The Frisco
The Frisco 6801 Burnet Rd Austin, TX 78757 Every now and again, I stumble upon a real gem of a place. I’m not saying that I’m Columbus when discovering eateries, but sometimes there are places that have been around for eons and just haven’t made...
The Goodnight
The Goodnight 2700 W Anderson Ln Austin, TX 78757 It’s extremely difficult to write up The Goodnight without any reference to The Highball, considering they are both bar/lounges serving food, with bowling alleys and karaoke rooms. The main difference is, The Goodnight is still around (as...
Freedmen’s
Freedmen’s 2402 San Gabriel St Austin, TX 78705 I’m really excited about this blogpost. Because I’m really exited about this place. The buzz on Freedmen’s had been intruguing since they first announced their opening in the historic Civil War era building, complete with antique soda...

Banger’s
Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden 79 & 81 Rainey St Austin, TX 78701 It appears the ubiquitous ballpark weenie has been usurped by a more highbrow frank. Yes, gourmet sausages are oh-so-hot right now. And why shouldn’t they be? Who can complain about the growth...

Top Notch
Top Notch 7525 Burnet Rd Austin, TX 78757 Let’s talk about Top Notch. Can we? We should. Let’s start the dialogue by focusing on the retro appearance. Top Notch has been around since 1971 and is one of those gloriously preserved places that helped start...
Fran’s Hamburgers
Fran’s Hamburgers 1822 S Congress Ave Austin, TX 78704 If you’ve watched Friday Night Lights (Clear eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t lose!), you may recognise the above location. If you haven’t seen the series, then you cray-cray. Honestly, it’s spectacular television with excellent story lines, and...
