Restaurants in Austin

“The food is amazing! Or let’s say everything here is amazing here in Freddo's! The coffee is high quality. I’ve been coming here since late 2022 and always try different things (pretty much everything on the menu by now) Great atmosphere and study/work place!It’s rare to see a café place with two-stories! This place used to be the Wells Fargo bank like 20 years ago lol and my dad was one of the managers here when it was a bank back in the 2000's!”

“I travel a lot for work and loved coming here whenever I was in town! The tree inside is beautiful and makes it a really unique atmosphere. Tara makes THE best espresso martinis, she’s so friendly and always made me feel welcomed. Had some less positive experiences with some of the other staff so I pretty much only came here for Tara. Didn’t see her last time I was in town, I really hope they didn’t lose her because she really made this place stand out from all the other options nearby!!!”

“Super easy and chill Tex-Mex spot with yummy and affordable margaritas. Note that there is almost always a wait unless you’re dining solo during lunch and happy to sit at the bar.”

“Clark's never disappoints. You can count on a variety of excellent food choices, all fresh and delicious. The hostesses and waitstaff are friendly and professional, and they know the menu to help you choose what's right for an enjoyable meal every time.”

“Perfect Match Kemuri Tatsu-Ya combines two of my favorite things in a match I absolutely loved Describing itself as both a Japanese izakaya and Texas smokehouse, Kemuri honors the flavors of Japan while bringing a distinctive Texas spin Items I loved included the brisket served with Tsukemen noodles, the smokehouse flavored bbq tuna collar with nori seaweed wraps as well as the chinmi "sake accompaniments" that you often see only at more authentic Japanese establishments As we enjoyed our sake and sampled a variety of delicious bites, it was very clear that Austin's diverse food scene has got game It's easy to be skeptical of any fusion restaurant but Kemuri is refreshingly creative with bold flavors, great portions and unique items Sweet and Sour Mozuku Shooter $4 / Taiyaki Cornbread $6.5 / Jellyfish $6 / Ankimo $13 / Beef Tartare $19 / Tsukune $7 / Beefy Shrooms $14 / BBQ Tsukemen with Brisket $15 / BBQ Eel $16 / Bento +$15 / Tuna Collar $35 / Tamago Pudding $6 Kemuri Tatsu-Ya (Austin, TX) Seating is both indoor and outdoor in the back patio. If outdoors, there are flies but they have fly fans. Reservations are recommended on Resy and credit cards including Apple Pay are accepted.”

“I came in with my brother and mother, we were immediately greeted with kindness by the staff. The three people helping us in particular were Alex, Milton and Chris. As someone who works in the restaurant industry I can say without a doubt their service was EXCEPTIONAL. They know exactly what it takes to make a guest’s experience fun and fulfilling. Thank you guys!!”

“We were blown away by this place! Service was outstanding, but the food was next level. We ordered the salad, shishito peppers and nuts for an appetizer and then came the smash burgers. Everything was so good! We finished our meal with the best carrot cake any of us have ever had. We’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!”

“Great little Speakeasy that was a real speakeasy during prohibition.Tucked under Moonshine, the vibe was great, bar tenders were fantastic.Reservation is best and check the details.”

“Hannah is the best server. She has been so kind, patient, and sweet each time I have visited. Kind enough to package my leftovers and give great suggestions. Everything food wise at 1618 has been incredible!”

“Went to visit my brother first time for myself and my mother the vibe was great. The waitress was nice just didn't like she kept taking things (plates) away without notification or asking if we were done with it I understand the place gets packed and need to move along the parties but my brother wasn't done with his marinara sauce and a few bites of his appetizer, and my son was still playing with the dough ball that was given to him to keep him busy, I still had a few bites of my pizza left when the waitress came by while we were talking and took it. But overall food was good.”

“Absolutely incredible dining experience! Went last night with the husband and the night from start to finish was amazing. The entire team was wonderful, from the extremely personable and friendly host for the night (I believe his name was Kavian) to all the chefs, staff and a great surprise was meeting Chef Ling herself!The courses were to die for and the portions were perfect. We can't wait to come back and share the experience with some friends!”

“I had to try this place & so glad i did.. not only was the baklava so good but the service was great too, they are very welcoming and warm.. makes you feel at ease & made me feel like this is a place i will be returning every chance and/or everytime i get to go to ”

“The BEST coffee in Austin. This is the only coffee I drive across town for, and I think my subconscious literally knows to wake up early on Saturday just to get her when they open. Brown sugar miso latte and choco cloud are out of this world. The team here is so friendly and the line moves quickly so don’t be intimidated.”

“Wonderful, 2 bite street tacos. get a bunch to try if you want to fill up. My favorites were the carnitas and suadero. Nice outdoor seating area with other food trucks to try from ”

“Favorite (non-BBQ) place we ate at while in ATX! So good we ate there twice during our stay. Loved the Happy Hour snacks and the fresh and complex flavors of each dish we tried. A must stop when you visit Austin!!”

“Had the pasta with some rosé and the blueberry cornbread for dessert. Wonderful veg comfort food after a long day, great outdoor space, wonderful service. They let me put up flyers too. I love their fair employment policy, will definitely be back!”

“It’s almost comical how perfect of a pizza place this is. Great food and the vibe is great, the employees seem to be having a good time. I wish they would just enable ANY kind of online ordering but it’s their business I guess.”

“Extraordinary date or celebration restaurant. You can be as brave and exploratory as you want or cautious with experimenting and it is all GREAT!!! Great spot to also take Non-Texans!”

“What a lovely spot in downtown in Austin! They have a fantastic and thoughtful cocktail menu and fantastic spirit selection. I enjoyed a pour of local Texas Whiskey Milam & Greene ?”

“Haven't been here in a few years and the neighborhood has changed. Lots of high-rise skyscrapers surround this great beer garden. Food was still wonderful, beer selection was huge, and outdoor seating always reminds you of Old Austin. Ride a bike or Uber here. There is no parking.”

“Perfectly prepared Seafood, comfortable but elegant ambiance, and a great location. A nice high end but low-key spot right near the iconic Austin music spot, Antone’s.The kind crab was perfectly cooked. The braised greens had the subtlest kiss of Serrano pepper. It is seafood with a whisper of the south. The chef is James Beard award winning MASHAMA BAILEY​ of Savanah, so that makes a lot of sense.The vibe was relaxed but high-end.They bill this as a southern spot. I think it is more a seafood place with a whisper of the South (not to be confused with “Texan cuisine” a cousin but something entirely its own thing.)The restroom is hard to find - it is in the hotel lobby but they do not have good signage. It is buried in the back of a second elevator bank area. They have a neon sign in a different spot announcing that it is NOT the restroom - but nothing of its equal to show you where you should go / where it is.They set up shop diagonally across from Eddie V’s (seafood and chop house) which has been there for decades.Vegetarian options: This was the one area of real opportunity: there were very few options for a vegetarian / vegansDietary restrictions: Greedy for keto and gluten allergy folks!Parking: No garage. No street parking $15 for first 3 hours of valet.Kid-friendliness: Not a kid spot.Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair accessible throughout”

“Whew, pricey, but excellent upscale mediterranean. Terrific waitstaff, beautiful dining area. Parking is problematic, but not too difficult. Had the chicken kebabs and lamb/beef kafta. Well cooked and presented -- the lemon/onion beautified basmati was excellent. The sticky date cake is killer good!”

