First and definitely not last time here! Great welcome and service, food was fabulous, and atmosphere was nice and cozy. We'll be back for sure and tellng our family and friends.
Delicious spot! Went for brunch right when they opened at 11am and really enjoyed it. Friendly staff, great drink selection, and delicious brunch. Atmosphere was casual and friendly and food came out with good pacing! We enjoyed the beignets, pork po boy and the rice, beans, and eggs. Po boy was the winner of the group!
Love the menu. Easy, tasty, priced fairly. Vibe is cool. Drinks are good and reasonably priced (uncommon for Austin). A total gem
Best fried chicken! Amazing place!
Our waiter Tristan was a really nice guy, super attentive, energetic, and kind. He really helped us enjoy our friend's birthday party without incident and provided us with great service and excellent attention to detail. He took our group photos for us, and he may have a future in photography ;) Parking: The parking is a bit small, but that is normal for the area; there are a few other businesses in the lot.
A differently good spot. Had the Gumbo, fried boudin balls, fried chicken and beignets. A must try at least once.
I needed a special place for a special anniversary for my special fiancée. I had reservation options, but I had heard great things about Vic and Al’s, and decided to roll the dice on getting in. Holy &$@*, am I glad we did. We pulled up, and thought it looked packed inside. Girlfriend went in to check, and the look was deceiving - they were definitely busy, but you can sit and order at the bar, as well. When it’s not too cold, there’s patio seating, too. We had catfish atchafalaya smothered in crawfish and shrimp étouffée, and a wood-fired oven-roasted mahi mahi with charred fennel, mashed sweet potatoes and sweet chili glaze. And, of course, the danged corn dogs. An Old Fashioned is a simple thing that is often wrong, somehow, but their corn old fashioned was solid as could be. My fiancée , who doesn’t usually love martinis, declared Winnie Martini one of the best martinis she’s ever had. The Orange Drink (tequila, ginger cayenne simple syrup, carrot and orange juice, with a citrus salt on the rim) was fantastic. But yay, fantastic food and drinks and a cozy, lively atmosphere. What really got us was the service. When everything is so fantastic, they could get away with good or “great” service. It could be super-efficient and servile, or it could have personality but just OK. The staff here gave you the kind of touches and personal attention you’d expect in a more expensive and potentially stuffy restaurant, but with a personality and sense of genuine care. We’ll definitely be back, and we’re bringing friends. I’ve lived in Austin all my life, over 50 years, and this is the sort of restaurant we all want to see survive and thrive. So, go do your part for that - you’ll be rewarded!
Place is a nice relaxing vibe with fresh smells of spices all the food is as natural and had an authentic taste to them. Would highly recommend this places for couples and small groups. Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible ramps
Some of the best food I have had in Austin. I could eat the gumbo every single day.
