ATOT Austin, TX peeps?

I've noticed a few who list their location as either, plus a San Marcos guy too. Over the years some listed or posted as from Austin while in school but then moved away.

Yeah alot of the UT people move away, most don't want to thought. Can't blame them, Austin is a great city imo
 
I'm on the outskirts of the dfw area. Folks here tend to think of themselves as the better part of TX. I'd have to agree with em. :biggrin:
 
^ there's this Ethiopian place that's under a the express way, quite a experience ^

I also like the duck and dog.

Do you have any preference?

There are good, local, non-chain restaurants along South Congress, South Lamar and South First. That is sort of the heart of Austin.

Polvo's is by far a favorite of mine. It is interior mexican food, as opposed to the Tex-Mex you will find most everywhere. The beef fajitas are out of this world and they make strong drinks. El Chile is right up there too, but it is more classy and doesn't have the same vibe.

If you are going to eat after 10PM, go to Magnolia Cafe on Congress. The one on Lake Austin Blvd sucks so avoid that one. You get to see every sort of Austinite under the sun at Magnolia, the food is plentiful and the atmosphere is pure Austin.

If the weather isn't too hot for you, or there is a mild evening, go try out Shady Grove but make sure you sit outside under the tree. Food isn't great but the environment is.

Best pizza is hands down Home Slice. Beware the wait for a table can get crazy (two hours at peak times) but you can always order to go next door or just grab a slice or two.

Chuy's (Tex-Mex) is worth trying, but they have expanded considerably and have lost some of that unique luster as a result. The one on Barton Springs Rd is the best location.

Just stopped at a food truck called Adoo's bbq for some bbq. Wow the guy running it, Adam, was the nicest guy I've met in a long time. Got a pound of brisket for like 10 bucks and he threw in an extra pound of pork. Then gave me a ton of advice on Austin and even offered to give me a tour. The food was great. Recommend checking it out. It was on Barton springs road.