“AMAZING and DELICIOUS... can't wait to go back. It's loud inside, so if looking for a quiet night... just try and ignore the exciting energy... got our friend to like sushi here”

“Wow! Another great spot in this part of Austin. Great beer, great food, beautiful art, and fun times ?Our group tried almost every beer and everyone enjoyed what they had. I tried the Hazy IPA and the Rice Lager and enjoyed them both. I did try a Jello Shot with the group but yuck, not for me!! HahaFood-wise, so many options. And they have food inside and some food trucks outside. Hard to go wrong.I also really enjoy that they show local artists paintings that are for sale. Fun to walk around and look at the various artwork. Didn’t buy anything yet but maybe someday!Overall, if you choose to visit, I think you’ll find something you enjoy. Have fun!!”

“It is always a pleasure to experience the unique and delicate flavors that Chef Jay creates, which are brought to life by the incredible staff. You won't taste anything like the dry aged fish anywhere else. Lucky Robot is an absolute must-dine-at for anybody visiting Austin or resident that hasn't yet added this restaurant to their repertoire of local spots with an atmosphere that is perfect for any occasion.”

“The food is really good and the staff seem happy and nice and knowledgeable. Had the $16 biscuit sandwich and it was great. Could complain, I guess, about the price to portion size ratio but I guess that’s how it is everywhere these days.”

“Our server is literally an angel. He is so attentive, so nice, and been so great. The fgood is amazing. I drive here all the way from Hutto for this food. It's a 25 mile drive.”

“Reservation in downtown Austin, wedding anniversary. We were pleasantly surprised at the table with a card & rose petals scattered around it. All staff were very professional but especially our waiter CHARLIE! Food was impressive. Ambiance was classic steakhouse. Wait staff were well trained. Five stars.”

“I can't say enough GREAT things about The Peacock - I truly love this place and visit often. I normally just come for breakfast and get an almond croissant - mainly because I wake up from having dreams about it lol!! Also, shoutout to Kim and Shae!! They are great at what they do, amazing humans inside and out!!”

“This was the absolute best steak dinner I have ever had! They have a special oven from Europe that cooks everything to perfection. I plan to drive down from DFW just to eat here!”

“I’ve been sitting on this review for a while. I’m definitely not one to tarnish any 5 star ratings!! My experience was mixed. In part by the fact that I’ve spent countless moments at midnight trying to get reservations with no luck. When I finally snagged my first res, I was shocked to be sitting next to a guy that had been multiple times (even in the past week). Most of the others also had the good fortune to be “frequent patrons”. There was one other person who said she’d been trying to grab a reservation for a while. TBH, really didn’t sit right with me.As we all know, these reviews are opinion based only. I can only give my honest assessment of my experience.The vibe seemed catered to a younger crowd for sure. I definitely felt out of place. The “F” word was used quite liberally by the staff. No big deal, just kind of off pudding when you’re paying so much. Again, I realize this may not be a popular opinion. Unfortunately we also got on the topic of church camp and “those types” which stung quite a bit since I have a strong faith base. Not really the fault of the staff but she was very much in agreement to the conversation. I am not suggesting that the chef participated in any of these convos because he didn’t.Yes, the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. I got the extra cocktail menu where we get a fun drink paired with some of the courses and also participated in the extra course which was way too fishy and slimy for me. All in all, my bill was slightly over $400. Since I just didn’t have the best experience, needless to say, it was too expensive for me.My biggest suggestion would be to not go solo.Parking: Very difficult to find.”

“A Tropical Escape in the Heart of the City If you're craving an escape from the ordinary, Tiki Tatsuya is the place to be. From the moment you step through the door and walk down the stairs, you're transported to another world, surrounded by jungle like decor and exotic vibes. Reservations are a must, so heads up here! Also parking is very limited, we had to do street parking and walked 5 min to the place. No big deal. Now, let's talk about the real stars of the show: the drinks. Each one is a masterpiece of creativity, and depending on your choice, you might just get a full-blown performance alongside your cocktail. While these concoctions are on the pricier side, the experience they provide is truly unforgettable. I ordered the Strip 'n go Naked $15 and it came with no performance - just to give you an idea on the pricing! I loved my drink, so delicious - tropical and sweet. Would've probably ordered a second one but glad I didn't because the food wasn't as filling. The food is decent but limited in options. If you're famished, you might find yourself spending more than you anticipated. There were 6 of us and we ordered a "Pu Pu Platter" to share and it felt like an appetizer, when it was advertised as an entree. It's a lot for one person, perfect for two, beyond that I'd consider adding another platter but then again, $$$. So because we were still hungry my husband and I placed an order of a Kalua Pork and Taro Tots and it that was better for just the both of us. We loved the Taro Tots but the portion was very small. The Kalua Pork was decent - you basically made yourself pork shoulder lettuce wraps This place is definitely more about the drinks than the dining experience. With only one cocktail each, splitting up the platter and the extra items we had, plus tip and all, we spent $125..and we weren't full full and we could've eaten and drank more. In summary, Tiki Tatsuya is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and immersive drinking experience. Just don't expect to fill up on the food alone.”

“The honey badger drink was good. I like the decor to the place. It is a bit south off riverside. They have a cool vibe and the blend is nice. The staff were nice too. Kinda hard to find parking and dont park in the Dq parking lot.”

“This is a great coffee shop for studying, catching up with friends, or relaxing. They have a big selection of teas and coffees. The service is fast and polite, and the treats are delicious.”

“My go to coffee shop! Great atmosphere, and not a bad location. Parking is limited but I don't care too much because I mostly ride a motorcycle. The coffee isn't the best, but it's not terrible in any way at all. More important, the Baristas that give great recommendations and make each beverage with love.-They do require a purchase to access the wifi but I mean it's a business. The cheapest drink is the rainwater I think. Maybe a drip coffee.Also, they're open 24/7 WHICH IS HUGE. The only late night study spot in Austin and this makes them really stand out.Great spot easy 5 stars.”

“10/10 staff was wonderful and friendly! Food was delicious and management was super kind! Kuddos to Thalia, I’ve never seen anyone work as hard as her. Thank you for making sure our food was ready at our table in no time!”

“Tropicana is a fun place to relax and enjoy the games abit on the grimy side but the folks are nice and it’s pretty chill plus you can smoke inside a plus for me!”

