Terry Black’s BBQ is hands down one of the most delicious experiences a person can have in their life. The moment the tray hit the table, I knew I was in for something special. The beef rib was massive, smoky, tender, and packed with flavor—the kind of BBQ that melts in your mouth. Every side was on point too: creamy mac and cheese, tangy coleslaw, roasted green beans, and that addicting creamed corn. Even the pickles and onions added the perfect bite between rich, smoky meats.

Yes, it’s expensive—I paid $108 for this tray—but honestly, the quality, portion, and unforgettable taste make it worth trying at least once. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience.

If you’re in Austin and love BBQ, Terry Black’s is an absolute must. Come hungry, be ready to splurge a little, and you’ll walk away saying it was worth every penny.

Awesome place to come and eat! Definitely a top spot for brisket lovers in Austin… The main advantage here is that the smokers are enormous and they practically never run out of brisket unlike other smaller venues. Even if you want a late afternoon brisket this is your place to go… Beware of the sides, as the portions are huge and sometimes you think you can eat more than you can actually do. Overall, good food, amazing atmosphere, and one of the best names for brisket in the Austin area.

A must go location to visit once you’re in Austin. Outdoor seating and great food! Delicious and great staff!
Atmosphere inside the building gets loud so be weary. People are in and out and foot traffic keeps coming. Most definitely a popular location and I can see why. Enjoy your meal and try out as much option as you can!

This place is amazing. If you go outside the birds with try to eat with you. I liked though. Everything we ordered was amazing check the pictures and videos top notch! Ribs 10/10 brisket 10/10 original sausage 10/10 macaroni and cheese 9/10 (need a little garlic for me) green beans 10/10 pinto beans 10/10 cornbread 10/10 cream corn 10/10 experience 10/10 no wait time 10/10 love this place I will be back. The pit master even allow me to come in and see the pits and briskets on the pit. He also gave me pointers

AMAZING

One word: Whoa!
It’s a crazy busy place with limited parking and a paid parking lot about two buildings away. It’s a place with 20 picnic tables and you can find it by looking for the yellow umbrellas outside. Due to the heat, we looked for seats inside.
After you enter you’ll find the staff are incredibly helpful and will ask if it’s your first time. You are guided to choose bottled drinks and then some sides at the first counter (see my picture of the sign) and we chose potato salad, whole string beans and a corn chowder type salad that was excellent. We stacked those on a standard high school lunch room platter and moved to the meat counter.

Here there are four or five “stations” with two staff members each. They are happy people who seem to love what they do. One guy was weighing our meat choices, answering our questions and ringing up while the other one was cutting up all the meats we chose.

We chose the beef brisket and ribs. While deciding, the cutter slid us some brisket ends to really push us on making good decisions 🙂 Once weighed, they rang up our meats and our sides and handed us our drink cups to self serve. Total was about $60 and while we didn’t stuff our faces, we both had enough to not take any home.
I smoke meats at home and proper brokering an easy one to get right. Their brisket was firm, moist and flavorful. Easily the best brisket I’ve had. It’s usually too salty or too firm for
me. Theirs was neither. It was excellent and I’ll be back. The ribs were of similar quality and fell off the bone. They weren’t too firm and not too mushy either. Excellent flavor and really great. Sweet and tangy and we didn’t need external sauces, although there were plenty available. We had lemonade to wash down our choices and decided that this was the best barbecue we have had. The place has a ton of people coming through and must serve hundreds of people a day but the food didn’t taste “watered down” for the masses. It was true barbecue with all the hot, sweet and tangy flavors that I wish ALL barbecue had. It was really great and will be on our short list of places we visit EVERY time we visit Austin.

Good brisket but not life-changing. The edges were too dry, overcooked, and salty. The center was much more tender and in line with what I expected from the reviews. Sauces were super basic? The original one tasted like ketchup, just of a watery consistency, while the sweet one was too sweet for my tastes though my friend liked it best.

