Austin's

Great atmosphere especially the patio. Very clean and good food overall without breaking the bank. For some reason waitress was ready to wrap it up the moment I tried to start my order.

As a born-and-raised Texan, I walked into this place with high hopes and an empty stomach, lured by the promise of “good food” using words like Texas barbecue. What I got instead was a masterclass in culinary disappointment. Let’s start with the meat — the supposed star of any Texas BBQ joint. It was, quite frankly, an insult. The brisket tasted like it had been boiled, not smoked. No bark, no smoke ring, no flavor. Even after drowning it in salt and slathering it with their overly sweet BBQ sauce, it still tasted like sadness and missed opportunity. I’ve had gas station jerky with more soul. It’s as if someone Googled “Texas BBQ” and then promptly ignored every result. Now, I will give credit where it’s due: the cheese curds were crispy, gooey perfection, and the nachos were surprisingly solid — loaded, crunchy, and actually seasoned. But if the best thing at your “Texas” restaurant is the nachos, you’ve got a branding problem. Bottom line: if you’re from Texas or even just know what real BBQ should taste like, steer clear. This place is all hat and no cattle.

Amazing family owned and operated place We’ve never had anything there that average everything on the menu is delicious and flavorful. The menu covers a wide range of cuisine. They have a wonderful staff that treats you like family. Comfortable and clean. I’ve sent many friends here and our out of town guests and family always want to go back when they’re here visiting. You’ll have a memorable enjoyable experience at Austin’s.

I absolutely love going to Austin's Saloon whether its with my besties or my boyfriend! The menu has so many options, which makes it easy to try something new every time we go. From delicious appetizers to mouthwatering entrees, there's always something to satisfy everyone's cravings. The service is always top-notch--friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. The food consistently impresses, whether you're in the mood for a tasty burger, delicious tacos, or something else entirely. I've never had a bad meal here! It's the perfect spot for a fun, relaxed meal with friends or a date night. Great food, great service, and always a good time--Austin's Saloon is a place I'll keep coming back to!

Wonderful dining experiences. We were seated immediately and greeted right away. Sabrina was excellent giving suggestions. Service was awesome! Our table ordered skirt steak, sirloin and cod. All were cooked perfectly and all were delicious. We had an amazing time and will certainly visit again.

Very excellent and beautiful restaurant I highly recommend Lovely great tasting food Lots of options and they're are generous with the portions This meal was excellent 👍 Best cottage cheese I ever had and the tuna with the avocado was a nice combo

We came for dinner over the holidays. Had a little bit bigger group but they did not have any issues seating us.(We did make a reservation about 1hour before). They also accommodated us concerning where to sit as we had a couple seniors that struggle with walking distances. The food was good and the right temps. It has changed a little since I was last there. Seems a little more casual than it was a number of years ago. That was fine with me. Food prices were not crazy over the top either considering today's economy. We all had a nice time. They have a nice patio seating area with a fireplace that looked fun for another time.

My friend and I decided to have lunch out on the patio area. This was my first time but my friend had ate here several times before our lunch. The menu is amazing! So many options it was hard to make a choice. We decided to order two meals and share them. We had the black and blue burger with onion rings and the chicken tacos. Wow! We had so much food that we were able to take a whole meal home for my friend's daughter. Everything was cooked correctly medium well for our burger and the food was very tasty. I did notice the other meals coming to the other tables and everything looked really good. We were so full we passed on dessert but the dessert menu had many options to choose from. The restaurant itself was very nice and had different areas to sit. There was a bar area with TVs, a dining room for indoor family sitting, outside sitting and they also have a large back room for events.The service for me was just okay nothing to note positive or negative but our waitress did seem busy and not as attentive as I would have liked. I will definitely recommend this restaurant and hope to go back when I'm in the area.

