Hello There,
I am always traveling, and so many new places pop up all the time. I can't ever find anything good on yelp either because people leave such crazy reviews haha! I was just wondering where folks liked to eat? Perhaps I might try something new, somewhere new, when I'm on the road right?
Peace & Blessings,
Kelly512
My favorites:
Tex Mex: Chuys
Pizza: Via313
Steak: Capital Grill
Hamburgers: Dan’s
Seafood: Cafe Blue
BBQ: Salt Lick
Brunch: Moonshine Grill
Sushi: Haiku
So many great places to eat!
Enjoy!
+1 on Chuy's and Salt Lick
But if your travels take you to South Austin be sure to check out Valentino's on Manchaca. I'm not sure if their dining room is open yet, so it may still be carry out to the picnic tables, or take away if you prefer.
But if you want the best brisket and ribs that Austin has to offer, that's the place to go. It may be a bit of a drive, but well worth it.
I’ll second Moonshine for brunch and Chuy’s for Texmex!
Thanks Mark and Nikki for your endorsements. I am heavily biased toward south Austin. I live here, love here, work here, eat here and hobby here. Of course, no offense to those of you that prefer north. You probably hate driving south as much as I hate driving north.
But I digress.
I wanted to mention some additional favorites...
TexMex: Flores, Torchy’s, Matt’s, Trudy’s
Brunch: Cafe Blue Hill Country Galleria
Pizza: Pieous
Thai: Aroi
I’m getting hungry!
Kelly, despite your travels, you’re an Austin girl right? What are YOUR favorites?
For Mexican I love El Mercado or Enchiladas y mas. For Pizza I like the Brick Oven. For dessert I like the Cheesecake Factory. Well, that pretty much sums up my diet:)
For BBQ - the County Line
Texmex - Chuy's but really only the Jalapeno ranch - it is like crack
Burgers - I have heard HopDoddy's is good but haven't tried it yet on my TDL

Chuys jalapeño ranch is addictive. My favorite dish there is the mexi Cobb salad. Best salad ever!Quote:

Oh I forgot - for the best BBQ go to the Salt Lick BBQ - it's the best ever - I go once a month myself - can't beat it:)
P Terry? really? https://www.southernliving.com/trave...-terrys-austin
Southie here! Well, will be when I move back permanently. P Terry’s is great for fast food burgers. Idk if they have them up north? Then again, I don’t know much about the north side! Lol.
I freakin love to go hang out at Trudy’s by myself outside. It makes me feel like I’m somewhere tropical. Food and drinks are great!
Top Notch Burgers on Burnet road is a nice little spot. Two of my favorite BBQ joints is La Barbecue on East Cesar Chavez & 12 Bones BBQ on South Congress.
Texmex: Casa Marias off south 1st n st elmo. Good food and pan de dulce. I been once to ZTejas and food was good on west 6th st. Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao and Estancia churrascaido.
Eddie V's, best restaurant in Austin!
How has no one mentioned Lucy's fried chicken, Stiles and switch bbq, Matt's le Rancho, or quality seafood? Close by in pflugerville is a fairly new sushi place called iron fish, amazing sushi.
I'm trying new places all the time, but these are my faves thus far:
Taco: One Taco (or Tyson's if I'm drunk & want to stick close to home)
Asian: Bun Belly & Kome
Late night vibe: Dive Bar & Dozen Street
Happy hour/study cocktails: Spider House
Sportsball viewing: B.D Riley's, but not the one downtown (Obvious choice being from New England)
+1 on Matt’s El Rancho and Eddie V’s!
Steak: Texas Cattle Co & Steiner Ranch Steakhouse
BBQ: Terry Black’s
Italian: Red Ash
Fried Chicken: Gus’s World Famous
Asian Fusion: Eastside King
What about desserts? :love_heart:
I’m going to Matt’s on Monday for happy hour. They make one of the best chili rellenos. If you order one, ask them to smother it in chopped pecans. Yum!
As for desserts, I recently had an excellent flan and sopapillas at Trudy’s.
Favorite restaurant in my city (San Antonio) is Sorrento Pizza & Restaurant. Small, intimate, family owned and operated. Have enjoyed it immensely for years. :rockon:
If any of you ladies are in town and want to go there please let me know in advance so I can plan. I would love to show it to you.
I'm shocked no one brought up Magnolia Cafe on SoCo.
Tex Mex is Amayas Taco Village. The Village Tacos rock. Trudy is nice though. I love La Barbeque for bbq. Good food in Austin
