Austin's Restaurant

Stopped by this restaurant while making a drive around the entire lake and happened to meet the owner while I was there. It was refreshing to see someone that has lived in SC like myself and for the food to be reminiscent of what I am used to was mind blowing. This restaurant deserves far more attention and a bigger building. Only complaint I would have is that the menu could use some expanding but otherwise this establishment is perfect.

Walked in last minute while they were closing, and they sat us down and fed us. The best brisket tacos, and double bacon cheeseburger I ever had with the most amazing Fries. Great personalities work here as well.

We are staying at the Hyatt and our golden retriever is with us. They recommended we try Austin’s. Just a short walk across the street. The staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. Our dog Augie gives his high recommendation as they gave him a special treat.

I went to Austin’s yesterday with a group of 5 friends and expected the basic bar and grill menu and quality. When I saw it is transitioning to Paxton’s and looked at the menu, the dishes were elevated and interesting. We ordered the Cornbread flapjacks (OMG … divine and decadent), Country Fried Steak (succulent gravy, generous portion and delicious), rainbow trout (gorgeously presented, fresh and flavorful) and the brisket grilled cheese (incredible mix of flavors we were fighting over the last bite). We got an incredible array of sides from fries (addictive and perfectly crispy), grilled vegetables (very flavorful mix of broccolini, asparagus, squash and mushroom), chili (really special flavor and great toppings provided) and slaw (significant portion of delicious vinegar rather than mayo based slaw with a great crunch and heat). The drinks were great, the service was excellent and we couldn’t stop talking about how much we loved the experience. Highly recommend …. And so convenient if you’re staying at the Hyatt!!

It was nice meeting you today, Cole and team! The food was amazing and my entire family enjoyed their lunch today. Congrats on the ownership and wish you the best of luck! If you guys were in the Bay, there would be a line out the door. 🔥🔥🔥

Austin’s in Incline Village feels like it was built by someone who’s done their time in the trenches—burnt arms, bad knees, and a Rolodex of every curse word known to man. Someone who actually understands the difference between “service” and “hospitality,” and gives a damn about both. From the second you walk in, you know—this isn’t another soulless, laminated-menu tourist trap. Inside, outside, bar stool or table—they’ve got you dialed in. I kicked things off with a Bloody Mary—already a sensible choice when you’re breathing the same alpine air as Lake Tahoe—but then they dropped the hammer: chicken-fried bacon. Let me say that again, slowly, like it’s the winning lottery numbers: chicken. fried. bacon. I didn’t know this was a thing. Now I do, and frankly, I’m angry no one told me sooner. Sure, my life expectancy might’ve taken a hit, but my happiness index skyrocketed. It was so good I doubled down immediately. Then, drunk on bad decisions and sodium, I ordered fries fried in the same mysterious, golden batter. Whatever alchemy they’re using back there, they could sell the rights to McDonald’s and retire somewhere with palm trees and no extradition treaties. The food was killer, but the two Bulgarian guys running the floor are what sealed it. No scripted pleasantries, no “how are we doing tonight, folks?”—just that rare, unteachable kind of service where you feel like you’ve been welcomed into someone’s home, not dropped into another Yelp review. Geographically, it’s dangerously close to the lake—an easy stumble from the dock if you’ve had enough drinks and poor judgment. Austin’s doesn’t just feed you; it kidnaps you in the nicest possible way. It holds you there, makes you forget your phone, and reminds you that the best meals aren’t about showmanship—they’re about being in the hands of people who actually give a damn.

We got there on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn’t busy. They have a limited parking in front of the restaurant on the street. There’s an indoor and outdoor seating area. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Salad and it was really good and generous portion. My husband got the Ahi Tuna sandwich, the fries were really good too! Our waiter was very friendly. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be back when we’re in the area again.

We had a wonderful lunch!! The service was on point, kind, and we felt cared for. The tallow fried chicken was delish!!! So thankful we stumbled upon this little gem in Tahoe! Thank you Brett Marie and Cole!

