Love to support new places, but I did not have a good experience at Astra. Ambiance is great. It looks cozy and modern. I really like the outdoor sitting around the tree. I like the concept. Service was good expect the food itself. We ordered the goat chest pizza and red fish. Fish was a complete disaster. For $22 small piece of fish with no sides. I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't Pizza could be better if it was cooked right. I could still taste the uncooked dough. If you have alot of money and you want to spend. This is a good place. Unfortunately it is a pass for me. read more

From Chicago, recently moved to Kyle. Stopped by Astra for dinner tonight. Here are my thoughts: -The service for a casual restaurant was 5-star! Our waitress was friendly, knew her stuff, super helpful, especially for our first time. -We ordered the turkey raclette sandwich, and it was a gem! The kind of sammy where everything works together, delicious! -We ordered the pepperoni basil and the merguez goat pizzas. -The merguez was very spicy. (Pro tip: We asked for a side of ranch--much better!) -The pepperoni was peppery. I enjoyed the greasyness (is that a word?) of it. -The highlight was the sourdough crust. It's cooked in a brick oven (see pics). Nice char on bottom : ) -A note about ambiance--very pleasant! Fun to hear the "Toot! Toot!" of the train, as it went by. We sat outside on the patio, bugs were pesky, but I really enjoyed the 80's music in the background : ) -Everything is locally sourced. Highly recommended. read more

The food was amazing I had a turkey pep sandwich on the most delicious soft bread. I started off with a scrumptious salad and my son had a pizza which we all shared. Our server was very attentive and the smell of the wood fire oven was pleasant as we walked into this nice, Michelin star restaurant. Which by the way is locally owned and sourced. Will definitely return. read more

The cocktails totally blew me away! The leaves & stem and second side martini were both in my top 5 cocktails I've had all year! The bread, crudo and sandwiches we got were also very tasty. Love seeing more unique and delicious dining options coming to Buda! We are adding Astra to our monthly rotation and love the patio out front! Can't wait to get the pizza soon read more

Delicious food and great service. Love that Buda has a new spot for cocktails, wine and tasty bites. The homemade pasta is so comforting and loved that our waitress offered tips on add-ons to make it a little more hearty. The pizza for me was the best and can't wait to try others, but we opted for the oyster mushroom pie with added sausage. So delicious. Paired well with their French Pinot Noir. Will definitely be back. read more

Love the new tenant of this space in Buda Main. Small, intimate with a unique hole in the wall feel but better! Great spot to grab a drink or small bites! They really focus on the craft of the dishes. Sammies are great and so is the pizza. Great options for vegetarians as well. Limited parking in the back but plenty on the main street side. read more

Overpriced, limited menu, not very welcoming. Nice inside, fairly quiet. Manger was nice enough.

Food was great, it tasted fresh. It was nice that they also offered vegetarian options. It was a chill spot to be able to talk and hang with friends. Service was wonderful. read more

This was our 2nd dining experience. The service was extraordinary! Ivy was especially excited to share with us the new menu items. Really enjoyed her personality and attentiveness to our needs. The drinks were on point and the Astra Margarita was perfect. The pork belly and carrots were yummmmmmmmmyyy!!! For the constructive criticism... - Please, please revert back to the original house made pasta recipe. We were very impressed by the pasta on our first visit and this time we thought the pasta was too dry and did not like the style of it. read more

The amount of food for the price is appalling.. Redfish crudo, a glorified ceviche, was $17 for less than 200kcals.. you could buy fish, apples, peanuts, cilantro, limes and a daikon radish for less that this price and have enough to feed your family read more

Astra - Redfish crudo, lacks sustenance. Don't come here hungry, or do if you have money and want to lose weight. LOL - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Buda, Texas

I am THRILLED to have another high quality restaurant and cocktail bar in Buda! The cocktails were created by a Michelin starred bartender and are truly the best in the area. The menu is diverse and unique, with tons of options for everyone. I went in for lunch on a Saturday and got the Leaves & Stems to drink, and the turkey raclette sandwich. My cocktail was extremely well balanced and beautifully presented. The sandwich was amazing - the house made bread really stood out. I can't wait to come back for dinner and try some of their plates. Buda desperately needed a place like this, and I hope to see it busier and busier the longer they're in business! read more

Went there last night and I was charged $20 for the most basic plate of pasta ever. To be clear, there was no sauce on this pasta (slight butter or olive oil maybe) and three cloves of raw garlic on top of the pasta. Also the pasta tasted like it was box pasta. The pork belly tasted microwaved. This place had so much potential when it started. The drinks were fantastic though. The service was chaotic and discombobulated. Someone help this place. read more

Great ambiance. We didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar. We were there early and Happy Hour is from 3-5 daily. Everything was good. They were out of the Denver steak which was surprising since it was 4pm on a Saturday. read more

