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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
My first time here. Ordering on the QR code really makes ordering simple and easy. Drinks came immediately! Frozen Margarita tastes great. My wife had the Harlan Palmer was good. I ordered the Industry Burger. And my wife ordered the Egg Salad Sandwich. Both were amazing.
Literally one of my local favorite spots for both drinks and food!!! Everything is yummy and the service is always great. Today I want to shout out to Caden for taking care of the spot today. I always get the Industry Burger but their brisket is so delicious too!!! I try something new every time and they can't fail. They have outdoor and indoor seating with great drinks on deck and sometimes they have live music. Please try them out and enjoy the food or ping pong table.
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.
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!
Lots of open space and seating. When the weather is nice all the doors are open to let the cool air in. Pet friendly and there's some boardgames for you to play with friends and family. The staff are nice when I had questions. Place is very clean and inviting
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!
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.
Great find for food and drinks! I tried the Pastrami Sandwich and the Mac & cheese and they are award winning for a reason! I will dream about this sandwich daily moving forward, the flavors of the meat and cheese combined with the salty brisket jus were to die for. The Mac and cheese also had a beautiful flavor from the chives with a hint of spice, and was the perfect consistency, not caked in creamy sauce but just right. Since I went for lunch I didn't try the drinks but they had a suite of coffee options and alcoholic bevs as well. Great Monday specials for $7 margs if you're into that. Lovely little patio area and tons of indoor space with garage doors that open up on a sunny day. Perfect little spot on the east side for a bite or drinks with friends. Service was extremely efficient from taking your order through receiving your meal. read more

Food was excellent but service on this fine Sunday brunch was severely lacking. Ambience was ok. Plenty of room to chill with a large party. Probably will only come back for food. read more
A friend had a birthday get together here as a casual outing, and I have to say it's a pretty great spot for a large group of people. The space is large with long tables with benches, the menu is accessible via QR code and you can order and pay without having to wait for a server. The food was decent, depending on what you get. I ordered the burger, and it was pretty decent. The burger patty was a little thinner than I expected but it wasn't bad at all. I just feel like with a thinner patty, it should be a smash burger and be a bit crispy, but it definitely wasn't that style. It came with a small handful of chips, which weren't really noteworthy. I also ordered the chili since the weather called for it. It was solid but not spectacular. It had a little spice to it, or maybe it was the jalapenos I added on to it. I also tried the salsa and chips and liked them overall. Very garlicky salsa, for those who like it. Great spot for a group get-together, nice space, and decent food. 4 out of 5. read more

A nice, quirky restaurant nested in the east district, Industry offers a casual vibe for any meal of the day! We dropped by on a Sunday night for dinner, but noted their tasty looking breakfast menu for the future. I got a chicken wrap, which came with some fries and a spicy sauce. It was delicious, flavorful, and filling. We also got some sweet potato fries, which were perfectly crunchy. Outside of food, I loved the fun vibes Industry provided. Their bathrooms are actually chalk boards, with little cups of chalk in the stalls. It was a personal touch to the restaurant, offering visitors to leave a cute message for the next guest. I also loved the ping pong table, which made waiting for food more fun. read more

So I tried Industry for their brunch. Bottomless mimosas for 20. When I walked in, there was a live band playing, it was as abnormally loud. Not like a comfortable loud. So it was a bit difficult in having the only option to sit right in front of stage. It's like I had to yell to speak to my friends. But once the band left and it was the dj, the music sound was more tolerable. With not being too high. As for the Sundays, you can not order anything else but the brunch menu until 3:00pm. The service itself was quick and efficient to bring out the food. Unfortunately, for drink refills you had to walk back up to the bar for each time. There were servers but they came around every now and then. Additionally, I saw they had crawfish and shrimp outside, I'm not sure if that's a normal thing. Back to the bottomless mimosas, they do have a cut off time to grab that deal. As my other friend came in after 3pm, she was unable to get it. But the menu just says Sunday funday without a cut off time. Another friend and I were able to get the bottomless deal but our friends who came later were not. The food was alright, I feel pretty standard for a brunch. I would come back again, probably for the bottomless mimosas. I appreciate all the flavors they had for options. read more

We were here for the UT vs OHIO STATE game it was a nice place to watch the game. The service was quick the food was good. I got the chicken tacos which were good and the brussel sprouts had a nice taste. read more
Decided to check out Industry last night, it was a Friday around 7pm and they had a wedding party inside so we had to sit outside. There was plenty of space and the weather was beautiful so no complaints here. Bri was one of our servers and she was great. Very attentive, along with the others and answered our questions and gave suggestions. Ordered the nachos and added brisket which was a great idea because it was super tender and flavorful. Also got the kids cheeseburger and fries- the portion was generous so my son appreciated it. The pork belly tacos were a hit. Pork was crispy and the pickled onions added a nice acidic flavor. The fried chicken sandwich packed some flavor as well. We will definitely add Industry to our list of Eastside favorites! read more
So I finally gave Industry a shot and went for the house-ground Texas Wagyu patty topped with onion jam, Swiss, lettuce, and that tangy dill pickle-mayo on a brioche bun. Flavor? Excellent -- tender, not messy, and the jam had that "huh-this-is-different-but-I-like-it" moment. Only gripe: they were a bit light-handed with the kettle chips. Delivery came through fresh, so now I'm curious to see how it hits in person -- next round, I'm heading there to check the full ambiance myself. read more

