Olivia SlutskyDecember 5, 2017Crispy Brussel sprout leaves are a must, grits, and chicken thighs with fried mash were delicious. Happy hour until 6:30 PM, drinks go from $8 to $6. Try the curly tail with the jalapeño ice cubes.Upvoted Mar 6
AmateurConciergeMarch 8, 2020Like the best elevated bar food? Really good chicken. Brussels leaves a bit too light/why just serve the leaves? Solid margs. Mac n cheese was the best I had in yearsUpvoted Apr 27
Austin ChronicleMay 27, 2013Barn chic, with a pleasant atmosphere, nice for a special evening out with friends. The gems on the menu dwell in the vegetables category: Brussels sprouts, fried smashed potatoes, and glazed turnips. Read more
Eliza ChangJuly 10, 2014Pastrami-cured salmon with pickled red onions and creme fraiche is amazing. The Brussels sprouts taste like candy. This is not a bad thing. It's also not a healthy thing. Overall amazing: just go!
Serious EatsFebruary 27, 2013110 Minute Egg & Smoked Pork Hock: Cheesy polenta topped with chopped smoked ham hocks and a perfectly slow-cooked egg. Green speckled parmesan basil sauce smothers the egg for additional richness.
@cobihAugust 5, 2016Everything is good here. No, I'm serious, even the Brussel sprouts is to die for. Go during happy hour if you can, most drinks and food are inexpensive during that time. Best foods I've had in Austin.
Dfw DeanMarch 26, 2016Great food, very busy and popular so make reservations.Duck fat fries, Grits, Brussel sprouts leaves, deviled eggs and boudin fritters shared with others worked for us.
Chris JobesJanuary 18, 2020This is the type of place you can’t go wrong at. Farm to table everything. None in filets and short rib special we’re incredible. A+
Savanna PratkaJune 16, 2013This is seriously my new fav. restaurant in ATX! From the surprising perfect rosemary piglet drink to a great blackened redfish to the incredible banana fosters beignets-excited to go back to try more
SteveDecember 8, 2015Surprisingly good service. All the food is over the top. A must on the Austin cuisine scene! Duck fat fries are stupid good. Reasonably priced wines. Love the ambiance.
Jackie MannOctober 24, 2016The drinks were great here, I had a hard time choosing from all the appealing options! It's a little pricey but not bad just for one or two drinks and a split appetizer.
Brook ShelleyAugust 7, 2014Ridiculously amazing happy hour specials, and speed of service. It's really crowded though. Great food for a romantic evening too. Get the green eggs and ham and duck fat fries.
Sam DJune 1, 2015A decadent menu and fabulous happy hour specials including pork belly tacos with a fried egg 😍
Divya MulanjurOctober 3, 2016The happy hour prices are incredible, esp for the quantity! The charcuterie was good. The duck fat fries and devilled eggs were excellent. The fried chicken was good too.
Tara G.November 26, 2012Didn't love pork belly, but collards that come with it are fab. Braised pork was great. Loved all charcuterie - particularly chicken liver pâté. Butterscotch boudino dessert was lovely! Amazing staff.
Chris EdwardsNovember 3, 2012The crispy brussel sprouts are tasty. Even my husband who doesn't like brussel sprouts enjoyed them. Crispy chicken thighs and pork blade steak were both delish. We had top notch service as well.
Susan ZochJanuary 23, 2017The pork belly is great really flavorful. I had the chicken thighs and they were good but there was so much more flavor in the pork belly it was hard to beat.
Jordan BoblettMarch 30, 2016Candied pork belly is amazing! We are only in town for 3 days and chose to eat here twice just for that dish!
Sheyla ConcepcionMarch 8, 2016One of my favorite places in Austin. If you see the poutine on the menu, get it. You won't regret it.
Where Red House Pizza was. Southern, pig-centric food. We had a cheddar cheese biscuit and pulled pork gravy special that was delicious. Blue-cheese stuffed pickled okra in the martinis - great idea.
