Best Hidden Gem Restaurants in Austin | Eater Austin

"This upscale Southern restaurant is one of the better restaurant options Downtown, and it’s totally underappreciated. There’s a full bar, though the bourbon and whiskey cocktails get particular attention, like the Porch Swing with bourbon, peach liquor, lemon, tea, and spices. The dining room has a modern farmhouse feel, and the menu delivers nonstop stick-to-your-ribs hits like fried chicken, deviled eggs, and a little gem salad with cracklings. The fluffy biscuits with honey butter are a must-order, and the cinnamon roll biscuit, only served for brunch, is worth the visit alone." - Erin Russell
