Best happy hour in the area, even sometimes on football Sundays. Alex, the Brazilian guy and the Hawaiian chick are awesome bartenders. (I drink so much I forget name, ha). Happy hour is from 3-8pm.

Food quality along the lines of a "Chevy's" but with inflated prices. Do yourself a favor and find one of the better establishments in town. Picture: Hangover Burger.

Extremely good food and very friendly staff. The Manager chatted my son and I up a little, then offered to buy us dessert. We split one. I would recommend to anyone, to visit this establishment.

Darlene is an AMAZING waitress! Amazing!!! Get put in her section if at all possible. She gives you cost-cutting savings AND she is quick & friendly. Also, AG management, PROMOTE HER!

BEST HAPPY HOUR IN DC!! Try the Wings, Shrimp Avocado Salad, and the Molten Lava Cake are amazing.

Excellent shrimp tacos... TERRIBLE service... Order was wrong, asked for a beer 2 times and ended up having to goto the bar to finally receive a beer... Ridiculous

Guacamole was great and strawberry margarita on the rocks wasn't too shabby, either!

Those who like the spicy: try the veggie burrito with their chipotle sauce (ask for Weed Killer too).

The Hangover burger tastes great, but it is so small that I'll never pay $12.00 for it again.

I'm from Austin. The decor and the beer is authentic. But no one in Texas brags about Texas beef.

Good food, good service. We were eating outside and it was great (until a thunderstorm came).

The regular wings are the best thing ever

Be careful - the hens @ the hostess stand will talk mad *ish about your clothes and hair after they seat you.

They have a Gluten Free menu! Ask for it when you come in!

Bar tender seems a little bland...We didn't get served the customary chips and salsa either..... There service has gone down!
Marlon NormanMarch 6, 2011
Don't like the fact I had to keep getting up from my seat to grab the bartenders attention. The patron margaritas made up for it!
Scott TollefsonMay 18, 2013
You HAVE to try the queso!!!!!
Lucian TeoSeptember 6, 2010
Salsa is pretty dismal. No texture, a little more than juice. Had spinach and portabello quesidilla. Barely passable, and I'm no food gourmet.

This Austin Grill is gonna be our up the street neighbor when The Riot Act Comedy Theater opens in June 2011!!!
Matt ShipleyFebruary 22, 2010
Go here, try the fried shrimp with sweet potato fries app, it's amazing!
Maggie EsqApril 4, 2010
Get an outside table and have a LBJ margarita and order a combo (their combo menu is back).
Kay RussNovember 13, 2011
Avoid! Food was mediocre and over priced. A cockroach crawled under our table. We ordered french fries and guacamole, neither showed up but they were on our bill. Won't be back.
Rick HessJune 14, 2012
Decent prices..though margaritas are a tad pricey...
James LucierApril 20, 2013
Best GM in town!!
Steve SchwarzbachMarch 27, 2011
Don't get the queso. They make it with beer, not a good move.
April From DCJuly 30, 2010
I lived in Austin for 7 yrs. This place shouldn't be allowed to call itself Austin or Tex-Mex. There are better choices nearby. And despite their website, Happy Hour does NOT begin at 2pm on Fridays.
Cateyes GauseDecember 27, 2012
To-go order from the bar was CRAZY SLOW. 30-minute wait.
Pierce VoorthuisMay 4, 2012
Skip. Not worth spending anything here. No reasonable explanation for 40 minute wait for tacos and burger at 9 pm when it's dead.
Amanda InderbitzinJanuary 20, 2013
Great guacamole!
Steve McMahonFebruary 27, 2013
Hangover burger. Ermagerd.

Decent brunch but HORRIBLE Bloodys. Stick with Mimosas.
Tamika Lashelle MilesNovember 11, 2013
Really did not like the wings the sauces are awful
@NY_Nick718February 26, 2011
