The standard dishes are always a win -- I particularly love the gumbo, the Patrizi salad with chicken, and the corn dog. Oh, don't miss the state fair competing corn dog - it's an absolute must-try! On top of all that, the service is top-notch, and the environment is welcoming, making it easy to settle in and enjoy yourself.

The corn dogs were tasty, the catfish dish was packed with creole flavors, but the chicken and beignets were OK. The chicken wasn't crispy / fried enough and the beignets were very sweet. While the concept is fairly unique, the biggest letdown was how pushy the bartender was upon entry. Felt odd to hand over my card and start a tab before I even looked at a menu.

From there, go grab yourself a drink and a table. She texts you when your food is ready and you pick up at the same place you ordered. Our wait was kinda long and I'm completely okay with that. She's by herself making your food when you order it so it's worth the wait. LPL is a very relaxed place that has good music and a large vinyl collection so even if the wait is long, it's still a good time. The pastry on the pastelito was perfectly flaky and the boudin filling was the right proportion of meat and rice. The fried chicken thigh was excellent, with a nice thick crust and very juicy meat. The red beans and rice had good flavor and enough meat to satisfy. It tastes great with the cornbread. Pro tip: order a second thigh. You won't regret it. all the flowers for Five O Four

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.

We were in Austin for a conference so I did some research and stumbled upon Moonshine Grill. I made…read morea reservation a week in advance. We arrived and in a few minutes we were seated at a table and immediately given water in mason jars and asked for our drink order. 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.

The service was decent, with friendly staff, and the kitchen accidentally sent us an extra side for free, but the food was not good enough to make me want to return. We started with Sawyer's Famous Biscuits, which were probably the best part of the meal. They were fluffy but crispier than most biscuits I've had, and I enjoyed the contrast in textures. Of course, it also helps that biscuits are hard to dislike when served with whipped butter and house preserves. For my main, I ordered the Little Bit of Chicken Fried. The fried chicken breasts were mediocre and slightly dry, the green beans were undercooked, the cornbread was overly crumbly, and the poblano gravy lacked flavor. My dad ordered the Barbacoa Benedict and was not impressed either. The eggs were overcooked, and after one bite, he left the crispy potato cakes untouched. We both heavily disliked the grits, which our waitress had recommended. Like the poblano gravy, they essentially tasted like water, with little to no seasoning or flavor. We were lucky, or perhaps unlucky, enough to receive two orders of them. Overall, there were a few positives, mainly the biscuits and friendly service, but the rest of the meal was extremely underwhelming. With so many highly rated brunch spots in the area, I do not think the food here is worth going out of your way for.

My eggs Benedict was served on a unique bread - not a traditional English muffin - that kind of fell apart as I ate it. The flavor was great though. I should have gotten regular home fries, because the hashbrown casserole was cheesy and I wanted something to soak up the hollandaise and egg. The pancakes were so light they fell right apart when we began cutting into them. The flavor was great though. I would definitely recommend Phoebes.
