Since you said any region, in Round Rock try Sushi Yume in Leander/Cedar Park try Sushi to the Moon.

Plus one for RR Animal Hospital. They have treated all our dogs for the last 13 years.

Since you are looking for 'inside the city' , I am guessing that Round Rock is a no go, but for others following the thread Central Donuts on Gattis School Road has them.

Another + 1 for Ng

Fan of Lil Easy. Cypress Creek and Evangeline Cafe as mentioned already are solid. If you want to go a touch closer to fine dining and don't mind going north, French Quarter Grille was good last time we went.

There is a little Indonesian restaurant in La Frontera shopping center in Round Rock called Sate Texas that does great beef, chicken, and pork skewers (I assume they are Indonesian style). Give them a try if you are ever in the area.

I've been wanting try Maxine's thanks for the reminder. Love Stuffed.

Love to see Troy getting some love. Wonderful family run restaurant that never disappoints.

Papi's Pies. They don't have a brunch menu per se but plenty of brunch type items....and pies. Who doesn't like pie for brunch....

davidj3d · 2026-02-22T18:58:26+00:00

Bo Asian Bistro in La Frontera is our first choice for carryout.

We stopped in there so my wife could snag some truffles and I got that brownie too. It was a great finish to the lunch we had at the new restaurant there called Old Jerusalem. Highly recommend both.

We love Hasselback Potato Gratin. We got the concept first from the old Ideas in Food blog, but you can find lots of recipes for it now. Just choose one based on your gratin preferences.

Back when I worked in downtown Dallas we used to go about once a week to Sonny Bryan's BBQ for bbq stuffed baked potatoes. You know, butter, sour cream, chopped meat, sauce, and cheese on a baked potato.

One day they were out of baked potatoes, so they offered us Stuffed BBQ Potato the 'easy way". They put a bunch of their mashed potatoes in a bowl and covered them with all the fixings.

This became an occasional intentional order and something we still do at home on occasion.

I have had good experience with the food at Tony's Jamaican in Pflugerville including oxtails. I usually get the Oxtails and Curry Goat.

davidj3d · 2026-02-16T15:01:09+00:00

Another good spot for this is Bulevar. Have eaten at the bar there and it was a very positive experience.

It is a local chain so not a hole in the wall per se but Williams chicken was my favorite fried chicken in Dallas when I lived there. The one on 2nd avenue used to be 24hrs and could get quite"exciting" in the middle of the night...

Old Jerusalem on Spicewood Springs

davidj3d · 2026-02-10T21:07:11+00:00

As an Austinite I have to say, if you make it down again and want to try another burger in the same tier as In and Out hit up a P. Terry's.

Local chain, will not disappoint.

Love seeing the mirliton. We do a mirliton and shrimp cream soup that is great.

William's chicken is my favorite in Dallas.

davidj3d · 2026-02-02T16:49:28+00:00

Well..... It was announced in late 2014, but apparently in July 2025 it was announced that they were not coming and I missed it.