We hosted our company's holiday party at Austin's in the Fuel Room last night and it was fantastic! We had roughly 60 guests and Shane, Alicia, Kim, and Katy truly made the night flow seamlessly. Kim was our server throughout the evening. Her attention to detail and friendliness was remarkable. One of my pet peeves in the food industry is when my server leaves dirty dishes/napkins on the table. Kim was magical in the way she swept everything away immediately when someone was done. The place was clean all night long. She also charmed the guest with her enthusiasm and was quick with drink orders. I also really appreciate that Katy was there at the ready taking guests coats and walking them upstairs to the coatrack at the start of the event. That was really classy. I'm sure she climbed about 30 flights last night! She also helped me pull together the centerpieces with her floral arranging skills which exceeded her job description, I'm sure. She was a lifesaver. Alicia and Shane were very kind, competent and professional. Both are so pleasant to work with. Alicia was our bartender. She was friendly and efficient with the drinks. No one was left wanting for anything. Shane was my point person throughout the night. He was a huge help with set up and swiftly worked in the background making sure everything ran smoothly, the food was served on time, etc. He was readily available for available for anything we needed. The owner, Mark was wonderful to work with in setting this all up prior to the event, answering my many emails, sending us the floor plan and a satellite view of the parking area, etc. When he asked how the sliders were, I had to tell him I didn't try them as I am a vegetarian. Our guests loved the food (great pizzas and awesome fresh veggies and fruit skewers!). Mark insisted on making a plate of vegan Beyond sliders and French fries and sent it out especially for me. Such a thoughtful thing to do! Mark also really knows how to best layout the floorplan in the Fuel Room to make the party flow. We had (3) slot machines, a craps table, a roulette table and a blackjack table. We also had (2) chair massage therapists and (2) caricature artists. He made it all work with the space not feeling crowded in the least. He didn't just set us up with his staff and leave either. He checked in with me a couple of times to ensure we were having a good time and ask if we needed anything. I look forward to our next event at Austin's. They really understand the service business and know how to treat their customers. Big thanks to the staff!

I moved out of state a few years ago, and when I am back in the Libertyville area, Austin's is always at the top of my list of my schedule permits. They offer plenty of seating (inside and outside to fit your preference), and a vast menu. While a large menu is risky, from my personal experience they do everything well. They are know for their fajitas and burgers (among other things), and on this visit my wife was up for breakfast (which they offer certain days), and I chose the Pig Out (BBQ) sandwich which had amazing flavor. The staff are great and the food equally good! Austins, I hope to see you again soon! (please bring back the B52 sandwich!!!)

I recently visited to Austin's for lunch and was genuinely impressed! Not only do they have a huge covered patio but also spacious interior seating areas. We had a rather large group and they were easily able to accommodate us. The restaurant itself plays into the western vibe but in a tasteful way. Parking can be a bit difficult but be sure to go around back for more spots. Their menu offered a wide variety of items which made picking one item hard! Portions are large so expect leftovers. The food presentations were amazing! While I only got a caesar salad (YUM), others got the tacos, sliders, and bowls which came out looking and tasting great. Our server was warm and kind throughout taking care of our group. She did give us a bit too long of gaps for beverage/food orders, but I completely understand letting us all catch up. Overall, this was a great spot for any small or large group catch up! Tip: Austin's shares a building with Fuel Room which hosts entertainment on weekends!

This place is a really great lunch spot on the weekend. Been here a few times and have enjoyed it. We always start with the buffalo wings and they are usually crispy and juicy - just how we like them with a good homemade ranch on the side. This last time we tried the Caesar salad with garlic shrimp and it has great flavor. The salad wasn't as crispy as we'd like but it was fine. We also got the chicken fajita wrap - which is really more like a chicken burrito but it was very good and the wrap was the perfect texture- nice and soft. The prices are just right - this place is a contender!

We ate at Austin's for years and had a horrible experience about three years ago and only recently returned. I first want to complement Korey our waiter. He was outstanding. He really cared that we had a positive experience and we did. Just wonderful. We stopped to tell the manager about Korey's outstanding service. He was so appreciative and he too complemented Korey. He was as welcoming as Korey! It was a refreshing change from our previous experiences at Austin's. We will return thanks to these two outstanding employees!

We came in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Although the parking lot was full, there was no wait to be seated. The server came over right away and took our order. The salads came out within five minutes and for a house salad was pretty loaded. The appetizer in the entrées came out pretty much at the same time. So the service was fast, but it did not give us time to enjoy the appetizer separately. The steak and salmon were cooked to perfection. The rice and beans are excellent. The ambience was pretty laid-back and quite not a lot of people in the dining area, which was nice .

Great food and service. Lively atmosphere. Broad menu choices to accommodate most budgets.

Service was solid. The waitress was efficient. Food-the burgers. Cooked as ordered. Nicely seasons. Loved the fries. Delivered hot! Value. A little bit expensive for a burger.

Super clean restaurant with a great bar and friendly staff. For such a big place they do a good job getting your food out in a timely matter and it's always very good.

