Comfort Food Restaurants near Pflugerville, TX

“I stop by there today and the catfish platter was delicious. I got it earlier in the year and knew that once I went back to Pflugerville I was going there. Please go check them out. Fish fresh, flaky and fries were banging too!“

“There were 5 of us. Everyone really liked the food. Waitress wasnt as attentive as she should have been and signing in via waitlist didn't seem to have much impact as they were still taking others who had not signed up before us but it wasnt too bad. The croissants were awesome.“

“Wow what an amazing restaurant. Food was delicious and service was wonderful“

“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!“

“We’ve been to The Water Trough a few times now and in aggregate it is a fun and lively place to dine at. The closest parking is the Orange Garage so the walk over is quick. Breakfast or dinner, it is a nice, clean place with a good vibe and good food. The setting at night is much better as they have live music most nights and put up the garage shutter so you can hear it from their outdoor portion as well.

On the breakfast side of things we sat quickly and service was okay. We ordered the Texas breakfast tacos and the pancakes, hash browns, and bacon a la carte. The breakfast tacos were good. We got them with brisket and the portion was huge, although we wish it came with three tortillas instead of two because it was more than we could fit into them. The eggs, cheese, and brisket all came together and despite what reads as a smaller dish, we were pretty full by it. As for the pancakes, hash browns, and bacon; all were pretty classic versions of them. The pancakes were good, thin and sweet. The hash browns were cooked well with a slight crunch and the bacon was the highlight of the three, full of flavor with a nice chew and crisp. We also ordered chocolate milk, but whatever we got was NOT chocolate milk. It was closer to a frothed drink and had cinnamon in it which was a bit strange. The waitress could clearly see we were not feeling it and she comped it on our bill which was very, very nice of her to do without asking.

The dinner here is much better than the breakfast admittedly. The live music certainly helps and the vibe with the low lighting gives it a very nice feel when dining. We had the country fried steak and LSC burger, both very good. The country fried steak was one of the better ones we’ve had here, extremely savory and the fries were good too. The burger was juicy and full of flavor as well. Beware the fries here are really home fries or cubed fries in case geometry is not your thing.

Ultimately, The Water Trough is a very good place to eat at and is probably a bit overlooked due to its location in The Domain, but between solid food and good live music scene, we don’t see why anyone wouldn’t want to stop by. We’d recommend this spot as an alternative to the hustle and bustle of the north Domain and for those preferring a more relaxed and intimate night of food and music.“

“The food was good, customer service was great and fast. We will definitely be returning!“

“We had the avocado toast, cinnamon roll, and waffle flight with churro, banana, chicken and waffles, and grilled cheese… absolutely freaking fantastic! 10/10 recommend!“

“We’re in Round Rock to watch the Volts play at Dell Diamond and needed a place to eat lunch. Omg! This place was amazing. Our table ordered a wide variety of food and all had rave reviews. The Dr Pepper cake is a must try. Ask to sit in Madison S’s section if she’s working. She was so friendly and on top of things. Will be back again!“

“Excellente cuisine et le pudding chocolat un délice“

“My new favorite restaurant.“

“Cinco Niños is a fantastic spot for bold Mexican flavors and fun vibes. The tacos are packed with flavor, the margaritas are top-tier, and the service is always on point. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer just to enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out!“
