“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.“

“Loved Sway make sure to ask for a seat at the bar upstairs - amazing city view!“

“🌱 5 Stars for Flower Child!
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! 💚“

“Honestly fantastic. Im surprised by the current rating tbh. I got a kiwi bowl but id just say thay judging by the quality of the bowl, their ingredients are top quality too and the atmosphere was very chill too 😊. Ill be returning for sure.“

“Pablo (the new GM here) is one of the kindest & hardest working people I’ve seen in a long while. I don’t come too often but because of him I’ll def be back more. Thank you Pablo for your professionalism & making my visit amazing.“

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

“Food so good it doesn't matter that it is not real meat.

The brisket (shiitake mushroom) is divine, burger was good, fries were good, nuggets were nice, chicken pesto sammich was thicc.

So great will love to return.“

“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 have never had a bad meal at any of the Eddie V's and last night was no exception. We started out the crab cake and the calamari both were excellent but the calamari was by far the best I have ever had. My 22oz bone in ribeye was cooked to perfection and the sides were the mash potatoes and the grill asparagus which were delicious and enough for 5 people. And the bananas Foster was amazing! I also want to thank Charlie our server who was spot on and also funny.“

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

“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“

“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 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.“

“In the vegan food truck park on Cesar Chavez which is a favorite spot. Possum specifically does “trash” pizza: thin crust with inspired, creative signature pies like the bac-n Mac and the Philly cheese steak which are two of my favorites. Check their instagram to see if they are going to be open. Text to order ahead“

“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!“

“Some of the best food I’ve tasted. Those oysters are mind blowing! Great staff.“

“Everything was good, but best brisket ever…“

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

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

“While visiting Austin, I got to try a vegan charcuterie board at a cider house, which included a wedge of Tomato Herb Fromage and I was blown away. It was soft, flavorful, and paired so well with the other items on the board. I didn't realize at that moment, that Rebel Cheese had a physical store location in Austin. Of course, I made a point to get there before I flew home. I bought some vegan chocolate chip cookies, packaged mushroom jerky, and a red velvet cupcake. I also got a package of Tomato Herb Fromage, Gruyere, and Colby Jack cheeses to take home. The cashier wrapped 2 of the refrigerated cheeses around a block of frozen cheese so that it would travel across the country well! I honestly don't know if I've ever had dairy Gruyere, but it was a unique flavor and my boyfriend and I both enjoyed it. We really enjoyed the Colby Jack cheese, too. The hardest part was trying to not eat it all in one sitting! This cheese is definitely expensive, but for how delicious it is, we will definitely be ordering more in the future!“

“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!!!! 😍😍“

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

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

“Great folks serving great food!“

“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.“

“I loved visiting Sunny’s backyard!
Great beer, amazing prices, delicious tacos by Praprika served in the back patio, a special event going on (I had no idea about but still enjoyed)
Would 1000% recommend, can’t wait to be back! 🫶🏽“

“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.“

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

“Good vegan food. Came out fast.“

“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!!“

“Great Food and awesome ambiance.“

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

“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.“

“Very nice mediterranean options, would recommend.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing is the only way to describe it.“

“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😉). 💗✨“

“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!“

“Highly recommended for top quality vegan food!! Thank god we have one in South Austin!!“

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

“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.“

“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!! 💜🤩“

“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!“

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

“Best coffee spot in town. Love stopping by for all my coffee and puppy treat needs!“

“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“

“everything in life will be muted and dull until I return to Olamaie it is exceptional to the point that I have lost sense of punctuation and capitalization truly“

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