I would give zero stars if it let me. We didn't even get to eating. I had a reservation, but they would not seat us until all in the party arrived. I called the remaining two driving together & their ETA was 10 minutes. They still refused. The two that were there are drinkers & Austin's could have started making money while we waited for the whole 10 minutes. Actually, we could have asked fir a table for 2, which on the patio, will accommodate 4; and just waited for the other 2. Mark, the owner, was right there witnessing all this. We went down the road to Jimmy's Charhouse. Mark & the other gentleman, knowing we were leaving because of their unwillingness to seat us, just waived and wished us Merry Christmas. Granted, Mark and the family own enough establishments that one group of patrons means nothing, which in my opinion is a little arrogant. Bottom line, I find this very poor customer service. BTW, Jimmy's was great & we spent over $200 & not that the dishes were more expensive. Kudos to Jimmy's Charhouse - great customer service & profit for them Shame on Austin's!!

Had Austin's delivery this evening. Have eaten there many times in the past with average results. Tonight I had the Monster Melt. OMG absolutely outstanding! I couldn't be happier. I strongly recommend this sandwich. Scrumptious!

Austin's is again a solid place to go - this time we joined the Easter brunch (just before the fire you may have read about, luckily no one seriously hurt!) Theo Easter brunch offered a carving station with ham (great!!) and brisket (so so), buffet of shrimps, a smoked fish (mackerel I think, VERY good!), also tons of other things (biscuit &gravy, French toast, bacon etc). Also they had pizza and mac&cheese, a great Greek salad. No bread unfortunately, but also an omelette made to order and pancakes also freshly made. This came with soda coffee and mimosas included - a great way to enjoy time in Easter. Well organized though quite busy

Great food, large menu never had anything bad Great bar seating and variety of drinks Outstandingly service

Great service with amazing food. The grilled chicken sandwich with mushrooms, onions and mozzarella cheese exceeded my expectations. Prompt, friendly staff. I would highly recommend.

6/23/24 18:20 Thankful for accommodating our 12, then 13, and then 14 party. However, the service is too slow. Our party feels like our table was neglected as we see her, our server, attending to the other tables (3 other). Our drinks aren't refilled. She seems overwhelmed and she should've asked for help. 20:00 Still no food. The other tables that are 5+ per table are done. It's just us left. Don't clean up other table when you still have to attend to us. Food arrived shortly after, my stepson's skirt steak came out first (celebrating him and his fiancé after bridal shower that day), and after 23mins everyone's food came. So I posted the review while we were waiting and the owner or someone higher up saw my review and told the waitress. She asked around for me and found me. She proceed to "guilt trip" me about my review- told me about her boss being mad at her, and about why she needs the job. First, I really hope she doesn't get fired because this is not just on her but a reflection of your establishment. Second, you know your employee is drowning and you let her drown, shame on you. Third, you knew there was a big party that you accepted and should've assigned a backup with her. She was set to fail. After we were done, bill came and we paid. As we were leaving, our party heard the server yelling at another server about our tip . Service=tip, that's how's it's always been and that's how it will always be. It is based on the service we received. And the fact that you had to talk to me about my review, about how I should've talked to you first (we tried flagging you multiple times, MAYBE if we/I could find and talk to you then maybe, but you were nowhere to be found or get a hold of). She did the best she could, and her team let her down. Service: 2 Ambience: 3 (after being talked to after my review) Food: 2.5 Honest review.

I absolutely love going to Austin's Saloon whether its with my besties or my boyfriend! The menu has so many options, which makes it easy to try something new every time we go. From delicious appetizers to mouthwatering entrees, there's always something to satisfy everyone's cravings. The service is always top-notch--friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. The food consistently impresses, whether you're in the mood for a tasty burger, delicious tacos, or something else entirely. I've never had a bad meal here! It's the perfect spot for a fun, relaxed meal with friends or a date night. Great food, great service, and always a good time--Austin's Saloon is a place I'll keep coming back to!

We had a larger party recently on a Friday night here. Service was very good as usual and the place always has a good vibe. Our only issue to report was the quality of their mediterranean bowls. They arrived and were must like a soup and not at all good. All other entrees were good as usual, but just a FYI on the bowls.

In town for work and this spot was recommended. Then I saw in the news they experienced a small fire and were reopening today. So I definitely wanted to come out and support this family owned business. I am so glad I did!! It was clear from the greeting the woman in front of me was a regular and beloved customer. It was lovely to witness. My own greeting was warm as well! The service was timely and friendly. I had the Iron Skillet Steak Sandwich. Yum!!! Would definitely order again. It was a rainy, snowy day. I was seated on the porch with a roaring fire going. Perfect setting for wonderful food. I highly recommend this spot!