Cornbread wasn’t too dry and didn’t completely crumble into pieces when you bit or cut into it, although it was a tad sweet. Green beans were surprisingly good in that they were actually green and tasted like beans, so not drowned in bacon fat or boiled into khaki like the “greens” in NOLA. However, they also didn’t have much flavor.

At least the servers were all extremely friendly and helpful and there was air conditioning indoors even though you and your clothes will smell of smoke after. Outdoor seating might be nice when it’s not summer, although there were a lot of not-shy birds hanging around so beware.

This was my first time at Aba, and we came in with high expectations since we love Mediterranean food. I’ve had the chance to try several Mediterranean restaurants in Austin, and honestly, the one that stands out the most for me is The Peacock.

At Aba, the only dish I truly enjoyed was the crispy short rib hummus—it was delicious. However, the rest of the food felt more like Mediterranean food truck quality. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything special, especially considering the prices. The main dish we ordered had overcooked, tough meat, which was disappointing.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, with lovely décor and a lively atmosphere, but for me, the food doesn’t live up to the hype or the 4.7 star rating. Service was about a 6/10, cocktails a 6/10, and overall, I’d rate the food around a 4 or 5 out of 10. We didn’t even order dessert because we felt underwhelmed after the main courses.

If you’re looking for a more elevated Mediterranean dining experience in Austin, I’d recommend The Peacock instead.

I really enjoyed my visit to Aba Austin. The ambiance is warm and stylish, making it a great spot for different occasions. The food was fresh and delicious, though the kabobs were a little too lemony for my taste. Service was attentive, and overall it was a memorable dining experience that I’d recommend and certainly marked for a future visit!

Was in Austin for a few days for work and ate at several different restaurants; steakhouse, Tex-Mex, and then this place. ABA was hands down the best place we ate at all week. The brisket hummus was amazing and so were the beef kabobs. The rice, veggies, all of it. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. Service was on point and the place is really cool with an inside outside vibe. Not a place I’d normally eat at, but now it has me checking for places like this when I travel. Next time I’m in Austin, definitely stopping back by.

Another Yelp Elite recommended Aba to me and it was a great recommendation. It’s a fun area on South Congress surrounded by shopping and tourists. It’s actually tucked away and feels pretty private. The ambiance is calming with lots of plants. The outdoor seating had mist and fans. The food is great. Marking allergies with an allergy marker. Most of the menu can accommodate a gluten and dairy allergy. Samantha was great. We enjoyed our meal. The truffled salmon was delicious.

Been here multiple times and it’s always been great. The food is fresh and very good quality. We love the fresh hummus, it’s so good with the warm pita bread! The falafel was a bit spicy but still good. The kebabs were pretty tasty as well. Date chocolate cake was a nice dessert.

Aba is a MUST! The cocktails, the food, and the atmosphere were all perfection! Our group absolutely loved this spot and the team went above and beyond to make it more than just a meal. We will be dreaming about this meal and spritz tower forever!

My wife and I had a lovely dinner at Aba. The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous. It has a beautiful atmosphere and design, which is perfect for a night out.

We got the whipped feta, which had a rich delicious flavor, though it was a little strong for my wife. The jumbo lump crab cake was excellent. It tasted fresh and flavorful. The pistachio-crusted halibut was good, but it was a little on the bland side especially compared to the other dishes.

For dessert, we tried both the sticky date cake and the pistachio panna cotta. They were both amazing! I think the sticky date cake was the highlight of the meal.

All in all, Aba is a great place for a fancy date night or work outing. It was a great dining experience with a few standout dishes. I would definitely recommend it, especially for its ambience and desserts!

I ordered the Indian masala tea. It was very authentic taste, so I cannot hold myself and I order one more back to back .I ordered the Mirchi Bhajji and It was again very delicious and crispy. I will definitely suggest you to order that and taste it at the same time the candidate who helping with my order PRIYNKA she is very helpful and She suggest me what is the famous dishes. What the ingredients they use, . I
recommend everyone to come and stop by here and taste the Indian masala tea and mirchi bhajji

This was our first visit to Sangam, brought by a friend. The staff here are so prompt, friendly and attentive, and the food comes out quickly even during a busy lunch rush. The dosas are all large, fresh, crispy, sour and delicious, as were all the chutneys included. The Fish 65 was light and delicious and flavorful, and the Chettinad Curry was a perfect spice level with lots of flavor. The lime soda and orange ginger soda were both a perfect refreshing summer drink. Will definitely return and look forward to trying many other menu items.

