Isaac is amazing best bartender really had a great experience with him loved our conversation. Ask for him

I've been to this place 4 different times, so I think I can give a fair review. To quickly sum it up, we love this place so much that we had our wedding reception dinner here. They have a great to excellent variety of gastro-pub menu. They aren't afraid to experiment and elevate the usual fair. Often with excellent results. They have one of the best fish & chips in our city. The beer batter flavor really comes through without over powering. The Tartar sauce is prepared with a superb balance. Shepherds pie made with real lamb braised in Porter. So so so delicious. The Reuben is another standout. The housemade pretzels are the best in the city and pair perfectly with the beer cheese. My wife loves the orecchiette broccoli pasta with a tender and moist chicken. They carry a respectable wine list with prices that won't shock the wallet. Local beers on tap for days. The cocktails change with the season and never disappoint. My only complaint is that they have too many good ones to choose from. Ha! They have an excellent variety of carefully crafted cocktails that appeal to every preference, using the freshest ingredients. And do yourself a favor: save room for dessert. Dennis Van is the pastry chef. That should be 'nuff said. But if you have any doubts, the proof is in the pudding. The coconut cream layer cake is the drag death drop at the end of every meal I eat there. Sticky toffee will send you heaven. So stop reading, go eat. Now! read more

Oasthouse is our go-to with the kids, and the happy hour is great. By far, Mackenna is our favorite server - helpful, prompt, overall made the experience the best yet! read more

Kyle M. was the best!!! He anticipated our needs, made amazing recommendations for drinks to pair with the food we picked and made the experience that next level awesome. The food was delicious and the accommodated a special cocktail request, making it better than the person who introduced it to me. Can't wait for the next visit and will be asking for Kyle to be our "caretaker" for the evening. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. read more

What a surprise. They are open for lunch! I had the fish sandwich. And it was great. I'm from Boston so I mean great! Had to try the poutine. And while no cheese curds :(. It was excellent. You can tell they change oil often. Keep it suer clean and they came out twice to be sure it was great. I will come back for the burgers read more

I've now eaten here 5 times and I've grown to really love the place. We finally got to enjoy a meal outside on the patio and the playground is awesome for the kiddos. The food seems to get better each time I go! read more

Such a disappointment. I live off of wm cannon and mopac and do not venture south to slaughter and mopac often. Hahaha I miss north x northwest if that helps give you perspective on how often we visit this area. So tonight we decided to drive south and see what was new and were excited to see what took over the space! But oh my, how disappointing. Checked in for a table even though there was no line. We asked for inside seating and were told about 20 minutes so we decided to wait at the nice bar. 20 minutes later one of the hostesses comes and tries to seat us right behind where we were waiting for 20 minutes! Literally stand up turn around, take two steps and sit down. Mind you wr asked to be seated in the dining area when we arrived! We calmly declined and say we mind as well order at the bar where we are at already. We quickly place an order and nearly 30 minutes later we get served our burgers. Fries were tasty but the truffles fries were a disappointment. I ordered the black bean burger which was salty. I have never had a salty black bean burger so that was a new experience. The cheeseburger was just alright so half of it was sent back as my dining companion was over it. The bartendress was a professional. Aside from that, this place was a major letdown. We are never coming back. So if you are thinking of a quick burger and beer this is not the place for you. Did I mention it was not even packed? Smh come on south austin. You deserve better. Vote with your pocket book and try somewhere else. I suppose the children's play area gives a business the latitude to suck at food and service. But, I don't think that's fair either. What do you think? read more

This one is tough. For the location in town - it works. The beer list is a pretty good one as well. In general, the food is good. Nothing over the top. I enjoy the easy going atmosphere and space for kids to play. read more

Charming restaurant in the old NxNW space. Superb service and excellent food. Looks just like the old restaurant, but the booths are comfy and the kitchen and servers made everything look effortless. We will be back. read more

What went well: We made reservations at Oasthouse for a Saturday night and were shown promptly to our table when we arrived. We each ordered a drink and the drinks were good and the restaurant was comfortable. The fried cheese appetizer was the best food we ordered. What did not go well: First, we waited quite a bit of time between ordering drinks and being able to order food ~10 minutes. Then, once ordered our entrees came about 40 minutes later. So, this was already nearly an hour after arriving at this point. Our waiter seemed to have our whole area AND the outside patio area and I don't fault him but we went probably 30 minutes without anyone checking on us. Good thing I had water before leaving the house.. Our food arrived and my wife's pasta was missing the added chicken and it took me flagging a waiter from another table and the only solution offered was to remove it from the ticket. I ordered my burger medium and it arrived well done. I then had to flag another waiter down to get rung up and at that point our original waiter showed up. Overall, I probably won't be back to Oasthouse. This wasn't a good experience and the food did not match up with the wait or the price asked for it given the level of service and the lack of attention in the kitchen. Our waiter was very apologetic but I put no blame at his feet for being ridiculously overtasked with tables. I put the issues at the management and kitchen level. read more

