I have great memories of going to this place as a kid w/my dad. He worked at a shop not far from here, and in the summers I would go with him. This was our typical spot to have ...

I had not been to Shady Grove in a decade. When three of us finished watching the Saturday matinee of Porgy and Bess we thought we go have a good enjoyable meal. Of course, the gi...

Pretty tasty especially the much hyped hippie chick sandwich 2/23/2007

Went late on a Sunday morning... hippie chick sandwich was very good, same w/ the catfish. Only disappointment is that they don't serve breakfast & their cobblers weren't anything outstanding. Other than that every thing else was above average. Good service, nice outdoor seating area. We will definitely return. Pros: Hippie chick sandwich, fun/trendy location Cons: no breakfast menu more

great service, great food, great atmosphere, Horrible parking & Long wait 2/16/2007

Shady grove is by far my favorite restaurant in Austin! The only problem I have is finding a parking spot. And the longest wait that I know for a restaurant. It doesn't matter if you come at an ""offf time"" (i.e. like at 2 or 3pm, 11am)... there will ALWAYS be a wait. So be prepared to wait and you won't be disappointed. I love the jukebox if I'm stuck indoors. Love the outdoor seating better. The food is great. Good prices, great portions. It is by far the best place to get food in Austin. Try it... you'll love it! Pros: great atmosphere, service, food Cons: parking; long, long, LONG wait more

Great outdoor dining 11/20/2006

One of the best patios in Austin for eating, drinks and hanging out watching a concert. The Hippie sandwich is a great veggie choice and the french fries are the best! more

Great outdoor dining! 11/13/2006

Outdoor dining doesn't get better. Shady grove has an excellent patio for dining outdoors when weather permits. Casual, relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend the Hippy Chick sandwich! Pros: A fun place Cons: Parking & not being able to dine outside if it's too hot or raining more

Try the Hippie Sandiwch 10/30/2006

I like the outdoor seating at Shady Grove. Although it seems crowded on the inside most of the time I have never had to wait to be seated. I always get the same thing...the hippie sandwich with their ranch dressing on the side. Great Austin atmosphere. Pros: Outdoor Seating more

Chicken Fried Goodness 10/7/2006

The chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken were delicious, and the mashed potatoes were terrific. We had a bit of a wait, but it was Friday night--no surprise. The decor is interesting, and the portions were generous but not insane. The only real misstep was that the waiter forgot to deliver a drink, even after a rather lengthy conversation about the selection. Still, they took it off the bill very quickly. Pros: value, quality Cons: long wait at dinner more

great ambience 9/23/2006

I think this place is a little overhyped. The food and service are great but nothing too special. I do recommend the Hippie Sandwich. It's delicious. It's nicely decorated. Go early because the wait is long. Usually, however, there are seats indoors but a huge line if you want to sit outside. Pros: ambience, staff Cons: long wait more

I love this place... 9/22/2006

This place has the best onion rings in Austin and I love the green chile cheese burger. Pretty much everything here is delicious. The decor is really cute inside and when the weather is nice, the patio is great. My only complaint is the wait time is always really long...but it's worth the wait! Pros: food, ambience, location Cons: wait time more