If you're ever in Tahoe and craving a delicious, comforting meal, look no further than Austin's. This small, cozy restaurant offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a casual dining experience. Though the menu is full of great options, the standout dish here is their Austin Style Chicken Sandwich, which is easily one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had (if not the best!). The chicken is perfectly grilled but not giving that too healthy tasteless-except-for-char flavor. It is also tender, and juicy, and it's seasoned to perfection with Austin's custom rub, giving it a unique flavor profile that's both savory and subtly spicy. The seasoning enhances the natural taste of the chicken without overpowering it, creating a balanced, mouthwatering bite with every single layer. The sandwich is served on a fresh, toasted bun, complemented by crisp lettuce, tomato, and just the right amount of honey mustard, allowing the perfectly seasoned chicken to remain the star of the show. It's a simple yet unforgettable combination, and the portion size is generous enough to leave you satisfied. The service is friendly and attentive, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to enjoy this delicious chicken sandwich after a day of exploring Tahoe.

A tale of two restaurants. Pre-COVID was our go to place for beers and food after a hike. Delicious and friendly, attentive staff. Post-COVID finds a restaurant that has gone downhill faster than a skier on one of the nearby slopes. Yesterday my wife and I showed up after hiking to Monkey Rock. Maybe 4 tables were occupied outside; no one dining inside. The waiter, a tall thin guy with heavy European accent, offered no greeting or even his name. He just pointed to a corner table and said, "You can sit there". People hate long reviews so I will get to the point. My Austin's burger was so over cooked that it was void of taste and texture. Barely edible but I didn't dare send it back. Wife's salad was decent. Not once did Mr Personality check in with us. We would have ordered two more beers if given the opportunity. He came to the table and presented the bill via a handheld and stood next to me as I hastily glanced at the total and picked the tip amount, which started at 18%. $70 for two beers, burnt burger, salad, and tip. I really want to like Austin's because I have had so many nice experiences there previously. Unfortunately, it appears the current restaurant has nothing in common with my past experiences except the name. We won't be back.

If you're looking a delicious warm meal - this is the place for you. The burgers are massive and the cornbread is amazing. if you're into alcohol (or mock tails) Chris the bartender from Iowa is your guy. if you have a larger group, we recommend getting there before the rush. Enjoy! CHRIS! CHRIS! CHRIS! CHRIS!

Had the artichoke with a side of fries. The artichoke was cooked perfectly, though I could have done without the parmesan cheese since it was mainly on the inedible parts. The side of fries was enormous and absolutely delicious--even tasted great as cold leftovers the next day! The patio is dog-friendly, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a nice spot for a meal.

This was one of the restaurants our airbnb hosts recommended to check out during our stay in Tahoe and it did not disappoint! There's plenty of parking around and it's a quaint little restaurant right off the Main Street. We wanted something that was family friendly and this fit the bill! They have high chairs and a kids menu with crayons to draw for the kiddos. We ordered them the grilled cheese and the Mac and cheese as there weren't too many options. There isn't much of a variety for the kids. I took out 1 star because I asked for veggies on the side instead of French fries or mashed potatoes and they didn't have any. So the only sides they have are French fries or mashed potatoes... which the kids love because it's CARBS (who wouldn't?!) but man it would be great to include some veggies like steamed broccoli for the kids!! We ordered the artichoke appetizer and burgers for us and gave them some veggies from our plates. The burgers were decent, nothing out of the ordinary. They are VERY generous with their fries!! Service was a bit slow but very understandable as they seemed to be understaffed. I did appreciate our server coming to check in on us if we needed anything! The poor guy felt bad about our food taking longer and he was sweet and even gave our kids an extra juice. Really nice service!!! One thing to note is that this place is on the small side, especially if you're a group of 5 like us. I actually called in advance to reserve and we got lucky with one table perfect for our family. So I'd recommend calling in advance! All in all, this is a nice place to stop for lunch if you're in the area and it is a good kid friendly place! The portions are big but they don't have as much "healthier" options if you know what I mean.

