I think I ate at Golden Rule the week it opened years ago but I never went back. No specific reason, I just prefer going out in Austin when I’m in town. But I’ve recently been back on several occasions. It’s 5 stars for atmosphere. The ambiance couldn’t be better. Really cute place, great bar, very inviting. The food is more like 4 stars. Seems to be inconsistent. Sometimes too salty. Recently raised their prices on the entrees which I believe to be way too much for what it is. The service is generally good, however, sitting at the bar, the service is also inconsistent. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s not. Regardless of improvements needed, if you’re looking for a hang out spot in GTown with decent food and fun, eclectic atmosphere, I would suggest Golden Rule.

Got sat outside with my family. Waited over 30 minutes for a server to even greet us after checking with the hostess. Poor interaction with the server and no apology for the wait and very few other customers outside. Food and drinks are not worth the wait with no explanation or interaction. Also received dirty glassware when we finally got our drinks

Ended up getting their burger after my buddy swore it was his absolute favorite and the best he has ever had so I had some high hopes. Honestly it was a damn good burger. Only critique is it was smaller than I expected for the price but the flavor made up for it. Super juicy and the pepper jam or sauce they put on it was phenomenal. Had a nice little kick that worked perfectly with the cheese and elk meat. Fries were solid too — crispy shoe strings with that perfect crunch.

We also grabbed a couple appetizers. The brussels sprouts were perfectly crispy with a nice sweet glaze and the shishito peppers had great crunch and just the right amount of heat with a chipotle sauce that tied it together. Cool little spot with a laid back vibe that’s perfect for a low key lunch with the bros.

We had our rehearsal dinner at Golden rule, and they were absolutely amazing from the staff, to the food, to the atmosphere it was absolutely beautiful and we could not have asked for better.

We booked the private event, space, and they gave us the entire day to decorate because there wasn’t another event. that was beyond helpful, and they provided table cloths and napkins, and honestly everything we needed. The food came out so swiftly, and when we needed it, and staff was consistently walking around getting any extra plates, and just being amazing for the event.

The bartenders were absolutely awesome, and the drinks were quick, delicious, and exactly what we wanted. I absolutely loved their death by 1000 berries mocktail, but people could not get over how awesome the Lavender Haze was 10/10 recommend.

We will absolutely be returning again, and highly recommend anybody in Georgetown to come by or host a gathering, reception, rehearsal dinner, etc. The prices are great, it’s definitely a Georgetown staple!!

It is not the most mind blowing food I have ever had.
But, for the price you are paying, it is a pretty great elevation in the quality of cuisine.

The service was phenomenal, especially considering that we were sat about as far from other people as possible. Waitress was perfectly attendant and very friendly.

Atmosphere was great. The place is welcoming and well kept, but not *too* fancy so you can come as your authentic self.
Tons of intimate seating and private booths. The mafia would love the layout.

If you are looking for a culinary experience that is more fancy, but not too expensive, is delicious, and intimate. This is a great option!

We’ve probably eaten at the Golden Rule a dozen times over the last five years. The time before last I called on a Friday to ask the hours for happy hour. Unfortunately, the information provided failed to mention that they don’t have happy hour on Fridays. We were told this when were seated and asked about the specials. I was disappointed that no offer was made to discount anything (appetizer, draft beer, house wine) since we were misinformed.

Our most recent visit for happy hour was on a Wednesday and we were pleased with the specials. I usually get the grilled redfish trying to be a bit healthier and it’s always delicious. The rice, though, seemed much more buttery and rich than usual which would be good were I not trying to eat a bit cleaner.

Also, I love the al dente broccolini, but the serving was very small and I never understood why you’re not provided with a knife for your meal.

My husband had the turkey sandwich which he enjoyed, and was able to change the side to a small salad for no charge.

The atmosphere was both vibrant and eclectic, creating a lively dining experience. Our server was not only joyful but also energetic, making our first visit memorable with her excellent recommendations. We began with the whipped honey goat cheese, which was absolutely phenomenal. My wife’s salmon was cooked to perfection—flaky and flavorful. To top it all off, we indulged in the Bourbon Blondie for dessert, and it was pure sweet delight. This place is truly a gem, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

We celebrated our son’s birthday here, I reserved a table in advanced. The place and the ambiance of this restaurant is unique and we loved it! Food is quite nice but for me who loves to eat out and cook, I’m expecting more flavors. I hope they will add more food selections for dinner. In addition, the customer service is great. It was a pleasant experience hoping to go back with more food choices.

Wanted to eat downtown. Very lively area. This spot looked promising. I was very disappointed.

Was initially seated inside and it was dreary. There were people at the bar but there were zero televisions and very low music. I quickly changed my mind and decided to sit outside. There were people with dogs and there was a hint of some pretty good music (ie. Fiona apple). Thats a good vibe but that’s about all I got here.

Service was painfully slow. The server was inattentive and forgot to bring staples such as water and neglected to check in after food arrived. I’m not looking for a doting waiter but how about some basic service?

Appetizer was okay. Drinks were interesting but just okay. I ordered a turkey club which came in around $17. It was toast with lettuce, tomato, bacon (tasty) and processed turkey. I could have made this at home for much less. Come on man! Plus they were stingy in the turkey. It was a sad sandwich.

The inattentive waiter was quick to bring the bill and ask for an undeserved tip.

Not coming back here. Lots of potential but lots of pretentiousness as well.

Charming restaurant offering excellent drink selection and tasty appetizers. Lovely heated outdoor patio seating area.

I don’t recommend any of the steak dishes- they were overcooked every time. Even after sending the initial dish back, the replacement was still overcooked
