We had to kill time in Austin so hubby decided to try the French Quarter since it was on his list…read moreand close to our destination. It did not disappoint! We did not make reservations, I'd advise you to do it. However it was worth the 40 minute wait. The restaurant is very cozy with low lights. Great for a date or dinner party. We skipped the appetizer since we were running late but we will try one the next time. They bring you large flakey rolls and seasoned butter. Hubby had the catfish ponchatrain with red beans and rice and carrots. I had the beef and shrimp pasta with a brandy cream sauce. The food was so good! Our server Brooke was great. She made sure that we had everything we needed and our experience was good. Hubby ended the meal by getting the blueberry cheesecake and key lime pie to go. However, as we waited, another customer told us that the bread pudding was excellent. Then another customer told us that the chocolate cheesecake would give the bread pudding a run for its money. But as we sat and watched, several tables had the blueberry cheesecake brought to them to go. So I'd say leave room for desert!

We tried to go to happy hour with my partner's parents, but that was only available in the bar area. Given they have some health problems to consider, we could not move over and hover over teeny tables to have dinner so had to handle full price. At full price, I'd give it a solid 3.5. Bumped to a 4 because this is hard to find around here. We got: - shrimp yoli (if you only order one dish, get one with this SAUCE. It's to die for. The shrimp had too much seasoning that it was a little choke worthy and I NEVER complain about flavor. Just lighten up a little!) - escargot (the butter was broken.. so it was kinda rough) -catfish gumbo (solid portion) -redfish add lump crab (while we enjoyed this, it was pricy for what it was) -shrimp and crawfish pasta (good) -orange crème brûlée (light.. not my fav crème brûlée ever but fun to try) - chocolate cake brownie with ice cream

I had heard about Los ChilaKillers from friends who highly recommended it, and I'm so glad I…read morefinally tried it out, it was one of the best experiences I've had! As soon as I walked in, I felt welcomed. The ambience was great! The host was attentive and cordial, and our server, Eliseo, was incredible from start to finish. There were so many great choices on the menu that I asked for his recommendations, and he took the time to explain different options, what they came with, and what customers usually enjoyed most. He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to care that I had a great first experience there. I decided to go with the Chorimigas based on his suggestion. I also noticed that Carne Guisada was on the menu and asked how it compared to a competitor's. Without me expecting it, Eliseo brought out a small portion for me to try so I could decide for myself, which really shows how much he goes above and beyond for his guests. I'm so glad he did! The carne guisada was delicious, if not better than the competitor's. The flavor was unique but still classic and comforting. Chef Mina heard my comments about the carne guisada and came out to introduce herself. I turned beet red, it was unexpected but very flattering! (I got a bit emotional as it was a rough morning.) She was incredibly hospitable and asked for my opinion and thoughts on the competitor. It was a brief but meaningful conversation about the dishes, and I truly appreciated her taking the time to connect. Eliseo remained attentive throughout the entire visit, checking in at the right times, making sure everything tasted great, and keeping a friendly, welcoming attitude the whole time. His service truly elevated the entire experience, and I can't thank him enough for going the extra mile. I highly recommend him!!! I even purchased a souvenir coffee mug because I couldn't leave without one! This truly made my morning!!! I'll definitely be coming back for the carne guisada. Highly recommend this amazing restaurant! ***** Había escuchado sobre Los ChilaKillers por medio de amigos que me lo habían recomendado mucho, y me da gusto haberlo probado finalmente. ¡fue una de las mejores experiencias que he tenido! Desde el momento en que entré, me sentí bienvenido. El host fue atento y cordial, y nuestro mesero, Eliseo, fue increíble de principio a fin. Había tantas opciones buenas en el menú que le pedí sus recomendaciones, y se tomó el tiempo de explicarme las diferentes opciones, lo que incluían y cuáles eran las favoritas de los clientes. Fue paciente, conocedor y realmente parecía importarle que tuviera una gran primera experiencia. Decidí pedir las Chorimigas basado en su sugerencia. También noté que tenían Carne Guisada en el menú, así que le pregunté cómo se comparaba con la de un competidor. Sin que yo lo esperara, Eliseo me trajo una pequeña porción para que la probara y pudiera decidir por mí mismo, lo cual demuestra que realmente va más allá por sus clientes. ¡Me dio mucho gusto que lo hiciera! La carne guisada estaba deliciosa, si no es que mejor que la del competidor. El sabor era único, pero a la vez clásico y reconfortante. La Chef Mina escuchó mis comentarios sobre la carne guisada y salió a presentarse. ¡Me puse rojo como tomate! Fue inesperado pero muy halagador. Fue increíblemente amable, me preguntó mi opinión y mis pensamientos sobre el competidor. Fue una conversación breve pero significativa sobre los platillos, y realmente agradecí que se tomara el tiempo de acercarse. Eliseo se mantuvo atento durante toda la visita, verificando en los momentos adecuados que todo estuviera bien y asegurándose de que todo supiera excelente, siempre con una actitud amable y profesional. Su servicio realmente elevó toda la experiencia, y no puedo agradecerle lo suficiente por ese extra esfuerzo. ¡Incluso compré una taza de recuerdo porque no me podía ir sin una! Definitivamente regresaré por la carne guisada. ¡Recomiendo ampliamente este increíble restaurante! (Used Google Translate)

