“Despite not typically being my preferred type of venue, I couldn't resist checking out Flower Child to see what all the hype was about. I was pleasantly surprised by the varied menu options and the warm, welcoming staff who set the stage for an enjoyable meal. Opting for the Kale and Brussels salad with added steak for protein, I found the salad flavorful, though the steak was a bit tough. Nevertheless, I'm already looking forward to returning.“
“We went to celebrate our anniversary and had a great experience. Our favorites were the goat ragu pasta (great meaty mouth-feel and textures), grilled broccoli (deviled egg sauce and pepita seasoning make it so layered flavorwise), raspberry sorbet (amazing raspberry flavor pop!). The cornbread is always perfect. We got the wagyu strip and weren't super impressed compared to everything else. The steak itself wasn't seasoned much so you had to coat it in the sauce (which was delicious). I normally just like a steak seasoned well without a sauce - so you just have to let go of that expectation. It was incredibly tender. Just not the right choice for me, but glad I tried it. Draft Palomas were strong and delicious, salt foam is addictive. Glad we ubered to and from. Servers and food runners are all great!“
“The best food in town. We were there with our team and we ordered almost everything from the menu and loved everything we ate. Their speciality is more about beef, pork and fish and they are perfect at it . Their menu keeps changing and chicken options are not available . Servers were gentle, kind and helped in choosing. I highly recommend this place.“
“Best food in Austin….no question about it. I wish Google let me give 10 stars. This was the best meal I’ve ever had in my life and I like to consider myself a food snob. Along with the exceptional quality of food, Phil provided exceptional service. We got a bottle of wine and didn’t refill our own glass once (on a packed night nonetheless) Ask for Phil and you’ll have a taste of a Luxury dining experience.P.s. get the a crab cake. Thank me later“
“Had such a great experience at Caroline’s Upstairs. Bartender Uly helped make two very special custom drinks for my friend’s bachelorette celebration. Uly also helped get us all the ice shots we needed to ring the bell!! Great vibe, live DJ music, and friendly staff/patrons. Highly recommend for all ages groups.“
“Food & atmosphere were so great - I love the dog polaroid wall, even before trying the food I could tell right away that this was my kind of establishment.Madi served us and she was AMAZING, she was such a sweet person and made our whole experience so fun. Whoever is in charge over there, make sure to give your girl Madi some praise because that is a 5 Star team member right there.“
“Jamya was our server, and she was truly AMAZING. Seldomly do you go somewhere where the waitress is so positive, attentive, and knowledgeable of the menu, but she knocked it out of the park. Great food, great atmosphere, but the BEST server!“
“What an experience!! This place deserves all of the hype and is definitely worth every penny!! My boyfriend surprised me with dinner here for our anniversary, and the staff went above and beyond to make it such a magical and memorable night!!We started with some champagne, and then got the “nice spice” and another cocktail I don’t remember the name of but they were delicious and had so manny different flavor profiles.We ordered two of the warm crab tarts and they were delightful. My boyfriend ordered the halibut and it came with this smoked butter sauce that was absolutely to die for. I ordered the 8oz dry aged wagyu steak, it was so amazing, who knew you could pack so much flavor into a meal! We will definitely be back and will recommend to all of our familly and friends! Can’t wait to come back!! Thank you to the entire Hestia staff!!“
“Saw this place walking by while day drinking on SoCo. We spotted the bar and went in. Our bartender Sydney was incredible. She made us very good drinks and was amazing company. She was working harder than anyone I’ve seen making all drinks in the bar. Without Sydney our experience would have been diminished.“
“We made a pit stop at the Salty Sow on our way from the airport to Georgetown, TX for the ellipse viewing. Nothing was disappointing. From the shrimp hush puppies to the duck fat fries and the charcuterie board, no morsel of food was spared. Our party of 6 including 4 year old toddlers also sampled burgers, the shaved beef sandwich and the tacos and everything came out quick, fresh and delicious. We saved the best for last with the raspberry pound cake. I'm a true Southern girl and I normally don't try pound cake unless it's made from my kitchen. But this one was worth it ... They didn't cut corners with Sara Lee. Lol.I'd definitely give this place another go when I return to Austin. Food was amazing, ambience was wonderful and the service was superb.Kid-friendliness: We were seated outside which has table top seating which might not be as great for kids who are just really learning how to balance themselves outside of. High chair. My for year olds did fine but just something to not.“
