Industry - Wings and they were wonderful! - New American Near Me - Austin, Texas

Excellent restaurant the waitress super good excelente service. Good customer service

Fun, relaxed vibe! The food came promptly and had gluten free buns. It was a colder day in Austin so we couldn't eat on the patio but that would be a fun option for the future. read more

Ok so yet another pending review draft. And this one is crazy to be sitting for so long. Why you ask? Literally every single time one of my sisters comes to town to visit, she has to go to Industry. She just loves it so much. I am a fan as well. I really like the outdoor patio especially in the evening after the sun goes down. It's also convenient to take Sir Benjamin with us for patio seating. Important to add that it is counter service, meaning you order at the counter and then grab a seat. I'm all for this, its' easier and very European. They often have live music and deejays spinning. Bonus. Service is always good. Food: I can't visit without having the blistered poblanos. My fave! The poblano mac and cheese is killer! My boyfriend loves the brisket tacos as well as the rice and beans dish. My sister loves the brisket pastrami as well as chicken biscuit. Boyfriend also loves the egg salad sandwich. The brekkie bowl and the brunch bowl are both stellar choices as well. I am a bit of a snob when it comes to frozen boozy coffee drinks (I have my faves) and they do one that is right up there with my other faves. I really don't have anything negative to report from our multiple visits. read more

I've been to Industry many times in the past few years. They have a great space which airy and spacious so it often hosts events. One time I attended an event that had their catering, which included a tray of grilled Brussels sprouts. I don't think I've ever eaten so many brussels sprouts in one night! Since then, everytime I came here I've always ordered the grilled brussel sprouts. At times it can be inconsistent (oilier than I like), but most times it's good. The grilled catfish is also a winner. I also like their cotija fries, which is crispy and has the right thickness. They're a bit sauce heavy, so I always ask for my sauce/dressings on the side. The default 20% tip is a bit steep for non self-service restaurant, but I noticed it before coming in. Otherwise, I might get annoyed like some other reviewers. One thing I don't love is that they offer free food in exchange for Yelp or Google reviews. That makes me question how truthful some of the 5* reviews are. read more

I loved this place. My friends and I had never been but wanted some good American food before a concert. When you walk in, you choose a place to sit and order off your phone which makes it so easy and fast! We got the Texas trio and Brussel sprouts for appetizers which were both good. We wished the Brussel sprouts would have had more glaze on them. I loved my salad and tacos. I was so pleased with everything we got. The inside was nice and also had some outdoor seating. Lots of room and TVs. I'll be back! read more

I love Industry! We have eaten dinner here many times and have never had a bad meal. Super easy to order at the front or at the bar and then your food is brought out quickly. I love that they even have great veggie options. I get the BBQ Salad $17.00 with smoked cauliflower tossed in BBQ sauce, kale, corn, poblano cream, Texas slaw, fried onions, and pickles. SO good! I also love the smoked cauliflower tacos, chips and salsa, and especially the poblano mac and cheese. We always get a side of this to share every visit. They have discounted drinks each day of the week. I love their mezcal margs. Big open space with trivia, live music, etc. Really nice people too. 5 stars every time! read more

Came here with my two friends not knowing what to expect and I left wanting to go back! I unintentionally webt during happy hour and they had $2 tacos and they were delicious!! The queso was amazing! And they had Aguas Frescas! Will definitely be back plus they validate parking and there's plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. We were confused how to order first but overall great experience. Service was nice and place was clean. Music was a little too loud for me but I was still able to hear my friends. read more

The place is very pleasant, the music level is perfect to still have a conversation. They have a lot of space to sit outdoors and indoors. There's also A LOT of specials which is awesome, almost makes you want to come every day to try it all. read more

My husband and I stopped at Industry when out on our EBike ride. We parked our bike and walked in. It was very loud as they had a live DJ playing. We looked at the menu and placed our order at the counter and got a number. The restaurant has a lot of seating, a good size bar, and an outdoor space with seating. We chose to sit inside with a view out the back. At the time we went they were having a crawfish special. Not sure if that was a limited time but it was an option that day. My husband and I got our food in stages as it was prepared. The people that brought it to our table were friendly. For a starter we ordered the chips and green chili queso. It was just okay. The chips were thin and crispy but tasted a little stale. The queso was kind of bland. For our meal we shared the Brisket Pastrami Sandwich which comes with dijon mustard, pickles, swiss cheese, bacon, onion jam, and brisket Ju. It was good. The pickles were put on the side but I added them to my sandwich. They were crisp and sweet. The sandwich could have used a little more meat but it was good. Our sandwich came with potato chips. They were crispy. We also shared the Beefcakes which is buttermilk pancakes with brisket, bacon, and berry compote. The syrup is on the side. This was the star of our meal. The pancakes were fluffy and the brisket was good. I just wish there was more of it. The bacon was chewy but it was okay. The compote was really good. The flavor of all of the ingredients combined made for a salty and sweet mix. I tried a small amount with the syrup which added to the sweetness but this meal really didn't need the syrup. Overall Industry was an okay place to stop with plenty of seating, decent service, and good food. read more

