We didn't even realize that Pinthouse Brewing had a sourdough crust (apparently not all locations…read moredo), so that was such a fun surprise. The sourdough pizza was really good--almost like a focaccia/Detroit-style hybrid, but with the sauce layered on the bottom. Super flavorful, crispy edges, soft inside... honestly just hit. Also--my husband was way too excited (in the best way) to see boiled peanuts on the menu, so of course we had to start there. Great call. We'll definitely be back.

Pinthouse Brewing was a brewery Steve and I went to while on our vacation to Austin a few months…read moreago. The building is quite large and inside is cool as the seating is quite spacious and a large number of people can enjoy food and drink at once. Definitely not a tiny, small placed brewery...but it's true... everything is bigger in Texas! When we were at Pinthouse I spotted a Mexican Lager which is a type of lager I love and especially in warm weather... a perfect summer beer for me! The name of the beer was Burro's Breakfast. In the flavor profile of this beer you will find a naturally sweet corn flavor, some maltiness along with a tart and dry finish. The beer is light bodied like most lagers of this type and smooth in body. In addition to having a beer we also decided to get some lunch. So we got a chicken sandwich a piece along with coleslaw and had a very nice lunch. Coming to Pinthouse Brewing proved to be a good stop as we made a pretty extensive tour of the breweries in Austin.

Don't sleep on Moonshine Grill! We've been here a number of times and recently returned for dinner…read moreafter an event at the Fairmont Hotel. We somehow snagged nearby street parking and a table for two with no wait despite it being a busy Saturday evening after a UT football game. Make a reservation if you have a large party or are on a tighter schedule. It's a bit loud for those seated in the lobby/entrance area, but totes a vibe. For food, we ordered the blackened catfish, brisket burnt ends quesadillas, and harvest bowl to share. Everything was delicious and served quickly, even with the aforementioned dinner rush. 10/10 would order the same items again. I was so appreciative of the server splitting the entree over two plates without us asking. Did I mention the complimentary popcorn and cornbread? Twas a FEAST. I'm already thinking about the next time we're going back! If not for Moonshine, definitely for the speakeasy downstairs.

I opted just got an Arnold Palmer but the drink menu had some cute cocktails and mocktails, as well as a nice selection of beer and wine. Instead of bread, our server brought us a basket of seasoned popcorn. The popcorn had almost like a Cajun flair, but it wasn't spicy. It reminded me of the Ground Round chain from when I was a little girl. We decided to try the corndog shrimp appetizer. I couldn't decide on an entree because everything looked so good, so I did the Parmesan chicken and my coworker did the steak salad. The shrimp arrived so quickly with four large pieces of shrimp on a stick wrapped in corn dog batter and fried to a golden brown, with a blueberry mustard dipping sauce. The shrimp were delicious and while I didn't get much of the blueberry in the mustard, I enjoyed the sweetness it provided. My Parmesan chicken was a crispy and juicy breaded chicken cutlet with a lemon cream, artichoke hearts, and what appeared to be prosciutto on top. It was served with a side of pesto couscous with grape tomatoes and cucumbers. I wish I had ordered mashed potatoes on the side, because I wanted something to soak up the lemon cream sauce, which was the highlight of the chicken. We also were served 3 mini cornbread muffins with honey butter. My coworker said the salad was just okay, and was a little on the small side. The desserts were definitely a MUST and if you visit Moonshine and don't save room for the Espresso Brownie or the Peanut Butter Pie, you're going to regret it. The brownie was so fudgey and warm and served with ice cream. It was decadent. The peanut butter pie was the biggest slab of PB pie I've ever had with a thick Oreo crust. I wish I had someone with me to share it, it was huge. Overall, if I lived in the area I would definitely be back to try other things.