We met another couple for dinner on a Saturday night and got a parking space right away. Went in and got seated right away. Aaron was our server and was hustling in our area. I was getting tired just watching him . lol . Service was great and I had the KC brisket sandwich and it was great ! Always great food here.

Austin's Saloon & Eatery is a hidden gem in the northern suburbs. The Acapulco Salmon is a standout dish--delicious and well-seasoned. Enjoying it on their lovely outdoor patio, complete with a cozy fireplace, makes for a perfect dining experience. Our server was extremely pleasant and did not rush our experience. A must-visit spot for great food and ambiance in Libertyville.

The service was pretty quick and friendly. The food was very satisfying and delicious. The ambiance was upbeat and pleasant!

Great food and even better service !! We had a large party and our server was outstanding. He was on top of his game and suggested food, got our drink to us quickly !! He took his time with each person and was just an outstanding server!!! We will be back. Dan

Came here for dinner. Loved the vibe. Food was delicious and service was excellent. My sandwich was steaming hot when it arrived at my table. I took my first bite and literally said out loud to myself "oh, that's good." The bun was so soft and melted in my mouth. The chicken patty was delicious. Onion loops were crisp and had great flavor. I enjoyed the house salad. Most house salads are lettuce and one tomato. This had a nice variety of ingredients. My margarita was also delicious. I'm sad I don't live in Illinois but it was definitely the perfect locals place to visit while on vacation. Two thumbs up.

Austin's is our go-to restaurant, and has been for years. Tonight we did carry-out, and it was fantastic. The nachos had a ton of toppings. We also got the Monster melt, and it was delicious and consistently has a lot of meat. Austin's has great portions, and a wonderful variety of food to choose from.

Pretty cool place! Food was good, went with a large group, I think 14 of us, everybody enjoyed their meals. Beer selections seemed good. Always need my IPAs. The place overall is pretty nice. Well kept up and lots of TVs. Place seems a little pricey but I'm not too familiar with libertyville so that may be the norm. Was a little annoyed the waitress was trying to tell us she can't split the checks, but unless you don't wanna get paid. They better just do it

Wow call me impressed. Solid service. Seated quickly. Competent server. Very good food. Mediterranean Bowl with chicken. Succulent chicken. Fresh flavor. Healthy portion. Reasonable prices

Consistently good food and quick, attentive service. High tops and booths in bar and family tables in main dining room and patio.

Foods is good, service is a little slow. Forget about booking large groups as apparently they are not equipped to handle them. Tried to book a large group from the company and was told the menu would be very limited. It was obvious that they did not want the business. Ended up booking at a neighboring business.

Nice size menu. Service was great. The whiskey selection was better than most. The buffalo trace old fashioned was delicious. The dining room was clean and well managed.

Austins is always our "go to" for a casual dinner, love eating out on the covered porch, beautiful flowers in summer, fireplace in winter. The food is ALWAYS DELICIOUS. We always feel welcome and it is always special that the kids are made to feel welcome. I actually have a lot of pictures to post and will do that at a later time. We also frequent the /Fuel Room when we can to see top notch talent without flying to Vegas! :) Restaurant favorites? Ribs, Ultimate Fajitas, pot roast cheese wedges, Garlic Shrimp pasta and brunch! Thanks for the memories Guys. -Jan Leasure

First time trying out Austin's saloon for lunch. The menu is huge with so many options to pick from! I saw that their Friday special was a fish fry so I was going to try that but after looking at the sandwich menu and hearing my colleagues talking about smoking ribs and brisket, my attention quickly turned after I smelled the sweet smoky wafts in the air. I ended up picking Austin's Big Pig out - sloppy style. Wow what a good pick! The sandwich was huge with plenty of tender pulled baby back rib meat topped with a generous helping of coleslaw on top. The roll was tender and the sandwich literally melted in my mouth! The sweet bbq sauce complimented the tender meat perfectly and wasn't overwhelming . I'm a sauce guy so there was plenty of flavor that I didn't even think of asking for more. I also ordered the onion gravy fries which came with a huge portion. The fries were tasty and crunchy and covered with onion gravy which was so good. No ketchup needed. I barely finished half my sandwich and barely dented the fries since I was so full! I'm usually a big eater but the portion size of this sandwich overwhelmed me. Our server was very responsive and kept my water and soda filled at all times. Overall, this was a great place to visit so if you're looking for a big delicious meal with lots of menu variety, this place is for you! I'll be back!