Just a fantastic spot, had this amazing 3 juice drink non alcohol. Got 3 different dishes unfortunately I can’t name them lol. Garlic naan was fantastic too. Great atmosphere with nice decorations hanging from the ceiling. 1 and only complaint was this door they kept going in and out of to serve outside guests was close to my booth, and it kept slamming and vibrating my seat.

Place is super packed at lunch and dinner during the weekends. Not sure how it is during the week.

I had a wonderful experience at Sangam Chettinad today. The food was authentic, flavorful, and served fresh. The ambiance felt warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special gatherings.

A special mention to Shiva, who is very welcoming and ensures every guest feels comfortable. The staff are equally kind, and provide excellent service with a smile.
Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great South Indian food

Let me start off by say it was 16,000 reviews. It’s going to be 16,001 now because this place is awesome.

I haven’t had a chance to have much Indian food lately, so I’ve been eating at a lot of places like curry, kitchen Star of India but Indian breakfast is something different.

Start off by the establishment is huge and beautiful with well decorated design and the layout with the bar in the middle of the large sections makes it ideal to keep a flow consistent between the parties having fun.

Starting off after sitting down we saw the most adorable robot. This thing was weekend and smiling handling food like a champ.

The menu after taking a look and hearing the suggestions from the staff, I decided to go with the combination breakfast. The Mrs. Got the pori ghee dosa.

Oh and then we added this onion dosa as well. It was really really something I just I had before and I just really liked it. Had another place. Boy I’m glad I got it

So long story short, I didn’t even pick up my utensils. I grabbed my hands and I dug in. Everything was delicious. Oh yeah and everything’s vegetarian so don’t forget that. But it didn’t matter. It’s just place rocks.

Each chutney was good for their own types of dipping.

My favorite breakfast item on the combo plate was definitely the saffron sweetened. What would be constitutely grits?

Overall 16,000 other people agree in some way shaper form that this place is good and you should definitely stop by and check it out for yourself

I’ve been to Sangam in Austin a couple of times now, and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots for South Indian food. I’ve tried Idli Sambar, different types of Dosas, Uttapams, Vada, and Chai – everything has been good, but the Dosas are absolutely amazing and definitely the highlight.

The restaurant has a nice vibe, and the staff is very polite and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. A great place to enjoy authentic South Indian flavors in Austin.

Must-try: Dosas ✅

Delicious food, but it took a long time to bring out the meats I came in to try. I only eat medium rare and they kept bringing well done. The finally got it right an hour later. Overall a good experience and I enjoyed the salad bar and variety of different cuts of meat.

My family and I went to visit Fogo de Chao for dinner, and it was a memorable experience. The server, Fernando, made my family feel welcome and was very professional in every way. I’m very happy my mom celebrated her birthday at the most beautiful restaurant I’ve been to. Thank you to everyone for making my mom feel special on her special day.

This is my first time here celebrating a birthday here. Fernando, Oscar and Monte made it one that I will never forget. Forever grateful for them for their kindness, generosity, and compassion for mankind. Definitely will visit again. The Restaurant had such a warm and cozy atmosphere. The food was so so so delicious it melt in your mouth. I will never forget this experience. Thank you

Fogo De Chao – Austin: Another olfactory and tasteful culinary experience. The Gauchos delivered superbly seasoned beef, chicken, pork, and lamb direct to our table. Bowen and Oscar took the best of care of us… promote both ahead of peers immediately.

Food was delicious, place was clean and bright. The staff was extremely nice and generous. It was a great atmosphere for a nice night out of relaxation. Definitely recommended. In the downtown area. Highly recommend.

