We went to Moonshine after reading several positive reviews. One review mentioned the pecan crusted catfish, which is really why we went. And we were not disappointed at all! It was cold and raining, but the patio was enclosed and heated, which was a plus. The setting would have been really romantic has it been warmer and drier - maybe... more

Have been here twice. Upbeat, upscale yet casual Texas style. Hearty portions, good service, varied menu. Definately recommend. Easy walk from Four Seasons, Hampton Inn and many other downtown hotels. more

We always like the LOCAL recommendations for eating..........interestingly enough, it was not our hotel Valet, but he was a young man living in Austin, his whole life. We followed his suggestion, and were not disappointed!! Pecan crusted catfish to die for!!! Deep fried asparagus.....only in Texas!!! It was very good, but back to our Med diet!!! A Brownie, chocolate sauce,... more

I travel to Austin often and I love this restuarant. They have indoor and outdoor seating, multiple, small, bars. Food is very great and the portions are large at a fair price. In a town full of good dining I find myself going back here often. more

What a horrible lunch Sat. Sept. 5th. I ordered the chicken sandwich with marinated artichokes. The artichokes were stone cold, border lining on frozen, which made the chicken cold. Also, the sandwich was so dry I could barely choke it down...no mayo or mustard on the sandwich or on the side. My partner ordered the broiled rainbow trout with cornbread... more

We waited for one hour on a Saturday night. They do have many places to sit and wait and we even got seats a the bar. We had the baked brie, flat iron steak, and pork tenderloin - all were just okay. The mashed potatoes and mac and cheese were one step above. The ambiance is nice, but a little... more

After an hour and a half wait, with much anticipation, our waitress spells out our meager and uninteresting choices, fried chicken strips and pasta salad. Huh? This is comfort food? Threadgill's is comfort food, and it's affordable and served hot. Everything was cold, cold migas, cold "King Ranch Casserole-not", cold scrambled eggs, cold chicken strips, cold chicken fried steak with... more

I almost hate to share information about one of the best places for a small celebration in the Austin area! We celebrated my husband's 50th in the Moonshine's Sunday House. It was surberb. From the moment we arrived the service and setting were perfect. The food was great (I'm still getting emails raving about the food from our friends -... more

Ate Sunday brunch. Food and selection of the buffets were good. Mimosas were good but the Bloody Mary was not. Good food but very pricey. more

Their Sunday Brunch is worth the wait - truly a treat! Be prepared to wait for about 45 minutes or so - it's better to go earlier than later, but who really wants to get up that early on a Sunday!? I've eaten there during the week on non-buffet days and I do not recommend it -- their buffet is... more
