Austin has plenty of great memorable places to eat. As you are in Texas, it’s probably not surprising that many of the restaurants serve either Texas Barbecue or Texas/Mexican cuisine. Being the live music capital of the world, many restaurants also feature live music. Since many of the finest places in Austin serve Barbecue, casual dining attire is not only allowed, but encouraged!
