Central Market

4001 N Lamar Blvd
Austin, TX 78756

Don P. writes: You're in new love. You KNOW how it is with those damn belly-butterflies. Or maybe it's just gas or hunger pangs. Hard to tell the difference sometimes.

Sometimes gas would be easier and more rewarding.

Whatever the case, Central Market has all the…

Central Market

4477 S Lamar Blvd
Austin, TX 78745

Leslie L. writes: I witnessed tonight, at Central Market, what is surely a sign of the End Times.

Sweet Leaf Tea...has gone up a dollar.
2 for $6. Two weeks ago, it was 2 for $5.

If that does not convince you, surely this will:

Bing cherries...$6.99 a pound
At…

Quality Seafood

Austin, TX 78751

J M. writes: Welcome to my new obsession.

Driftwood, TX 78619

Lovey C. writes: Day 5 - Austin, TX - Lunch

Four Seasons Hotel
Neighborhood: Downtown

98 San Jacinto Blvd Ste 1
Austin, TX 78701

maiko h. writes: So, I don't really know why there are no benches along the path by the river. While looking for a place to chill out in the sun, I inadvertently trespassed onto the well-manicured back lawn of the Four Seasons. I decided to kick it on the wooden…

Colby B. writes: "Sir."

Pause

"Are you sure you want two Don Juan tacos? They're really big"

Don't worry your pretty little head.

And with those words, I always clear my calendar for the day. Delicious food coma that no amount of their diner-like coffee can combat.

Just…

Neighborhood: East Austin

1209 E 11th St
Austin, TX 78702

1101 W 5th St
Austin, TX 78703

After a fun Yelp Happy Hour at Doc's…

Flipnotics Coffeespace Cafe
Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

1601 Barton Springs Rd
Austin, TX 78704

Green Muse Cafe
Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

519 W Oltorf St
Austin, TX 78704

Boog S. writes: Yeah, see this is what I need. It's a coffee shop. And when you order coffee it's good coffee. It's not just under the boiling point and in a paper cup, like at Starbucks. It's not burned beyond recognition like the over-rated Ruta Maya coffee. It's…

Dhaba Joy
Neighborhood: University of Texas

2900 Guadalupe Street
Austin, TX 78705

Sweet Mary Mother of all that is pure and…

Thundercloud Subs
Neighborhood: University of Texas

3200 Guadalupe St
Austin, TX 78705

Tomo Sushi
Neighborhood: Milwood

4101 W Parmer Lane Ste. E
Austin, TX 78727

Leslie L. writes: The personal space up in here is like, two seconds away from communal seating.* Granted, I was seated with my back against a wall and placed in a corner (no one puts Rezrie in the corner!), but to sit within sampling distance (you gonna eat that?)…

McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant
Neighborhood: Downtown

401 Congress Avenue
Austin, TX 78701

Kevin N. writes: Ok, so here's ultimately the sort of funny thing about McCormick & Shmick's, or at least the Austin location, and it's a little of a backhanded compliment. We could place them gingerly in the three dollar sign category (dinner) or the one dollar…

Austin, TX 78751

Quani C. writes: Mmmmmmmm.... donuts!

Didn't get to experience the hot, fresh, melt in your mouth free glazed donut... but the warm, relatively fresh, free glazed donut was pretty tasty, too. Bavarian creme was pretty good, but made a mess all over my computer and…

Ste K
Austin, TX 78758

Don P. writes: Mary V made me join her at Cafe Java... so here we are. And since my mouth was here and my tummy was empty, I decided to eat.

2105 Hancock Dr
Austin, TX 78756

Mikado Ryotei

9033 Research Blvd
Austin, TX 78758

Camron R. writes: The first time I had sushi was at a place called Buffet City in Wichita Falls, TX. That alone should tell you how bad the experience was. I figured I would probably never eat sushi again.
