“This is my favorite place to eat in and around Austin. The Pita Shack is my “go to” once or twice a week. The food is delicious and healthy. LOVE the kebab! The owners are extremely friendly. Very lovely place. I’m extremely happy I found this place.“
“Got Lamb Tibbs ~$18 and Ultimate veg combo ~$30Meat was very flavorful and not gamey at all. Best tasting out of everything. The injera was not as sour tasting compared to other places. Veg combo was alright. Some of the lentils were undercooked.Presentation was good. Was surprised they brought out the dishes individually and poured them on the injera.Big portions but also not that cheap. Came out to be $55 after tax and tip.Grateful that they decided to help my pack my leftovers but was kind of gross when it was all mixed up. Would have preferred the injera and dishes separated ?**Note: They charge 25 cents for togo box“
“It’s always a. I’ve place and the people have always been nice too. The food is delicious with a great price point. The only thing is that some items may pretend to be “spicy”. They are not. Firecracker shrimp tastes delicious, but is not hot. Nashville hot chicken is also not hot at all, but great flavor. The background music is also pretty cool and helps with the vibe.“
“Who don't like cake ?Great to indulge in a personalized cake made just for you. Always have many flavors to choose from . Reminds me of a old church function when one of them old school ladys would make a bundt cake. Priceless! Takes me back. Me and my family love and appreciate Nothing Bundt Cakes and there staff.“
“3 vegan options for the win! I’m lactose intolerant so always need something dairy free. I rarely can find a froyo spot with 1 dairy free option, but 3 is a huge score! I’ll have to go back so I can try them all. The young girl at the counter was nice but seemed new to customer service. She asked if we were reward members but when we said no she didn’t offer to sign us up. Next time I guess!“
“We drove into the area for a few errands and, per the usual, I he time of the morning was just right to add Round Rock Donuts to the list of stop.Drive through was stretched around the block, but there were a few spaces open in the quaint lot. We rolled into a spot, I remained while the wife and toddler went to grab something amazing…Some customers were already in a line hanging out of the entrance into the middle of a covered patio. Weather was cool, early spring, however, she was going through the entrance about 8 minutes after being the last person in line.About 6 min passed before a notable silhouette happily stepped through the swath of waiting customers, a visible newly adopted hoppity hop in her step indicated a happy Mommy!23 minutes in all from entering the parking lot to exiting. 2 dozen glazed donut holes, half dozen glazed and 1/2 dozen chocolate donuts… this glaze… you just can’t get it anywhere else and if you had it decades ago with the original store, then you KNOW this glaze today. Sweets for your soul!Careful… if you are one of those early adopters that is finally making their way back to their roots… the original store burned down a few years back and the new store was constructed in the same location.If you haven’t been yet… bucket list donuts… get some of that goodness for your soul!Parking: Parking lot spaces are maxed out and that does make It difficult for larger vehicles to squeeze around. There’s always at least 2 cars that go around the lot the wrong way. Keep your eyes open!Kid-friendliness: Donuts, holes, other sweets… definitely kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lot does have accessible spots and through to the building.“
“Food was delicious and creative. We loved that there were lots of vegetarian and GF options. Dining room was on the smaller side and was a little loud, but not overly so. We were able to talk amongst ourselves easily without feeling like we needed to shout. Our drinks were delicious, and our server, Kelsey, was delightful. Looking forward to our next visit.Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for GF diners“
“I went alone during a slow lunch period and got a cold cuts sandwich. It tasted quite good. The biggest issue was the wait time. It took them 10 minutes to take my order, then it took them 25 minutes to make a sandwich. The service was friendly but slow.Probably a great place to get a pizza while hanging out with friends, but the wait brought my experience down. Not a bad place, though.“
“Deliciously fresh and tasty poke bowls and nice people prepping and serving the food.Not in a great location as it is right off 290 but inside is nice, clean and quaint.It was mine and my family’s first time there and we will be sure to be back!“
“Ordered the omakase. Decided last minute to add hot rock & edamame. I noted that I do not want it to interfere with the timing of the omakase, and please serve as ready. It was roughly a 45 minute delay after the hot rock waiting for our next dish. Total time spent - 3 hours.I'll come back and re-visit this review after my next visit and hopefully can update it to 5 stars. Thank you, UchiKo!“
