 BBQ with live music |
2330 South Lamar Boulevard Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 442 8283 http://www.artzribhouse.com/ |
This restaurant is smoke-free and heaven for meat lovers. The Smoked Brisket and Pork Ribs are its specialties. All items are served with Potato Salad, onions and pinto beans. If you are in a mood for some soup, try the Seafood Gumbo or the Garlic Soup. If folk music is your kind of thing, then you should come here on Sundays for Bluegrass Jam. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Calling All Carnivores |
6701 Burnet Road Austin, TX 78757 United States +1 512 323 9112 |
This is the only place in Austin offering certified Black Angus beef. An ideal place for hard-core carnivores, BBQ World Headquarters also sells chicken, Pork Roast, etc. by the pound and in large family sized portions. Dig into some perfectly trimmed Brisket, tender sausages and mouth watering Smoked Angus Beef while you're here. This is one of those places where you get to enjoy your choice of meat cooked over a good old fashioned oak fire, topped with bread, sauce, onions and tangy pickles. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dining at Black's BBQ is like stepping into the past, and you wouldn't want it any other way. From the rustic yet clean decor, the soft lighting and the mounted deer heads, Black's prepares you for a memorable experience. When ordering, remember: it's all about the brisket. Do your appetite a favor and order a nice half-pound slab of the moist, tender meat. Your stomach, if not your arteries, will thank you.

Mi cantina, su cantina |
201, West 3rd Street Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 542 9670 http://www.cantinalaredo.com/ |
Cantina Laredo is a fine dining restaurant serving authentic Mexican fare. How authentic can Mexican cuisine get in Texas? Well, everything on the menu is house-made. If that means hand rolling enchiladas, that's what you get. The ingredients and seafood (excellent garlic butter jumbo shrimp) are shipped in daily and the grilled meat is made from Certified Angus Beef. The wholesome Sunday brunch (carne asada, eggs, chicken fajita omelet) seems like the breakfast for Mexican champions. A final word of caution before you indulge, jalapeños. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Grilled chic |

Located in Arboretum, the Cool River Cafe is a steakhouse and grill. If you think a 'steakhouse' is an embellishment for 'place where cowboys carve into meat', you will be pleasantly surprised. The elegant and formal ambiance of the Cool River Cafe is often a platform for business meetings and wooing couples. Master chef Jamie Gutierrez serves up some of the most delicious Certified Angus Beef steaks (Steak Oscar's a pick) and seafood (Devil Creek Shrimp wins this one) with excellent pairings from the 375 vintages wine list. Ideal for those looking to make their first impression a lasting one. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cut-to-order steak house |
301 East Sixth St Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 473 8924 http://www.danmckluskys.com |
This is one of those steak houses where the raw, real thing comes to the table on a platter for inspection. Steaks can be cut to any size—a boon for those with smaller appetites. The menu also offers fish, chicken, lamb and other choices, but in this atmosphere of dark wood, brass and exposed brick, beef is derigeur. Stuffed mushrooms are a house favorite appetizer, and the requisite onion rings here rate higher than most. A late-night menu, available on weekends, is a bonus for Sixth Street revelers looking for a snack. Review © 2007, Wcities |

It's steak time... |
320 East Second Street Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 457 1500 http://www.flemingssteakhouse.... |
Fleming's is one of the best steakhouses in Austin, and one of the most famous restaurant chains in America. Steak options you can expect to find on the menu include Filet Mignon, New York Strip, Beef Flemington, Veal Chops, Pork Rib Chop, and Prime Ribs. Ask your waiter to help you choose from among the 100 different wines available to go with your meal. If you're not a meat fan, then sample the fresh seafood and scrumptious side dishes. The Salmon, with its signature Mashed Potatoes, is highly recommended. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Catering to a casual crowd, this fantastic little steakhouse is located just outside the entertainment district on 6th street.

