Food
Exceptional beef cheeks, top-tier brisket, unique cuts, and creative sides. Desserts like cheddar cheesecake, banana pudding tiramisu highly praised. Inconsistent seasoning on some items.
Location
South Austin locale, just off 290. Limited, challenging parking; early arrival suggested for best spots.
Service
Mostly friendly, helpful staff with menu guidance and attentive service. However, frequent long wait times and slow counter process, sometimes leading to cold food. One instance of unprofessional staff.
Value for Money
Pricey, but consistently deemed worth the cost and wait, especially for Michelin-starred quality. Some perceive price per pound as high.
Vibe
Great, clean, and comfortable, with a casual yet almost elegant restaurant feel. Ample seating, natural light, and a friendly, communal queue experience.