“I went into the restaurant today for an easy to go order. We enjoy eating there whenever we are in town. All I was picking up today though happened to be 3 jars of pimento cheese. The “best” pimento cheese ever! My husband and I had traveled to the area this week specifically to attend and participate in a beautiful Celebration of Life for one of the kindest people we’ve ever met. One of our bffs. Over the years the four of us have shared jars of pimento cheese, along with crackers; and many other fantastic offerings on the menu. Yummy, and it never fails to please us. Of course when getting an order to go, you go through the bar staff to complete the process. Today I was fortunate to interact with Cara in the bar area. She was fantastic; personable, while being excellent with her customer service skills. Upon finding out the purpose that we were purchasing the pimento cheese for, she immediately offered a complimentary jar. Very kind. We will always remember her empathy and kindness. Of course on our next trip here, there will only be 3 of us, but we will still enjoy our meal while we are in town.Great job Cara.“
“I love uppercrust, but ever since they changed the bearclaw recipe, I've been disappointed... it was better before. It was tender and bready and chewy and had a good amount of filling. I think they changed it to the croissant dough, and I love a croissant, but it doesn't work with the bearclaw for me! They had a special and unique thing there that nowhere else had, and now it's always dry, kind of tough, and sometimes the filling is just a log of cream cheese and somehow a log of intact (not melted) chocolate. At this point I'd rather go somewhere else than face the disappointment of my favorite pastry in austin being gone. I've given it so many chances since the recipe change and it's just not what I want! I loved it before!!! Change it back pleeeeaaaasseeeeeee.They have a lot of other great stuff though... their coconut cream pie has a layer of chocolate between the crust and the filling and the whole thing is delicious.“
“I finally found a bakery in Austin that has the perfectly crafted, out of this world cakes and pastries. It’s quite a drive from my house but I will even walk to this place for the deliciousnesses. My son’s new favorite and mine too…Plus their cakes feel so light on body and soul…Thanks to the one who bakes these beauties.“
“I’ve always loved coming here because their food is great! Christy was our server tonight and she did not disappoint! I had a mess up with one of my appetizers and she immediately took it away and got me a brand new one in no time. She was kind and treated us like we were family here. I will for sure be coming back and hopefully I can have her as my server each time. thanks Christy! You deserve a big raise. I’ve never felt so comfortable at a restaurant, ever!“
“Reem was an amazing server she was attentive and kind told her about are trip to the mountains and Katlyn helped me on the phone with the reservation seating she was super helpful the food was so good but the fettuccine was ok and the pork chop was perfect I had a black berry sangria it was the best thing ever over all the service was top tier and the food was great thanks reem for the amazing service“
“Genuine Joe’s has been and will always be my favorite coffee shop and place to get work done. The most cozy atmosphere awaits my every time without fail. My latte is perfect every time and I have a hard time getting one anywhere else.I’ve made good friends in my years as a patron and I will always remember the times I’ve had there :)Forever Genuine-photo of my better half“
“We love MOOYAH!!! Best burgers and fries and the shakes are delicious!Everything is fresh, meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and the French fries are hand cut and perfectly fried!! If you haven’t tried, please make a point to check them out. You won’t be disappointed!!!They also have an excellent app to keep track of your rewards!“

“I was craving mochi donuts so bad!! Tomas suggested this place so I immediately checked them out. Small local business is a plus! They are currently doing a pop up at Dia's Market on Friday and Saturday. You have the option of pre-ordering your order for pick up. Be sure to check their social media or website to find their location. I ordered the following six flavors to try: strawberry shine, mangonada, ube rainbow, vanilla with crunchy chili oil, birthday cake and classic chocolate. They were soft with a chewy texture...perfect. Flavored beautifully. She provided me the instructions for warming them up for the next day. They were still good the next day. Very fresh and made with quality ingredients. They were all good, but if I had to choose one flavor I really enjoyed the mangonada. Yum! This was definitely a good spot for mochi donuts. Check them out.“
“I love this BBQ restaurant. My favorite cut is the beef rib. They gave me "small rib" and didn't have a lot of meat on it like usual. I didn't pitch a fuss bc it WAS my cheat day ?! Overall, the food was great and service was top notch!“
“Brentwood is so cool to host a Community Fridge there outside. Mutual Aid. Give Food. Take Food. Help your community. AwesomeAnd Brentwood is a fantastic coffeehouse with delicious treats and beverages- i did a iced hibiscus with vanilla and it’s amazing!Dietary restrictions: I don’t remember but the treats were specialized. Like keto cookie. Or gluten free bread. I’m not sure what we got but it was delicious.Parking: There is a spot for quick pickup or delivery and depending when you go there is a lot of parking with some difficulty in getting out.“
