My favorite food truck in Austin. Smoked brisket meat wrap was the special of the day when I visited, highly recommended. Cold brewed coffee too.
Grab a Jennifer cocktail and enjoy in the backyard. Hendrick's Gin + lime + more cucumber.
You're at a place called Lucy's Fried Chicken. Don't you dare go healthy! I Suggest the deep fried deviled eggs and a basket of chicken. For a beverage, live a little and try the chicken lips.
Driving across the Congress Avenue Bridge, you'd never know the world's largest urban bat colony (1.5 million at summer peak) lives under it ... unless you show up at sundown to see them.
Best food truck in Austin. Bahn Mi Taco is heaven, ditto the sweet potato fries.
The Fried Milk is the best dessert in Austin, and quite possibly the country. If you walk out without enjoying it, you're a fool.
SXSW Recommendation from Sietsema- Their soft serve ice cream is something that I dream about, the context makes it sublime. Get your burger Austin-style, with mustard.
You're a sucker if you don't see any films while you're at SXSW. When you do, do food + movie @ Alamo. Black & white milkshakes here are almost as good as they are on Cape Cod
Bucket o' seafood (skrimps + crawfish + corn + mussels + sausage) cooked up and then dumped on your table. Amazing. Five finger discount on little kids artwork on the way out!
Two key dishes you won't want to miss: horseradish crusted salmon, green chile macaroni.

Raise your City iQ: An Iced Turbos at Jo's is made of coffee, espresso, hazelnut, chocolate and cream, and it tastes like a cup of melted ice cream. En savoir plus .
Inspiring locale. Patio at sunset is one of the best spots in Austin. Cheese plate / prosecco tops it off!
Get the Don Juan taco. Bacon, potatoes, cheese, eggs (?) - one of these filled me up all day.
You may be surprised by the fine sausages created here. If you love bacon, go with the Hogzilla: a bacon, pork and onion sausage topped with pulled pork & fried onions. Frank also has veggie specials En savoir plus .
Checking in here gets you awesome Portlandia posters! Great music and free beer offered here too. It's definitely worth repeat visits.
Chef Bryce Gilmore owns the popular gastropub Barley Swine, but he got his start with a food truck called the Odd Duck. It still exists and sometimes he still mans the grill.
Contigo has the décor of a South Texas ranch, but the menu takes a few chances! How about a Pig’s blood Mary? It's a bloody Mary made with pig blood, bloody Mary mix, and comes with or without vodka!
Get the namesake sandwich, Lucky's Puccia. Layers of juicy slices of prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, stacks of spicy arugula, red ripe tomatoes, drizzled basil oil and spicy chipotle mayo.
Memorable meal. The rabbit seven ways is a must. And sit at the bar to get a look into the kitchen.
A tap wall decorated with over 50 various Texas beers, 2 cask engines, enthusiastic cicerones, and a bacon brewing bus in the backyard area. Come here to hone your craft of beer and bacon consumption. En savoir plus .
It's almost impossible to recommend 1 or 2 things here. Order *everything* (anything) and your taste buds will thank you. But if you have to choose ONE or TWO, get the Carrots & the Spiced Redfish.
Komé's ramen will change your life--though you can only find it at lunchtime--and plan to arrive early for a dinner spot, since the restaurant fills up. [Eater 38 Member]
This place doesn't have long lines for nothing. Take your pick of anything on the menu and see why chef Paul Qui is an Austin treasure. En savoir plus .
Let's just get this out of the way: younger sibling Uchiko is better. But like Manning and Brady or Magic and Bird, you won't go wrong by choosing either one.
"Asian-Southern comfort Peached Tortilla opened a new restaurant. The menu spans the particularly spicy mapo bolognese, tacos, and fluffy bingsu." -Eater
Expectations were sky-high for Bryce Gilmore's second restaurant, and Odd Duck has surpassed them from the magnificent large format dishes to the playful brunch pastries. [Eater 38 Member] En savoir plus .
A Japanese izakaya in a Texan setting, serving izakaya classics, inventions, and some takes on Texan classics. Sounds like an unorthodox combination, but the result is superb. I will definitely return
If you don't get the catfish tacos, you've made a huge mistake. They are better than any fish taco you've ever had.
Brisket is outstanding. Also had Carnitas taco. Excellent BBQ. Worth the trip out.
We swoon for Via 313’s nationally praised Detroit-style pizza. Try the bestselling Detroiter, with two kinds of pepperoni, or the Carnivore, which adds bacon slices, deli ham, and Italian sausage. En savoir plus .
Brisket bento box is a delicious BBQ Japanese mashup, and a feast for two. Everything is tasty, including the inventive cocktails. Fun outdoor vibes.
The Violet Crown drink is fantastic. The doughnuts are great, but the strawberry is especially good.
This tucked-away East side bistro is well worth the trip for its romantic outdoor space, well-executed classic French cuisine, & reasonably-priced wine list. [Eater 38 Member]
The “Black Magic” oil Brisket tacos — the Suadero — are life changing. Everything else is delicious too, especially the mezcal cocktails.
Come early, there is always a line. They serve beer and drinks while you wait. It's worth it. The brisket is phenomenal. Ranked one of the best BBQ places in Texas for a reason.
