10 Unassuming Restaurants To Add To Your Austin Dining Bucket List
We all know that Austin is a hub for scrumptious, delicious, and melt-in-your-mouth food. Whether you’re craving spicy tacos or juicy burgers, the Capital City has the best of the best. Not all restaurants come decked out with ornate decor or flashy signs, however. Some places don’t need excessive advertising. These ten unassuming restaurants should be at the top of your Austin dining bucket list.


Located at 11800 N Lamar Blvd, Balkan Cafe and Grill will wake up your taste buds. If you've never had Balkan food, you'll flip over these scrumptious flavors. Try their cevapi. You've never had kebabs like these.


With locations at 2304 Lake Austin Blvd and 1920 S. Congress Ave, you're never too far away from home-cooked greatness. Their tacos and pasta are pure bliss, but you must try their pancakes. At Magnolia Cafe, you can eat breakfast all day long.


Dive into the authentic Texas flavors at the Texas Chili Parlor. Located at 1409 Lavaca, this unassuming restaurant is a local staple.

You can get any kind of Pan Asian food at any hour at 2400 E Oltorf. 888 Pan Asian Restaurant is open 24-hours, so you can get those dumplings whenever you crave them.


Tucked away in South Austin at 321 W Ben White, Bender Bar and Grill is the ultimate hangout spot. With Monday's pasta night, 50 cent wings on Tuesday, and $2 tacos on Thursday, you will want to come every night of the week.


The Drag near the University of Campus is always bustling with hungry students. Thankfully, Fricano's Deli at 2405 Nueces Street knows how to please any palate. The grilled paninis will instantly make your day 10 times better.