“We came in trying to cut thru the parking lot and deceided to stop in. It was our first time even though we lived in this neighborhood about 12 years ago. When you walk in it smells like bread. They bake everything everyday and when they are out of something it is out. My daughter wanted to try the morning bread but apparently we took too long and it was snatched up. I ended up getting the Spinach Feta Danish which was good. It was the perfect blend of spinach and danish. I didn't think it would mesh but it did. I also got the Caramel Apple Pie which I eat later. My daughter got the Foliage Sausage Bread which she loved. It was soft enough that it didn't mess with her braces and she said it felt she was in another country. She also got the Vanilla Cream Doughnut which she had immediately after the sausage bread and she loved it. I tried it and it was better than any doughnut I have had. I also got the Honey Lavender Matcha Latte and I will say I have tried matcha at a couple places trying to figure it out. I think I found the one I like. It does pick up bc as soon as we got ours the place started picking up. They have tons of seating inside and outside. They offer free wifi but I had no need for it. They have signs advising to that since it is so fresh to eat same day or within a day. I can honestly say that this would be a hike from S Austin that I am willing to take. We will definitely be back so my daughter can get that morning bread and so I can try more.“
“I planned to go to Chinatown North for dim sum but the sign at the entrance said to head downstairs for dim sum, where Street is below. The waiter said they are connected but different establishments and the dim sum servers upstairs would come from the lower kitchen anyway. I ate here with a close friend after wrapping up weekend meetings in Austin. The place has a good vibe and friendly service, quite modern and clean. We shared six items and everything had great flavor, with the turnip cake and prawn siu mai being my favorites. Above average pricing for dim sum but I think that comes with the experience. Good spot for a date or with friends. I would go back.Parking: Free parking lot around the building.“
“Every now and then, I get these cravings for a yummy hamburger! My husband loves burgers and, without hesitation, looks for places for us to eat! We decided to come back to Hat Creek at the domain after trying their food a while back with a couple of friends. I'm pretty picky when it comes to hamburgers, I'm more of a chicken person, but Hat Creek has good stuff! It definitely satisfied my craving, and their Peanut Butter Cup shake was the cherry on top for me! It's located in the Domain, so there's plenty of stores to shop around and go on nice walks when the weather is great! The staff was lovely and the service was quick and easy!Kid-friendliness: Hat Creek has an indoor and outdoor sitting area, the outside has a play area for kids! It's pretty nice!“
“Delicious food and friendly staff! My food came out fast, fresh and delicious, but I had to take a phone call and when it was done, my ramen had gotten a little cold. I apologized to the staff and asked if they could heat it back up for me as it was my fault it had gotten cold. Without skipping a beat the staff member behind the bar immediately offered to remake it. She explained they don't have the ability to reheat it but would instead make my order again because she wanted to make sure I got to enjoy my ramen while it was fresh and hot. I can't say enough kind things about this location. When it comes to amazing ramen and the people who keep things running at this location, both are 5 stars in my book.“
“Nothing is really made fresh. It's all pre-made at the beginning of the day and then warmed up.But the drinks are amazing, It's in a great location, the staff is friendly, And it's nice to just sit down and chat with a friend.Sometimes I wish there was more seating suited to groups of 4/5.“
“Came in for lunch on a Saturday and sure glad we did! Service was great and they are very accommodating for anyone with food allergies. We decided to go with the street food since it's only offered Thursday-Saturday Order chicken satay moo ping pad ka-prow I'd start the pad ka-prow, bench the moo ping, and cut the satay. The moo ping is close to being a starter for me as it was very delicious! Prices are fair and plenty of parking. Will be back for more street food!“
“LongHorn Steakhouse is a steak lover's paradise! Their steaks are always cooked to perfection – tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Their LongHorn Old Fashioned is the perfect way to unwind after a long day, with its smooth bourbon and sweetness. With plenty of parking options available, dining at LongHorn is a breeze. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just craving a delicious meal, LongHorn Steakhouse is sure to be a great option!“
“I can't say enough good things about Paige's Bakehouse. They responded to my email request right away and very nice throughout the entire process. The cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious. Everyone asked where I got it from!“
“I appreciate the smaller menu that made it easier for me to choose what to eat. I got the garden bowl plate with chicken added and my friends got the poke bowls. The portions were huge! I would have split with one of my friends as I ended up having to throw away some of my food afterwards which I hate doing. :( the food is fresh and I love how healthy you end up feeling. The service was wonderful as she gave us some of her recommendations and was very friendly. I love how the booths have pillows which add to the atmosphere in creating a cozy space to relax and eat. They are environmentally friendly with paper straws and reusable dishware that is great to see!! The food was delicious. The peanut sauce made my dish a sweet flavor and when mixed with the teriyaki chicken was very enjoyable. I will be back for sure!Vegetarian options: All dishes come without meat it is optional to add meat for an additional price.Parking: There are about 8 spots I believe.“
