The Park on South Lamar

Came on Tuesday for HH and Sat outside. Good service. The $ 5 chicken breast sandwiches are so damn good! We both got diff ones and both really liked them. Chicken cooked perfect. Friends enjoyed their $ 5 burgers too. They consider Shiner a domestic, which is great bc a lot of places don’t. $ 2.50 domestic pints 4 – 8. We came last Sat, Sat inside, and the service was poor. Not sure if it was the waitress or the bar tender, or both. but I understand sometimes shit happens. We will def come back for HH

Sort of torn on this place. Been here at least 5 or 6 times. One time I got a moldy pitcher, meh it happens, it was switched out promptly. I’ve had a pretty terrible experience with service a couple times as well. With that said, the food is phenomenal. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Burgers are some of the best in Austin.
This is a great place if you aren’t in a rush and can just sit back and watch the 100 TV’s everywhere. Great patio that is 21 and up but as I said, service always seems to be lacking a bit. We’ve actually sat there for 20 minutes and just gotten up and gone next door to another restaurant because of the lack of service.
Drink menu needs to be expanded as well. When my GF asked for the margarita choices the waitress gave her a short ‘regular or skinny’ response that was sort of off putting. As a sports bar, you have to have more choices than the 10 or so drinks they offer.
I’d still recommend eating at this place.

I really enjoy coming to the Park. The food is really tasty. The staff is friendly. I get a good experience all the time I go there. From the managers to the staff they always make me feel I’m at home.

Great bar to visit. The Park keeps the laid back Austin vibe that is so needed in this city at times. The bartenders and managers especially Evelyn are incredibly nice and attentive so this is a great place to go on game days or late nights. Definitely would recommend the burgers.

I had wanted to try this place for a long time, and it ended up being a big disappointment.
We sat at the half empty bar and had terrible service. Took us 15 minutes to get a beer and another 15 to try and order. The bar tender insisted on taking one of our credit cards to start a tab, understandable, but they didn’t do that for any other customer in the restaurant. I don’t know if we were profiled for some reason or another, but it left a very bad taste in my mouth.
Our appetizer came out maybe one minute before the rest of our food. Half of our food was amazing and the other half was luke warm and mediocre at best.

A fair sports bar. Went on a Saturday and was seated immediately. The service was good, fast and polite. The bar was incredibly loud, soooooooooooooo loud. Which is great if you’re going there with kids or to watch sports.
I ordered a hot toddy, great for a cold night. The beer selection was alright, they feature lots of local selections.
We got the dip appetizer. The cheese dip, guac, and red salsa were all delicious. The tomatillo salsa was alright. Great chips, thin and lightly greased and salted.
I ordered the rebel burger. Everything about the burger and toppings was great. I loved the fried pickles, and the burger was luscious and juicy, thick and everything else I want my patty to be. The pickles were crispy and sour. The cheese was not as sharp as expected, but yummy nonetheless. My only complaint concerns the bun, it was sweet, and gross paired with the burger. The fries were great, crispy and well-​seasoned.
My husband got the fat bird, it was huge and tasty. Bring your appetite for this one. Our friends ordered the margarita pizza and the corn flake chicken tacos and loved them both.

Consistently good. Enjoy much of the menu, especially the corn flake crusted fried chicken tacos, flat bread pizzas and surprisingly the queso. Beer list is decent with a handful of mainstream local crafts that never change and of course the usual macro suspects. I’m told the drinks are creative and delicious by my gal who really enjoys the 1 $ mimosas on Sunday with a lively patio party. We have never sat inside as the patio is dog friendly and always seems to have a nice breeze, even on those hot summer days.
Rotate your local craft beers from time to time or even bring in some Pinthouse Pizza beers and I’ll give you that 5^th star.

Great first meal of the New Year! Went for the brunch buffet. Everyone was very pleased! Staff was very friendly! Definitely will be coming back to try more menu items.

