“Cool place and nice vibes“

“Such a great experience! We stopped for brunch and mimosas on the way to Dripping Springs - it was "hidden gem" right off the highway.“

“My wife and I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! This spot everyone is SO nice. I love the Pho I get the chicken or the brisket all is amazing. The cold water service just makes the experience even better. One time I was craving the pho I called ahead they had the pho out as soon a I sat down were happy to accommodate my busy schedule. This place is a neighborhood 10/10“

“Our first night out in Dripping Springs, having recently moved from the UK, and so glad we choose Grawlix Lounge to enjoy a drink for our second wedding anniversary. Great atomsphere, and wonderful and friendly staff. I love an Old Fashioned cocktail and this place has several creative variations of their own crafting! I’ve tried 3 (so far) and they are all delicious and perfect mixed. Food was great and perfect for the lounge vibe. Also open to midnight. Definitely recommend and will be back.“

“I want to give a shout out to a wonderful new restaurant here in South Austin, specifically the Brodie/Slaughter area. It's called The Local, and it's a delight. The decor is warm and inviting--no chrome or glass and no tvs blaring sports. We were pleased to see that the place was busy at 7 on a Tuesday, it's such a welcoming sound. The food was perfectly prepared and artfully presented, simple, no frufru. The service was terrific, sharp, prompt and helpful. We met the owner and were delighted to learn that this is not part of a chain or even a 'group' as they call them now, but a single family operation. We'd love to see them succeed, if only for the slightly selfish reason that it's nice to go to a good restaurant without having to drive a long way. It's just a few minutes down the street and you may be sure we'll be going back. We need more of these kinds of joints down here. Fair warning, it's not cheap, but then what is these days?“

“Ordered ground beef nachos and was served a Whole Lot! Delicious too with a Mexican Margarita.“

“You have to check out this laid-back local DS spot for artisan coffee, cocktails, food trucks, and an inviting indoor and outdoor vibe with picnic tables, plenty of seating, fenced play area, and friendly staff. FairLane checks all the boxes!“

“Great service, delicious food and drinks!“

“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.“

“Fun, vibrant atmosphere. Great service and a menu with lots of variety and flavor. Wonderful addition to Circle C! 😊“

“la atención y servicio son excelentes y por supuesto le brinde a mi paladar exquisitos sabores“

“J-5 offers a perfect combo of laid back Austin vibe, nice cocktails and wine selection, fresh, perfectly prepared food, and friendly, yet spot-on service.
We ate an early dinner and shared the restaurant with folks from just off work having a beer to families enjoying a Friday dinner. Our server Jackson was fun and professional, always there without being in the way. Manager was hands on, checking orders, visiting with patrons, and cleaning tables…whatever was required for smooth operation and excellent experience.
Bulleitt rye old-fashioned was a bullseye and they even had a wine for the wine ponce; Electric Jellyfish for me. Firecracker shrimp could be a meal on its own, lightly fried with a yummy slaw.
Our prime filets were moist and perfectly prepared…admit we’re generally hesitant to order steaks out, but were not disappointed, very pleased in fact.
Bustling, fun atmosphere, with plenty of room outside if preferred.
Easily the best “nice meal” option in Spicewood.“

“Excellent menu for all occasions. My top pick for the austin area. ❤️“

“Ate here for the first time today. food was beyond delicious. The staff was great Will be going back soon. Live in Bastrop but it is definitely worth the drive.“

“Working with Staci and her team was an absolute breeze. The tacos were delicious. The team were so accommodating throughout the wedding planning process. Communication was fluent. The day of service team were consistently making sure the bride and groom and her family + friends were happy. Thank you. I am looking forward to working with you all again.“

“Really good first experience, good, and pricing.“

“Awesome people, beautiful space, great sushi, and live music. What’s not to love!?“

“Every dish I've tried has been delicious! All very fresh & flavorful. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Ski Shores Cafe on Lake Austin is the ultimate spot to chill with great food and drinks. It's got a laid-back vibe, perfect for hanging out with friends or family. Friendly staff and weekend live music enhance the experience. It's my top pick for easygoing meals, especially by boat. Just a tip: dock on the side for easier access on busy days, as front slips can be tricky with boat waves.“

“DK Maria’s has been our “ GoTo” for years… definitely a “ must visit” in South Austin!“

“Love this place! So much to do, super relaxed and comfortable! Great people! Best place in town!“

“Under the new ownership since this past summer, this local favorite spot is reclaiming its charm and developing it's own new and unique style by revamping the menu, redecorating the interior and bringing back live music! ;) I find myself just stopping by in the afternoon because it is always a super welcoming vibe, the food is amazing and the staff is very generous and attentive. 🤘 5/5 stars“

“If you're searching for an authentic, vibrant Mexican dining experience in Austin, look no further than Flores. This local gem truly excels on all fronts, making it a standout choice for anyone craving incredible food, expertly crafted drinks, and excelllent service.

The culinary journey at Flores absolutely must begin with their Queso Flameado. It's a revelation – a sizzling, bubbling skillet of melted cheese, often with your choice of chorizo or mushrooms, served with warm tortillas ready to scoop up every irresistible, gooey bite. It's rich, flavorful, and dangerously addictive, setting the perfect tone for the meal to come. Complementing the bold flavors of the food, their martinis are nothing short of excellent. Expertly mixed and wonderfully potent, they offer a sophisticated counterpoint to the lively dishes, ensuring every sip is as enjoyable as every bite.

Beyond the exquisite food and drink, what truly sets Flores apart is its exceptional customer service. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with genuine warmth and attentiveness. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu, quick to offer recommendations, and always ensure your glass is full and your needs are met without being intrusive. It creates an atmosphere that feels both professional and incredibly welcoming, making you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer. Flores isn't just a meal; it's a complete dining experience, and one you'll be eager to repeat. Highly recommended!“

“Very relaxed atmosphere and very roomy. With the right weather it was fun!“

“Drinks were excellent. One dish was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The burger has good flavor, but was slightly overcooked and a little dry, but the bun was delicious and the truffle parmesan fries are some of the best I've ever had! Our waiter/bartender was very attentive. He makes the best drinks too!!“
