Pancake
Michelle V.

We tried the brunch menu Saturday morning - amazing! We did the central Texas breakfast - HUGE - great portion size / can possibly be split We also ordered the sourdough pancake - my favorite - delicious! My husband got the biscuits and gravy with sausage - the best! I tried one of the strawberry basil wine cocktails - not a huge wine person so not my favorite - but still good if you like mimosas / wine! Service was great, food came out perfectly Outdoor patio seating available and looks dog friendly too! Cute / farmhouse / country decor inside

Miso on the make

Every time I'm here I think "I should come here more often." It never fails to be good. There's always some tweak to the menu. Some new ingredient, some new combination of flavors, something seasonal. It's never exactly the same, but never different enough I feel lost. Flavors? Yes. Technique? Yes. A new food pairing I'd never thought of, but isn't some over-the-top science experiment that might wow but doesn't satisfy? No. Just good food, cooked well, thought out in terms of flavor and portion, served in a place where you can sit, eat, drink, talk and enjoy. Upscale without pomp and circumstance, but homey enough to not be a wildly out of touch experience. Come here when you want to eat, come here when you want to talk over food you can munch and enjoy. Come here when you're bored with everything else and get reminded how good good can really be.

After a huge disappointment with another restaurant, we needed to find a new place for a birthday celebration and landed on Dai Due. There was a small wait... but given that it was a Saturday night, that was to be expected. Parking, kind of a nightmare. Not barely enough parking for the multiple restaurants in the strip, but after 30 min or so stalking the lot, we found a space to park. Once inside though, utter perfection. The waitstaff are extremely knowledgeable on the offerings and made great suggestions. Every morsel was balanced and delectable and definitely one of the best meat and cheese boards we've had. Stuffed after our meal, we could pass up the butterscotch pudding, so ordered it to go and enjoyed it the next night.

Got lucky with a Friday night walk in and got a bar spot with no reservation! It was a busy evening, but the service was very friendly and timely! Which is rare on busy nights at many places. It is nicely decorated with a local Texas charm and eclectic details. Never been to this place before, and the first impression is actually very good. We got two apps and an entree to share. The mushroom pate was amazing, 5/5. The flavor was unique earthy but kid of had some acidity to it with a perfect creamy pate texture. The greens app (I didn't take a picture) was refreshing and had some kumquat slices for a nice citrus kick. Antelope(?) steak was perfectly tender at med-rare. The meat itself is as gamey as goat would be. Not too much, just perfect! Would definitely be interested in exploring the menu more and trying their brunch options as well!

My boyfriend and I keep coming back! One of our top restaurants in Austin, especially for top notch quality and flavorful food. Love they don't use any seed oils, support farmers and ranchers, and serve food that is produced in a fair and equitable way. Every time we come in my tastebuds taste heaven. I don't eat gluten and love they offer GF items on the menu. The staff are so nice and welcome and eating here feels like eating in a cozy cabin of sorts. Highly recommend Dai Due!

Medium Pork Chop

Attended a birthday dinner here and was completely blown away. If possible, you have to sit outside! The ambiance is so intimate while still feeling very trendy. Service was amazing. We had multiple people constantly helping us; clearing apps, refilling wine, and checking in throughout the night. Now to the food. The sourdough was decent, but the spread really elevated it. The blueberries in it were SO good I wish I just had it in my fridge at all times. The table loved the cold meats board. The shrimp had great umami flavor with a sweet and spicy kick. Honestly, the pork chop was so juicy and well seasoned that we regretted ordering it medium! The mashed potatoes were also great, everyone at the table took a little bite and agreed they'd be a dream for a Thanksgiving feast. It's a little pricier than I typically go for, but the quality was absolutely there!!

I had an amazing birthday dinner here a few weeks ago. The service, food, and ambiance were amazing. This was my favorite meal in recent history, no competition. We started with the sourdough and roasted beets. The sourdough was so tasty but the beets stole the show. They were to die for with the dukkah and fresh herbs. For my main, I had the medium pork chop, which was huge and cooked to perfection. The crisp edges and buttery texture were heavenly. We ended the evening with some coffee and tres leches, and they surprised me with a small birthday gelato (vanilla bean). It was the perfect cap on a wonderful meal. I loved the variety on their menu, with unusual local meat like antelope and wild boar. The restaurant was brimming with activity but still quiet enough to have a nice conversation at our booth. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and had great suggestions. I'll be back!!

