    CaJJun Swamp Grits
    Brittany D.

    Southern Food in Texas! Came to this restaurant and the menu had so many items that we wanted to try, so we got lot. We got the Gumbo, Mac and cheese, swamp grits, side salad, the palmetto, CAJJUN BOUDAIN EGG ROLLS as appetizers, and two mocktails- the NOLA NOJITO and the HURRICANE WARNING. The portion sizes were really big, the server that we had was so nice and gave us the suggestions about the egg rolls- which I appreciated, those were great. The time we came, it wasn't too packed, but it definitely was busy. The place was real chill, relax place to chill at and get some food. The only fault I had, was the seasoning- it was HIGHLY seasoned, you don't need to add anything else. I definitely drank through so water, but it was good. I'm glad it was not under-seasoned. I want to go back and try their seafood boil!

    Service: was great! The waitress that tended our table was very sweet and accommodating to our requests and offered recommendations on which dishes to try. The food came out very quickly as well! Ambiance: the music was pretty loud, but when we asked for it to be turned down, the waitress was very receptive, which was nice. After the volume was turned down, the restaurant was quite pleasant. Something that surprised me was the dress code listed on the site, but it was reasonable, considering the precedent that the restaurant wanted to uphold. Food: the food was tasty, but I will say that it was on the saltier side for my taste, but it makes sense because I got the fried shrimp and tenders plate. The Cajun pasta and Cajun macaroni were pretty good, the seafood definitely elevated the flavor and the portions were very generous. Definitely recommend the pasta!

    Saturday night eats didn't disappoint. Our server was polite, attentive and friendly. He gave us menu recommendations and made sure we were good our entire time. The food was so delicious. I really enjoyed the cajun seafood pasta.

    How are we expected to eat with cheap plasticware?! A pork chop with flimsy plastic fork and knife? Unbelievable and the reason I won't be returning. Disappointing because I really enjoyed the food, especially the chicken and french toast. The french toast is not toast, but a large beignet. Both were delicious and enough to bring me back despite the service which was pretty non existent. But I can't overlook the plasticware when everything else is glass (plates/glasses).

    Went today for the first time with the hubby today. The customer service was awesome and so was the food.

    Recently stopped in for brunch and the French toast is still on my mind!! Their French toast tastes very similar to a funnel cake or beignet and it's simply delicious. It came with fried catfish which was fried to perfection and served with a yummy rémoulade sauce. We also order the shrimp and grits which was packed with flavor and so so good! Our server was friendly and attentive when we needed her. The restaurant is very lively and fun for a night out, birthday celebration or a casual Sunday. Add this to your list if you're in the North Austin area!

    I've been here a few times and it's always been a good vibe! The energy is always high and the food is usually good, it can be on the salty side when it comes to the fried seafood, but still tasty. The drinks are good and strong, the service is consistently good and the music is always on point. I look forward to sliding through every chance I get.

    This place is absolutely awesome. My family and I came for brunch. The portions are big enough if you're hungry. Personally I had the chicken and waffles. Two perfectly and fried seasoned, crunchy chicken thighs on top of a fluffy waffle. There are so many words to describe it, but to put it simply, heavenly. The fish was too! Our server Jessica was so kind and didn't leave us without what we needed. Make sure to ask for her and leave a big tip! The place has that "hole in wall" feel to it and great music playing too!

    We came in for a friend's birthday with a party of 10. Upon entering we noticed the modern decor , a large bar area with a stage near by, a large patio and plenty of seating. Our waitress Kiera was on point, having been a server myself for 10 years I think she did an amazing job on all aspects. Drink menu had a variety of options. I had the gummy bear shot and a friend tried both of the Hennessy drinks which were all delicious! Beer options that were actually in stock k were slim when we came, and they were out of a lot of the foods we tried to order as well, so that was a bit disappointing. 3 of us shared what we ordered and we ended up with the swamp fries 4/5, salmon bites 4/5 and the friend shrimp basket 5/5. Food is a bit pricy but the serving size made up for it. The fry/ batter on the shrimp was perfect as was the flavor. I will defiantly be back to try more of the menu!

    We wanted to go on a Saturday night and it was ! We're not crowd people anymore , but people looked like they were really enjoying themselves. We do go on Sundays, and all the menu items have been delicious. To me, it's a little pricey but I'm not paying so.... The drinks are good and STRONG!

    The Oakmont has such a great vibe, and I always enjoy the atmosphere, but I do wish they had more veg-friendly options. Since I don't eat eggs or dairy, the menu can feel a bit limiting for me. I recently went for a friend's birthday and ordered a salad, which was tasty, but let's be honest--who really wants a salad for brunch? That said, the vibes are always on point, and the outdoor seating is a nice bonus. Being right off Mass Ave, it's also perfect for a little bar hopping afterward. I just hope they expand their menu to accommodate more plant-based options!