So, the food was mediocre at best and totally overpriced, but the response from the business owner is even worse than the food they served us. If this business owner thinks that the product they put on the plate and our table is of the "highest quality" and charging more accurate prices for what they serve would "compromise the integrity of their food" then I have to question if this business owner has ever been to a good, well run restaurant that actually puts a quality product on the table. She says we should have told her so they could make it right. What were they going to do, all of a sudden add more meat to the sandwich, bring us a respectable order of fries that didn't seem like they had been sitting under a warmer, say "oh yeah, our mac and cheese portion is ridiculously small for the price"? COME ON!!! What a sorry attempt to turn a poor experience around on the customer, like it is the customer's fault that we are aware enough and experienced enough to know what sub par quality and value we are receiving SMH. Go spend your money somewhere that understands what a quality product truly is. read more

I love this place except for the fact they are neglecting too much on the comfort side.... The gas heaters on the patio have not been working in forever, pay or fix that so it stays warm back there please. All of the TVs suck, most don't work and the ones that do have dots across the screen. Fix all of them please so we can enjoy your entire facilities. read more

The place was nice, I had the meatloaf and it was amazing but the portion was very small for the price. It was a piece of meatloaf on top of some mash potatoes. I think maybe if it came with salad it would be a good solid meal but it was just lacking something. Again the taste of the meatloaf was great just didn't fill me up for the price. The appetizer was also lacking. I got the peppers. I was expecting like. Poppers or stuffed peppers but it was just a tray of cooked peppers with season on them and some sauce. The sauce was good but wrap them peppers in some bacon or something, put some cheese in em. So with the pros and cons gave it 2 stars because I didn't love it and I didn't hate it. Staff was friendly, place was clean. read more

Upon arrival, the host told us there would would be a 30 min wait for the patio. We asked if we could sit on the patio and have a drink while we wait. While we waited at our small two top bar table, we noticed there were 5 other 4 top tables opened and cleaned. We asked the female server in our section if she could please ask the host if we could have one of of the open tables, she told us no because they have rotate tables for servers but she would ask. She came back from talking to the host to relay the same. We asked if we could order a drink at the small two top while we were on the patio from same server while we waited, there was a long answer in why we couldn't, was told no we would have to go inside to the bar. We tried using the QR code on the table from the little tent, it told us we could order a drink, there were limited drinks on this menu we didn't want. I then go inside to the bar and ask for two drinks. The bartenders disposition was the same as the server, not very nice and direct. I asked if I could order an appetizer for our two top, he said no bc it would be like dinner service. A couple and their child walk up next to me asking if they could sit at the bar, they stated there was a 30 min wait for the patio as well. I look around, this is not a packed restaurant. The bartender very frankly tells him no, any one under 21 is not allowed to sit at the bar. I looked at the couple and said, "there are a lot of rules here." They agreed. I discussed with the strangers understanding why kids couldn't sit at the bar for TABC reasons but there was no alternative options offered by the bartender. I said loudly "I would be writing a review". By the time I got back outside with our drinks, my friend had a table (there was still 5 other open tables on the patio). About 30 mins into our meal, the Mgr came over and asked if there was anything she could do for us. She looked visibly upset or angry. It seemed the bar personnel had told her what happened. I explained to her our experience. Bri was not sympathetic or kind, you could tell she was just trying to get through the conversation but was visibly angry. Her attitude made us even more turned off by the restaurant. We realized then the other employees training is likely due to managements disposition. She offered to buy us two drinks. We accepted. Overall the signature drinks we purchased were not great, the anche drink tasted like a watered down Bloody Mary. My friends and I are margarita connoisseurs. The other agave drink was not tasty either, both $11 drinks. The food was pretty good and the playground is lovely for the kids. These two things are the saving grace for this restaurant. This was our first time here, we live in Circle C and won't be returning. read more

I've been to the Slaughter Ln location twice. The first time was for my birthday, so I didn't see the charges on the bill. The majority of the food was good (my son doesn't like Ruebens, but he liked the Reuben appetizer they had). They even gave me a card signed personally by the staff along with a $10 gift card which was really nice! My issue & the reason I'm giving 2 stars is this time I paid & I was totally shocked at the prices of the drinks! The dinners are reasonably prices (mostly in the $17-$20 range); however, my son had a Manhattan & I had a Mule but with Don Julio Tequila instead of vodka ... his drink was $20 & my drink was $28! Now I know why the prices are not listed on the drink menu. I have never been to a restaurant where the drinks cost as much as if not more than the dinner meals! Bottom line if you go here ... try the food, but be careful with the drinks you order as those drinks may just break the bank. I've attached a pic of the charges on the receipt as FYI. read more

