Reviews for Oasthouse Kitchen + Bar in Austin, TX
Generally, both the food and cocktails seemed overpriced for better than average food. The flavor profile are centered in fat... and salt or sugar. The service was pretty good for the tables, but the bartenders assistant was unaware. Read more
First time here on recommendation from friends. I would rate our experience as a 3.5, but marking as 4 stars. We (wife and I)... had a drink, an appetizer (chicharrones), an entree (steelhead salmon), and the peach dessert. The service during our visit wason the slow side, but this didn't bother us as we didn't have plans and it was nice to relax and talk. The food was good, butnot great. The salmon was too salty, and it made it hard to let the flavors of the dish come through - this was our biggestnitpick item. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful and apologized for the delay/speed - again, not a criticism of him atall. I suspect they are struggling with staff the same as everyone else. Read more
My new go to restaurant. The food and service were both amazing. The restaurant vibes are great for a family dinner or a date... night. I ordered a burger and wife ordered the wagyu steak frites and we both loved our meal. Also loved the happy hour pricesall day on Sundays. Read more
From the disheveled host (shaggy hair, dirty shirt opened halfway down his chest) to the actual food, this was not the place we... hoped it would be. An off night? Perhaps. Avoid the calamari-we received a plate of fried batter with 2 rings. I sent themback and was brought the same thing. Greek Salad was a bowl of romaine as filler with 2 cherry tomatoes halves, paper thincucumbers, a few tiny pieces of red onion, approx 1 tsp of feta, and bland dressing. Oh, and the same calamari crunchies ascroutons. The Rueben was passable as was the braised pork schnitzel (very small portion). Our server was good so there's that. Overall, just a lackluster experience. Read more
Had the fish and chips and a happy hour drink called "in your head" dining in the back patio and everything was delicious. Will... definitely return. Read more
Absolutely great south side restaurant. It's right up there with Carve. Steak Frites was tender, flavorful, and fries were... great. The red chutney was delicious and cooked MR. I loved the Fish and Chips. The fish was not fishy at all, fried toperfection, and the tarter was so good. Beer was cold, full bar, inside and heated outside area. The outside also has aplayground for the kiddos. Great place, can't wait to go back Read more
Service was great and food quality compared to value was really good, I can't remember the last time I left with less than $100... for a dinner. Here is what we ordered: 1. Beer bread: It was our favorite, it was super fresh with a slight sweetness thatpaired perfectly with the cheese. I wouldn't have guessed that it is bread if I just saw it without knowing what it is, as amatter of fact, the people sitting next to us thought it is meatloaf with mashed potates 2. Carnitas poutine: the fries werereally good, and the overall flavors were good, specially a bite with the goat cheese, but I would be more interested in tryingsomething different rather than ordering it again in the future 3. Falafel fritters: those missed the mark, they were mushyfrom the inside, the sauce sounded tastier and more interesting on paper than real life. 4. Fish & Chips: really liked thebatter, it was super crispy and good. Fries were excellent as well.. I wish the fish was a little bit salted before it wasfried, but I will definitely order it again.

The service was not quick and we were the only ones there for lunch. The biscuits with chicken was $17. It was two biscuits... regular size with a small chicken cut into three nugget size pieces placed inside of the drenched biscuits. I expected a largebeautiful breast of chicken for $6 add on. The bacon was not described as artful in breakfast plate. It was an artful spicedpork belly piece. Advise you go to satellite cafe for plate that warrants the price. Read more
