BBQ

County Line - This is a very popular BBQ restaurant with multiple locations.  It could be considered a little less rustic than The Salt Lick or Iron Works but dress is still casual.  This is a popular lunch spot for co-workers to gather from the area tech companies.  Large groups using bus rentals in Austin Texas often take advantage of the group seating in County Line restaurants to make dining convenient.

 

The Salt Lick - The quintessential Texas BBQ dining experience.  This very rustic BBQ hall is located about 30 minutes south from downtown Austin.  It has nationwide fame for both it's food and atmosphere.  They can move a lot of meat to large groups who pile into the picnic table style seating throughout the two large halls that make up the dining areas.  Waiting isn't half bad either as patrons enjoy live music and can bring their own alcohol to ease the wait time.  That's right BYOB even if that means a keg right up next to your table.  Almost every large group that uses a bus rental in Austin Texas makes a stop at the Salt Lick.

 

Iron Works - It isn't cheap, but this rustic downtown BBQ joint serves up world class BBQ.  The beef ribs are huge and the flavor is incredible.  It's conveniently located near the convention center downtown and has a great atmosphere and outdoor patio.  Large groups that go to the convention center using bus rentals in Austin often make a lunch stop at Iron Works.  Parking is limited.

Tex-Mex

Chuy's - Experience an old diner style atmosphere with top notch Tex-Mex.  The prices are reasonable and the free salsa and ranch dip is excellent.  Parking can be challenging so large groups are encouraged to be dropped off by a bus rental in Austin Texas.  Try the Chuy's on Barton Springs Road as it is close to Barton Springs and there is a strip of quality restaurants all in a row.  It can be somewhat of a noisy dining experience so be prepared.

 

Guero's - Located just south of downtown Guero's is a local favorite.  It's upscale, but not fancy.  The food and margaritas are excellent.  Expect to pay a little more than other Tex-Mex joints and there is always a line on weekend nights but the wait is worth it.  Make Guero's a dinner stop when you travel via Austin bus rentals.

 

Maudie's - This cafe has multiple locations each with a different sort of style.  But regardless of the decorations the food is excellent and at a reasonable price.  Maudie's has a great breakfast selection in addition to lunch and dinner.  If you want your group to get a good taste of Tex-Mex then travel via bus rentals in Austin to one of the Maudie's restaurants.
