Top Best American Restaurants in Pflugerville

"Contigo has been a Mueller-area mainstay for families since it opened in 2011, and the 2018 renovations made it more parent-friendly than ever. Folks can gather in the enclosed dining area for a more temperate experience during the scorching summer, or enjoy the beer garden's block-party feel with their dogs and younglings. Updates also include a fenced play yard off the deck bar, while kids (and adults) can play cornhole and washers."

"The inspiration for this place was a ranch by the same name in South Texas. The owners loved the original ranch so much that they decided to bring it with them to Austin and open this restaurant on the fringes of the now booming Mueller development. The open concept restaurant is almost entirely outdoors, with just the kitchen, bar and a few tables actually under a roof."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants American Town Lake. Since opening on Rainey Street in late 2015, Emmer & Rye has been generating serious buzz—and with it, serious crowds. It’s the kind of space you want to ogle: towering shelving peppered with vintage cookbooks and copper pots serve as a room divider, and an open-format kitchen reveals a very organized culinary team."

"From the grain-obsessed mind of James Beard Award finalist, executive chef, and co-owner Kevin Fink comes the finer-dining New American restaurant in downtown Austin, right on the edge of Rainey Street’s bar-packed district. The slimmer takeout menu focuses on all things local with high-end dressings, from roasted beets to wagyu steak. Of special note are the pastas (cacio e pepe) and knockout desserts from pastry chef and co-owner Tavel Bristol-Joseph."

"It’s easy to end up with a lot of dishes at chef Kevin Fink’s downtown Austin restaurant Emmer & Rye, especially when the dim sum-style cart rolls around. Everything is seasonally based, with an eye towards grains (think breads, pastas, cakes). Don’t skip the intricate and thoughtful desserts from pastry chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph."

"Located in the historic neighborhood of Clarksville, the Josephine House offers some of the city’s most beautifully curated breakfasts and brunches in all of Austin. The restaurant itself is found in the Clarksville Cottage, which features a small marble bar to enjoy your morning coffee at and a dining room with intimate tables and private nooks at which to tuck into your breakfast. If you want to enjoy your breakfast outdoors, you’re more than welcome to do so on the restaurant’s spacious and grassy front lawn."

"Want to feel like you’re in the middle of one of those travel Instagrams you’re fairly certain is not actually a real place, and was just staged for the perfect photo?. Welcome to Josephine House. Everything about this place is perfect, starting with its insanely adorable craftsman house location to the striped straws they put in all their cocktails."

"2808 Guadalupe | StDirty Martin’s has been an Austin staple since 1926, offering classic burgers, fries, onion rings, and sliced fried pickles, along with some fashioned American chow served in their original space on Guadalupe, next to the University of Texas campus.

"Dirty’s, as locals call it, has been feeding UT students and fellow Austinites since 1926. The dirt floors have been cemented, and the prices have risen slightly over the years, but you can still get a single patty burger for under $5 at this local institution."

"Gourdough’s Public House isn’t for the faint of heart (or stomach!) Try a burger served on a donut bun, a donut Po’boy, or a salad that’s served with…yep. Fried garlic donuts. WEBSITE | 2700 S Lamar Blvd"

The ice cream flavors change weekly and the macarons come in a huge variety of flavors including London Fog tea, matcha, Mexican vanilla, and fruity pebbles."

One of their most popular baked goods to try: jiggly Japanese cheesecake (basically a combination between cheesecake, pound cake, and flan textures). They also offer cute macarons shaped and decorated as characters and taiyaki hot pockets (fish-shaped waffle pockets)."

"To get to grips with Texas just look for this building behind the big star a couple of blocks south of the State Capitol. One of the region’s top attractions, this museum has human artifacts going back to a 16,000-year-old projectile point unearthed half an hour north of Austin. You’ll do a deep dive on pre-European history, the tumultuous 18th and 19th centuries, as well as the many things associated with Texas around the world, like sporting prowess, oil and gas drilling, space exploration, ranching and rodeos."

"The Bullock Texas State History Museum tells the state's story through a variety of interesting interactive exhibits, along with audio-visual displays and film. The permanent Story of Texas exhibit is home to artifacts and displays that feature defining events in the state's history. Artifacts include the preserved hull of the 17th-century La Belle, which was shipwrecked at the mouth of the Mississippi River."

Aromatic and irresistible, all of the dishes are made with the goal of nurturing healthier eating habits like introducing a lot of grains and lentils into one’s diet."

"What it is instead is an exceptional restaurant serving up a sublime, inventive take on surf ‘n’ turf that may leave a rather sizeable hole in your budget, but is unlikely to leave you with any regrets in the process. For special occasions, few other restaurants in Austin can match the exceptional service, warmly inviting ambiance, award-winning wine list, contemporary décor, and banquet worthy fresh seafood."
