Try the award-winning Home Slice Pizza on South Congress for New York-style pie, or go casual with homemade sausage and brew at Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden, Easy Tiger‘s beer garden, or Pinthouse Brewing — or opt for one of Austin’s many popular food trucks throughout the city.

If upscale is more your fancy (pun intended), make reservations at farm-to-table institution Emmer & Rye, Top Chef-owned Arlo Grey, nosh on locally-driven cuisine at Austin dining icon Wink, or chow down on the latest Japanese hot pot experience at Dip, Dip, Dip.

And let’s not forget brunch — one of the most important meals for any bachelorette in Austin, Texas. Go classy at Mattie’s with their upscale Southern faves or cozy and intimate at Josephine House, a more casual food alternative to its fine dining sister, Jeffrey’s. Try Sway for a Thai take on breakfast. And it should be no secret that Austin is often known for the best barbecue and music, and Stubb’s Bar-B-Q is all about both. Load up on Southern staples like catfish and cornbread during their renowned Sunday Gospel Brunch with, you guessed it, live gospel music. Bonus points for their build-your-own Bloody Mary bar.

For views of the city, give P6 Lounge a go — not only will you get specialty brunch cocktails, but you’ll also find a spectacular view of the Colorado River and South Congress better known as SOCO.
