Restaurants
Texas Honey Ham
Grab breakfast tacos and/or ham roll for a morning treat.
Interstellar BBQ
Will and Ryan had to wait in line for a couple hours before opening to get in the door, but it was worth it. Will’s favorite was on their rotating menu, so he suggests starting there.
Matt’s El Rancho
We suggest the Large Bob and a Knockout Martini. They don’t take reservations.
Canje
Visit one of Susie and Will’s favorite restaurants in town for great hospitality and Guyanese cuisine.
Aba
One of Susie’s favorites with a great patio and top notch Mediterranean dips/spreads.
Sangam Chettinad Indian Cuisine
A go-to for amazing Indian food in North Austin. Our favorite is the tandoor chicken.
Cabo Bobs
Will has sworn off Chipotle as it is inferior to Cabo Bobs in most every way. Susie and Will like to get it to go.
Food! Food!
Not cheap, but the best panini-style sandwiches in town.