“The restaurant has a great selection of delicious and affordable Japanese food. I’ve ordering here for a while now and the fishes are always fresh and the sushi pieces are big. They have an amazing gyoza and special sushi rolls. Also, they offer lunch specials with a great price (Monday to Saturday from 11:00-2:30pm).“
“A really lovely shop with great products for those of us with celiac disease or bad gluten allergies. The chocolate chip cookie was my favorite, although their pies are very good. Things are prices quite reasonably - I spent $12 for two mini pies, a cookie, and a brownie. There is one outdoor table with two chairs if you want to snack while you're there.Dietary restrictions: Free of top allergens - nuts, gluten, dairy, soy, and more! And they only use oat flour in one product which is great for celiac people who react to avenin.“
“I tried this place on a whim due to the reviews. I got half a chicken with rice and plantains, and a chicken and a beef empanada. This place has delicious chicken- and great plantains. But everything else was ok. I didn’t care for the empanadas at all, and the cilantro rice was subpar. The sauces were delicious and the service was excellent. The staff got my order wrong but they quickly fixed it which I appreciated. Very very kind and friendly service. I would not return, but it was a nice experience, especially the service!“
“Cute installation of this restaurant chain with a relaxing vibe. Perfect for quick lunch meetups, kid friendly, and close to free garage parking.Vegetarian options: Fully customizable bowls that include vegetarian and vegan options. Several items are both vegan and gluten-free.Dietary restrictions: Good for gluten-free diets with *amazing* mac and cheese. Everything on the menu is clearly marked.Parking: Right across from the blue garage at The Domain.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly atmosphere with healthy menu options to sneak in a round of veggies.“
“My daughter and I absolutely love this place, we come at least once a week, and sometimes more. It’s usually a great experience however, this evening was a different story. We got there 15 minutes before closing so I asked the girl behind the counter if it was ok that we still order something … she responded with an attitude, “iF iTs QuIcKkKk”… Eww.What scoop of ice cream isn’t quick? And aren’t you still open anyways? Like girl, I worked in the service industry for 10 years and we were never allowed to respond to anyone like that. I found it rude, disrespectful, and a huge turnoff. We will continue getting ice cream from here but, NEVER when she’s working.“
Sandwich Shop • $
“One of our most favorite sandwich places is Ike’s sandwich shops. We have come here a lot of times. I think i love their versatile menu and how many choices they have for vegetarians and vegans.Their World famous Dutch crunch bread is my favorite choice for my sandwich. It tastes so good. My husband usually orders Friday the 13th. For vegetarian they have vegan chicken, vegan beef, eggplant, vegan bacon in sandwiches almost 20 varieties. I love their James and Giant peach and Barbette, even though I have tried a couple more and also loved it. I also recommend getting their freebies with dirty sauce. It’s so good.They have cool names for their sandwiches too. I also like their Voodoo flavored chips and Mandarin, cardamom and turmeric drink.Overall it’s a must try restaurant and you’ll keep coming back for more.Vegetarian options: They have clearly labeled vegetarian and vegan sandwiches. An entire section with about approximately 25 sandwiches.“
“Had a drink at the bar while we waited for our table. Everyone there was awesome! The bartender, the hostess, the server (Christine)--even the random worker that said to have a good night on the way back from the bathroom--everyone seemed to go out of there way to be friendly and accommodating.Our apps and entrees were delightful (mushroom ravioli and spaghetti and meatball) and the butter cake was a treat!Funny that we've stayed a couple blocks away from the original one in Chicago but have never been to that one. We definitely will next time we're in town!“
“Wow! I havent even finished my meal yet but needed to leave a review. I ordered the basil fried rice with chicken and medium spice. It's PERFECTLY seasoned and so flavorful. It was ready quickly during lunch on a Tuesday, I'll be back to try the rest of the menu. Thank you!!“
“This place is awesome! You have to eat here! They have a wonderful menu and reasonable prices. The staff is very friendly. And the service is outstanding. We have been here several times and will continue to come back in the future. You have to try the catfish!“
“Visiting the area and staying at the hotel next door we came here craving a light and tasty meal. Ordered two grain bowls and a hummus platter. Food was delicious - fresh and probably more healthy ingredients than in our last two weeks on the road. Service was outstanding - kudos to Riley, Phoenix, Aaron and Peter for taking care of us. Highly recommended. Thanks guys!“
