Lou’s Barton Springs, like the original Lou’s Eastside, is a laid back, no-frills, all day spot offering a little something for everyone. Ideal for pit-stops before heading to Zilker, early mornings for donuts, coffee, and tacos, and evenings with friends, pitchers of beer, and a tableful of burgers, fries, salads, and other snacks. The restaurant has a roadhouse look and feel with an abundance of wood-elements including a cedar-lined screened patio, wainscoting, comfy booths, picnic tables, and refurbished wood-plank floors.

One of my favorite gems in Austin. Friendly service, great food, drinks, and fun atmosphere. Also, excellent happy hour deals—try the wings and margaritas! ✌️

Food was good. Happy Hour was fun. Wait staff was fast and attentive. Pretty casual place. Order by QR Code. This location has garage parking which makes it ideal for this area. If I could change one thing it would be to be able to keep the tab open instead of closing it each time we order drinks. Otherwise, my friends and I enjoyed this location.

Probably the most bland food I have ever had. Overpriced fries that taste like cardboard. The burgers have sloppy fatty cuts that are bland as can be. The queso tastes like water and has the consistency of water. The “Parmesan” fries are normal fries with the lightest sprinkle of cheese on it. I never had such poor food in Austin. Everything is self serve and you still are asked to tip. Never coming back here again.

This is a great and inexpensive place on Barton Springs. The burgers are fantastic as are the fries (all of em) the rotisserie potatoes and salads. I haven’t had a bad meal yet. However on Wed a run club does meet there, making an annoying crowd, for the patrons. Parking is easy. If you have a big vehicle park down the road and walk however if you have a smaller one parking in the garage is great and they comp the parking. The servers are great but you do order online, so use a CC. In short this is a great place sure to become an Austin staple. Give it a whirl.

I went to this lovely place on an unexpected date over my weekend in Austin. This humble burger was quite tasty! It was really satisfying, the burger was well cooked and seasoned, and the sauce was just right.
Additionally, the staff was incredibly nice, polite, and efficient. The dining experience was excellent in general and the prices were reasonable for the area. One thing that stood out was the ability to order food from the QR code on the table, really efficient!

We met a friend at this restaurant for lunch. Before we went, I read the reviews. Based on the reviews it seemed that the food was good, but the service was lacking. So I went with an open mind. The food was really good and the the food runner was very attentive to our table. In addition, there were several bussers there who took away empty glasses and plates. For the price and the quality of food, it was definitely worth it. We started our meal with cocktails. I had the Gin/tonic, my roommate, the Bloody Mary. Both were fantastic. Then we shared the guacamole. It was really good, in texture and flavor. The accompanying chips were super fresh. We also had the spicy cucumber side. It was amazing. For my main I had the Greek salad and my roommate had the burger. These dishes were also really good. I would definitely come back.

The food was mostly meh, but there was no wait for a table on a Sunday afternoon, and the patio atmosphere was lovely. It’s open seating, and ordering through the QR was easy. My thoughts on each menu item we ordered:
• chips & queso – bare minimum honestly. I wouldn’t order again.
• pulled chicken sandwich – it was okay. I expected tastier flavors.
• fries – bland
• chicken tenders – now these were moist and tasty.
• frozen custard – I got mine with Swedish Hill cookie crumbles and it was delicious! So much so that I’ll probably hit up Swedish Hill soon for their cookies.
If I go back, I’d get a salad, chicken tenders, and absolutely the frozen custard with cookie crumbles. No need to waste my time on appetizers or sides.

Fast food service! Bar top was a little bit longer to get a menu or order but completely understandable with drinks in high demand. They validate parking for their garage and have seat yourself and order via QR code for orders. Tasty plates, wasn’t to sure what kind of cuisine it was considered. Almost like a mash up of American, Tex-Mediterranean. Chicken fell off the bones and the seasonal watermelon feta was a great addition, especially for the summer heat. I would highly consider the Piri-Piri sauce if you like spicy. They seem to have some great happy hour and week day specials that will certainly bring me back. Come check it out for yourselves.

Great spot to eat. My running group and I come here every Saturday and the food is delicious. Reasonably priced and inside is always clean and well kept. The breakfast sandwich is delicious but my friends got the omelette which also looked excellent. Right near Barton springs so even if you want to catch something to eat after a swim, I highly recommend! They have other things on their menu too which I look forward to trying. Staff is nice and caring.

Really enjoy both locations. Barton springs is more indoor and Cesar Chavez is all outdoor. Fried and rotisserie chicken are both fantastic!! Salads are excellent and drinks are consistent. Service is friendly and helpful. Priced fairly… so by and try it
