The food simply is not good

by dlsomers

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!)

• Pros: Good desserts, fun place to watch live music
• Cons: Horrible food.

Great Home Cookin'

by Leelee84

Once you've ate at Threadgills, you'll never think the same way about Home Cookin'! This place is absolutely amazing and the mac and cheese is the best! If you're ever in Austin, make sure you stop and visit Threadgills!

• Pros: everything!
• Cons: nothing!

comfort food experts

by melissafromaustralia

Threadgills does comfort foods the way comfort foods were meant to be done. Their water tasted like something had died in it, but everything else was wonderful...my waiter was a little scatterbrained, but it is monday and he was probably just hungover.

mashed potatoes (veg.) are fabulous also the scalloped potatoes, corn, and carrots. :)

• Pros: vegetarian friendly
• Cons: gross water