“This place is right down the road from where my husband works and also from ACC highland where I'm currently taking classes, so it's super convenient. Parking is easy, outdoor seating is nice in the covered patio, service is quick, and staff is super friendly. I always put my orders in online and they are done within 5 min (this is between 8-9am). Love the fact that I can add fruit to smoothies without an extra charge as well! I've definitely leveled up a couple smoothies that way :)“
“Super fast, friendly, delicious, and it is like they are choreographed when I come in. They know just where I prefer to sit, that I need a fork for my pho noodles, extra bean sprouts/cilantro/thai basil, ice water, a bag when I'm done. They notice if I am not there once a week, and take their time getting to know me. They make people feel special, and are always warm and welcoming. It has been a joy getting to know Thach, Nick, Hal, and An.“
“This is the right way to serve gluten-free. All sides are gluten free & there is a gf bun option for burgers if you opt out of their flash fried chicken nuggies.... they are to die for!! So yum! Always served with a smile & quickly. So much love from a person with celiacs disease & even more love from a happy doggo.“
“Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen offers a fantastic dining experience with its delicious seafood and welcoming atmosphere. From fresh oysters to flavorful gumbo, each dish is a culinary delight. With attentive service and a lively ambiance, it's the perfect spot for seafood lovers to indulge in a memorable meal.“

“This is a really chill cafe where you can get a lot of work done. They bake this fresh at their other location every day and then bring it over to this location and other cafes.I like that it’s not cold or loud and the wifi is great. Of course, the options for food and coffee is solid as well! The worker was really nice and helpful to me, as she was knowledgeable of everything they offered.I’ll be back!“
Fine Dining
“Have been to this Flemings Domain location before and again recently to celebrate my birthday. The food was outstanding. Amazing appetizers, steak selection and sides. Exceptional service by the servers, and manager Christian M. ensured my birthday dining experience was memorable. Highly recommend this location!!!“
“Absolutely perfect pizza. We ordered the garlic knots, bbq chicken pizza, and butter chicken pizza for delivery. The garlic knots have full flavor and mounds of cheese, awesome. Then we tried the pizza! I thought the bbq chicken would be hard to beat. The crust was perfect, so much flavor, plenty of toppings and great portion. When I had the butter chicken I was floored. Not what I expected. Spicy enough, wonderful flavor, fresh toppings. Can’t wait to order again. Bonus: beautifully presented. Everything looks like a picture, which unfortunately I ate too fast too take.“
“I am very picky about Mexican restaurants (I grew up in Mexico)… that said Casa Chapala is in my top 3 best Mexican restaurants in Austin. Their guacamole is always fresh, the chips and salsas are great (salsa is made in front of you with your preferred level of spice), their queso flameado is so good!Their service is always great. I always recommend.“
“Baked 'n Sconed is in the building I used to crank donuts out in before going to college. I remember that location fondly and was so happy to see another shop going in. Their scones are incredible, service quick, and the coffee hot and delicious. I'm partial to the cherry turnovers and won't ever pass an opportunity to pick one up. It is a small space with some tables, a sofa, and a bar to sit at. There is also a picnic table outside. I do see some folks working out of the location, but it doesn't seem you'd be able to park it there for a long time. I highly advise checking it out and getting a ham+cheese croissant!“
Coffee Shops • $
“Such a cute little spot. The coffee is really good, but most coffee tastes good to me so... but was nice to have all the vegan options without the upcharge. The vegan baked goods really stood out, though. I don't know how they do some of it, and I cook a lot. Will be back regularly!“
“My wife finally finished her Masters thesis project on a Saturday night so I wanted to surprise & celebrate her big achievement the next day with sweets, however I couldn't find a place that was either open on Sunday or a place that did not require an order placed in advance. Suga's Cakery (Patricia) thankfully was open and after chatting with her via her website, I placed an order for 6 different cupcakes.No B.S., these were the most delicious cupcakes my wife and I had ever eaten & we come from NYC and have eaten at Magnolia Bakery when it was all the rage. Patricia's cake was moist, the icing just the right amount of sweet, and you can taste that these were handmade and made by someone who puts care into their baking.Besides the fantastic cupcakes, Patricia is the warmest and sweetest baker. After about 15 mins she text me that the order was ready. I went to pick them up & told her why I was buying the cupcakes, she took a cupcake into the back and wrapped the top in fondant with a "Congrats" written on top to celebrate my wife's accomplishment.What a wonderful, thoughtful gesture! You will not find that kind of above & beyond service at a supermarket or other big box store where you can purchase cakes & sweets. We like to support local small business and Suga's Cakery has two new life-long customers. A truly great place to indulge when that sweet tooth acts up. I promise that you will not be disappointed!“
