“found a new place for lunch!! food was awesome. I am so glad they have GF options..”

“I can’t believe how fresh and delicious the poke I got was. Probably the best I’ve had in Austin, could stand toe to toe with what I’ve had in Hawaii. Great service, huge selection of fresh ingredients, decent prices and portion sizes. I love to get smaller portions and the “skinny” was perfect!

Really the quickest healthiest option around. I’ll be back!

Vegetarian options: Can build your own vegetarian bowl!

“Just completed a tour of the Central Texas Barbecue Scene. Visited Snow's BBQ-Lexington, Louie Mueller-Taylor, Kreus Market, Smitty's and Black's-Lockhart, The Salt Lick- Driftwood and Franklin's in Austin. It was great seeing the venues and the family history at these historic sites. I visited Franklin's in the past and felt it was the best brisket I had ever eaten in my life. I am a skeptic when it comes to famous barbecue joints. I must say that Franklin's BBQ was far superior to all of the restaurants I visited with no one even a close second. Aaron's attention to detail from the service, choice of briskets, the cook, the wrap, the holding and even the slicing of the final product is evident in every aspect of his trade. I was lucky enough to run into him at the restaurant and he happily talked BBQ with me. Franklin's may not have the long history of muti-generational BBQ in Central Texas, but he has figured it all out at a level that I have yet to see equaled by the best venues in the country. This is a bucket list restaurant for those who really enjoy BBQ. It is well worth the wait in line”

“I highly, HIGHLY recommend this place. Everything was so good.

First off, there’s plenty of parking in front and to the side of the restaurant (although the side parking may be for the liquor store next door). The spots are wide and could accommodate the huge SUV we rented.

Our waitress, Selin, was superb. She was attentive and remembered our entire order, without needing to write anything down!

We were a party of 4 with 3 dogs. We made a reservation for the patio because we had our dogs with us. We were seated at a corner table on the patio, which gave our dogs more space to roam while leashed and tethered to us.

It was pretty hot and humid outside (we came here on November 7, 2024 at 1PM). There were lots of flies and mosquitos around. Thankfully, halfway through the meal, the waitress put out a mini fan on our table to keep the insects away from our food.

For appetizers, we got:
Striped Bass Crudo - the fish was fresh and flavor was great. A bit too tart for my liking, but still very good. My partner said this was the best, but he usually really likes very sour and tart foods.
Burrata - very delicious. Had the right amount of sweetness from the glaze and great textural contrast with the nuts.
Deviled Eggs - my favorite appetizer! The truffles really put this dish up there. Usually I find truffles gimmicky, but they worked really well here.
Potato Chips (with cheese) - my least favorite appetizer. The chips were good but the dip tasted too much like cottage cheese for my liking.
Fried Shrimp - this was SO GOOD! The shrimp were huge and cooked well. Not too much breading either. The accompanying sauce was good too.

For our mains, we got:
Fried Chicken Sammie - this was really good. The chicken was very crispy and moist and tender on the inside. The slaw on it wasn’t overpowering. And the accompanying sauce was good.
Steak Sammie - I did not get to try this, but my friend said it was ok.
Farro Bowl - This was the best dish we got. The salmon was perfectly cooked: flaky with a crispy skin. The faro was also a good textural and flavor contrast.
Plancha Burger (protein style, buns on side) - At first, this looked mid (you can see in my photos). But, when I dug into the patty, the meat had such a good texture to it. And the flavor was amazing! I could tell that it wasn’t just a regular old frozen patty from the grocery store. The pickles and onions were also subtly tart and sweet, which I really liked.

Our friend originally booked a brunch reservation here so she could try the birthday cake dessert, but the waitress said that’s only served during dinner. We didn’t blame her because they close up at 2PM for brunch, and it was already 2:15PM by the time we finished our entrees and asked about dessert. However, our waitress was so amazing!! She asked the chef and they said they could prepare the dessert for us because it was my partner’s birthday. So, she brought it out with lit candles and added it to our bill (she gave us a new one because she already printed out our bill).

The price was fair for what you’re getting. Things ranged from $12-$22.

Overall, the food was phenomenal and the service was amazing. I highly recommend coming here when you’re in Austin!

Parking: There are 10 or so spots in front and maybe 8 spots on the side (though the ones on the side may be for the liquor store next door).”

“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!”

“Amazing food,good service,❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Great experience, Excellent Barbecue. Super friendly people.”

“Everything was good, but best brisket ever…”

“I ordered 2 large pizzas and 1 large garden salad to go. The pizza and salad were perfect, and the Sal was top-notch!! Will definitely go back to Baldinucci the next time I am in Austin.”

“A true Austin experience and the best staff, in total, that I have encountered in a long time. The staff and the retro setting set a really unique vibe in the restaurant. Food was very good with the spanish octopus and the rib eye being the highlights. Good, well selected wine list (even if markup is a little high) and a great bar program (Secret Beach on tap at a restaurant....thought I was dreaming).

Chelsea (Manager) was patient with my indoor / outdoor table change requests, despite being a very busy night. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive but not disruptive, and just plain cool....in fact I would say that about all of the serving staff.

Overall one of my best fine dining experiences in Austin. BTW, the outside patio is perfect.”

“grace took my order, and introduced me to everyone who was on staff at the time alex and raquel.

grace allowed me a sample of the cold brew. to me, had a little bit of a funky tang but once a little half & half was added it mellowed out into a rich enjoyable robust fruity flavor.

i’ve read a lot about their story and origin of beans and have always been intrigued and the flavors are complex. the coffee itself holds a story, something greater than what was in my cup welcomed me.

i had a brown sugar miso oat milk latte which was recommended by grace ? when i got it, raquel made me aware that the top was like a marshmallow foam and yes, it was! slightly powdery sweet and creamy topped the latte very well. the overall flavor was so mild, just enough brown sugar and a buttery slightly shy of salty — umami lite.

their loving signature was left in my coffee, so i’ll be back ?”

“Wow! This place is incredible. Charlie, Nguyen, and the rest of the team are amazing hosts and incredible at their craft, no pun intended. Such a special meal! Highly recommend for anyone who loves food.”

“Great place! If you don’t order the cannoli, you are missing out!”

“5/5 we tried the carnitas, queso, bistek, and nopales. all well seasoned and delicious. we will be back for sure. probably in a few days 5/30 we've been back several times and have had their torta, barbacoa, elotes and now plancha hamburger ....everything is wonderful . almost had everything on their menu”

“Great food and drinks. Nice music and outdoor seating. 100% recommend.”

“Totally new world of tacos! Amazing flavors, unusual combinations, super fresh ingredients and perfectly prepare. Well deserved James Beard award!”

“Amazing!!! Great atmosphere, amazing food, and down to earth owner!!!”

“excellent dining in a great atmosphere an awesome service sampled a bunch of tasting plates from the fish tacos to the bone marrow and the oysters even had a wonderful dessert with their homemade ice cream and bananas did I say that the service was awesome top notch five stars all day definitely a place to visit in Austin”
