Big Tree Oyster Company Is Proving Gulf Oysters Can Be Tasty | Eater Austin

"“This Cherrywood Texan restaurant is so regionally minded that even beer and wine are exclusively from the state. Equally satisfying for a lingering brunch or blowout feast at dinner, the Texas-forever menu under chef Jesse Griffith has heavier dishes like dry-aged wagyu rib-eyes, quails stuffed with boudin noir, grilled chicken hearts, and coffee-cured antelope leg filets. Diners can go lighter, too, with dishes like mixed greens salads and grilled cabbage. The decor vibe is industrial farmhouse — wood, brick, black accents, walls of preserves — and the outdoor patio has a vine canopy with twinkle lights. Best for: Showing out-of-town visitors why Texas is great.” You’ll also find Big Tree’s high-quality half-shells on the menu here, giving diners a reason to reconsider Gulf oysters." - Darcie Duttweiler
