Olivia Slutsky

Crispy Brussel sprout leaves are a must, grits , and chicken thighs with fried mash were delicious. Happy hour until 6:30 PM, drinks go from $8 to $6. Try the curly tail with the jalapeño ice cubes.

AmateurConcierge

Like the best elevated bar food? Really good chicken . Brussels leaves a bit too light/why just serve the leaves? Solid margs . Mac n cheese was the best I had in years

Austin Chronicle

Barn chic , with a pleasant atmosphere , nice for a special evening out with friends. The gems on the menu dwell in the vegetables category: Brussels sprouts , fried smashed potatoes , and glazed turnips . Read more

Eliza Chang

Pastrami-cured salmon with pickled red onions and creme fraiche is amazing. The Brussels sprouts taste like candy . This is not a bad thing. It's also not a healthy thing. Overall amazing: just go!

Serious Eats

110 Minute Egg & Smoked Pork Hock : Cheesy polenta topped with chopped smoked ham hocks and a perfectly slow-cooked egg . Green speckled parmesan basil sauce smothers the egg for additional richness.

@cobih

Everything is good here. No, I'm serious, even the Brussel sprouts is to die for. Go during happy hour if you can, most drinks and food are inexpensive during that time. Best foods I've had in Austin.

Dfw Dean

Great food, very busy and popular so make reservations.Duck fat fries , Grits , Brussel sprouts leaves, deviled eggs and boudin fritters shared with others worked for us.

Chris Jobes

This is the type of place you can’t go wrong at. Farm to table everything. None in filets and short rib special we’re incredible. A+

Steve

Surprisingly good service . All the food is over the top. A must on the Austin cuisine scene! Duck fat fries are stupid good. Reasonably priced wines . Love the ambiance.

Savanna Pratka

This is seriously my new fav. restaurant in ATX! From the surprising perfect rosemary piglet drink to a great blackened redfish to the incredible banana fosters beignets-excited to go back to try more

Brook Shelley

Ridiculously amazing happy hour specials , and speed of service. It's really crowded though. Great food for a romantic evening too. Get the green eggs and ham and duck fat fries .

Jackie Mann

The drinks were great here, I had a hard time choosing from all the appealing options! It's a little pricey but not bad just for one or two drinks and a split appetizer .

Sam D

A decadent menu and fabulous happy hour specials including pork belly tacos with a fried egg 😍

Divya Mulanjur

The happy hour prices are incredible, esp for the quantity! The charcuterie was good. The duck fat fries and devilled eggs were excellent. The fried chicken was good too.

Chris Edwards

The crispy brussel sprouts are tasty. Even my husband who doesn't like brussel sprouts enjoyed them. Crispy chicken thighs and pork blade steak were both delish. We had top notch service as well .

Tara G.

Didn't love pork belly , but collards that come with it are fab. Braised pork was great. Loved all charcuterie - particularly chicken liver pâté . Butterscotch boudino dessert was lovely! Amazing staff .

Susan Zoch

The pork belly is great really flavorful. I had the chicken thighs and they were good but there was so much more flavor in the pork belly it was hard to beat.

Jordan Boblett

Candied pork belly is amazing! We are only in town for 3 days and chose to eat here twice just for that dish!

Sheyla Concepcion

One of my favorite places in Austin. If you see the poutine on the menu, get it. You won't regret it.

Morgan S

Where Red House Pizza was. Southern, pig-centric food. We had a cheddar cheese biscuit and pulled pork gravy special that was delicious. Blue-cheese stuffed pickled okra in the martinis - great idea.

Josh Rael

The pork butt and the red blackened redfish were incredible. Definitely get the Brussels sprouts too. Great drinks and friendly service to boot!

Belinda Kathryn

Loved the special lamb pot pie and the pork medallions . Duck fat fries were INSANELY amazing. All drinks were great (charlottes Webb was my fav!)

Melanie Long

One of the best happy hours in Austin! (4-6PM) The deviled eggs are a MUST try 🤤

Sydney Kammer

Cant go wrong with Duck fat fries and the crispy brussels! The Blanche Margarita is to die for!! Happy hour is a great deal- 2$ off cocktails

Erin G

Absolutely incredible atmosphere, food, and staff . Chris was more than accommodating. Happy hour deals are legit as well , every day from 4:30-6:30!

Matthew Spector

Brilliant, pitch-perfect farm to table in Austin. Go for the duck fat fries and crisp chicken thughs. Chocolate truffle dessert is decadent.

Rachelle King

Gluten-free options here! Know the owners and they are on the up & up on gluten-free dining & cross contamination! Just make sure to let your server know

Vicente Lozano

Happy hour is a good deal here. Go with the duck fat fries as a base, also the deviled eggs . Any pork you lay on top of that, all good.

Christine Ha

Great happy hour : get Brussels sprout leaves, duck fat fries & fried chicken with biscuit . Creative cocktails with heavy pour. Great service. 🍟 🍗 🍺

Justin Brodnax

The pork belly was awesome also two thumbs up for the bananas foster beignets . Service was great. I'll be back.

James Bates

Good atmosphere and cooking. Beef shoulder excellent. And try the Liberation IPA .

Julia Roberson

Great happy hour and cocktails . Love their truffled deviled eggs . Everything I've tried has been delicious.

Amanda Dennis

The food is amazing. They take several dishes and twist them. The atmosphere is great. Highly recommend.

Lars Plougmann

Go off menu and order a cheese board if you need an alternative to the sweet desserts . It comes with five delicious cheeses + bread .

Yuni Graham

AMAZING FOOD. Had the beef shoulder it literally fell apart in my mouth. Definitely go here!

Greg Gordon

Order something with pork in it. It will be the tastiest piece of pork you ever eat.

Logan Fountain

The charcuterie plate was very hit and miss. Fried green tomatoes were okay, the dressings were better than the tomato . Beef shoulder was just like granny made it. Pork belly was to die for.

Micah Fernandes

I've known these guys since they started this place back in '11 or '12. Everything is good here, especially the service! So please TIP WELL .

Social News Network

Let me tell you something about happy-hour pork belly tacos ... I actually don't have much to say other than you should probably get some happy-hour pork belly tacos .

Max Wenneker

All the cocktails were fantastic. Try the pork belly taco sans egg or the pork belly dish.

Nan Bozeman

The chicken liver mousse and pickled onions are the best liver and onions application EVER

Grace Lee

Happy Hour is amazing. Plenty of appetizers and drinks for $4. Then the rest of the appetizers and drinks are $2 off from 4:30-6:30. This place is so delicious!

Meghan Brindley

can't beat Sunday happy hour , or a Blanche, the duck fat fries , fried chicken , eggplant fries ...who am I kidding, everything is awesome here!

Joshua Garza

HH is amazing. Great drinks! The brussel sprouts , chicken liver mousse , and truffled deviled eggs are way to go.

Jennifer

The large communal table in the back room gets snatched up almost immediately. Groups over 6, be prepared to come exactly at 4:30 for Happy Hour .

Tiffany Pinkston

The pastrami salmon , chicken liver mousse , salmon rillette, and bananas foster beignets were delicious.