A fantastic churrasco experience! The selection of meats was impressive, and everything was cooked perfectly. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I found the seasoning to be quite heavy on the salt, which left me feeling very thirsty after the meal.

My first time at the Austin TX location. I have been to the one in DC, Pittsburgh and Troy Michigan and for the most part, things were pretty consistent. This last visit was not one of the best. We got the Surf & Turf dinner, the lobster was great, very flavorful, the drinks were extremely good. However, when it came to the meats, the experience was not very pleasant. Being Brazilian, knowing churrasco and have visited other locations is the reason I’m writing this comment. At one point I asked one of the waiters to see if it was possible to have the gauchos add salt to the meat before they put it back on the grill. Some of the cuts (sirloin wrapped with bacon) was over cooked and lacked salt or flavor as whole. I speak very highly of Fogo as it is my favorite Brazilian steakhouse and I usually recommend to everyone I talk to. But unless things change, I’m not sure I could recommend the Austin location.

Notice that there’s no meat pictures.

My family and I visited Austin from Newfoundland last month, and Corinne was a highlight of our stay at the Downtown Marriott. Ellie served us twice while we were there and she was wonderful. She listened carefully to our families allergies and made sure our food was safe. Her suggestions from the menu suited us well—the breakfast biscuits are a must.

Thank you, Ellie, and everyone else at Corinne. We will be back!

Let me just say if you want the best server there, ask for Ellie! Hands down awesome service. Food was great and loved the espresso martinis. Thx Ellie for going above and beyond to make our experience in Austin great! Sincerely…the Florida girls <3

Fabulous meal from apps to dessert. Kudos to our server Skylar who not only provide top notch service but gave us a list of recommendations for the city!

So may things on the menu sounded great. We started with the crab croquettes which perfect.

For the mains, Diver Scallops and the wild Mushroom Bolognese with shrimp. The seafood was so fresh and both sauces were tasty.

Finished with the gooey butter cake topped with ice cream. I’d never had butter cake before but I’ll be sure to order it again as this was to die for.

Wednesday night is also 1/2 price bottles of wine so we were able to enjoy a high quality bottle of wine for a very reasonable price.

The crab croquets were amazing as the other reviews have said. The chicken tostado meal was ok, would not get again. The marinade/sauce was very one note, tasted very grape juice like. Service and atmosphere was great.

Victoria was an amazing waitress! She had great recommendations and I had the chicken club and shared crab croquettes for the table. Had an amazing lunch at Corinne!

We decided to try Corinne after seeing some good reviews, not realizing it was a hotel restaurant. The service was decent and the atmosphere was clean and professional, but overall the experience didn’t stand out for us.

I had the burger and he had the roast beef au jus—both were fine in the moment, but left us with heartburn afterward. The crowd seemed to be mostly travelers and business folks, which makes sense given the location.

It’s probably a convenient option for hotel guests or nearby office workers, but with so many great restaurants in Austin, we’re unlikely to return.

This place overall is receiving a three stars from me mainly because of the food. The service was good, I believe our server name was Skylar, hands-down, was amazing! This review has nothing to do with her or the service. I loved her attitude, I loved how she answered all of our questions, she is absolutely an angel!

But as far as the food, I wasn’t really pleased. Majority of my food was super salty, and someone else in my party had to send part of their food back. I was expecting a little bit more based on the reviews, but it was OK. (This is just my personal opinion, and preference. If you’re someone who loves salt, mainly, or uses salt as a main seasoning aside from other seasoning, then you won’t find an issue with the food. Or if you’re someone who prefers less season, but more charred taste, than this place would be for you)