I've been to this place a few times and find it consistently good. This was my first time here for dinner. I kind of liked the lunch/brunch menu a bit more. The finer menu did not have too much that stuck out to me unless you wanted steak. Although on the pricier side the food was still worth it. The mushroom had a surprisingly interesting flavor to it. The elk steak was made nicely. They didn't ask how we would like for it to be cooked. We were fine with it being medium well. So if youd like something else decently bring it up. For the whole meal we got one entree and two appetizers. I still felt like I could eat more. So take that as you may. Overall one of the few places they charge on the higher side I am more okay with. Seats are quite limited here and it's almost always packed so make reservations. I did get lucky with my walk ins though.

My wife said this is the best place for pork chops among other things. We got it and it was very good. Still the best in the city. Meatballs I personally liked better with their creamy sauce. We started with roasted beets and the yogurt was delicious and told it was pressed for a few days. Dessert also hit the spot and manager was nice and gave an extra free one because it was our anniversary. Busy for a Tuesday but plenty of parking in the back.

THE BIG: Just got renewed for their michelin green star for sustainability. This cute farm-to-table restaurant is a staple in the Cherrywood neighborhood of East Austin. Tiny lot but plenty of street parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: It's been a while since the wife and I came here so we decided to come back and it did not disappoint. For food, we got the Nilgai antelope steak frites, dry-aged longhorn cheeseburger, sourdough with wild persimmon lard, and grilled okra. I additionally had a glass of sangiovese to help pair with the meat and boy did it pair well. The cheeseburger was delicious however the nilgai antelope was a little gamey in my opinion. The persimmon lard wasn't very persimmon-y if you get what i mean. However it was very good. For dessert, we got the apple galette and peach sorbet. The apple galette was unbelieveable with great crust and fresh apples. The peach sorbet was a nice palette cleanser. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, we spent around $200 for all the food items. Definitely worth it for some fire roasted meats and all done in a sustainable fashion.

Food and service..INCREDIBLE we were sat without reservations at the bar and it was a great time. I love the easily and local options.

Kristine L.

My husband and I LOVE this spot - if you're looking for well cooked meats. We came on a Saturday night without a reservation and was able to sit at the bar. We ordered the sourdough to start. It was nicely toasted, however the back part was still cold. For our mains, we got the antelope steak frites, burger, and grilled okra. Wow wow wow, the burger was so juicy and yummy. I loved all of the sauce flavors combined. The steak frites was lean, but well cooked. The grilled okra was huge and absolutely delicious. For dessert, we got the peach sorbet (highly recommend getting!) and the apple galette. Overall, presentation was fantastic and they have a great service to match

Central Texas Breakfast
Kaleigh H.

This whole place was wonderful. I had the iced green mint tea and it was light and refreshing. We had the pecan sticky bun which was good, if a little overdone. We both had the central Texas breakfast with antelope sausage and enjoyed ourselves very much. Super cool place to visit when in Austin.

Absolutely abysmal experience…read more I purchased a whole pig to roast for a charity fundraiser. Called a month in advance to secure product. Checked in weekly on pick up date but especially pick up condition, (fully thawed). A few days before pick up i was informed they picked the pig up early and there was a risk of spoilage if it wasn't refrozen. Complete shock as we had spoken twice that very week and that was never mentioned. I said if they needed to freeze the pig in the meantime to ensure quality, fine but I still needed it thawed on pick up. Pick up= associate can't locate the animal, price was not what we agreed to, and they found it "in the very back corner of the freezer". Counter associate said "I just work here, they don't tell me anything" Needless to say, working with Hudson meat market was the biggest mistake. Even with over communication on my part, they just couldn't have cared less.

We've had a few deer processed there over the years and I can say this last one we dropped off in January for youth season was disgusting. The flavor was off, the jerky was gross, the backstrap tasted rank. I won't eat it or give to family and friends. Last time we bring our deer there.

I've been wanting to come here for quite some time, but their hours that they are open made that…read morehard to do. I thought it was odd that they would be closed on weekends when people have the time to shop along with being closed before people get off work. But those hours make sense when you realize they produce for distribution, not dine in. There's almost 30 reviews so far, but I was surprised that not a single one of them included any photos. If you're coming to this part of town, parking is always a concern in this area. The good news is that there are about eight places to park at here, otherwise you'll have to park in the street, but at least there's no kiosks. As soon as you pull in, the air is filled with that familiar smoky aroma. However, once you step inside, you suddenly realize that this is not a place you can dine in. Basically the first 10 feet of hallway is where the customer service takes place. There is a cold case with all of their sausages on display, including a little beef jerky, and that's it. I have to admit I wish they had brisket and ribs too. They do make a tamale-based sausage for Christmas as a seasonal item. The prices are very reasonable and there is no tip screen. This is not just a grab and go operation, their sausages can be found in virtually every H-E-B. So the good news is that you can find them here or at your favorite H-E-B. Check out the nine photos included.

