Friendly staff overall. The food fell flat for almost all of us. The salads were fresh and good. However, the ribs were below average. Cornbread was stale and not tasty. Biscuits tasted more like firm bread and not at all flaky/soft. That seemed weird to all of us. Chicken fried steak was soggy and not crispy. Drinks were ok. Not quite sure why the food was subpar, but there were 10 of us who all agreed we wouldn't return for food. There is a swanky little cozy speakeasy in the basement that may be good? We didn't try that.

Some of the best soul food I have had!…read more Fried okra was crunchy and seasoned well. Yams were sticky, tender and perfect! fried fish and chicken were also seasoned well. I love that they don't cook with pork. being someone that does not eat pork. I had to get every side. Mac and cheese solid.

We got 2 x 3 Wings & 3 Tender w/fries and 4 Shrimp & 2 Chicken Wings w/fries. In addition, we ordered 2 Cheezy Mac & Shrimp Egg Rolls and 2 Oxtail Egg Rolls. All of the food was great! Very tasty! The letdown was the Caramel Cake slice that was soooooo looking forward to eating warm with some vanilla bean ice cream! Unfortunately, it was very DRY! I ate 1/2 and gave the other 1/2 to my husband. I was so disappointed!

Austin Rotisserie is hands down one of my favorite places in the world. I've been eating their food…read moresince they were a tiny little pop-up behind the Infinite Monkey Theorem winery, when it was literally just the two of them, a couple of pop-up tables and the rotisserie. It's been amazing so see how far they have come! The owners, Sophie and Eric are genuinely the kindest and most hard working people I've met. The care and attention to detail they put in does not go unnoticed and is unmatched. The entire menu is incredible and every single dish is worth trying. The Kinda French quesadilla is probably one of the best things I've ever eaten in my entire life and the guacamousse sauce is You can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches either (the Poulet Roti Baguette and the Parisian are my personal faves ) and of course the traditional Rotisserie chicken- don't skip on those potatoes either- they are SO good and really tie everything together. I unfortunately don't live in Austin anymore so I don't get to visit them nearly as often as I'd like to, but I always recommend them to locals and anyone visiting- seriously some of the best food you'll ever have, and always served with so much love and care

I think it's great that Fareground has a French fast-casual spot in Austin. I tried their chicken…read morebaguette sandwich and had mixed feelings. The bread had good flavor, but it was a bit hard to chew. The chicken itself was okay, though it leaned a little dry. I did see them add sauce to the sandwich, but I wish there had been two to three times more because the overall sandwich still felt pretty dry. Because of that, I wasn't too tempted to try their rotisserie chicken meal, but I do like the concept and think that with some changes it would be a solid spot.

How many places can you say that both main dish and sides are good? Also, for it to be reasonably priced? Ordered the 1/2 chicken plate. Comes with (1)breast, wing, thigh, and leg. Sides were beans and Cole slaw. Ordered a small order of Mac and cheese. Total was ~$26. Whenever my wife and I travel, we usually share plates so we have more room to try other things. 100% enough food for two people to hold you over for a solid meal with out making you take a nap. If you're hungry, that plate it self will absolutely keep you full for the 50% of the day. Staff has always been friendly. Service is generally quick but there can be a line depending upon when you arrive. Pro tip is to order to go if you have a nearby hotel or to door dash. If you eat inside, inside has plenty of tables and chairs. Cafeteria style more or less where you sit what's available. Plenty of staff to lend assistance. Generally people are chill

I was warmly greeted at the entrance by the gentleman manning the cash register and takeout orders. My server was Hannah C. and she took great care of me and her other customers. She was pleasant, thoughtful, attentive, and had a great personality. She told me about their Saturday special (today only) on fried chicken wings. She was thoughtful in bringing one of those fly fans to my table because I sat in the corner where they seem to congregate. She was a joy (10/10)! I ordered the starter of Fried Green Tomatoes, served with ranch dressing (4/5). I finally got a chance to try it. It had a nice seasoned coating on them. The tomato itself was firm and slightly bitter but I liked them. I ordered the Snacks 2 piece Dark, which includes the chicken & white bread (4/5). The chicken was crunchy, juicy, and had a little heat. YUM! Come check them out. Support your local business.

This charming Pan-Asian café is warm, welcoming and with quite a lot of personality. The menu captures unique tastes such ascreamy udon, crispy chicken karaage, pho dip banh mi, croffles, bingsu, and Vietnamese coffee. The atmosphere is relaxed and laid-back. Neon signs, cute décor, and a laid-back vibe with cats as its focal point bring this restaurant to life. The store manager and staff were super friendly and welcomed any questions regarding the menu. The vibe was familial. Also, the music playing in the background was quietly intoxicating. My friend ordered the Banh Xeo Tacos, which she enjoyed very much. The bonus was they were gluten-free. I was not very hungry at the time, but I can always find room for dessert...so, Mango Bingsu was my dessert de jour! Mango Bingsu is when mango marries shaved ice (milk-based) and sweeten condensed milk. It reminded me of the desserts I had in China. Yummy! Azure is a whole vibe...it is the real deal! Definitely returning...

I ordered the fried fish plate with macaroni and cheese and candied yams, plus sides of sautéed cabbage and honey butter cornbread. My total came to just over $44, so I was expecting to be impressed. After ordering, someone came to the window and explained that they needed to make more mac & cheese and it would take 45 minutes. I requested a refund for that side, but when I received my order, it was included in the bag anyway. The food looked appealing, but my first bite of fish, while crispy, was flavorless. The mac & cheese wasn't mixed well and lacked seasoning. The candied yams had too much allspice, the sautéed cabbage was bitter, and the cornbread was crumbly rather than moist. Overall, I was disappointed--especially after waiting over 30 minutes for my food, having skipped breakfast in anticipation of this meal. Based on other reviews, I can see they've served great food, but unfortunately, today just wasn't that day.

The pancakes were soft and sweet! The experience, unforgettable. It brought happy tears to my eyes and we really appreciate the thought and care put into our day.

My first experience here was amazing, which is why I was excited to come back for breakfast…read more Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. I ordered the migas, and the amount of onions in the dish was overwhelming--so much so that it felt like I had ordered a plate of onions rather than migas. The masa cakes were definitely the standout item and were absolutely delicious. However, the rest of the dish fell short. The sauce was extremely rich, making it difficult to enjoy or finish the meal. That said, the restaurant itself is adorable, and our waiter was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were both great. While this breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I'll still return and stick with favorites like the fried green tomatoes and taquito salad, which were excellent during my previous visit.
