    Finally got to experience zeds after hearing about it for months. The ice cream tasted very fresh and I enjoyed the cheesecake bites. Theres always a line but it moves quickly and there are plenty of places to sit in the area. Great spot for a late night treat.

    Zeds Ice Cream is phenomenal! Came here around 8 PM on a Monday night and there was quite the crowds of ice-cream enthusiasts waiting to get their ice cream. Parking here is a bit limited but there is plenty of street parking available in the immediate area. The ice cream selection is unique: Pick your size, ice cream flavor (one fruit flavor mixed with either regular or dairy-free vanilla), then you add your desired drizzles and toppings. I ordered the Waffle Cone with strawberry flavor, chocolate + peanut butter drizzles, and cookie dough bites + Oreo toppings. It was quite the size and packed a punch! The wait is about 10-ish minutes after you place your order. There are plenty of picnic styled benches to sit and enjoy your ice cream. Highly recommend!

    Blackberry crumble ice cream and milkshakes

    I've heard great things about Zed's real fruit ice cream. It's a little stand with outdoor picnic bench seating only, so we were huddled and shivering in the rain while enjoying our ice cream. I got a cup of the blackberry crumble, which comes with blackberry ice cream, graham cracker crumbs, and caramel drizzle. The first two thirds of the ice cream were delicious, then the last third didn't have much flavour and tasted really milky. I got a small cup for $6.50, and it came with more ice cream than I expected. My friends got the banana milkshake with chocolate, and it definitely tasted very banana-y without much of a chocolate taste.

    YUMMMMYYYY Returning customers and we love bringing our out of town guests here! Menu is simple: size, fruit, base, and toppings. The fresh fruit is blended directly into the ice cream. They also have a rotating special mixes at the bottom of their menu. Order is simple: line up in the side walk and order at the window. They only have outdoor seating. Limited parking in the front but there is free neighborhood street parking

    Blackberry with chocolate and toasted coconut

    Such a fun unique twist on ice cream. I love the incorporation of fruit into the ice cream base. Tastes so fresh. I chose the blackberry base with chocolate sauce and toasted coconut. I love a fruit and chocolate pairing so this was a perfect combo. Perfect light girl dinner on vacation.

    Banana pudding
    Kim H.

    Always our favorite. I like getting their seasonal special flavors. Husband always gets the dairy free option. Order at the counter and comes out relatively quick. I've never eaten at the food trucks as it's always a stop after dinner or a mid afternoon snack

    Stumbled upon this spot 3 years ago and fell love. I'm so stoked to see them getting the recognition they deserve. I love the blackberry ice cream but you honestly can't go wrong. Vibes are on point and the staff is always a good time. 10/10 Real Ice Cream

    great location in East Austin
    Kimberley R.

    Absolutely delicious! I love the fruit infused soft serve with toppings of your choice concept. Probably my favorite ice cream place in all of Austin. I've always been a fan of soft serve, this place is one of the best! I can't wait to try their milkshake at my next visit.

    Strawberry with coconut flakes
    Kathy M.

    I love this concept - fresh fruit with a base ice cream flavor and toppings. There's a variety of fruit to choose from such as banana, blueberry, strawberry, etc. For the base, they have regular vanilla or dairy free vanilla. The fruit and base combine to become a delicious soft serve. There are a ton of toppings and drizzles to choose from. I ordered the strawberry with vanilla ice cream and toasted coconut flakes, which was a fantastic combo. This was perfect for a hot summer day! My friends and I loved it. One of my friends ordered his ice cream with a waffle cone and it was so good! The waffle cone is fresh, thick, and vanilla-y. I would definitely try the other flavors next time! Highly recommend Zeds for ice cream.

    Blackberry crumble and banana milkshake
    Lauren W.

    I enjoyed Zeds! I'm not usually a fruit dessert person, but this was actually really good. We were there around 9pm on a Sunday night, and there was only around a 2 min wait. I ordered the blackberry crumble and my husband had a banana milkshake. The blackberry crumble was perfect for me - very light and loved the toppings on it as well. My husband also really liked his milkshake - I'm not a fan of banana flavor, so it wasn't for me but that's just personal taste! Would definitely go back if I'm in the mood for something a bit lighter than my usual rich chocolate desserts :)

    strawberry cheesecake and strawberry with sprinkles
    Christina L.

    Love the concept but I think the execution is alright. Came right before they were closing and they gave us a honey bottle to mark us as the last people they'll accept in line as well as 20% (or 15%?) off which I thought was really cool. My friend raves about the strawberry cheesecake here so that's what I tried and it was pretty underwhelming. I like how you pick the fruit you want mixed into the base, and how natural of a taste it has, but I just wish it had more sweetness to it--either from riper fruit or maybe some honey mixed in. I also wasn't a fan of the cheesecake bites as I found the texture and flavor to be a bit off from regular cheesecake. I'm willing to give them another chance tho and see how the other fruits end up turning out.

    Banana with vanilla wafer & raspberry with cookie dough
    Ashley G.