My wife and I recently dined at Perry’s for the first time. I had anticipated a high-end dining experience which would include atmosphere, and for the high prices, excellent tasting menu items. I was disappointed on all counts. I started with the Caesar Salad which was so salty I could not eat it. I returned it and was not charged for it. I also had the Stuffed Mushroom appetizer. I removed the stuffing, which tasted fishy, and ate the mushrooms. I also had French Onion Soup and it was fair. I next had the Crab Cakes appetizer. The plate contained two Crab Cakes. The crab cakes were not lump meat but rather a blended stuffing with a crust and deep fried. I ate half of one. For dessert I had the Bread Pudding which came with a four inch square of marshmallow for a topping. My thought is how ridiculous that huge chunk of marshamallow looked sitting on top of the bread pudding. The bread pudding was tasteless and very solid. It was difficult to eat with a spoon or fork. I only had one bite. My wife had the Chopped Salad which was fair. She also had the Lobster Bisque which was fine but not great. My wife also had the Shrimp Cocktail which was five shrimp on ice with a small container of shrimp cocktail sauce. It was ok. We had a nice young lady as our server. She was polite and efficient. In summary we were totally disappointed in this restaurant. The food was sub par on every item my wife and I tried. The prices were expensive. I felt the dining experience was a waste of our time and money. We will never come to this restaurant again as there are better options.

You get what you pay for: Service, attention to detail, attentiveness, seasoning, consistency, excellence. Highly recommend the Pork Chop – gargantuan portion, seasoned, slightly sweet, salty, a touch of spice and a side of apple butter which pairs perfect with the pork. Buttered, creamy mashed potatoes also seasoned to perfection. I ordered some Brussels sprouts as well and they were delicious.

I shouldn’t forget to share with you the stuffed mushrooms appetizer and cucumber blueberry martini – divine. Slightly tart and sweet, excellent combination of flavors. But best of all was the massive butterscotch bread pudding with charred house made marshmallow! Out of this world, the butterscotch is not overpowering and is absent that artificial flavor so many “butterscotch” concoctions claim. From the bar staff to the servers, everything was well done.

So my wife and our five year old son decided to take me here for Father’s Day!!
I am still full, but it was awesome food.
The service and atmosphere were very nice as well.
The employees were awesome and helpful, considering our son loves his food to be crunchy since he is Autistic.
The wagyu was spot on perfect, just like everything else .
What a wonderful Father’s Day gift at a very nice restaurant.
It’s worth every bit it costs!

Plain and simple, this place has AWESOME food!
The Pork Chop
The NY Strip & potatoes
The chocolate covered ice cream and sorbet desserts
The place is quiet and dimly lit, which was nice for date night. There’s also a nice bar that I could see hanging out at and getting good drinks.
I hear they have a pork chop lunch special on Friday and the cost I remember hearing was a really stupid amount (like super cheap) for the the size of the pork chop you get. It’s incredible!
We will be back! Thanks for making my wife’s birthday even more special!

PS – My wife has celiac and they were more than accommodating with everything we ordered/wanted to order. I don’t remember too many things she couldn’t eat. Always great to find these spots!

They made it so special for us celebrating our anniversary… and National pork chop day! We definitely appreciated the added touches (rose petals & a third dessert neither of us needed, but were happy to try). Can only speak to when celebrating something special, but would definitely recommend!

Perry’s Steakhouse in Austin delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance is upscale yet inviting, perfect for a special night out or business dinner. Their signature pork chop is a must-try—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Steaks are top-tier, rivaling the best in Texas, and the sides and cocktails are equally impressive. Service is attentive and polished, with staff who truly care about making your visit memorable. Perry’s combines quality, elegance, and consistency, making it a standout steakhouse in Austin.

My boyfriend looked up best steakhouse in Austin and this one was highly recommended. He surprised me on a date here and the food was amazing. Good portions and great drinks! The ambience is a bit loud but still very romantic and the lighting is everything. Our server was so sweet and very attentive.

Jester King Brewery is such a unique and welcoming spot! The atmosphere is rustic and relaxing, with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Their beers are incredible—creative, flavorful, and brewed with such care. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to help you find the perfect drink. It’s not just a brewery, but an experience: great food, open space, and a place you can spend hours with friends or family. Definitely one of my favorite places in Austin, and I’ll be coming back again and again. Highly recommended!

