Chick-fil-a

Having a Chick-fil-a in Georgetown is amazing. And dangerous. I could eat here every day. Anyway, it's hard to review a place who's food is the same at every place, but it's worth pointing out that this location has consistently provided me with friendly and warm service. Very nice people, who always greet you with a smile. Both drive-through and dine-in speed are great, even during the lunch hour rush.

Another lunch-time adventure that I really liked. I like the concept of mongolian bbq and enjoy being able to build by own meal. Genghis has fresh ingredients, and a wide selection of veggies, meats, and seasons to add. When I was there, they were pretty busy, but I was impressed with how fast I got my food. Service over all was friendly, and pricing was fair (about $10/person). I'm sure I'll be back for lunch again!

Tip to SU community: They take Pirate Bucks.

Checked this place out for lunch this past week, and was pleased. Sort of surprised to see the cafeteria style, but it didn't deter me from looking forward to my meal. The portions are plentiful, and will leave most with some leftovers. The food is very authentic, and I appreciate that this place diversifies Georgetown's restaurant categories.

It should also be said that the staff was very friendly, and patient (we had trouble pronouncing one of the dishes). Their welcoming attitude definitely made a nice impression. I look forward to seeing them next time.

Went here on a Friday night with my husband, and looked forward to an enjoyable meal. We had never been here before, and enjoyed the architectural and decorating aspects of the restaurants. I loved the high ceilings, and "lodge" feel. Perfect for the days when fall arrives.

It took a little bit of time to get service, but I think that's because our table was hidden behind the fireplace/large stone pillar. Once our waiter arrived, he was attentive and friendly. Our food arrive quickly, and was tasty. I enjoyed a pasta dish with shrimp, and my husband had the prime rib. One surprise: the menu was more seafood heavy then I expected.

Overall, I had a nice time, but did think their prices may be a little high. I can get similar meals at other places for about $20 less. Anyway, it won't stop me from returning, but it probably won't be somewhere I go regularly.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I understand the dislike of this place. I went here for the first time last night, and had a great. We met up with some new coworkers for drinks and dinner on the front patio. The weather was great, and I enjoyed soaking up the people walking by.

Our service was not what I'd call speedy, and definitely carried a laid back attitude. If you're the kind of person who wants to get in and out of a dining experience, do not go here. This restaurant assumes patrons want to leisurely dine with friends, and spend time soaking up the South Congress atmosphere.

The food was what I expected. Good queso, and quality ingredients in every dish. Margaritas were small, but did the trick. I'd love to go back and experience the inside dining area - it seemed as lively and fun as the outdoor seating.

Monument Cafe

Ahh, I ***love*** this place. My first (and only, up until last week) experience at Monument was at their former location. I was excited to check out the new place, and thrilled to see they lost no charm. Everything is the same, but doubled in size. And they need it! Definitely a full house!

As expected, they served up a delicious bowl of chicken tortilla soup, accompanied by a fresh salad and warm rolls. Hands down, their lemonade is the best. Ever. Fresh squeezed, served in a stainless steal canister and a cup of ice. [drooling...]

Anyway, I plan to come here often and order everything on the menu at least once. I also plan to check out their market (I hear it's coming soon!).

Checked this place out on a recommendation of a friend. They have an extensive menu, and offer a lot of diverse dishes. I thought the spring rolls were good (and big!), but not the best. I tried the basil chicken fried rice - not something I'd order again but was tasty. Service was friendly and quick, and over-all price was great for the amount of food on the plate. Definitely will come back - there's a few other dishes I want to try.

A friend suggested this place for lunch recently, and I am glad to have learned about it! They have a diverse menu, offering many flavors as well as rice or noodle options. I chowed down on the teriyaki chicken dish, and sipped on iced green tea (yum!). I hope to have lunch here again some time, and try one of the other choices.

Bonus for the Southwestern community: Pirate Bucks accepted here.

Went here for the first time last week, and enjoyed a great lunch of mahi mahi taco salad. It was flavorful and fresh, and definitely hit the spot. Our server was friendly, and did a great job keeping our drinks refilled.

This place is obviously a hot spot, as it filled up during the noon hour (on a Tuesday). Get there early if you don't want to wait!

I just moved to NW Austin and have been here twice. The first time I used the drive thru and everything went smooth. Great service, great coffee. My second visit was to get some beans ground up and grab a cup of joe (I had yet to buy coffee filters). The woman behind the counter was friendly, and the service was quick. Definitely will continue to come her as I settle into the area.
