Moonshine Grill

"Both locations of the Southern restaurant (this in downtown Austin and the other in Avery Ranch) are hosting Thanksgiving brunch. The menu isn’t available yet, but it’ll be $39.95 for each person, available from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Book reservations online (downtown, Avery); there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury

"This historic (and supposedly haunted) downtown restaurant is convenient to many downtown landmarks for event purposes. Opt for the private Sunday House for parties up to 25, or reserve one of the patio areas, one with a barrel roof, for larger events. There’s also its wine cellar bar Kinfolk, which is available for up to 25 guests. The restaurant also custom-creates a buffet menu." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury

"This longtime downtown Austin Southern restaurant is famous for its all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch buffet, which is the perfect time to imbibe in a mimosa or two. There’s also a scarlet version made with pomegranate juice. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Darcie Duttweiler

"The Southern restaurant’s downtown location is a classic space for comfort foods and drinks — think chicken and waffles, chicken fried steak, and green chile macaroni and cheese — alongside a strong drinks list. Even better: there’s a speakeasy bar, Kinfolk, on the property, focusing on loads of whiskeys and well-made cocktails. Reservations can be made online; takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
