    Marble 2nd Cut Brisket, and sausage Platter with Mac and cheese and potato salad
    Eddie K.

    If you want a greta view of the green belt/sunset view, you have to visit the county line. We came here for a dinner birthday celebration and caught the sunset right in time. Highly recommend sitting outside to have the unbeatable view. The bbq is pretty good, can't go wrong with the marble cut brisket and sausages. Very juicy and full of fat. I got Mac and cheese and potato salad on the side, perfect to enjoy with the meat. Service was great, friendly staff. Will return in the future.

    Ky'arssa, I think that's how you spell her name, was an amazing waitress. Even though the food took a bit to come out, she checked in and assured we had our homemade bread appetizer. Three pieces of this thick cut bread basically turned into my meal. Warning it's very filling. My grilled salmon was a bit dry... Normally, it's not and I enjoy it. As a barbecue place. So cowboy decor a plenty. I do miss the speak cowboy tape they used to play in the bathrooms. Maybe it was just down for this night?

    My extended family's favorite BBQ restaurant. It's more consistent than Rudy's. You really can't go wrong with any of County Line's meats. Their BBQ sauce is good; it falls short of great. I'm a fan of their Fried Okra and Green Beans. Not a fan of their Potato Salad (mustard recipes are better). They have very tasty bread, but you've got to be careful not to fill up on it before your meal arrives!

    Complementary Bread
    Airon A.

    I have been coming to The County Line since they had warm mint rags before your meal, they used to put cherries in your soda, they had a view with no office buildings and other homes. The view on the outdoor patio is still amazing but it has definitely evolved over the years. Located in a historic old "Speak-easy," the County Line on the Hill offers an incredible 20 mile view of the beautiful Texas Hill Country. There is plenty of parking and I have never had to wait for a table. I still start my meal with the complementary bread that comes with a bowl of butter. They also have a homemade option for additional cost. The Big Daddy Beef Rib platter is still the go-to because it can be shared. It comes with beans, potato salad and cole slaw. The barbecue sauce is plentiful. The ribs have gotten a bit drier and less meat over the years but I still enjoy them. I have other BBQ from here and you really can't go wrong. They used to have a free catering event where I got to try all of their BBQ and enjoyed the pork ribs, sausage, briscuit and chicken. The salad and okra sides are good also. The service is always friendly and helpful. Always enjoy the talking cow that drops cow jokes.

    2 meat combo

    Ka'ryssa was the absolute best! She was so incredibly sweet and helpful. She even was friends with the hilarious cow on the wall (the cow told jokes) that added a fun vibe for all ages. Would recommend.

    Amazing amazing BBQ.. the service ambience and view was amazing . We got to sit next to view that you saw the hills mountains and even a wedding reception was going on. The food was very flavorful and a little like they say everything is big in Texas lol definitely a place to go and enjoy some good BBQ

    4.5 My husband and I decided to order and pick up some County Line for dinner. He went into the restaurant, gave his name, got our food and then returned home. The service was good as they got got our order correct. This time around my husband ordered the emergency kit which came with 4 meats (turkey, brisket, sausage, and chicken). It also came with 3 sides (coleslaw, potato salad, and beans) plus it came with bread, pickles, onions, jalapenos, and bbq sauce. I ordered the brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad and okra. Plus a half loaf of their homemade bread. The brisket sandwich was delicious. I added the pickles, onions, and BBQ sauce for added flavor. It's my favorite way to eat brisket sandwiches. It was so full of meat that I couldn't eat it all. The potato salad was full of chunks of potatoes which I liked. The okra was hot with a crispy exterior. I tried my husband's beans and coleslaw and they both had a little bit of flavor. The homemade bread has always been a favorite of mine. I love how it tastes warm with some of the honey butter that they included. Overall it was a good dinner choice. The ordering and pickup process was easy and the food was good.

    I've been a fan of their original location on 2222, but this is the first time I dropped in here at this location to get the rib king combo special to go. This location very much mirrors the style and decor of their original location. It's not visible from the road at all, just a sign on 2244 to denote its location. Plenty of parking at the top of the hill, including an overflow lot. Once inside, it's like being at the original location, even the food is exactly the same as if it came from there as well. However, the view from the patio is much different since it overlooks the wide expanse of the hill country instead of a local body of water like the original location. If you like the original location, you'll like the clone. Informative photos and videos included.

