Blue Dahlia Bistro (East Austin)

It had been a while since our family set out in search of another spot where we could enjoy our Sunday paper and some simple breakfast fare, and finally with the virus letting go of its grips on the kids, we ventured out this weekend to the east side.  Blue Dahlia Bistro has long been [...]

Fuzzy’s Taco Shop (Cedar Park)

A friend mentioned to us that there was this new taco shop with cheap tacos that she discovered in Cedar Park, and we all went to go check out Fuzzy’s.  Fuzzy’s is a no-frills taco shop that was pretty packed on a weekend night.  The night we went, they had all the televisions tuned to [...]

Happy Boba Tea (Cedar Park)

For years, I’ve been griping about Austin’s lack of decent bubble tea establishments, or rather that it doesn’t have enough good ones.  I was first introduced to bubble tea in the late 1980s.  My parents came back from a trip overseas to Taiwan, and they brought home a package of these super fat straws, the [...]

Recession Cafe (Round Rock)

Hubby was reading the local news not too long ago when he came across an article featuring Recession Cafe in Round Rock.  The owner Sandra Alton started the small restaurant after losing her son and not being able to find work after one year.  The article went on to point out that the food prices [...]

Rosa’s Cafe Tortilla Factory (Cedar Park)

Right before Christmas, we met our friends at the new Rosa’s Cafe Tortilla Factory in Cedar Park, the new restaurant that just opened in 1890 Ranch. We had never heard of this chain restaurant, though our friend said that she heard it was good so suggested we all go try it. I was expecting a [...]

Manny’s Uptown Kitchen (northwest Austin)

With it being Hanukkah last night and wanting the kids to eat some latkes (though I tried to pass off tater tots at latkes), I decided that the family should head out to Manny Hattan’s for dinner. It’s the only place besides Katz’s in town that I know where latkes are on the menu.   [...]

C R Surf & Turf Restaurant (Cedar Park)

Our venture to this little seafood shop in Cedar Park was purely on the basis of Yelp reviews. Upon some interwebs digging, I found out that the owners of Surf and Turf once ran the Sea Dragon #2 restaurant at 183 and 620, which by accounts was one of the few places to get awesome [...]

Ski Shores Cafe (central west Austin)

After searching Yelp for a place where we could take the kids that we haven’t been before, we stumbled upon Ski Shores Cafe.  The weather was just gorgeous, a bit windy but perfect.  We take advantage of every opportunity to be outdoors if we can so Ski Shores Cafe it was. From the map, there [...]

Gourdough’s (South Austin)

In one of our smarter moves, my extended family and I trekked down early to the Gypsy Picnic at Auditorium Shores this weekend in the hopes of discovering other food trailer gems, knowing that if we showed up later, the lines would be horrendously long. This was definitely a smart move. The lines were getting [...]

Black’s BBQ (Lockhart)

Hubby and I were in the mood for some BBQ, and if we’re going to have Q, we’re willing to drive for the good stuff. We decided on Black’s in Lockhart. For those of you transplants from elsewhere, BBQ in Texas is not the same thing as grilling food. Mixing up the two makes us [...]