Stopped by Phoebe's Diner while in Austin for business because I didn't want another boring hotel…read morebreakfast. Googled the best breakfast spots near me, and Phoebe's popped up. Glad it did. The menu isn't huge, but honestly that's usually a good sign -- focus on doing a smaller menu really well instead of serving 94 mediocre things and a sad waffle. I ordered the Bad Ass Bacon & Eggs plate. It came with thick-cut bacon, 2 eggs, hash brown casserole, wheat toast, and smoked salsa. Bacon - 9/10 This wasn't your average thin breakfast bacon. Thick-cut, almost pork belly style, with killer flavor and very meaty. Eggs - 9/10 Cooked perfectly and tasted fresh. Simple, but done right. Hash Brown Casserole - 8/10 Different than what I expected, but in a good way. Unique flavor and a great addition to the plate. Salsa - 7/10 Very homemade style salsa with a smoky flavor. Different, but really good. Atmosphere - 9/10 Loved the vibe. Cozy atmosphere, great music, and just an overall comfortable place to sit and enjoy breakfast. If this place was closer to home, I'd eat here often. Service - 10/10 Excellent service. Christy H. was friendly, attentive, and on point the whole time. Overall - 9/10 Definitely a must-try breakfast spot in Austin. They currently have four locations, and after eating here, it's easy to see why.

Came to ride bikes on the Gillieland Creek Trail and stopped in for Sunday lunch…read more Brothertons was great. We got 2 Two meat plates for our family of 4. The side of fries was overwhelming. So many. The green chili mac and cheese was a little spicy, the "green chili" didn't give it away when ordering. Overall we spent $60 and would come back. Everyone was friendly and the place was very clean.

Brotherton's Black Iron may have been a great BBQ when it first opened…read more The place is highly regarded and has a great reputation. However the great pitmaster, John Brotherton, who made Brotherton's Black Iron Barbecue a legendary place passed away a year ago. He was only 49. His death was sudden and shocking. Net of being a great cook, he apparently was also a great human being. He was much beloved in the Pflugerville community. When a master chef dies, It is usually very hard to his or her restaurant to recover. Brotherton's has taken a serious serious loss. * * * 1) The brisket that was once exceptionally tasty now does not taste like much. 2) Ribs that were highly regarded are now nothing special. 3) I can't say whether the pitmaster was responsible for the sides. However the tater tot casserole has become unpleasant. The beans don't have anything to them. * * * Fortunately I was with charming and absolutely delightful company. So the conversation over the table sparkled. The living carry on many of the good things of life. Those good things take more forms than just the food we put in our mouths. * * * That said, Brotherton's is a serious reminder that death comes to us all. When we die, many of the good things we created die with us.

This place is so intoxicating from the aqua blue color palate and funky green art work to the alluring lighting and huge metal plate (looks like something from a ship...also their logo). My brother said the green artwork looked like broccoli. My brother ordered the Idaho trout with coconut rice and Brussel sprouts. I sampled his food and it was all good. The standout was the Brussel sprouts...crispy with this absolutely delicious drizzle. I ordered the Mezze plate with a flavor explosion and many desirable texture. It had lamb kabobs, fresh salad (emphasis on fresh) with thinly sliced cucumbers, finely sliced onions and creamy feta (never had creamy feta), red round sweet peppers, hummus with the most delightful pesto like sauce, and olives. Oh my...what a delicious lunch! Morgan, our server, was attentive and accomodating. She moved us to another table when we notice our table was rocking a little. Great catching up with my brother and excellent meal!

The chicken and waffles were enjoyed but one of those chicken pieces was burned and bitter (see pic) The buffalo chili was on the spicy side and for $16 a small portion. (See pic). My 10-year-old has a tiny appetite, and it was even a small portion for him. The whipped feta appetizer was delicious as were the fries. Very well executed. I'd probably come back.

Ambiance is good, we mostly sit outdoors, service is always great, last two times Evan took care of us, and he's awesome. We don't eat anything with beef or pork, and in Doc Bs, even with that restriction they have so many options, especially with chicken, cocktails are bit pricey, but it's same in all the places in Domain, but they are solid, my go to drinks are Beverly Hills martini, crazy beautiful and the internal affairs. Hubby usually gets done local drafts. Food: my son loves habanero honey glazed fried chicken with jalapeño potatoes. I like naked chicken wings(Thai sweet and spicy sauce on the side), or chicken kebab, which I usually have leftovers almost always. Hubby likes there , the number six sandwich. Their kungpao Brussel sprouts are addictive(but it's not a regular thing). And even though we have been here N number of times, we are always so full and never make it to dessert, but this time had decided to try dessert, hubby and me shared house made Oreo ice cream, I love love ice cream and there Oreo ice cream is one of the best Oreo ice cream I've ever had, and that warm not too sweet chocolate sauce was just perfect. Thank-you Doc B's for another amazing meal