I met some friends for lunch/brunch on a Friday. We had the pretzel for an appetizer, nice coloring and very soft. Our waiter addressed us all as "friend", which seemed weird. But he was attentive as well as the manager who came around multiple times as well. For my entree I had the chicken schnitzel. It was cooked very well and had great texture. It was served with spaetzle and peas and a nice dijon cream sauce over the schnitzel. Great atmosphere and not really busy for a Friday Brunch. read more

This was our first visit to Oasthouse. Kudos all around. Having no idea they had a north locating, we accidentally made a resy their instead of South. The door host immediately indicated no problem. She summoned Manager Johnny who accommodated us with 2 minutes. He also called the North location as well to notify them. Atmosphere was relaxed and not stuffy. Menu was broad and appealing. I had grilled Brussels and calamari off appetizer menu and my bride had Reuben. All were reasonably priced and excellent. Wait staff Cameron was spot on with service and Johnny checked on us as a courtesy. Well done! Easy to recommend Oasthouse and we will be back. read more

This location is convenient, but we have never had great service except at the bar. The bartenders make an amazing whiskey sour.

Went here recently with a friend, but overall felt a bit underwhelmed. I got the burger with pimento cheese and corn relish along with some truffle flies. The burger was cooked well but overall was pretty bland for all the potential flavors it had going on. Loved the truffle fries vut would pass on the burger. Not sure if I would go again. read more

Oasthouse - Truffle fries and pimento cheese burger with fried egg - Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

One of the best steak and frites in town. Tender wagu beef cooked to perfection. Calamari was crispy with a nice kick to it. Dessert was disappointing. Had the date cake with caramel and was very dry. Service was prompt and friendly. Another negative is when they suggest a tip per the payment app, it calculates the tip on the total bill inclusive of tax. No one wants to pay a tip on taxes. They need to correct this. Overall was a good experience and we shall be back. read more

I visited this restaurant with family members for dinner. We found the service to be friendly and attentive but the food was just average. I had the chicken schnitzel, which wasn't particularly flavorful. It was our consensus that there are other restaurants in the area that are superior. read more

Oasthouse - Chicken Schnitzel - Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

We decided to try this place. We ordered the Chicken Schnitzle and the Reuben sandwich. I asked if it was really schnitzel or if was it a chicken fried chicken. The server assured me it was a schnitzel with homemade spaetzle. They brought it out and I was not surprised to see a chicken fried chicken. The spaetzle was dried and not edible. When the server came back and asked what it was I said it was not very good and whatever they were calling spaetzle was not. She said yea sometimes they fry it and sometimes they boil it. Huh? The gravy was so salty it was hard to eat. This place looks like an OK place to have drinks and maybe a burger. They are trying to pass the food off as anything remotely German is a joke. Just call it what it is, a chicken fried chicken. Check out the shriveled peas in the fried spaetzle. read more

Makenna was the BEST! Wonderful experience all around, she made it 10/10. Food was great. Wine was great. Service was great.

Emily...made HH a blast! Hang out on the patio! Bring your friends. Come early, stay late.

Burgers and brussels sprouts are awesome! Happy hour is pretty good as well. A nice restaurant and bar set up too.

Nice patio with a small playground. Good service. But the avocado toast I ordered was too pathetic. A small piece of toast with barely any avocado on it, very thinly spread, some pickled onions and a poached egg. The side salad took up 3/4 of the plate. I understand inflation is driving up prices but this was a ridiculously bad meal, do not order. read more

Great food. Unfortunately no longer on InKind program. Still worth trying. Good Happy hour.

I came in tonight with my husband and child. The patio was perfect for our kiddo to play while we enjoyed our happy hour drinks. The service was wonderful Makenna did a great job, she was super attentive even with how busy it was! Food was also delicious. read more

Great but usually short staffed. Nice play area in the back. Bring the whole family, furry ones included.

Their "Ocean Trout" dish is actually farm raised salmon. After our meal was finished, we asked the server if the fish that was provided to us was salmon instead of trout and she laughed saying "there are no trout in the ocean" and that it was actually salmon. Then right before the server brought over the check, she backtracked and basically lied to my face saying that it wasn't salmon and that it was indeed trout. And the fact that it looked, tasted and smelled like salmon was because "ocean trout are very big and live in the ocean". $80 for two 4 ounce filets of farm raised salmon. Not going back. read more

Great for kids. Good flavors. BUT expect to wait 1 hour + for a sandwich even when place is dead.

The food here was super good! They're currently only operating at 50% due to COVID but we were seated within 10 mins of getting there. The service was great considering they were short staffed. We had the calamari and seasonal Brussel sprouts as our appetizer and then had the forest burger as our entree. Everything is made to order & tasted delicious! read more
