Editorial Review for Hickory Street Bar & Grill - by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This restaurant is decorated with photos of old downtown Austin and the usual array of country knickknacks. You can eat outside on the patio or sit inside cheek-by-jowl with the student and business crowds that have frequented this eatery for two decades. The buffets consist of salad, soup, potato, bread and sundae bars. While that's the main focus, you can also order greasy cheeseburgers, larger-than-life sandwiches and steak.

Editorial Review for Moonshine - Patio Bar & Grill - by Tara Hall
In Short
A comfortable 1860s house sets the scene. Candlelit windows, oversized mirrors and distinctive artwork embellish the exposed-brick walls and hardwood floors. Behind the main house sits a carriage house-turned-bar amid the trees. The combination of cozy decor, dim lighting and beautiful grounds creates a homey elegance. Intent on providing great American cooking, Moonshine concocted a menu offering classic favorites: corn dog shrimp, baked macaroni, shake-and-bake Parmesan chicken and horseradish-crusted salmon.

Editorial Review for Woodland - by Margaret Myrick
In Short
The classic comfort foods of the South--meat loaf, Sloppy Joes and chocolate-peanut butter pie--become smart and chic when presented within the faux-earth confines of this restaurant whose decor includes a giant tree in the middle and thatched walls reminiscent of a treehouse. The small space is the brainchild of owners and chefs of the Austin favorite Starlite, making it inevitable that a long line of neighborhood foodies come for supper and stay for the pie.
