27 Most Iconic Austin Dishes

[Anastasis 23716]

Agree that a burger at Crown or Dan's needs to be on that list. 

[HookEm 2509]

How about:
- Spicy Fish from Asia Cafe on Spicewood Springs
- Chopped BBQ sandwich at Ruby's (before it closed)
- AYCE fried catfish at Catfish Parlour

The T-MAN/TURBO from Berts is pretty iconic in my book

The queso compuesto from El Arroyo fed me plenty of drunk nights so I'd add it to that list too

That is a GREAT nomination. 

[TXLNGHRN10 341]

I might also nominate the Rockin Ruthans from Maudies

[Deej 77804]

Deep dish Savage on whole wheat crust from Conan's. 

[CooterBrown 18287]

Strait Plate with eggs is the Maudie’s pro move.

pretty decent list.  makes me want to eat.   i would add the hippie chick at shady grove.

seconded.  I'd say the chips, salsa and creamy jalapeno ranch at Chuy's is iconic Austin.  Magnolia Mudd should get honorable mention.

That CFS from Hill's refers back to the 70s/80s yellow gravy Hill's and not current, right? 

[wd40 1976]

cheeseburger and fries at Crown&Anchor

Agreed -- as long as you opt for anchovies and jalapenos on said Savage.

[Deej 77804]

Always.

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

Agree with previous poster re: Top Notch. Either their Fried Chicken, Burgers, or Onion Rings (even though I'm not a fan of rings, personally). 

That restaurant just screams iconic Austin.

Fuck, now I want Top Notch.

Pretty good list, overall, though.

I didn't see the enchiladas from Enchiladas y Mas. I've lived here 43 years and they are some of my favorites. I would include a cheeseburger from Dan's and donuts from Mrs. Johnson's Bakery on the list. All in all it's a decent list.

[Brisketexan 106874]

A slice of Conan's Savage has to be on the list.
Angie's carnitas taco deserves to be on the list.

How about:
- Spicy Fish from Asia Cafe on Spicewood Springs
- AYCE fried catfish at Catfish Parlour

Fuck yes. To all of these.

I won’t rehash, but there are some great additions on this thread.

 

Having lived here for 20 years, a great sandwich, imo, was few and far between. I mean, a truly amazing sandwich. For me, that changed with fricano’s.

 

The Ainsworth was a sandwich that got me to enjoy ingredients that I swore I would never eat. And the surprise of it was like getting a grab bag at the baseball card shop as a kid.

 

Paul’s Reuben and The Jonah also get a nod for me. Regardless of the specific sandwich, Fricano’s is on my personal iconic Austin list.

Mrs. Johnson's donuts -- yep, they missed that one.

yep, creamy jalapeno.  

[RollLeft 5090]

Yes Dan's and Schlotzky's were founded in Austin damnit!

[Druggist 303]

Veracruz should be on the overrated list. Been there a few times and it was fine, nothing more.  Beef fajitas ranchero on Wednesday at Habaneros’s should be top 10. One of the best $8-9 plates of food in the city.

Also, the Roberto's breakfast plate at Habaneros...beef fajitas, beans, eggs. Goddamnright.
