Matt's El Rancho
About
2613 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78704, USA Get directions
A South Austin institution on South Lamar, Matt's El Rancho is a sprawling, family-run Tex-Mex spot where the Bob Armstrong dip — queso layered with taco meat, guacamole, and sour cream — is the order most regulars steer you toward. Expect a roomy dining room and patio, frozen margaritas, and a weekend wait that tells you the locals still show up.

Terry Black's Barbecue
Austin
Terry Black's sits on Barton Springs Road in a barn-like space, where you'll order cafeteria-style at the counter, watching the pitmasters slice brisket by the pound straight off the butcher paper. It's worth arriving hungry and a little early, since the lines move steadily but the brisket and beef ribs can sell out before closing.

Corner Restaurant
Austin
Set in the JW Marriott on downtown Austin's 2nd Street, Corner Restaurant leans into all-day American dining, opening early for breakfast and staying open late at the bar. Its corner spot puts you within easy walking distance of the convention center and the bars and music venues just a few blocks over.

Caroline
Austin
Caroline is a downtown Austin all-day spot just off Congress Avenue, the kind of place you can drop into for coffee in the morning and still find humming with a dinner crowd late into the evening. Expect casual American plates and a relaxed, social atmosphere that leans more neighborhood hangout than formal restaurant.
