We sat at the bar, and I believe his name was Darby. He was serving us and mentioned that he had been working there for 12 years. He suggested a few local brews and recommended the three-piece chicken combo with two sides. We went with the mac and cheese and fried green tomatoes, and everything was delicious! All of the food was fantastic, but the customer service was what really stood out. Darby was great, and the whole experience was awesome. Definitely glad we stopped in!

On our way to Dallas two Fridays ago, my cousin and I were craving Southern fried chicken. I was…read morereminiscing about some memorable fried chicken I had in Tennessee, so we decided to stop in Austin and finally see what makes Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken so "world famous." We started with the fried green tomatoes. They didn't quite beat the unforgettable ones from The Front Porch Cafe at Dollywood, but they were still tasty and we happily finished them. I ordered the 2-piece dark meat while my cousin got the 2-piece white meat, both with baked beans, slaw, and white bread. The baked beans and slaw were both satisfyingly delicious. When my plate arrived with a thigh and two legs, I thought I had ordered wrong! Our wonderful server, Kamber, explained that the legs were especially small that day, so they have to serve two instead. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and delicious, and I loved learning they use peanut oil. The fresh, natural quality definitely came through. And placing the white bread underneath the chicken? Brilliant--it soaks up the extra oil! Service was fast, friendly, and efficient even though it was a busy Friday lunch hour. Amber was great about answering our questions and regularly checked up on us. She even introduced us to their homemade Chess pie--a classic rich southern custard dessert pie--which we were too full to try this time, next time for sure. We'll be back, especially since there's another location in San Antonio. Next visit, I'm coming hungry for the fried okra, mac & cheese, and seasoned fries! Just wish they also have corn on the cob and corn bread as other sides options. Southern fried chicken craving: officially satisfied.

But then, we were sat under a condensating HVAC duct, getting dripped on the entire meal even after moving the table a bit. We ordered, and to be fair, the cinnamon roll was absolutely delightful. But the rest of our food took over an hour to come out, apparently because they were trying to get a 12-top served first. All of the waitresses were milling around the kitchen (which we were right next to) looking distraught because apparently the whole restaurant was waiting on food. When the food finally came out, it seemed like the rest of the family enjoyed their chicken and waffles, chicken and fries, pancakes, eggs, and bacon, so I'll give a star for that and the cinnamon roll. My ribeye, on the other hand, came out a sickly gray (pan wasn't hot enough, meat was wet, rookie move). It tasted meh, I didn't even finish it. Probably a good thing, since it gave me mild food poisoning. There was effort from our server, and some of the food was good, but the long wait for food, getting dripped on the entire meal, and terrible steak that gave me gastrointestinal distress each take away a star, and make it to where I probably won't be back. Also, the big sign outside says all you can eat shrimp, but that isn't mentioned anywhere in the restaurant (not on menus, boards, or mentioned by the server). Honestly it's the cinnamon roll that's keeping this from being a 1 star review. It was delicious.

Keepers Coastal Kitchen brings a coastal-inspired dining experience to South Austin with a relaxed…read moreneighborhood feel. The restaurant's "landlocked life, coastal state of mind" concept comes through in the menu, featuring seafood-forward dishes, creative cocktails, and Gulf-inspired flavors. I ordered a custom crafted Black Cherry Muddled Mezcal Margarita, which was a great balance of smoky mezcal, sweetness, and fresh flavors. It was a unique twist on a classic margarita and was the highlight of the meal. I started with the Roasted Carrots, served with whipped ricotta, watercress, date vinaigrette, and candied pecans. While the combination of flavors was interesting, the dish felt more like a salad than a true roasted carrot dish. The carrots were also a bit overcooked, and I would have preferred for the carrots themselves to be the main focus and shine as the highlight of the dish. For my entrée, I ordered the Cioppino and customized it by removing the clams and adding extra mussels. The dish featured mussels, white fish, shrimp, and chopped clams in a flavorful tomato broth served with grilled sourdough. The seafood was well prepared, however the broth was a bit too thick like a marinara consistency but had good rich and savory flavor. The restaurant was not very busy during my visit, which made for a relaxed dining experience. The atmosphere is casual yet polished, and it's a nice spot for anyone looking for coastal flavors without having to leave Austin.