    5 Meat Plate
    Amy G.

    My husband and I were given a gift card for The County Line, for our birthdays. We chose the Hill location because it still gets dark early and I expect the night view here would be better than trying to see turtles in the dark at the other location. The view and the service were the best parts. The food was very plain. We tried a little of everything, by splitting the 5 meat platter. The turkey and beef ribs were the best meats. The menu says they don't do substitutions, but the server offered it anyways. We got double turkey instead of pork ribs, for dietary reasons. I think they don't want people trying to get more beef than they paid for. I upgraded both sides, and both weren't worth the upcharge. Both the baked potato and the macaroni and cheese was overcooked and didn't taste like much. The outside of the potato didn't seem to have any seasoning which was a missed opportunity for flavor. However, they gave me a free birthday dessert, so that was a nice bonus!

    What was left of my gut busting three meat dinner. Brisket, ribs, and turkey.
    Jane O.

    The food, service, ambiance, and parking were all excellent! And that view! The three meat meal was enough for two. My Coke was served in a glass so big it must have been two liters. No waiting for refills. I couldn't even finish it. I was dining alone but had a great experience!

    First Time at this County Line location. They have such a lovely hill country view. It was a hot day so we chose to sit right by the large windows viewing out onto the patio. Beautiful! We came for one thing and that was the Big Daddy Beef Rib platter. Last time we had it the ribs were massive like dinosaur size. For some reason they were much smaller this time and the meat not as tender, but still delicious. Opted for a side of fried okra and potato salad. Fried okra is on point and the potato salad it's alright, but it's not mustard based. It was also HH at the time and we tried the sausage for $5. Such a hearty portion and the sausage is so tasty! Love their BBQ sauce. We had to ask for extra. Also don't forget to ask for bread which is only available upon request. Our server Travis was super nice and quick! Oh and also we asked if we could take some rib bones home for our dog and we were happily given a bag of bones to go! Our dog was in heaven!

    Fried pickles
    Lana K.

    We always take out of town guests here as another option for experiencing Texas BBQ just as someone did for me when I first arrived. The interior is a country home feel with antiques displayed throughout and an incredible view. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with fans. When using the restroom, be sure to listen to the useful language tips playing through the speakers. The service was great. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and our server was consistently checking in. The menu is large. We started with the fried pickles (chips, which I prefer) and homemade bread. The homemade bread comes out warm and is slightly sweet, but yummy. This beats the free one. There was a wide selection of meats, which were all good. An Austin staple.

    Two meat platter - sausage and brisket with corn and a side salad (salad was huge)
    Anita W.

    My colleagues and I came here on a Monday evening and I was a bit underwhelmed. The interior was clean and it gave an authentic vibe with great views overlooking the area. We asked our waitress for recommendations and I went with the sausage, brisket, corn on the cob, and a side salad (which was huge and a full sized salad! as a non-Texan). The brisket lacked flavor and the corn on the cob had no seasoning like salt or butter on it at all. We also ordered some wings for the table to share and they were a bit dry. Based on the great reviews we saw on Google, we were a bit underwhelmed by the flavor and didn't find that anything stood out.

My son and I both ordered the 20-ounce Koji Coffee-Crusted Cowboy Ribeye, cooked medium-rare. When I say it melts in your mouth, I mean it. The coffee crust adds the perfect amount of texture and crunch without overpowering the steak. I highly recommend it. For sides, we shared the mac and cheese and the corn crème brûlée, and both paired perfectly with our steaks. We also started with the pork chop bites, which continue to be an absolute home run. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the applesauce takes the flavor to another level. The only minor critique I have is that the bread wasn't quite as soft and warm as it usually is. But honestly, that's such a small detail in what was otherwise an outstanding meal. To finish, we had the Vanilla Orange Cheesecake and the Lemon Bar. The Lemon Bar was delicious, although I wish the center hadn't been quite so cold. The toasted marshmallow on top, however, was absolutely perfect. The Orange Cheesecake? Incredible. Total Dreamsicle vibes, and I would order it again in a heartbeat. What really made this evening unforgettable, though, was Alex. He has officially set the standard for what exceptional service looks like. Every server I have from here on out has some big shoes to fill. Perry's, if I can't have Alex next time, I hope the service is held to the same incredibly high standard because he truly made this experience special. Overall, Perry's came out swinging tonight. I can't honestly call it a perfect 10 because of a couple of tiny details, but it was absolutely a perfect 5-star experience. Thank you for an unforgettable evening and for making my son's birthday one to remember!

