Austin’s dining scene saw several changes in August, including the reopening of Picnik with a new format, the arrival of Shug’s Bagels near Pease Park and a second Austin location for Local Foods.

But the month also brought some notable closures, including Brotherton’s Black Iron Barbecue, Paco’s Tacos, Lammes Candies’ Airport Boulevard flagship and Satellite ATX.

Hi! It’s my 20th birthday in a couple weeks and I really wanna go somewhere for a not crazy expensive but still a good one.

I’m balling on a budget, the limit of what I’m willing to spend is $35 dollars but if we can lower that’d be great. I live in the Highland area. Would willing to stay within also a 20 minute drive of the area-

Any help is appreciated.

(I also have a peanut allergy- I had to cut Texas Roadhouse after being told that it’s swimming in the dust of it )

I'rewatching the original king of the hill series and the episode "Peggy Horror Picture Show" where she befriends a very nice drag queen. They go to lunch and Peggy eats a chicken curry sandwich, I looked it up and it sounds delicious! Is there anywhere in town that has one to try?

Also was the magic pan a nod to a a real restaurant or made up for the show?

is there such a thing in atx ? She’s said she had one before but she can’t remember the name.

please help before she gets mean lol

I am looking for a 2nd generation restaurant 1,500 - 4,000 sf space in the Austin area for lease. Would rather deal with a leasing agent/broker than going around town myself. Let me know what you have available!

Are there any active Cookbook Clubs/ Supper Clubs in Austin geared towards all ages or 30s plus? I’ve googled and seen some, but they don’t seem active or are geared toward a younger crowd

This pregnant lady is craving churros, I specifically want an authentic churro from a Churrería. The one I really want is back in Houston but alas that is too far. So any real churrería recommendations with chocolate. Thank you in advance.

Where can I find a solid steak in Austin for a price that is almost too good to be true? Seriously. Whether it's a ribeye at a Tex-Mex spot, or a strip on a Monday night at an ice house steak promo, I know that there has to be one somewhere.

I love El Dorado but the chips are lacking for me - what are some good places to get actual house-made chips?

So far I've got:

Golden Horn

Taco Flats

Taquero Muncho

The location is 2600 E Caesar Chavez St

family is coming into town this weekend, are lines still terrible? we don't mind waiting 30-45 minutes but wasn't sure if it was still crazy, aiming to go either saturday or sunday for lunch

What is your pick for restaurant/bars that smell like ass?

Recommendations for an upscale date night? We have done Jeffrey’s and loved it but looking for something maybe not so pricey and fine dining-ish for this.

Tavern style

Double pepperoni, jalapenos + hot honey

$32 after tax and tip

Pretty damn good. My favorite in town

Hi I'm looking for live blue crabs that are reasonably priced. In Houston, I saw as low as 2.99lb for live blue crabs at many of the asian supermarkets. Is there any places that sell them for under $5?? I know fiesta($7.99lb) and asian supermarkets here have them but haven't compared the prices. Thanks!!

they reposted an instagram story that mentioned today being their last day open. no other posts or information that I could find. anyone have any insight?

It was originally called Dublin Dr. Pepper. Then, following lawsuits, it was renamed to Red cola, and something other than that. Now, it is currently called Dublin Founder's Cola. I am looking for a place that sells individual bottles, or possibly 6 packs, Ideally in the Northwest area. My local specs has some dublin sodas, but not the flavor I am looking for.

Does anyone have any insight as to where I can make this purchase?

TLDR:

Dublin Founder's Cola, does anyone know where I can buy it in North or Northwest Austin?

Hopefully this verbose typeup will let me post here.

It's definitely worth the line. Might be the best tacos I ever had outside of Mexico.

Coming from LA, the land of legendary street tacos, these were right up there and might even take the crown. Love how they dress each taco with a healthy dose of onions and cilantro as the chef confidently and unapologetically knows what he's doing.

Haven't tasted anything this good since visiting CDMX.

...but hey if you know a better spot let me know.

It’s been a few years since we last went. The food quality has definitely dropped, service was lackluster, and management supposedly mistreated staff. Has anything changed in the last three years or so?

What are your favorite places that do both excellent coffee and good or great baked goods?

Does anyone have any info on Nanami Sushi on Brodie changing ownership or something? Just went to order online and it took me to a new online ordering with new menu options and many items removed. Also has the restaurant Yangtze Wok Hei listed on the ordering as well as at the same restaurant same address on google. All the items I loved are gone, I’m devastated 😭

…just west of Mopac a couple of blocks. Back before it was Omelettry West and Magnolia Cafe. It was there until ‘79. I was at Austin High and we’d go there for lunch sometimes. Anyone remember the name?
