Great place! Came here with a group of six on a Thursday afternoon for drinks and light snacks. They had a great happy hour that we enjoyed. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. A couple of us also had burgers and the burgers were great. Would recommend and would come back. read more

From Franklin's BBQ to the Hot Luck Food Festival, Aaron Franklin does food right. We've been wanting to try Uptown since reading about it in Eater last year. It is such a beautifully made space. The high ceilings, the old-timey lighting, and the friendly bar staff greeting you as you arrive all make for a very feel good lunch setting. We order the hot roast beef sandwich, the gumbo, and the potato salad. The roast beef sandwich was delicious. Soft French bread, fresh veg, horseradish sauce, tart pickles, and roast beef + brisket all melt together to form the perfect bite every time. Not a mushy tomato or wilted lettuce in sight. This is a quality sandwich. The gumbo is flavorful but enhanced even more with Crystal hot sauce. The potato salad is one of the better potato salads I've had within the past 2 years. One thing I love about Aaron Franklin is that he frequents his establishments/events and this was no exception! He was here talking to other patrons having lunch! Wishing Uptown Sports Club many years of success! read more

Surprisingly there was not a long wait on a Saturday evening, it was only about 25 minutes. They have a few standing table areas to wait as well as a pretty big bar. Doing dry January, my friend and I appreciated the mocktail options, but were surprised they were the same price or more than regular cocktails. We opted for an ice tea instead which was delicious. It tasted like it had a hint of hibiscus. The bathrooms are outside to the right, and I saw the outside seating area is bigger than I thought and also had heaters for colder months. We were seated at an inside booth, coat hangers attached which was nice. My friend had been in a few times and highly recommended the $16 shrimp poboy, so we got 4 of those and a basket of fries. We started with the beans and rice to get a little sample and it was very good. We all fell in love with that poboy. Now when it comes to burgers or sandwiches, I sometimes take 1 bite and then take it apart with my fork because I find the bread to be too much, but this bread was magnificent. No fork was used this time. There wasn't a bite without a tasty shrimp, either. The poboy was loaded and absolutely delicious. When we first sat down we saw some desserts walk by, and we decided then that we would have to try the bananas foster bread pudding. It did not disappoint! It was small to split amongst 4 people so we also got the peanut butter brownie sundae which was also a hit. Perfect to have a lil chocolate option. A little on the pricy side but everything was so good, I would return after a payday to try some oysters and such. read more

A Tale of Sam the Swift, Keeper of Uptown Sports Club In the great hall of Uptown Sports Club, where po' boy sandwiches reign supreme and beers flow like rivers of gold, there reigns a server of legendary skill: Sam the Swift. Like a wizard of appetizers, she appeared the moment we sat down, armed with menus and a smile that could outshine the Eye of Sauron. Drinks? Delivered faster than an elven arrow. Orders? Taken with the precision of a dwarven smith. Her charm could tame a wild orc, and her attention to detail made us wonder if she had the foresight of Gandalf himself. To the lords of Uptown Sports Club: give Sam a raise, nay, hand her the keys to the kingdom! This is no mere waitress--this is the rightful ruler of the realm. Her quick service, impeccable memory, and radiant personality deserve not just thanks but titles, accolades, and perhaps the deed to the building. Sam isn't just keeping your business afloat; she's steering the ship through the storm and making it look easy. Long may she serve (or rule). read more

This is such a cute little gem here in Austin and I have no clue of it. The stuff there is just so friendly. I know exactly what she recommends. Their opera spritz was so refreshing and on point. They have a great happy hour when it comes to Apperal, spritz and oysters as well as their burgers. I got their East Coast oysters and they were very good And nice and cold the way they should be. We also ordered a basket of their french fries, which had a New Orleans twist to it. Very delicious. read more

Another Aaron Franklin winner. We tried both the mocktails which were delicious and complex. For the food, we both had the shrimp poboy. The bread was crispy and soft the way it is meant to be. The shrimp and dressing was perfect. 10/10. We also had the red beans and rice, that was bland and I wouldn't get it again, but the gumbo was superb, you gotta try it. The service was great and the ambiance was super chill. I love that they preserved the old building. read more

Beer cost more than at airports/resorts/Disneyland, really mediocre food and crappy service. I will not return.

I only came in for cocktails and fries on a Saturday around 2 pm. It was very busy and we were able to sit a large party of about 20 no problem. Staff was very attentive and food came out quickly. With so many guests I was pleasantly surprised that they allowed everyone to split the tab to pretty much every individual or couple. I will be back to try a real meal, but I loved the old school vibe with the vintage TVs. read more

Excellent cocktails. Delicious food. Maybe the best po' boy of my life. I keep coming back for it, and it's always worthwhile.