I've been to Austin's a handful of times. We went on St Patrick's day, so they had a separate menu dedicated to the celebration. We tried the corn beef and cabbage egg rolls off of the separate menu. They were so tasty, cheesy, and savory. The dipping sauce reminded me of something that would go on a Ruben sandwich. I paired that with the pot roast fries. The fries were crispy, the meat was tender, savory, and very delicious. We got the kids two different meals and they split. Chicken tenders with fruit and hot dogs with fries. The waitress was nice enough to bring their food out with the appetizers, so they were able to eat their entire meal. Lastly I got the Chimmi Churri Steak, comes with wedges, rice & beans, and a side salad. The steak was cooked just the way I liked. I am a big fan of chimmi churri, I wasn't the biggest fan of this version of it. I don't know if it's the color, seeing the stems, or the light taste. The rice and beans were so flavorful. The street corn was okay. Austin's has a covered patio with a fire place, which I can imagine is awesome on slightly warmer days. The decor on the inside gives cabin vibes. They also have a bar on the other side of the restaurant if you are not looking for traditional dining experience. I would definitely come back and try something new.

It's my first time in Chicago, I am here for my brother's navy graduation and we brought him here to celebrate. The places food and service were amazing and the environment was so nice and serene! Definitely recommend to everyone close by!

The food was very good. I enjoyed my salad. The waitress (Grace) could have been more attentive. She did not come back after serving our food. She did not come back to ask about us or offer to refill out water or ice tea. We contacted another waiter to find Grace for the water and then for our bill. The management was inconsiderate and unexpectedly lied to us. We were a table of 8 women at lunch time. We were told in advance that we could get 6 separate checks but the manager said the system would crash when a table gets more than 1 check. We told them we would pay cash, but they insisted their computer system crashes As we paid our bill we notice a table of 4 women got separate checks We will not be back to Austins any time soon.

Recently held an event for my parents at Austin's, a favorite spot of theirs. One week prior to the event we discovered we had been out placed from the private room and relocated to a bar area. Not the entire bar but a section of it. We had over 80 people in attendance. Our servers were amazing and very attentive but the space was all wrong and so was the way we were treated. We were not informed or asked about the change. I'm disappointed and shocked and our family no longer respects or trusts Austin's.

WOWED by the presentation of our dinner plates, all in perfect harmony my Sirloin Steak I chose from the Butchers Choice menu and it was cooked to perfection, the baked potato was so smooth and creamy, my veggies were on point. The Steak and Ribs were delicious with enough BBQ sauce to feel satisfied. For the Pasta lover in our group he ordered Mushroom Chicken Alfredo pasta with toasty bread on the side. We had Shrimp appetizer which was okay nothing to write about but the Chicken Wings were so mouth watering tasty and that glazed sauce was scrumptious. Our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. This restaurant with it's exclusive Bar is the best in town trust me you'll Love it! The ambience I almost forgot! It was so clean, fresh smelling, roomy & airy with nice decor for all your picture taking! We ate in the Patio and it was so cozy & warm for January.

A casual sports bar time place with good options for starters and main course. Have been there couple times and wasn't disappointed.

My friend and I ate on their enclosed, heated patio on a cold, fall evening. I was happy that this is where a table was available -- the place was busy, and the tables were spaced safely apart on the patio. Our table was right under a large heater, and actually it ended up being too warm there -- I felt like I was sitting under a tanning bed! But we stayed, because better toasty than freezing. I ordered the Santa Fe chicken sandwich, which was good, but included way too many raw onions. Once I removed most of them, it was much better. It came with a choice of sides, and I opted for fries. The portion was enormous. Our server was friendly and attentive, and wore a mask the whole time. Overall, it was a positive experience.

The food is mediocre, but the wait staff was very good. It's a place that is recommended by many people, but I probably am not gonna run back.

We were seated in the bar for dinner, hence why it was loud but that did not spoil our experience. The food was great. I had the patty melt medium rare and it was made to perfection. I tried gravy fries for the first time and they were great! My husband had the shrimp tacos and he loved it. The spice level was spot on and the flavors were just delicious. After dinner we went to the Impact Fuel room to enjoy a show. Such a great evening.