“"Cypress Grill is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, the inviting atmosphere sweeps you away. The decor is charming, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. But the real star of the show is the food. Every dish bursts with flavor and freshness, showcasing the chef's mastery of Louisiana cuisine. Whether you're indulging in their perfectly seasoned seafood or savoring their mouthwatering Cajun classics, every bite is a culinary delight. Plus, the portions are generous, ensuring you leave satisfied every time. Cypress Grill is truly a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Southern hospitality and delicious, comforting fare."“
“4/1/24We dined at around 7:30 P.M., and we enjoyed some very interesting food!Our waiter was very nice and informative.We got a bit intrigued by the salmon egg mayonnaise appetizer, so we ordered it. Although it was 'interesting' to see and try...we had no idea that it was prepared with salmon eggs on top of the devil egged concoction. The burst of salmon egg with the somewhat boiled egg...was not a favorable appetizer. We would NEVER suggest it. 1/10 (the one rating comes from the good mayo)The fish meal on the menu was REALLY GOOD! The buttery sauce that is generously given on the plate the pan-seared fish was placed on top of really made this meal exceptional. The preparation of it was great. I wish there were more food on the plate, though (or that a good bread accompanied it). 10/10 RATING!My dinner friend ordered the pork chops with the cabbage slice. I would rate that pretty low, though. The cabbage slice was grilled, and some of it was grilled too much to enjoy.You MUST TRY THE BEET SALAD!!!! IT IS SOOOO DELICIOUS!!! 10/10 RATING!!The cheese board for a dessert was great, too... The cheese selected and the jelly was delectable.The tea that is used tastes really good.The ART WORK in the restaurant is pretty and joyful to see! Our waiter allowed us to look at the book that was prepared on each artist that has art exhibited in the restaurant. You would enjoy reading about them IF you have the time.“
“Fantastic service, staff and unique brunch selections. Our server Akiya was a superstar! She was so friendly and had great suggestions.We had the chicken biscuit and it was delicious! The staff are a well oiled machine and had a great experience. Highly recommend!“
“I just moved in to town, and this was the first time I was able to eat out and I have zero regrets. The burger was so flavorful and not in a way where it’s just grease and seasonings. The cooks took care of this burger ?!! The staff is also super welcoming and actually interacted with us which in a burger spot is so welcoming in my opinion 10/10“
“A little noisy and crowded, but consistently one of my favorite brunch spots in Austin. Awesome food and drinks with great service. The yelp waitlist is amazing. Parking can be a little tricky. My favorite items are the mimosas, Vietnamese coffee, and fried chicken biscuit breakfast.“
“The avocado toast was absolutely amazing. Tyler, my server, was incredibly helpful when I couldn't choose between three other equally delicious menu items. The strawberry mint mojito was exceptional. I opted to sit indoors and found the atmosphere to be both peaceful and lively, perfect for people-watching. I'll definitely be returning again.“
“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“
“I've never walked outside a restaurant smiling so much, the food was instagram worthy, my server Cameron was extremely helpful and attentive, all of my allergies were catered to. Even after eating you feel energetic and light because the food is so healthy. Cocktails are amazing I would definitely come back and bring friends !P.S. K was so funny when she dropped our cocktail off.P.P.S. Take lots of instagram pics and tag the Well. They will add you to there story.“
“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!“
“Simply divine! Everything from the cocktails and dishes to the attentive waitstaff, even to the decorations was incredible. There wasn't a single thing I ate that I wouldn't recommend (and I ate a lot! ?) I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Austin. A big thank you to the whole team that made our dinner exceptional. Worth every penny!“
“We were debating leaving the hotel for dinner. I'm so glad we didn't because the food here is amazing. I'm so thankful they were gracious enough to accommodate us arriving near closing time. As a whiskey gal, the Summertime Old Fashioned was made very well. I loved the Blue Crab & Artichoke Dip. Very flavorful. The Chile-Glazed Organic Chicken was delicious. I'd love to know how they perfected the crisp. ? And the Gulf Shrimp and Grits was very tasty. I loved their spin on it with the charred corn and it was very rich. I'll definitely be back!“
“We haven't had a meal this good in a while!Simple perfection. Incredible execution. I'll be dreaming of the smokey sourdough, and whoever says that? One of the few times when your expectations are exceeded. The only qualm I had with the experience was that the lighting was so low (which I liked), that the pictures didn't come out well. Finally, the two of us ate and drank deliciously made cocktails (let Ethan make one up for you!), all that, AND a generous tip, for less than $200!“
“I have been coming here for dinner and brunch since it’s inception and it doesn’t matter what day and what time, orwhether it is crowded or not, whether you sit inside or out, the standard of excellence is held up each time. Every time rather.“
