Parkside

I got the crab cake sandwich with fries and amazingly good! They didn't have the martini I liked but concocted something even better than expected---peach based. Fries were yummy. The server was attentive considering it was really a busy time at the airport. Clean, Crowded but expected. A reasonable food stop when hungry before your flight!

Food - 2Service - 3Atmosphere- 3Burger/bar inside Austin airport. Burger lacking in flavor is probably why they only offer cheeseburgers. The burger was cooked correctly. I wanted tomato only and it came with lettuce and onions. Fryer was down so french fries were not available so they offered 3 flavors of potato chips. I wasn't in a hurry so the slower service was acceptable.

The waitress was good, however the food was disappointing! We had the Migas Fries off their breakfast menu. I didn't see one piece of tomato on it and if there was cilantro they chopped it so fine that it was unrecognizable. They also didn't have salsa to go on it. (Who serves anything Migas related without salsa?). The only good thing about it was a piece of garlic that I bit into. Overall pretty bland!

I had an early flight this morning so I sat down to order some breakfast. I was probably sitting for 5 minutes before I even saw a server but I ordered the Greek yogurt parfait. The parfait itself was fine. Nothing special, very bare bones but oh my gosh it was tinyyy. I ate it in probably 3 minutes and it was $10 . The server also was not very friendly. Not the best experience.

Oh man...this was BAD. The chicken sandwich was grey and cold and the bacon was clearly undercooked. I'm not the guy to send something back but I had to. The waitstaff even suggested, "are you sure? It looks fine."They didn't apologize or even try to make it right. They wanted to charge regardless. I was in a rush so I ordered a burger that was cold. I miss the old Parkside downtown. They would have never served something like this.

Fries are seasoned with Texas heat in mind. I didn't want the heaviness of a bun before a flight so a lettuce wrap was just the ticket. Service is weird because the kitchen isn't attached but the food still comes out hot.

Gayle and I had a couple hour layover @AUS, and first tried to access the Chase Sapphire Lounge. As that establishment didn't open until 10 AM, we wandered downstairs to Parkside for coffee (me), a Bloody Mary (Gayle) and a shared granola/yogurt dish. CONS- Service was a bit slow and we did need to go up front to get our check. +/-- Our shared granola/yogurt dish was just OK. - Limited breakfast menu. PROS- Nice Ambiance- Friendly server who provided separate dishes for our share. - Decent coffee and an enjoyable Bloody Mary.

Very disappointing. Nice ambience but at noon during the holiday week, they were out of most local beers, breakfast was not available and even 1 of the only 4 sandwiches wasn't available. AND the charcuterie board was on the menu but "not available yet."We had a coffee and left. Not a repeater for me.

We decided not to eat here after our shrimp cocktail arrived. I've never had such chewy shrimp to the point that we are all now nervous we are going to have food poisoning. The server was very kind, and we don't blame the service. But that, in addition to the fact that they were unable to serve french fries (which made up at least 15% of their very limited menu) made it a restaurant I would not recommend to anyone.

This place is at the very end near the first few gates. The bartenders were all very nice here as well as attentive when I was here in May of 2023. I did not eat the food, just had a beer here. The prices for drinks and food, however, are outrageous. You're trapped here and the cost of food and drinks isn't any cheaper elsewhere in this airport, so whatcha' gonna do?
