We came here to redeem the vouchers we won during the F1 event the Sunday before (it was also Sunday and also a race day again). It was pretty warm outside and I asked if we could watch the race inside. At first, I was told they can't play anything but football on the inside TVs, which was completely understandable and I was not going to ask for again nor be upset about. But the bartender was kind enough to put it on anyway. Please don't get him in trouble for it, he got you a new regular!!!! Anyway, we got burgers, fries and a couple of drinks. Everything was great! I loved my Paloma, it was made with mezcal and was so good with right amount of fruit and smokiness. Burger was very good too: flavorful, juicy, and pretty hearty. Definitely will be back! It was my second visit here and I'm confidently adding this place to my favorite bars :D

Cute photo opportunity on the building!

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!

Inside

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.

Mardi Gras Menu- gumbo, beignets and shrimp po boy
Rebecca P.

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.

Bloody Mary and Jello Shots

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!

Swenson Burger
Lori H.

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 The Swenson Burger was pretty solid, but the star of the show was the Caribbean Spiced Fries. We went for lunch around 11:30 a.m. We ordered and got our drinks quickly, but the food took about 40 minutes to come out. It was a nice neighborhood bar. They have special events happening daily, so that is pretty neat. They also have an area with a pool table and darts.

Ok, so I'll start by saying that I am not typically a fan of Irish Pubs but I really enjoyed this…read moreone when a friend proposed we go here after encountering lines at a couple of S 1st options. I'll start by complimenting the staff! Everyone we encountered - bar tender, server both - had a great sense of humor and were a pleasure to engage with. They treated us to a round of shots after we had a few rounds. Generally the vibe of the crowd is very friendly and we made some new friends to hang with part of the evening. I did not have the opportunity to eat anything as we came from dinner BUT I did hear from three separate people that the carrot cake is to die for. Who would have thought?

I went a few weeks ago for my friend's birthday on their back patio, and it was the perfect spot for a chill celebration. The Guinness was fresh (no sad, flat pours here), the fish and chips were thick, crispy, and super satisfying, and the service was more than a-plenty the whole night. It's the kind of place where you can actually relax, hang out, and hear your friends without sacrificing fun vibes. On a nice day, there's honestly nowhere I'd rather be posted up with a pint than Kelly's patio.

Sad review as may be their last, 1/4 is set to be their last day of being open for business. I…read morealways forgot this place was here, it's super convenient to us but the location was easily forgettable as it wasn't really visible from 79. 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.

Service was good, and the ambiance was fun. Lots of sports on the multiple tv screens. My friend…read moreenjoyed her beef curry, and the portion was so generous that she had leftovers to take home. I ordered the fish and chips. The piece of fish was enormous! 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.

After thrifting on Saturday, a friend of mine and I landed at BD Riley's Irish Pub at Mueller. OMG…read moreit was so much fun!!! This place is huge with so much character. Traditional Irish artifacts filled the restaurant / bar. B. D. Riley's was celebrating St. Patrick's Day on Saturday, March 14 with live music, Irish food, Guinness, dancers, bagpipes, etc. No cover charge and many families were present (family friendly times). The excitement and enthusiasm was contagious! You could hear the roar of laughter and the occasional Irish call out. It is rare you can have so much clean fun with no fear of violence. We visited for a couple of hours. Highly recommend BD Riley's.

But that is nothing compared to how awful the food is. Growing up and living in Boston I was accustomed to Irish Pubs that took pride in the food they made. Let's be honest - Irish food in general is not very good but the pubs I went to in Boston elevated the fare. If it is in fact true that BD Riley's is run by someone from Boston then he or she should be ashamed of the food they serve. It's like they have a 10 year old cooking the food. If someone from BD Riley's reads this please read this: Do better. Have some pride.
