Best Austin Restaurants

[TheFied]

i would vote for fonda san miguel or jeffrey's for what you are looking for. you can also tell them that jeffrey's was GWB's favorite restaurant while governor (even if they hate GWB).

how much better would the sushi/italian have to be for someone from NYC to admit it? i think they probably have to cum in their pants beore they would admit that sushi/italian that they had in austin was better than beloved NYC.

i am not saying it is or isn't better but just speculating......

Take 'em to Sam's and watch them squirm.

went to Fonda San Miguel yesterday morning.... amazing and likely not an everyday NY type of place.

Fonda San Miguel is a great place though I haven't been in about a year. Have your guys from NYC order the S. Texas Platter. Venison, Rabbit, Quail, Frog Legs, and Sweetbreads. I loved it, but definitely don't tell them what the sweetbreads actually are until after the meal.

Out of towners always get a kick out of the Hula Hut experience. Food's OK, but the chicks, scenery and drinks are delicious. Make your guests each drink a "fish bowl".

With the beginning of Football Season

this is good time to revive this thread.
Any good new restaurants that us out-of-towners need to know about. I'm a Trudy's/Guero's/Hula Hut kinda guy but love all things Austin!

Hook'em!!!