以野生發酵啤酒與農舍啤酒之名的一間啤酒廠，可以報名參加他們的酒廠導覽。這裡啤酒不錯、披薩很好吃，比較可惜的是用餐區都是室外的，夏天很熱、冬天的風吹的很冷。

Easiest 5 stars I can give! Did goat yoga a year ago for my birthday and had a blast. The pizza is always fantastic, and not too bad of a price either! The staff is friendly and the cocktails change every few months. One of my favorite places in Drip to take people to!

Absolutely love Jester King and the range of drinks they always have. Tons of seating, always a great vibe with live music. Super dog friendly and such a nice touch with all the misters and fans they have during those hot Texan summers. A must go to place when you’re in Dripping Springs!

Get here now! Beautiful farm even more Beautiful brew. Chalax and enjoy the views n brews. Beer 5 stars. Staff team outstanding. I may be lost out here for a week today. Super family friendly. Let the kids run while you and yours fill your tumm – with world class beer.

Jester King Brewery is a must-visit for craft beer lovers. The beers were fantastic—each one unique with a great balance of flavors. The standout for me was their Aurastone ’25, which was perfectly tart and complex. The food was also great, complementing the beers really well. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, a great spot for amazing brews and good eats!

I’ve been coming here for years because the beer is unique and just so good. I really like the addition of the food truck to bring food outside of pizza to the menu makes me love this place more. The Smash burgers are DELICIOUS! Then a farm trail is perfect to walk off the full stomach. Great place for the family and don’t forget to bring your dog!

Dean’s was the perfect place for my birthday dinner and Lexie was a wonderful server expertly crafting our whole experience! We enjoyed everything from Lobster Bisque and Caesar Salad to the Barrel Cut Filet and Short Rib Gnocchi. Drinks and atmosphere were also top-notch. Highly recommend!

Impeccable dining experience.

Came in on a whim due to there being a big parade shutting down majority of the area and was so delighted with my visit.

I was served by TJ (I sat at the bar since I was solo dining), he was very attentive, gave awesome menu recommendations and overall was a pleasure to be served by.

I wound up ordering the scallops. I’m a huge scallop girl and my test for scallops to see if they’re cooked correctly, is that I should be able to slice through them with a fork with no issues. My fork glided straight through each one. The scallops were sweet, savory, surrounded by a delicious cream sauce & cooked to perfection.

Highly recommend for a beautiful dining experience. 10/10 would recommend!

What really set Dean’s apart was the perfect balance of bold, hearty flavors and refined presentation. Each bite was a celebration whether it was the tender, juicy ribeye, the fresh seafood specials, or the decadent desserts that closed the meal on a high note.

From start to finish, Dean’s made the whole dining experience feel special and memorable. Whether it’s a date night, a celebration, or just treating yourself, this place hits every note perfectly. I left already dreaming about my next visit! 12/10

Very pretty interior and amazing service from the first moment. Our waitress, Gabby, was extremely welcoming and provided information and recommendations based on what we liked. Every choice was perfect. The cocktails, starters, mains and sides were timed so we weren’t rushed or waiting. Try the bread pudding….try it!!

Ariana was spectacular unparallel service.
I was extremely disappointed with the main dish of Bucatini. It should be in the description as lemon pasta, lemon, didn’t really taste the truffles. Traded it in for a shrimp cocktail, a much better choice.
I WOULD RECOMMEND

My wife and I had dinner here today. The wagyu meatballs, short rib gnocchi, pork tomahawk and bread were so delicious. The beet salad was also very good but we wish it would have had much more beets. The lady that was our server gave us outstanding service. Our drinks were also very good.

I had an incredible experience at Dean’s Italian Steakhouse! Our server, Auya, was absolutely amazing—easily one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She was super nice, funny, professional, and completely on top of everything throughout the night. She made the whole dinner experience feel effortless and enjoyable, and her energy really stood out.

The food was excellent as well. The bone marrow was rich and flavorful, and the Wagyu was cooked perfectly. Everything we ordered was delicious, but what made the evening truly memorable was the outstanding service from Auya. She elevated the entire experience and made it one of the best dining nights I’ve had in a long time.

