Enjoy One of the Best Burgers in the City at Lebowski’s Grill!

September 28, 2015 by

Make your way through Highland Lanes (after a bowling game or two, or not) and feast on diner classics and burgers.

Lebowski’s Grill never loses its charm and always continues to provide the people of Austin (and Folio) with delicious meals and specifically, burgers. The menu consists of favorites like crispy chicken sandwiches, bacon cheeseburgers, chili cheese fries, fried shrimp and tater tots, patty melts, jalapeno poppers, pulled pork tacos, chili cheeseburgers and more.

Perhaps, though, the most popular plate on the menu is the Dude Burger, which is a nod to the film The Big Lebowski and Jeff Bridge's character, "The Dude." It's a burger with onions, lettuce, mayo, mustard, and tomato.

And since burgers go so well with beer, the restaurant promises a full bar of beer, cocktails, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. Lebowski’s is open daily for lunch and dinner and is a go-to spot for anyone looking for a delicious burger!

Daito: A New Japanese Restaurant near Folio in Austin

March 13, 2015 by

Daito's a relatively new addition to Austin's dining scene, having opened just a few months back in a spot not too far from Folio. This Japanese restaurant, however, has already earned a number of positive reviews from both diners and local publications. One of the big draws here is the menu of Udon noodles. They're house-made here, served either cold or hot. Some of the heartiest varieties feature chicken, pork, or shrimp, but you could also try the vegetarian-friendly Cha-Soba-Salad with tomatoes, asparagus, daikon, and carrots.

Sushi's prominent on the menu, too, with rolls featuring salmon, tuna, shrimp, squid, eel, egg, and pickled mackarel to delight those who love sushi. You can also order vegetable or seafood tempura, and Daito's long list of wine and sake includes many great complements to the rest of your meal.
