I understand chicken pho is going to be dry and relatively flavorless unless pho ga is a…read morerestaurants specialty but this one was obvious that they either boil the hell out of it or cook it ahead, refrigerate it, then dunk it in hot broth and call it a day. The pork belly pho was unimpressive as well, the egg was hard boiled not soft boiled and the meat could use charring. We also got thai basil chicken wings and clearly they use the same batter for everything as I had a piece of shrimp fried into the batter. This grossed my fiance out and he didn't eat anymore after my shrimp discovery. I still ate them and they were okay and i liked the flavor but under the fried batter the chicken skin was gooey. The only thing saving this review was the service as our waitress was very kind and attentive and the thai tea which was a decent size and not too sweet like most other places. They may have other good dishes but stay away from the chicken & pork belly pho and chicken wings.

Excellent pho, especially the tendons which I love. The broth was okay but not great. This isnt…read more1618. Waitress was nice and attentive, however the manager greeted us with a weird and borderline rude "it's going to be a second" when the place had barely open. However the food redeemed that strange welcome, maybe a cultural thing. Ambiance is clean but the next door Midas background is the not most appealing, however this isn't very important if all you need is a comforting soup. Overall I was happy but a few things can be improved.

I frequent Swig, and normally I LOVE it. I wouldn't say they go above and beyond with customer…read moreservice, but I've never had any issues with the staff, but the product itself is great. However today I had the absolute worst interaction (it had me in tears)... There's two separate lanes, with signage "choose the shorter one". Which I did, and I ended up merging. One of the employees viewed this as wrong (though there was no ill intent behind my actions), so she initially gave me a dirty look, and proceeded to help the car in front of me, while her colleague helped me. Upon finishing ordering, and pulling up, Mallory (the employee that helped the car in front of me) felt she should say something. Making a snide remark about 'oh so you think you can just cut people off'. I found this extremely upsetting as I had no ill intent (and felt I was following the signage by picking the shorter lane), and I didn't find it her place to speak on the matter. In fact I found it extremely inappropriate to insult a customer at your own workplace. And to make matters worse her and her colleague continued to talk about it with the car behind me (as I was only a couple feet away). I honestly feel very upset, about the level of inappropriate behavior and general disregard for others, especially seeing as Swig is an establishment I normally love going too.

With everything…read morefrom craft mocktails, adaptogenic bevvys, N/A beer, and even bubbles, there is something for everyone. I love that Grace & Joe are inclusive with their selection of drinks to ensure there's drinks for any age, any background, any history or relationship with drinking, whatever, they have a welcoming presence, a beautiful location at one of the best food truck parks in Austin, and honestly, they just make my day. Sometimes, I drive past their spot just to say hello and sip on something delicious that Grace is brilliantly concocting and just enjoy the joy and community this business has brought to Austin. I love this place. Side note, Dear is a super great place to bring friends who are sober for ANY reason or those who just LIKE GOOD PEOPLE AND GOOD DRINKS :) I have brought all recent visitors of mine to try Dear and it's always a hit. So grateful this place exists.

They have two fridges full of cold singles and 10 more with 4 packs, a few shelves of warm singles and large formats, 11 pinball machines, foosball, and a nice big space to hang out and drink your beers in. You haven't been here yet? Why not?

The Brewtique is one of those places that's a bit hard to define. Is it a bottle shop? Yes, for…read moresure it is. There's a large row of coolers that run along the right side with a wide variety of styles/breweries and even NA options-and the back has a lot of European and domestic 'whales' that run high price tags but are harder to find. You can mix and match pretty much anything. Is it a bar? You could say that, any of the beers in the cooler can be consumed on-site; there's picnic tables both inside and outside and there's bar type games: pinball, foosball, darts that you can play while you hang out and drink. They don't have a kitchen but there's always a food truck right outside or you can bring your own in. I've never been for bingo or comedy nights or anything like that. I come for the brews, chill out and eat good food; it's kind of like being in someone's rec room but with way more beer. My only real knock is the corkage fee, if you're going to drink on-site they do charge $2 bucks per, which doesn't seem like much but it adds up.
