Hyde Park Bar & Grill, Austin TX

This is a really nice restaurant but still had a relaxed neighborhood vibe. Our waiter was excellent. Started with a bottle of wine which was a generous pour. I had the Cajun redfish which was excellent. Grits were good but my side of mac & cheese was amazing. Hubby had the sriracha shrimp with pesto linguine. It was also quite good. It’s far from us so don’t go as often as we’d like. According to hubby if we still lived in the area it would be a regular hangout for us.

This is an old Austin favorite of mine. For someone that has seen Austin drastically change over the last 20 years, Hyde Park Bar & Grill for me is still a great neighborhood spot for good value and a satisfying meal. I ate brunch here today and really enjoyed my Eggs Benedict (with fried chicken & bacon) and $3 Bloody Mary. Plus reasonably priced local art on display and for sale. Not as glossy as most new things that pop up now, but check it out to experience an original local business.

Gotta try the chicken fried chicken. I’ve been here a few times now and keep coming back for more. I will say I think the portions are getting smaller each time i come.

It’s pretty cool how they have local artwork on the walls, and the bungalow style restaurant makes for a pretty cool vibe.

I wish the table salt and pepper shakers were upgraded a bit. Hardly anything comes out the pepper when you shake it.

Additional parking spots in the back, and service was great. Didn’t rush us and checked up on us often. Great spot to come relax snd enjoy some good comfort food!

Will be back!

Had chicken fried steak, Hyde Park fries, shared avocado fries. Great experience, half the CFS was great for breakfast the next day así couldn't eat it all

I had a delicious salad but was really eyeing the shrimp and grits. I did not make it back to the restaurant to eat shrimp and grits but will definately return on my next trip. The service was excellent, the atmosphere very comfortable, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Service was great. Simon took great care of us. Was not thrilled about my chicken avocado blt…was missing the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle. I didn’t make a fuss because I thought maybe I remembered the menu incorrectly but nope, it was missing. Fries were good but needed salt or a spice.

Great meals, interesting choices, fries ordered extra crispy were fabulous. Steak with broccoli side was amazing.

Came from out of town on a recommendation randomly one day from someone who lived in Austin. Fries and sauce were good and that’s what brought us in. Food was average. Husbands burger was way overdone and sons burger didn’t come with any toppings like we had requested. Ordered 4 different drinks from the bar. 2 were so so. The other 2 were not good at all. Marg tasted nothing like one and the Paloma tasted like gasoline soaked dirt. Our server could have been less than interested and handed our check almost right after we got our food. I guess we were done ordering stuff? I suppose we would come back for just the fries but nothing else really stood out

This is a great spot and consistently good. I have always had a great experience. Recommend the chicken and waffles. And the chicken fried chicken. And how could I forget the Hyde Park Fries. Oh, and the bloody mary.

Our party of five had 4 different menu selections and I sampled 3. The quantity was reasonable, but the quality was extraordinary. I'll be back.

An old favorite. I rarely get over to this side of town. I used to always get the Pecan crusted fish and Mac. But it's been replaced with Creole Redfish. Even Better! And I been getting the Polenta instead of Mac n chz! Better than Mac!? Haha. Thank you for your consistency.

The crowd here is on the older side. People come with their families or even on dates. The drinks are strong. The happy hour is cheap but only limited items. There is plenty of parking in the front, back, and a bigger lot further back. We ordered 4 of their happy hour drinks, they were tasty and came quickly. For the food, we opted for happy hour finger food. We got their famous fries, fried beans, and fried avocado. The fries were delicious, they are coated in some starch and fried. The avocado tasty so good, like creamy egg yolk. The fried string beans are just as you’d expect. The dipping sauces were yummy! The portions here are very big for their happy hour price. The staff was nice and quick. I would def come back again to try their chicken fried steak entree.

It's been years since my last visit, I'm so happy to be back. Food was outstanding.

Very good service on a Monday night. Incredible food with short waiting times. Simple but delicious menu. Well deserved 5 stars!

What a great place to eat dinner with my friends and family! Food was delicious! I will be back again

My husband and I have been dining at Hyde Park Grill-Central for 30+ years. Always enjoy food and atmosphere!
Today, our server took drink and food order then completely vanished! It was necessary to go to the bar for him to give me a drink refill. It’s important to let you all know about a server not returning to your table. He was not slammed as lunch was winding down. He was professionally polite; however, I question the training? This is my reason for posting. Also, we prefer to tip at least 20 percent. Unfortunately, we reduced to 10 percent of $50.00.

Tomorrow 6-8-23, I’m hosting a large group (10) ladies for lunch at Westgate location. And again, a large group in a couple of weeks. I’ve been considering doing regularly scheduled Meetups at Central location. Thank you.