    Overall it was a good time. The line was pretty long when I went on a Sunday evening. I placed my order at the window and grabbed a spot at one of the wooden tables (plenty of tables that are shaded). They have a little play area that had lots of kids running around. Super casual experience. There are also two other food trucks on site. I think the ice cream just wasn't for me. You pick an ice cream base, I did vanilla, then choose your fruit mix-in. The raspberry didn't have enough flavor for me to be impressed. The banana was better, but banana just isn't my thing. My friends and I agreed it was fun to try, but it probably won't make it into our regular ice cream rotation.

    4.5 My husband and I decided to visit Zeds while we were in the area. We parked in the small lot next to the building. We walked over to the building and saw the order window. We looked at their options and asked if we could taste the dairy free option. The man helping us was very friendly and he gave us taster spoons and told us it was made with oat milk. I ordered a small cup of the pineapple fruit, one scoop of the dairy free vanilla ice cream, with chopped pecan toppings. My husband ordered a regular size cup of the banana fruit, two scoops of dairy free vanilla ice cream, with a peanut butter drizzle. After ordering we looked for a place to sit and wait. They have seating in the front of the building, and in the back by the parking lot. My ice cream was really good. It was sweet but not overly sweet. The pineapple flavor was noticeable and the pecan toppings added a nice crunchy texture to the smooth, all natural ice cream. I tried my husband's and the banana flavor was also noticeable. The peanut butter drizzle added a slight saltiness. They were both very good. Overall it was a good place to get some ice cream. The service was good, and the ice cream was yummy. So glad they had a dairy free option.

You walk in and immediately know you are not in some polished Instagram cocktail lounge. It is loud, a little gritty, and full of people who are clearly there to have a good time and not pretend otherwise. The beer is cold, the Lone Star flows like Texas water, and the vibe is pure old school Austin. And yes, the legendary bathroom situation deserves its own paragraph. The men's room features a giant ice filled trough for a urinal, which feels like something out of a 1970s roadside saloon documentary. Somehow it is both ridiculous and perfectly on brand. It actually becomes a conversation starter because you walk out laughing and immediately tell your friends they have to see it and go pee. The crowd was friendly, the bartenders were quick with the beers, and nobody was taking themselves too seriously. I ended up staying longer than planned, drinking Lone Stars and talking to random people like we had known each other for years. If you want craft cocktails served with a rosemary sprig this is not your place. If you want a hilarious, slightly chaotic, authentically divey night in Austin with cheap beer and great stories, Dirty Bill's absolutely delivers. Five stars and I would go back in a heartbeat.

There was a small area where dancing could take place, but no one was dancing at the time. The staff including the general manager was super friendly. It felt like a wedding reception as you came into the club where you were greeted...very warm and welcoming. We had a drink and stayed a short while. It looked like a place you could come for a girls or guys night out or celebrating a fun occasion. Will definitely consider Dirty Bill's for a future fun evening...

Me and the wife went tonight for my birthday and I would absolutely recommend The Guest House! The ambiance is friendly, energetic and the service was impeccable. Our waitress and sommelier were genuine and extremely attentive but never overstayed their welcome. Cocktails were on par with downtown ATX but don't expect a heavy pour. Food is excellent and could easily contend with Odd Duck and Jeffrey's. This restaurant is modern, inventive and... different. A DJ in the restaurant creates a fun and "young" vibe for folks just starting to branch out into fine dining (IMO). Let it be known you can easily spend a fair amount but it's worth the visit. Here are my issues: The dress code is not enforced, seating arrangement isn't intimate, and it doesn't feel exclusive. I understand TGH is trying to put themselves on the map and I respect that. However, patrons can very easily drop $1K on dinner, and while the caliber of the staff matches the asking price, there appears to be no standard for the clientele as T-shirt wearers are accepted at the same level as black tie. Maybe that's just Austin and maybe that's acceptable for TGH. As the restaurant matures and further hones their craft, I would hope the standards increase. I've spent far less money for far better food and equivalent service while adhering to restaurant decorum. To TGH - Commanders Palace you are not. Keep up the good work but I expect a more intimate and professional dining experience for your asking price.

It's expensive! so just expect that going into the meal and enjoy. It's so worth the price.

From the vibes, to the food, and the fun, Bull & Bowl delivered on every level. Located on West 6th, Bull & Bowl doesn't have a dedicated or private parking lot. There is street parking all around as well as paid parking lots near by as well. We made our way up to the second level and were immediately greeted by the staff. We were taken past the bar and mechanical bull to our tables. Service was great! They were patient and knowledgeable with the menu/offerings, and made sure everyone was well taken care of. Drinks were great, an expansive menu with specialty cocktail offerings as well as a full bar, side note they do not have draft here. So far as dinner, their menu is rather diverse and we ordered quite the spread. Food came out fast, accurate, and hot. I opted for their Buttermilk Caesar Salad and loved it. Although we only went for the Mechanical Bull and had a blast, they do offer arcade games, duckpin bowling, karaoke rooms, and more. I say that to highlight the energy here was high and there were a number of groups/parties enjoying at Bull & Bowl has to offer and it was LOUD in there. Not a complaint, just something to keep in mind depending on the kind of evening you're looking to have. Everyone left the evening full and with a smile on their face, and Bull & Bowl will absolutely be on our list when looking to host future team outings. Thanks for the great time.
