Had not been to this restaurant in a good while, and was a last minute decision. Good choice. The whipped feta is always a treat -- light and creamy with a solid feta taste, but not overpowering, served with a few orange slices and thinly sliced almonds, and pita. Special dish! Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish. My wife had a white wine that she enjoyed and my martini, slightly dirty with olives (to start) was a large pour and very smooth. Enjoyable meal in a nice setting once again ...

This place is so intoxicating from the aqua blue color palate and funky green art work to the alluring lighting and huge metal plate (looks like something from a ship...also their logo). My brother said the green artwork looked like broccoli. My brother ordered the Idaho trout with coconut rice and Brussel sprouts. I sampled his food and it was all good. The standout was the Brussel sprouts...crispy with this absolutely delicious drizzle. I ordered the Mezze plate with a flavor explosion and many desirable texture. It had lamb kabobs, fresh salad (emphasis on fresh) with thinly sliced cucumbers, finely sliced onions and creamy feta (never had creamy feta), red round sweet peppers, hummus with the most delightful pesto like sauce, and olives. Oh my...what a delicious lunch! Morgan, our server, was attentive and accomodating. She moved us to another table when we notice our table was rocking a little. Great catching up with my brother and excellent meal!

This burger joint fills the spot vacated by Hopdoddy when they went corporate and their quality tanked. Creative topping combos, legitimately medium-cooked patties, and friendly service. I enjoyed the aptly-named Perfect Burger, a sweet and savory combo of gruyere, bacon jam, pickled onions, and lettuce. I also snagged a few fries out of my dinner companion's basket. They were freshly fried and the right amount of crispy. The restaurant could use some sound dampening, but the din wasn't enough to deter my return. 5280 is going in the rotation!

They have a lot of fancy burgers with lots of stuff on them, but I just wanted something delicious and filling...and the Ultimate Cheeseburger was perfect! Just 2 thick quarter pound burgers, tons of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, and American cheese), plus 5280 sauce and pickles. Only thing I didn't have on it was the pickles. This burger is so flavorful and juicy and is actually making me feel better. The combination of all that cheese and a touch of sauce on both sides of the bun just made my body feel good and I'll have a good sleep tonight for sure!!! Btw, despite the restaurant being very busy when I arrived to pickup my order, it was actually ready before the quoted pickup time!

There was a lively bar crowd watching college football on the TVs. There's a long high top table for larger groups having either just drinks or drinks and food. We sat at a comfortable regular height booth. I'd say the atmosphere is good for a date night or just out with friends. You can wear either casual attire or you can be more dressy. Either would fit in fine here. We had very good service, our food arrived amazingly fast after ordering. I had the grilled fish tacos, which were served in doubled corn tortillas and came with rice, black beans, slaw and pickled jalapeños on the side. It was yummy. Not a huge portion but just right to feel full. My husband had the chicken fried steak which he really enjoyed. It's not like a super thick NY strip that you'd get at a steakhouse, which he already knew. It's a normal thickness like you'd expect for chicken fried steak. The mashed potatoes and mixed veggies (zucchini, carrots, broccoli) were good too. Our grandson ordered the crab ravioli. He enjoyed it but probably could have eaten a slightly larger portion. If you're very hungry, maybe get an appetizer to start. Overall we really enjoyed our dinner. We would recommend!

We were seated right away, our server was great and our food and drinks came out quickly. The best part is the food. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked amazing with generous portions. I ate off of the brunch menu, the barbacoa eggs benedict is served on a fried green tomato and every part of it was a delicious combination. The eggs, barbacoa and fried green tomato were all perfectly cooked and the combination of flavors was absolutely amazing. I paired my brunch with a margarita infused with watermelon, this too was perfectly made and delicious. This was a wonderful meal in a comfortable dining space where the food truly tastes as good as it looks.

They didn't have the waffles with the chicken so we got a pancake, the fluffy kind but it only looked fluffy. The texture was dry. It didn't come with any kind of syrup so that added to the dryness, it reminded me of something mixed in with corn, like a corn pancake made with Jiffy box mix. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts, these were awesome. The coffee was good but the receptacle used for the refillable kind did not keep it hot. We waited for approximately an hour and our bill was about $60, we gave a 20% tip. The decor is nice, plenty of natural plants and some fake ones. The ones hanging from the top look like they need some water. We sat at a table in front of a big speaker, the music was too loud in this area.

He's an Austin native and recommended Bartlett's as his favorite restaurant in the city. When I walked in, every table--and even every bar seat--was full of people enjoying food, drinks and conversations. We didn't have a reservation, so we waited for a table or bar seat to open up. Fortunately, it wasn't long before a booth became available. We ordered the spinach dip, the French dip sandwich, and a half rack of ribs. The spinach dip was delicious and generously filled with spinach. It wasn't too salty, so the natural flavors of the ingredients really came through. Even the chips were crispy, light, and not at all greasy--a feat in itself. For me, the star of the show was the famous French dip sandwich. I try to stay away from carbs, but the bread complemented the meat perfectly. The au jus wasn't even necessary because the meat was so juicy and flavorful. The bread was soft yet sturdy enough to hold all that delicious meat and juice. It was a fantastic sandwich, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I finished the meal with a slice of cheesecake topped with lemon blueberry. It was beautifully made, not overdone, and had the perfect density. It was subtly delicious, and I can't wait to eat here again.

The glasses were dirty, the plates were dirty, and even the silverware was dirty. At that point, I started questioning the cleanliness of the entire establishment. If this is what customers can see in the dining area, I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. The restaurant honestly feels neglected, almost as though the owner opened it, moved away, and never bothered to check on it again. There seems to be very little oversight or attention to basic cleanliness. The food wasn't good either, and I was genuinely uncomfortable eating it after seeing the condition of everything around me. The drink was terrible, and having it served in a dirty glass certainly didn't help. I couldn't wait to leave. I've been to plenty of restaurants that had disappointing food or service, but this was different. Cleanliness is a basic expectation, especially somewhere people are paying to eat. I will NEVER step foot in this establishment again.

Instead, the manager kept yelling and came out multiple times to confront members of our group--including people who had just arrived. Two tables. That was all it took.