Someone call Jessica Simpson bc the whole vibe had my boots walkin. This industry could be an entire economy by itself between drinks, ambiance & fries? They were some boot lickin good fries.

Hit up industry on the east side & don't forget to tip bc that's what Americans do read more

Went here for the first time on a Sunday and it was poppin! Live music, which was great. The seating situation is a little confusing for it being our first time and had to find a server to figure out how the process works but you order at the counter (or table) and then find any open table. We had to kind of buss our own table and although I know it was busy, it just seemed a little disorganized and hence the loss of stars. Drink wise, they weren't our favorite cocktails but that's fine. Food wise, we ordered the breakfast burrito which was delicious, along with the pancakes and Smashburger. All great. read more

Y'all. Not impressed. I'm one of those who hates our current tipping culture. Everything asks you for a tip. Order standing up? Retrieve your own food? Cleanup after yourself? And people still have a tipping option starting at 18%? WTF. Industry isn't that bad. I mean, at least they bring you your food...and maybe check on you once during your visit. But still...my wife and I placed our order standing, and before I knew it they automatically charge 20% minimum gratuity and give an option to give more. I was so pissed. I was even more ticked when the food came. The fish sandwich might as well have started out as a pre-made frozen patty. Not convinced I shouldn't look at Costco for them. I wouldn't buy them of course...it was bad. Oh, and I think I only counted ten chips. They seem to think only a small, toddler size portion of chips appropriate. Too much money, too little food, and my food was not good. . The only thing this place has going for it is the ambiance and vibe. I liked the alfresco feel. Inexplicably, my wife and I tend to prioritize Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives locations when we travel. Although neither one of us knew this was a "DDD" location... this place followed the overall trend of immense disappointment. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves!? read more

Industry never disappoints! We've been here multiple times and it's become our go-to spot for a great vibe and even better beer. They have a beautiful outdoor seating area, and the indoor setup with long tables and benches makes it perfect for big groups. The service is always top-notch. This visit, for appetizers we ordered, the Industry Nachos, Crispy Cotija Fries, and the Green Chile Queso and for mains, the Roasted Veggie Sando is a fantastic vegetarian option, and the Industry CFC was delicious. As beer lovers, their draft selection is why we keep coming back. In our recent visit, We enjoyed the Jester King Sasha Hazy IPA, Altstadt Bock, and Live Oak Hefeweizen--all incredibly refreshing. (Though their cocktail menu looks tempting too!) Don't leave without trying the Pecan Pie; it's my absolute favorite. They also host cool community events--spotted a poster for a singles night this time. Highly recommend! read more

I like this spot a lot! I went for a Yelp event and have been back a couple times since, so they really earned my business. Hearing the owner talk about his philosophy on tipping was fantastic, which really got my buy in. Service fees are included so no additional tips are required in order to make sure your service person makes a living wage. Love it. Not just because math is hard. They have a great selection of bourbon, which is fun to explore. They also make a tasty espresso martini as it should be made. One of our friends had a carajillo which is less common but equally tasty. The food selection is diverse, but I wish they served breakfast all day. I would go too much if they did, so I guess that's good they don't. I really like the bowl with quinoa and various veggies. It's a chill spot to grab a drink and was super fun for sports too! read more

Industry - Bar and ordering area - New American Near Me - Austin, Texas

We had a great time with a group of 10+! Ordering off the QR code and open seating was very convenient. We went on a weekend night during mid December, so I'm not sure how busy it gets when there's more people in town. The drinks were pretty good and there was a variety to choose from. I ordered the chicken tinga tacos and I thought they were delicious! It came with chips and salsa. My friends ordered different things and it seems like everyone enjoyed what they got. I'd recommend this place for the convenience and variety to choose from in a large group. Not sure about the parking situation since we ubered but typically there's a lot of street parking in East Austin. read more

