Five Four Restaurant & Drafthouse

Went to watch the football game on a Sunday morning. Brice was a great bartender and who welcomes us right away! We enjoyed the abundance of tap options and my husband and I shared the Tequila Wrappers from the Munchie menu! They were delicious and a great amount to share! I love extra crunch so may order them crispy next time to step it up but they were definitely not not crispy. I definitely want to go back and try more food! They have an amazing Happy Hour menu and Dinner For Two deals!Parking: They have a good sized parking lot with accessibility. Bathrooms: Beautiful! They paid attention to the details when designing the whole establishment and did not leave out the restrooms! Overall Feel: Clean, comfortable and options for any occasion from sitting at the bar to watch sports or having a nice meal with friends or family!

First and foremost, the Prime Rib French Dip sandwich was out of this world!!! I could drink the sauce it was that good. The avocado burger was great too - I appreciated how much avocado they actually put on the burger. The painkiller was great and I loved the champagne margarita. Full disclosure, I'm a big fan of champagne so I loved how light and refreshing it was, but my boyfriend (who is indifferent on champagne) said it tasted like a "sparkling margarita" so if you like champagne, you'll most likely dig the combo. Staff was really nice too! Looking forward to coming back for a reverse happy hour one day! (9-11 PM everyday)

The service was very good. Attentive. Orders were correct. Couldn't have been better. The food was good. Country fried steak was tasty and correct temperature. Mashed potatoes and onion rings were tasty but not hot. The biscuit was not hot, and was a bit stodgy (it was the only thing I did not eat) I don't recommend the fried cheese appetizer. Portion was quite small. Soft drinks, 2 apps, and meal for 6 was $200 with tip.

Well I wasn't expecting much since it was late, we were starved and it's bar food ... BUT pleasingly surprised!!! Very balanced menu, they have reverse happy hour so we were happy with that being 9:30 pm! I got their fresh veggie burger which I'd never would have thought of but the description was so intriguing. Very flavorful combination with some pickled onion that were a yummy departure from the usual raw red. I also got their fresh veggie brisket baked beans as my side. It REALLY hit the spot ! I'd come back for sure. Nice attentive staff . Good beer & cocktail selections. Def will return!

Champagne margarita OMG - amazing!! The food and drinks were all great. We came out to celebrate and celebrate we did. The bartender made our night so much more fun with all the attention! As soon as you walk in you feel the vibe and you know it's gonna be a great night!

Decent spot for a quick meal. We sat at the bar, and there were plenty of bartenders and servers offering to help, which made for fast and efficient service. The portion sizes were generous, and the food was good--not amazing, but solid for a casual bite. The ambiance was actually pretty nice for what it was--considering the affordable prices, I wouldn't have expected it to be as well-kept and inviting inside. Overall, a good option if you're in the area and want something quick and reasonably priced.

54th Street Grill is a chain following the formula of a Chili's or a BJ's Brewhouse.Chili's has completely fallen apart on every possible measure of quality.This allows a lot of space for competitors to move in.54th Street Grill is making the most of this.BJ's has not at all fallen apart ...But the BJ's in the Austin area are few and far between.The one I went to was far below the standards of BJ's nationally.So there is totally room for a good national bar and grill chain to claim space for itself in the Austin metro area.This is particularly the case in the farther reaches of Austin and the suburbs.Central Austin has too many yuppies who are allergic to chains - even if the local establishments they hang out at are not very good.(I'm talking to YOU, Little Woodrow's and Pinthouse Pizza!) In Pflugerville and Southpark-Meadows-land, No one is afraid that they will have their Keep-Austin-Weird card taken away if they go to a chain restaurant.So if the chain offers a nice room, good food and something decent to drink, people will just patronize the establishment and not worry about the indie-business-police.I like a good chain, so I am kind of with the exurbanites here.* * *That said, how does 54th street compare with the other bar and grill chains?Just being clean gives 54th Street a huge advantage over Chili's.On 54th Street vs BJ's,Think of 54th St as a simpler but still solid version of BJs.No homemade beers - which is a good thing since BJ's homemade beers s***.Not very many whiskeys and not very many cocktail choices.But they have the basics - so you can get a margarita or an espresso martini and do okay.If it was a drinking night at 54, I would get one of the beers on tap.All of their beers are standard brands - but the standard brands are nice enough.They got house wine if you are a rose all day girl.* * *The menu is smaller than that at BJ'sThere are two soup choices and not five soup choices.There are two dessert choices and not five dessert choices.There are lots of burger choices.They have ribs.They have a number of big everything-and-the-kitchen-sink salads.They have wings, steaks, and deep fried bar food.You can basically get what you want to eat ...But you don't get eight variations on any particular item.Execution is solid.I had a bacon cheeseburger with everything on itand a salad with lots of stuff thrown on the top.I was happy to have what I had.* * *The spirit of menu limitation applies to the TVs.They have screens everywhere you can look.The screens were mostly covering one of two games.They were good games.Stanford beat Wisconsin at Women's Basketball. The wrong side won but it was a close well played game. On the other screen I was watching, the Phillies and the Blue Jays were playing a real nail biter.If I REALLY did not want to watch one of these two games, there was the occasional odd TV screen with NFL replays from last year.* * *The people working there are super super nice.I had reason to interact with four or five of them.Everyone I talked to was an angel.A few knocked themselves out to go the extra mile.(I needed a place to recharge my phone. Two ladies went all over the restaurant until they could find my perfect seat.)The furnishings are BJ's caliber.One of the strengths of BJ's is the very very nice decorating.Probably, nothing is super expensive - but the place looks and feels deluxe the way a city club feels deluxe.I unwind every time I go into a BJ's.I had the same automatic unwinding feeling here.* * * You get the idea.The solid kitchen and nice room of a BJ's.Fewer choices but most of the things that most people would want to order.For a solid pleasant American bar and grill, 54th Street will do you.If previously, you had been putting up with the squalor that is Chili's,54th Street has just come to save your life.

Waiter was friendly, patience and always check on us to see how was our food. Our food weren't bad, fries taste better than waffle, I had little appretize one if they had cheese mozzarellas.I had Reuben sandwich, good taste!! But I didn't like margarita very sour.

Went for Happy hour. Sat in the bar area. Prices for the appetizers were incredible. It was our first time there so we sampled many including the Crab Cakes, spinachand artichoke dip, and fried mushrooms .My favorite was the smash burger. The drinks from the bar were delicious as well. The restaurant was a nice place for all of us to get together for a great girls night out. Can't wait to go back

Get on the list. Party of 5, booth fits at least 6.They send you an automated text saying your table will be ready in 5 minutes. You walk into the restaurant. Stand at the front for 30 minutes. There's 3 open booths and your told your table still isn't ready. This was the second chance at 54 because the first time we came the food was bland and not good. Avoid this place unless you want a frustrating evening. Ended up leaving after 45 mins. Got to a different restaurant, ordered drinks, and then finally got the text our table was ready...what a joke
