One day, my boyfriend and I were coming home and this nice couple was walking the neighborhood passing out flyers for Gourmands and The Cavalier. Today we read into the flyers a bit more and found the Margarita mix special. We ordered it via phone and the gentleman was nice enough to make it strawberry for me and we picked it up. It came with a small bottle of tequila (some GOOD KIND too), a lime and the premade mix along with a cool hat. Amazing service, great products and very close to our house. We for sure will be back! Thanks y'all! read more

The Cavalier - Strawberry margarita - Pubs Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great burgers and possibly the best fried chicken sandwich in Austin. Fast and friendly service. Great patio and atmosphere

Sunday brunch. Wait from order to food was a little long, but worth the wait! Our breakfast biscuit was big enough to share. We got the fries as a side, but next time will try the cheese grits. The table next to us got them and they looked amazing. Fleet coffee is just across the street if you want to grab an excellent coffee drink before you eat. read more

You've won me over, Cavalier. From your cozy interior to your music selection, this is a great bar. This review is about the bar. They have food and pretty good food at that, but the bar is the highlight of the visit. The staff has made an excellent, welcoming environment at Cavalier. You're greeted with smiles all around which is surprisingly rare in East Austin. Most people are nice, but these guys are outwardly engaging. It's fresh and cool. The interior of the place is similar to its predecessor, Dog and Duck, but it's been slightly updated to become more trendy, but not abrasively so. The holiday season really works for them, since they've decked the halls with lights. It's the coziest bar on the east side. They have some great drinks and cool specials (shout-out to $3 pineapple mimosas!) I'm a beer gal myself, so I'm treated to a solid selection of choices anytime I go in. But if you're a cocktail person, you'll be happy too! read more

Great beer selection and delicious food. World-class steel-tip darts setup with digital scoreboards and regularly-rotated Blade 5 dartboards. read more

Nice place in an area where you could possibly find parking The food is delish and the music is great read more

I should have known when we pulled up and the parking lot was empty on a Sunday morning. I have no idea where my girlfriend dug this place up from, but the service and food were horrible. I have a fairly high douche bag tolerance as long as the food makes up for it, but the rubbery fried meat thing was gnarly AF (the waffle was decent, I'll give them that). It took ten minutes to chew through my first bite. To quote my girlfriend: "maybe it's fried ham!" I have no idea how this place has 4 stars. I'm currently debating if I should make myself vomit up the food sitting in my stomach or risk letting it digest and enter my bloodstream. read more

New place on Webberville. Fantastic environment with a delicious menu and great drinks to boot. For sure will be returning to this gem often. FYI food comes out fast and delicious. The burger is great with the cornbread brioche. The deviled eggs are beautifully plated, must try. They even offer healthier options such as roasted acorn squash with barley and a goat cheese . Both salads are solid wins in my book. Oh! And pimento cheese is top notch, don't tell my grandma. Excellent staff, speedy kitchen, with counter service so you don't have to wait on a waiter. Must try, see you there. read more

Just like a previous reviewer, we ended up here because everywhere else was too crowded. But it was a happy accident! I love the menu - options ranging from healthy to not-so-healthy, so that my husband and I don't have to argue about tasty vs. good for you. I had the acorn squash with barley and it was delicious! Nice, casual bar vibe with friendly service. And better yet, no snide comments from a hostess like, "Do you have a reservation?... no???... Well, then it will be an hour and a half wait. You're more than welcome to enjoy an overpriced cocktail on our manicured gravel lot while getting eaten by mosquitoes. You don't want to do that? Okay, well, you're not hipster enough for us anyway, so... bye bye!" read more

I didn't want to like this place after dog and duck closed. I t was recommended for brunch which isn't my jam. We decided to try out their charred green beans and what can I say, we keep coming back. Friendly staff, creative frozen drinks. Lately we've been weekly for their inspired burgers on BOGO burger night (Monday). Patty melt excellent. BBQ burger fantastic with bacon and onions. read more

So this place is brand new and where the old Dog and Duck Pub used to reside. Went there because all of the other places had lines out the door (please stop moving to Austin!!!) and I'm glad we stopped by! Got the Boudin Balls and the Shrimp poboy and they were all incredible. When I come back I'm trying the Shrimp and Grits! I'm sure once word spreads they'll have lines out the door like every other "hidden gem" at least I got to try it before everyone else has! read more

