I am eating a beef sandwich from Joe's as I type. As a connoisseur of Italian beef sandwiches I wonder where this place has been hiding my whole life. It's probably a good thing because I most likely would have died by now. Amazing!!!

    This bakery is one of the hidden gems in the city. Fresh baked bread daily. The pastries are some the best I've ever had. They have tray pizza that is out of this world. Just like in Italy.Get there early before they are all sold out or closed.

I have lived near here for almost 3 years & just discovered this place about 3 months ago, I've been back about 8 times. Everything here is amazing and is priced well. The staff is super friendly all of the time. Go here & eat if you can. You won't be disappointed.

I'll give it 2 stars for the menu & beer selection. The fries were good. The fish sandwich that I waited over an hour for because the dimwitted bartender was too busy talking to girls when they weren't even that busy was just OK. What killed it was that this place turns into a meat market after 10 PM. The yelper that said this was a Jersey Shore wannabee hangout hit the nail on the head. We were enjoying our beers at the bar when we were notified by a bouncer that they would be taking our stools away in 5 minutes. What kind of a bar owner let's that kind of stuff happen? On their website the concept is supposed to be a place that "shuns" the scene. Not so, if anything they try to create a scene & it's not a very welcoming one if you are trying to enjoy some drinks & eats with your friends. Good beer selection, ok food & some of the WORST customer service I've ever encountered. The owner(s) should be embarrassed.

Overall the food was pretty darn good. The Classic Shawerma sandwich had a unique blend of spices but the meat was a little fatty. Amazing Hummus & Baba Ghannouj. I'll go again to try some other tasty delights.

I've eaten here a couple of times & have not been disappointed. There may be better burger places in Austin but I'm an out of towner that really enjoys a good burger. I approve.

I eat here at least once a week being so close to my office. Everything is fresh & the meat quality is top notch. I will put these tacos up against any place in the city & I've tried a ton of places. They are definitely better than Pasadita & some of the other award winners in the city. Go there & you'll be impressed.

This place has nice looking sweets, but the atmosphere could be better.   My wife & I went here tonight & the young girl working behind the counter was SO rude it wasn't even funny.  We stopped by earlier in the evening to see what kind of desserts they had since we planned on stopping in after we ate dinner down the street.  My wife peeked her head around the corner to see if they had a dining area, but before she could even say anything the girl behind the counter snapped, "We don't have any public restrooms."  It was just kind of odd, because we hadn't said anything about needing to use the bathroom.  It was just off putting and she was unfriendly.  We said, "Oh, that's o.k.  We'll be back later for dessert. Bye. "  This place is supposed to close at 8 & we went in at  10 minutes to 8 to get one cup of coffee and a brownie. The girl obviously wanted to leave early because she told us they were out of coffee when there were large bags of it for sale everywhere. The coffee is the last thing that you shut down when closing a coffee shop. She obviously doesn't care about her job since she was so rude the two times we stopped in.  At this point I was just tired and we didn't buy the brownie or anything.  I hope that the owner of Sensational Bites reads this.  The staff really sets the tone and we won't be going back here.