“Great place to work for a few hours or longer. That’s kind of why everyone is there, so the atmosphere is right. You get a wifi password with purchase that lasts I think 3 hours from when you start using it. Staff were super friendly too :)”

“Walked in it was a bit messy kinda scary messy. It was only two people working there that day so the one guy he was on the grill he was cooking. He was doing his thing. The music was live. It was nice. I enjoyed all the music. The food was alright, my soda had an oil film so I changed to a TO GO cup, my hashbrowns were over fried a little hard, my waffle wasn’t fried crispy enough for my liking, and toast was not toasting enough. Overall, I will be back due to the music. Give it another chance maybe it was an off day. Also the waiter he was cool. They need a person everyday that enjoys keeping the restaurant clean. I say this at my place of employment all the time you need to have 1 day a month close down have a thorough cleaning and then another day of close down for all your employees to get proper training and in sanitation. Waffle House has been around forever so we need to always keep this historic place running smoothly and professionally, and I believe by changing a few things around will allow this company to stay in the rotation of moving forward into the future future also if you treat your employees correctly and fairly giving them the proper PAY Will always keep employees.Vegetarian options: I say get in touch with the corporate office to see about them changing some things on the menu that will be held friendly as well for those that like waffles so that way you can have the best of both worlds without feeling not includedDietary restrictions: It will be nice if they would incorporate impossible breakfast sausage for those that don’t eat meat. I am a person that is on the journey of no meat eating, but it is what it is. If you want a waffle, you will intake the things that is offered there you don’t have to eat meat.Wheelchair accessibility: To come in, you can go straight through the door maybe if they add one of those buttons for the door to open automatically that will also help the restroom had easy access way for you to go in and out to use the restroom”

“Experienced the best ever service !! Made my day….arrived 6am and certain circumstances prompted me to hang around to 8:45a. Placed order, ate, and after couple of rounds of coffee had never been so glad to have had breakfast here being served by the most gracious and hospitable Norberto Gonzalez and not just me! I was seated in a booth close to register and witnessed every single/party walking in and being served with such sincere hospitality as Norberto displayed. Lived long enough to still be able to see genuine and excellent customer service- even if it’s something you don’t see in the food industry too often these days - pay Denny’s on Ben White in Austin a visit and see for yourself if you’re lucky to be served by Norberto “G.O.A.T.” !!”

“My friend and I were both quite surprised about how they added more items on the menu since the last time we came here. I wanted the lasagna but they didn’t have it so I opted for the bourbon bacon cheeseburger instead and my friend ordered the bacon avocado cheeseburger, and she said it was delicious.We also noticed the cheap plastic partition out and it made the entire dining experience much more pleasant and enjoyable.In terms of the staff, they have always been professional and attentive.”

“This Food truck venue is a really cool spot to stop and try a variety of different cusines. The wife and I loved the pad cha (thai), bacon wrapped hotdogs, and empanadas were all delicious.”

“Great food truck for the price. I got the Hawaiian burger meal and two churros. Burger is solid, fries are okay, churros are great. In a bad neighborhood corner so be careful at night, cash only hablas Espanol y Poco Inglés but you can get by.”

“Four stars only becuase this one keeps breaking down! There are a couple machines in the Austin Airport and usually at least one is working if the other is down.I like this robot machine becuase it doesn't usually have a huge line. The Austin airport used to have local only businesses, and we liked that. 15 years after starting here, they have become money hungry and theres multiple Star*ucks instead. I used to be happy to direct visitors to the Fara Cafe (now a wheelchair seating area. The owner of Fara is a great guy.) or Austin Java instead.Anyways, Costa Coffe is good. It is a novelty, kind of, to see a machine making your drink through a window, and having the robot arm whizz it back and forth, but I like it.I usually get a hot Mocha, but I was happy to find a Milk drink (no caffeine) for when I need a late night treat. The costs is similar to most other coffee shops. It remembers your settings when you swipe your card so you don't have to enter your name and pin that releases the drink from the automated door.I have tried the Caramel Machiatto and a regular coffee as well. The system lets you adjust all the items in the drink (sweetener, flavoring, milk type etc) as long as its stocked.Walking past the 20+ deep line at the other places while already holding my Mocha is just a bonus to me, as the coffee is just as good.”

“We go to waffle House every single time we go to Austin! I love waffle House they have great food and great service and great people thank you!Parking: If they are busy it is somewhat difficult to park.”

“Ok ok ok…so I was hesitant about coming here but…if you are looking for your traditional street taco…not your place…BUT…the tacos non the less were amazing…try the chicken tinga and the pork belly…they were soooo good and accompanied by their green salsa was just great. Will definitely come back when visiting Austin!”

“Excellent service from the drive thru by Kevin.Kevin makes the difference in between this Jack in the Box located on north Lamar and Fairfield St.Kind. Attentive. Professional and well knowledge about the Manu.The tacos were fresh, crisp, and very tasty,It's so bad that all the Jack in the Box locations don't have more guys like Kevin.Excellent customer service from him.Location: North Lamar and Fairfield St.Parking: plenty free parking lot.Food: so good. Fresh and chispy.Customer service: EXCELLENT.Highly recommend.”

“My family and I came in around 1 pm and we waited a little bit more than an hour. But let me tell you, omg best bbq I’ve had. The brisket was so moist!!! The ribs was falling off the bone and the turkey was not dry. The sides are good, wished they had more options. The sausages were flavorful. The staff were so nice and let us sample some food while ordering because it was our first time. Forgot to order some pies to try but will definitely be back in the future.”

“Took a client here for lunch while in town. Sooooo good! We ordered various burgers and burritos. Loved that we could sit outside and enjoy the Austin spring weather.”

“I had the jalapeno cheddar sausage and the spinach feta. These were one of the most delicious things I've had in Austin. They were packed full and very good size for the price. Warm and fresh ingredients flavorful dough. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend!”

“The gelato is so delicious and it’s all homemade! And each time I’ve gone they’ve had a new flavor. The vibe is so cozy and cute and the staff are so nice and welcoming!”

“Terry Black's is a must when visiting Austin! Don't be overwhelmed by the long lines, it moves very quickly and is set up cafeteria style which is brilliant for a restaurant that is in such high demand. The brisket was my favorite part of the meal, it's so juicy and tender. I also tried the ribs and they were great. The red labeled sauce was my favorite as well, I regret not buying a bottle to take home with me. I loved the Mac and cheese as well, but my Austin resident friends agreed the green beans were having an off day. They were a bit crunchy and not very flavorful. I know how good they usually are so I won't hold it against them. Can't wait to go back!”

“10/10 experience from an unsuspecting location! Amir (owner) is the kindest person, takes real pride in his work, and serves the most delicious food! I am vegetarian and get the falafel garden plate and every vegetable is cooked to perfection plus the falafel is perfection. Also, the portion sizes are huge!!”

“I've always had a great experience coming here. Today I stopped by desperately to get coffee and a quick bite, as my salon across the street doesn't have food choices.The gentleman this morning, made my day by gifting a vegan coffee cake for my morning. Thank you.”

“The BEST bbq we have had on our holiday in Austin. The food is amazing and the service was even better! Shane the manager is so friendly and I definitely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Austin. Love this place!”

