Austin: ACL & Eating

Delicious, clean broth. Small space, but cozy.

[ Google Review ] A beautiful museum, though small, shows off a wonderful variety of pieces. From American to European, to Latin America and more, the art on display are delightfully thought provoking some even being interactive. The gift shop/cafe was also very nice. I recommend if you have time, or are showing a friend around who enjoys art museums to give this one a shot. It's very clean, organized, and the staff are polite. It's a very pleasant experience overall.

[ Google Review ] I've been sitting here trying to decide whether the cocktails or the food were the highlight of the evening, and that pretty much sums the place up. Excellent food, and equally excellent(and unique) cocktails. Rotating menu with farm to table options - every item on their menu shows where it was sourced. Fast and friendly service with complimentary valet. Cannot go wrong with this place. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

[ Google Review ] Mattie's is my favorite place in Austin for a wedding. It has the perfect mix of classic elegance and Texas charm. The garden areas are gorgeous and the building is beautiful and newly updated. It has so much character but also plenty of room for customization and making it your own. It also goes without saying that the food is amazing! Best food I've has at a wedding without doubt!

[ Google Review ] What happens when a Asian restaurant and steakhouse have a love child? Loro is what happens. Interesting "self-service" kind of set up -- you order at the bar, and then they bring the food. Service was excellent, and the food was unique. I had salmon over rice with some Asian cabbage and other vegetables. Seriously, I don't remember what they were, but it was all very, very good. Probably better for a group and than date.

[ Google Review ] Huge iconic mural in south Austin. Make sure you go inside of Road House Relics to see some other cool stuff and get some really neat Austin souvenirs, and maybe even get the chance to meet the famous Todd Sanders!

[ Google Review ] Great bar to pop into with indoor and outdoor spots to enjoy some amazing and legit Belgian beer. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The selection is awesome with it being here in Texas. The Straffe Hendrik Quad will send you down to toffee delight and smack you with it's delicious 11% alcohol level, but you don't care because you've accepted it and will get another.

[ Google Review ] It was great! Not to pricey and the bartenders and waitresses and bartenders were awesome! One pet peeve though... Soul Man Sam was plating and I thought he was opening for Dale Watson... But they ushered everyone out and then the second crowd came in??? I found that odd but maybe I've been home too long! Both shows were awesome! Forgot how much I loved Dale!💓💓

[ Google Review ] I love Torchy’s Tacos. I have always had a great experience until today. This was my first time at this location. Young lady taking our order did not seem interested in taking our order. Order came out quickly but was wrong. Tacos were great as usual but I will not go back to this location.

[ Google Review ] Not as big a variety of freshly baked goods as some HEB:S

[ Google Review ] A beautiful green space in the Austin metro area, this place transports one to a realm outside the hustle and bustle of urban life. There peacocks here are also absolutely magnificent and definitely worth a visit to see all on their own.

[ Google Review ] BE SURE TO CALL AHEAD AND RESERVE! This is his home in a private neighborhood and you must call ahead. Adult entry is $5/person. A must-see in Austin! Vincent, the artist, is welcoming and friendly. Had a great time wandering through corridors and up and down staircases, peering closely at conglomerations of knickknacks. Great photos, nostalgia, whimsical creations, and impressive structural creativity.

[ Google Review ] Wonderful place to visit. Great hikes, fun swimming. This is a favorite place to camp. I would strongly recommend anyone park at the upper or lower falls, visit that falls, then do a round trip hike to the other falls. It's not a challenging hike at all, but it is pretty and interesting... Especially in the spring.

[ Google Review ] Best place in town for pretzels. They are made fresh everyday and worth the wait. It's a small space for breakfast but the area opens up below deck for lunch with option of outdoor sitting. They have good cider options. The lady at the counter preparing coffee could have been more friendlier and helpful. Their almond croissant is to die for!

[ Google Review ] Lines might look long but it moves quickly. The sides came out by the time we were sitting down, the deserts shortly after, and the ramen didn't take long at all. The food itself is sublime. Great vegetarian option, everything was really well seasoned and extremely delicious. The bombs can let you crank up the heat or add a great deal of flavor. Their drinks are also excellent.

[ Google Review ] Beer, bikes, coffee. Their drinks are made super well and the atmosphere is great. We sat, drank our coffee and watched the weather for awhile. The pastries and alcohol were super tempting and I'd definitely get it next time I was there. Great pit stop on South Congress.