Me and a couple of friends popped in USC for brunch on a Sunday morning and we did not regret our visit. What a charming place. The outdoor patio space and seating is very impressive in the back. The concept of this restaurant is a time capsule of a bygone era. Yes there are tv"s to watch a game but not what you think. Service is as very casual and attentive. It was not very busy because we went when it had just opened because we just checked out of our hotel. I ordered the shrimp poboy with a side order of homemade fries and it did not disappoint. I never had hot sauce on my poboy (come with it dressed) but I did enjoy this one. The fries were crispy and hot (cooked to perfection). My friend loved his avocado toast and said it was one of his favorites and one of the best he has ever had. My other friend had the breakfast plate and he said he enjoyed it. I will definitely come back for lunch next time I am in town again. This place is really charming. I hope they're able to maintain the laid back vibe of an impressively decorated restaurant. Good job USC! Thank you for the good food and a nice atmosphere to enjoy it in. read more

Would not recommend coming here. Service was awfully slow, took 20-30 mins to order and another hour for the food to come. Creole Prawns somehow came out both cold and overcooked, a tough combo to achieve. Ambiance was pretty nice though. read more

Had a great experience here Eric was the best! Hospitality was 10/10 and I can't wait to go back!

Ok not great. The gumbo was not as dark as described and most of the proteins were shredded but the biggest problem was the temp of the bowl and seemed like it was rewarmed. Luke warm no bueno but the flavor was pretty good. The shrimp po-boy was nothing special although tasty. The bread was great but I don't want to take any bites that don't include some shrimp! I don't see myself driving from North Austin downtown, having to pay for parking, for just ok food. read more

Great place to check out! The restaurant itself has an exceptional ambiance that makes you feel like you are right in NOLA. Can't say enough praise to the orange freeze as it was so tasty! Also recommend the fries with their garlic aioli, SO GOOD! The meal itself was quick as you seat yourself and the food/drinks came fast. I will definitely be back soon read more

I don't even remember what the food tasted like. All I remember is our server (Sam) was literally the greatest server in the world. Table full of drunk guys and this woman was unfazed and incredibly funny and I think we all love her. 10/10 stars read more

Trying to figure out if the bartender Chelsea tried to poison me or what the actual heck happened. My boyfriend and I both ordered the same drink. Mine was SPICY- burned my lips and tongue for at least 30mins. My boyfriend didn't believe me til he tried mine. And his lips began to burn as well. Interesting... read more

Yikes, the drinks are great the food however big no. Fries tasted like old oil the steak was subpar. The chicken sandwich was bad, the only thing that was ok was the artichoke dip but the Costco one is better. If the prices were halved then maybe the quality would make sense but For the prices it was pretty ridiculous. Applebees quality. read more

Gosh I really wish I could like this place after seeing all the posts about it on instagram from different influencers but they have a ways to go to reach their full potential. The ambiance is great, semi-casual and laidback, not a sports bar at all as the name implies which was a nice surprise. 5/5 The staff was really friendly and welcoming, and made us some great cocktails as well. I felt like the drinks were extremely pricey (for example, $10 & $15 local IPAs on the menu that are regularly $7-8 anywhere else), nothing specifically curated to justify that price. 3/5 Food was also somewhat pricey: $8 for a bowl of gumbo & $18 for a shrimp po-boy, both of which were honestly terrible. At that price I would expect the food to be somewhat decent but it was literally the worst "gumbo" I've ever had. It was soupy and flavorless, I had to add a bunch of salt pepper and hot sauce just to make it edible. If you served that as "gumbo" in Louisiana you'd end up in jail or tossed to the Gators, it was criminally bad. Po-boy was dry and flavorless but the shrimp seemed to be good quality. Goes to show, probably shouldn't lean into a Cajun menu if you don't know Cajun flavors. Maybe if they changed their menu I would go back but overall not the most impressive addition to the Austin food scene. read more

Food was average. Roast beef po'boy with "debris" was dry. The rest of our table all agreed, for the price, the food was average. Kind of disappointed since I had heard it was owned by the Franklin group. Noise too loud. Nothing to absorb the sound. Drinks were OK. read more

this was my first time here and it was amazing!! The manager on duty was definitely one of the better managers I've seen working in restaurants, and our server Bryan I think was his name was so cool. He made sure to answer any questions I had was very attentive. I asked would recommend this place. The food was also amazing i don't like fried food but the shrimp was to excellent! read more

