It was my first time in Austin and my first BBQ place in Austin. Safe to say they did not…read moredisappoint! Food 5/5: I got the Classic Beef Brisket and it was delicious! It wasn't too salty which I was scared of with many BBQ dishes. I paired it with their waffle fries and it was great. I should've gotten another one! Ambiance & reservations 5/5: We stayed downtown and getting there was a breeze. I'd recommend getting reservations just in case since it was the weekend. Service 3/5: the server was sweet but she took awhile to get back with us. We waited awhile for the BBQ (which happens at most BBQ), waited 30-40 min for her to come pick up the check, and then waited another 30-40 min for her to come back with our checks. Overall I'd recommend for the food but make sure you don't have anything planned right after!

Nice two-level downtown location. There's a little bit of a speakeasy vibe because there's not a…read morebig sign outside and it's quite dark inside. Walk-in wait was 45 min but we opted for bar seating on got lucky right away. The bar offers a good selection of beers on tap and they have a separate whiskey/bourbon drink menu. We ordered the BBQ (of course) pork ribs and Texas brisket. The brisket was noticeably dry. Fortunately, they give you cute glass bottles of BBQ sauce, hot sauce and a mustard blend. The country style pork ribs are fantastic - tender to the bone, succulent with flavors, but not a rub that's overwhelming on the palate. There's not much else - the scant amount of coleslaw is lacking, and even though we ordered two entrees, we received only one dinner role. I asked for extra bread and got charged $4 for two more rolls which is annoying and also a poor business practice. It's also confusing how you order two things for two different people and it all ends up on the same plate. And then they asked if we were sharing? The value simply isn't here - total bill ended up being $75 before tax and tip. For three ribs and overdone brisket. I suppose there were some onion rings and pickles in there as well. I'm trying another place next time. That's all.

What an amazing experience I had at this restaurant yesterday. Texas borderers really knows how to…read moregive you a great meal at a great price. Even as yesterday was a holiday, they had some great specials and it was really nice to see a restaurant still provide this on a holiday. They had by any burger and get their regular cheeseburger for free. So we got two hamburgers and they were absolutely fantastic. The burgers were perfectly cooked and fresh and tasted amazing. Every burger is served on a brioche bun and it was perfect. They came with fresh french fries that were seasoned perfectly. Our server was super friendly and answered any question that we had and she was very attentive. She also offered us to go drinks and we really appreciated that. The restaurant was crowded, but you did not realize it because the service that you were provided was top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant for anybody who wants a good meal at a great price. Their menu has also grown a little bit and the choices are unlimited. I am so glad that we chose to go to Texas borders yesterday and I will be back really soon. Great job Texas borders you guys absolutely know what you're doing.

A bit sad to learn that this place was already closed because I had some good memories there with…read moremy friends. When I was there, I thought the food was pretty good, but I could see how the restaurant only got mediocre reviews. Overall the food leaned towards oily, but they definitely had seasoning and the taste. The gumbo was big and filled with good content, although I would personally loved to see more seafood mixed in instead of just at the top. The lobster roll didn't have enough butter but had an abundant amount of lobster which was always a plus. The ahi tuna itself tasted tender and flavorful, while the spinach and mashed potatoes relied on the juice for flavor, which was not ideal but fine. The chicken was well-cooked and flavorful, which explained why it was a signature dish. Finally, the fried shrimp on the po-boy had too much dough and not enough actual shrimp. That po-boy overall only tasted okay. I wanted to add my input here even if this location is closed because I dined here in 2021 and had been delaying reviewing this establishment ever since. Regardless, it's good to see that they still have a location open in the suburbs.

The menu offers a wide variety that caters to every palate, but it feels like it's trying too hard... I ordered the Clam Chowder, Ceviche, and the Lump Blue Crab Cakes. My Clam Chowder arrived cold, along with the rest of our party's dishes. The service was slow, including the drinks, which didn't help the experience. I was expecting Truluck's or Eddie V's, but instead, it was giving something worse than Pappadeaux's...

Beautifully placed under huge, spreading oak trees, plenty of parking, large patio areas for live music venues, quaint air-conditioned interior with a large back-bar. The food was excellent -- very well done burgers and a grilled chicken sandwich well worth the money. The menu isn't expansive, but has plenty of options, including some very neat appetizers such as fried alligator or fried pickles -- which are not shown on the website menu, but were definitely on the in-house menu. They have a lot of different beers on tap, too. Clean restrooms, friendly, knowledgeable wait staff. Definitely will be adding this one to our list of local outliers worthy of a 45 minute expedition.
