Parking was tight as there aren't many spots and the building is shared with an Amy's ice cream. I got the 3 sliders along with onion rings and's then had to try the mini corn dogs. The sliders gave a great introduction to their various burgers and all well good. Service was good prompt and friendly. Food came out fast and fresh. Overall solid burger spot and I'd come again!

The first slider I got was The 78704 with Pepper Jack cheese, grilled onions, avocado, jalapeños, and chipotle mayo. Sadly the sliders dont come with the right kind of bun (jalapeño cheese bun) cause the slider buns are a bit plain and very doughy feeling. Otherwise the burger was pretty good. The second slider I got was The 78750 which was swiss cheese, fried onion rings, and bacon on a the same crappy bun (instead of sourdough bun it usually has). That one i saved for later and it reheated really well actually and I enjoyed it for dinner. Tasted like a great traditional bar burger (but small cause it was the slider version). Both the regular and sweet potato fries were delicious and even reheated very well in the oven to stay crispy. They have one of favorite soda Doppelgänger and the rest of the Maine Root sodas made from pure cane sugar!

The Inferno is my go to burger here, with grilled onions, jalapeño, pepper jack, jalapeño ranch, and i have them hold the lettuce cause that just messes with the goodness.

There is just something about hanging in the bowling alley while you wait for the order to be ready. It takes me back to my childhood. The sounds and smells...

I tried the Pork Rib plate, which on Wednesday, came with two sides and a drink for $13. That's a steal, and you can add a few onions/jalapeños, pickles, etc. on the side if you're dining in. The fried okra reminded me of Player's once upon a time, and I would definitely order it again. The ribs were solid (needed a little bit of sauce on the side) and the green beans were OK. There's some great artwork inside reflecting that this spot has been around for awhile (the FM 969 is the original location that dates back to 1986 according to the website!). There's a large table outside which opens into a backyard property.

I was invited by friends to listen to Salsa music on Friday evening on the patio of the Central…read moreMarket cafe. The salsa band was quite good with many folks dancing - couples, singles, families. The music was upbeat and engaging. That's the good news. The not so good news...the patio was jammed back with people and no place to sit. We managed to run into friends who allowed us to alternate sitting down and putting our purses down. We went in several time to get some food and drinks from the Central Market cafe to no avail. The lines were massively long, which was a deterrent from standing in the line. I ended up going into Central Market grocery store to purchase some items as it was much faster than standing in the long lines. Suggest Central Market cafe hire more staff when they are having entertainment on the patio.

But it just seems excessive to pay $50 for 2 burgers, 2 fries and a sprite...especially since we could not add bacon. Good, but not worth the money. Too expensive.

They had a location in San Antonio over 20 years ago on San Pedro at the former Maverick Cafe and I…read morewas impressed with them the first time I ate there. I was impressed with the chicken fried steak and the complimentary corn muffins and sweet potato biscuits. I even got a slice of sweet potato pie once near Thanksgiving. But Hoover's closed down the S.A. restaurant a few months later. No biggie. I'll just go dine at the original one in Austin. A few months later on a rainy and ugly day in Austin in March 2006 I rode the bus from downtown to here. The restaurant was huge and roomy and I got seated but had to wait a long time for a waiter and left as soon as I saw people that got seated after me got served first. A few months later I rode the bus to here and got seated and was served by a young white guy who seemed exhausted and wanted to be anywhere except work. 20 years later I found out the sad news that Hoover's last day in business would be today May 31,2026. I drove here from San Antonio and noticed how much the restaurant has changed. It got smaller inside. Maybe the 2020 pandemic had something to do with that. I got seated and waited on by a friendly black waiter and ordered an Arnold Palmer and a cup of gumbo for an appetizer which was good, hot and satisfying. For the entree I got the chicken fried steak with black eyed peas and buttered spinach. The sides were okay but the CFS was a bit tough when I cut into it. For dessert, a slice of chocolate cream pie was the perfect way to end the meal. I came here one last time last week and got here earlier than I had arrived last time. I was waited on by a Hispanic waiter who seemed friendly but I had a weird feeling he was staring at me weird whenever he left my table. For appetizer I ordered a small cornbread and 2 biscuit muffins. They no longer served the free corn muffins and sweet potato biscuits like they used to serve 20 years ago. I got the Jamaican jerk chicken and a hot sausage link with cowboy beans and coleslaw. The beans were great and the slaw was okay. The perk chicken seemed a bit dry but good and the sausage was good but not as spicy as I expected. The cornbread was good and so were the biscuit muffins that were big for just 99 cents a pop. I ordered the banana pudding for dessert and that was a good conclusion to my last meal here at Hoover's. Hoover's Cooking is an Austin original that will be greatly missed. I hope whatever restaurant that moves into this soon to be vacant space will serve good food at an affordable price and won't be like the other places on Manor that serve outrageous prices for food that is just mediocre or subpar.

You can't go wrong, everything on the menu is a hit. We shared appetizers, like the queso w/chips and the cornbread. I ordered the special, the hamsteak and jezebel, with sides salad, mac n cheese, and with a sausage link because why not. I had to remember to save room for dessert because the cheesecake here is amazing! I had the chocolate and cranberry cheesecake, which is worth every bite. The service is also excellent. They know they're closing but that did not stop them from taking care of our group like we were family. Our group enjoyed every bit of the experience. I hope to make it back again. This place has too many good memories and we will miss every bit of it. Get some merch!