The transformation of this place from a shuttered graffiti mess to a mosaic tiled, bistro-style cocktail bar/restaurant, serving New Orleans fierceness on the menu. Right now the menu is small but mighty. It's hard to make a bad choice here. I will be coming back to try the items on the raw menu, like oysters and crab. From what I hear, this place was renovated in a way that paid homage to the historical site. And it's pretty gorgeous. As for the service? Can't fault it. Had great banters with the staff who were welcoming and helpful. read more

Uptown Sports Club is doing something unique! There aren't many all-day dining destinations especially with this look and feel - a big win for the east side. I love the space! So impressed with the transformation into a casual yet lively restaurant and patio. Immediately upon walking in, we were approached and told to find any open seat. All of the waitstaff we encountered were so welcoming. On my first visit, I tried the potato salad, gumbo (which uses Franklin's sausage), shrimp po'boy, hot roast beef po'boy, sazerac and a cherry jubilee freeze. The dishes came out within minutes. Across the board, my impression was that all the food was designed to be crowd pleasers. The flavor is there but very mild. I personally liked it but can see why others would find it lacking. The one item I was dying to try was the cherry jubilee freeze. Although it was the first item ordered, it came out last. I was envisioning a slushee but it's more of a milkshake. Overall, a cute place to pop in without a reservation. read more

We went on a Sunday for brunch, 2 people. Cute and fun environment, inside and out. Peter was our server and he was kind and attentive. - Banana Bread - 5/5 - Smoked Trout Dip - 4/5 The bagged chips and individually packaged crackers are odd - Fresh squeezed OJ - 5/5 - Bloody Mary "make it salad" - 3/5. The wedge salad on top makes it fun, but I wasn't a fan of the house made Bloody Mary mix, too much Clamato. - Smash Burger - 5/5 - Avocado toast with scrambled egg and side of sausage - 5/5 for the Avocado toast. It was delicious, not your average and boring version! The herb cheese and dressing were delicious. The scrambled egg and sausage were meh, 2/5. The sausage was incredibly dense, it reminded me of a lamb meatball. We look forward to going back with friends and would get several of the same items again, but definitely not others. read more

An East Side gem. I can't not get that Oyster Po'boy. Even with a Franklins brisket sammich right next to it on the special board. One day they won't have oysters though but I still won't need a menu. read more

If you remember what this corner used to be, you'd be surprised to see how well Franklin & team were able to transform the creepy, tagged, and boarded-up building into a French Quarter-inspired hangout spot.  I came here to meet a few friends for happy hour during the week (although, there weren't any specials just yet since this spot is brand new), and was surprised at how chill it was. We basically had our pick of where to sit, so we did a lap first to scope out the interior design (yes to neon signs, cozy booths, and hexagonal tiles) and then nabbed a table inside by the bar. During this round, I spotted a pastry case at the bar on your way out to the patio, so be sure to check that out. They're supplied by Sourduck.  While we waited for the last of our party to join us, we got the drink order in. The staff was super helpful in answering our questions about the menu. I got the orange & cream freeze with a mid-tier rum added to it. It was really enjoyable on a warm, humid day, and definitely packed a punch halfway through the cup. Kinda like having an orange float or milkshake because it still had thick parts of ice cream. As for food, my friend ordered a dozen oysters and a shrimp cocktail for the table. Both fresh and delicious. They were all out of the trout dip, so be sure to order it if it is available on your visit. Our server suggested the hot roast beef po' boy when I asked what her favorite was, and she did not steer me wrong. It's flavorful, and filling, but messy so be prepared to get your hands dirty. (I ate half and probably should've shared a sandwich with a friend.) It gave me a good excuse to check out the restrooms, which are located outside to the right as you enter the covered patio. If you do one thing here (aside from having a beer/cocktail), please get the bread pudding. She is by no means pretty, and when the bowl filled with a brown pool of sauce with a rectangular loaf came out, it wasn't at all what I imagined, but it was a warm, comforting bite that was drenched in an almost cloyingly sweet toffee sauce. It gave sticky toffee pudding vibes, so if that's your thing, order up. The ambiance was great for catching up with friends I hadn't seen in a while. There was a lot of care and attention to detail put in the decor of this place, too, to transport you to a corner of New Orleans here in TX. If you're sitting at the bar, take a moment to look at the shelves. You'll find some good easter eggs like a Chili's hat. Also, Aaron Frankin was doing rounds and checking on tables to see how everyone was doing. Very thoughtful! I am a nerd and I get my receipts, but had mine emailed in this case. When I woke up the next day to check my messages, I saw that my boozy freeze cost me $22 (insert blush emoji), aka one drink cost more than my sandwich. Otherwise, prices are obviously stated on the menu for the other drinks. So keep that in mind if you're on a budget. I'll still come back because that bread pudding was really damn good.  Overall, this is a great addition to 6th street, as it's got the casual vibes, but I wouldn't say it's going to be your everyday, neighborhood haunt... unless you're baller status. read more

