Food is pricey but has great presentation, it comes out looking like artwork. It's a bit heavy on the intake,however, pleasing to the taste buds.Oh..if you don't like food that looks like it just died on your plate, stay away from the stuffed quail appetizer. It lookes like a naked basted amputee.
Let me give you a feel for the place.Moonshiners meet Greenday. Imagine a converted brick and wood barn, one of those places that you went to on a 4th grade school trip. Imagine John Cougar Mellencamp in a corner writing songs. Well, that's what it looks like, very casual & cozy. Now, for the wait s...
The location is in the middle of nowhere on RR620 (15 min from here), well at least it appears that way if you're going at night. Just when you think"Hey, maybe we're going the wrong way", you'll be blinded by the neon sign. Walls are bright pastels and tables and booths are like picnic tables. It ...
Okay, so far I've eaten at 2 Mexican restaurants prior to this one and one was classified as retirement home food. One had a great view and the food served it's purpose but the best I've had in Austin to this date is Ninfa's on 6th Street. Colorful interior,extensive menu and it is packed filled wi...
I never liked fajitas before i came to eat here. Their fajitas are the best! The chicken was perfect and the tortillas were fresh and so was the chips. The salsa was perfect also. The fajitas came with beans, rice, great guacamole, cheese, sour cream, and pico de gallo. If you run out of tortillas a...
The food is ok, but it lacks the true flavors. The dessert bar is great. The general tso's chicken didn't seem to have the right flavor. Maybe some sushi would do the trick? The wait staff was ok, but the waitresses sat another party at our table and we moved to another table. Overall it is perfectl...
I have eaten there a few times and the whole place is wonderful...Well worth trying
I've eaten the bbq, jambalaya, and wings and I think for the money the dining experience is great! If you want great service and great food for the price, you cannot beat the Green Mesquite.
This was truly an entertaining dining experience. My Sweetie and I waited about 15 minutes to be seated in a nearly empty dining room. We ordered the bottomless soup and salad...and it was a bottomless pit of iceberg lettuce, mushy tomatoes, and vinegary dressing. You know how the commercial makes...
This is a classic take-out place. The prices are dirt-cheap and the food is good. If you're looking for elegant chinese cuisine, this ain't the place. If you are in the mood for a large quantity of simple and good no-nonsense chinese food for under $5, you can't beat this place. In addition to t...
The food was wonderful. Expensive, but worth it. However, our waiter was arrogant, snide, and inattentive. He ruined what should have been a delightful evening. We didn't complain to management, but should have.
We've eaten at every Thai restaurant in Austin, as well as having eaten at a fair number of Thai places in San Francisco and Seattle. In terms of the tastiness of the food, Thai Kitchen knocks our socks off. The food is simply wonderful. They are known for their hot and spicy menu items, but we'v...
Tried it once - won't go back. Sushi didn't seem fresh and the prices were high. Very slow service.
Best sushi in Austin. Wonderful, fresh fish. Imaginative rolls. Excellent. The Shogun roll is a must try. Sit at the sushi bar and enjoy a nice chat with the very nice sushi chef/owner. A little far south, but well worth the drive. There is never a wait as this is a well kept secret.
Great Mexican food. Not the usual Tex-Mex. Fresh ingredients in a fun atmosphere.
I was not impressed with the location on Red River at all. My food was prepared incorrectly, the price for mexican food was outragious, it tasted bland, it was cold, and just not what I expected. The dining area I was seated in was cramped and service was slow and looked like they didn't have enou...
It was a really neat restaurant,though it's hard to find this place, but when you walk in, I thought I was somewhere in Tokyo !The have tatami there ... so you can experience how it's like sitting on your leg - if you are a female, and have your legs fall asleep on you ?! =) The overall customer ...
Mariscos Seafood is a great place for authentic Mexican seafood. They have a variety of entrees at a very reasonable price. If anyone is in that neighborhood I suggest they stop by and try a shrimp cocktail or maybe some ceviche. It is a family run business and everyone is polite!!
Opens at 11am for outstanding weekend Brunch on Sat and Sun. Dogs (leashed) are welcome on the La'Nai. Service was superb and friendly. This is a wonderful place to visit!
I loved this place. The bbq is fabulous. I had a brisket and sausage plate, and the meat was tender and well-cooked. Very delicious. Bbq lovers everywhere need to visit. They do have long waits, however. Famous for their baby-back pork ribs. The waitress was very polite and efficient, and the...