Reservations…read moreopen about three weeks in advance so I definitely kept checking to see when they would be available and snagged the 11 AM first reservation time slot available. I enjoyed the fact that their valet opened before 11 in the valet was $13 I believe so you got to get in there park your car and they also do have street parking. Should you choose to go that route. Once you're on the ground, you can venture around and look at all the beautiful peacocks and just their overall lovely landscaping. We were sat right away as they have a reservations line and then a walk-in line with the reservations line getting to be at first. Our table was half bench and chairs which the benches because they are kind of a velvety material made it a little bit hard to slide over so make note if you're wearing a long dress that happens to snag as you scoot on over. We ended up starting with the jalapeño cheddar kolache and the donut holes. These were both shared amongst three of the crew, which both were very tasty and the jalapeño cheddar kolache, however did have a little bit of a kick. Main course for myself was the shrimp and grits came with four very large shrimp. The grits were blue corn, which is new for me, but also very tasty. One of the crew left the decision up to the gentleman, assisting us and wound up having the tiramisu French toast. That was so rich and very decadent definitely more of a dessert than a breakfast item. As they found out, it was a birthday celebration for two of us at the crew. They did a very nice job at the end to provide with two funfetti scoops of ice cream with candles in them so we got a little happy birthday song and a sweet treat at the very end of the meal. I really enjoy this place from the service to the food. Everything just comes out really well. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

History: Henry & Mattie Faulk bought the property known as…read moreGreen Pastures (where the restaurant is located/Green Pastures itself is an inn & event property) in 1916. Twenty-three acres with pastures and gardens. Their daughter Mary was an incredible cook who loved making meals for family and friends. After getting married, she returned to live on the property for a few years. In 1946 she remodeled the farmhouse into a restaurant (which was at that time also called Green Pastures). The restaurant welcomed people of all religions and races since opening its doors in 1946 (18 years prior to desegregation in Austin). Decor/Design/Atmosphere: The grounds have peacocks strolling about and squirrels frolicking. It's like being transported to a magical fairytale land. It just oozes the generational love and caring put forth by Mary and her family so many decades ago. Lovely landscape. The Victorian architecture lends charm to the elegant decor from the floral wallpapers, stained glass windows, and fireplaces to the hardwood floors and the pastel and ethereal color scheme. There are multiple dining rooms and an upstairs bar (bar has a great peacock wallpaper). It truly feels like you've been invited to dine at a friend's house. ...And, what you've all been waiting for.. FOOD: HANDS DOWN BEST BRUNCH IN AUSTIN & MAYBE BEST BRUNCH EVER! My boyfriend and I shared the following: Fried Green Tomatoes- Comes with a crab + corn salad (that I didn't eat) my boyfriend lost his mind over the crab salad and we both lost our minds over the tomatoes. The breading was exactly what you expect on a green tomato fried up Southern-style. Light, airy, and seasoned to perfection. That batter was absolutely delightful. The tomatoes were crunchy yet warm and tender. A happy dance for our mouths. Rainbow Carrots- Wood grilled to perfection and topped with feta crumbles, a lemon vinaigrette, seeds, and hummus. The carrots were fabulously tender-crisp with sweet and tender centers. Tiramisu French Toast- The most wonderfully decadent and glorious brunch treat to cross our lips. This work of art included sticky toffee, molasses made of bourbon and espresso, and mascarpone (whipped). It left us both delightfully dizzy. We washed everything down with flavorful teas (in our own little pots). I stuck with a classic, Earl Gray as did the boyfriend who went with Jasmine Green. Both excellent selections. There are many things on the brunch menu (as well as the dinner menu) we still want to try and can't wait to get back. In fact , I will be heading back in a few weeks with friends. For that reason, I opted not to take pictures today. I do this every now and again (wait to take pics or not always take them at all...just depends on my mood & the vibe---don't try to figure me out, that's not for you to do.). 5/5 rating though it should be 10/10.

We made a res and that was a good choice as they fill up very fast here. There is complimentary valet parking as well for those worried about their cars. The interior is modern and sleek but doesn't lack a soul, which extends to their servers and workers, phenomenal. For our food we went with cornbread, pork belly sliders, aged wagyu burger, and fettuccine. The cornbread was phenomenal, an easy standout with a grilled onion butter that provides a pop of flavor. The pork belly sliders were also good, balancing all flavors perfectly. The fettuccine was good, not great. The chips and their texture took a lot away from what else was going on in the dish. Now for the best part of the meal, the burger. This burger is unworldly, an absolutely delicious bite brimming with juice. The beer cheese and jam do so much here with a perfectly cooked patty. The definition of a signature dish. Odd Duck is such a standout in what can sometimes feel like a copy paste food scene here in Austin. We're glad to have eaten here before its inevitable (at this rate) first star.

I ordered it medium rare, but it came out closer to medium-well. The meat also had a bit of a funk to it, which made it seem like it may not have been the freshest cut. The fries were also underwhelming--poorly seasoned and pretty forgettable. Based on this experience, I probably wouldn't come back for the steak frites or another steak/meat entrée.
