I’m taking this over AI signage any day of the week
Rosewood Social Club already selling
Saw this listing from the owner
The Pancake & Hashbrowns at Toasty Badger
This single pancake is the size of a large pizza. And they are spot on as well!
Also got the crispy hashbrowns which are fantastic. $10 for both makes this a steal.
Smashed n sauced 10/10
I finally got fat tenders that I've been craving. Food was fresh, fries were perfect and their burger was so good I finished it before I thought of taking a Pic lol. I'm not saying they the best in the world, I'm just saying they the best I've had in a very long time. I was so happy I didn't get catfished with small loser tenders. I definitely will be going again, I visited the one in Lake creek village
New burger food truck open on Airport BLVD is really good - Evan's Smash Shack
Saw a post on IG about a new burger truck opening and it is solid. Free parking is on theo rd near The Glassmith. The truck itself is to the left of the smoke shop right at the front.
Edit: I had the mushroom melt and my wife had the spicy smash. Both were really good and everything was made fresh
Cafe de Rico
I stopped at this new cafe after going to Paprika and it was really cute. Mexican style drinks. I had the horchata latte. They have homemade conchas also. Very mom and pop.
The gelato was also surprisingly great. The owner gave us a sample.

SIZZLIN DOGS MENU
Saw someone share an AI menu they found so figured I’d share this monstrosity I found off of Airport blvd
Who's fish and chips comes out on top in Austin?
Curious as to which restaurant you all believe serves the top fish and chips in Austin? So far I've tried F&C from:
Murray's Tavern
Kelly's Irish Pub
Dead Rabbit
Fish Shop
For Cod's Sake
Schoolhouse Pub
Draught House Pub
I'd say this is my best to worst ranking so far. A friend and I have been on a journey trying out new spots every other week. Where should we go next?
Chinese takeout
any good Chinese takeout places? I’ve tried a few and they just don’t hit the spot like Houston restaurants have. I legit just want shrimp fried rice that’s not $20 for a handful.
Checking in: Tyson’s Tacos from mid to bad
I live nearby and occasionally enjoyed a few menu items. Ordered for the first time in a year on Monday and the decline was noticeable from the moment I opened my food. Just the color and the whole vibe of everything were off. Low energy and no longer tasty.
Susushi - don’t waste your time
On the topic of AI menus…
Food was mid at best. They also had ingredients like cucumber and avocado in the spicy tuna roll that were not listed in the menu. The roll had 10% the amount of fish compared to that pic, honestly may have been 0 fish and all mayo.
I would not recommend this spot at all.
Vivo
Always a mixed bag at Vivo. I eat here once in a blue moon, usually before catching a show next door at AFS, and the food is usually pretty good, but the dining vibes are rough. A noisy rolling backup A/C plugged into the ceiling just a few feet from tables can make conversation a challenge, and then there's the bathrooms that you can smell from 20 feet away. That said, their con carne sauce is one of my faves in Austin, and their puffy tacos are on point.
Restaurants with great vegetarian options?
Have family visiting this week for dinner, one vegetarian. We all like high-quality food and I don’t mind a slightly higher end price tag for a good dish. The rest of us are not vegetarian and have no other restrictions. Any ideas?
Korean wings recommendation
I’m trying to find places in Austin that sells some good Korean wings so lmk if anyone knows places
Vinegar Popcorn at Drafthouse
I’m obsessed with the chip shop popcorn at Alamo Drafthouse - it’s salt and vinegar popcorn with Goldfish (ambivalent about the Goldfish tho), and would love to know if anyone knows what they use to season the popcorn. I imagine it’s some kind of vinegar salt, but would be rad to find the right one right away.
Good date spots with tasting menus in Austin
Hey all! I'm looking for a nice spot for a date with my girlfriend, ideally with a tasting menu, in Austin.
The budget would ideally be sub 250 for a tasting menu and drinks.
We're both in college and 21+, so any genre / vibe is cool.
Thanx!
