Located inside the newly transformed Hotel Ella, this place focuses on locally-driven, seasonal menu showcasing the best from Texas purveyors.
This restaurant provides casual fine dining by the lake. The Armadillo eggs, served with a jalapeño ranch dipping sauce, are stuffed with house-smoked pulled pork. There are salads and sandwiches for lunch, and seafood and meat entrees for dinner.
Bearing a Western minimalism ethos inside and a laid-back, dog-and-kid-friendly patio outside, this neighborhood favorite serves delicious fried chicken among a menu of salads, sandwiches, and rice bowls.
Whether you're looking for a trivia night, a live band, the coolest karaoke rooms in town celebrating every geeky thrill from Super Mario to cinematic Satanism, or just a post-film drink, this bar and event space attached to the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar movie theatre is just the ticket.
This locally sourced grocer and cafe is drawing a lot of new fans. Try their Raw Bar for their fresh oysters, or go with their daily specials for ingredients in season.
At this welcome South Austin branch of the venerable neighborhood institution, the coziness of the original is replaced with a sleek sensibility. The menu is identical, it includes the legendary fries.
They have modernized the menu here over the years, but the comfort food stalwarts still hold center stage. The Reuben sandwich is one of the best in town. Bright bacon collard greens, loaded mashed potatoes, and Wom Kim's legendary peach pudding are still boss.
Get in there for those holiday specials while they last. You can have an international pancake experience 24 hours a day!