I came here for lunch with a big group and they were very accommodating and helped set up two tables for us. We were seated on the outside patio and the staff were all friendly. I decided to order the Ahi Tuna Sandwich, which was a tasty sandwich with seared ahi tuna. The order comes with fries and the portions were great! The food also came out in a timely manner, some dishes took longer than others, but that is to be expected. Overall, Austin's is a great casual dining option for lunch in Incline Village and we enjoyed our meal!

Food was delicious!! Came out so quick and the portions are massive! Our server Adrian was sooo nice and the bartender was very helpful and friendly as well. He recommended this jalapeño ranch that was 10/10. Can't wait to go back

Our meals hit the spot after a day spent biking and rock climbing around the lake. The food was fantastic, shared meals were cut and extra plates provided. One star missing because we never saw our waiter again for water refills and had to hunt him down for the bill after being there almost an hour.

Darn good food, the chicken fried chicken is soooo yummy . I also have enjoyed the meatloaf and burgers.

Ordered food to-go, 8/3/24. Two patty melts, kids chicken fingers, and the pesto chicken sandwich. This place has good fries and a killer aioli that came with everyone's meals. The chicken tenders were average and the patty melts were good but nothing out of the ordinary. Wife said the chicken pesto was fantastic. You can order online from here but I called in my order and it was almost impossible to hear the woman taking my order. When I arrived to pick up, the food was ready promptly. This place has indoor and outdoor seating as well as a full bar. Austin's was good, but I've heard that if you're in this shopping center the sister restaurant Fumo is better.

TLDR: Cute cafe in Incline Village with large portions, really tasty food, and INCREDIBLE fries. If you're a fry snob, TRY THESE. FOOD: I had the chicken fried chicken sandwich (4/5). Huge fried chicken sandwich on Dutch crunch bread. I had a big appetite but still could only eat half the sandwich in one sitting. I usually love dutch crunch but I thought the crunch part of the bread was a little soggy / wasn't great. The sandwich itself was nice but nothing special. The sandwich came with a massive serving of fries (5/5) that were so crispy and packed with flavor. If you order the fries on their own, they come out in a huge bucket. I can't stop thinking about these fries.... We also ordered the meatloaf (4.5/5), which was tasty and well-seasoned. I only tried a bite of this but thought it was great. SERVICE: We had a really nice waitress and she attentively came to refill water and make sure we were doing well. She did forget one of our items but it wasn't a big deal and she quickly brought it out when we brought it up. ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: We had a large group of ~10 people and while they couldn't accommodate us all at one outdoor table, they let us take over two tables next to each other on the outdoor patio. They did have a big enough table indoors, but because the weather was so nice, we wanted to sit outside. They have a wonderful outdoor space with plenty of tables that can fit 4-6 people each, and the environment feels calm and outdoorsy due to all the plants and trees and forest animals (mostly these beautiful birds that would flit around).

We live in Incline Village and this is truly our favorite restaurant. The Beet Salad is incredible, add the Austin's chicken for protein. Customer service is so wonderful. Today we had Bogo and he is fantastic. Don't skip this place if you're in town.

We decided to try this place for dinner and although some of the reviews were less than favorable recently, we were happy with our choice. It's a quaint place to eat, not a whole bunch of tables inside. There were 4 of us and we all had different meals. Fiesta Chicken, Country Fried steak, chicken fried chicken and the Ahi Tuna were all delicious. The service was good, food was served quickly and we had a good experience.

Was created and sat quickly. Server forgot his name sat inside on Monday night Excellent service Ordered pickle fries which where very good Burger cooked just right. Do recommend this place. Ambiance inside ok nothing special

Had the pickle fries for appetizer - they were delicious! Also had the Cobb Salad with Grilled Chicken. Very big portions of salad, good ambiance outside

Went here on a whim. We usually read reviews before trying out a new place, but we were starving. So glad we took a chance on this place. Food was amazing after a day on the slopes! Everyone in our group loved their meals, even saying it was some of the best they had eaten! We had meatloaf, chicken fried chicken, burgers and chicken sandwich. Too bad we didn't take photos cause our food looked way better than the pictures on yelp! Service was great, very attentive. Even my teens commented on what good food and service. Will definitely be back!