I came to The Park with a friend to grab a drink after we took an Über back from Trail of Lights. Plus I had seen friends rave about this place I decided to give it a try. Judging by the amount of cars parked I thought we would have to wait to be seated. Once we stepped in it was totally the opposite, completely dead. Great! We sat on the bar and waiter was very quick. I ordered a strawberry limeade and a mimosa which were tasty drinks. However $ 10 for one mimosa to me is very pricey. The bathroom was pretty dirty and not clean at all. The atmosphere is sports bar meets upscale. I like that there are tv’s everywhere playing music and sports games. I wish there were more of these in San Antonio with daily drink and brunch specials. While looking through other pictures from Unilocal I noticed that they have great brunch specials, looks very great. Maybe I’ll give this place another try when I come back to visit in Austin.

My g/​f and I finally went by here a few nights ago. Parking isn’t too rough; though it always looks like there is a huge crowd; but there was no wait for a table when we went inside.
The ambience can seem a bit deceptive. The way I’d describe it is «casual upscale meets dive bar meets sports bar.» At least the inside looks more on the «upscale-​ish» side, but when going outside to either of the pattios, you definitely have the sports bar vibe. Speaking of «sports bar,» there’s ZERO shortage of TVs, which means any sporting event that’s on, you should have free roam of whatever event you want to watch.
It was between 4 – 8 so there’s plenty of app specials during the week and we tried the brisket quesidillas which were pretty good. Definiately worth it at the $ 5 special, but at the normal price of $ 10, I feel it’s a bit on the pricy side (at least @ $ 10).
We also ordered 12 BBQ wings and a Pepperoni pizza. The wings were really good, and not overly greasy which was a very nice touch. The wings also had a nice smoky flavor that my g/​f and I were very fond of. As for the pizza, the crust was absolutely perfect. Normally I’m a thin crust eater but this crust was among the best I’ve eaten in a VERY long time.
The only thing is there were smokers outside; and it seems a bit close within the distance of the door for it to be allowed. Smoke was blowing in my face from another patron which I was not a fan of. Minor thing at best but a potential annoyance for anyone sitting outdoors on the pattio.
All in all, solid food, great service. Will be returning soon!

Was here last night to meet someone with the bf and decided to grab dessert while waiting. Best decision ever! I ordered the nutella funnel cake – funnel cake with nutella and powdered sugar topping. It was great and large enough to share. The bf ordered cinnamon toast crunch ice cream which was the REAL star. a huge ball of vanilla ice cream, coated with Cinnamon Toast crunch cereal pieces and drizzled with caramel! Words dont do justice to how good it was. And again, large enough portion to share, so the bf was happy to let me have a few bites. They only have three desserts on the menu (the last was a double chocolate brownie we didn’t try) so a bit limited, but what they have they do well! $ 6 for each dessert item, so the bill was only $ 13. Loved it, and our server (Erin?) was great! Every time I come here I enjoy it more.

The Park is always a great time. They have an AWESOME brunch on the weekends that is always super crowded, one of the best in town for sure. I came in the other day and tried the mahi mahi fish tacos, they were awesome! Got a jalapeño bloody mary that was nice and spicy just how I like it. My sister got a burger that was really good too. And the garlic Parmesan fries that it came with were just dangerous! It’s also pet friendly so feel free to bring your pup!

Food is good but very heavy, so brace yourself for a food coma following your visit to The Park. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. This is our go-​to place for UT game watching. So many TVs are outside and great set up for large groups.
Hot-​as-​Hell Habanero Wings– delicious but definitely not for the faint of heart, you can really feel that habanero crawl into your nostrils!
The «Go-​To» Burger– This was my favorite burger! The bread is so soft and everything all together is just the perfect bite!

Burgers are great. They have NFL Sunday Ticket and were totally willing to put the game on at the TV closest to our table. Mimosas are $ 1! Hard to beat that.
Also, shout out to Kendall. Definitely count her among the best servers I’ve ever had. Seriously, my brother and I were both astounded by how good she was, and that’s after a combined 10+ years in the restaurant biz.

