The hype is absolutely for real: this is the best BBQ in the U.S. You can't go wrong regardless of what you choose, but the brisket is the MVP of the lineup. But get here early, they will sell out.
Another one of Austin's greats...I've yet to have a bad meal, but the standouts so far have been the diver scallops and the fried chicken. Also a great brunch option if/when you can get in.
Fantastic sandwiches (the pastrami is top-notch) and desserts, all set amidst a beautifully-renovated building.
VY's eponymous steakhouse lives up to the hype: it's the gold standard for athlete-owned eateries. And FYI out-of-towners, it's also one of the best places to get a good meal near the Convention Ctr.
A West 6th gem, featuring great new American eats and unique cocktails, like the Duck Fat Sazerac, which is vastly more delicious than the name might suggest.
If you're looking for a place to watch the big game without having to settle for substandard grub or underwhelming beer selection, this is the spot.
The Vietnamese crepe, toasted calamari and the sizzling sea bass are all amazing.
