Walked into the restaurant at around 4:30pm, after 5 minutes of standing in the front of the restaurant no one came to greet me or seat my party so I went to the bar and waved at the gentleman cooking food, he then waved down some woman who approached me and said "I hear you're up here hollering" definitely not an appropriate way to greet a patron of your restaurant. I then asked if we could be seated outside, there wasn't a single clean table on the whole patio. They did clear a table and we were seated. The food was overpriced, bar food. Definitely wouldn't recommend and won't be back.
I do enjoy eating here, and the food is wonderful, but they seem to have alot of employees just standing. We were sat at a table that needed wiping off. And when we ask for more tea or a condiment it took longer than it should! So, with the place being very busy the employees standing around just looking should take it upon themselves to be wiping tables, carrying tea, coffee, water around to customers. Look at people's glasses and ask the waitresses how they can assist! I say this cause I've worked in the industry myself.
I ordered the lemon pepper wings this was my first visit. You could tell it had been very crowded I attended a birthday party I arrived really late but but the people in party Said they have been waiting an hour to be seated. They waited additional time for everyone orders to be taken. They said they'll arrived at 6:00 p.m. to secure a table. I arrived at 8:45 pm. Thinking everyone would have been through with their meals but orders had just been placed. The crowd had thinned out. My lemon pepper wings were okay. A of the people in the party had issues with their food. One baked potato was black inside. When our friend showed it to the waitress she act like she couldn't see it and copped an attitude. My friend opened up the potato to show the young lady and she began to go back and forth with our friend and then said okay calm down when our friend was perfectly calm our friends spoke in a low voice and did not get loud or ugly with the waitress. Our friend also ordered this huge sandwich. She said the sandwich was dry bread was hard as a rock. The other young lady ordered some type of brussel sprout and was very excited to try it. She said that it was very bitter awful and someone just threw it together. We pressed on to celebrate our dear friends birthday. Everyone's food looked really great so I definitely will return to try some other dishes.
Steak was cooked to perfection!! Green beans were the fresh flat ones that some one snapped to be cooked! Waiter and staff were great! Highly recommend!
I will have to say the Salmon was absolutely wonderful. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest I know salmon and I'm very picky. I would suggest Austin salmon any day. It was very nice to have the patio option. The service was exceptional.
Great service!! Super menu variety!! Reasonable prices!! Good location!
Viewing the list of restaurants from our hotel had the usual suspects, but one restaurant name stood out. Austin’s Firegrill and Oyster Bar had a most interesting varied menu. The pricing was good for the food, check. The interior vibe is ok, pretty bare bones, patrons were obviously happy and loud. The four of us were very happy with our restaurant selection because our service was good and our food very good. Shredded chicken plate+2 sides excellent. Sliced brisket plate also comes with two sides and was moist and delicious. Two types of Austin’s bar b q sauce offered were so good. My friend wanted to eat the sauce as an appetizer. I had the skirt steak tacos, (small flour tortillas) with blue cheese, balsamic glaze and french fried onion rings. (Includes one side, I chose broccoli, it was perfectly steamed.) We were from northern AL and probably will not be in the area again anytime soon, however if you are nearby try Austin’s. I hope you like it as much as we did.
Waited over 30 minutes for our food! Beef Medallion Salad contained NO medallions, only 2 very, very small pieces of steak. Very disappointing for the price and description. Husbands 2 chicken tacos were ok. Server performed tasks with awkward timing. Not sure if we will go back.
We enjoyed a delicious meal, grouper tacos and brisket with side dishes. They have a wide variety of drinks and we had a very friendly and nice server. This was recommended from our hotel. They also have a nice outdoor seating area! I would highly recommend it!
Perfect place, love the oysters and the man who helped us did really well, he was just working there for a week so shout out to him ❤️
