Baby Back Ribs - slow smoked with a spicy but delicate and nuanced bbq sauce. I can never order anything else than the baby back ribs, but they do have brisket, chicken, and beef ribs. This being Austin, they naturally have live music. My favorite is the HTML (Hard To Make a Living) bluegrass band. Check the website for a music schedule. Vegetarians steer clear, Artz is a very meaty...
"eh."I've never much liked Artz. It always seems a bit grungy, which for a bbq place isn't a bad thing. I just get an institutional feeling every time I go in. I seem to hit them when the bbq is very dry.

"Great steaks (and lobster) by Mike S. at InsiderPages "Have a great steak and lobster here. Lobsters are South American versus Maine, so they taste a bit different, but I found them to be great.
Ribeye is just fantastic and the atmosphere is definitely much more lowkey than some other steak houses. If you're looking for a place to be able to hold a conversation without having to yell, this is it. You can talk in a normal voice the whole time...
"Huge Disappointment"I was very disappointed the last time I went to Austin Land & Cattle Co. The steak was tough and their vegetable of the day was corn that tasted like it was straight out of the can! When you a premium for good food, you expect good food! However, their stuffed mushrooms were excellent.

"El Arroyo is favorite getaway..."Ever since we moved to Clarksville in 2003, El Arroyo has been our comfort food zone. We love the weekly specials and only recently discovered the incredible Saturday and Sunday brunch with its $2.50 mimosas and Bloody Marys and creative entrees.While we might raise the median age of the usual El Arroyo dining crowd, we never feel out of place. The wait staff is attentively relaxed, the owner...
"Ditch the Ditch"Everyone tells me El Arroyo used to be the best Tex-Mex in Austin. I was there a month or so ago and refuse to go back. The margaritas were so-so. The ambience was loud and crowded. I ordered stuffed jalapeños, which looked more like halves of small baked potatoes stuffed with some oily orange cheese-like substance. My friends complained that the tortilla soup was cold. I had the...

"Good Austin restaurant"Love this place though they tried to ruin it by putting up that god awful wall around the music area.
"Terrible Experience"I took my girlfriend to Maria Maria on Valentines. We pulled up to valet and they said they were out of room to valet, so we had to find parking and walk to the restaurant. When I made the reservation I was told there would be a option to do either full menu or fixed menu, but when we sat down at the table there was only a fixed menu, needless to say I was extremely upset. It was a four...

"No Frills, Good BBQ"Iron Works is a no frills restaurant with great tasting bbq. You walk in, order off the menu on the board, and get a paper plate with your food and plastic tray to take it to the table. Nothing fancy about the decor and on a busy night expect to be seated family style at one of the long rows of wooden tables. The main attraction here is the food and it tastes great. Pork ribs were tender and...
"Go somewhere else!"At Iron works, the sauce is awful and the barbeque is mediocre at best. It's a shame because the location is great and the building looks the part. However, for much better food, try any of the following: House Park, Buster's (on Lake Travis), Stubb's, Rudy's, Sam's, and, if you don't mind driving, Salt Lick.

"OUtstanding Food & Service!!!"In all my years, in many cities nationwide, nothing compares to the fabulous food and service of Carmelo's! We are in town for a symposium and it was convenient to the Hilton. Beef Stroganoff and Dover Sole were our entrees. The beef was cooked tableside and was melt in your mouth tender. My husband had the sole and did nothing more than rave about it throughtout dinner. We had dessert...the...
"Better than a frozen dinner . . . ."My husband and I are from NY, and so I took him to Carmelo's for his b'day - for a good, down-home Italian meal. What a mistake. The food was lame. It was like diner food. And how exactly does an italian restaurant not serve Eggplant Parmesan - a traditional, italian dish? The calamari - it was chewy and yucky. The marinara was like water. It was really expensive and the service was beyond...

"Great place to eat"I enjoyed eating at Mars. The service was good and the food was wonderful. I had spring rolls, with a tangy but spicy sauce and stir fry. I will go back.

"Lamb was never this greasy"I ordered a dish that consisted of ground lamb shaped into meatballs. I usually enjoy lamb, but this was disgusting--greasy greasy greasy--whatever seasonings were involved were drowned out. I find this restaurant overrated. It's a shame that the service was fantastic, the decor chic, and the other patrons friendly. My family and I did not enjoy the food overall.

"BEST IN ATX!!!"How I miss Matt's EL RANCHO! Best chips (pretty sure they make them there), best food, best service, ritas, atsomphere! I had been going there at least once a month with my co-workers when I lived in Austin. And nothing has compared since! The service there was always amazing, every single time. It was always consistent. The last time visitied, I went on a lark and ordered the brisket tacos....
"American Cheese, UGH!"The service was terrible. Our waiter ignored us. He was more interested in flirting with the Hostess than in waiting on his customers. American cheese in Mexican food, ugh!

"best chopped beef ever !!!!"This place has a real bbq atmosphere with the blues decor and stucco wall. I love the home fries which are so unique with the thyme and rosemary.
Beware of the gumbo, the gumbo was the worst thing I have ever tasted, but the spicy chopped beef is absolutely fantastic! All in all I would definitely recommend this place.
"Worst so far"I've been on a mission to try every Que joint in austin and so far this has been my worst experience. The meat was fine but no better than some of the other places i've tried. everything else was pretty mediocre. I had high expectations for this joint, but will definitely not be going back after paying around $13 for a meal that I pushed around and didn't come close to enjoying. So far Iron...
