As a plant-based family, we LOVE that Flower Child offers so many fresh, healthy options we can actually enjoy together. Our 4-year-old is obsessed with the sweet potatoes and cauliflower—major win! 🙌 Bonus: the atmosphere is absolutely magical. Cozy, vibrant, and full of good vibes. We’ll definitely be back! 💚“

“First time here. Kelly delivered exceptional service with impeccable professionalism, demonstrating a remarkable balance of friendliness and courtesy. Their promptness, graciousness, and unwavering excellence truly set them apart. This team truly embodies the epitome of excellence.“

“Every one is SO nice here. Caesar was so polite and kind to all the customers, he took his time making my lil pizza and I found out he is from El Paso TX like me! Whoo Hoo. Love my 915 peeps. Very kind man. As an RN it is so awesome to see establishments like this MOD PIZZA giving jobs to older people as he appears to be well in his 60’s or early 70’s. I will definitely be coming back. My mini pizza was YUMMY! Today is March 14, 2025. 5 stars! Great people great service and delicious food!“

“There are a LOT of gluten free options, and the sushi is incredible!“

“Was blown away by how great my meal was! The experience was amazing from the moment we walked in and were offered a cookie! Loved everything we tried and will be back! (The non-vegan tried the steak sandwich and brisket and was amazed and how delicious both were)“

“Best beef ribs in Texas! Don't forget to get the beans.“

“For more years then I care to remember, Eddie V's has been a constant measure of excellence. It has the unique ability to bring old skool elegance to modern chic. Living SW Austin, has kept us out of the downtown scene, however we do venture out from time to time for staycation celebrations. This was the case for our recent visit.

It was my Suzie's 70th and an excellent reason to celebrate. I made reservations a month or so in advance for a table of 4. I got a phone call from Eddie V's to confirm the reso, the occasion and to review Suzie's Allergies the day of. Nice touch, makes one feel classy. They have valet parking, but we had a ride, so parking was a no brainer.

Upon arrival, our table was ready, in one of their back room areas in a wooden panelled room. We felt removed from the rest of the restaurant, but included in the ambiance. Alexander our waiter, quickly came by and introduced himself. They utilize a team service here, but Alex was definitely going to guide through this evenings dinner. Superb waiter. Polite, funny, informed and there when we needed him and not there when we didn't. It was like, he had a third sense to know when we wanted something else or a question. Cannot ask for more than that.

Dinner was delicious. It started with a complementary Amuse, to get the palate in check. Although Suzie cannot enjoy the 16 Oyster spread we ordered, she did enjoy the Calamari. I like how they prepare the Calamari at Eddie V's. They combine some veggies with the Calamari and lightly battered. The Oyster's were all East Coast, from Blue Point, Summer Love, Shooting Point and MoonLight Bay. Sweet, fresh with subtle brininess. My bro in law ordered the Lamb Chops and Chilean Sea Bass which they enjoyed. Wifey and I, optimistically ordered steaks. Mine Oscar style with a Crab topping. Optimistically... only because it seems the past few times at other establishments when we have ordered steaks, more times then not, they cannot seem to prepare steaks medium. Undercooking seems to be the new Medium. Why we had this silly bias is ridiculous here at Eddie V's. They were perfectly cooked to our request. I shared with Alex our trepidations and he mentioned he never is concerned with the grill guys, they have been here for many years and know their stuff. They certainly do. We opted to also ordere the Au Gratin, epic and some grilled asparagus, with nice char. I will mentioned that not only did they provide us with a complimentary Amuse, but a Champagne Toast for Suzie's 70th and a celebratory desert with fire and all the stuff.

Even though we don't get by as much as we used to, Eddie V's Always... Always nails it. Do you get what you pay for? Absolutely. Never in a rush to get us out of there, even on a bustling PM in Downtown Austin on a Friday. Job Done Guys!“

“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“

“Last night, my wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Estancia Brazilian Steakhouse, and from start to finish, it was an outstanding experience. While the food certainly lived up to expectations, it was the exceptional service—especially from Jerfer and David—that truly made our evening memorable.

From the moment we arrived, both Jerfer and David made us feel welcomed and taken care of. They were attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about ensuring we had a great time. Their timing was impeccable, and they were always nearby when we needed anything, yet never overbearing.

The classic Brazilian steakhouse experience—endless cuts of perfectly grilled meat, brought straight to the table—was delicious, but it's that high level of hospitality that elevated the night. It's not often you encounter staff who go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect, and both Jerfer and David did just that.

My wife and I left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. If you're looking for not only great food but also top-tier service, Estancia is the place—and if you're lucky enough to have Jerfer and David as your servers, you're in for a fantastic night“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“Everything was good, but best brisket ever…“

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

“These burritos are food for the soul. 12/10 recommend the buffalo burrito“

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

“Good vegan food. Came out fast.“

“all vegan food that was very tasty! service was quick and efficient, not the friendliest but got the job done!! the food definitely made up for everything, especially the amazing baked goods!!!! 😍😍“

“Absolutely the best vegan pizza in Austin! Hands down! 💜🍕🍕🍕“

“Love Bodhi Viet and what they stand for. Everything on the menu is vegan Vietnamese, mostly faux meats in different formats, not a ton of tofu. Think seitan. Most dishes are served with fresh, raw veggies or steamed veg with no seasoning which is a nice balance with the heavy, salty faux meat. Everything my husband and I have tried has been delicious! We try to try a new item every time. I overheard the cashier tell a regular that R10 is her favorite (braised tofu rolls). $5 vegan banh mi is a steal, and most of the other entrees are $9. You can currently order online and pay there with card or cash.“

