Elevate Your Cheeseburger Expectations at All Star Burger

November 6, 2014 by

What’s so special about Austin's All Star Burger? How about the fact that the burgers here are made with Premium Gold Angus beef from cows that are fed a vegetarian diet and are hormone- and antibiotic-free? Also, the list of toppings to pile your burger is inventive—and enormous.

Order the Make My Day burger and you'll receive a burger piled with cheddar cheese, a cage-free fried egg, smoked bacon, hash browns, red onion, and mayo on Texas Toast. The Pacific Coast features avocado, red leaf lettuce, sprouts, and creamy mustard. Not a fan of beef? No problem! Just order the Farmer and you get a veggie patty, feta cheese, sprouts, red onion, and sundried tomato pesto. Tasty salads, hand-dipped shakes, beer, and wine are also on the menu.

All Star Burger is open every day.

South Congress Cafe: An Upscale Brunch Spot With National Recognition

October 2, 2014 by

The folks behind South Congress Cafe were inspired by Austin’s growing artist community and its new generation of foodies, and in 2003 they set out to open a restaurant that reflects that creative culture. The restaurant itself is housed in a former 1940s drugstore, and it maintains much of the original charm. The exposed brick bar is one of the main focal points, but the rest of the restaurant is colorful and modern.

South Congress Cafe is best known for its delicious brunch, and its bloody Mary was voted one of the best in America by the Huffington Post! Brunch is served daily and includes unique dishes like jalapeno venison meatloaf, carrot cake French toast, and gumbo with duck and oysters. With a stylish, mid-century aesthetic and a menu full of creative Texan dishes, South Congress Cafe is a truly out-of-the-ordinary eatery.

South Congress Cafe is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. weekends.

Enjoy Upscale, Authentic Cajun Fare at Gumbo’s Steak and Seafood

May 22, 2014 by

New Orleans is eight hours away. Maybe you’ve been there, maybe not. If there are Cajuns in the audience, we apologize, but a quick primer for the uninitiated: Hurricanes get you a little (ahem) tipsy, “rat toes” are fried jalapenos stuffed with seafood, and gator tail is exactly what it sounds like. Got that?

Gumbo’s brings you upscale Cajun fare in the style of New Orleans legends like Antoine’s or Galatoire’s. All the classics are here: fried crawfish tails, blackened fish, remoulade, etouffee, oysters, fried green tomatoes, and a lobster bisque that puts Easterners to shame. It’s pricey — dinner entrees average $25 — but most locals love it and it beats the long drive. Lunch, brunch, and dinner are available.

Check Gumbo’s website for hours, events, and specials.

Iron Cactus: An Austin Classic at the Hill Country Galleria

May 1, 2014 by

A branch of the popular restaurant on Austin’s Sixth Street, Iron Cactus brings authentic Mexican cuisine to the Hill Country Galleria. There are few sit-down dining options at the mall, so it’s a welcome stop for hungry diners who want to fill up on traditional Tex-Mex favorites and let off steam at the tequila bar. There are over three-dozen varieties on the menu and they make for big, strong, memorable margaritas.

Cocktails get the most praise, but regulars call the food decent and the Sunday brunch (10 a.m. to 3 p.m., $14.99 for adults, $8.99 kids 5-12) a tasty, affordable treat in an area with few options.

Visit the Iron Cactus website for hours, menus, specials, and more information!
