“We always enjoy these treats from the Barton Creek Farmers Market on Saturdays. The blueberry scones are phenomenal and the churro squares are so good you’ll dream about them.”

“Incredible. The drinks and food were insane. The broccoli dish we had was the best thing I've had in a long time. The service was also outstanding. Super pleased with our experience!”

“I would like to respectfully start with; I’ve been to Uchi multiple times over the years and will never forget my first experience (which will always be the best in my mind.) That being said — tonight might have been the closest to first I’ve ever had. Chance, our server was attentive, knowledgeable, easy going, brought some of the best plates when we asked “bring us what you like/anything you think we missed” literally 12/10 would recommend. Ask for Chance, he knows his shiiiiiiii* and made our night absolutely amazing and something we will never forget!”

“I absolutely loved this place! Staff were super friendly and the food was full of flavor. I got steak and frties and loved it. I took the rest home and my loved it too!”

“Great experience every time and the food is amazing. Highlights are the fillet sliders, crab fried rice, and lobster mac and cheese.

Our most recent visit was some of the best service and food quality yet, though it's always excellent.”

“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).”

“Sooo freaking good! I want to say my favorite on this trip so far!”

“It was absolutely delicious”

“I swung by Terry Black’s this morning to pick up a big order of barbecue to take to friends in California, because they need to know what the very best barbecue in Texas tastes like. ❤️⁣ ⁣ Chad, Sharon, and Kait were so helpful behind the counter, making sure everything was wrapped perfectly for a travel cooler and ready to survive a flight, complete with reheating instructions for when it arrived.⁣ ⁣ What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. They took the time to visit with me, answered all of my questions, and made the whole experience feel personal instead of rushed. We ended up having some great conversations, and they even let us sample a few things before we decided exactly what to order.⁣ ⁣ The food is phenomenal, but the people are what make you want to come back. Texas barbecue is about more than brisket, it’s about generosity and making people feel welcome, and this team absolutely nailed it. Can’t wait to share a little taste of Texas with my California friends.”

“I reserved online for my daughter’s birthday and got into town an hour earlier and they still were able to accommodate us. At the table with the menus was a birthday card with a really nice and meaningful note on the inside. Staff, drinks, and food were amazing! Definitely recommend checking this place out.”

“Everything about this place is amazing..”

“I am 56 years old and have eaten pizza my whole life. I’ve had good pizza but this is the best I’ve ever tasted. Every bite was perfect. The crust was perfect and the flavor was incredible. We will definitely be back.”

“A great spot and fun atmosphere.”

“Don’t sleep on the pork biscuit. IMO definitely better than the brisket. The pork biscuit had more flavor and fat to combat the biscuit. Can’t forget about the cinnamon biscuit rolls - definite must! Go buy a coffee in Radio cafe and eat there to avoid the heat.”

“Great Food and awesome ambiance.”

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

“Absolutely loved the food and atmosphere! 10/10! Our server was so amazing and We loved having her!”

“My wife and I visited last Wednesday on our vacation from Minnesota. The brisket was great, the barbacoa was the best I've ever had anywhere. The onion rings were amazing and I don't personally care for onion rings. The jalapeno cheese chorizo was outstanding. As good as all those were the beef ribs were the best most perfect bite of food I've ever had... But what really stood out is the amazing staff from Evan greeting us as we walked in the door to everyone that we met so helpful kind and cheerful! Having worked in the service industry for most of my life it's always a joy to be treated so well!”

“Very Delicious and Great Location”

“Such a lovely setting and an oasis in the middle of Austin. Loved the food as well and the service was outstanding. I want to come back to enjoy the patio and the gardens with all those beautiful live oak trees. Such a treasure!”

“We visited Moonshine Bar & Grill this weekend, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. 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. This is the kind of place that reminds you why great food and great hospitality matter. 10 out of 10— We will absolutely be recommending Moonshine Bar & Grill and can’t wait to return! 🍽️✨”
