    Absolutely incredible food!!! I cannot express how much I love the brisket curry and bbq pork noodles. Everything is extremely high quality, unique and made fresh to order. The restaurant is tiny so there can be a bit of wait but the staff are so nice. They are newer and get busy so sometimes it can be a little slow. I have also done pickup here and been very impressed.

    Shrimp Pad Thai (togo)
    James F.

    I love Thai food; never had it until around 2008 just when I started my Yelp journey in Austin. Small town Drip actually has two new Thai places. One in a trailer and brick and mortar Rice and Oak. Heard it's an offshoot of another trailer AROI just down the road. Sitting at my desk about 6 miles away I chose to order online. Two identical orders; two different results. Square website says please DON'T arrive before the time suggested. Well, for this one it's 45 minutes out. Back to work but all of a sudden 15 minutes later my order is ready. Drove to Drip; headed back to my desk. Flavor is good but the shrimp are overcooked. Like knife to cut them. This is a premium dish at $16 plus fees, sales tax, and tip. OK, maybe it was a fluke. I try again within a few weeks. Same exact order. Again, 45 minutes out. About 30 minutes into the wait I head into Drip. Spend a few minutes swiping around on my phone. Walk in with 3 minutes togo. This time, they haven't even started my order. I ask about my food; I was told 5 minutes. At 8 minutes I'm asking for a refund. I'm IGNORED. At 12 minutes past I'm finally handed my food. Shrimp were better but this place has a few kinks to work out.

    Duck leg curry

    What a great little spot tucked away and on Mall with big flavors and great service. Stopped in for a late lunch and had a nice time! We tried the coconut shrimp app and came with green beans in the mix. Very tasty but less coconut than Im used to. Duck.leg curry was next. Good flavors but something seemed a bit off in the balance. Still I enjoyed it and the duck was very tender. My friend had the Chicken Pad Thai and she loved it. The chicken on top was grilled, so it added a great element to the dish. Thai tea was delicious, as well. Definitely worth a revisit to try other items.

    Cool atmosphere, food was incredible, only complaint was that it took a while to get seated, and then the lady that sent us was also the waiter, and she was the only one in the entire restaurant. But I would definitely go back and the food is incredible.

    What the what!! Order the brisket pad Thai... it's the BEST twist on Thai ever! Service was excellent. Food was served within 10 mins and it was delish!

    Excellent food. Meats had a great smoky flavor. The brisket was delicious and tender. Portions were on the smaller side, but pricing matches as it's quite affordable. Pictures below: Vegetable red curry add brisket and the chicken pad Thai. Highly recommend!

I can say the ambiance is wonderful. It is a beautiful place. Our previous attending and food choices/selections were fantastic. In preparation for, since two had not been there, I pointed them to the online menu. First mistake, the menu is old and requires update. I think if I had known that I would not have made Tilley's an option. The prices of everything were pretty high. And based on the food we selected, most was not worth the cost. One order included Short Rib Pasta with a thin pasta as tagliolini. Instead, I receive a pulled pork with a very thick pasta. I did not care for it. I like thin pasta. Pictures display what was provided and a typical Northern Italy dish of tagliolini. Because I am not certain of the plate names, I can only comment as to what our group had to say. And of course, the menu online is still not up to date. Steak Frites. The steak was a little tough and cold. It did not really have a real flavor. It was accompanied by fries that were not tasty at all. Thank God for ketchup. House made Focaccia, as an appetizer, was a good size that could be shared among the 4 of us. Make sure to ask for extra butter because they only provide a small container. As big as it is and 4 adults, you would think they would automatically provide enough butter for each. The night was so busy that when we finally did ask and got it, the bread was already cold. The lemon brick chicken was another favorite dish in our group. It was tasty. The best dish was the fish (cod). It was superb, since we were disappointed in our own meals, we were fortunate the birthday girl shared with us. The fish was cooked excellent. Let me summarize by saying that based on prices, staff, and time for food to come to us, it wasn't worth it. I think a better choice would have been Trattoria Lisina in Driftwood where you don't have to pay for the bread and staff is always there to take care of you and get the food to you in a more expeditious fashion. Fortunately, Tilley's is beautiful therefore the surroundings make time go by a little quicker. I did send a similar note to Tilley's, but they did not respond.

I came in here with friends and the kids on a Saturday evening to what we didn't expect - SUCH a great night ahead! Every Saturday they have musical bingo with kid friendly and adult prize options. There were like 3 kids birthday celebrations going on to top it off! So, it was pretty busy! Our food took awhile to come out due to my last statement (duh) but wow it was worth the wait. Mostly that Vendoro pizza, which was mouthwatering and devoured instantly (pesto all over the face with no shame). Since it was our first time there we got 3 beer flights and were satisfied with all of the options we had per our bartender's recommendations! I wish I could remember the guy's name that helped us but I'm sure I'll get it once I go again soon! Ah, it was just such a wonderful time. Super wholesome. Super family friendly. Everyone we encountered both customers and other workers around us were all so delightful too. I know I might say it often, but with this place I reeeally am looking forward to coming back again soon.

We ordered the spinach artichoke dip. It looked great and tasted great, but there just wasn't much of it. We each took a small scoop and it was basically gone. I had about 3-4 chips with dip, and then we were left with a plate full of chips and no dip. Usually it's the opposite, or you need to order extra chips. I'm not sure if the portion is smaller during half-price apps or if that's just how it's served. The table next to us ordered the taco appetizer and those looked really good. I ordered the fish and chips--my first time having them here--and they came out pretty dark, which made me wonder if the oil might have been old. We were caught up in conversation and I forgot to take photos of our meals. It was my friend's first time visiting, and they brought her out a complimentary dessert, which was a really nice touch. We sat on the patio and it was a beautiful night--lots to look at and enjoy. I'd definitely go back, and next time I might make a full meal out of the half-price appetizers.
