Best Casual Restaurants in Central Austin

Restaurant Review: A Culinary Delight From the moment we walked in, this restaurant exceeded expectations with its impeccable service and warm atmosphere. The highlight of the evening was the perfectly cooked steak—expertly seared on the outside and tender on the inside, with every bite bursting with flavor. The true surprise, however, was the jalapeño corn brûlée. This creative twist on a classic dish was a perfect balance of sweetness and spice, with a delicate caramelized crust that added a satisfying texture. It was the kind of dish that you savor slowly, hoping it never ends. The thoughtful presentation and flawless execution of the meal made for an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you’re a steak lover or simply someone who appreciates innovative side dishes, this restaurant is a must-visit. I’ll certainly be returning!

Great food and service in a lovely spot! Def would go back!

We have been to Sammie’s several times with friends and EVERYTIME, our experience is excellent. We take friends whenever in town for them to enjoy as well. Food is just superb and we love the vibe as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Only complaint is it’s a tad pricy!

Server was proactive, attentive without being overly so, and the view was very enjoyable. Got slightly loud when the doors to the exterior came down, but nothing unusual for a Saturday night. Busy without being too crowded. Staff was pleasant from start to finish.

I like this place and staff was great too, but my steak and frites came out both cold, barely warm. It was still tasty though but not what I expected for the cost. I really didn’t have time to send it back just pushed through cold meat and frites lol
