"Bryce Gilmore delivers exactly what one expects from the Austin chef: one of the most pleasurable dining experiences in the city. The casual-leaning Lone Star restaurant exudes a Texas-forever vibe with New American dishes (cornbread with beer cheese), magnificent entrees (fried quail stuffed with goat chorizo), and on-point desserts. Curbside pickup orders can be placed online, and the restaurant has reopened for reservations-only indoor and patio dine-in services."
"New restaurants are popping up all over town, and a number of our local chefs are being celebrated as some of the best in the country. If you need help narrowing down the ever-growing list of places to enjoy excellent food in Austin, start with these 50 local restaurants!. From casual classics to upscale newcomers, this list runs the gamut of great food in our city."
"Odd Duck first opened as a food truck in 2009 intending to serve only local Austin ingredients|Courtesy of Odd Duck. Originally a ‘Farm-to-Trailer’ food truck, Odd Duck is admirably eco-conscious. Odd Duck topped off the Growers Alliance of Central Texas list as one of the most frequent buyers for local farm foods."
"Counter Cafe isn’t anything novel but they serve some of the best breakfast and brunch in Austin!. It’s a must try if you’re in the area and we are never disappointed by the food here. We’ve mentioned them before for their delicious burger (on my list of 15 best burgers in Austin) and the breakfast is at the same caliber of quality and deliciousness."
"Counter Cafe was once the site of my brother’s birthday celebration. I’m not sure how we all fit into the original location, a former 1950s diner with limited space. But we toasted him and all other good things in this world, with pancakes."
"Counter Cafe is known for its farm-to-table cuisine like the breakfast tacos with organic eggs, southern poached eggs with stone ground artisan cheese grits, crab cake benedict, and bottomless local coffee."
"5520 Burnet Rd #100 | The PeachedTortilla combines bold Asian flavors with subtle southern ties to provide a truly unique dining experience. Since owner Eric Silverstein launched the first food truck in 2010, the brand has since expanded to a full-service catering operation, a brick-and-mortar restaurant, an event space and has even expanded with a spin-off restaurant, Bar Peached. Enjoy unique and comforting dishes like their kimchi arancini balls; Hainan chicken; bowls of noodles, rice as well as tacos, and burger specials."
"It’s a tried-and-true Austin story: the Southern-Asian food truck became so popular, owner Eric Silverstein was able to open a slightly more upscale physical restaurant version in Allandale, dishing out an expanded menu full of comfort food items pulling from his background. There’s the kimchi arancini balls; the comforting Hainan chicken; plus an array of tacos, salads, and bowls of noodles and rice. Pickup and delivery orders can be placed online, and the restaurant has reopened for indoor and patio dine-in services."
"Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account. A post shared by The Peached Tortilla (@peachedtortilla) on Dec 30, 2018 at 4:19pm PST. The Peached Tortilla is another must-visit for those travelling to Austin, Texas."
"Juan In A Million’s Don Juan El Taco Grande is the best breakfast deal in town – a secret combination of potato, egg, bacon, and cheese in a deliciously hot tortilla for only $6.25. 2300 E Cesar Chavez St,"
"Everything’s bigger in Texas, and this taco is no exception. Juan in a Million’s ginormous breakfast taco brings people from all over the country to their East Austin location."
"After a terrible kitchen fire closed Forthright Cafe for several months, this reopened bright and airy spot is a nice choice for a weekday lunch or weekend brunch. The plant-strong restaurant is also open for dinner from Wednesday to Friday. While not strictly vegetarian, Forthright always offers a good variety of loaded veggie bowls with ingredients like roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, fried Brussels sprouts, avocado, kale, and beets."
"This beautiful downtown cafe is one of my favorite spots for both weekday breakfast AND weekend brunch. I love their beautiful Benedicts, breakfast sandwiches, chicken and waffles, pork belly hash, and breakfast pastries. Oh, and they have an excellent coffee program!"
"Forthright is back and built for daytime weekday dining, with offerings like topped toasts, bagels, soups, salads, bowls, and sandwiches."