“In town from TN for a wedding and saw lots of recommendations for this spot. Easy street parking, waited around 15min in line outside at noon on a Thursday. Best bite was definitely the sliced brisket sandwich - super juicy brisket with tasty pickles and onions on top. Split a side of pickles, potato salad, and Mac n cheese which were good but not life changing. Rotating frozen cocktails were tasty and they have lots of bar offerings. Bonus was a server taking drink orders while we waited in line! Definitely recommend this as a lunch spot on your Austin travels.Parking: Lots of available free street parking“
“Garrison at the Fairmont Hotel exceeds expectations. The food delivers , the flavor profile of Texas BBQ delivered as a fine dining experience. The wood burning cooking really takes everything up a notch . The setting is hip & the service impeccable.?❤️“
“We absolutely enjoyed our brunch at June's! We were lucky enough to have been able to get a table outside because the inside tables were all reserved. We were immediately seated when we got there and we were attended to right away. We started our meal with the croquets that sat on aioli sauce. They were delicious! Our main entrees consisted of the appetizing board which had a bagel with caramelized onions, smoked salmon, wasabi cream cheese, watercress and capers. The other was the Croque Madam which was an omelette filled with ham, Gruyère and a side of mixed greens with lemon vinaigrette dressing. We pretty much polished our meal. This is a place I'd highly recommend based on our experience.“
“I was on my way out of Austin when I had just the right amount of time to indulge on a breakfast. Boy was my belly happy to leave Texas with this as my last meal. I ordered the fried chicken with the biscuit and the biscuit was so perfectly done. The chicken crispy (and felt like more skin than meat but as a whole it was still good) and although it didn't come with it, I dipped mine in the hot sauce that the empeñada came with and it was delicious. The empeñada was yummy and the deep fried hash brown muffin concoction is pretty epic. Our server was 10/10 loved her energy and recommendations. She was all the things we need in the service industry and grateful we had her! All in all, if I'm back in Austin, I'd definitely make a pit stop here again!“
“I went to French Quarter Grille yesterday for the first time, the food was great, the service was adaquate and the prices were moderate, while it's nice to have a Cajun restaurant in my neck of the woods (Northeast Austin) it's unfortunately not one of the best Cajun restaurants I've been to.“
“Really friendly service and very knowledgeable about celiac/what is required to avoid cross contamination.Really great breakfast/brunch spot. The corned beef skillet and the spuds deluxe are to die for.Very loud place.Great spot for celiacs.“
“The menu celebrates the rich culinary traditions of the South, with dishes like fried chicken and shrimp and grits stealing the show. Each bite is a comforting embrace of flavors, made even more delightful by the elegant surroundings and attentive service.“
“Some of the best food in Austin! You have to try this place. The flavors are amazing! The chefs are artists. The staff is friendly and engaging. They really care about your dining experience. Our waiter, Greg, was fantastic! (Pictured below). Ask for him and you won’t be sorry. We had the Gorgonzola ravioli, pimento cheese dip, and the Texas fried shrimp. ( also pictured below). I’ve had fried shrimp many times but what they serve here is hands down the best I’ve ever had! I hated pimento cheese, but can’t stop eating it here. Even their sides are delicious. Check it out! You won’t be disappointed.“
“I really liked this place. Vibe of the bars from my native city in Eastern Europe. If you want to drink and eat for low money and high pleasure, just visit this bar. Service is on top also. Bartender recommended cocktails to me exactly to my taste!“
“As an avid fan of delicious food, it's hard not try these extravaganza of flavor options. Also they're open late and quality is always high. The visits I made were during SXSW at the busiest peaks and they still brought fantastic service. I don't think there's much anyone could do in that atmosphere of waves of customers... It's just very very busy. Get in, get on it, get out full.“
“I dropped by for lunch with the wife. Line was long but moved pretty quickly. Staff is helpful and friendly. Food was amazing. Brisket and turkey was juicy and full of flavor. Ribs are tender and seasoned well. Street corn has a little kick and mac n cheese is super cheesy. Potato salad was good as well. We will definitely be dropping by again.“
“Stopped in at 11 am and only waited about 5 minutes for a table. Friendly service from the host and server Sharon. I ordered the special omelette stuffed with carne guisada and it came topped with queso. The carne guisada tasted more like shredded beef, but it was still very tasty and the breakfast potatoes were very good too. I asked for a side of salsa and that added more flavor on top.I also ordered the banana pecan pancakes, but they weren't moist or fluffy at all. They tasted kind of like boxed pancake mix and they were thin, dry, and a bit overcooked. Definitely not the worst, but I wouldn't order it again.The patio is nice, but sit outside at your own risk lol. There's a few bird thieves that will snatch the eggs and potatoes right off your plate while you're eating.I enjoyed it overall and will go back again in the future.“
