Others can chime in on their favorites, but let me direct you to my favorite Austin restaurant resource. The discussion page on chowhound for Austin.

Austin - Chowhound

Also, you might find the Austin Chronicle's "best of" guide on the web.

My favorite is Uchi, because that's the place that makes my wife happiest. My second favorite is Taqueria Arandas because I like cheap Mexican.

Azul Tequila (Interior Mexican to rival Fonda San Miguel, at a third the price, and pretty darned good TexMex, too). I also second Taqueria Arandas.

Louisiana Longhorn for Louisiana cooking.

Chez Nous for French family cooking.

What do you like to eat? That might help.

Since you have "Cookie" as part of your name, you might like the Cookie Lounge on West Campus (next to Pluckers). They'll make a custom cookie for you while you wait. I definitely recommend it as long as you're ready to spend about $3 or so on a cookie. Pluckers is actually a pretty good local chain as well if you want to catch a game with the family while you eat.

best eats
Can mean several different things...best food regardless of prices? Best deal (price vs product)? Or the place that you just really enjoy even though the food may not be exquisite?

For a variety of reasons, we end up at Galaxy Cafe and/or Cypress Grill more than any place else. Both are very laid back, and may not be your thing, or may not even be in your area.

Eastside Cafe- Fantastic brunch spot with a great feel to place and nice fresh ingrediants.

Bueno's Aries Cafe- Authentic food, with a homey feel!!

South Congress Cafe- GREAT posole and divine salads.

Salad Bars at Central Market and Whole Foods are to be eaten if you love a good salad.

I like to eat anything that taste wonderful! I just returned from Paris and I have to say that the food is great so maybe I will try Chez Nous, thanks!

Sounds like a fun place to go... don't mind spending $3 on a delicious, fresh, warm and extra large cookie!
