12_egg_omelette Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hey Y'all, My wife and I will be in Austin tomorrow from college station, she's working out there for the day and we're going to make a stop by the aqua dome, just want to show her some bigger tanks in the hope that we can move from the 12 to a bigger tank one day. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone can suggest an awesome place to have dinner. We really like low key places dives with great amazing food. I don't get to Austin much but a couple of my favorite places are Juan in a million and Dry Creek Cafe & Boat Dock. We might also hit up whole foods, she's never been to one.

victoly Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 OK, so this isn't a dive, but if you want to impress the shenanigans out of her, east side cafe near campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12_egg_omelette Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 This is great. You guys are making a great list and we'll try all of these at one point.

12_egg_omelette Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 What they need is a beer tasting at a fish store so you get tipsy and just buy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrEnuf Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Havanna is pretty close to Aquadome. Great cuban food with a cool outdoor seating area (too cold now) and some of the best empanadas I've had in the U.S. Lucy's fried chicken is around the corener from Curra's.. If you go to Curras have the avacado rita! Matts el Rancho...Gourmands is indead excellent, Kirby, Jack Allens.... I mean, Austin is one of the top five food cities in the nation just about anywhere that isn't a chain is going to be pretty **** good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 +1 to most of what the southside guys have listed: HopDoddy (gourmet burger) HomeSlice (pizza) Evangeline's (cajun) Cabo Bob's (DIY burritos - in my opinion beats out Freebirds and Chipotle) Gourdough's trailer (incredible donut desserts any time of day) Jack Allen's (homestyle Texas comfort food with a twist) but one of our absolute favorites is Sao Paulo, brazlian food just north of UT. Worth the drive and has a real "Hole in the Wall - Treasure" experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jestep Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Dock in roll food trailer (Lobster rolls that are actually affordable). Hopdoddy's is awesome but a pain to get into unless you go right when it opens. Huts hamburgers. Dart bowl enchiladas. Magnolia cafe. Parkside. St Philip pizza (just opened, really good) Mandolas Italian Market. Cypress Grill (Personally my favorite po boys, over quality seafood and evangeline) Just throwing some favorites out there.