"Best place in the world!" according to Luciana because it has "everything you could dream of". "Fantastic hot chocolate, waffles, and fresh lemonade!" The owners are incredible. Brunch is stellar. And pups are friendly! Thank you for a memorable experience. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Drinks are delicious and a very nice outside area that's dog friendly read more

Love this place. It's super chill, they're pup friendly and the food is solid. This is my go-to spot for a chill night in the neighborhood. They have a sweet $.75 wing deal on Wednesday and bogo burgers on Tuesday. Their cocktails are pretty good too (watch out for the Zombie). Also, their happy hour runs 3-7 which is pretty killer for the east side! I would avoid their Jamaican jerk wings (too much cinnamon) but definitely get the buffalo... it's fire. The bartenders are also super nice :) read more

Came in to Austin to see my sis and we came here. Omg the atmosphere here is off the Wall. Burgers are off the chain. Drinks rock, ask for Matt he is the B O M B !!! read more

We came for a 21st birthday brunch, and the whole table wasn't impressed. The bartender was quite rude, not the one with funky glasses, she was lovely. The cinnamon on the fries really threw me off as well. Lastly, to our surprise, the drag show seemed fun, but it was not a family friendly environment as advertised. Sadly will not be returning. read more

No to music, No to good sports venue, No to food, No to limited beers, and No to overpriced liquor and mediocre Bloody Mary. Yes to free parking. Music is for college kids who like off key and loud, NFL comes on when they think they have to broadcast games. Old movies running instead. Worst unflavored paste, claiming to be gravy - ever - not even salted. $14 for a shot of some kind of gin I never heard of. Wait service is ok, but you have to order at the bar. Completely underwhelmed read more

Good food, cold beer, good music... that's all you need. Support your local independent businesses.

Afternoon stop for drinks and snacks. Ladies had wine, the men appreciated the wide selection of good spirits. A good break on a Saturday afternoon read more

This place really gets it right. Great hang, great beer list, great food. No frills but not a dive. Perfectly comfortable just getting a drink or a full dinner. Free pool on Tuesdays! 75c wings on Wednesdays. Staff is always friendly. This will be a go-to spot for me in Austin. read more

Although the space where The Cavalier is seems to be cursed for businesses, I hope it doesn't apply to these guys! We've been a few times, during HH, brunch, and tiki night and were impressed each time! The have an awesome HH menu, especially for the deal they have on their frozens which pack a punch! But even their normal prices are pretty reasonable and they pour very generous! The food is pretty good too. Their tiki nights are super creative and fun but get really busy, so go early! The coolest thing they have? "Timecards" for your dog so they earn perks for you!!! read more

Great neighborhood bar! Friendly staff fun drinks and good food. What more do you need.

A dive looking bar on the inside but modern looking on the outside. Good drinks and good food. Our group had burgers, fries, black eyed peas, chicken tenders, beets and deviled eggs. Everyone enjoyed their food! read more

This place is the tits. The staff is always great, food is good and not Austin prices. My favorite of course is the shiplap on the walls.

Neighborhood bar feel with an upscale menu at a reasonable price! We came here on a whim and were not disappointed. Their menu was limited due to Covid-19, but what they had was delicious. We ordered the Carrot Hummus with thin Potato Wedge Chips, the Watermelon and Arugula Salad and their 2 for Burger Special. We went with 1 Cavalier Burger and a Chopped w/Cheese Burger which was similar to a Philly Steak Sandwich. Absolutely everything was fantastic. I got a Painkiller to drink and it too was sooo good. They don't shy away from the alcohol here. Would I come again? - Without a doubt! I wish it were in my own neighborhood! read more

Came for Happy Hour on a Monday. Super chill unpretentious environment. Great drinks, excellent food, super cool staff and they even have parking. I will be back for sure. read more

Super friendly people, good food, and great drinks. I am a fan!

