25 Best Southern Restaurants in Austin

“The brisket was ridiculously tender, seasoned just right, and you don’t even need sauce (but the sauce is still good). Portions are generous, the sides actually hit(that mac and cheese??). Not cheap, but 100% worth it.“

“everything in life will be muted and dull until I return to Olamaie it is exceptional to the point that I have lost sense of punctuation and capitalization truly“

“My wife picked this for my birthday lunch. We were seated next to a huge window with a wonderful view. The waitress was very attentive and the food was absolutely amazing! Because of the nature of their farm to table menu they were able to offer simple solutions for dietary issues/preferences. We will definitely be going back!“

From the moment the food arrived, it was clear we were in for something special—chef’s kiss doesn’t even begin to cover it! Every dish was perfectly prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with care and excellence. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was attentive, and the overall experience was simply top-tier.

“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.“

“This is a great place to get great service and delicious food. Review by Gabriel Culiat“

“The food was delicious we had the brisket hash and the puff pastry . I tried the homemade Sangria and it did not disappoint. The customer service was excellent and our server was very attentive The handwritten birthday card signed by the staff and the dessert treat was a nice touch. It was my first visit but I definitely will return. The only problem was parking, not enough of it behind the restaurant but I loved everything else.“

“The best dish we had was shrimp remoulade. It’s fried green tomatoes with shrimp and is delicious! The duck gumbo was okay, but the roux is too thick and not very tasty. The fried pickles were great. Excellent outdoor seating on the bank of Shoal Creek near downtown. Parking was difficult.“

“The BEST brunch in Austin. Do not miss the chicken fried steak and waffles!“

“Love this place! Spicy chicken samich is the *ish!!!“

“So we went to the one off 183 and Anderson lane location. It was my daughter's 23 birthday!!! We ordered and our food was hot and fresh and the service was great. They have a new manager and she is spot on with customer service and attentive!! Will diffently go back!!!“

“Overall it was a good 1st visit to the restaurant. We arrived right as the doors opened, so it was really quiet and the staff was attentive. The food and portions were very good for the price. We will definitely be back for a few other menu items we had our eye on.“

“Absolutely delightful experience! Great food with prices that are a good twenty percent below the competition. They were out of Chicken Pot Pie which both my girlfriend and I had wanted. They were very gracious about it, comping a few items for us.“

“We love going to the Golden Corral but our gift cards that we purchased will not scan so we cannot use them to pay for our meals. We have big cards >$90 but what to do?????“
