fries large portion and he warned us that it was enough for 5-8 people. He was right about that! Lol We did see a small order which would have been a better choice for our table of 3. My guy ordered the chicken fried steak with mac and cheese and mashed potatoes, and I ordered the chicken fried chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes, my son had the meatloaf with the grits and mashed potatoes. The appetizers took a while to come out, then our entrees came about 5 minutes later. They accidentally gave my guy chicken, and the server noticed that when he got to the table so he gave him the plate anyway and said he'd get him the steak, we all finished eating by the time the CFS was done so we just had that boxed up to go. They did take the CFS off our bill without being asked to do so.The fried chicken was good, we haven't tasted the CFS yet, the green beans were fresh, young and tender but lacked seasoning. The mac n cheese was good but not spectacular. The meatloaf was a thick dense meatloaf that had good flavor and topped with French fried onions. The grits were okay but not great. We had the peach pudding dessert and oh my goodness! It's awesome! It's like if you had a pineapple upside down cake but substitute peaches and a tres leches mixed together you'd have this! Divine!The downside was definitely the cleanliness of this place. There was trash and food on the floors, tables were left dirty for quite some time and bussed very slowly, and as a server myself, I would have more pride in the dining room cleanliness and bust my tush to try to keep it cleaner. You have to wonder, if they let guests see this uncleanness upfront, how clean is it in the back, where we can't see?

So we came here after seeing a movie next door. The place was pretty empty so we were thinking the food would be hot, fresh and good. Nope, not at all. The greens were crunchy! We got the award winning fries and I'm not sure what award they won in the past but they were trash. Cold and tasted old. The shrimp and grits and were also not good. The grits were probably from way earlier in the day or the day before. Definitely would not recommend this place at all. Save your money folks, I felt like I got robbed for $80. The service was good though.
