We had Sunday breakfast at Barley's this past weekend. Being a long time resident of Austin I remember when it was Jerry's Other Place and owned by the Kellogg family. Barley's has maintained the excellent quality of food and service that is the hallmark of this eatery. The food was delicious and the service was fast. It's a great place for breakfast while in Austin.

Our tour group stopped for lunch on our way to the Black Hills. The lunch buffet was great and the entire group (25) was pleased with selections and the quality of the food. Thanks to John for working out the details, making the arrangements and providing excellent accommodations and service for our group. Also stopped on the way home. Same great service. Highly recommend!

I have visited Torge's in the past and had a great time, On a recent visit it was dead. I don't know if this was an anomaly, but on a Monday night football nigh only a handful of people were in the bar. I hope I just visited on an bad night as there is not much to do when visiting Austin

This deli is a hidden gem in Austin. Sandwiches are made with fresh (in-house baked) bread and additional ingredients. The caramel bars are locally famous for being out of this world, you will want to have one. More importantly than the great quality of food...the friendly service will have you talking about a stop here.

We saw this when we visited the Spam Museum. It is less than a block away. When we went in there were two people so we were not sure. By the time we left it was almost full. My wife had the bourbon taters which were very good and I had the pork tacos which were excellent. We ended with the key lime pie. Didnât expect key lime to be that good. Definitely recommended.

I ordered the glazed salmn and the glaze was just sweet enough without overpowering the fish. The salmon was perfectly cooked, very moist and flakey The baked potatoe was firm, not overbaked or mushy. Broccoli was served very crisp. Coffee pot was brought to the table so we did not need to wait for refills. Service was prompt and friendly. All in all an excellent meal..WOW!! Thank you for the great review, we appreciate your business and taking the time to review you experience with us. Please stop again for another great meal soon. Thanks Larry
