    Turkey club with sweet potato fries
    Steve O.

    The place has a very friendly, neighborly feel to it. I ordered the turkey club with the sweet potato fries and both were very good. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. This would be a great place to watch some games or meetup with friends

    Wings Half Pound

    Solid restaurant on the east side of Austin. They have a beer list with over 100 beer options that regularly rotate. For food, you can't go wrong with the chicken wings. They have tons of TVs if you are a sports fan. There's an outdoor patio and indoor seating as well.

    Nothing fancy, just easy drinking and a chill sports bar. The drinks are cheap, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it's a good spot to catch a game without any fuss. I tried one of their mystery shots and got the dirty monkey (banana peanut butter whiskey), which was surprisingly good plus a couple of margaritas, which were decent for the price.

    My first time at Haymaker and I went with colleagues. They've got a terrific happy hour and a big selection of beers and cocktails. Food is typical bar fare...on steroids! Meaning they've taken the typical fare and raised it by a crazy number of notches. Breaded/fried pretzel bites? Yes, please! Sausage balls? Yes, please. BLT is a perfect comfort food sandwich. Really chill place to hang with co-workers, friends, etc. Super attentive service.

    Haymaker has good social vibes outside and has more of a dive bar feeling inside. It is optimal for socializing with a big group. They have daily drink specials, although I didn't get a drink when we went on a Friday because I don't drink margs. Their food and drinks are definitely on the pricer side for a casual sports bar. My friends ordered the garlic parmesan wings, which they really enjoyed. I got the hay-mac and cheese, which is a small bowl topped with garlic bread crumbs. It ended up being about $10, which was pricey for such a small portion. I thought it was good but nothing to rave about. The service was friendly.

    Spinach artichoke
    George A.

    They use to have beer cheese that was SO good - GONE! They use to have homemade chips - GONE So, I ordered the spinach artichoke. I'd rather have the TGIFriday frozen one from HEB. At least that one has flavor. This dip had SO much garlic. The grainy consistency left much to be desired. Do not order this!! This place has changed a lot since I was last here. Can't say it's for the better. Service was meh. Nice girl. Atmosphere hasn't change, so that was comforting. I will think twice before coming back here.

    The service was good, especially for how busy it is. This is definitely a sports bar with many TVs on different sports. I ordered the garlic parm wings. The wing itself was nice and crispy, but there was sooo much oil that it took away from it.

    Salsa and chips

    I met my brother here before a basketball game at Moody Center. The weather was perfect for a nice lunch on their deck. Our waitress was friendly and several different crowds were enjoying sports. One group was watching the football (soccer) game and another group was inside watching American football. It's a great place for sports! I ordered a sangria which was $4 for a Sunday special. We tried the warm salsa -which was on the fall menu. At first, it had a great taste. Then you mostly tasted vinegar. I think warming it brought out too much of the vinegar taste. Maybe a bit of Mexican sour cream on top as the fat to balance the acid?? I got the French dip sandwich which was inedible. I took one bite and there was a bunch of fat. I took another bite and again...mostly fat. I took the sandwich apart to see if there was any redeeming pieces of meat but sadly, no. Even my brother noted how fatty it was. I don't know if it was just a bad cut but it was disappointing. :( I could have used more fries on my plate considering this is all I ate. My brother ordered a Reuben and his sandwich looked amazing!! (See pics) This neighborhood joint has been around for a while. The burgers have always been solid. I wish I had gone with my standby and ordered that instead. The patio is dog friendly and I made some new (dog) friends that day. :)y