Fun ambiance with leather boots and tiled floors with bistro vibes. We arrived midday on a weekend and had no wait to get in. The menu is sandwich-heavy so if that's not what you are looking for - I'd recommend going else where. We ordered the shrimp and fried green tomato po' boys. Both were tasty - nothing out of this world. Fries were perfectly cooked with that extra crisp and not to be missed to accompany whatever you order. Not sure I would come back, but a fun concept. read more

Aaron Franklin does it again! My partner was invited to the soft opening and we were floored by everything. Been living here for many years and never thought we'd see this abandoned corner brought to life. It's beautiful inside with tons of seating indoors and outdoors. The service was amazing and even though it was incredibly busy servers would check in on us a lot. I love their shirts and will have to see next time if I can get one for myself. I ordered the gumbo as one of the servers highly recommended it. He said it uses Aaron's brisket and takes a few days to make. It's honestly one of, if not the best, gumbo I've ever had. It's very cozy and had a lot of meat in it. My partner is from New Orleans and he was impressed by it too. He had the shrimp poboy and loved it. There was some kind of mixup, probably because it was super busy, and we ended up getting a free veggie platter. We were too full to order the bread pudding but the table next to us were raving over it. Excited to come back and try more food! read more

Uptown recently launched their brunch service so we went to check it out. We got banana bread, avocado toast, and the breakfast plate. Their banana bread was out of this world. The butter was half frozen but it did warm up over the 40 min we were eating there. The breakfast plate's sausage was a glorified hamburger. It was not sausage. The biscuit on the breakfast plate was great though. The avocado toast was good but not the greatest in Austin. We were charged for an egg but did not get an egg on our avocado toast. I like their food a lot but brunch wasn't it. read more

Showed up for drinks on a Wednesday night and found a table inside right away. When you go in it's not clear whether you need to wait to be seated but the bartender was super friendly and immediately guided us as to what to do. Our server was sweet and attentive and she was fun to talk to. I ordered their version of a French 75 with bourbon instead on gin and I was in love. The outside area is super cute and will definitely sit there next time I go as I can't wait to try the food. read more

It's amazing to see the beautiful old buildings we have put back to use. This place toes the line between cozy and upscale to perfection with a healthy dose of old-school vibes. We were greeted at the bar and found a seat for three relatively easily, but it was busy for an early Tuesday. We had people waiting for our seats by the time we got the check. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The cocktails were unique, complex and beautiful. My party ordered the rope a dope and corkscrew punch, both of which were delicious! We had previously eaten an early dinner but at the bartender's recommendation got the bread pudding which did not disappoint. It was fluffy and rich with a perfect toasty caramel sauce. I'm looking forward to my next visit already! read more

Me and my friend went here last week and immediately upon entering, the vibes were great! I got the shrimp po boy and we also ordered the gumbo and fried chicken. The Po boy was delicious!

I don't even need to write this review, this place is always hopping. But, it's so good I still had to show some love - for the amazing food ( New Orleans made and delivered bread, gigantic Delicious shrimp with that very specific type of crunchy batter that you only get in the south), amazing drinks, incredibly chill & helpful service, and the super thoughtful design and aesthetic. One of only a few places I actually wanted to grab merch from. Keep up the good work y'all! We'll be back to try the rest. read more

Our second time here for dinner. I would rate our first experience three star however it got much worse the second time. 1. Pork Sando was so dry and burnt that the aux jous did not help at all. 2. The French fries was burnt and inedible. 3. Uptown burger was very dry. The food of fast food chains are prepared better. If you want to stay in business, the quality of the food must improve drastically so the price is justified. Send your cooks to learn how to prepare good quality meals I am very disappointed. read more

It was alright. It's the typical downtown ATX spot. Don't get me wrong, the food was good (had the standard burger). Just couldn't figure out what was up with the (lack of) service. It wasn't that busy at all. Even considering I went on a Sat afternoon. Ambiance was okay too, I guess. If I had to describe how I felt about this place in one word it would be "indifferent." Not tryna be rude or anything but I didn't see anything particularly special about it. read more

We were excited to visit this restaurant as our family is from Louisiana, and we really enjoyed the food, ambiance, and staff. It's not the Cajun cooking you'd get at grandmas per se but it's still good food, and it's nice to see these menu items here in Austin. We got the roast beef, red beans and rice, and the burger, and we cleared our plates! Our server Connor was so friendly and attentive, we would definitely come back and bring more people next time.
