This is a very special place that is quintessential Austin. For $12, you receive a 3 course organic vegan macrobiotic meal in a charming setting with the option of sitting at shared tables. I've met some of my favorite Austin peeps while eating here. The restaurant is located on beautiful grounds and a walk down the twinkle lit path to the restaurant is so relaxing and so Austin.

Yes, it really is worth the wait. This is truly the best brisket I've ever eaten and I grew up in Texas eating incredible bbq. The pit master won the first James Beard award ever given for barbecue. You've got to get there in the morning and be prepared to wait a long, long time.

The artists use the retaining walls/foundations of a long ago demolished apartment building. You can look from afar or climb around on the structure. Beware that you may inhale spray paint because artists are working there 24/7. You can get a great view of downtown and the Capitol building from the top of the hill.

You can eat and drink while watching movies. There are several different locations all over Austin. This one was constructed in 2014 and so it's very new. For a funkier experience, check out the one downtown, the Alamo Ritz location.
