The Best Restaurants in Austin
"With shops all over Austin and Colorado, you can find this chain everywhere. Breakfast tacos are served all day and honestly everything on the menu is good (get it “trashy” with queso)."

"P. Terry opened his first burger stand back in 2005 and has built an empire in the ten years since. Order some shoestring fries on the side, and tell them not to skimp on the special sauce."
"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants Bouldin. Californians love their In-N-Out, and Austinites love their P."
"The fast-food joint may have become famous outside of the city after being featured in the movie Dazed and Confused, but locals have been enjoying the burgers, sandwiches, and fried chicken for nearly 50 years. Most burgers are less than $5, while a two-piece fried chicken dinner with two sides is under $10."
"Rolling up to a speakerbox and ordering food from the comfort of your car is a classic experience everyone needs to experience at least once. Doing so with the family at Top Notch, one of Austin’s finest burger stands, is required. My pro-tip is to try the fried chicken."
"Along with low-cost burgers and sandwiches, Top Notch’s two-piece fried chicken dinners are a great deal, especially since it comes with Texas toast and two sides, like fries, tots, or even corn dogs."
"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants American East Austin. Dan’s doesn’t just convey the appearance of a classic burger joint; their history goes all the way back to 1973 when they opened their first location. This family-run fast food restaurant serves fresh, made-to-order burgers using Certified Angus Ground Chuck."
"The Austin burger mini-fast-food chain with multiple locations serves biscuits and breakfast tacos for breakfast, covering all Central Texas's bases, plus omelet and other egg-based dishes The restaurants are open for dine-in service, with takeout and drive-thru capabilities."

"9828 Great Hills Trail Suite 300, Austin, TX 78759Details: local Austin restaurant serving custom grain bowlsWhat to get: Sedona Lime and Aloha Poke bowls"
"The grain bowl restaurant makes use of quinoa, poke, black forbidden rice, and soba noodles, for satisfying meals that don't sacrifice taste."
"3 out of 5 stars Restaurants Pershing. The chicken sandwich is the star of the show at Flyrite Chicken—from the Standard, with crispy chicken breast and homemade pickles on a whole-wheat bun; to the Cowboy, with spicy chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese and fresh jalapenos. Other items on the menu include chicken strips, wraps and salads."
"2129 E 7th St. | Flyrite uses fresh local ingredients from better the best possible sources, including all-natural chicken raised without antibiotics. Their delicious sandwiches, wraps, and shakes are fresh and made to order. The crispy chicken breast is served on a toasted whole wheat bun with homemade pickle chips and your choice of sauce."

"Great doughnuts, quick and friendly service, but I wasn't super happy with the kolaches. They are the oblong style that I feel has too much dough co..."
"If you’re looking for a sweet treat in Austin that is going to completely “wow” you and your friends, then the Monster Cookie from Henbit at Fareground downtown is an absolute must!. Reminiscent of the popular giant cookies from Levain Bakery in NYC, these giant cookies are uniquely Texas with pecans, white sonora wheat, chocolate chips (of course) and even a touch of lemon zest (don’t knock it until you try it)!. I will never get sick of this cookie."
"Not too long ago, if you wanted to enjoy the Monster Cookie from Henbit, you had to visit Fareground since that’s where Henbit is located. Lucky for those of us who don’t work downtown and also don’t want to fight parking, you can find these Monster Cookies at Whole Foods downtown!. Chocolate + Nut lovers rejoice as Henbit’s cookie is the perfect combo of both and it’s huge!"
"CURBSIDE PICKUP AVAILABLEOUTDOOR DININGDELIVERYTAKEOUTDINE-IN. A modern day “roadside” burger offering 100% all-natural, antibiotic free Angus beef burgers, hot dogs, crinkle-cut fries, frozen custard, beer and wine, and more."
"Sometimes it can be hard to find a good place to let your canine best friend run free and let loose some energy, especially if you live in a city. But at Red Bud Isle, dogs can run free on their own island. This 13 acre recreational space has a walking loop for humans and a whole island of forest, lakeshore, and land for dogs to enjoy."
"If parks mean nothing to you unless your pal with four paws can come, head to Red Bud Isle. This is an island in the middle of the Colorado River between Westfield and Westlake Hills. It has a lakefront, off-leash dog park, where your pup can splash and play."
"Tucked away on a little island on Lake Austin, Red Bud Isle is mostly known as a leash-free dog park. There’s an open play area just for pups near the park’s entrance. If you're dogless, however, it's also a nice place for an easy hike."
"Located 30-40 minutes from downtown, Sandy Creek Park sits on the banks of Lake Travis, in one of its quieter coves. Dense forest opens out onto a stretch of shoreline well-suited for swimming and boating, while hiking trails along the water offer lovely vistas of the lake. The park has 20 primitive camping sites operating on a first-come, first-serve basis that can be snagged for only $15 a night, in case you want to turn your Austin beach outing into a weekend getaway."
"Similar to several locations on the shores of Lake Travis, this beach is rocky but the view is so perfect that it’s nothing that a good pair of shoes can’t fix!. You can come and sit by the water and enjoy a quick lunch, or go fishing from the shallow waters. There are restrooms on-site with primitive camping sites if you wanted to turn your Austin beach outing into a weekend getaway."
"5 out of 5 stars Restaurants Spyglass-Bartons Bluff. Austin is a city where tacos reign supreme, making Tacodeli royalty in the fast food realm. They have a menu of over 35 tacos, all made from scratch with fresh ingredients—many of which are organic and locally sourced."

"2600 E Cesar Chavez St. | Fresh, flavor-packed and unique-to-Texas, Bento Picnic’s menu has expanded. The popular eatery now offers guests additional protein options, inspired by the grilling traditions of Texas and Japan — and the option to customize their own bento box. Just in time for Spring gatherings, the restaurant has added a Picnic by the Pound option to its menu — and made all options available all day, 11 a.m."

"There are three locations of Easy Tiger in Austin—one in the north, one in the south, and one in the east. Despite their differences in physical proximity, they all share some common characteristics that make Easy Tiger such a local favorite—mainly, a wide selection of beer, fluffy baked pretzels, and, perhaps most important of all, amazing patio spaces. In its true essence, Easy Tiger is a beer garden, and the energy of the classic German staple is evident to anyone who has spent time on any of their patios."

"Central Austin: 6406 N Interstate 35 Frontage Rd Suite 1100, Austin, TX 78752. I have been frequenting this spot more and more lately. The pastrami sandwich and breakfast sandwich are two favorites, but so is the giant soft pretzel and housemade beer cheese."