Nothing special here. Lots of TVs. Yay.
It’s hard to explain the atmosphere, but I would definitely say cold and unappealing really. Maybe the lack of smiles on the waitresses face or just their lack of presence in general contributes to that.
I had two glasses of «Pinot». I guess here if you ask for just Pinot you get the $ 12 glass and it isn’t even a real restaurant pour.
And the margarita pizza that we left half of on the table because it was so bland, yeah that was $ 11 alone.
You’ve got to be kidding me with this place.

We walked up during the ass end of a UT football game unknowingly. Walking through the outside deck seating, I got a bit of an old frat guys on the prowl vibe, but once we got inside, the vibe was good. Maybe it was just that UT was losing. Although we didn’t come here to watch the game, this is definitely one hell of a sports bar. I wanted some late night wings and The Park was my only real option at the time. They were some of the best wings I’ve had in a while. Our waitress was very nice and provided great service during a very busy time! Thumbs up, yo! The cocktail menu didn’t seem all that great, but I had their pomegranate press and enjoyed it. The Park is great for a late night bite or to catch a game at any time. I’d probably avoid the outside seating. Like I said earlier, it felt like a frat party outside.

YIKES — This might be the dirtiest, nastiest, rudest establishment in Austin!
Experience:
Show up on Saturday night around 11:45pm… walk in… DEAD silent, ask the bartender…“you guys still open?” The place looked closed down… He replies «yeah -» in the most unwelcoming tone ever. So we take a seat outside where we find other humans.
We sit — no one greets us or explains anything to us — 1 bartender.
I go chat with bartender — «Hi, do we order from you? Do I need to let someone know we grabbed a table?»
Her — «Uhhh, well it’s after hours, so we don’t have wait staff» … long pause.
Me — «so can I get a menu? do I order here?»
Her — «Yeah — but first I need your credit card»
So we finally order, I check into Unilocal and get a free pizza for checking in! Ok — this totally makes me happy. I go back and ask crabby bartender if it can be honored…
Her — «No, we don’t honor that» (like I should know)
Me — go find manager —
Manager «Ummm no, I don’t know what that is»
Manager comes to table, «we can’t get that removed, did you call them about it»
Me…“Call Unilocal?at 12am? on Saturday?” no sorry fresh out of customer service calls.
Food comes out in 15 minute increments — so strange… it’s freaking bar food yo!‘
Food is absolutely disgusting! The pickle slices were more like pickle balls, the wings were slimy, and everything was just gross.
To end our night, of course, one needs to use the bathroom — HOLY HELL NASTY. I wanted to take a bath in lysol after that experience.
Terrible all the way around.
Save your money and don’t get a disease or infection from going there.
YUCKO !

Prolly one of the best menus I’ve seen for a big group of people. Pizzas, burgers, salads, wings!, etc.
I ordered the fried pickles (of course) and the triple grilled cheese BLT. Fried pickle breading was amazing and they were pickle chips so that’s great. The triple grilled cheese BLT was AMAZING. Who should’ve thought that I would order a grilled cheese at a restaurant.
Also worth making a note, all of their ranch flavored are amazing. The know thing I would socks star and a half for is service. Took forever to take our real food order after checking on our drinks. I ordered a side of ranch with my meal when ordering and had to ask three more times (which they also then charged me for).
But I’d come back.

We come here after our kickball games…
–good nibbles
–good cold DRANKS
Can’t really go wrong.

2^nd visit and have a better feeling. Was 3 now approaching 4.
Happy hour Friday on the patio. Usual challenges from birds and traffic noise but it was still decently pleasant. HH drinks were good value and they let our dog in.
The wings are very high quality in size but could use a hotter oil fry to crisp them a bit more. A highlight still.
The service was better than expected and no problem even when a large group arrived, they are trying in this department.
Food was ok but with grilled cheese not completely melted and hamburger a tad below other nearby places.
All in all above a 3 but maybe a push to be a 4.
Drumroll please… and after a coin flip Park rates a 4 to be further validated by future visits.
