Southern comfort food & cocktails in a historic, possibly haunted home
"Set in a beautifully restored 19th-century building just steps from some of Austin’s most iconic Downtown landmarks, Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill offers a warm, rustic setting steeped in charm — and possibly a few ghost stories, too. The restaurant is ideal for gatherings of all kinds and has several private and semi-private event spaces. The cozy Sunday House fits 25, while covered patios, some featuring vaulted ceilings, host larger events. For something moodier, the underground Kinfolk bar offers a speakeasy-like feel for up to 25 people. Work with Moonshine’s events team to create custom buffet menus featuring its beloved Southern-inspired fare — think shrimp and grits, green chile macaroni and cheese, and signature cocktails." - Darcie Duttweiler
"This rambling Southern restaurant with a covered outdoor patio is a classic stop for cocktails and comfort foods. That means chicken and waffles, chicken fried steak, and green chile macaroni and cheese. Even better: There’s a speakeasy bar on the property, Kinfolk, which has an elite whiskey selection and well-made cocktails. Moonshine is also rumored to be one of the most haunted places in Austin, so scaredy-cats might want to get food to go." - Erin Russell
"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
"The Southern restaurant with two locations, one in downtown and the other in Avery Ranch, offers all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch buffets. Expect dishes like biscuits served every which way, chicken-fried steak with eggs, migas, desserts, and much more, along with a la carte brunch cocktails. It’s $26.95 per person at the downtown location with Sunday brunch hours from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and $24.95 per person at the Avery Ranch from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The chipotle cream gravy that tops the massive chicken-fried steak at the downtown comfort food restaurant adds a nice spicy kick to the meal rounded out with mashed potatoes. There’s a second location up in Avery Ranch. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
