"Cavalier’s steak night feels like a mistake. Someone didn’t talk to accounting when they decided to sell a New York strip topped with peach cilantro chimichurri and herb compound butter, all on a bed of fries for $25. The steaks arrive with a thick and well-seasoned crust, the fries are crispy, and the chimichurri brings everything together in a sweet, tangy way. The toppings might change every month or two, but the deal stays the same. Get to The Cavalier on a Thursday before their bookkeepers intervene. The Deal: NY strip with fries and rotating monthly toppings for $25" - nicolai mccrary
"We’ve been pretty vocal about our love for the chicken wings at The Cavalier, so it shouldn’t come as too big of a surprise that they also make a killer sandwich. The fried chicken gets dressed in a sweet-and-spicy glaze before being topped with a refreshing Caribbean coleslaw that adds just as much texture as it does flavor (you can get an additional side of it, too). It’s a sandwich that will leave your hands a little messy, giving you a lingering reminder of the excellence you just took in." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"Stepping into The Cavalier feels a little like you’ve just walked into the bar from a sitcom where a group of friends meet up after work, everybody’s a regular, and an hour always feels like 15 minutes. The menu is made up mostly of Cajun classics—we especially love the wings and chicken sandwiches—and it’s consistently busy, but never crowded, even during Austin’s never-ending festival season. And sometimes, after a full day of listening to bands and pitches about “a revolutionary new app,” The Cavalier is exactly the escape you need. It’s also located not too far off East 6th Street, making it somewhat walkable from Downtown." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"A venue hosting the fourth annual Gumbo Fest with free tastings, a pop-up market, and live music." - Courtney E. Smith
"In a lot of ways, The Cavalier is the perfect neighborhood pub, with plenty of parking, cheap drinks, and, perhaps most importantly, excellent wings. The wings at Cavalier are some of the biggest we’ve encountered, and with some fun sauces like Twisted Tea BBQ and Jamaican Jerk, you can keep coming back to work your way through them all. We usually end up with the Korean BBQ—they’re sweet and sticky in all the right ways, with nice crispy edges that make them almost fun to eat." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
