Austin Eateries?

Im an out of towner, but my favorites are Rudy's BBQ, Maudies, Chuys, Trudies, definitely Guerros and one must hit up Magnolia Cafe and Kerbey Lane late night...I prefer Magnolia

Thanks alot, I have been eating a whole lot of whole foods, and I tried wahoo's fish tacos and thought it was great

First off, when it comes to Austin, you need to learn that some places have mediocre food, but get great reviews from the masses b/c it's "austinish". I've lived here all of my life, and I know where to go and not go.

BBQ:Hard to find in Austin, I suggest City Market in Luling, and Smitty's in Lockhart. In the city, I like House Park BBQ and Rudy's. Don't go to Ruby's even though it has a brick pit. It's employees are all nasty college students who know shite about cleanliness.

Breakfast: Chez Zee, Moonshine, and La Cocina de Consuelo are my favorites. Kerbey and Magnolia are highly over rated and have very dirty kitchens.

American: Monument Cafe in Georgetown is my favorite. It reminds me of a typical Texas-Style Cafe.

Steakhouse: Perry's Steakhouse, Finn & Porter, and Fogo de Chao are the tops.

Tex-Mex: Chuy's is Austin-Style Tex-Mex and is good. My favorite cheap little tex-mex is Tamale House #3, and Enchiladas y Mas. For a taqueria I suggest going to a mexican owned taco stand. These are all over austin and here is a website to find 'em. LINK
Also, the brand new Antonios on 183(also called Research) is real good. It just opened and still has a few kinks.

Burgers: When it comes to burgers you have to ask yourself: "do I want old-school or a newer gourmet style?" For old school it's Top-Notch, Dirty Martin's, Wally's and Jalapeno Joe's. Get it classic Texas style with Mustard, Pickles, Onions, Cheese, and Lettuce. For a bigger gourmet go to Riata Bar&Grill, Phil's Ice House and Z'Tejas( Hickory Burger!)

Mexican: Fonda San Miquel, Manuels are good choices.

Thai: go to Thai Kitchen and Pad Thai.

Southern: go outside of the city. Threadgill's has been ruined by their shitty policy of making all of the food from a commissary. Hoover's is decent.

Texas influence: Moonshine, Ranch 616, Mesa Ranch are good choices.

Indian: Clay Pit, and Bombay Bistro. Good and you probably won't get sick.

Mediterranean: Phoenician Bakery, Tom's Tabooley, and Phara

Trailers: a new trend that is sweeping Austin. Lucky J's Chicken and Waffles, The Mighty Cone, Flip Happy Crepes, The Best Wurst, Torchy's Tacos, Giovanni Pizza Stand, Little Sub Trailer, and Hat Creek Burger Co. for starters.

Ice Cream: Amy's....that's it.

Pizza: Homeslice, Saccone's, and Salvation

Also, for a nice patio experience, just go somewhere witha patio and try it out. It's up to your tastes. I like Shady Grove's patio a lot.

I like to visit this LINK for ideas.

I am staying at the 360, It's on the corner of 3rd and Nueces.

We went and ate at the Oasis last night. The food was alright, but the view was amazing

Parkside

Girlfriend and I are eating at a place called Hudson's on the Bend tonight. Anyone ever been there? Any suggestions?

the Hula Hut BBQ tacos and fish tacos are excellent and it has a great atmosphere

Homeslice.... great pizza. I eat there everytime I'm in Austin.
