I usually love Maudie's restaurants, but this one? Not so much. My first experience here was Monday night with a rather large group (10 adults, 4 children) and a birthday celebration. We took up 6 two-top tables in the center of the larger room. On the positive side, we had a reserved thanks that was ready on time. And the food and drink we had was indeed good. On the negative side, lots. First, the happy hour menu has changed and not for the better. My favorite, the nachos compuestos have been removed. I can understand that at the $6 price point that was probably not possible to sustain. But at the same time I would have gladly paid $2 to $3 more on happy hour to get what I wanted. Maybe they should offer dollars off instead of fixed price? Another member of the party noticed, as did I, that the Mexi-Marts are getting skimpier. There's far more ice and far less drink. Service was kind but needed too much flagging for chip, salsa, and water refills. The biggest problem by far was the seating. I was uncomfortable all night because we were crammed three to a table for two. My girlfriend thought I was being intentionally cozy when I was really just trying to make room for the diner at the end of the table to eat. My girlfriend's plate and mine and drink glasses and Mexi-Mart shakers were all jammed on to one side of that two top. Note to Maudie's that just because a table has four sides does not mean it's large enough to seat four people comfortably. There really is no ambience to the location. Add to the experience the sketchy hood this location calls home, plus the unsavory characters constantly roaming the parking lot and this Maudie's is so not going to be a repeat performance for me. I'll give it 2.25 stars rounded down to two for the disappointing experience overall. I'll find another location to get my Maudie's fix.

My recent trip to Maudie's North Lamar was fantastic! The Tex-Mex cuisine was delicious, especially the enchiladas and homemade salsa. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were attentive. Overall, a great dining experience!

Food was good. Sketchy part of town. Lots of cracked out people walking around in parking lot. Nothing to do with the service and food of course.

Maudie's is kind of our go to local joint. Love the skinny cheryl's enchiladas that come with grilled asparagus, but this trip we got chicken fajitas. Love that they come with lots of veggies. Enough to take home and have tacos next day. Great fresh salsa.

Maudie's is an Austin staple and has many locations in the metropolitan area. My first visit to this location and I do not have a strong desire to come back as I was greeted by homeless people in the parking lot asking for money. Good and friendly service was the highlight of the visit. The chips were fresh, but very average... And the salsa tasted very generic... big change from the salsa, I remember. My main entrée consisted of two tamales and a cheese enchilada with onions. All served à la carte. Nothing special, really void of significant flavor... Very bland. Plenty of open, seating. There was plenty of space between each table, so you could have a private conversation. Many of the tables we're beginning to show some age, but still very functional. Bottom line - great service, cold beer, and very average bland food. Maudie's has traditionally and historically delivered over the years - maybe I need to give this location another shot.

My family has been enjoying food here for 20+ years. We love it. Our favorites are enchiladas, fajitas, and tacos. The staff are nice, and our orders are always right. Their margaritas are excellent, even the frozen ones are good. (I cannot recommend their bloody marys, sorry! They're not the best.) We consider a meal at Maudie's North Lamar to be a really wonderful family night out. We all find something we like.Kid-friendliness: Kids always welcome!

Came to Austin for the first time and the service stunk. The waitress was snobby and slow. It took 20 minutes to order and the meat for the fajitas was AWFUL!! Gristle and tough and had no flavor..the best thing was the salsa and

Not a very good experience. We sat in a booth and had people in front and behind us. Our waitress asked them NUMEROUS times how their experience was but seem to avoid us. Couldn't order an appetizer because I couldn't get her attention. Food was okay. Enchiladas taste like a TV Dinner. Chips and salsa was the best thing about the place
