3.75 My husband and I decided to go to Waterloo Ice House for Breakfast. We drove up, parked in…read morethe parking lot and walked in. We were seated quickly. The waitress eventually came. She was very friendly and did a good job. She gave us menus, took our drink order and then gave us time to look over the menu. When she returned we placed our order. My husband and I ordered the Nachos Grande to share. They are tortilla chips with beans, cheese, tomatoes, jalapenos, sour cream and salsa. We ordered ours with chicken. My husband didn't mind them but I thought that they were a little bit of a disappointment. They were smothered in cheese. There wasn't very much chicken in there and the chips were stale. Next I ordered a short stack of Buttermilk Pancakes which came with a small serving of butter and syrup on the side. My husband ordered the a short stack of Blueberry Pancakes. The only difference was that his came with fresh blueberries on top. The pancakes were thick, and filling. I enjoyed combining them with the other parts of my meal. My husband also enjoyed his pancakes. My husband and I also ordered breakfast tacos. We both ordered the Classic Breakfast Taco which comes with eggs, bacon, tator tots, and cheese. We both ordered our tacos without cheese. They came with salsa choices. I tried the red salsa and the green salsa. Both salsas were good. I preferred the green salsa and my husband preferred the red salsa. The combined ingredients made for a delicious taco. During our meal the waitress brought me a Migas Breakfast Taco which comes with eggs, tomato, crushed tortilla chips, onions, and jalapenos. This was a mistake because I actually ordered the Waterloo Migas which comes with eggs, tomatoes, onions. cheese, tortilla chips, jalapenos, a side of refried beans and a flour tortilla. Long story short. I mentioned the mistake. They put an order in for the Migas and eventually brought them out to me. They also said that I could keep the taco and removed it from the bill. Honestly the Migas Taco was better than the Waterloo Migas. The taco had more crushed tortilla chips than the actual Migas. Both were covered in way too much cheese with a plentiful amount of eggs. The refried beans were okay. They were saltier than I was expecting but they added flavor to the Migas. The flour tortilla was good. I ordered my Migas with Bacon. The bacon was okay. It had a lot of fat on it but it was crispy which is what I prefer. Overall the restaurant had plenty of seating, the service was good, and the food was just okay.

I'll admit that I'm not a big fan of Mexican, Tex-Mex or other southern methods of food preparation. Judy is! She's the professional dietician, cookbook collector and best judge of foods quality, composition, and presentations. So I ordered my standard shrimp fajitas, no guacamole, no regurgitated beans, no pica de gallo, just rice and flour tortillas. The sizzling platter came to the table smoking hot with everything on the platter burnt to destruction. Judy, on the other hand ordered the full plate. One of their dinner "Plato's" where everything looks smashed together with all the things I don't like. But she is the "Foodie" and loves ethnic foods. She rates this place much lower than I did only had burnt shrimp and vegetable with a cup of the worst rice a mouse ever ran from. This place is definitely on our "one and done" list. I hope you have a better experience than we do so please drink up this food needs rethinking.

This is a crazy food grilled chicken sandwich! The chicken was generous and so juicy and flavorful, with a hefty amount of Brie and some nice greens (could have used more greens but hey it was tasty), and even some surprise chips on the side! My friends got the hamburgers and they seemed to enjoy them but I was too deep in my sandwich to notice much lol! The truck didn't seem too busy and it took maybe 10 minutes for my sandwich to come out but I wasn't paying too close attention to the clock. We also got the fried pickles which are very unique- instead of just breaded slices/spears they wrap the pickle with cheese in a wonton wrapper or something along those lines and deep fry the package. I'd say in general I prefer the standard fried pickle as I'm crazy about them, but for a fun and different take on it I enjoyed them! Couldn't try the fries a they were sold out of them (6:30 on a Sunday so not exactly prime time).

Very Disappointed -- We Won't Be Returning…read more This place used to be one of our favorites, but unfortunately, things have really gone downhill since the refurbishment. The menu has changed, the portions are noticeably smaller, and the prices have gone way up. I don't mind paying for good food, but I do expect the food and experience to justify the price. This is starting to feel like the prices of the downtown tourist spots, as if they think we're in Fredericksburg. Most of the people who live here are hardworking, middle-class families. We don't mind spending money, but we shouldn't have to pay premium prices for smaller portions simply because a restaurant has a Main Street view. Sadly, this used to be a favorite of ours. It isn't anymore, and we won't be returning. Start looking at why places are closing down, because you're NOT getting community support! I wonder why? I would like to say that the service has always been good it's just the prices and how they charge for everything separately now.. nope!