“Our first visit but won’t be our last!After a LOT of research we made our way to Interstellar on Sunday. We had read that queues can be long and that sometimes when you get to the front items have run out, so we decided to do the waiting earlier in the day to ensure we were sorted.We arrived at 9am and were first in the line so were able to have some great chats with the staff (in particular how they had weathered the storm the previous night ensuring all smokers were tended to so that we could eat today!).It did not take long for others to arrive and by 11am the queue was LONG and the anticipation was building! Once the doors were opened (by John Bates, no less!), we ordered Half a pound of Brisket, Peach Tea Glazed Pork Belly, Half a pound of Pulled Lamb Shoulder, Smoked Scalloped Potatoes, Mac & Cheese, Jalapeno Slaw, Banana Pudding and Mexican Chocolate Rice Pudding.From the first bite we knew why this restaurant is currently Texas Monthly’s #2 for the state - it truly is next level!The brisket is amazing and the pork belly bites well, let’s just say I will still be talking about those for some time - they were that memorable!! And the sides and deserts were also in a class of their own. In particular, the potatoes are not what you’d expect at a standard barbecue joint, they were creamy and seriously so delicious and the Banana Pudding - I just wished we’d ordered two so I had even more to take home!Whilst we were eating we were visited by the man himself, John Bates, and he genuinely was interested in how we liked our meal and also discussed our travels. I thought it was a nice touch that he said hi to all his customers and took time out of his day to do so.With very full bellies and our leftovers packed up, we left having absolutely no doubt that we will return one day - although I expect the lines will be even longer next time!”

“Best coleslaw I've ever had and partner said best bbq in ATX so far. Coleslaw, pork shoulder, and brisket were amazing, potato salad and mac n cheese were good not noteworthy though”

“Some of the most chill people. Great food, atmosphere, and service. Eat from them at about 1 every week. They even gave me free funnel cake fries for always eating their food. Please come here”

“Not a fan of the crab cake Benedict only because they don't have English muffins. It was good, just no muffin. The bacon was amazing and be sure to get the roasted salsa to go!”

“I'm Haitian/Cuban Brooklynite and I've been looking for a place in Austin that will help with my Caribbean cravings for aLOOOOOOOOONG 6 years and WOW this place was definitely worth that wait. The flavors are layered, the meat is juicy and succulent the sauce is spectacular. The plantains and fries are fresh and crispy. You can tell that they care about the quality of their food. Now let's talk about presentation, just because they are food truck doesn't mean that they skimp on the visuals. I'm highly impressed and will definitely be back. So so so happy I found this gem ?”

“My husband and I placed a pick up order for some breakfast tacos and not only were they crazy efficient (ready in 15 minutes), they were also so nice, and everything was packaged very nicely. My only complaint is that they forgot chips for our salsa and queso. Food: The bean and cheese taco was my favorite by far. I know it's simple but it's a classic for a reason and they've perfected it. The salsa was also amazing. You can tell it's fresh. Parking: Small parking lot and street parking nearby.”

“Honestly wonderful, very tasty. I came because every weekend, the place is packed with Indian and South Asian folks. I've had a little Indian food before, but I'm out of my depth past samosas and chicken tikka masala. Sumit was very friendly and helpful in guiding me to a really terrific dinner! I especially loved the Gobi Manchurian.”

“I like it when the menu is simple, contains a few things, and it is done quickly and well. Sitting outside is the only down side, but the burgers are delicious. Although this place is a few years older than Whataburger, it has that same Texas-style burger vibe. The kids love the hotdogs and soft serve ice cream.”

“Definitely get the double patty. The burgers aren’t huge but the price is fair. The fries are just okay and remind me of Jack in the box curly fries. The burger was cohesive with tender buns and true premium beef quality. They definitely create burgers for repeat customers. The Mexican vanilla shake tasted like horchata. This is a good thing.”

“Always start my weekday mornings off with a Ranch Hand on Flour. Very Delicious. Judy always greets me with a warm welcome and makes sure I am well taken care of. 10 out of 10!”

“I'm always on the hunt for some good chaat especially on the days I miss Mumbai. This place definitely hit the spot and I was glad that everything I ordered turned out good. The dahi in the dahi vada was delicious, perfectly sweet and savory however I wish the vada was spongier rather than so dense. The cheese vada pav barely had any cheese and I wish the authentic pav was used, nonetheless the vada itself was perfect! Crispy and not too spicy. The bhel puri was full of flavor, crunch and different textures. It feels kind of obscene to pay these prices for street food though and wish they could offer half portions for more affordable prices maybe? Service is fast though we did go at a random time of day and there are two benches nearby to sit at.”

“Excellent food & crafted cocktails, friendly service. The Gulf shrimp with red rice was a stand out & biscuits are legendary for a reason. Only area that could be improved - below average wine list and lack of variety of wine by the glass options.”

“Donna was the best waitress! We came here for my boyfriend's birthday. It was my first time here. I loved everything about Eddie V's. I was having a hard time deciding what I wanted to order and Donna was great help. The food was delicious and came out very fast. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were very friendly. The view was beautiful. Will definitely be dining in again. Donna took care of us and accommodated all of our requests.”

“Definitely a place where you want to take advantage of a beautiful day. Sitting indoors is extremely limited but cute. Food is fantastic lemonade & all smoothies are made with fresh fruit. Drinks are also super tasty ??”

“Had the lemon poppy seed loaf. So dense but flavor was good. My drink was delicious. Friend said her coffee was one of the best she had. I LOVE the building, their brand & logo is modern but luxurious.”

“We had to call an audible and have our rehearsal dinner here. It was 10/10. Had 50 people show up throughout the evening, everyone had a great time. ABW always comes through - staff is 10/10 and beer is 10/10.”

“Really nice space. I was interested to see a converted sonic so I stopped by. Their food is great too. My favorite is their tacos.Vegetarian options: Great falafel and veggie optionsWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramps on all sides”

“First time at in and out and it met all expectations. The burgers were great, the sauce was great. I like how there were actual veggies in the burger! The fries are subpar and still I ate I all lol.”

“Can never go wrong with In n Out always good...... Way better than that garbage Whataburger... I went there as well and was dissapointed with Whataburgers food..”

“We came on the night they had a car show. Alot of old cars that were in town. People here are very nice, and the strawberry shake is the bomb. Chicken tenders were fresh and have very good taste. A plus for it all being fresh. .”

“I don't understand the low rating here... Fresa's is awesome! Beautiful outdoor patio dining, it's a great place to come with a group and order large plates for sharing. We got all 4 of the big wood grilled meals, two different kinds of chicken, skirt steak, and shrimp. Also, these may be the best corn chips I've ever had anywhere on the planet. I don't know how they make them but they're awesome. Finish it off with churros and some coffee toffee crunch ice cream, you can't go wrong!”

“In n out is the best “fast food”Hamburger around. No frills and just a good fresh burger.Get the fries well done and they come out crispier. Their spread is great especially with the fries and the free peppers are awesome!A great late night option as they stay open very late! Sometimes there is a line but worth the wait!”

“We keep trying to find the best steakhouses in Austin and Deans is always solid. Lawrence took care of us big time. Drinks were on point and the food was unique, well prepared and tasted incredible. We’ll be back!”

“Amazing experience overall, lip smacking food. The service was exceptional, well explained and catered to all our needs. They kindly let us stay 2 hours after closing and entertained us without hesitation until we finished. Will highly recommend, celebrated my birthday here and absolutely loved their attention to detail and warm and friendly staff!Vegetarian options: They had a tasty and fun vegetarian selection, will highly recommend!”

