Country Style Pork Ribs at Artz Rib House

2330 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX
(512) 442-8283

Big, tender, smoky, did I say tender? Oh my god, the meat falls off the bone so easily, you can't even pick these ribs up. Artz has mastered the art of preparing these ribs. Their sauce is served hot more…   [4 reviews]

Yen Ta Fo at Madam Mam's Noodles & More

2514 Guadalupe St, Austin, TX

Turkey Burger at Hyde Park Bar and Grill

4206 Duval St, Austin, TX
(512) 458-3168

This is my ode to the Hyde Park Turkey Burger - Oh, burger, how I crave you sometimes. You are salty, you are thick, you are remarkably juicy and most of all you're consistent. HP does the turkey burger more…   [2 reviews]

Frozen Margarita at Polvo's Mexican Restaurant

2004 S 1st St, Austin, TX, 78704
(512) 441-5446

Consistently, this is my favorite margarita in town. Even though you can order a pitcher, I think I would advise against it unless you like your margarita melted, which I don't. Getting them by the glass more…   [1 review]

Real Ale Pale Rye at Opal Divine's Freehouse

700 W 6th St, Austin, TX, 78701

Such a unique beer, and made in TX too! Faithfully on tap at Opal's since its early days, the Pale Rye is a beer unlike any I'd ever had. It's crisp, it's a bit bitter, and the rye is very distinctive. more…   [1 review]

Oh lord, how I haven't added this sooner I do not know. Reading Laura's review of the one at Sweetish Hill reminds me how badly I miss the Upper Crust's sugary, masterpiece. Somehow this thing is both more…   [1 review]

Pho Dac Biet at Pho Hoang

2521 Rutland Dr Ste 400, Austin, TX
(512) 339-6002

All my Viet pals concur - this is the best pho to be found in Austin. It's fragrant, it's neither too sweet or too salty, and the sides of basil, cilantro, lime, jalapeno and bean sprouts are always incredibly more…   [1 review]