Highly recommend Dean’s if you’re looking for great food and phenomenal service!

What a surprise! Service is amazing and so friendly, the tacos are fresh, original flavors and delicious. Of course the beer is outstanding I went for the northwest passage (coffee black ale) and a couple of crazy horse (Pilsner original). Ask for Lazlo and Karla my new friends in Austin!

My wife and I had a great time at Lazarus this weekend. There are several inviting spaces to relax in, and the atmosphere is a laid back neighborhood vibe. We enjoyed some delicious street tacos along with a nice variety of drinks– Lightning Wolf and Kon-Tiki on draft, and Chardonnay. As a craft beer snob from Atlanta, I didn’t know what to expect. But let me tell you, the Kon-Tiki was one of the most flavorful and refreshing drafts I’ve ever had. The pineapple and coconut combination was incredible but not overpowering. I sincerely hope Lazarus considers distributing or attending beer festivals in the near future — their lineup definitely deserves wider exposure. A huge shoutout to the team: the manager, Homer, and bartenders Katilyn and Mattix were incredibly friendly. They even took a beer shot with us to celebrate our 33rd “Meetaversary,” which made our visit to Austin even more memorable. Cheers to great beer, great people, and great memories!!

Lazarus hands down has the best locally brewed beers in Austin and arguably the entire country, there I said it. The crisp refreshing lagers such as Black Pearl, Time Machine, and John Wayne is a Sissy make getting through the summer days in Austin a breeze, and if that ain’t your style, there are plenty of other ales on tap. The staff are always friendly and inviting, vibes are immaculate, and the location has you feeling close to the city but away from the rambunctiousness of E 6th st. Highly recommend showing your friends and family Lazarus, it won’t disappoint.

Special shout out to Carlos who always says hello with a bright smile and shows some love to my boy Tex!

Went to Airport Blvd location. I had a flight and enjoyed all of the beers that I tried so I took 3 crowlers to go to share with friends back in San Antonio. When I got home, all 3 had leaked and when I took them off of the plastic holder 1 exploded with the top coming off. Good beer, but if you want buy the crowlers to go, make sure you keep them as cold as possible during transport.

Edited after contact from Jessica at Lazarus: changed from 4 to 5 stars and added advice for crowler transport. I’m still unsure if crowler leaks/bursting were from a packaging issue or transport. The beers were never brought above 80F but since they were stored cold at Lazarus, even that temperature change added to the vibration of car travel to San Antonio may have caused the leaking. Note that the temperature change being a factor is my speculation on the cause and not an excuse/deflection offered by Lazarus. Regardless of the cause, Jessica addressed the issue and I am happy with the result. Again, the beer was excellent, service was friendly and the quick contact about a customer issue is a sign of a well run business. I’ll return to Lazarus when visiting Austin and hope to try their food and more of their delicious beer.
Cheers.

I’m here visiting my son from Bellingham, WA. I googled best breweries near me – picked your Airport Blvd. Location by ratings and proximity to my son’s home. Was super happy with my choice! I profess to be an IPA snob, and live a good hazy when it’s warm. Your Lightning Wolf delivered! Juicy, citrusy deliciousness! And your outdoor space had an amazing vibe. Felt like I could be home (with both coffee and beer in same spot), but warmer! Grabbed a 6-pk to go…still enjoying! Will be back on future visits!

Loves the tacos. They did not skimp on the fillings. I liked my lavender latte. Plenty of seating outside and inside.

Lazarus Brewing Company, which is located on East 6th Street in Austin, Texas, is a great spot for a drink + a bite to eat! The atmosphere inside of this space is warm, inviting, and the staff are really kind. The service is very efficient, even when the place is really busy! They have several draft beer options, all of which are brewed in-house. They have Beer-To-Go options as well, including 12 ounce beer cans + 32 ounce crowlers. As a non-beer drinker myself, I was hoping to try one of their Frozens during my first visit here (e.g. their Margarita or Pina Colada). Unfortunately, their machine was down, so I tried one of their Rosé options (as outlined on their wine list) instead. Honestly, this did the trick, because whatever I was served was delicious. 🙂 Regarding food, their Chiquito-sized Nachos are delicious – they are the perfect snack. I highly recommend this spot!

