Inexpensive but great food |
5003 Airport Boulevard Austin, TX 78751-2708 United States +1 512 453 9842 |
Small and quaint is how you can describe this place best. But don't let the small factor undermine the Mexican fare dished out here - you can actually watch them cook. Crowded with hungry students, travelers, local patrons, and professionals, the food is delicious but inexpensive. Food includes homemade salsa, breakfast tacos, migas, enchiladas, chalupas et al. You can call ahead and order - with the prices, for a whole baseball team. In spite of the demand and queue, service is quick. Note: no credit cards please. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Macrobiotic dining |
1701 Toomey Road Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 476 2535 http://www.casadeluz.org/ |
Serving macrobiotic food in a community setting, this restaurant offers natural, organic, vegan meals. One complete, balanced macrobiotic meal is created for lunch and another completely different meal will be offered for dinner. You will not find a menu, as the chef plans meals daily based on the seasons. The cooks work continuously during each meal to keep the fresh food coming, as you may go back for "seconds" as often as you like. The fresh steamed greens with almond sauce are a personal favorite of many patrons. Its environment is spacious and airy with many windows surrounding the dining area. There is even a "silent table" where guests may eat without being disturbed. Check out the weekend brunch where you can explore tofu migas, or spelt pancakes with berries. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Casual restaurant |
4001 North Lamar Blvd Austin, TX 78756 United States +1 512 206 1000 http://www.centralmarket.com/c... |
Whether it's a quick lunch or leisurely dinner on the deck, this cafe goes way beyond expectations for a grocery-store eatery. As Central Market is no ordinary grocery store, so Cafe on the Run is no pedestrian deli. Soups, salads and sandwiches are all executed with creative flair; for instance, the roast beef sandwich is dressed up with Brie, and the turkey with Havarti. Ingredients are fresh, and most of them are available at the adjacent grocery. And if you don't want to exercise your sweet tooth, stay away from the bakery case. The Creme Brulee and Italian Cream Cake will tempt you every time. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Get Doted On |
13805 Orchid Lane Austin, TX 78751 United States +1 512 255-7288 http://www.dotsplace.net/index... |
Run by a sweet old grandma whose chief desire is to fatten people up, Dot's Place takes comfort food cooking back to its rustic roots. Though the menu itself is an anarchic jumble consisting of whatever it is that Granny Dot feels inclined to cook up on any given day, one may generally depend on the availability of chicken 'n' dumplings, fried catfish, and meatloaf; sides are vegetable-heavy and made up mostly of such southern staples as mashed potatoes and green beans, whereas the libation of choice is, of course iced tea. And it should come as no surprise that Dot's does a brisk business in peach cobbler and sweet potato pie. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Good Ol' Fashioned Barbecue |
100 Red River Street Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 478 4855 / +1 800 669 3602 http://www.ironworksbbq.com/ |
The old Weigl family iron works no longer forges metal, but a tasty assortment of fine Texas barbecue. With walls adorned by branding irons, the motif is quintessentially Western, perhaps for the benefit of conventioners from the nearby convention center. At the counter, order your choice of sliced beef, chicken, beef ribs, pork ribs, pork loin and sausage for a two-meat combo plate completed with sides of potato salad and beans. Or make your choice of meat by the pound. The spicy sauce is a tangy counterpoint. And if you are craving barbecue somewhere far away, note that Iron Works ships their goods anywhere.

Sandwiches, salads and baked potatoes |
10225 Research Blvd Ste 1010 Austin, TX 78759 United States +1 512 345 9586 http://www.jasonsdeli.com/ |
This clean, bright place is a comfortable stop for a quick meal. The sandwiches are full of flavor, the baked potatoes are huge and the salad bar is the freshest in town. A personal favorite is a one-trip salad bar and half a Plain Jane baked potato. It is just enough to put a smile on your face, but not enough to make you want to go back to your desk and sleep for the rest of the workday. This deli is consistently good and the service is well organized, so mistakes are few. Review © 2007, Wcities |

French country cafeteria |
9828 Great Hills Trail 620 183 & Great Hills Trail Austin, TX 78759 United States +1 512 502 2474 http://www.lamadeleine.com/ |
This restaurant is decorated as a French cafe in the countryside and the patriarchal owner of this chain really does hail from France. Many of the recipes come from owner Patrick Esquerre's mother's recipe box. The Tomato Basil Soup is a big favorite during fall and winter; use it to start a meal of quiche, Roasted Chicken, wood-fired pizzas or simply a Caesar Salad. Breakfast is also served daily, and includes both hot items and pastries, along with the restaurant's signature French Roast coffee. In desserts, try Ann's Cake, an Almond Croissant or a Pecan Tart.

Quality takeout is available for a business meeting in the office or for dinner with your family at home. The shop itself has a casual takeout feel with a reach-in case carrying a variety of options.

Be sure to request the complimentary salsa with roasted red peppers. For lunch, several sandwiches are offered, including a vegetarian selection. Soups are made fresh daily along with focaccia and flatbreads.If you are interested in trying all types of hot dogs and sausages, this is a great place to start.
