Great food and service. Steaks are done well . Can’t miss with the various sides. Valet parking available on 7th at the Hotel ($9). Over-all good experience in an upscale (not over the top) restaurant .
Fantastic. I had the rainbow trout . The green chile mac 'n cheese is one the the tastiest sides ever. The service was friendly and masterful. Finished with the Mexican creme brulee . I was delighted.
Three words: Big Ass Burger . Roaring Fork is actually a lot classier than the name of its signature dish would suggest – think luxe leather couches – but that burger is to die for, y'all.
Kettle of green chilli pork + fondue pot w/ lamb chops are great. If you're looking for something lighter, try the shrimp and avocado salad . Truth be told, everything we tried so far has been amazing.
Me and my fiance ate fish there! It was truly amazing! I don't like that they haven't one vegetarian option but I guess that will come sooner or later.definitely a good place to eat with fresh quality
Awesome spot downtown. Parking free in street on Sunday. Had the half rotisserie chicken , super good and enough to take home and eat cold later the same night. Guacamole was also really fresh
Classic, albeit a bit tired, steakhouse vibe. I can’t speak for the meat but had a very solid Waldorf chicken salad . If Austin had any kind of lunch culture this place should be busy.
Came here just for the Green Chili Mac n Cheese ...OMG! A must!! Friend had The Pork Carnitas and he claims its the best he has ever had! ????
The Waldorf salad was amazing. So delicious. The mexican corn was also excellent. My bf has the burger and it was alright but not as good as the other 2 thing. HH is a great deal
Enjoyed chorizo mussels for appetizer and a nice pork shoulder carnitas for main course both had exceptional flavor.
Probably one of the most fantastically delicious meals I've ever had in my whole entire life. JUST GO!
The Mac and cheese is amazing! The roasted half chicken is also really good!
Bacon wrapped tenderloin - tasty! Grilled mahi mahi tacos - life changing! Believe the hype - the green chili mac and cheese IS #amazeballs!
The Bacon Wrapped Tenderloin with the Mexican Street Corn is superb!
Big ass burger is good and different with the poblano pepper .
The cedar planked salmon is honestly one of the best meals I have had anywhere. And consistent!! Delicious two times now!!
Just a couple of salads for vegetarians , and they have a lot of added sugars. The wine list is long and interesting though.
Cedar plank salmon & Mexican street corn are full of flavor
Try the Big Ass Burger . A mile-high burger , with a brioche bun and a beef patty the size of a rodeo buckle. Bonus: Follow link for a their green chili pork recipe... Read more
Excellent food, good bourbon . Maddie is a fantastic bartender . Let her make all your decisions and treat her right!
The fish tacos have the biggest chunks of perfectly grilled fish . Order the 2 instead of the 3, unless you're REALLY, really hungry.

Lamp Chop Fondue , Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin , Cheese Grits , Mexican Street Corn . #Amazeballs One of my fav spots in Austin @rynomite
Pork Tenderloin is wonderful!
Try the pork carnitas . Ask for it with a side of bbq sauce and get the mashed potatoes instead of the normal side. It's much better. The big ass burger is also very good.
Nice place - the menu is pork heavy and that's fine by me ????
The bacon wrapped pork loin is nothing short of amazing! Service is about the best I have seen in a long time, I highly recommend.
Everything we ate we finished. Best cocktails ever!
Good service . Decent carnitas . Good for a hotel restaurant . Not a destination spot.
Mexican street corn is amazing. With the queso-n-guac appetizer it's practically a meal.
Fanciest (and hugest!) pork carnitas ever. Very delish + beautiful.
Mmm green chili Mac and cheese ! Fondue too!
Best two things on the menu:1. The Kettle Of Green Chili Pork2. The Green Chili Mac & Cheese
The queso and fresh salsa is great. That and a couple beers during happy hour is $11. How can you go wrong?
The Mexican street corn is spicy and delicious. Individual portion is quite large, so share it!
The crab cake and the shrimp on cheese are delicious!! Great place -- food & service.
Best burger in town . Even better during happy hour !
Steak was perfectly cooked to my tastes. Good work!
A slightly more upscale lunch and dinner alternative. Whether it's a pizza or grilled goodness, their wood fired style will make you smile.
green chiles ? check! mac & cheese ? check! iron pot? check! such a yummy display of mac & cheese !
The rainbow salmon was great!
The pork shoulders were amazing!
Green chili Macc n' cheese
Don't order the Salmon BLT - it should be called the TLBS - $14 for 2-3 oz of Salmon , 2 strips of bacon with lots of tomatoe , lettuce and pickles
Green chile Mac and Mexican street corn
All the fish here is great
A very friendly service . Cannot wait my #bigassburger to be served :)
The green chili mac n cheese is to die for. The tortilla soup is a close second.
Get the burger you will not be sorry.
Steaks are good. Big ass burger . W no bun ..
The Friday lunch pork chop was one humongous and tasty chunk of meat! No need to eat until Monday! - Mike Trimborn
If you get the filet ask for it pepper charred. Make sure to grab a drink outside before dinner. Also splurge on the sauce flight. ???????? - Daniel McDonough
Lamb chops and lava cake! Perfecto! - Clarissa Sarino
Such a cool venue. Intimate space. Not originally designed for concerts, but works surprisingly well. Takes you back in time. - Jamie Womack
Old school bar, great hotel bar for people watching. Solid happy hour! - Iman Jalali
Nice small theater next to the Paramount. It's intimate. Don't expect amazing acoustics or anything. - Josh A