Delicious food and drinks! Came here around 4 on a Tuesday and looked like they were just starting up so service was a little slow and there was only one other table of people there. Outside is a cute patio and inside is upscale. Sat outside at the bar and tried some drinks and the redfish crudo. Highly recommend the crudo and the leaves and stems cocktail - both incredible and would come back just for those. The Paloma and margarita were also good, refreshing and not too sweet. Wanted to walk around main st for a little since I had never been and this was a good jumping off point. We ended up coming back to Astra for dinner after a little stroll and some shopping. The second time was probably about 2 hours later and we sat inside at the bar and the restaurant was packed and bustling now. By the time we left there were many people waiting for tables at the entrance. For dinner we got the vegetarian sandwich add turkey, the pepperoni fennel pizza and the broccoli. I also tried the second side martini and it was great but I enjoyed the leaves and stems and Paloma better. The vegetarian sandwich was somewhat of a let down. The bread was super hard to bite through making it hard to eat. The veggies in the sandwich were pickled onions, arugula, and something else pickled similar to the onions, so not heavy on the vegetables. Glad I added the turkey. The pizza was good. Did not enjoy their ranch though. The broccoli was also really good but priced a little steep for how much you get at $14. Overall, really liked the inventiveness of the drinks here and the food was good for the most part. Definitely want to come back and try other things on the menu! read more

This restaruant is an amazing little gem in downtown Buda. Three of use enjoyed the delicious, hot, and locally-sourced ingredients geared to a sophisticated palette. The butternut squash salad, redfish, mushroom pizza, sourdough bread, and Iberico ham were some of the best we've had anywhere. We were also pleasantly surprised by the light bodied Chianti, which was very enjoyable. Service was absolutely great and this was one of more enjoyable dining experiences recently. We can't wait to return. read more

It was good overall but I wouldn't say I'd be dying to go back. We had the blue cornbread which was delicious. The redfish crudo was good but very small. The meat in the Italian olive sandwhich was good. They have happy hour which is a plus. read more

Tried again, also on a Wednesday to find the place closed up at 4:30pm, despite signs out front and back saying "Happy Hour Daily 3-5". I really want to help local business but, heck, try being open or change the signs. Main Street Pizza hit the spot. read more

The food here was really good! Waitress was nice and it was very clean and aesthetically pleasing inside. However, it was frustrating that they were out of both pepperoni and waffle cones. I had to get a different sandwich because they were out of pepperoni for the one I originally wanted. The Italian Olive was still delicious, and the homemade sourdough was great. read more

We waited 20 minutes for a summer salad as an appetizer that would "feed 3-4 depending on how much you eat". There were 4 of us and we each got 2-3 forkfulls. That was a $14 salad. My friend ordered a steak and a side order of pasta. He got the steak and waited 30 minutes for his pasta. He asked if they could reheat his steak but they could not. They did comp his meal but a nice, hot meal would have been preferred. We were told the sides could be ordered and shared "family style" but the portions were so small we were shocked especially given the prices! We really wanted to like this place. Our server was super nice and we enjoyed dining on the patio but, for the price, we expected so much more. read more

Love Astra! Our first time here and we will be back with our family! The soft serve salted caramel was delicious!

We have been to Astra three times, twice for takeout and today for dine-in. We've tried every pizza on the menu and honestly have not been disappointed once. Even reheated, the pizza is amazing. They have the only crust I actually eat, the crust! The sourdough is next level. Our personal favorites are the Oyster Mushroom (my 9 and 5 year old literally beg for it) and the Merguez Goat. The salads are top notch as well. We've tried them all, and the Summer Salad with homegrown tomatoes from the owners' garden cannot be beat. When it's not in season, the Arugula Salad is always a winner. One of the coolest touches is that when you walk in, you can literally see the herbs they're using in your dishes. Today we also tried the homemade pasta, and let me tell you, it was "no joke," as my son said. Seriously, it was incredible. The garlic flavor was subtle but absolutely perfect. Now to the steak. I could have licked the plate clean because of that herb gremolata. The steak was juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. And now the service. Ivy was phenomenal. She was attentive without hovering, made sure we always had what we needed, and also gave us space to enjoy time together as a family. As parents of two young kids that balance means a lot. The experience actually started before we sat down. The hostess was incredibly welcoming and set the tone for the entire meal. From the moment we walked in until we left Astra felt genuine and like a place that truly cares about its guests. read more

One of our favorite spots! Love how the menu rotates and love supporting a great local small business.

Absolutely LOVE Astra, me and my Husband have come here a lot since they opened. He always gets the steak which is perfectly cooked and i always get the Mortadella and Pistachio Butter Sandwich with the Butternut dish. The Sandwich is sweet and savory and perfect on the sourdough bread that they make in-house. Their coffee is also outstanding and all the syrups are made in house which is wonderful. Highly recommend and as someone who has lived in Buda her whole life this is a place Buda very much needed read more