All plates come with hot vegetables and bread on the side, plus soup or salad. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Upscale restaurant |
3509 Ranch Road 620 North Austin, TX 78734 United States +1 512 266 1369 http://hudsonsonthebend.com/ma... |
Tucked away in the trees near Lake Austin is a country home, where some of the best game in the city comes to the table. A taste for the exotic is definitely welcome here, as are hearty appetites. Instead of those tired old Crab cakes, try Omar's Rattlesnake Cakes. Sample rabbit, javelina, boar or venison one at a time, or get a mixed Grill Platter for a varied feast. You can even do a modern take on surf-and-turf, a Black Angus Beef Tenderloin topped with lobster. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Texas Cuisine in Cosmopolitan Setting |

Lamberts, located just within the entertaining Warehouse District, has a highly energetic atmosphere with a unique Texas cuisine made up of barbeque, steak, and seafood. When finished with any one of their highly recommended dishes, you can enjoy live music playing on their second floor nearly every night of the week. They are open for lunch which has become a popular spot for business patrons and as dinner is a well sought after experience, reservations are recommended. For those who wish to take advantage of the Austin weather, Lamberts also offers an outside patio. -Nicholas Van Zandt Review © 2007, Wcities |

Retro-vogueish steak and fish |
616 Nueces St Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 479 7616 http://austin.citysearch.com |
Step inside of this relaxed, anachronistic setting (the place is part Sixties jazz lounge, part fashion museum) and you will treat yourself to more than simply a great meal. Granted, that is the other part of this place's appeal; if you are here for seafood, the Snapper Victoria (about $15) is excellent, and if you're a carnivore, the "616" (a black-angus cheeseburger) is a good choice. Soups and salads range from $4-6; one soup in particular, the chicken/veggie combo called the "caldo de pollo," is especially recommended; also, the chicken-fried quail is quite tasty.

Barbecue and blues |
512 West 29th Street Austin, TX 78705 United States +1 512 477 1651 / +1 512 477 2529 http://www.rubysbbq.com/ |
This restaurant features backwoods barbecue with not-so-traditional side dishes, including collard greens and vinaigrette coleslaw. Musical legends such as Buddy Guy and Maceo Parker have dined here, and the restaurant decor reflects this down-home blues appeal. The restaurant serves the only barbecue made with all-natural beef in Texas and a house sauce that is one of the tastiest around. Beer and wine are offered. Catering is also available. See their website for further information. Review © 2007, Wcities |

107, West 6th Street The Scarborough Building Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 477 7884 http://www.ruthschris-austin.com/ |
With 106 locations, Ruth's Chris Steak House is known across the United States for their USDA Prime-graded beef. The Filets, T-bones, Rib-eys and Porterhouses keep people coming back. The fish preparations are forced to play second fiddle, but take a leap of faith and try the Ahi-Tuna stack, if nothing else. Even vegetarians have the Grilled Portobello Mushrooms to look forward to. Add to this the Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce (Ruth's original recipe) or any other from the assortment of cheesecakes and ice cream freezes. The only words left for the diners are "put a fork in me, I'm done!" Review © 2007, Wcities |

Finger Lickin Good! |
18300 FM 1826 Austin, TX 78619 United States +1 512 858 4959 http://www.saltlickbbq.com/ |
For a mouthful of the real Texas, head down to the Salt Lick Barbeque Restaurant. The scenery and the rustic restaurant building all add to that perfect Southern flavor. Try the mammoth sized sandwiches or the Family style meals (inclusive of pork ribs, brisket, sausage, potato salad, cole slaw, beans, pickles, onions, and bread). Dig into the delicious smoky sausages or the moist briskets all made with special Salt Lick sauces. You have to leave place for the irresistible homemade desserts. It must be noted though that the restaurant is located in a dry precinct so you have to carry your own alcohol. Great barbeque, melt in the mouth desserts and a drink of your choice, mmmm!