“Great vibes! The decor is very nice and welcoming. The drinks were the highlight of the dinner and the cocktails were top notch. We did the tasting menu and it was a mixed bag. The biscuits/English muffins were definitely the best thing to get. We were not told that a shrimp dish still had a tail on it and it was hidden by tempura so that was a little surprising. The deserts were too much, and left us uncomfortably full.”

“Experience was great! Service attention to detail was top notch and really sets the place apart. The food was great with the exception of a couple dishes which were ok. Chef Dan is fairly new and still changing menu to his style and the few dishes he's implemented were great. Would recommend as a fun experience and great date night spot.”

“Amazing hospitality!! We came to celebrate our anniversary. The tasting menu was delicious and every bite was better than the last. Wine pairing was great but a little pricey with the food”

“We celebrated an anniversary at Jeffrey's. This was our first visit there, and we are anxious to return. We enjoyed the crab beignets, pasta appetizer, halibut, New York strip & baked Alaska. Every dish was unique and delicious. The service and atmosphere were wonderful as well. The meal was a little pricey, but special. Planning a return reservation soon.”

“This is an EXPERIENCE and your tastebuds will WEEP. A spot you cannot pass up. Money is well worth the night you will have here.Two things to start off with:1) Pay the extra for the add-ons and the booze accompaniments if you can stomach it. I am a tiny woman so I did not add in the alcohol but added a wine for my meal and added one "add-on" to a dish. If you are paying a large amount of money for food - might as well go all the way. It's times like these I curse myself for having a small stomach.2) Book in advance and when you book our chefs said if you book the LAST seating they are sometimes able to give extra bites for an additional cost (again - if you have a big appetite this is a no brainer!)Let's start off with the location. Our Uber dropped us off and the driver along with myself and my husband had no idea where to go LOL. Who would've thought it'd be in a home! Super cute and once inside it is a really cool dining experience. You approach the hostess who asks if you'd like to add-on to your sushi pieces - we added black truffle to one and then presented us with a complimentary cocktail a grapefruit and rosemary spritz which was actually delicious which was surprising to me as I am not a grapefruit girl! She then had us wait in the lounge area for the rest of our dining group!Once inside the room I would compare it to a Michelin dining experience as you are treated with the utmost respect, the restaurant is spotless and these sushi chefs know what they are doing. The care put into their work is mesmerizing. It is actually BETTER than Michelin dining because it's laid back and full of laughs and conversation. It was a two hour meal of fun! We got to know the chefs and the other diners. The time flew by!This meal was 17 courses and we found that there were only 2 we weren't HUGE on. Majority of the bites were a 90% wow and there were I think 5 that were 100% popping eyes out of sockets WOWZA's. The fish are shipped in from parts of Japan, Indonesia and New Zealand to name a few. Everything was so fresh and vivid. I just find omakase to be an out of body experience. The different textures, flavours and the knowledge these chefs have to plate items together to perfect flavour combinations is mind blowing.I won't describe EVERY bite because this review is already quite lengthy - HOWEVER; I would love to write about the showstoppers. The Shima Aji (striped jack), the Chu toro (medium fatty tuna), the Japanese Mackerel, the OTORO (Fatty tuna), the A5 wagyu and the unagi which was the last bite with bone marrow and I am sorry - it was one of the best things I had ever tasted. Our chef said it is kind of a cheat code because it's fat on fat but oh my days was it ever HEAVEN ON EARTH. Not only were these bites OUT OF THIS WORLD but this wasn't the end - there was a green tea with ginger sauce and it was the best tea I had ever had. Even more promising was the fact my husband, who HATES tea (weirdo, I know) said the tea was outstanding. Please tell us how to make this tea or where to buy it! It is life changing! It was a great palate cleanser and great digestive aid after all of those bites. Lastly, we were surprised with a dessert. I have never gotten a dessert in my two other omakase experiences and it was honestly just unlike any dessert I had ever taken. This was a Michelin dessert through and through. It was a black sesame seed ice cream with meringue and a lemon curd and it had some seeds or something. I don't even know. I think I went deaf when they were explaining the items to me because I just was in my own Lala land of mouth pleasure!The only bites we didn't care for were the everything bagel bite - this felt too Americanized for us and totally overtook the fish flavour at the end. We also felt the sea bream was a bit bland. But 2 dishes out of 17 with a dessert and phenomenal tea are not going to stop us from coming back again! Please treat yourself. It is something every sushi fan MUST try.”

“I had dental surgery earlier that day and my mouth was in pain but I just kept eating. That's how good the food was. The server was awesome and wanted to make sure we were taken care of which isn't always the case at other places. The restaurant is beautiful and just what you would expect for an Austin Downtown Top Notch Steakhouse.”

“Came here to say with colleagues to celebrate a birthday while on a work trip. Incredible service from all the staff but in particular our waiter. Great recommendations on menu items and wine pairings. Be prepared that they ask you order all food at once and then they close it out for you. The wood fired flavor on the food from their special oven was extra noticeable and added to the ambiance. 10/10 recommend if in downtown Austin.”

“Phenomenal service! It was such an amazing experience. This is my favorite omakase by far. The sushi was crafted with such care and attention. The rice was so so good! The combination of techniques and flavors really made the whole service so special.This place should be on everyone’s shortlist for Austin!”

“First off, I want to say that Apt 115 is a super interesting concept, the staff is very friendly, and the service is top tier. Easily 10/10 service. It also wasn't incredibly expensive for fine dining ($90 after tax and tip). Apt 115 is hosted within a cozy, 1x1 apartment building, where the apartment kitchen is the kitchen they use. There's no backdoor kitchen or anything. There's one chef and he makes everything using everyday cooking appliances like hotplates and microwaves. The theme that day was grapefruit, and almost everything, including the bathroom soap (which smelled really really good) had a hint of grapefruit. We started off with oysters, which were super creamy and very smooth. No fishy flavor at all. Next, we had fatty yellowfin tuna covered in some homemade sauce that made it explode with flavor. There were some crunchy onion crisps on top that added to the texture. Probably one of the best dishes I've had, period. We then had shrimp and some cocktail sauce, which was okay but not anything crazy. Afterwards, we had a duck leg, which was flavorful but a bit tough--I wonder if it could've been steamed for longer. Once we had finished, our server brought out a basket full of bread and a cutting board with three different cheeses on top. Now, I'm not really a cheese person, but these cheeses were so good. The strawberry jam that came with it was practically heaven in a dish. I would've paid for just the jam. The last dish was a grapefruit brûlée. It had a crispy, thin layer of melted sugar coating the top. Underneath was the sweet and citrusy fruitiness of the grapefruit. Very well done. I should note the flowers and most of the decorations were edible and actually tasted pretty interesting. I wish the shrimp and the duck leg were a bit better, and that there were larger portions (I had to eat another meal afterwards to feel full), but overall I'm satisfied with what Apt 115 had to offer. I would definitely recommend this place to someone else, but would know that you probably won't be full after your meal. A very very high 4 stars from me.”

