Burgers:
The Tavern - "gourmet" i use the term loosely
Dans - Greasey hangover burger
Huts - variety of burgeres


Italian - 2 choices, Carmelo's or Romeos (Romeos is a little south of downtown, my wife and I go there frequently)

Steaks - Roaring Fork, Austin Land & Cattle

Mexican - Manuel's good food, music is loud, as my friend says its latin people, you know how we are.

Chuy's - good food & drink,
Trudy's - decent food, awesome drinks,
The Oasis - great view, great (overpriced) drinks, shitty food.

Looking to spend a day in Austin. Hence the bump. Any advice on what to see/do/eat. Thanks!

The Salt Lick is a little ways outside of town, but well worth the drive. Awesome bar-b-que - brisket, ribs, and sausage - be hungry when you arrive.

hehe yeah its BOYB (they sell wine there but its overpriced) and bring cash (its a cash only join), they have an ATM on site.. but to avoid the fees.. and don't [censored] around with the sheriff's who are your parking attendants.

also .. you can find good bbq (doesn't have the Salt Lick atmosphere) at Stubbs, Rudy's, or County Line... also... go only to the Saltlick in Driftwood.. they cook everything there and ship it out to the other locations in Austin.
