You know this place was ok but I noticed something in my tea that I wasn't sure about. Now I…read morealready had paid and was about to leave when I noticed it and the waitress said, "oh, I'm sorry about that." And that's it no compensation or nothing. Just a "oh, I'm sorry about that". Well that was a few days ago and not sick so it may not have been nothing to worry about. Not sure if it came out of the ice machine or the tea dispenser but check your drinks folks.

I walked into CJ's, looked around and left without ordering…read more That is not good. * * * I came into CJ's planning on sitting at the bar, Having a burger and a drink or three, Watching a baseball game and enjoying life. It was the Fourth of July and mid-afternoon to boot - So they weren't as fully set up as they would be on a normal day. * * * CJ's is the food and drink operation of Mel's Bowling Alley. As a Bowling Alley, Mel's looks like it is first rate. The bowling alleys in Austin are fairly lame. This place had a million alleys, a large arcade, and some of the psychedelic ultraviolet-lit alleys that make modern bowling more interesting. As a place to throw strikes, spares and gutter balls, Mel's looks pretty good. * * * However the high quality of the bowling operation does not extend to the food operation. They have two primary bars/eating areas. It being the Fourth of July on "odd hours", one of the rooms was semi-closed. The room where they actually were serving customers was pretty gross. I went to sit at the bar, The bar at literally every single stool was filthy. There were old dishes that obviously had been sitting there for quite some time. Where there were no dishes, the bar was greasy with leftover food and spills. The tables were a little better but not by much. The bartender really didn't seem to care. She was chatting with a staffer. After the staffer left, she was just hanging out. * * * If a food establishment can not be counted on to clean the public areas, How can you be sure the kitchen is not filthy as well? I was out of there, to do my eating and drinking elsewhere. * * * If you go to Mel's to bowl, Check out the food areas before you order any food from your bowling lane. If they are as dirty then as they were on the day I visited, Finish your bowling and go to a more reliable place for your snacks.

Music was cover charge worthy and from what I heard from other patrons and staff, they also loved the music. Food was ok. Drinks and service were fantastic. Seating and parking were perfect and restrooms were clean.

It was a very warm afternoon, and I chose this over a more intimate venue because it offered a lively, comfortable setting. It turned out to be the perfect choice. I ordered the loaded fries and a pepperoni pizza. The pizza had a nicely roasted crust with excellent flavor, and everything was absolutely delicious. What really elevated the experience was the staff - they were genuinely friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. A stout and another pepperoni pizza will be at the top of my order.

Solid spot for pizza and wings…read more The slices are pricy but they are massive! Mine was almost the same size as a 10" pizza. The Thai chili wings were a good amount of spice for my tolerance. The green goddess slice was spicy but doable!!! I wish it had come with the regular sauce (pesto) but they only do tomato sauce on the slices. The north beach was the weakest of the bunch.

Went there for Saturday brunch. We had a reservation, but it didn't seem necessary (they thought…read moreso, too, I got an email halfway through brunch that the reservation was canceled). The waitstaff were all very kind and attentive. The food felt very overpriced for what we received. The brunch fruit bowl I received consisted of four thin slices of strawberry (not even one strawberry), two pineapple chunks and no more than 15 blueberries. The ham and eggs Benedict was borderline flavorless and the egg white was cold and runny. I love a good poached egg, but it was more liquid than poached. The tequila sunrise was musky and the flavor of the tequila overwhelmed the rest of the drink. I really wanted to like this place! However, I spent $35 on a pretty pitiful brunch meal. The restaurant seating area and decor were all nice. The bathroom had no music and is small and cramped (you can't get paper towels without either blocking the door or a stall). The people were kind and attentive enough that I probably would try it again? Maybe Sunday brunch or a different meal entirely.

The food and service are great. It can get very busy but the staff handles it well…read more My issue is that when we came for lunch today, my wife's eyes started watering. Looking around I looked at the ac vents on the ceiling that were caked with dirt also the ceiling fans were extremely dirty. They should be cleaned and filters changed. Those conditions can make people sick! I don't how the well clean the other operations are, Kitchen, bar etc. I think it's time for a total cleaning and then the restaurant would insure a healthier place to eat and meet.

Ordered the Grumpy Old Fashioned and another drink. But the old fashioned had me blown away. Forget…read morethe other drink... If that's what grumpy tastes like, sign me up. Rich. Smooth. That hint of chocolate bitterness sneaking in like it has secrets it's not ready to share. Strong, confident, and completely unbothered -- the kind of drink that doesn't raise its voice because it doesn't have to. No unnecessary frills. No overcomplicated theatrics. Just a perfectly crafted cocktail that respects tradition but adds a little dark, sultry wink. It lingers just long enough to make you lean in for another sip. 10/10. Grumpy never tasted so good -- and I wouldn't mind getting into trouble with it again. The bar itself? Classy without being stuffy. The kind of place where you can show up dressed up or dressed down and still feel like you belong. Dim lighting, great vibe, zero pretension. I'll absolutely be back, service was stellar. No food items this time, but definitely will be back!