“Really lovely small exotic portions. Red eye tuna sashimi and Australian wagyu, and soft-shell crab were standouts. Comp valet was very convenient. A lively atmospheric restaurant. WE would definitely go to Ichiko again.”

“Best steak dinner I can remember having. I had the Wagyu strip from Japan, 6oz, medium rare. Perfection. The chicken fried lobster app was delicious too. My husband had the American wagyu strip and bone marrow side and loved his although agreed mine was another level of delicious.”

“Like their sister restaurants Uchibā lives up to all hype and expectations. The highlights of our meal were the tiger cry bao, hama chili, and bluefin otoro. We ended on their divine chocolate crémeux dessert. I always appreciate how helpful the wait staff is at these restaurants in guiding you through the menu and recommending unique dishes. We will certainly be back for more!”

“Service was great. Ambiance warm and cozy. The food was amazing. Fantastic vegetarian options. The sourdough bread is incredible. Super fluffy and crunchy...hard to describe. Just get it.”

“So glad we found this place! We were next door getting our car washed and the owner of the car wash recommended we go across the street to get a drink while we waited. The vibe in this pace was so cool. A friend that was with us said that the place felt like something from a movie scene. The bartender was very nice. I had the frozen Irish coffee. It was SO good!! I love souvenirs and the was excited to keep my cup. We will definitely be stopping there next time we are in Austin!”

“Ended up in Austin for a night and looked for a local place to get some grub, and we found Crown & Anchor Pub. I can't even express how pleased I am with our experience, it was busy all night but never overcrowded, the staff was quick, on top of it, and the most friendly humans I've ran into in the service industry in years. The food came out fast and hot and delicious. Big John was very friendly and definitely made an impression on this group from Portland OR.Vegetarian options: They had veggie burger and veggie dog options, as well as grilled cheese, the ability to omit toppings on things like the nachos. I got a veggie burger, and it was really good!”

“Moved to Austin recently and was looking for an authentic Jamaican spot. After finding this place, I don't think I will have to look any further! The bone-in jerk chicken with the rice & beans was packed with flavor and made with love. The plantains are the best i've ever tried, and the beef patty was amazing also. This place will leave you feeling satisfied and happy!”

“A place to find a delicious chicken sandwich—but it’s on a biscuit, so what’s not to love? The fries were also good, so what’s not to love?Well, it’s the small swarm of bees that show up the minute you open the spicy honey dip. Eat at your own risk.”

“Excellent craft cocktails! You know it's a serious bar when they have a shelf of fresh squeezed juices. An awesome mixologist (Patrick) behind the bar helps too!”

“Pretty good food. I enjoyed the chilaquiles, it's a lot of food but the flavors get lost a bit in bowl form. Next time I'll try the tacos.The Pink horchata is absolutely amazing.”

“Our neighbors in Oak Hill recommended this place to try, and I'm so glad we did! The nicest people serving the best ice cream (mine with espresso poured on top) and the most lovely setting, can't wait to go again!”

“Greeted with a peace sign, I got to have another great experience at Paprika ATX. I love the new rebranded menu and wow this place is doing mad business! There were at least 10 people here when I pulled up at 12:20pm. I'm so happy for this couple. Glad they can remember this face of mine. They have a large agua fresca size now so grab one, sit in your car with your windows down and grab you some damn good tacos.”

“This is what it's all about. I'd love to comment on the cocktail menu, but its been hard for me to stray from cold bottles of high life and shots here. It just feels so fitting in a spot like this and something about drinking a cocktail underneath lamps that look like they're made from human skin just doesn't feel right...yet. Fiercely independent in its decor and general atmosphere, this might not be a stop for bachelorette parties, but it's absolutely a stop for me. The thing about Mama Dearest is that it isn't out to please everyone, it's out to please the weird little freaks out there and I respect that so much. In a world of bars desperately competing to be spliced into a viral TikTok video, Mama Dearest simply wants you to admire their bad taxidermy and drink. We need more of that.Shout out to Jake and the rest of the bar staff for being so welcoming and genuinely fun to talk to. Please don't judge us (too hard) for slamming a shot of malort before leaving.”

“Glad to know I can request everything not spicy including the Mac and the fries!That being said huge portions, great price, outstanding flavor! Love the rustic country vibes.”

“Quality meat. Quality Service. Quality Sauce. Austin and Texas are no strangers to making some mean BBQ, and JNL is now one of my faves. My friends and I ordered the ribs (Al pastor style), brisket and turkey. Everything was smoked to perfection and the sauce helped the meal come all together. I wish I would've ordered more of the ribs because they were phenomenal! Don't skip on this item when you're here- the seasoning is delicious!”

“Cute, chill hideaway ice cream store with unique ice cream flavors. I typically avoid dairy so it was a nice surprise that most or all of their ice cream was made from coconut milk. Will be back!Dietary restrictions: All the ice cream I saw was made from coconut milk, so non-dairy friendly”

“Excellent fish tacos. You have to wait a few minutes because everything is made fresh, worth the wait. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere and will be going back the next time I'm in Austin Texas.”

“Pizza ?- beer ?- soft serve ?My favorite pizza spot in Austin! The atmosphere is amazing. I got SPICY MARGH and Sweet sausage, SO GOOD. Spicy Margh is real spicy and better than I expected! Soft serve topped with olive oil and salt is a must too! Can’t wait to come back!”

“We ran over to Leroy and Lewis at 11am after Franklins sold out before even opening. The line was out the door, but just barely. Within 15 minutes, it was wrapping around the corner! Someone frequently came down the line with menus, water, and to take drink orders. By 12:30, we had our food and easily snatched a table outside.They only have brisket on Saturdays so we got the sliced beef (+ extra) and beef barbacoa (Sunday special) with the Kale Caesar Slaw and pork hash and rice. The pork was not what I was expecting and not my style, but my husband enjoyed it. The slaw was very good! We loved the sliced beef - it's one cut below brisket so it doesn't fall apart, but is still super tender. The barbacoa was good, but we wouldn't order it again.We also got the L&L burger and it was fabulous with an amazing pepper crust.Probably my favorite part about this place (aside from the wonderful service) is that they source their meats locally ❤️”

“I wanted to give a shout out to Connor for his service today. My drinks were accidentally taken by a customer and he remade the drinks while chatting with me. I truly appreciate kind service and quality. I’ve been coming to this Starbucks for awhile now and they do an excellent job. I know it can be tough to deal with customer service, but Connor did an amazing job. I will be back. Thank you guys!”

“Drive thru line was so long 2 lanes deep but went surprisingly fast and food was perfect. Something about this location is that they have the best coke in south Austin.”

“Nice and crispy chicken and those signature honey biscuits. Solid service and decent prices. Dinner for 2 was only $17.50. Be sure to check for online coupons. See you next time Churcheeeees. Orale!”

“Honestly my favorite food truck in the 6th street area. I was one of the first customers since opening and since then the food and service has been phenomenal! My favorite on the menu is the 6 piece wings with hot and barbecue sauce!”