Came here two years ago, loved the food. This time, we came back with a party of 13. Due to reservations , we couldn't be seated so we made a reservation to for the next day. He did not put our reservation into the system so when we showed up, they were fully booked with online reservations. He said he promised to seat us in 15 minutes. 20 minutes later a different person came out and said we could not be seated. Thanks for screwing over our large party! Thank you Austin's!!

Terrible service. Did not honor our reservation. Was extremely rude to our party. The food and service was fine two years ago, this time we were extremely disappointed. So many better options out there. Stay safe. Wish I could give a ZERO.

Food was delicious. The calami was excellent, the fries were great and the sliders were pretty good. Pale Ale was

The food, service and ambiance were all wonderful. They are pet friendly also! we share16 oz rib eye and Thia style chicken wings. Anna our server did a wonderful job.

I had one of my top 5 dishes here at Austin's ! Their ahi tuna with potatoes and a side salad in place of fries was wonderful! Seared on the outside a tad and seasoned delightfully. I would come back into town and eat there just for that meal ! Bar service was great but it was a busy night at the start and we waited a bit to get seated. My friends had the country fried steak and enjoyed their dishes as well! Clean place and friendly staff.

The buttermilk fries is a big bowl of fries w/ sauce. They do warn you upon ordering. They do taste good though; battered and crispy and flavored nicely. Definitely recommend getting the loaded version, otherwise it's just a lot of fries. Fried chicken salad is best of both world. You get their famous fried chicken chopped up so you won't have to deal with bones. And you get to not feel guilty by eating leaves. Burger is big and comes with a lot of fries. Fiesta chicken is pretty good too. Tilapia is the most expensive out of our order but also the smallest serving. All the food is pretty solid. They don't recognize the yelp check in offer. The workers look international and maybe they don't know yelp. But the service is friendly and fast. This restaurant is located in incline village, so it's a good option if you're staying in the north area. They also have other trendy/hip-looking restaurants right next door, same parking area.

I have always known "Austins" to be the mediocure "Salad" lunch place/ American style dinner restaurant that was sold years ago to a different owner, who took ownership and kept the same twenty plus year old menu with few changes accept for their famous "big salad bowls" into small interesting salads of the same name. Today I had the pleasure of dealing with some dark haired guy who took my to go order of a tuna salad to go. Before I made the orde, as I came in, told him I wanted a salad and asked for reccomendations of which I picked neither and ended up choosing the Tuna, with a picked fries and spicy sauce app-$1499 (I know, gross, but never have had fried picked before and was coming back to my home where I thought someone might enjoy a few as a snack...also yes, they are VERY expensive, especially when considering the portions and qualith of food, they have a patio, and are accross the street crom the hyatt and near allot of vacation rentals and have beer on tap/ cocktails so their mediocrity of their food cuts it just enough for people to eat their and spend just to have a nice place to sit outside and have dinner that is close to home, kids menu, etc) . Immediately after placing the order I asked someone to please let them know I wanted a honey mustard dressing in addition to the one that came with the salad along whe salad. They had noone they were serving at the time but asked "who was your server" to which I replied the "dark haired guy" He made contact with me and I asked if he could please include the honey mustard with the order/ my salad. He said yes. I returned to sipping my iced coffee and thought about the price....64 or so dollars for the Tuna Salad plus an order of fried pickes ($14.99 ((they are very expensive especially for the level of quality of what they serve. So I think about the tab I just spent and go through it in my head...15 dollar pickes, 20 dollar seared tuna salad (actually salads are small but fairly priced when compared to the 15 dollar pickes or $200 you will end up spending if you stay and have drinks..)iced coffee say $5 but wasnt even sure...I left a way too generous 7 dollar tip for a pick up order which I hardly ever do but I wanted my coffee fast and WAS in a good mood. Something wasnt adding up. I go back in to ask about the price/ for a receipt he never gave, thats when he handed me my bad and told me "You ordered the auntree" I told him no I ordered a salad. He stood their and argued with me and he said "I askes if you wanted the auntree and you said yes" mind you I am trying to communicate with him through his thick accent and a lithp. I told him I didnt understand what he was saying and I thought he was asking if my salad was going to be my Auntree. So this prick takes me from a good mood from me having to tell him "No, I ordered a salad, I speak english as a first language, I know what I ordered, and if you were paying any attention (which I know he was because his eyes were freaky wide open and he looked like he was off an adderall and just got a bonnner) I had the menu folded only to the salads page I couldnt even see the auntress and you were picking my meal with me how does this guy screw this up? I asked to speak with a manager who came out and at least he was polite and refunded the extra money J payed for the very sad looking to go plate of what kooked like a little amount of instant mash, some overcooked veggies, and a medium not overly stingy piece of grilled fish.) I told him to please just put that fish on the salad as I didnt want it to go to waste but he insisted on making a fresh order for me and appologised again. So the manager is nice, food is expensive and so so They do have a lovely patio for drinks, but that little effeminate twat who took my order obviously never learnes the customer is always right so I took a star off the review for him. Also he did not deserve such a nice tip and should have mever tried to make a customer feel like they made a mistake and it was their fault. He ruined an hour of my day between his adaucity and my anger at him plus it reminded me to finally leave this place an honest review. The "server" who took my order has nothing to do with my opinions on the restaurant I have had a second home up here for the last 15 yeara plus and have been a customer of theirs for closer to 25. Thanks manager guy I hope you continue to do well I will be back but your servers...omg, the girl looked and acted like she had zero between the ears and your little fem boy server was totally rude....too many kind and intelligent people willing to wait tables up here to hire low quality people like that. Thanks for fixing my order.

