My wife and I are going to see Aziz Ansari on Wednesday at the Paramount Theater, and we're looking for a place to eat before the show. Something moderately priced, and not too fancy since we won't be formally dressed. Type of food doesn't matter, as long as its good! And if its within walking distance to the theater, that would be a plus. I'd like to only have to park once. Thanks in advance

There is literally no where in Austin that you HAVE to be dressed nice for. Having jeans on puts you ahead of most in this town...

That being said, try Roaring Fork

Silhouette Sushi isn't bad and probably has a deal on Wednesday Nights. Then of course there is Roaring Fork.

Roaring Fork and Gumbo's are within walking distance and a little more upscale.

If you want cheap, a Subway and Chipotle (no Freebird's... sorry) are close too.

Thanks guys, think we're going to check out Roaring Fork.

Also, define walking distance... if you open yourself up to 4 or 5 blocks way, there's a bunch...

Bess and Ranch 616 are about 6 blocks away.

Big Ass Burger at Roaring Fork

Also, green chile mac and cheese at RF

Annie's Cafe & Bar at 3rd and Congress is good, and partly owned by an Aggie (or an Aggie's wife).

I went to Quattro Gatti last night. Good Italian food.

Texas Chili Parlor on Lavaca. Good stuff!
