    I've been to the Cavalier like twice. Once in 2019 when I first moved to Austin, and again last week. As a bar itself, I really like it. It's just nowhere near where I live so I never make it out. We tried their 2 for 1 Monday burger special and honestly we were a bit disappointed. The bun wasn't that good and the patty itself was very salty. Still gonna give the place a solid 4* cuz it's a cool neighborhood bar. Would go more if I lived in the neighborhood!

    Fast service! Super cute set up. And delicious! Parking can be a nightmare in this area, but we got lucky today. This is a bar, but we only got food. The environment and staff was super welcoming, and I'll def be back.

    The Cavalier is a fun bar in East Austin that was heavily Halloween decorated this past weekend. We went to check it out as part of the mini golf fundraising event for Healing With Horses Ranch. I think they won the best hole of the event too! We attempted to putt putt, donated via the QR code on the cute donkey, and tried the Things That Go Bump in the Night cocktail along with the fried artichokes which we liked. The Halloween decorations were a nice touch. They also had screens playing the UT Austin game and thankfully UT pulled it out in the end. Hook 'Em! If I'm in the area again, I would definitely go have another drink and some food at this bar!

    Cute spot- unique like Austin. Good food! Try the tallow fries- bit salty : great for drinks! The hot yolk was really great! The chicken wings were a hit! Great atmosphere inside.... And we were there for a late lunch! Have fun!

    Came back to redeem our won gift vouchers from last week. The bar tender was nice enough to put on our desired tv program. The burgers and tots here were pretty good. Still enjoy this bar the 2nd week around.

    The service was great. This was a special menu for Mardi Gras and I was expecting more from the shrimp po boy and beignets. Other than that, the bar is great! Can't wait to go back and try their actual menu

    I did this bar/restaurant in my neighborhood. The comfort food menu has something for everyone. Outdoor seating and frozen drinks, can't be beat! Friendly service.

    This was our first stop on St Patrick's Day. We came in at noon to have a couple beers and some food. It was pretty busy but the bartenders were quick to get thru the line. We grabbed our beers and placed our order for Fish and Chips. Food came out quickly and the fish was great. Fried perfectly and not greasy at all..it came with a side of fries. Gene the bartender was really friendly the whole time we were there and made sure we had beers in our hands..we have also been here for Brunch and the food was great also..this place is a great spot to just come in and chill out..have some great food and a couple drinks. Always a pleasant experience here.

    I honestly can't believe I've never written a review here! We frequent The Cavalier weekly sometimes multiple times a week. Their food, service and drinks are always consistent and they have daily happy hour and BOGO burgers on Mondays. They're currently having a Krampus themed pop up bar right now with really unique drinks. This neighborhood gem is one of a kind and we can't rave enough about how much we love it.

    Best Old Fashioned I've had in months. Fantastically skilled, thoughtful bartenders and a totally chill atmosphere that invites you to hang out and stay awhile. I'm especially grateful that they option to screen Jurassic Park instead of the presidential election results... Still probably drank to much, but more out of joy than stress and terror.

    Who Dat, this dat. Cajun inspired, Saints loving local eatery and bar. It's an absolute must. Brunch is out of this world. It's hard to say what my favorite brunch item is, but there are two always in the running. Biscuits and gravy is always the dish that pops out at me. But the biscuits with andouille sausage are an are to die for. Andouille sausage makes this dish so tasty and savory. If you have never had andouille sausage you better give this a whirl. And then there is shrimp and grits, definitely some of the best I have ever had, coming in at a close first to anything I have had in NOLA. They always have specials and once I had debris and grits. I thought I had gone to heaven. I can honestly say, there is not a bad meal on the menu. The deviled eggs are an absolute must. I love their Bloody Mary's and the beer selection handles all desires. Can I also mention the King Cakes that are available until Fat Tuesday, scrumptious delight. My son swears they are better than Gambino's. The servers and bartenders are always so friendly and eager to please. The service is on point. Sweet patio space if you choose to be outside and inside reminds you that you are part of the "Who Dat Nation." Crawfish boils are about to begin and they are great. Everyone is welcome here. Treat yourself to a great experience and give the Cavalier a try. You will never be disappointed I promise! And ps, 4 legged friends are always welcome!

Looking for a place to watch March Madness and it felt like a humid day packed like sardines in a Boston T car when we walked in and out of Lavaca. We were quite enlightened to walk into The Pub, right around the corner, welcoming us to a cool and dim space with tiled floor, trimmed walls, and embellishments of faux trees. The space wasn't overly packed and a good amount of TVs to feel supported by at least three different sporting events. Even a TV in the men's room (not women's). Service was great! Regular table sweeps. Eric at the bar was very kind and accommodating. What to order? You're in an Irish Sports Bar. A Guinness is a must. The heads were perfect. Pastrami sandwich. You won't be disappointed. And the Burger was actually pretty good too, and unique with touches of arugula and mixed brisket and ground beef meat. Of course, it's always a fun touch to have some special sauce offered. The only thing I noticed that seemed unusual was, not only an automatic tip applied but also, a credit card processing fee added to the bill. Felt a little odd and out of place. Of course, I'm not sure if this is applied with regular service, as we ordered directly from the bar (despite sitting at a high top nearby). Another observation: a lot of people ordered wine and even espresso martinis here. Either they know something I don't, or this place calls to a variety of people. Cheers!

Ticked away in a little complex without 79 visibility along with a couple of other places that don't seem to get much traffic either. Finally made our first visit so we could try "the best fish & chips" in the Austin area. I was surprised how big it was, they have a patio, a bar area and lots of tables I was shocked as from the outside it looks tiny. Service was fantastic which was shocking with them closing soon. The service was enough to want me to go back hopefully for us in this area they end up somewhere close by as I know how hard it is to find good workers. Pretzels were good! Onion rings were our favorite! Their version of the Philly was just okay, was very plain with not much flavor hubby didn't even finish half. But the star of the show was the fish and chips. My son was over the moon! Couldn't even finish half of it and he wanted to haha. Sad to see they will be closing their doors but hopefully the owner has something else up his sleeve as they were onto something with this place.

It was cooked well, if a little too much breading for my taste. The chips were really good. The tartar sauce was different than I am used to, a little runny and pink tinged, but it was good. The mushy peas were yummy and added an authenticity to the dish. I didn't really use the curry sauce that also came with the dish. To me it doesn't go with fish or chips. I did taste it, and the flavor was great.