NOTES: - Reservations: available through OpenTable - Parking: free lot next to the building - Online ordering: available on their website through ChowNow for pickup - Happy hour: every day from 4:00 to 6:00 pm - Daily specials updated on their website THE HIGHS: - Hostess and server (Omar) were extremely welcoming and friendly - Container of water on the table so you can refill as needed - Food came out quickly after ordering - Fantastic portion sizes for the price THE LOWS: - Reservation didn't specify inside or outside and it was hot in the patio area THE PRICE: Very reasonable for the portion size and quality of food - All butter biscuits ($7.50) - Whipped cow's milk ricotta ($15.00) - Housemade pastrami sandwich ($22.00 each) - Cheese grits (menu said $8 but were charged $7) The total was $79.56 after tax ($6.06) but before tip. BEST BITES: - Pastrami sandwich (one of the BEST pastrami sandwiches I've ever had... packed with meat, bread is toasted well, and the fries are super crispy) - Biscuits (crispy outside, soft inside, and lots of layers... the molasses chili butter is sweet and melts into the biscuits) THE VERDICT: I had visited Salty Sow 4 years ago but hadn't been back just because there are SO many great places to eat in Austin. After coming back, I think Salty Sow is incredibly underrated and slept on... I already can't wait to visit again and will definitely recommend it to others!

    Went there with my wife. Oysters were good. I really enjoyed the salmon. The mustard crust was very…read moretasty and the salmon was not overcooked which is something that a lot places do. My wife got the filet and it was very good. The mushrooms were a highlight. We shared the strawberry shortcake. Adam was the sommelier. He rolled the whiskey cart to our table and we had fun reviewing the different whiskeys. After sampling several I settled on the Elmer J. Lee. Had a lot of fun with Adam. Ask for him. Only downside was that it was a pricey meal.

    J-Prime Steakhouse was such a great experience! The ambiance is beautiful and upscale, making it a…read moregreat spot for a date night, birthday dinner, or celebration with friends. I went with friends for a birthday, and they brought out a huge complimentary slice of cake for my friend, which was such a nice touch. For my drink, I had the Golden Pop Martini, which came with caramel popcorn. It was definitely on the sweeter side, so if you love caramel, you'll probably love this one. For food, we tried a little bit of everything, including the crab cake, grilled lollipop lamb chops, prime tacos, truffle mac and cheese, crab fried rice, seafood pasta, and the loaded JP creamy potato. We also got fried Oreos. Everything tasted really good, and there wasn't anything we ordered that I wouldn't recommend. Service was great throughout the evening, and the overall atmosphere made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back again!

Our waiter knew how to work the menu based on our recommendations. The ambiance is always strong at Red Ash. Tall ceilings, big beautiful wine selection and wrap up booths that are decorated well.

    We had a dinner reservation and were seated right away. I'd recommend making one since the place…read morewas busy and didn't look like they could easily accommodate walk ins. Red Snapper Crudo ($21): It was alright but not worth it. I wasn't sure all the ingredients worked together. Bone Marrow With Mushroom Risotto ($42): A huge entree that's enough for two people. Came with two large bone marrow and a delicious but very heavy mushroom risotto. I'm used to mushroom risotto in a white creamy base but this one was red, buttery, and cheesy. It was incredible but I wouldn't recommend it if you're on a date or watching what you eat. I was very bloated and felt heavy afterwards so save it for your cheat meal days. It was too much to finish in one sitting anyway so I got to enjoy it again for lunch the next day. Wood Grilled Octopus ($19): My friend ordered this and I tried a piece. The octopus was a bit overcooked. 10 Oz Beef Filet With Fresh Blue Crab Fonduta ($72): My husband and friend both loved the blue crab fonduta which had a strong blue crab flavor. The beef filet was nicely cooked but lacked flavor and the slice was cut a bit too thick for my taste. I'm assuming they keep it on the blander side so it doesn't compete with the fonduta but I would have liked a little more salt.

I absolutely love Murray's and keep coming back, whether I'm…read morestopping in alone for a martini, having a date night with my husband, or meeting up with a group of friends. There's usually something on the menu for everyone, which makes it such an easy choice for almost any occasion. Their happy hour is one of my favourites in Austin. The mini martinis are served on a martini tree, which makes the experience especially fun, and they also make an excellent dirty martini--perfectly ice cold and well balanced. The beef tartare is another standout and easily one of the best in town. It's always topped with an impressively large egg yolk, which I love. Murray's is an easy recommendation for anyone in East Austin looking for a relaxed, lively atmosphere and a satisfying meal.

I realized I don't like martinis but I'm assuming there's as well-made. It also came with some free oysters because it was oyster day. We got the fish and chips and I was pretty disappointed by the fish. Even though the batter was tasty, the fish inside was pretty meager. The green beans are surprisingly tasty. We watched a couple World Cup games there and it was a nice environment for that. They also have ample patio space. Service is pretty fast too. Overall a fun place to get a beer and hang.
