We got the fried chicken sandwich and the steak frites. The fried chicken has good spicy flavor and was fresh. The skinny fries were so good too. The steak and frites were good with the exception of the quality of steak. Cheap piece of meat, but the sauce on top and plentiful fries was great! Also, the price for the steak frites with the low quality meat is the reason for 4/5 stars. Oh, and how could I forget, we got the beignets and those were perfect!

Never heard of this place but got a coupon in the mail for a buy one lunch, get a free lunch…read more Decided to try it as I'm always looking for decent Italian food. As it turns out the coupon was only good during the week and it was Saturday. No big deal. I ordered a Meatball Sandwich, my friend an Italian Sandwich (after asking our excellent young waitress about it). She brought out two very tasty types of bread with olive oil for dipping. The sandwiches came with Garlic Fries. The Fries were delicious but unfortunately mine were lukewarm. I certainly could have asked for a fresh portion, but was hungry enough not to bother. That's the reason my rating wasn't 5 Star. Because the restaurant was pretty empty on this Saturday afternoon, I feel the Chef shouldn't have sent out fries that weren't piping hot. The Meatball Sandwich however was marvelous. Freshly made, tasty meatballs with sauce and cheese on their focaccia bread was a real treat. I took half home and ate the rest for dinner. All in all, I'd come back here again as the food was excellent as well as the service.

We paid, got the buzzer for the table, and picked where we wanted to sit with no issues as there weren't very many people there because it was after the lunch rush. My husband ordered the Pepperoni Pizza and I ordered the Fat Queen. The Pepperoni Pizza was good. The Pepperonis were small and tasty. The Fat Queen was just as good. It comes with Pepperoni, Soppressata, and Italian Sausage. I really liked the flavor of all of the meat in the marinara sauce plus the pizza crust is light and fluffy. Overall Pieous is a great place to get some good pizza. The service and pizza were good. I suggest going at an off time that isn't the typical lunch or dinner time.

It's one of the few places in Austin that I feel you can find true pizza made from scratch that's being cooked in the oven right in front of you so you can just taste the burnt and crispiness of the crust and it's absolutely delicious. I definitely definitely recommend if you love pizza and want to try some nicer higher-end pizza than just the kind of regular stuff we see a lot the vibe is very chill. It's kind of walk-in like there's picnic tables that you sit down and stuff we used to go all the time when I was little. This was my parents's favorite pizza place so I definitely definitely recommend if you're in the area.

He picked up the food with no issues and brought it home. I ordered the Chicken Satay which is four chicken skewers that comes with a peanut sauce and a cucumber and red onion vinaigrette. The Chicken Satay was really good. The chicken was very tender and well flavored. The peanut sauce was okay but I don't usually eat that. The cucumber and red onion vinaigrette was so good. I loved eating my chicken with it. It was so yummy. I also ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken. It's a fried Rice with Egg, Red onions, Scallions, Peas, Carrots, Tomatoes, Pineapple, and Cashew Nuts. It was delicious. All of the ingredients were a great combination. I liked the semisweet of the pineapple mixed in with the crunch of the cashews. I added some of the Cucumber and Red Onion Vinaigrette to it for extra flavor that gave it a more sweet taste. It was a tasty filling meal. One of my adult sons ordered the Beef Fried Rice and Added Shrimp to it. He liked it. He said it filled him up and he was good to go. My other adult son ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken. He didn't like it. I also tried it and it wasn't for me. It had a really strong fishy taste. My husband said it was probably cooked in a fish sauce. I'm not a fan of fish sauce. The noodles were cooked well and the chicken was tender but the fishy flavor was overwhelming. Overall it was a good meal. The ordering and pickup process was easy for my husband and the food was flavorful and filling.

Mostly that Vendoro pizza, which was mouthwatering and devoured instantly (pesto all over the face with no shame). Since it was our first time there we got 3 beer flights and were satisfied with all of the options we had per our bartender's recommendations! I wish I could remember the guy's name that helped us but I'm sure I'll get it once I go again soon! Ah, it was just such a wonderful time. Super wholesome. Super family friendly. Everyone we encountered both customers and other workers around us were all so delightful too. I know I might say it often, but with this place I reeeally am looking forward to coming back again soon.

The second plate we ordered had brisket, mac and cheese and a cornbread pudding dish. Both sides and the brisket were great. Food options are limited in the area and I think The Switch is one of the better options!

