Perla's
Torchy's Tacos
Salt Lick BBQ
Iron Cactus
Guero's(margaritas)
Franklin BBQ
Mueller's BBQ

I've eaten at all these places except Guero's and can vouch for them. Don't be eating pork in Texas either. It's beef country.

I've heard great things about Barley Swine but didn't get to try it while I was there. I tried a good bit of trailers and really liked Torchy's Tacos and G'Raj Mahal

Frank - artisan sausages and links. They usually have odd stuff like Antelope and rabbit. Bacon bloody mary's are legit as is their bacon infused Makers Mark.

Jackalope - best burger in downtown Austin. It's a total dive so be sure to wash down that burger with a Lone Star or 4.

Pot brownies?


In all seriousness, Franklin's BBQ was excellent. We also hit up a nicer restaurant last trip called Parkside I believe. Great stuff.

Eat breakfast at Gourdough's every day. Donuts made fresh per order. One donut will do you.....one per day.

Torchy's Tacos.
Get the brush fire and the crossroad for lunch/dinner. If you want a breakfast taco, get the ranch hand.

Another favorite is North By Northwest. Their Cedar Plank Salmon is all I order there.

Hopdoddy Burger Bar.

Probably the 2nd best burger joint I've been to in my life. Their burgers, fries, and sodas are organic. Heck, even the ketchup is organic. Also try the chipotle ketchup. It's addicting. You can even drink a beer while you're in line waiting to order.

Get there early because the lines are atrocious. For lunch, I would get there by 11 and for dinner 5:30.

BTW, they don't do to go orders.
