FOOD! Oh my gosh I'm always hungry, I can't even handle it. I get so hungry that I get angry. I get hangry very quickly and it is taken out on everyone around me. GOOD THING THAT AUSTIN TEXAS HAS SOME OF THE BEST FOOD PLACES EVER. Here, I will provide you with a very extensive list that me and some friends have compiled. Most of these places are very unique to Austin and their food can quite possibly bring you to another dimension.
1) KERBEY LANE CAFE
You knew I was going to say it. I had to say it. Kerbey Lane is a quirky little place and has 6 locations in Austin. It is my go-to place because it's open 24/7 and has the best queso in the world<---not being dramatic.

2) HAYMAKER
Want a Texas burger or gourmet sandwich? This place has kindof like a garage/barn feel to it. It has a full bar with all the Texas drafts. Darts, billiards, shuffle board, it's the whole package.
3) TORCHY'S TACOS
This is home to Austin's best tacos. <---- well....a lot of places are competing for that title but Torchy's is definitely in the running. Their menu has a taco that fits your personality. The names for the tacos are fun, bold, and could spark some heated debates. Check it out!

4) PINT HOUSE PIZZA HOUSE
Picnic style dining. Super amazing fantastic pizza. Beer. Sports. Frogger. Pizza.
5) HOME SLICE
Pizza. I really love pizza. This place is on South Congress in the middle of all things Austin. The pizza is to die for.<----exaggeration....but it is worth doing something mildly dangerous for.
6) COVER 3
It's got a sporty feel to it but the food is pretty high end. The lighting is low and the atmosphere feels very modern and cozy. It has burgers, fish, steak and more. Get the parmesan fries as an appetizer! They are so good!
7) MOZART'S
This is a cozy outdoor, indoor, upstairs, downstairs, on deck, off deck coffee house. They have gourmet pastries, cakes, and other stuff. Whether you're looking for a peaceful place to study or somewhere to look at the beautiful lake with some friends. This place also has a wonderful Christmas light show during the season and has the best hot chocolate!
8) CHERRYWOOD
Another amazing coffee shop and restaurant. Cozy atmosphere and a beautiful view.
9) HULA HUT
Wanna relax with some fun drinks and food on the water? This is the place to go.

This place is built with a Spanish architecture to it. It's small, has lots of arched doorways, and the staff is full of spunk. The coffee is amazing and their food is perfection.