Super casual, laid-back, and family friendly. The relaxed atmosphere makes it an easy choice for a meal with family or friends, and you'll feel welcome from the moment you walk in. read more
Cool brewery type place with average brewery food, open air seating, and an outdoor patio. Nachos ($13) sub tots (+$2) - fine, can't go wrong with tots! Pork belly Bites ($11.5) - pretty bad, would not order again. Very tough and chewy and weird. Chicken Tinga Tacos ($14) - small and tasty, the tortillas seemed fresh/homemade. The drinks were a bit slow - seemed like the staff struggling today. They automatically add an automatic service fee ends up being like 30% higher - which is annoying because there's not any actual service? read more
I had an amazing experience at Industry from beginning to end! Andres ensured that everything went smoothly for me. He really stayed on top of things and went the extra mile. Excellent customer service! I'm extremely happy with my experience and will be back for sure! I tried the hot honey wings and wish I had some extra sauce! Next time I want extra sauce for sure! Lol sweet and spicy how I like it! I had the cojita fries which were perfectly crispy and hot with some cilantro ranch. Good stuff! Not pictured but try the clopen! It's like a frozen expresso martini! Loved it! Great place for a night out with friends! Really enjoyed the outdoor patio! They have some bar games back there. It was a great time! I highly recommend! read more

Stopped by Industry for a casual brunch hosted by a friend. While ordering the cashier tells me my price for the order $23 and I hand her my card. She swipes it twice. She says "sorry your card is not working" which I know is a lie, but whatever I hand her cash and keep the line moving. When I sit down my bank acct. to make sure my card hasn't been hacked or something and my account shows a charge twice for over $40. I ask the waitress about this and she says it's her second day ask someone else. The manager then comes over and explains they always put a hold on cards at-least $50. This was a surprise to me, didn't make sense--why not just allow me to pay for my order which was under $20 (plus mandatory tip) This needs to be on big signs and explained to customers prior to ordering. It's such a shady business practice... then they add automatic gratuity of 18% which is insane considering it's not a proper sit down restaurant. This whole experience was awful and I will not be back. I ordered the chicken biscuit ($11) with a side of cotija fries ($7) from the brunch menu. Both okay but very small portions I left immediately after this. I will never be comfortable supporting an establishment like this. read more

Wow, your card gets declined or tapping your phone didn't work right…
This one is a toughie. The staffs were really nice and the vibe was definitely there. BUT the food, omg no. I ordered wings (lemon pepper, habanera, and BBQ). I've never tasted anything so salty in my life and needing to drink so much water after a meal. The fries were decent but then they killed it with the mac & cheese, which was like a weird cheese soup noodle. Seriously one star for the live jazz band and one star for the staffs. I'm hoping it was just an off night for them and the kitchen went a little heavy on the salt. read more

This place hits every time honestly! We have ordered the brussel sprouts Togo before and they are amazing! This time we got the nachos, fried chicken sandwich, wings and fries! The nachos have beans, queso, tomato, lettuce, jalapeños and a green sauce on top - very good!! The wings are smoked and fried and I got 6 for $12 in Buffalo flavor - huge wings and delicious! Service is order at the bar and very quick- all the food was out in less than 15 minutes! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating - seems dog friendly outdoors! read more

Amazing sports bar!! Great atmosphere, excellent food, and excellent staff. The sandwich I ordered was to die for, and the prices are reasonable. The smoked brisket pastrami had amazing flavor, portions were well balanced, and it sit very well in my system throughout the day. They do have happy hours throughout the week, great place to hang with friends before hitting the town. read more

Very chill brunch spot with amazing food. Wonderful experience! I ordered The Breakfast Burrito with smoked chicken. So delicious! The sauces that come on it are the perfect combination. Also enjoyed playing one of their board games, Taco vs. Burrito. Service and ambiance were great also. It is pet friendly indoors too so keep that in mind whether you prefer to brunch with or without fur babies around. read more

I went in thinking I was just ordering a humble little side of fries and some pimento cheese. What I got felt more like a mini work of art. Perfect golden fries + creamy, tangy, magical pimento cheese = a love story I didn't know I needed in my life. The presentation? Gorgeous. The pairing? Genius. The result? Me, questioning if I've been underestimating fries my whole life. Service so friendly, atmosphere great, and drinks....powerful read more

Did a quick late night stop for a quick bite before bed. I got the Mac and cheese with chicken to go...it's got a bit of black pepper type spice and is really tasty. The space looked like a cool little hangout with lots of seating. read more
The food was good, but not outstanding. This is a great place to do some work in the day or relax with friends at night. The service was excellent, everyone was so nice. There is free WiFi for guests, occasional live music, board games, table tennis, and comfortable seating. One unique thing about Industry is that they automatically charge 20% gratuity to support their staff. If you are able to tip that, it's great, however my chicken sandwich totaled at $17, without a drink or sides. If I were to come again, it would be for the bar, not for the food.