I usually have a pretty good experience here, but unfortunately my last visit wasn't the best. I ordered a Carajillo on the app from their menu, but the bartender came and told me they were out of liquor 43 so I had to swap to an espresso martini. I also ordered the kids chicken tenders as a snack and while the fries were awesome, the tenders came out looking pretty dark. I tried to eat one and it was very overcooked so I didn't eat the other two. On the positive side, I appreciate this establishment's hours, always love the music being played, and appreciate that it is always easy to find a seat. I'll probably still return on another occasion, but maybe not for food. read more

Absolutely loved the wings. It's a casual spot in a great location. The menu ranged from tacos, burgers, sandwiches, nachos, wings, fries and side dishes. The menu stated the wings were #2 in Austin, so I had to give them a try. The smoke fried wings were incredible. The flavors were excellent, and they were crispy. I also had the macaroni and cheese, which I enjoyed. I ordered the sangria, but it was too sweet, so I ordered the old fashioned. The service was fast, but orders are either placed at the counter or from the table using a QR code. I would definitely come back for the wings. read more

Went there the second time last weekend to try some other items! First of all, clopen is a must try on the cocktail menu. It was such a delightful cocktail to sip on while sitting outside and people watching. Industry burger was really good, I appreciate the fact that there's no tomato's in it. I pretty much didn't have to ask to skip them, yay! My only complain is potato chips on the side instead of fries, pretty odd choice. Maybe would make sense to have it as an option between chips and fries. Texas Fish Fry, felt like a play on fish and chips, which was a very solid dish with a nice balanced of flavors and contrast of textures. The service was great. The staff is very friendly, just like last time. Somebody always walks around to check on the tables and take empty dishes/glasses away. read more

Sunday brunch Galentine's event at Industry! Shout out to my girl, Christine at Brunch Loud for hosting her very first Gal's brunch! We had a time and I am looking forward to next month's event in Austin! Now back to Industry This was my first time here and I've had it bookmarked for a while. I had a few mimosas, They have so many flavors for you to choose from. I like cranberry and pineapple! The bartender was super nice and the service was prompt. Y'all already know, I was hungry!! So of course everything looked good on the menu but I definitely wanted to try the biscuit and then I needed some protein so I ordered an à la carte egg and bacon. Everything was delicious. Those biscuits are something special and I want that recipe. Y'all... that bacon is so good. You gotta get you some!!! Anywho, I was there from 11:00 a.m. till probably 3:00 p.m. And this was mostly for my girlfriend's event. She had a live band called Hello Chaser, They were so good and fun and really engaged with the crowd. The Industry crew did such a great job keeping the drinks flowing and making sure everyone had a great experience! I'm looking forward to coming back again and trying more yummy food off of that menu!!! read more

Austin, Tx. This is a great place for lunch on the Eastside. We walked in and sat right down at a table on the outside patio. It was a nice day and relaxing. They keep the tables and patio clean, not like other places that just clean up after lunch. Our brisket tacos were great, the meat was tender and perfectly spiced. They were a decent size too, none of this "Street Taco"nonsense. We weren't drinking beer on this day but the server brought us plenty of non chlorinated water. I appreciated the quick service and cleanliness after walking by Franklins where people have been lined up since the early morning at an old dingy dirty establishment. The tacos are pricey, $6.00 each. I personally will come back but certainly not on a daily or even weekly basis, read more

We never received our drinks, and one drink was voided despite asking two different servers to check on it. Our party of six also had one person who didn't receive their food until 30 minutes after everyone else. When we asked for updates on our food, the servers were rude and dismissive. Overall, the service was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Come here for a solid "keep Austin weird" vibe complimented by games and insanely tall ceilings in this rustic and wooden burger spot! Hands down the brussel sprouts was the best appetizer - the crunch from the brussel sprouts and candied pecans and the Dijon bourbon glaze went together so well. Easily a top 10 appetizer for me, will always get this. The nachos with brisket are as they sound - with a good portioning of brisket and everything you need in a nacho platter. The industry burger had a wagyu patty and bacon/onion jam which made the sandwich absolutely delicious for me. I'm a sucker for jam-based hamburgers. (Not shown) We also had the bread pudding a la mode where the candied pecans were a very nice touch. The staff was friendly and accommodating - thank you! Can't wait to return here. read more

