This is a casual diner type place that you order at the counter and they bring your order out to…read moreyour table. It's a serve yourself type setup for fountain drinks and an ample amount of lemons for your water or food. Breakfast here is amazing but I also love this salmon dish. I've ordered it every time I've been here for a lunch or dinner. The overall vibe is very retro type diner and the staff is friendly. Just if you order anything extra that's different, there can be some confusion. My friend who usually comes with me here, can't have carbs, so she orders extra vegetables and extra lemon butter. Literally every time they miss the extra butter sauce and never ask which dish goes to whom. So there's a disconnect from the kitchen staff and whomever takes your order. The food is great, parking is ample but if you go at a busy time, you may have to sharp around for a space as there are other businesses in the same shopping centre that serve food. The prices are very reasonable and they're consistent on what they serve.

This is indigenous South Austin Weird, not a hipster reimagination of it. Come, drink from these waters - waters that taste like a Lone Star tallboy can or maybe a simple Jack and Coke or a 7&7 - just don't expect or ask them to taste like an Aperol Spritz or a Basil Mojito. Bands are good, vibes are good, and the bar staff is friendly if no-nonsense. There's a room to the side where smoking is allowed - Giddy Ups is far south enough to be outside of Austin's strict tobacco rules, so either enjoy a smoke or avoid that area but don't complain about it, as the main room is kept smoke free for your happy enjoyment. There's an excellent food trailer parked out front - "Soul of a Hick" offers surprisingly good fare, including fried chicken better than some brick-and-mortar fried chicken specialty shops around town. Thumbs up to them, too.

My first job that took me down the path as a chef for a few years started at a hole in the wall…read morecalled Acme Bar & Grill in Mt. Pleasant SC, so I'm familiar with a low brow affair. On one hot Saturday afternoon I was looking to change things up a bit so google suggested Giddy Ups. I will confess driving up I was a bit apprehensive as it felt like a hole in the wall of a hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere. Upon arriving one will notice the parking lot is extremely worn with minimum upkeep while the facility wasn't that much fancier. Walking in you can feel the history and life. Everything is rustic and rudimentary as if the place was bought for pennies on the dollar. The outside has old fashioned 2x4 overhang with old plain wood columns, a huge red and obnoxious store front (but in a good way) and a tacked-on sheet metal shed. Inside, a half mannequin here, a thousand local artists in picture frames there all with dive bar tables and chairs make up the main area. Oh, there's a stage too if one can call what amounts to a step as a stage. The staff here are humble and nice. As for alcoholic beverages, if they got it, they're gonna make it for you. However, be warned the selection is limited, keeping in step with the bare bones mentality. Speaking of drinks, they're extremely affordable. I enjoyed my bourbon and diet coke just the same here as anywhere else while paying a fraction of what other places charge. In the side attachment or "shed" they have a number of games. One gripe I have is that they have the most disgusting bathrooms I've seen in years. No more elaboration needed. So what are my final thoughts? Giddy Ups is grass roots, simple but not for everyone. I like it and like the vibe but in my vast list of places to visit I just can't justify coming back especially if I'm looking to impress a date. It's not a bad place at all, just not my flavor.

Our extended family decided to go on Friday. There were 14 of us in all. The staff were very…read morefriendly and worked with us so that we could purchase a 'package' and divide it among the 14. There was a variety of games from 'old school' to newer games and there was plenty for every age. All of the games except one were working, which is better than most of these types of places. My grandson played the Willy Wonka 'coin' game and managed to get all nine character cards and a golden ticket card which is a big deal. The few who get this have their picture taken and placed in the machine - a 'wall of fame' so to speak. When we asked the staff to add his picture they said they were out of film. We offered to purchase some (Polaroid) and they initially declined saying they couldn't 'accept' it. After having a good discussion with the manager, they agreed that if we went to Walmart to get film, they would take the picture and post it, which all occurred. Not sure how they 'ran out of' film, but aside from that, all went well. Folks who aren't grandparents won't likely understand what grandparents will do for grandkids!

From the start, the service was steeped in passive-aggressive behavior, microaggressions, and a total lack of basic respect. Hospitality is about making guests feel welcome, yet the bar staff treated my friend with sheer contempt. For a business that relies on paying customers, the attitudes behind that bar are disgusting. You should be ashamed of how your team treats people. Do better
