Best Family Style Restaurants in South Austin

Always have a great experience at Peacock. The food, service and ambiance never disappoints.

J.Carvers is always a hit and an awesome dining experience. Food, service, and vibe were 10/10 as always. Highly recommend booking the bar if you have a smaller party size. I always look forward to coming back!

What a memorable night! It was worth the wait of having to make a reservation months in advance. We dined on a Friday evening and there was such a synergy to the entire restaurant. Even the Chef on expo looked so at ease with tickets flying in, he stopped and said hi to a smiling baby. Our server Kevin made us feel welcomed and as if we were the only table he was serving, just flawless. The steak cut like butter, it was perfect and highly recommend. The gnocchi reminded me of the last time I was in Italy, just delicious fluffy pillows. Our 9 year old had the Bolognese and it was bursting with flavor which was unexpected but delightful. We also had the meatballs and garlic bread, a perfect way to start the meal. Save room for dessert, you will not be disappointed. The only criticism was that our table was by the entry door and it was drafty and cold. I had to keep my jacket on during dinner, but other than that we look forward to returning in March!

The food was absolutely amazing. Our server to wonderful. She was spot on with several menu suggestions. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated. The bar is really stunning as well.

This was our second time eating here, and it was so much better than I remember (and I remember falling in love with the food)! Our server was so kind and helpful, the food was phenomenal -we got the ceviche, Jamaican bread and cheese, pepperpot and roti on the side- and the drinks were amazing (the First Dance is my favorite cocktail all time). I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you want to try a new cuisine that you don’t see in every city!
