I had the horseradish salmon with veggies and sweet potatoes. It was all amazing! And the portion was huge so I got to enjoy it again the next night. Seems to be a pretty popular place. I went in a Monday night around 930pm and it was packed. My only issue was the lighting. I sat at the bar and... More

Great brunch spot( lunch was good too, but brunch was fabulous!) Atmosphere was great, along with food and cocktails. They make this fabulous drink with vodka, lemonade, locally made Paula's lemon liqueur and mint...delicious!, They don't take reservations and its a popular spot so plan to wait to sit, but then you're not rushed. Comfy couches and a nice outside... More

Found this place by mistake, but 1 ofthe best places I have had a meal and drinks for while in Austin. Great food, great service and great hospitality. Only 1 small problem is always packed but having to wait that little for a table is worth it and if only a couple of you use the full bar service and... More

This is one of the BEST Austin brunch spots. The patio here is so fantastic! It's a great place to sit and have a Sunday brunch. Their "Moonshine" is also pretty delicious. Great location to people watch. Great atmosphere. Great service.. Don't miss the green eggs, king ranch chicken casserole, and corn-flake breaded chicken strips.

We visited this restaurant the day before mothers day and it was packed but we didn't have to wait long at all. We got there an hour after they opened so that may have a little bit to do with the short wait time. The food is great, really fresh, good menu selections to choose from.

Went there for dinner. The Tortilla soup was an excellent start. My buffalo meatloaf and mashed potatoes were great along with my wife's fish. The service was excellent and the menu has some unique choices. The restaurant has a large patio that fills up early. The prices were very reasonable considering the high quality.

The bar on the patio is really cool. Albeit a bit on the dark side so bring your OWLS people! The food is heavy and oily for the most part and there are not a lot of vegetarian options. The drinks are another story! Delicious!

Four of us visited Moonshine for a Saturday night dinner. We had to wait for a table (no reservations), but they had a pleasant outdoor patio and convenient bar area. The menu is so interesting. They didn't have the usual stuff...a real foodie place. I had a broiled trout stuffed with cornbread. I chose mac and cheese for my side... More

Went here for lunch recently--food was great! I had the Chicken almondine w/ a side of green chile and cheese grits...YUM...comfort food for sure. Would be a great place to hangout in the evening and have drinks....I may have to do that the next time I'm in Austin.

We went at 10:30AM with a group of 12 and had to wait about an hour, but it was so worth it. The breakfast buffet has everything from chicken fried steak to green eggs to biscuits & gravy, to endless egg concoctions. Food was delicious & the space had a very cool, rustic Texas vibe for being downtown.
