Where to eat in Austin?

[Roscoe]

I live down the road from the Salt Lick and I literally haven't been there in 5yrs. The atmosphere is the key but IMO there is better bar b que in central Texas. Haven't tried Frankins due to the wait but I will here soon. I really like Lamberts and yes the sides are great. I don't care for the County Line either. It's hard for me to get past my local bar b que guy which is oddly enough a trailer right down the road. You will see Salt Lick workers pick up food from there if that says anything. He only uses the best prime brisket and pork shoulder. They are served as a taco in huge plate size homemade tortillas. The pork with mustard chipotle is out of this world as is his brisket. We had them cater our house warming and went thru 12lbs of meat between 25 people and we had a ton of other food as well.

As far as burgers there is a place on 6th and Lamar called 24 Diner. I love the burgers they serve there even though they only have a few because it's not their specialty. They are served on buttery challah buns and cooked medium. They also serve Chicken and Waffles and it's the best fried chicken I've had. I believe they use a deep fry pressure cooker as I've never had fried chicken taste like that.

Hula Hut is nice especially when you can get a to go order and get back on the lack.....although its hard to leave with all the eye candy at that place.

As far as pizza is concerned hit up Home Slice on Congress for that New York style slice.

Salt Lick is cool for a bunch of people to get together and drink beer, but there is far better BBQ in the area. County Line is good if you're in a hurry and only off of 360...

Loved the Hula Hut..