Quick update.. Still awesome! Ordered the Chicken Wings, best ever, 5 stars! I love breading they put on everything. It was just perfect on the wings. They tossed in a good amount of Frank's hot sauce. I like my wings served with a good thick ranch that with hold on to the wings while you eat, thin ranch just runs all over. Their ranch was perfectly thick, great for eating wing I recommend anything chicken fried (chicken or steak) they know what they're doing. You can get it on a sandwich or dinner entree, both awesome. And the fries too Can't wait to get back!

Stellar Food and Service! We happened upon Austin's and we're so glad we did! They were able to accommodate our large party of 12. The drinks were delicious and the food was even better. I had the veggie burger and it was phenomenal. My brother loved the homemade meatloaf. The star of the show was the pickle fries!! So good. Polly was our server and we adored her.

Country fried steak here is one of the best I've ever had. Been enjoying it for a couple decades and it's always delivered.

We love Austin's! The salads are delicious and huge. Super fresh and with homemade dressings. The cornbread muffins are such a treat. The cocktails are huge. It gets busy at night for sure but so long as you are patient, you'll be a happy person.

Great service on a busy night at Austin's which is a must visit if you're in incline village.

We didn't get to eat. The service was horrible. They weren't even busy and we were sitting at our table for 5 mins not one person came to us to give us menus or water. It felt like we were invisible. The lady at the bar was sitting on her bf lap and the 2 servers that were inside were just talking to each other. I'm never one to leave a bad review but this was beyond horrible.

Staff was very friendly,patient,and kind. Super nice to our kids. Hot cornbread when you are seated, large portions, even for kids plates. Casual and laid back atmosphere, would go back anytime.

