any restaurants/bars I need to see?

(EDIT: I'll be)Staying between Palmer & Yager near tech ridge center.

Thanks!

in the immediate area? no, but if you are willing to drive up or down I-35 a little bit.

Staying north, hit up Brotherton's BBQ in pflugerville and Greenhouse Craft Food in RR. Jack Allen's in RR is always solid as well. If you don't want to drive/uber to downtown Austin, there are a number of bars in downtown RR. Its not Rainey Street or anything, but its not bad.

some decent options at the domain also. Sway is good thai

I agree with everything OO posted esp Greenhouse.

And I'll add Ross's Cafe on North Lamar

Launderette
Sour Duck
Loro
40 North
Din Ho Chinese BBQ
Kemuri Tatsu-Ya

No particularly close but all good

Din Ho isn't that good. Spend your time and money at Ramen Tatsu-ya.

Go to Thai-kun over sway if doing Thai at domain. Significantly better.

i try to avoid the domain at all cost. its such a cluster.

Stiles Switch and Michi Ramen are across the street from each other and neither is too far from where OP is staying. Plus, black star co-op is right there too...and if you want to see some boobies, yellow rose.

Maybe OP doesn't live in a place where he can gaze at $30k millionaires and other ******bags while enjoying the second or third rendition of restaurants that started in cooler parts of Austin

Ha, that's funny I'd have the same comment if someone post Ramen Tatsuya. Din Ho is a little overhyped now but Ramen Tatsuya is way over hyped. Both still good meals though. I like Tan My Restaurant as well for Noodles

Xian has the best noodles in Austin, and its in a strip center in Mueller

Uchi... worth the drive

But is it with the cost? I say yes

if we are talking Ramen, Michi is my go to.

Absolutely

Wings N More is just up at howard, Baby A's up there too. Head up parmer to mopac and check out opal divine's. Just listing based on proximity to your location

We've been trying to favor the Austin Wings N More location every once in a while, but it is always dirty, and the service is horrid. The food many times is cold, as a result of the servers doing anything but their job. It used to be better, when it first opened.

Now, we've gotten to where we won't really eat there much, and we just bide our time until we get back to B/CS to eat at any one of the W&Ms there.

Also, avoid Freebirds in Round Rock near the outlet mall. They skimp you on everything portion-wise. It's really the only Freebirds I have ever been to, where they do that. It doesn't make sense, to have to pay for extra meat there, to get the same amount as other Freebirds gives normally, so I just quit going.

If you head East on Parmer, to 290 and go into Manor, you will see a diner on the right that is good.

Can't go wrong with Aggie owned Stiles Switch!!!

Going again, & staying west of Mopac on stone lake blvd.
Is that too close to campus?

Stonelake Blvd is nowhere close to campus.

Roaring Fork and North by Northwest are in that area and good dinner options.

ETA: much better location for business travel. Prime cougar habitat at RF and over at the Arboretum.

Hit up the domain, you are just across mopac. Rock rose is fun

What is going on this week?
Rate jumps $50 on Wednesday/Thursday.
I saw No basketball or baseball on the schedule.

Michelle Obama at the Erwin center?

SXSW starts the 8th.
Never thought about checking that schedule.

Yes, SXSW and the rodeo both fire up around this time in March, and everything in town becomes madness!