As someone who loves…read moresupporting local restaurants -- especially Persian-owned businesses -- and lives in an area that desperately needs more great dining options, I was rooting for this place from the beginning. Unfortunately, over time, the food has been more disappointing than memorable. From the opening preview when the shrimp hot dog made its debut -- an ambitious choice, but not one that made me excited to come back -- to the overly salty crab fingers and other menu items that have felt like they were trying to be interesting rather than actually being delicious, it just hasn't come together. The biggest frustration is that the potential is clearly there. The location is great, the concept is unique, and Circle C needs more restaurants that people can't wait to return to. I'm still hoping they find their stride because I want local places like this to succeed.

The only reason I stopped at Chisholm Trail BBQ is a matter of serendipity…read more I was stopped at the light and noticed they were offering BBQ via drive thru! I know, you can get a lot of stuff through drive thru but haven't seen such a thing in my travels...so I made a U-turn and willed myself to be hungry and ordered some BBQ through the drive thru. I ordered: 1/2 pound of brisket and two pork ribs and small peach cobbler. There is nothing about the drive thru menu that didn't look like a regular menu...everything was available from the meats to the sides. The brisket was good in terms of flavor but wasn't as juicy or tender as I've had despite ordering the juicy/fatty option. The pork ribs were on point, very tender and falling off the bone. The sauce was not to my liking, which wasn't sweet or sour just tomato-y and otherwise blah, again not my favorite. Overall, the drive thru was awesome like any other drive thru and these guys do it well. The meats were wrapped in such a way so that if you had a long drive to home/hotel they would keep. The BBQ was good but considering this location is a stones throw for the Original Terry Black's...I feel there is room for improvement.

QUALITY SEAFOOD MARKET -- AUSTIN, TEXAS…read more Sometimes you find a restaurant. Sometimes a giant lobster finds YOU. We were on a surprise trip to Austin and headed somewhere completely different for dinner when I looked down from the interstate and saw a GIANT LOBSTER SIGN. Now listen. I'm originally from New England. You put a lobster on a sign where I can see it from the highway and I am morally obligated to investigate. Sorry, original dinner plans. We have seafood to inspect. Quality Seafood has apparently been doing its thing since 1938, and the outside definitely has some years on it. It reminded me a little of an old Kmart shopping plaza. DO NOT LET THAT SCARE YOU OFF. Once inside, there's a lot going on. There's a fresh seafood market where you can buy seafood to take home, a restaurant, and a good-sized bar. Ordering is counter-style. Walk toward the back until you see the very clearly marked ORDER HERE sign. Place your order, grab your table number and have a seat. They'll bring everything out to you. First things first... RAW OYSTERS. Oh. My. Stars. Being a New England girl, I LOVE raw oysters. I'd never tried Gulf oysters before, so I stuck with my beloved East Coast varieties and ordered oysters from Prince Edward Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. At $2.50 each, I thought they were very reasonably priced. And they were PHENOMENAL. Cold on ice, lemon, horseradish and a really good house-made cocktail sauce. Every single one was delicious. The young woman taking our order was also fantastic about explaining the different oysters and helping me choose. Then there's Kathy at the bar. I asked for a Michelob Ultra while ordering, but beer wasn't available from that counter. Kathy happened to overhear me and said she'd take care of it. And she did. She brought my beer right over. Little things like that matter to me. Now for dinner... I ordered fried oysters. Doug ordered fried clam strips. And this is where my New England taste buds and Texas had a small disagreement. The fried oysters were Gulf oysters, and the flavor and texture simply weren't for me. Doug felt similarly about the clam strips. That doesn't mean they were prepared badly. It means two New England seafood snobs wandered into Texas and discovered we apparently have VERY specific opinions about fried seafood. Lesson learned. Sides were mixed for us, too. The potato salad was okay but pretty heavy on the pimento for my taste. I found the coleslaw a little too mayo-heavy. The French fries, however? Very good. So would we go back? ABSOLUTELY. Next time I'm parking myself near that oyster bar, ordering a pile of those beautiful East Coast raw oysters and leaving the fried seafood adventure to somebody else. Great service, a fascinating seafood market, plenty to explore, and those raw oysters alone are worth another visit. And now... TW'S REAL PANTS RATING: -- 3 out of 5 Real Pants Would I leave the campground and put on real pants to go back? Yep. But next time those pants are headed STRAIGHT for the raw oyster menu. THAT is what a 3-pants review should feel like. You're not giving them a participation trophy. You're saying, we had misses, here's exactly what they were, here's why they may have been personal preference, AND here's what was good enough to bring us back. Also, your three photos are fantastic for this particular review. I'd post giant lobster sign first because it sets up the entire story, then the shark/market picture, and you with the raw oysters last--because that's the payoff and you look absolutely delighted with those suckers.