“Steaks were melt in your mouth amazing! Some of the best service I have ever had anywhere. Wine list and bourbon selection rivals any place in the country! We cannot wait to return.”

“Neat little place serving halal lamb. The owner assured us he personally bought the lamb from A halal grocery store. Other than that, there were plenty of seafood items to choose from which were all delicious. Glad to have visited and love helping out local business owners whenever I can.”

“Fun atmosphere. Sexy girls. Waitress Autumn always goes out of her way to make me feel welcomed and special. When I had an issue at the club management handled it efficiently and discreetly. Definitely one of my favorite places to spend my money at!!”

“OMG I am a restaurant Connosseur by hobby and this food is sooo good. The breakfast tacos are fresh made and it doesn't matter which one they are always delicious. I was sick this weekend and I went to try their menudo and it was some of the best I have ever had. It could have used a bit more hominy for my personal taste, but the meat was tender, soup just the right amount of oregano and they put pig feet which is another delight. It will cure a hangover and it's working pretty well for my allergies and cold. I gave the atmosphere a three just because its Rundberg (but don't leave I live in the HOOD, so I am used to the interesting atmosphere, and I appreciate the good food) lol but the little outside seating is quaint during spring or late night. Oh, did I mention the coffee is great I order a bit of cream and sugar and they get it perfect every time., its slightly flavored with cinnamon and piping hot. I love it.”

“Very unique where you serve yourself from the tap wall (both beer & cocktails). I was able to sample several with the different size glasses availableKid-friendliness: They have an entire play area for little kids while the adults can sit, watch them, get together with new parents & have a beer without having to hire a babysitter.Wheelchair accessibility: All on 1 floor, chairs are movable.”

“Authentic Korean food. The food is delicious. Staff is friendly. What’s better is that it’s our late night spot. They close at 2am!!! The pork soup and kalbi are my constant gotos. Other dishes are good as well. We go here at least once every 2 e weeks.”

“OMG, we nearly cried while eating bc the food was so good here. The barbacoa tacos were so good, we had to get some to go. Chicken quesadilla too. Very sweet and attentive staff. I guess this place is in a "seedy" area... but we are from Baltimore so felt like home. This is the place to go for amazing food. Get it to go if youre nervous I guess.”

“Great music and fun vibe. Can get very crowded on the weekends, but def worth a visit. Entrance is through the back-alley and sometimes there's a cover charge.”

“5 stars is not enough. Before anything, noticed the super nice employees and a clean space- then I got home with the food I ordered and my girlfriend and I both were impressed with the both portion size and flavors of the chicken and gyro wraps.”

“I'm not one to post a review or give a rating on an experience but there's a first time for everything. I've ordered food a few times now from Freshii and every time has been a great experience. The Teriyaki Twiist with chicken is my personal favorite. I also like to get their Freshii Green smoothie along with the Energii Bites, which I usually save for a snack later. The wait time has definitely improved since my first visit there and the staff are always friendly. I highly recommend to everyone to go down to Freshii and try it out.”

“Very pleasant service by a very beautiful young lady. She was very helpful and courteous. The food was outstanding with lots of flavor!!! I will definitely go back!!”

“We always come to Perry's when we are in Austin. We had a group of eight and the service very good. The food was excellent as always. It is not a quiet night on a Friday and the noise is quite loud and energetic. I always recommend Perry's.”

“Brandon, our server was most helpful, patient and cordial. The Sunday night pork chop was its usual treat and the sides were too. This is a great place to bring family and friends for visits, celebrations and good times. The parking is easy and the atmosphere warm and inviting.”

“Honestly wonderful, very tasty. I came because every weekend, the place is packed with Indian and South Asian folks. I've had a little Indian food before, but I'm out of my depth past samosas and chicken tikka masala. Sumit was very friendly and helpful in guiding me to a really terrific dinner! I especially loved the Gobi Manchurian.”

“I came here for my birthday and I had such a great time. Wonderful location, great ambience. I want to specifically thank Ronaldo, the customer service personnel. Just amazing, he kept checking in to make sure we were enjoying our time and even brought out a birthday cake. Ramos and Peter our server that were so nice, and recommended wonderful drinks. I had such a wonderful time and I’m glad my husband brought me here to enjoy my birthday.”

“We went for our anniversary and had a lovely dinner. French onion soup and spinach salad to start followed by filet's and crab cakes. Bread pudding for dinner. Service was impeccable and food was piping hot and delicious. Steaks done to perfection. Mojito's were a wonderful addition. Will definitely go back! Anthony was wonderful.”

“Steaks were melt in your mouth amazing! Some of the best service I have ever had anywhere. Wine list and bourbon selection rivals any place in the country! We cannot wait to return.”

“The food is pretty good but not great, especially for the price. The service is good, fast and friendly. My biggest problem is that the water tastes a little funny.”

“The food was very good but the service was average at best. It took awhile to get our orders taken; it took multiple asks to get a refill on our wine; when I asked for melted butter for my lobster tail, I received a thimble of unmelted garlic spread.”

“Opa! Such a beautiful environment, the parking can be off putting but there is plenty next door. The food was delicious, I enjoyed everything. There was entertainment and a magic show while we waited for our meal. I would recommend going and trying something different, I found out I really like eggplant on this day. Lol Plus their Tzatziki is the best! So fresh and delicious ?Parking: Their direct lot is small, but next door you can park at the church.”

“Food was decent but I was not super impressed. I was trying to look for great southern food in the area and this was the only spot I found. Great atmosphere though!”

“Visiting Austin for the first time and loved this place. The location is great, and the staff are extremely welcoming . We had an awesome server Ember who went above and beyond for us. River at the entrance that departed us on our adventure up the elevator was super friendly and kicked off our great evening. Super grateful for wonderful experience on a Monday evening. Also, great tasting food and beverages! 10/10 will come again.”

“We wanted a fairly quick but not rushed meal before the Paramount. Our waiter David, met those needs completely. Drinks were ordered and arrived promptly with some chips and corn dip to share. Delicious Entrees followed in acceptable timing, bills presented when asked for! The Salmon Miso was perfect! Great before theatre experience !”

“I find Roaring Fork Stonelake to be consistently good - good food & great service from the wait-staff and the managers. I always feel welcome. I tend to sit in the bar area or on a patio where it's generally lively. The friendly atmosphere & location by the “lake” makes me feel like I've gotten away.”

“Really lovely small exotic portions. Red eye tuna sashimi and Australian wagyu, and soft-shell crab were standouts. Comp valet was very convenient. A lively atmospheric restaurant. WE would definitely go to Ichiko again.”

“This is one of my favorite eateries in Austin. Always liked it. The food servings are generous and tasty. The service is a disaster. They brought the fajitas before the ceviche appetizer, which ruined it for me as the fajitas got cold by the time I finished the appetizer. The manager was indifferent. The waitress transferred my table to a new guy to slip away from her responsibilities. Made me feel like I was supposed to leave. I won’t be back unfortunately after this. Pity, it used to be a great place.”

