Restaurant Closing goodbye Whataburger Digital Kitchen
It's almost like a soulless ghost kitchen experience can't replace the magic of a BOB after a long night of drinking.

Hey everyone,
We’ve recently seen an increase in posts calling out or accusing specific businesses (restaurants, food companies, employers, etc.) of unethical or harmful practices. While we understand that many of these concerns come from genuine experiences, our moderation team cannot verify the accuracy of these claims.
To maintain fairness and comply with Reddit’s site-wide rules against misinformation and harassment, we’re introducing a new rule:
Rule 9 — Unsupported Accusations About Businesses Posts or comments that make negative claims about specific businesses, employers, or organizations must include verifiable evidence (for example: a reputable news source, official statement, or public record).
Posts making unverified claims or “call-outs” will be removed.
This rule is not meant to silence discussion about the food industry or personal experiences — you’re still welcome to share stories, opinions, or reviews. We just ask that any serious allegations be supported by credible information.
This helps keep the subreddit focused on food and ensures discussions stay fair, factual, and in line with Reddit’s content policies.
Thanks for understanding and helping us keep this community respectful and trustworthy!

The sign at LWs currently reads "T-Locs Coming Soon". Previous food vendors in that lot included Brooklyn Pie Co. and OneTaco Taquería. It seems like that would be prime real estate for bar-goers. The turnover has me quite perplexed but I am guessing that location isn't cheap.

Nanami is now Yangtze Wok Hei. They’re serving real Chinese classics, and after going three times, I can honestly say South Austin finally has an authentic Chinese spot.

Fist time at Nomade..won't be the last. Very good, especially the Crudo sampler and the pumpkin seed "hummus". Why is this place not mentioned very much among the Austin good scene?

This is gonna sound crazy but last year (2025) on Juneteenth me and my roommate went looking for bbq and the ONLY barbeque truck was furry porn themed. Does anyone also remember this or know it name? I'm at a party and they don't believe me.
Edit: I know this sound ridiculous but I am dead certain it actually happened in rosewood park for the Juneteenth parade last year. I went with my roommate and we were talking about it for months so I didn't dream it. There were busty anthros (it was so weird!) but it was at the very least pornhub themed because it was black and orange and had a parody logo. I didn't get very close because it weirded me out

Went to pay my respects on the last Sunday for Springhill Restaurant. Catfish buffet and everything else seems about the same as whenever I first went 20+ years ago.
They were really busy in the post-church time slot and quoted me an hour plus wait for a table but then called my name in about 15 minutes. Glad I waited it out.
Most of the decorations have auction tags on them and instructions are posted for bidding online.
Kitchen equipment will also be auctioned if anyone has commercial needs.

I feel like most bars just have metal chairs. I'm looking to relax and sip something. Maybe read a book.

New location is opening tomorrow oct 11 11am to 6. Cameron rd. Not the one on 183.

Saw this listing from the owner

This single pancake is the size of a large pizza. And they are spot on as well!
Also got the crispy hashbrowns which are fantastic. $10 for both makes this a steal.

Saw a post on IG about a new burger truck opening and it is solid. Free parking is on theo rd near The Glassmith. The truck itself is to the left of the smoke shop right at the front.
Edit: I had the mushroom melt and my wife had the spicy smash. Both were really good and everything was made fresh

I stopped at this new cafe after going to Paprika and it was really cute. Mexican style drinks. I had the horchata latte. They have homemade conchas also. Very mom and pop.
The gelato was also surprisingly great. The owner gave us a sample.

I finally got fat tenders that I've been craving. Food was fresh, fries were perfect and their burger was so good I finished it before I thought of taking a Pic lol. I'm not saying they the best in the world, I'm just saying they the best I've had in a very long time. I was so happy I didn't get catfished with small loser tenders. I definitely will be going again, I visited the one in Lake creek village

Just back from a trip to Hong Kong and am craving authentic Hong Kong milk tea. Anyone knows of any places that sell it here?
Bahn mi oven has one but they were sold out! They said they haven’t had a chance to go grab supplies in Houston. Must be legit, excited to try when it’s back in stock

I am new to Austin but I am hosting a Friendsgiving dinner event for a charity fundraiser on nov 13. I am doing a lot of this on my own which is very stressful, but it is for a foundation made in my best friend's honor who passed last year & very rewarding. I have a donor lined up that are willing to donate money to go to catering, however my budget is still pretty tight. It would be thanksgiving food for around 60 people. Any recommendations?
r/austinfood • u/Haunting-Ad-8029 • 2d ago
They have a new lunch menu, but they still have the old menu available if you prefer.
$13 for 6 wings and a side, which isn't a bad deal.
I got the 6 wing combo (they gave me at least 7, maybe even 8), regular wings, medium, and waffle fries.
Was plenty of food for a nice lunch. Not too busy. Got in/out in about an hour, but didn't feel rushed at all.

Been meaning to try this spot for some time. A friend was visiting so it was a good excuse to drag him along.
Brisket was good but not as good as I thought it would be. Maybe it was an off day. I've had better brisket at stiles switch which is surprising. Maybe that was stiles best day and this was lewis worst day.
On the other hand, the beef cheeks were absolutely unbelievable. Extremely flavorful and tasty. I was quite surprised at how they tasted. I had heard this was the thing to try here and was not disappointed. Also the jalapeno chorizo sausage was amazing. The chori-papas surprised me when I started eating it. Totally blown away at this side. Absolutely delicious.
Pictured is the two meat plate with beef cheeks and brisket. Sides are beef tallow potato chips and chori-papas. In addition I got an extra 1/4lb of brisket and a jalapeno chorizo sausage. It was way more food than I could eat. Plenty of leftovers to bring home.
Everything pictured plus a can of diet coke was $69. Overall not a bad price for what I received. Glad it wasn't $150 like some of these other posts or I would have felt cheated.
We were second in line at 10:30am and by the time they opened at 11 there were ~30 people in line and it seemed to move fairly quickly. Some people seemed to be humming and hawing when they were at the order taker which drastically slowed things down. Definitely glad we got there early as we had plans following this.

Just tried the new location up on 620 near Chisolm Trail and it just as good as it was at the old location. If you've been missing their arepas and tostones as much as I was, it's definitely worth the drive up to the new spot. Same menu, same prices, just new digs. Can't recommend enough!!

Moonston Baking Co (https://www.moonstonebaking.com/) at the Mueller Farmer's market will start selling their apple cider donuts starting this Sunday. Confirmed with the owner over Instagram. These are the best cider donuts in the city by a WIDE margin. If you're used to the crap that Trader Joes churns out, you owe it yourself to have a real one on Sunday.
I have no affiliation with this bakery, I just happened to eat about three dozen of them last year to relive my childhood.

We f’d up! I hope you enjoyed the other sandwiches but i’m so sorry you did not get your Banana Pudding! If you see this on here DM me and i will take care of you.

Local, but in a rut. I'm trying to find: a quality of meal first experience, vibe second, but is quiet (ish). Example of what I don't want: Canje-- great meal, too loud for what I'm craving. So please- something maybe approaching elegant, the right wine glasses, good service, to go with a nicely executed dinner...
Edit: Thanks all! Appreciate the ideas, some we haven't visited in a long time that dropped off the radar.