This place is really good. I don't even like egg salad but the egg salad that I ordered blew my socks off, it's not like any egg salad you've ever had, I had no idea egg salad can actually taste that good. Also dog friendly so bring your dog and have the bartender snap a Polaroid and put it on the dog wall while you're waiting on your egg salad. 10/10 just seems like that special place you wanna spend time at. Also really liked the banana pudding for desert after I finished my egg salad, staff was so friendly and kind. read more

When it comes to getting hearty brunch, a few locals recommended Industry, and to my delight, it's quite a nice, lively place. The Brunch Bowl is where it's at, too. This is a playful, delicious mix of soft and crunchy texture from the field greens and seasoned tots, coupled with smooth and tangy flavors from the poblano cream that's accentuated by the garlic rice. There is a lot going on here and it works quite well. If anything, I'd do less with the poblano so the other flavors would stand out a bit more. But overall, a good dish and a nice, open airy ambiance that's perfect for a solo or group outing! read more

Attended a networking event here on the patio and I was not disappointed. The wings here are pretty good but I wasn't too thrilled with the beans and rice. We opted for a drink called Tomorrow's problem...it really is tomorrow's problem lol. All the staff were friendly and checked on us continuously. I like the decor as well as the location. Heads up there is parking on the street but overpay for time because the meter maids are definitely outside!! I hope to try out more of the menu items next time I visit. read more

This is a review based on a take-out order. I got the Smoked Brisket Pastrami sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches I've eaten! I skipped using the brisket au jus cause it was delicious already (and to be honest i forgot it was in there till the end - so i tried it and it didn't add anything to the flavor. The texas bread is so soft and the 10 day brined brisket was so tender and flavorful with the Dijon and bacon jam. The price is steep at $18, but I had a gift card and am so glad I picked this! It came with potato chips which seemed very fresh and possibly made in house. I also took advantage of Mescal Monday she got a margarita to go!! In regards to service. When I walked up to the counter a nice young lady rushed over to help. She said "you must be Kevin" cause it was 4:30p and I had the only pickup order. My food was ready before the expected ready time too!! I wish they had a customer service 15 minute parking spot in front, for pickup orders, but that's nothing against the restaurant. There was plenty of parking on the street and you just have to be quick. On another day i ordered the blueberry habanero wings! First of all, i feel they are definitely worth the $12 (for 6). The wings are moist and the flavor is very unique and delicious. I also got the sweet potato fries which come with a yummy spicy sauce. I wish the fries were a like crisper but they still were tastey! read more

Came back here to try more of the menu. Still very satisfied with the food. I really like the outdoor seating which was more quite. I do wish that the burger came with fries instead though, kettle chips were kind of an odd choice. read more

I've been to Industry a few times, some of the most recent for the Yelp Elite event and another time after that on my own. I love their poblano mac and cheese; it's the GOAT (but not made with goat cheese, thankfully, that ruins mac and cheese imo). The portion size is decent but not oversized. More importantly the mac and cheese is creamy, dreamy, and perfectly salty and savory. The deep fried poblano peppers on top add the right profile, a subtle sweetness and crispiness that takes it over the top. In addition their Brussels sprouts are delicious as well. Sweet and savory, the best combination. read more

Overall disappointing experience here with a large party. You order via QR codes on the tables. Each table has its own so if you are a bigger group just pay attention to which one you scan. Food generally comes pretty quickly. Drinks took a while. The food tasted pretty good all around, nothing mind blowing but also no complaints around the entire table on their meals other than the side of chips that comes with some of the meals being only like 6 total chips. However, several other issues are driving my review down. First, issues with the ordering and billing. Two of our drinks ordered early on never arrived until we asked about them and then they were made and delivered. Then, a random drink we didn't order showed up at the table. Then, several things we ordered via the QR code were actually out of stock and not available. This should be adjusted on the website in real time so you can't order them, but whatever, I know things run out quickly and they are busy. Here's what really annoyed me... they said they'd remove it from the bill. They didn't. We were in a rush to leave (more on that later) so I ended up noticing 2 days later when I looked at the email receipt that I was charged for 13 shots, when they only had enough for 4. That's an extra $81 for anyone tallying at home. Plus a couple beers that they were out of too. My fault for not catching up front, but feels very disingenuous when they specifically said they'd remove the charges for us. Finally, one person at our table wasn't feeling very well and got sick at the table. Most of it was contained and any that wasn't, was largely wiped up by our party. It did not disturb other guests as there were none very near to us. We immediately took that person toward the exit and called a ride. While this was happening, someone came out from behind the bar and started screaming profanity at us, saying "get the ** out", etc.. Completely unprofessional and unnecessary especially for the person who was already obviously embarrassed. Look, I wouldn't want people getting sick in my bar either, but it comes with the territory a bit, we did our best to contain/clean it, and that person was immediately leaving. Should the person have gone to the bathroom or outside when they could feel it coming? Probably. But there was absolutely no need for the profanity riddled rant. Someone said it may have actually been the owner berating us - but I don't know that for sure. We just spent hundreds of dollars here, maybe cut us a break. I will not return here and recommend others also avoid. read more

