If you like Bacon, this is a great place for brunch, or any meal, really. They typically have at least three different bacons to choose from. Also close to the grafitti park and dirt bike jump park.

Ramen so good they did a Vice video on it. You will not regret this stop. Line may seem daunting but moves quick. Go early or at odd times to beat the line.

My favorite ramen in Austin. The Miso ramen is amazing. They always have a fun soft serve ice cream flavor. Small restaurant not recommended for large parties: 4 max.

Entertainment & Activities

It's raining, your hungry, and you want someone to serve you beer and food while you catch the latest release. This theater chain takes moving watching very seriously. It will be the quietest, most enjoyable movie theater experience you will ever find. Arrive 30 minutes before show time and catch the custom show they put together of odd and humerus clips related to the movie you are about to see. Late arrivals are not seated as to not distract the audience.