“Great find on east side of campus. Cafeteria style lunch / dinner. All vegan / macrobiotic. Very tasty. Meal came with beans, grains, salad, vegetables and soup. Various teas included in price. Relaxed atmosphere, nice vibes. Very healthful meal. Definitely recommended.“

“The salad bar was really nice, I enjoyed the butternut squash soup. The dessert was amazing as well as all of the cuts of meat! The service was awesome as well. Highly recommend.“

“We liked this place so much, we ate here twice during a long weekend in Austin. Everything we tried was excellent, from the baked goods to the salsa. Some of the best vegetarian fare I’ve ever had, and I’ve been veggie for nearly 25 years. Gracious, friendly service. Can’t recommend enough!!“

“Ordered this cheese as a gift for a friend and she was so sweet and shared it! It came shipped in an insulated box with two ice packs and was still very cold when it arrived. The cheese was just delicious and it seemed like we all had different favorites! Top quality would totally buy again! It is also sold in a local natural food co-op near me in CA!“

“Love it here! Fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere.“

“Great Food and awesome ambiance.“

“Zucchini Kill is a fantastic bakery. Everything is gluten free, vegan and delicious. The lemon blueberry cupcakes are especially amazing.“

“Very nice mediterranean options, would recommend.“

“We stopped by late this morning to treat my 3 year old to a cupcake. We got the strawberry cupcake and vanilla cupcake. They were both delicious! The shop itself is cute and the staff are very friendly. Next time I will have to try the blue velvet.“

“Only next level Japanese dining enthusiasts would be able to immediately recognize that they have chosen well. If you are lucky enough to discover the Happy Hour menu then you’ve hit the jackpot. Do yourself a favor and go because ain’t nobody have dry aged fish! What?!? Yes this separates Lucky Robot from the rest of the Japanese places in Austin. Put it on the bucket list folks!“

“Can not recommend this place enough the service here is beyond comparison the Michelin Star here is well deserved this is a high line, premium experience.“

“Great place to hang with friends! Noisy, but that’s part of the atmosphere. Good number of screens around to keep up with games.

Parking: Great staff!

Kid-friendliness: Not much for kids to do other than a couple of games in the back.“

“Food was excellent & the atmosphere was very warm & cozy.“

“Amazing food! Every dish we tried was DE-LICIUOS! Wait staff and hosts are lovely people. Atmosphere and vibe is warm and inviting here. My only suggestion for this restaurant is that they turn the volume down on the music. It really is WAY TOO loud. Other than that, visit often so that you can try the entire menu!“

“This was a cold vibe. Great vegan eats and a fun outing!“

“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“

“WOW OH WOW. first, best vegan food i’ve had ever. my partner and i travel and try spots out often but let me tell you this is SOUL FOOD. second, Marlon hopped out when we were reviewing the menu and gave us insight to the INCREDIBLE intentional and sacred energy they craft into this refreshing, unique, and delicious food. third, every staff member had the best vibe it felt like family. food came out quick and the portions are perfect. i legitimately would move to Austin just to eat here frequently. the beer battered cauliflower was incredible: sauceyyy, spicy, tangy, savory. i couldn’t put it down. fries are absolutely perfect. the dime bag lions mane wings were healing for the body and mind. if i didn’t miss a perfectly fried “wing”. we also got the oysters and they were just as divine. it is the perfect nostalgia to good ol fried happiness. absolutely what an unforgettable and incredible experience. kindness, passion, and love radiate from these amazing folks and through their nourishing food. you can tell they are truly here for the community. most amazing food experience. 100% recommend for ALL people who love good classic southern food. 🌱🌞 ALSO we loved our experience so much we purchased a round 2 to-go to eat later after our evening with friends. *approximately 9 hours later* we put the cauliflower patty in the oven with the fries at 250• for 20 +/- minutes (no toppings just patty and fries) then after that time passes, turned broiler to high setting for 5-10 minutes throwing the bun in the tray (no pickles, tomato, or cabbage) then we rebuilt the sandwich and it was incredible!!!! fries and sandwich tasted just as awesome as the first round (round two wings didn’t make it home😉). 💗✨“

“The service was fast and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious! The best breakfast my wife and I have ever had!“

“Visited Austin for a few days and looked up a brunch spot to hit up… the name caught my attention and it did not disappoint! The kimchi hash was phenomenal! And you can never go wrong w a smoked salmon bagel! We will definitely be back when in the area! Staff was attentive, nice and the atmosphere was great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food was amazing!! 5* The burgers are where is at!! We sampled different options from the menu but the OG Cheeseburger was absolutely the BEST!! I've ever had!! 💜🤩“

“Sonny’s Backyard is a fantastic bar with a lot to offer. There’s plenty of parking, which is always a bonus, and the vibe is perfect for a laid-back night out.

The food trailers on-site serve up some great eats, and you can enjoy live music that plays well into the night—a rare treat for this area. The bar itself is cozy and charming, with a cute interior and a pool table that still takes quarters.

What really sets Sonny’s apart is that it stays open past midnight, making it a go-to spot for late-night fun. Whether you’re there for the music, the food, or just to hang out, Sonny’s Backyard is a great choice for a good time.“

“Wow, so good! Such good quality! Home made deliciousness! I got the beet sandwich and was blown away with every bite of it. This was a great portion size, and a fair price. I can’t wait to try their bbq seitan sandwich. This is a hidden gem.“

“Amazing food! Excellent service! Great atmosphere! Thank you to the team at Phoebe's Diner downtown for their awesome hospitality!“

“Great food! So glad to have just learned they have one where I live!“
