Since…read morethere was construction going on outside, we chose to sit indoors, but they do have a nice patio if you don't mind a little construction noise. The ambiance inside was inviting, and our breakfast was delicious. The only downside was the service, which felt a bit slow and somewhat disorganized. That said, everyone has off days, so we're willing to give our server the benefit of the doubt. Overall, if you're looking for a tasty breakfast in a pleasant atmosphere and don't mind the possibility of a small service hiccup, I'd recommend giving this place a try.

They offer quieter indoor seating as well as an outdoor bar area with a more energetic vibe. I ordered the Brussels sprouts, and while the flavor was good, they were a little softer than I would've preferred. The brisket tacos were solid, but the real standout was the short rib taquitos , they completely stole the show. We also tried the $8 margarita, and the pour was surprisingly generous.

I really didn't want to like these donuts, because who needs a $9 donut, right? But I have to…read moreadmit, they far exceeded my expectations. Just to be clear, I AM somewhat of a subject matter expert. I have eaten all manner of fried dough creations from coast to coast, including Hawaii, and I have a lot to say on the topic. My favorite is still Cider Belly in Albany, NY, but I digress. The PB&J donut here is one of the best things I have ever eaten. I dragged it out for 3 days. Even semi-stale, and reheated in the microwave, it was still delicious. I put a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream on it which definitely helped. I also ordered a Heavenly Hash (one of my favorite ice cream flavors BTW) and a Naughty and Nice because I am all about the classics. They were both outstanding. No leftovers. I bought these donuts in lieu of birthday cake this year which may become my new tradition. Honestly, I think these are my new favorite donuts in Austin now.

Doughnuts made to order out of an airstream, you say?…read more Looks like they used to offer mini versions but that side of the menu is all mask taped over. When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

It's been two days and I'm still thinking of my meal here because it was that good. This place is…read morepopular so I highly recommend making reservations or risk waiting two hours. I love that you can sit upstairs and they play really fun music. It's a perfect place to come with friends. I loved the Lox plate, it's something that I will crave again and order the next opportunity I get. The migas with carnitas is so good too and vey filling. 10/10

This is my first trying Paperboy, I've heard many great things about it. The wait can get long on…read morethe weekends so I recommend going earlier before the rush. The ambiance in here is warm and inviting, there is a lot of natural light in here. It did get a little hot sitting at the table near the door but otherwise it felt nice in here. I ordered the chicken & biscuit along with a cheddar hash brown. I thought the food was pretty pricey but again this is Austin. The chicken was crispy, but a bit more crispy than you think it is. I had some parts where I felt like I was eating chicken jerky but the flavor was nice. I enjoyed the hot honey sauce on the chicken. The biscuit was harder than I expected it to be. Overall the food here was fine, a bit on the pricier side. Also, the parking here is limited as it is all street parking in an alley.

Not a single bad thing on the menu. The only item I would say is not worth ordering again is the…read morecalamari. Must tries: lobster pasta, burrata, tiramisu, lasagna Atmosphere is cute, I'm glad they don't play their music too loud because the tables can quite loud themselves.

I'm not entirely sure how to describe this experience. The…read moreambiance was nice, with dozens of pictures on the wall and an old-style feel. We were seated after a three-minute break, and I ordered the Joe Lioni. The chicken was very dense, and it pulled apart with barely any force. It was the texture that all chicken strives to be. The flavor was a three-way gradient: Strong lemon; to soft, heavy chicken, to a slow-building spiciness that faded quickly and painlessly. I was finished with the first piece, and about to move on to the second, but my father and sister suggested that I eat some of the spaghetti. The taste and texture can only be described as the feeling on a hike, when you come into a clearing with the sun gently filtering through the trees, and you know and enjoy that there is more to come. Very subtle and light. The pasta and chicken paired more perfectly than anything I have ever eaten before. After I finished, I got the stracciatelli cannoli, that is, the chocolate chip cannoli. I was given the cannoli, as well as a surprise bonus: the Brown Butter gelato. It was amazing. It's the next step up from custard. The cannoli was crispy, brittle, and the ricotta was smooth and rich Scraping my plate on all of these. Like a dream. Prices were somewhat steep, but worth it. 10/10

From the start, service was very attentive and timely. We started with the brisket salad, wings and the rip and dip. All were great. We were all looking forward to our entrees after a great round of appetizer's. We all ordered different plates, which worked out perfect because we all tried each other's plate. We wish we would have had space for dessert but we were stuffed. Overall, Kiin Di is a Thai Gem and we will be going back again.

Great food, but I don't recommend sitting inside…read more Food: - Dipping Roti (10/10): Appetizer with 2 pieces of roti. Amazing dip that is slightly sweet and very flavorful. Would recommend highly! - Beef Dang Curry (8/10): Spicy and great flavored curry. The beef was tender, and it paired well with the potato. - Shrimp Pad Thai (9/10): Good amount of shrimp, and the noodles are amazing. Chili flakes did not add any spice. Very yummy overall. Service: Semi-hard to grab waitress' attention to get boxes for leftovers. They started cleaning the table while we sat there. Okay service, but could be better, Ambiance: Came here for dinner, and they seated us in the middle, where there was no AC running. Dark ambiance and busy atmosphere. Took about 30 minutes for 2 people to get seated! Very loud inside.