“Bacon is great. Takes way too long to get beverages. Waiter took the orders for 3 other tables after ours before getting coffee and water.We almost walked out.Inefficient and disorganized.Many tables were empty so it wasn't too busy.Finally a different waitress had to get our drinks.Your food is too good to have poor service.Go to Camino Real to see the best service in Austin.“
“This was genuinely the best food I've ever eaten. It was fresh and perfectly cooked I couldn't find anything to critique. If you go I promise it's the best meal of your life dude. And the two dudes who cook are super cool and will talk to you and recommend stuff amazing cooks.“
“We decided to stop here to do some sort of activity on our vacation and it quickly became the highlight or our trip. We booked ahead of time and got a nice room that we shared with one other group, it was the perfect mix between going out but not being overwhelmed by the crowds. The drinks were amazing, the food was tasty and great for sharing.We were pleasantly surprised by the replays and pictures that we received while we were playing. Countless memories were made that day, I couldn’t recommend going to this place more, 10/10 experience!“
“Best Damn burger on 6th Street!!!! Love their selection. You can even swap out burger for chicken to change it up a bit. They occasionally have off menu items at the order stations. Get the Chicken Skewers!!! Tasted like it was marinated in yellow curry and grilled, then drizzled with teriyaki! It was amazing! Be open to telling you off! That's how you know you've got the best burgers in town! They don't have to be nice to you, you'll keep coming back for the ¾ lbs burgers and thick cut fries!Forget Hop Doddy, Mighty Fine or whatever burgers you like. This is the best!!!Open a tab. It'll be faster. They don't have Apple Pay or anything fancy like that. Give em cash or card.“
“I was looking for something healthy. I’m glad I stumbled upon this place. Love the vibe inside and outside. The thunder storm rolling in only added to the ambience. I had the Brussels and grilled chicken salad that is currently their specials. The Thai Brussels were stupid good. 10/10 recommend.“
“I came back for dinner haha. And wow chefs kiss for everything. Service, food and vibes were all stellar! Me and my bf shared the mussels, pork belly and truffle fries and we honestly can't stop thinking about it. We also shared a bottle of wine that I felt wasn't outrageously priced. I wish I got pictures but we got caught up in the moment. Would def recommend for a dinner date“
“This place provides a top notch dining experience for foodies. Top notch service, cuisine, and atmosphere. The wine selection is extensive may just be a bit of an understatement…Wow! Do yourself a favor and go enjoy a meal with them sometime.“
“I had the 1, 7 and 10. All fantastic! This is the only place open, in the domain, after 2 am that serves great food at great prices. The tacos are on flour tortillas and none of them disappoint. I haven't been to the other locations, or the kids meals...but this is definitely the go-to Saturday night in the “
“I've been back for brunch and dinner on numerous occasions. Brunch is still terrific whether it's the Benny or the zucchini bread or the popovers or... Burger is big and juicy. We've never had a bad fish. Done holiday take out too. It's fun to sit at the counter and watch the kitchen action. The prices remain reasonable. Enjoyed sitting outside for a change.“
“1883 Cafe and Bakery offers an unforgettable dining experience with its delectable dishes and cozy ambiance. The migas are a savory delight, while the avocado toast is a modern classic elevated to perfection. Don't miss out on their indulgent dirty chai lattes, a warm hug in a cup. With impeccable service and attention to detail, 1883 Cafe and Bakery sets the standard for excellence.“
“What a pleasant surprise to enter the new space of Josephines kitchen, the service very friendly, the food delicious (the photos of the menu do not do it justice) my recommendation is the Cuban cake although the eggs Benedict cough with barbecue are not far behind, super recommended“
“I initially was skeptical about the establishment because of the weird ingredients in their menu items. Wouldn't have gone to the establishment had it not been the location selected for an upcoming girls night with friends. Went in with the mindset that I would be recommending a venue change for girls night. Staff was friendly and server had good suggestions. I was impressed that the drinks were ordered initially weren't short on alcohol though the 2nd drinks weren't good. Food was actually really good and would be a great place for brunch. We won't be changing the venue for girls night and I would definitely go back.“
“Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this place. Food was delicious and flavorful. Favorites: Pullman bread (pictured), linguini, and fried cauliflower. Loved the South Austin Iced Tea cocktail (chai) as well!Service was great. Emma was super attentive, patient, and gave great recs.Atmosphere was lovely too!“
“Very popular venue with great burgers/sandwiches, other comfort foods, fries, onion rings, shakes, and sodas.Parking: Easy, on-site parking lotKid-friendliness: Very family friendly, with a clean kid's play area, great warmth from patrons and staff, with a definitive sense of inclusion for all present.Wheelchair accessibility: Can be crowded, as it's popular, however, accommodations are readily available, and the environment is thoughtfully accessible for anyone in need of extra space or gentle slopes to ramp to wherever needed.“