    Food was HORRIBLE!!! Everything got sent back but my Sister big ole sweet potato flavored wings. That I wouldn't dare put in my mouth!!!! I ordered the fried pork chops and they came out burnt and the breading falling off. We all ordered salads which were warm and limp. Even though our food experience wasn't good we decided to stay for the vibe. Our table ordered a hookah and happy hour drinks. Happy hour drinks were watered down. But the after happy hour the drinks were good!!!! We started enjoying ourselves and after spending over $300 on drinks they told us they needed our booth, in which no one was there! We WON'T be back!

The ambiance was a little ruined for us when we were sat right next to another table just a foot away from us. That's ok if it was crowded but there were plenty of open tables and staff. The service was good. The food came out fast. Just not quite what we like.

We ordered the grilled cheese with tomato soup, chicken and waffles, and the strawberry and cream waffle with Biscoff spread. Before I get to the food, I want to recognize the excellent customer service. Since it was my first visit, I had quite a few questions. The employee helping us was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. She walked us through all of the flight options, and let us know that everything was made fresh to order, so there would be a short wait. I appreciated the transparency, and when our food arrived I soon found out it was worth the wait. The standout for me was the grilled cheese waffle with tomato soup. The soup tasted homemade, with bright tomato flavor and generous chunks of tomato throughout. It was fresh, and absolutely delicious. The grilled cheese featured a flavorful muenster and provolone instead of the standard cheddar you find everywhere else, and the waffle itself was crispy on the outside with a perfect gooey cheese pull. My friend enjoyed the strawberry and cream waffle with Biscoff spread since I'm not a huge fan of Biscoff. I did try the strawberries and cream, though, and both were excellent. The strawberries were fresh, sweet, and firm, while the cream tasted rich and homemade. The chicken and waffles were outstanding. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and well seasoned, and the waffle had a wonderful texture: light and airy inside with a crisp exterior. It was served with syrup and a remoulade-style sauce. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully decorated with fun murals, word art and nods to Round Rock. For a first visit, Waffle Love made a fantastic impression. The next time I'm in Round Rock, I'll be ordering another waffle flight, probably the same 3 selections, just without the Biscoff spread.

    John "MF'n" Brotherton was a growing tour de force in Central Texas BBQ, holding down the northern…read moreAustin metropolitan area with Brotherton's Black Iron Barbecue. John passed away in early 2024, while his family took over the shop in Pflugerville. Now just about a decade after opening shop, Brotherton's is closing down at the end of August. Following John's passing, they've hit a few road bumps from the rising cost of beef that's been plaguing Texas BBQ. Earlier in January they posted on social media how they were struggling, and again last spring. At the start of August, the Brotherton's family announced Brotherton's Black Iron BBQ in Pflugerville was shuttering for good at the end of August. Knowing this would be the last time I would be able to try it, my buddy and I took an extended lunch break on a Friday to give it a shot. Upon arrival at just around 11:50, we noticed that the parking lot was packed with multiple food trucks and other businesses filling the shopping center. We got lucky with a parking spot far away as we marched inside to wait in line. On the door lay plenty of stickers from different BBQ joints from Texas and beyond, with even some coming from overseas. The line moved slowly but surely, and as we got to the front we got our three-meat plate with a bonus slice of turkey for good measure. We ended up getting to Brotherton's at the perfect time because we got the final slices of brisket on that glorious Friday. I'll share my thoughts on everything we tried: Brisket: Though it looked like a great cut that was nicely seasoned, it was pretty fine overall. Nothing remarkable about their brisket while still very fatty. Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage: Juicy, cheesy, not really too spicy on the jalapeño side of things, but that might just be from the mildness of jalapeños these days. Pork Ribs: These suckers looked incredible from the pictures I saw online and on social media, but they were kinda disappointing based on how incredible they looked visually. They were good, just not as epic as I was hoping. Turkey: Turkey is underrated in the BBQ scene, and this is no exception. A nice cut of meat! Cornbread Casserole: I could've eaten the whole thing myself, so it was a shame that we were sharing. Green Chili Mac and Cheese: I'll repeat myself. I could've eaten the whole thing myself, so it was a shame that we were sharing. As a whole, I'm very glad I gave them a shot before I would never be able to again. That's the hardest part about Texas barbecue. The best places and the historic spots can drop in a moment's notice when hardships hit or the meat prices skyrocket. Sadly, I can tell that they're already at the end of their rope with certain menu options like the loaded nachos and baked potatoes, which always seem like the sign of the end. And with how the food was simply just decent overall, it's hard to justify the rising prices. I see reviews all over saying their quality has fallen off year after year following JMFB's passing, and it makes sense: he was the heart and the soul of the business. When that vaporizes overnight, it's only a matter of time. I don't wish for the downfall of any spot, but I understand that it's bound to happen to certain ones.