We had to ask where to sit down as no one greeted us. We sat, they gave us water and literally 30 minutes passed before they took our order. Not even kidding. 30 minutes. The crazy part was that there was only two other tables. While we were waiting, about 20 minutes in, another couple sat at the table next to us. They waited for like 10 minutes to get their order taken, and when the waitress finally came over... she went to their table. Completely lost as to who's been there first. Thankfully, the couple next to us informed the waitress that we were there first. Finally ordering: When I ordered I noticed she didn't ask me how we would like the burger (if you're paying 18$ for a burger it's usually a decent one and they're asking you what temp you want it. We called her back and asked if we can get it medium, she said "oh they come medium". Hmm I said ok... uhh yeah... Burger came... it's no where close to medium. More like well done. Bill came out to 68$ BEFORE TIP 2 cups of water 1 small chili bowl 1 large chili bowl 1 calamari appetizer 1 Austin burger I wasn't even going to leave a review, i dont find joy in doing this, but then my wife got sick throwing up for the rest of tonight, and now I'm here stuck in my cabin writing this review. Must be something we ordered that got her sick. We had only breakfast at 8am and it was around 5p when we ate there. 6:30p she started feeling sick to her stomach. I understand this is rare, but holy moly. Place is a train wreck. lol UPDATE: The owner writes back saying she'll "give a full refund and to contact her " there's no way to do so, and she doesn't even send you a message. I literally told her what I ordered, if she really cared she'd reach out or find my order herself. There's another case where she writes another reviewer with the same thing, and never followed through with her refund. Insane!

Great restaurant with very friendly staff (specially Savina). The food is a delicious and very predictable. Nice court yard to enjoy the nicer days in Tahoe - dog friendly

My wife got the beet salad with chicken and I got the steak with a side of horseradish sauce. Both were really good. The place looks just a little divy but the food quality was top notch.

Absolutely delicious food, it did not disappoint. I got the Austin's chicken fried bacon burger and enjoyed it thoroughly. I had to take 1/3 of my burger home because the portions are so big. I liked the outdoor patio tables. The service was alright, not super attentive but understandable as it was busy. Worth it for the price and would come again!

The food is exceptional, service is great. The ambiance well what can I say it's beautiful LakeTahoe. Hamburgers are so good with the special jalapeño spread. Pickle fries we ordered two. Chicken wings the best. Can't wait to return. What a great and friendly crew

I am extremely disappointed in this place and would advise anyone reading this to try any of the other amazing restaurants in town. To start, I used the restroom when I arrived. The men's was closed so everybody had to use the women's which is no big deal. The problem is that there was no toilet paper and when looking for a back up option to that problem they were also out of paper towels and toilet seat covers. So I had to sit there and wait to "dry" which is disgusting and very unsanitary. The next issue was that it took 20 minutes for us to be approached after sitting down. There were only 4 other tables inside and two of them got up and left since nobody was helping them either. Then we order drinks and food at the same time since we had been waiting so long. The drinks then take another 10 minutes to arrive. Then our appetizer didn't come until after our entrees had showed up and at that point we didn't even want it anymore. During this entire time, our server only came to our table to take the order and bring the food. He never came to check on us. Luckily another worker, a women, brought us boxes. Throughout our experience here, we saw employees sitting at the bar on their phones. If it's so busy that we are forgotten about then how do they have time to sit and chat with each other. Then after waiting and waiting and waiting. We had to get up to go ask someone if we could pay. And lastly, as we are walking through the parking lot our server magically appears to cross his arms and stare us down. I'm guessing because we left a bad tip. Tipping is based on service and he was lucky we gave him anything at that point. I can't believe we paid $100 for the worst restarting experience of my life. Thank you for wasting 1.5 hours of my life.

Ended up here bc the restaurant across the way (Fumo) had patrons that were extremely disruptive. Other guests also left and we found ourselves here. But happy to have landed here...the chili was good and not too heavy. Cornbread was ok. The crispy chicken salad and the burger was good but they had the BEST fries ever. Buttermilk fries!! The waitstaff was super nice and had a great attitude. Would definitely come back!

Great food and service Reasonably priced Great location The salads are excellent and order one of their breakfast martinis with expresso!

It's always hit and miss. This time it was for sure not a good experience. Hopefully they can get back on tract with good food and service.

Must get their Bloody Mary! (one was not enough for me) Across from the Hyatt Resort my husband and I found this little spot and decided to walk a short 3 min walk to get brunch. OH MY GOODNESS! Everything we ordered was DELICIOUS! Also, glad that its a pet friendly spot. Patio was beautiful and our server was great! Will be back!!