We really enjoy Taste on Main and always look forward to coming back. I've sat both inside and…read moreoutside, but my favorite spot is the back deck surrounded by the huge trees. It's such a lovely setting. The quality of the food is consistently where it should be. My favorite dish so far is the clams, which come with wonderfully toasted bread that is perfect for soaking up the broth. The mac and cheese is also deliciously rich and really hits the spot, and I love the cobbler. There are just a few things I'd tweak. The chips don't seem to be made in-house, and I find the salsa a little too spicy. The crab cake is a generous size and tastes very fresh, but I'd personally love to see it served with a crisp breading and some simple salad greens alongside it. I also tried the bone marrow and found the texture much looser and more gelatinous than I prefer. I've had bone marrow elsewhere with a firmer, more pâté-like consistency that was easier and more enjoyable to spread on bread, so that preparation is more to my taste. The service has always been excellent, and I really appreciate that they offer a small mocktail menu. My husband loves a great Bloody Mary, and theirs has good potential, but we both find the drink itself a little too watered down. We'd love to see it served a bit richer and more full-bodied. We still haven't worked our way through the entire menu, but my husband has had some excellent cuts of meat and also really enjoyed the mole. There is still plenty we want to try, which is always a good sign. Great food, consistently good service, and one of my favorite outdoor dining settings in the area. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Our waitress explained everything and answered our questions. They just changed their menu and it is small. We started with the sourdough bread as an appetizer, and it was delicious! I had the butchers cut steak and the green beans. It was cooked perfectly and was tasty. I could have used a little more butter because it gave the meat a kick. They let me taste the 2 sauces that you could add to your steak but it was not worth it. They didn't add any flavor. Hubby had the salmon and he enjoyed it. It was small but he was full after he ate it, the bread, green beans and zucchini that came with it. Overall it was not bad. I'd recommend that they not charge for everything, including sauces. Also, they should add some additional sides like baked potatoes or mashed potatoes, broccoli, etc.

The jalapeño ranch dressing is fantastic and really brings everything together. I'm also a big fan of "The Heather" taco on corn. The bowl is something I order often, and it's consistently been a favorite. However, today was really disappointing. I ordered my usual bowl to go, and when I got home, I found several pieces of steak mixed in with the mushrooms. As a vegetarian, finding large pieces of meat in my meal was very off-putting. This experience won't stop me from coming back, but I do want to urge the team to be more careful when preparing and packaging orders--especially when it comes to dietary preferences. Please double- or triple-check orders to make sure they're accurate. I'm hoping this was just a one-time mistake, because I really do enjoy the food here.

Keepers Coastal Kitchen brings a coastal-inspired dining experience to South Austin with a relaxed…read moreneighborhood feel. The restaurant's "landlocked life, coastal state of mind" concept comes through in the menu, featuring seafood-forward dishes, creative cocktails, and Gulf-inspired flavors. I ordered a custom crafted Black Cherry Muddled Mezcal Margarita, which was a great balance of smoky mezcal, sweetness, and fresh flavors. It was a unique twist on a classic margarita and was the highlight of the meal. I started with the Roasted Carrots, served with whipped ricotta, watercress, date vinaigrette, and candied pecans. While the combination of flavors was interesting, the dish felt more like a salad than a true roasted carrot dish. The carrots were also a bit overcooked, and I would have preferred for the carrots themselves to be the main focus and shine as the highlight of the dish. For my entrée, I ordered the Cioppino and customized it by removing the clams and adding extra mussels. The dish featured mussels, white fish, shrimp, and chopped clams in a flavorful tomato broth served with grilled sourdough. The seafood was well prepared, however the broth was a bit too thick like a marinara consistency but had good rich and savory flavor. The restaurant was not very busy during my visit, which made for a relaxed dining experience. The atmosphere is casual yet polished, and it's a nice spot for anyone looking for coastal flavors without having to leave Austin.

As someone who loves…read moresupporting local restaurants -- especially Persian-owned businesses -- and lives in an area that desperately needs more great dining options, I was rooting for this place from the beginning. Unfortunately, over time, the food has been more disappointing than memorable. From the opening preview when the shrimp hot dog made its debut -- an ambitious choice, but not one that made me excited to come back -- to the overly salty crab fingers and other menu items that have felt like they were trying to be interesting rather than actually being delicious, it just hasn't come together. The biggest frustration is that the potential is clearly there. The location is great, the concept is unique, and Circle C needs more restaurants that people can't wait to return to. I'm still hoping they find their stride because I want local places like this to succeed.
