Typical Southren food and big plates.. Had lunch here with several people and we all clearedour plates. I had a chicken pecan spinach salad that was excellent and the chicken was cooked perfectly!
Good Lunch. went there after an entire morning watching volleyball. Why do I always get bad service in downtown Austin? i mean I sit down and it takes about 10 minutes for anyone to see what I want to drink. I wanted a cold beer but after the wait, I just ordered water. Food was OK, it was what I expected. I didnt expect to be wowed.The place was not crowded on a Sunday afternoon. that is why we went, didnt want to wait for an hour at Shady Grove. Will I go again? Only if I cant get into Shady Grove faster.…
Really Bad Food. Had a good meal here several years ago but on a recent visit the food was slop. Green bean casserole was a canned bean mushroom soup mush. The broccoli was frozen and tasteless. Chicken fried steak was dry and the meat was thin. Everything tasted like Sysco food. The cobbler was unidentifiable. Take note Threadgills it takes more than being famous to keep business please improve on the quality and taste!…
Enjoyable Experience.
Finally decided to eat at Threadgill's after hearing live music while driving by for over a year.
I was a little disappointed that the band was outdoors only and you couldn't hear it inside (you have to pay extra for a ticket to see them, which makes sense I guess) but I did enjoy the indoor atmosphere and decor.
Had the chicken fried steak, and it was indeed delicious. The portions were smaller than I was expecting, though. And I could only afford one mixed drink because those were a little pricey! However the waitress was extremely attentive and peppy.
I wouldn't mind returning for a second soul-food experience.…
The food simply is not good.
Being a resident of the South for quite a while, I was excited when I heard that Threadgills was supposed to offer great down-home southern cooking. However, I've eaten there twice, and each time,
the food was bland and flavorless. The vegetables are all either over cooked or under cooked, with not seasoning or flavoring on them. The fried catfish (a staple of southern cooking), tasted like it was coated in wonderbread and then fried.
The desserts are pretty good, and it is a fun place to catch a show (the drinks are pricey though!)…