Dog friendly, sunny patio with plenty of seating, Austin's is a casual, comfort food spot that serves up tasty sandwiches and unique, shoestring fries. I love that the patio is dog friendly and that my pup was able to eat alongside me! Austin's is pricey, but this is Tahoe so it's actually fair and on the cheaper side for the area. Lunch for two will be about $50 after tax and tip. The portions are hefty and the food tastes really fresh and real. The pesto chicken sandwich was delicious, the pesto was super fragrant and the sammy comes with everything you need- pickles, tomatoes, onions. I loved the fries! I don't normally like fries but these were battered and so thin with the perfect amount of saltiness and loved dipping in the tartar sauce. Very filling lunch! Only downsides were the service, asking for condiments multiple times only to get it ourselves in the end and the fact that the side salad you pay an extra $5 for was literally just iceberg lettuce with tortilla strips and some tomatoes- how is that not simply interchangeable with the fries? Overall, solid spot if you're looking for a sunny lunch that will hit the spot after a long hike or full day Tahoe activity.

Tried to order (via Yelp). The app directed me to call to order. I got their voicemail which directed me to order online. I tried multiple times, provided info to create an account, and each time I clicked "checkout", it took me to a blank page and did not enable me to pay and complete the order. Reviews for the wings sounded really good, but no soup for me and no good review for them.

Even for a slow Friday afternoon, I'm surprised how bad and slow the service was. Food took forever to arrive. We had meatloaf and a burger, it was decent but nothing special. Had to ask another server to find our server to get our check. The table next to ours asked for a coffee refill, they were initially told they're making a fresh batch and it'll be a few minutes. The coffee never came and when the customer asked again the answer this time was that they ran out of coffee and can't make a new pot. For the price they charge for their food, I would expect better service.

I am a local who was just scammed at Austin's. The waiter who was mediocre at best took my credit card for payment. When I asked for the receipt he said it was taken care of. Without signing he added a 30% tip for himself. I fortunately went to the terminal and sent myself the receipt. Realizing I was scammed when I got home I decided to warn anyone from going here as they are preying on unsuspecting tourists.

We've had better experiences here in the past. This time, the bar tender was the host, who was also the only waiter in the restaurant, who also did two shots in front of us. We don't expect much, but we brought a toddler this time, and a little attentiveness would have helped us to have a better dining experience. If it helps, this was a Thursday evening in September (off season?)

I felt very uncomfortable at your restaurant with my family. The wait staff are very unprofessional even if they are not accustomed to American service. First, we were the only table not offered the Austin's famous corn bread. Secondly, my fried chicken was cold and the gravy watery. Lastly, the wait staff barely checked on us after taking our order. Just an unpleasant experience and has good reviews too. Most unfortunate.

decent food. good atmosphere. not a fan of the decorations outside but it is what it is. i enjoy the doug's favorite. probably the best salad in incline if i had to say. always been a fan of the chicken fried bacon burger. i wish they would go back to more cornbread included but i understand that's an expensive offering nowadays. overall a good to even great experience the last few times i've been there.

Came here after a hike, I ordered the chicken fried chicken sandwich, the portions are really big so I recommend you share with someone if you don't eat a lot. The sandwich itself was okay, I expected the chicken to be crispy as it is fried. It came with a side of fries which I really liked, they were seasoned really good. Our waitress was very nice and welcoming. I'd like to come back to try their other food.

So sad that this place has gone so far downhill :-(. We lived in the area for a number of years and it was our go to for fresh, great ingredients, well prepared food. We were visiting this weekend and went back today. The oil used to fry their "famous" chicken fried chicken was rancid. You could smell the off-putting aroma before the taste. The fries...that used to be so awesome...same. Couldn't figure out why nothing served had any flavor. The dressings, sauces. Can only guess a decline in the quality of ingredients. I used the restroom before leaving. Just don't. Terribly grungy, faucet falling off, etc. I'm glad I didn't use it before. The vision still lingers. There were at least 5 employees gathered around the front door on their phones. Maybe have them cleaning? Super disappointed.