I had to drive nearly half an hour to get to Suprabhat Indian Restaurant, but it was absolutely worth the trip. This place is a fully vegetarian gem, and they truly deliver on authentic South Indian flavors.

We ordered the Suprabhat Thali along with a Mysore Masala Dosa, and both were excellent. The dosa was crisp, perfectly spiced, and the chutney it came with was outstanding- probably one of the best I’ve had in a long time.

A nice surprise was that the thali comes with an option to select Poori instead of Chappathi which was a welcome change and paired well with the rest of the dishes. To top it off, I tried both filter coffee and masala tea, and they were spot on—rich, flavorful, and the perfect end to the meal.

If you’re looking for high-quality vegetarian South Indian food, Suprabhat is definitely worth the drive.

This small Indian restaurant is really good. It’s one of my top Indian restaurants around Austin and they also have a case full of desserts which are fantastic if you’ve never had Indian desserts, you should try some. The menu is huge and has no photos so you sort of have to know what you’re ordering or ask. They have a lot of things here that I don’t typically see on the menu of Indian restaurants and so far, everything has been great.

I don’t even know where to begin because this Indian all-vegetarian restaurant blew me away in every possible way. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with the warmest smiles and kindness that made me feel instantly at home. The staff wasn’t just polite they were genuinely kind, attentive, and full of heart. You can tell they really care about their food and their guests. Now let’s talk about the food… WOW. Every single dish was bursting with flavor, freshness, and that perfect balance of spice and comfort. It’s rare to find a place that puts so much soul into their cooking, but this one absolutely does. Whether you’re vegetarian or not, you’ll fall in love with the variety and richness of the menu. It’s the kind of food that makes you want to slow down and savor every bite. The ambiance? Super clean, cozy, and inviting like the kind of place you want to bring your friends, your family, or even just spend time by yourself with a giant plate of something delicious. You leave feeling full, happy, and oddly peaceful. Truly an unforgettable experience. I’ll be coming back again and again, and I’ll be telling everyone I know to do the same.

Stopped by for a quick bite to eat and it was ok for me. I was trying some new stuffs out. My buddy tried a fish curry and he didn’t enjoy it bc the fish for him was not fresh. I tried the Goat Roganjosh and it was very tasty, I didn’t love it but it was good. I think what we both liked was the chicken frankie, for some reason it came last, but I guess it was worth the wait. The outside was like a thin roti. Inside it was very flavorful, filled with chicken onions and spices. It was like an Indian pizza pocket but it puts them to shame. I would come back to try some other dishes.

I came here for dinner with my family friends, sat in the hut area the food was SOSO goodd!! Honestly and the staff was super nice too 🙂 but I only had a teensy problem which is I ordered the non alcoholic pina colada which I had a lot of expectations for which is bad on my part but the taste itself was good not sure if I can rlly rate it since it was my first, but I liked it the presentation was my problem, i expected yellow but it was white in color, a fancy glass and decor but it was a normal drinking water one but taste is what matters right?

Have tried chole batura was delicious,naan,kadai paneer curry was little watery , mango lassi tastes little bitter so got to thrash it half of it.
Got good ambience, we enjoyed food.

I ordered Plantain Bajji, which was served with absolutely no salt. When I pointed it out, the staff member simply offered me salt on the side. I explained that adding salt to already fried fritters is not possible and asked if they could remake it. She said she would check with the manager, but never returned. Instead, she continued serving other customers while ignoring us completely.

After finishing the rest of our food, we went to the counter to raise the issue again and were glad they at least did not charge for that item. While I appreciate that, the handling of the situation was very poor. A simple update — even if they couldn’t remake it — would have shown basic respect and care for customers. Instead, the experience reflected indifference and a lack of accountability.