Often, when I dont have a good experience at a restaurant, I try to give them grace and visit multiple times before coming to a conclusion and unfortunately, I've done that with Industry and my 1 star still stands. I've visited Industry and three different occassions and the overall theme, is overcharged/mid service (and no, I dont mean a subjective overpriced but rather actually overcharged). The first time I came to Industry, I stumbled across it when another plan failed. I ordered a bloody mary & chiliqueles, and while the chilaquiles were fine, the bloody mary never showed. After waiting 30m (during a time they were not at all busy), I had to flag someone down to ask for a refund. The second time, I came with my partner and he was charged regular price despite it being happy hour. The third we went was to view a world cup game. I understand that they were slammed in a way that they werent anticipating so I completely understand why it took so long to get drinks and food but what I cant overlook is the fact that they mistook my order multiple times in ways that benefited the business. They uncharged me multiple times for drinks and although I ordered items off their all day happy hour menu for ladies (as was their special for the day), I was given items not from that menu and charged full price. Several members of the group that I was with experienced issues with their orders. I encourage people to experience Industry for themselves and make their own judgements. They have some really great happy hour specials and other specials. However, from my limited experience, I will not be returning read more

Really thankful that I got to try their pastrami sandwich that was featured on DDD. Now let's get into the review, between my friend and I, we tried the Pastrami Sandwich, Cotija Fries, and the Brisket Tacos. For the pastrami sandwich, it was flavorful, until I added the sauce that came on the side. It wasn't clear what the sauce was (I thought it was either soy sauce or a kind of sweet sauce), but when I dipped the sandwich in it, sure the sandwich was easier to eat, but all the flavor from the sandwich (the butteriness of the toast, the meat, the cheese) was strangely diluted such that I couldn't taste the sandwich (which on its own was great) after adding the sauce. For the cotija fries, they were pretty standard thick cut fries, but I couldn't taste the cotija, even on the cheesiest fry, the cheese added almost nothing to it flavor-wise. Lastly, I didn't try the tacos, but my friend said that she thoroughly enjoyed them. The atmosphere of the place is very much a place where coworkers would hang out or the kind of place that corporate offices go to for a team get-together, but mixed with a bar. The place was pretty loud both because of people and the music playing and it seemed like a fun place with the amount of local events they're hosting. I can't say that I would return to this place, but I am grateful to have tried it. read more

My wife and I went to Industry recently to watch some World Cup games. The place was packed. I loved the energy in the building. They have tons of TVs and options to sit inside or on the outdoor patio. The service is fantastic. Their happy hour and daily specials are amazing! I definitely plan on returning again. read more

Rating: 4.1/5 [dine in] The space is huge and great for large gatherings. Service was minimal though, and they also automatically add 20% tip to all checks which we weren't fans of. Mezcal Margarita ($7 on Mondays): We were worried it might be watered down, but it was actually really good - strong and didn't taste like bottom shelf at all. Texas Fish Fry ($18): Cornmeal-fried Texas catfish, fries, house tartar sauce, and chimichurri. The piece of fish was huge and delicious, though the crust was pretty salty--definitely something to wash down with your drink. We swapped the regular fries for sweet potato fries, which were solid. Brisket Tacos ($15 for 3): House salsa, avocado crema, cilantro, fried onion, flour tortillas. The tacos were just okay. The brisket came cubed, which probably wasn't the best choice for tacos. Each component tasted good on its own, but they didn't come together as a cohesive bite. The chips and salsa were good. Pork Belly Bites ($11.50): House black BBQ sauce, sesame seeds, fried kale, and green onion. A little dry and slightly overcooked, but still tasty. Loved the fried kale. Crispy Brussels Sprouts ($9): Dijon bourbon glaze, green onion, and candied pecans. Not crispy, but they were well-seasoned. 4 Grilled Shrimps ($5): Basic but juicy. Not something I'd order again, though. read more
