As a Austinite this is a solid list minus The Oasis and Torchys. People only go to The Oasis for the view of Lake Travis and maybe a Margarita; not the food. There are way better Tex Mex restaurants to go to like my favorites Curras and Enchiladas Y Mas. Torchys food quality has really gone down and the price is not worth it since they decide to expand to multiple locations in many states.

As an Austin native you did a great job for a snapshot which tourist's would appreciate. There are so many places, things and experiences to have here. But nice overview.

We have so many great food options from pricy to cheap, it’s awesome.

As an Austinite, born and raised, you can’t go wrong with Home Slice.

The brisket at Salt Lick BBQ at the Austin Airport was surprisingly fantastic!

[kevinford]

Agreed on everything other than the oasis. View is great but that is it.

[rhondaz]

Thank you so much for this coverage. You always do a great job, on the subjects you cover... YUMMY 🌞🤠🤗

I just moved to Austin this month so I am definitely keeping this video handy.

[prowrestlingisart]

Gourdough’s is always a must stop for me. It’s a meal on it’s own😊

[matthewtarver]

Who else decided this wasn’t the video you needed after this man put Torchy’s on here.

Two Austin eateries you didn't mention that are long-time greats; Fonda San Miguel and Conans Pizza. Both opened in the 1970's and have been going strong since. Fonda San Miguel opened in 1975 and serves traditional recipes of interior and coastal regions of Mexico. Conans opened in 1976 and is best know for its Deep Dish Wheat Dough and best-selling everything pizza, The Savage. Both are must stops to experience the best of Austin eateries, IMHO.

Ok lots of the places you put are cool and definitely worth a try the oasis is a beyond mid Tourist trap, it’s pretty much chilis with a view

[JMaxxTraxx]

I’ve never seen anyone recommend the Oasis as a place to eat. I’ve seen it as a place to avoid.

[jenniferwells]

Via 313 has some of the best pizza, and the Boston Cooler dessert drink is so good. We always stop at the one in Oak Hill when we visit family.

[AmbientWalking]

I love every minute I spend on your channel. What an experience!

[ObjectsInSpace]

It’s nuts to me that Texas Chilli Parlor didn’t make this list.

[kylewarren]

Here are some 'Old' Austin eateries I would recommend as well: Chuy's (original location on Barton Springs Rd.), the original Kerby Lane (on...wait for it, Kerby Lane), The Catfish Parlor (South location on Ben White), El Mercado (S. 1st Street location), and Dan's Hamburgers (N. Lamar Street), Also honorable mention to Matt's El Rancho- I'm not all that crazy about it but it is one of the oldest Tex-Mex places in Austin (going back to 1952) it's always been a local favorite anyway. Lastly, a shout out to Hut's Hamburgers and Threadgill's two "Old Austin' places that bit the dust during covid :(

Hey y’all . Thank you for the info on all those places. I’m a Fort Worth resident and I’m going to try Franklins for the first time next weekend. Next time you are in Austin, may I suggest Guero’s Taco Bar. Great food, a really cool outdoor music area and a Tarantino movie was filmed there. it’s on South Congress across from Home Slice and next to Jo’s. Keep up the awesome content. You inspire me to get out there and see the world.
