The BBQ chicken is a must-try, and don't miss out on the side dishes like the Macaroni & Cheese , the Creamed Spinach and the Squash Medley. Read more

Great down home cooking . Chicken Fried Steak was good with the different sides to choose from. Make sure to try the Banana Pudding for dessert . Very good service and friendly wait staff .

Cameron Flores

Everything on the menu is good here but as a vegetarian I love the Bella Muffuletta , I will say though the service has been pretty slow both times we've been here so you must have patience.

Austin Chronicle

East Austin native son Hoover Alexander packs 'em in with tempting renditions of Southern comfort food , complemented with a dash of Tex-Mex, a whiff of BBQ smoke, and a pinch of Cajun/Creole spice.

Marcus Carr

Chicken fried steak was a little smoky, and super yummy! Black eye peas were tasty and homestyle mashed potatoes were great.

Austin Talbert

Chicken fried steak . Mashed potatoes . Green beans and collard greens . Killer comfort food , great side dishes and one of the best CFS in town .

Chicken fried steak was excellent, as were the sides. Service was excellent. Classic, old school restaurant with a great casual vibe .

Very average Southern Chicken Fried Steak , okra&tomatoes, fried okra and mustard greens.Average is not bad but it is also not a destination.Staff are very friendly , and iced tea is sweet :)

It's a short hop from the Stadium ; the bar 's flatscreen loves football ; their fresh-orange-mellowed frozens won People's Choice at San Antonio's Margarita Fest; they've got a mean chicken-fried steak . Read more

Everything is delicious, but I must say that it's the best fried chicken that you can buy. Just as good as making it at home.

Southern home cooking , hearty but delicious. All the food tasted great, peach cobbler was delicious.

Try the AusTex Wings and ask for more than the 2 paper towels. The wings are extremely spicy , but delicious!

This Austin classic has above average soul food and a very indulgent breading on its fried chicken

Candied yams , collard greens , sweet potato biscuits stole the show. Our waitress (Tyler) was amazing!

Alexander Lara

Chicken Fried pork chop almost made me slap the girl Sitting Across From Me that's how good it was

Bo Nash

The jalapeno creamed spinach is one of the best sides ever put on a plate. And if they happen to have the buttermilk pie when you're there, it's divine.

Bela Pulgar

I use to <3 this place but portions have gotten smaller. The creamed spinach and mac n cheese were watery, weak coffee . This place is like a watered down version of its former self.

We were all very disappointed... jalapeno spinach had a imitation jalapeno flavor, the jerk ribs were flavorless and not spicy at all. This is the 2nd time we've been disappointed so we won't be back!