Belinda KathrynNovember 30, 2014Loved the special lamb pot pie and the pork medallions. Duck fat fries were INSANELY amazing. All drinks were great (charlottes Webb was my fav!)
The pork butt and the red blackened redfish were incredible. Definitely get the Brussels sprouts too. Great drinks and friendly service to boot!
Melanie LongJanuary 14, 2021One of the best happy hours in Austin! (4-6PM) The deviled eggs are a MUST try 🤤
Matthew SpectorMarch 20, 2015Brilliant, pitch-perfect farm to table in Austin. Go for the duck fat fries and crisp chicken thughs. Chocolate truffle dessert is decadent.
Erin GJune 9, 2017Absolutely incredible atmosphere, food, and staff. Chris was more than accommodating. Happy hour deals are legit as well, every day from 4:30-6:30!
Rachelle KingFebruary 25, 2013Gluten-free options here! Know the owners and they are on the up & up on gluten-free dining & cross contamination! Just make sure to let your server know

Vicente LozanoSeptember 1, 2013Happy hour is a good deal here. Go with the duck fat fries as a base, also the deviled eggs. Any pork you lay on top of that, all good.
Christine HaDecember 30, 2016Great happy hour: get Brussels sprout leaves, duck fat fries & fried chicken with biscuit. Creative cocktails with heavy pour. Great service. 🍟🍗🍺
Justin BrodnaxAugust 11, 2017The pork belly was awesome also two thumbs up for the bananas foster beignets. Service was great. I'll be back.- James BatesNovember 11, 2016Good atmosphere and cooking. Beef shoulder excellent. And try the Liberation IPA.
Julia RobersonJanuary 19, 2016Great happy hour and cocktails. Love their truffled deviled eggs. Everything I've tried has been delicious.
Amanda DennisMay 21, 2017The food is amazing. They take several dishes and twist them. The atmosphere is great. Highly recommend.
Lars PlougmannApril 15, 2014Go off menu and order a cheese board if you need an alternative to the sweet desserts. It comes with five delicious cheeses + bread.
Yuni GrahamFebruary 15, 2018AMAZING FOOD. Had the beef shoulder it literally fell apart in my mouth. Definitely go here!
Logan FountainSeptember 15, 2014The charcuterie plate was very hit and miss. Fried green tomatoes were okay, the dressings were better than the tomato. Beef shoulder was just like granny made it. Pork belly was to die for.
Nan BozemanJuly 14, 2015The chicken liver mousse and pickled onions are the best liver and onions application EVER
Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013Let me tell you something about happy-hour pork belly tacos... I actually don't have much to say other than you should probably get some happy-hour pork belly tacos.
Micah FernandesFebruary 21, 2016I've known these guys since they started this place back in '11 or '12. Everything is good here, especially the service! So please TIP WELL.
Max WennekerJune 27, 2016All the cocktails were fantastic. Try the pork belly taco sans egg or the pork belly dish.
Grace LeeNovember 25, 2012Happy Hour is amazing. Plenty of appetizers and drinks for $4. Then the rest of the appetizers and drinks are $2 off from 4:30-6:30. This place is so delicious!
Order something with pork in it. It will be the tastiest piece of pork you ever eat.
Meghan BrindleyNovember 11, 2013can't beat Sunday happy hour, or a Blanche, the duck fat fries, fried chicken, eggplant fries...who am I kidding, everything is awesome here!
JenniferAugust 28, 2012The large communal table in the back room gets snatched up almost immediately. Groups over 6, be prepared to come exactly at 4:30 for Happy Hour.
Joshua GarzaJanuary 19, 2014HH is amazing. Great drinks! The brussel sprouts, chicken liver mousse, and truffled deviled eggs are way to go.
Tiffany PinkstonFebruary 6, 2016The pastrami salmon, chicken liver mousse, salmon rillette, and bananas foster beignets were delicious.
Nick BartoloneMarch 25, 2021The candied pork belly, charcuterie and beignets were the highlights.
