Star Seeds Cafe - With a great diner feel this place makes some amazing food. The best part is that this place is open 24hrs. The food is very cheap and you get alot too! Like any place in Austin it is a great place to people watch. Ya gotta love that "Keep Austin Weird" motto that holds true to its residents but I love these people and I would kill to live here. Anyways, Star Seeds makes some really great food and the service is awesome too!

Threadgill's - This is one of my favorite places to eat in Austin. I love the atmosphere of the place. This is what the Hard Rock Cafe wishes they could be. There are photos and memorabilia all over the place and tons of it comes from the artist that have played there. Oh yeah! Forgot to mention that Threadgill's has concerts there too. I highly recommend the Threadgill's on the south side. The food is outstanding and everything taste very fresh and homemade. This is a must when staying in Austin

Home Slice Pizza - This is one of my favorite places for pizza in Austin. Its located in the trendy and Bohemian area of South Congress also known as "SoCo" As you look North you see straight up the steps of the State Capitol building. But enough about the surrounding, how about that pizza? Well this place is known for it. You can either grab a table inside or side on the side walk and order from the window. The don't have a real closing time until people stop coming. Austin is full of great pizza like Hoek's Pizza and Roppolos but I still highly recommend Home Slice Pizza

Honorable Mentions:
Casino El Camino - Most awesome burgers ever! Yea the cook is a dick but trust me the food is worth it. He may be Austin's version of the Soup Nazi but his burgers are amazing. This place has been featured on the Food Networks, Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. The burgers are all cooked to order and trust me they are big. Order up a Lonestar and enjoy!

Magnolia Cafe - Ahh back in "SoCo". No matter what time it is this place is always packed! This is another place featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Granted I wasn't all that impressed with this place but the food is good. The atmosphere and the staff make this a fun place too. I think I had heard so much about this place and it had been so built up to me and it made me expect so much. The food was good. I am not the biggest pancake fan but the buttermilk banana pancakes were pretty awesome even as leftovers the next day. This is also a 24hr spot so that's always a plus in the middle of a drinking session down 6th St.

The Oasis - Wow this place is amazing! Well the atmosphere and the views anyways. While the food is mediocre and a little on the pricey side this is a very romantic place for a sunset dinner. Atop a high mountain over looking Lake Travis rest the Oasis. This place is huge! I believe its four stories high and a huge wooden deck great for the summer time. I would recommend this to couples looking for something romantic or friends getting together for drinks and appetizers. Either way I think everyone should make a stop here just to check it out.

Stubb's BBQ - Almost forgot about this one. If you want some real Texas BBQ then you have to make a stop at Stubb's. Located at the corner of 8th & Red River this place is making some of the best BBQ around. Everything has that home grilled tasted and tops it off with Stubb's own famous BBQ sauce. I highly recommend this place for everyone. This place is also a concert venue. Some really big acts play here. Metallica made a special surprise performance at this years SXSW here at Stubb's. So stop by Stubb's and chow down. Ya never know who might pop in.