I stopped today with my husband and absolutely LOVED it, I'm definitely gonna be back!!…read moreBut let me tell you more! The indoor is very beautiful and smells like cinnamon and apple (a scent that I love), especially going towards the bathrooms. Theres a bar section with plenty of seating and the room inside the restaurant is overall very spacious. I didn't see much of the indoor as I decided to sit outside in the patio. Although being during the Texas summer, the patio has plenty of (very powerful) fans! The view of the green belt next to the restaurant is amazing, and there is also an outdoor bar, which gives impeccable vibes. We ordered two starters and had plenty of food! My husband ordered the Barbacoa Stackers (slow roasted barbacoa, refried black beans, Jack cheese, JAK slaw, Cotija cheese) I personally loved them! The meat was tasty and juicy, the black beans were perfectly cooked and everything was so rich in flavor. Definitely a 10/10! I ordered the Homemade Buttermilk Biscuit, served with honey & seasonal fruit flavored butter (with a side of yummy bacon) Today they had strawberry flavor, and there was even strawberry jam. I have to be honest, THE BEST biscuits I've ever had in my life! And I love me some good biscuits! They were buttery and crumbly to the right point! The strawberry butter with the strawberry jam was the perfect combo! We were told the biscuits are made fresh every morning, and I love that! It was definitely a 1000/10! We also got some chips and salsa. Chips are very crunchy, and the salsa is spicy to the right point! Now I'm building my tolerance with the spicy and this salsa was really yummy, and can build up the spice! The waiter who served it to us, brought it over in a small mason jar and emptied it in the little container for our table, which was something I've never seen done like this. Definitely appreciated it! Makes me think they make their own salsa (forgot to check on that!) They also gave us a complimentary pita bread with pimento, and it was delicious! The pita bread was very crunchy and salty to the right point! They even gifted me a portion of peach and strawberry cobbler, topped with ice cream, for my birthday and it was insane! The flavor was perfectly sweet and mixed with the ice cream was very refreshing and still warm and melting in my mouth! Probably one of the best cobblers I've ever had! And keep in mind, we got here that we weren't feeling super hungry, and yet we were able to appreciate every single bite cause it was so good!! Last but not least - Ali, our server, was incredible! She was so nice throughout the whole dining experience and made sure we had everything we needed. She was so kind to ask if I could add peach puree to my freshly squeezed lemonade (which is a 10/10), and even made sure I had plenty of strawberry butter for my biscuits. We definitely took some leftovers home and I can't wait to have the remaining biscuit in the morning!

They kept the nautical theme throughout the restaurant, which you really notice from the bar area where I sat. Service was friendly and very attentive even on a slow Sunday although though I'm guessing this location might be more of a dinner spot. There's plenty of seating both downstairs and upstairs, which makes it a good option for larger groups. As for the food I went with the Connecticut-style lobster roll since it was a warm afternoon, but the menu offers a solid variety of seafood and non-seafood options along with some delicious desserts like the key lime pie which I also got to try. Prices are definitely on the higher side as expected with quality seafood, but I had a coupon that helped offset the cost. I can't say I'd come here regularly because of the price point, but if I'm in the area and craving seafood this would easily be my go-to place.

We've stayed here before and had such a great experience that we were excited to come back --…read moreespecially since this time we brought a friend who had never been. Unfortunately, our experience this time didn't quite live up to the first. We arrived around 4:00 PM and were told the dinner menu didn't start until 5:00 PM, which was completely fine. We decided to order appetizers/salads from the lunch menu instead and wait until 5 to order our meals. All three of us ordered the Cleopatra salad, which was listed at $16 on the lunch menu. We expected it to either be really good or at least a substantial portion for that price. Unfortunately, we all found it overly sweet from the combination of the honey dressing, candied pecans, and cranberries, and there was very little feta. To make matters worse, we later noticed that we were charged $18 per salad, the dinner price, even though we ordered them around 4:20 PM. Paying $54 for three small, appetizer-sized salads with very few toppings was extremely disappointing. We were also told they were out of sangria because they had sold out the night before and hadn't had time to make more. It was a Saturday, so that was another disappointment, especially because we had really enjoyed the sangria during our previous visit. The biggest disappointment, however, was the shrimp scampi. Our waiter was very kind and actually recommended it, so I was looking forward to trying it. I almost never send food back to the kitchen, but this was one of those occasions. The shrimp were plain and steamed with no seasoning, and the pasta appeared to have no sauce or flavor. When I moved the pasta aside, there was a watery yellow liquid at the bottom that tasted very bland. For $29, I expected much more, and this is an Italian place after all. I ended up ordering the Fettuccine Giulio Cesare instead, which was much better and had considerably more flavor. That said, the lasagna and cheesecake are definitely the way to go here -- both were delicious. I just wish the overall menu were more consistent. When prices are on the higher end, you expect the quality and execution of the dishes to be consistent as well. It's frustrating to have some dishes that are absolutely delicious while others feel underwhelming or simply not worth the price. We really wanted to love our return visit as much as the first, so it was disappointing to leave feeling this way. Hopefully some of these things can be addressed, because there is clearly a lot of potential here and some truly great food.