"You'll find: French-inspired griddled sandwiches—created by a husband-and-wife team—that you’ll be dreaming about long after the meal’s over (which is probably the reason the Food Network’s Guy Fieri came to visit). You should try: The Cow, a banh mi-style sandwich featuring smoked brisket, or The Vegetable, which pairs falafel with roasted mozzarella (or try one of their three new specials each day). __________________________________"
"A post shared by Welcome to My Carb-Filled Life (@girlsgottagrub) on Jun 14, 2020 at 8:15am PDT. At this food trailer, you'll find creative sandwiches and daily specials. Guy tried The Korean Rabbit, with rabbit meat, tater tots, kimchi, Sriracha and Luke's secret sauce, calling it "the bomb." Luke's also serves Sunday brunch."
"The South Lamar trailer offers all sorts of griddled sandwiches, like brisket banh mi, Sichuan chicken, and more. To-go orders can be placed over the phone or in person. View this post on Instagram"
"This unassuming Burnet Road mom-and-pop has a cult-like following and it only takes one trip there to see why. Their hearty breakfast and brunch menu covers all the bases: French toast, pancakes, tacos, omelettes, hashes, migas, and so much more. If your crew has a big appetite, go large with one of their family-sized platters and a half gallon (yes, you read that right) of their proprietary Pacha latte."
"On weekends the line to order at this Burnet Road restaurant and coffee shop is out the door, but don’t let that intimidate you. The breakfast tacos and butter-laden pancakes produced by this tiny kitchen are worth the wait. While you’re in the queue, sit on the back or front patios, sip a signature Pacha latte (hot or iced), and watch as the neighborhood regulars pile in."
"You can't throw a drumstick without finding a food trailer in Austin, but Biscuits and Groovy, located in the heart of one of the city's most walkable and family-friendly neighbourhoods, is one of the few specialising in breakfast. Run by a vegan who originally didn't offer any meat products, the menu has expanded to include bacon, sausage and traditional white gravy. But if you're looking for a meat-free take on biscuits and gravy, this is the place – the vegan Bootlegger Brown Ale version is a little on the sweet side, though."
"When in the South, it’s impossible not to think of biscuits and gravy when the topic of breakfast comes up. There’s just something about a freshly baked biscuit smothered in a savory gravy and topped with gooey cheese that sends shivers up the spines of Southerners. Luckily, Biscuits and Groovy is all about this iconic combo."
"5015 Duval St (North Austin) 1210 Barton Springs (South Austin). Food Truck, Covered Outdoor Seating, Comfort Food, Only Open till 2 pm. Anything on the menu at Biscuits and Groovy can be made vegan, just ask."
"If you’re looking for the ideal venue for your next special occasion, you can’t go far wrong with Freda’s Seafood Grille. The elegant decor may be old school sophisticated, but there’s nothing stuffy about the friendly, welcoming service, the warm, cozy ambiance, and a menu that pairs classic Southern-style dishes with the kind of light, innovative touch that’s guaranteed to please. For a meal you’ll remember, try the signature Freda’s Crab Cake for starters and the Blackened Red Snapper served with Crawfish étouffée, rice, and sautéed green beans for mains, before rounding off the meal with a sumptuous White Chocolate Bread Pudding."
"Freda’s Seafood Grille specializes in seafood with a southern cooking style, which helps differentiate it from most seafood restaurants in the area. It’s an upscale establishment and features a comprehensive menu that should satisfy most palates. Some delicacies that are worth trying include their crab stuffed mushrooms, lobster roll, and shrimp and crawfish etouffee."
"Patrick Terry redefined fast food in Austin with his emphasis on high-quality ingredients handled with care. This means non-scary beef, carefully sourced potatoes, and made-from-scratch veggie burgers."
"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants Bouldin. Californians love their In-N-Out, and Austinites love their P."
"When you’re finished with your $2.60, 100% all-natural Black Angus cheeseburger, use the change to buy a milkshake and stave off hunger."
"Also known as “The Velv,” this comedy club on Austin’s famous 6th Street was opened in March 1988. After seeing the success of Esther’s Follies, Michael Shelton purchased the closed down Embassy Room with a plan to create a new comedy club that was unlike any of the others in Austin. Comics like Jana Williams, Vanessa Kaufman, and Brian Malow were just a few of the many to perform stand-up routines in the early days of The Velveeta Room."
"The Velveeta Room, also lovingly referred to as The Velv, is an intimate, laugh-filled room featuring stand-up comedy and open mic nights. Local and touring comics perform in the cozy atmosphere where the standards are high. The Velv might be the most important stage for Austin comics to develop their material in front of fellow comics, so you can guarantee you’ll be getting the best of the best."