“As much as I would love to keep this hidden taqueria a secret, it's been posted by way too many "influencers" to do so! What truly captivates me about Taqueria 10 de 10 is its unapologetic authenticity. Most of the staff's native tongue is Spanish, but that bona fides the experience. Trust the expertise of the staff, hand over your ticket, and revel in the culinary masterpieces they deliver. Following our meal, my friends and I had the pleasure of meeting Raul, the dreamy owner of Taqueria 10 de 10. We learned about his vision of bringing a piece of his Mexican homeland to Austin, a vision unfulfilled by other establishments in the area. That's where Taqueria 10 comes in. Not only does Raul offer delectable tacos around the clock, but also boasts a bar and a club, making it a true destination for those seeking an authentic taste of Mexico and a vibrant nightlife experience.”

“Loud bustling atmosphere that you would expect from a popular restaurant on a Sat night. The staff is super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes. Flaky scallion swirls were amazing with the the truffle butter and sweet bean sauce to lather on top. Very flavorful, flaky and super buttery and soft. We also had the Liang Ban BBQ Pig Ear which was spicy and really nice flavor and it numbs your mouth. I could only have a little as I'm not a huge fan of the Mala peppercorns but my husband enjoyed it. Same with the DanDan noodles - strong Mala pepper flavor. The husband said the DanDan Noodles were the best he's ever had so far. For dessert, we had the black sesame soft serve which was delicious. TIP: scoop from the bottom when eating the soft serve or you'll end up with a bunch of tapioca with your last few bites. My favorite was the flaky scallion swirl.”

“Great brunch menu! My husband and I have been looking for more brunch places that will allow our puppy to join us and stumbled upon this gem. The service (and other guests) were so nice to and patient with our dog! The food was amazing (we got a Pulled Pork Benny, a Nitro Horchata, and a Chorizo Hash), appropriately priced, and was served very quickly. There were so many interesting choices on the menu that we are planning to go back asap to try other dishes We didn't get to see the inside of the diner due to our dog, but the covered patio had multiple tables for about four to five people each which were very comfortable.”

“Lapachi's is a great spot to pick up a quick meal. Chef Lapachi was kind and attentive when I visited, even though he was also quite busy, and able to recommend a dish that met my eating preferences. I had the fries and a vegetable panini. The fries were crisp on the outside with a soft interior. They were seasoned well, complementing the essence of the potato without overpowering it. Although the fries are a side that pair nicely with a sandwich, I did not need to eat them with any sauce. They could easily be a stand alone snack!As for the vegetable panini, I appreciated that it was cut into two manageable halves. The bread came out crunchy but not hard and I could taste notes of feta and perhaps other cheeses under the flavor of the olives and warm tomatoes.All in all, I had a pleasant experience at this new downtown bistro. Chef Lapachi is one of the best chefs around, and I look forward to exploring the menu more in the future!”

“Delicious food at a reasonable price! So glad to have this nearby and can’t wait to go back. We had the chicken tikka masala and the saag paneer tacos. Soooo yummy!”

“A new 70s themed diner on S Congress! I like how it's not in the heart of SoCo which makes parking so much easier. The space is small but I think they make great use of it, especially with the outdoor seating. We came on a Saturday around noon and got seated right away. I just love the aesthetic of the restaurant, it's very in theme, down to the sever uniforms. They had a special that day where we could get a free pancake and I thought that was a fun surprise. There's something for everyone on the menu and my friend and I shared the French toast and the fried chicken sandwich. Both were incredible! I did not expect to like the sandwich as much as I did and the French toast was huge and definitely enough for 2 people. I also thought the price point was reasonable and this is a good casual spot to grab brunch! I will be back for sure.”

“Pretty good curry! And the spice levels run higher than the typical Americanized places so beware! Portions were a good size, especially the tacos! Those were huge and even more spicy! They were able to accommodate our group of around 10 pretty immediately on a Sunday afternoon which was nice. The servers were also super friendly which was a bonus.”

“The dumplings stole the show, especially the pork and shrimp spicy and sour dumplings. They were bursting with flavor and had the perfect balance of spice and tang. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. Everything we had was great, and I would also recommend the pork fried rice and green beans. The xia long bao was nice and worth trying.Dumpling World is an excellent place to go for delicious food and an enjoyable dining experience. They are currently in their soft opening phase, so we are looking forward to their final menu.Parking: There is a very close parking garage that has free retail parking on the bottom level.”

“We picked up iftar dinner today and the owner was so very nice kind to offer us dates as a slight delay caused us to break fast in the car. The food overall was amazing. We ordered chicken tikka, beef bihari, chicken bihari, seekh kabab, bun kabab, halwa puri combo, and laccha parathas. The beef bihari, seekh kebab and bun kababs were my favorite. Great flavor, melt in your mouth texture with balanced spices. In Shaa Allah hope to visit again post Ramadan to eat on premise and enjoy the bustling vibe. Truly happy to find this hidden gem in Austin that takes me back to the flavors of Karachi. Wishing the karachigrillatx.com team all the very best and continued success.”

“From the generous plump juicy chicken to southern sides, Hattie B's does not disappoint! Among the best ever if not "the" best tenders you can custom order to heat as well as half bird & wings. Very friendly fun staff - from ordering to food arrival. Bright open airy space. Always a positive atmosphere. My new favorite place for hot chicken”

“Checked out this spot near my hotel when I was out visiting in Austin. Great vibes in there, huge menu selection to choose from. Wait time was not long, definitely a spot to work or just hang out. I order the "Goldie Mango" mango base with granola, banana, strawberries, and a drizzle of Nutella. I probably would ask for a tad bit more of Nutella because I love chocolate but it's my personal preference. Overall, the quantity of the bowl was worth for what you paid for. I will return back when in Austin again!”

“Yes El Amla's downtown location has a certain charm about it with a roof top eating area and unique indoor vibe but honey parking is a beast and that's why El Alma is the best. I can go here all the time. There's plenty of room to sit, it accommodates even more folks at this location and parking galore. Plus if you wanted to stroll the plaza after dinner there's plenty of shopping. The service was top notch as you'd expect and the food was just as quick and delicious. This is my favorite location because of its accessibility and the food and service is just as great as the original!”

“By happenstance my fiancé and I tried Special Noodle. On first glance, the restaurant was very clean and modern. Ordering was easy and it helped to have photos included in their app. The food and service were top notch. Everything arrived hot and I appreciated the availability of condiments at the table. The only criticism we had was that the honey walnut shrimp didn't look like the picture that was advertised and it was over battered/way too sweet. Everything else that we ordered was delicious. We will definitely be visiting Special Noodle again!”

“Guys this is the best tacos i ever had its blown my mind and also ckn tikka pizza super good i never had food better then this highly recommend specially for vegetarian people”

“I tried this gem of a place for the first time and they did not disappoint! Delicious fresh food, friendly service, clean facilities, and overall great experience! The food and the service is certainly the star of this place! I was immediately greeted with a smile, and offered suggestions on what tasty items to get. I ordered the BBQ grill plate with the chicken and lamb, along with some falafel, and baklava for dessert. Every single item was delicious. Just so flavorful and beautifully done. Definitely give this place a try- you will be glad that you did! Each item was authentic in flavor and texture, and presentation. I will be back to try other items soon!”
