Hyde Park Bar and Grill
4206 Duval Street- Austin, Texas - 78751
Much like the neighborhood, Hyde Park Bar and Grill is a laid back and unpretentious place. Located a few miles from downtown and the University of Texas, the location is ideal and convenient. The competition for your lunch/dinner money is intense here with Mothers and Asti in the same vicinity. But despite the nearby competition, HP B&G is almost always the most crowded because it is the most consistent with its offerings. Their food is served fast from a friendly, knowledgeable, and professional staff who seem to know the just the right times to be at the table. The menu is full of items that could be singled out for distinction, but their signature dish, the Horseshoe Burger, is their best by far. For the hungriest of appetites, it’s a half pound burger served open faced covered with fries, a special sauce, and all the trimmings. Another exceptional dish is the Yellow fin tuna sandwich; the fish is done very well and should be ordered with the blackened seasoning. On a negative note, we recommend staying away from the stir fry, while not terrible; it definitely isn’t worth the 35 minute wait that you endure just to get a table. After a long wait, you really owe it to yourself to get the Horseshoe. The layout and ambience are ideal for both small groups of friends and a date with someone special. Plan on making reservations or the wait could be up to 35 minutes to get a table on an average night.
I give it a B+