We were visiting this place for years. We loved its food and atmosphere. Not anymore. Awful experience. Yesterday, before we got our food we were served a beer with dirty glasses. But then it went from bad to worse. The silverware we got still had pieces of dry food stuck to them, not just spots of dirt. May be their dish washer got broke or something, but it doesn't matter. The way it was handled by our waiter was bad as well. She showed complete indifference, didn't even try to smooth it out. If I could , I'd rate it as a zero.

Really creative menu with well planned fusion of iconic cultural dishes. Definitely not a boring "chain style" menu. Ingredients are very fresh and prepared with talent. Service is friendly and clearly customer oriented. Personal note here; I am recovering from surgery to correct a ruptured Achilles tendon and need to use a walker. The table bussing person saw me struggling to sit and promptly came to my assistance in an unobtrusive way and then stored my walker until we finished our meal when he once again appeared out of nowhere with my walker. Who does that anymore? The wait staff is knowledgeable and not rushing the patrons for an immediate order and are happy to answer questions. I love the space usage as being true to Austin's as a saloon; but with class. Try the Spicy Shrimp and Pasta Bowl for an excellent example is carefully crafted cultural fusion. YUMMMMMM

I've been to Austins a couple times now. The prior time was years ago. I went to see a band tribute Frankie Valley and the 4 Seasons. While the band was good and the cocktails were decent I was confused what venue I was at. To put it politely I was not sure if it was early for Halloween based on the "costumes" the bartenders were wearing. What Austin's needs to understand is that women make up 50% of the revenue. I heard the pot roast cheese wedges are fantastic but I will not ever come back to find out. Sorry. There are plenty other restaurants to choose from the Libertyville area.

First time coming here. Been hearing about this place for a while and decided to try it. We ended up sitting at the outside patio and it was nice and warm especially on a cold fall day. As an appetizer, we ordered the bucket of gold. Sooo delicious!! Only downside is they only gave us 1 small marinara but no ranch was included even though it says it comes with it and when we asked for extra they told us, they would charge us. Didn't think it was going to be a big deal. But that's a lot of bread, for just for a small cup. I ended up ordering the chicken wings in sweet chili as my entree. So delicious. The wings were fried to perfection! Would definitely come back and try the other things they had on their menu.

Our second visit and another great meal and experience. Sitting on the patio is very pleasant with tables nicely spaced and a good vibe. Server was attentive and kept checking on us regularly. Drinks were great and main portions huge. I've had a burger and fajitas, both were nicely cooked and presented with sides. We've also tried three dinner salads, tacos and the fajita burger. It's hard to believe that with such a large menu that they can prepare this variety well but they do. One of the best family friendly/local bar type restaurants in the area! We'll be back.

I had such a great experience here! I will definitely be coming again and reccomend this place to all locals. I haven't been out to eat in months and wasn't feeling super comfortable but a cousin I hadn't seen in a while invited me and assured me of the protocols. I was so glad the seating was "outdoors" with many ceiling fans and a cozy fireplace to keep warm. Going out anywhere is a risk right now but I did feel better about the way the restaurant was set up and there were not many people/there was enough distance between tables. The employees wore masks and were all very kind, especially our server. As for the food and drinks, I loved it! One drink had me feeling great and I felt that it was very fairly priced. We got shots on the house which made the experience even better. I ordered the chicken sliders while my cousin ordered the chicken with spinach dish. Both tasted really good! I was not expecting the sliders to come with the additional toppings and onion rings so that was such a pleasant surprise when I arrived. Overall, I had a beautiful time here and am very happy with the experience!!

Walked in to place a carryout order during a hectic lunch rush. The friendly staff at the counter were great. Food was ready quickly. Pleasantly surprised with the new carry out packaging - no styrofoam! Cardboard box kept the food hot and the fries crisp and delicious after my 15 min ride home! Keep up the good work Austin's!

I loved this place! The menu was huge! It took a long time to read it and make up my mind. Everything looked good. I am usually a very fast decision maker, but this large menu made it tougher. The patio area was inviting. The server was good and there were enough good craft beers.

Austin's in Libertyville is definitely a hot spot for not only locals, but us as well!! Although their menu is vast, we always get the same thing. Their fajitas are THE BEST. In fact, about 10 years ago we read a newspaper review stating that the chicken fajitas were THE BEST. So we decided to drive the distance and try them. We're glad we did and continue to frequent Austin's. On weekends there can be a wait so if you want to avoid the crowds, try a weekday. GREAT experiences
