Mike Winston: Everything at this unique restaurant is absolutely incredible. Hard to go wrong, but don't miss the Pretzel, Lamb Sausage, Ceviche, and Goat Confit. Read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below! Read more.
Eater: This gourmet, small plates trailer is changing the way Austinites think about food trucks. The upscale truck changes its menu daily, so check their website. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Eater: Odd Duck features a huge open kitchen and lots of homey touches like mismatched plates and country kitsch on the walls. Check out the chicken fried egg, kholrabi soup, and the whole roast chicken.

Giancarlo Kerg: Great healthy and tasty food for affordable price. Very friendly service. Not all hope is lost for US eating culture ;)
Reese Walling: Corn pizza and chef’s bowl are insane. Salmon Caesar was bland, missing listed ingredients, and overall atrocious.
William Pomerantz: A good place for a healthy meal (nice to fit one of those in between all the BBQ feasts!)

Tim Hettler: It'll be tough to decide which 3 of the seasonal, locally sourced menu items you want. Don't skip the bread course, and arrive early enough to enjoy a glass of wine on their outdoor patio.
Boris Jones: Intimate, rustic spot with a chill vibe. The menu is top notch, seasonal and locally sourced. Check it here: http://supper.mx/places/lenoir-austin/
Becca Smith: Make a reservation at least a week in advance for a party larger than 4. Amazing culinary experience, worth the extra effort to plan in advance!!
B W: Awesome happy hour. Try their variation on a Moscow Mule. Tasty food, incredible outdoor patio. Definitely check this place out on a nice day. Expensive off of the happy hour menu.
Eric Love: This place is ranch to table and really delicious! I would totally recommend the cheeseburger. Found this gem on Supper: http://supper.mx/places/jacobys-austin/
Brian Nunnery: Lovely atmosphere! Amazing service. $2-4 overpriced across the board; overall experience felt contrived, but should improve as things mature. Will be back.

Justin Martin: Octopus is OUTSTANDING, poke was to die for, steamed mussels flavors married well together, crudo was delicate w/ attention to flavor profiles. I’ve been 3 times, 2nd fav restaurant in town!
Frankie M: book the speakeasy for a private party - cool ambience.
Saleem: Great ambiance, service, and food. The bone-in ribeye with housemade chimichurri was best, along with the venison and off-menu meatballs.
Everett Swain: Man I LOVED this place. Ordered the classic burger with bacon and avocado! Atmosphere, drinks, and food were AMAZING. The whiskey sour and the Whiskey Buck are great drinks to kick off the night
B Jones: Nothing like a table for 2 and a Bulleit Old Fashioned with a Blackened Ribeye
Alex Gonzalez: Great chimichurri chicken

Austin Chronicle: What started as a supper club has grown into a full-fledged bistro with limited menus that change frequently. Solid farm-to-table, Cali-Med fare, and ideal for the neighborhood. Read more.
Eater: This longtime Austin restaurant and bakery has recently expanded and remodeled its space. They're also getting serious about coffee, and continue to make artisan breads and pastries in house. Read more.
Social News Network: The smell is divine! Perfect place to have a very casual meeting over a delicious cup of coffee. Order a bran muffin and enjoy the art work on the walls.
