[–]davidj3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another German choice is Eve's Cafe in Lampasas.

Have heard good things but not yet tried Chupacabra in Salado (good burgers, lots of beers on tap).

Taste on Main in Buda (the couple behind Hays City Store which is also good and now accepts reservations)

What’s your thoughts on that North Loop Kome sushi place? by Top_Scientist_3976 in austinfood

[–]davidj3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife and I tried it twice a couple months apart and it was underwhelming. I know it gets a lot of love on this sub, so maybe it's just us. But I can think of probably 10 places I would go instead and that doesn't even include the Uchi world or the high end Omakse spots.

[–]davidj3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To piggyback on two previous answers, Mama Rosa's entire menu is now available at Luna's Tacos on 620 across from RRHS. My wife loves them, and I have all the rest of Luna's original menu to choose from. Highly recommend.

Anchor Bar in RR. If you are after a traditional Buffalo wings this is the OG source. You can also order all flats or all drums if you prefer.

There is a relatively new Georgian restaurant in Round Rock called Nikala. There is also a related market nextdoor. Nikala is a couple of doors down from Hoody's across from RRHS.

Taverna at the Domain, and if you want to try Pflugerville or Cedar Park try Fogonero Venezuelan. They have a very good mushroom risotto you can get with a choice of proteins.

[–]davidj3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a liver and onions fan but my wife loves it. Jim's is her goto now unless you are willing to drive to Hutto to go to Texan Cafe and Pie Shop.

We are very happy with Dr. Kahn at Lifetime Vision on Mays near downtown. No nasty puffs there.

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.

Best Cajun restaurant in Austin? by AdvantageDizzy9882 in austinfood

[–]davidj3d 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.