These guys knocked it out the park. I always look forward to trying new east side places, and Cavalier is a space that fits right into the hood.. The atmosphere is perfectly suited to the area, casual and super friendly staff. Love the full bar and creative cocktails, including a beautifully crafted tequila old fashioned. I share the deviled eggs with my companion, but I did not share the shrimp Po' Boy and when asked why I hadn't offered a bite, I replied that I would have charged her for one. My companion had the burger, which she called good. I'm guessing it was better than that, but jealousy over my plate probably played a role in that characterization. I will definitely be back! read more

I was in town for a seminar with about 40 other out of towners this past Sunday and we "flash mobbed" the Cavalier on what I presume to be a typically sleepy night. Both Michael and Erin were cooler than cucumbers and handled the already drunk mob with grace and professionalism. The food and service were fantastic, and I really wanted to shout out the awesome staff, Michael and Erin. They were awesome! read more

We have been twice. First was about a week after they opened, and the second a week ago. Super friendly bartenders, cold beer, really great frozen coladas, comfy and good noise level. The food both times amazingly bad. The burger on first visit tasted spoiled, the shrimp Po Boy, mostly bread and iver powered by giant pcs of grilled lemon. The worst by far was the fried chicken. Gross, rubbery, blubbery Frankenstein chicken. Which is sad, because the coating was delicious. :-( read more

Live in the neighborhood, and am very excited for this new concept. Before I say anything else, I will say, I will go back for sure! The good... Menu, both food and drinks, were great. All the food was great...interesting concept. LOVED the drinks menu. Fried chicken was definitely legit...and that's coming from someone that thinks my own fried chicken is the best. Stand out thing we ordered was the chicken and the deviled eggs. Drink menu alone would make me come back. The bad...or the things I wished were different... Clearly the owners made a decision about the walk up to the bar to order idea. It's even printed on the menu. My concession is, it seems part of this decision was about keeping costs down...I can appreciate that. Personally, I don't like it. I wanted something more in this space. I wanted table service. I would be okay with costs ticking up a tad to bring in table service. I hated the self-serve station with plates, napkins and silverware. I wished I would of had water with my meal, and someone would have served us water. I would have ordered a second drink and maybe a third, if I had service. Maybe there is a middle ground? When our food was delivered, maybe that person could offer to start a second round of drinks? All in all, I'm rooting for The Cavalier. I will go back for sure. It's very new, and I hope there is some growth. read more

Waited almost 2 hours for mediocre food. Service was very disappointing. The menu and seating was very limited. The waitstaff did not care for the customers in the bar. read more

It was our first time here and it was amazing! Great food for a great price. This is a new spot I'm adding to my list of places to eat and drink in Austin. read more

Horrible service and the food came out cold. Servers could careless. I know it's a bar but be better at business...

Great place! I loved the all around vibe, location. I had the deviled eggs and they were an amazing snack.

Came here with a large group. Everyone ordered different things and everything was bad. Service was slow, waitress was rude. There are so many great places to eat in Austin, don't choose this one. read more

We were really looking forward to a new casual bar/restaurant opening nearby. We've been to the cavalier three times now, unfortunately we can't rate higher than one star and that's strictly because of the food. If you're only coming for drinks they staff is great and the frozen drinks are delicious. But after three tries the meals are, to be blunt, awful. Burger had an aftertaste almost like the beef had started to turn. The shrimp sandwich had chunks of lemon that ruined the otherwise ok taste. As for the fried chicken, yummy crispy crunchy coating wrapped around rubbery awfulness. I can't conceive of a palate that found that chicken acceptable. read more

Been here quite a few times and it's amazing. They have a good selection of beers on tap, and the bartenders are attentive and fun. Sometimes there's football on TV, gross! I guess there's no accounting for taste. Speaking of taste, I've had their chicken tenders, wings, and burgers so many times, and they are great at pub food! read more

Food was delicious, much better than I would have anticipated from a dive bar. The cheeseburger was fresh on a brioche bun with some good spread. Fries were seasoned perfectly. Drink prices were consistent with a drive bar but much better. Nice selection of holiday drinks. Clean, laid back vibe. I will absolutely being going back, great addition to the neighborhood! Dive bar without the bad parts. read more

Come for the speed dating, stay for the fried chickems. Popular with the Minnesota ladies in the mood for some southern hospitality. I noticed one had a corn allergy but ate all the andouille sausage. DONCHA KNOWWWWW? read more