Ultimately, I am giving a one star review, after significant thought (I am a business owner myself and understand the impact a review can have) because I believe it's the right call for the Austin community. I have had multiple unkind and downright disrespectful interactions with Draco, the second co-owner. I am NOT someone who is a "snowflake" or identifies as politically correct-- I respect dissenting opinions and welcome direct criticism and I understand that people have bad days. (To give you an idea, I'm a polictically conservative, bigger gym bro, who practices Muay Thai) My experience with Draco was repeatedly, consistently negative and genuinely threatening at times. I witnessed him treating other former members similarly or worse especially if they weren't as physically BIG as me-- I'm tall and weigh quite a bit (you'll notice the place is mostly empty during the day). There were times he blocked me (adult male) from leaving the premsis because he wanted to continue a discussion I had respectfully opted out of repeatedly. There were two different times he persistently blamed and belittled me for leaving dishes out in the kitchen-- even after I offered to fix the issue that was caused by another client. In this and several other discussions when I have attempted to resolve misunderstandings peacefully he has raised his voice, and interrupted me repeatedly, and would not let me speak. "You and me have a problem" Ultimately, I can't recommend the Sapien Center.

BUY IN STORE -- Not online…read more I truly hate writing this review because Rebel Cheese's products are excellent but the fulfillment and customer experience were a mess from start to finish. I ordered a holiday cheese box on December 3 as a Christmas gift. My card was charged immediately. The order never shipped, and I received no communication until I followed up myself, multiple times. After the holidays, I learned (only because I kept pushing) that my order had been internally canceled due to a system glitch, with no email, no refund, and no outreach. I was repeatedly told it would ship on specific dates that came and went. A replacement order was finally sent in January. It arrived late, wet, with melted and ruptured ice packs, and the cheese was very soft to the point my friends weren't sure it was safe to eat. The box also lacked the gift note that was supposed to be included. What bothers me most is that my card would have stayed charged indefinitely if I hadn't chased this down myself. That's not okay especially for perishable food. It's a real shame, because the product itself is great. But based on this experience, I can't recommend ordering gifts or anything time-sensitive unless the fulfillment and communication processes dramatically improve.

I have heard and read wonderful reviews about their products.That doesn't matter much if they don't…read moreship your order on time. I was hosting several vegan family and friends for Thanksgiving, and planned to serve their cheeses as an appetizer for all 15 guests. I followed their shipping date cut off and ordered well before the cut off. I ordered 11 days before Thanksgiving. On the Monday before I still had not received any communication about my order and their website said it was being processed. I tried to call and got a message that they were too busy to answer the phone and to send an email instead. I sent the email and the reply was We are very busy but doing everything we can to fulfill orders. They promised to overnight any orders not shipped on Monday. On the day before Thanksgiving I found out they did not ship my order and essentially asked that I understand because they are so busy. They offered to ship my order later and they would throw something in for free for my inconvenience. This was a standard poorly written customer communication. I replied and explained how after their reassurances they had left me without my order or sufficient time to find a suitable replacement. This time a got a genuine reply from Luis, but same offer full refund, or some free item. It nice for them that they are so busy that they can't fulfill customer orders on time. My experience was being left holding the bag last minute and not much in the way of an apology.

Since there are really two things to talk about here, the grocery store and the cafe. Both deserve a shoutout. Grocery If you're into health food and local Austin brands, this place has you covered. It's not a huge store, but the selection is solid and thoughtfully chosen. Lots of organic options, pantry staples, local brands, and of course, the famous popcorn tofu. It's a great alternative to the big chains, and you can tell they actually care about what they're putting on the shelves. Cafe The cafe is an underrated gem. Great sandwiches, a build-your-own salad bar, and some nice grab-and-go options like sushi. It's perfect for a quick lunch and offers healthier options than fast food. It's worth mentioning this location might be closing in the next year or two because of city mobility projects, which is a real loss for this part of town.
