UPDATED: I've been here a few more times since my previous review and I have to say that perhaps I was mistaken. I may have just caught them on a bad night because the food and service have been exceptional in my recent visits. They have a great breakfast menu and some good burgers, including this wonderfully messy concoction known as the "Booyah Burger," topped with bacon, an egg, and something called "warm sauce." If you have facial hair, such as I do, ask for extra napkins if you order this burger. You'll thank me.
PREVIOUS: I don't get it. I just don't get it. I don't get what is so great about this place that everyone rants and raves about it. When my wife and I first arrived, we waited for a place to sit. It was busy, so that was understandable, but when we finally sat down, our waitress didn't give us any menus. So we waited... and waited... and waited. After almost ten minutes, when we were about to walk out, another waitress noticed we didn't have menus and brought us some. I ordered the fried chicken, which others had recommended to me. After tasting it, I once again have to say I don't get it. It was only slightly juicy and the batter was bland; no salt or pepper could be tasted. It was served with a side of uninteresting fries and a slice of Kool-Aid dyed fruit that I was unable to identify. It seemed like the clientele were mainly senior citizens, so maybe they're nostalgic about it, though I'm not sure how long it's been open. There are better places in Austin and while I'm willing to give it another shot, it won't be anytime soon.

Love the Northlander omelet!. Mmmmmmmmmm delicious!
