In Short
The restaurant features a simple design that's warm and welcoming. Diners can sit at light pine booths with bright red seats or at small tables covered with butcher paper. A large storefront window lets in lots of light and a bar in the corner can satisfy your thirst while you wait for a table. Chef/owner Hoover Alexander offers daily specials. All entrees come with two sides, of which there is ample selection.

The muffaletta sandwiches are fantastic. I have yet to really be impressed with the desserts, unfortunately. Their selection typically includes favorites of mine, like cobbler, but I never seem to really like them much. The muffaletta sandwiches are totally worth it though - I've ceased to get anything else there.

I'm sorry to say I was disappointed in today's meal. My family and I decided to have dinner out and have desert in. I chose Hoover's. I was so surprised at the food. We all have traditional turkey. The food was not hot, the yams were no done, and the muffins were hard and cold. I was very surprised and embrassed. As I had been the only one who had ever been before. I had to explain this is not usually how Hoover's Food taste. Next year we cook at home.

Hoover's is a southern comfort experience hard to find in Austin these days. Perhaps a little heavy on the heat (spice), but that's part of the tradition. Collard greens made like my granny made, jalepeno spinach casserole that can both inspire and catch you on fire and some good cajun cuisine that needs to keep on growin in Austin. I was however, a little dissapointed with the boudin special. A little too dry guys. Now, I'm gonna defend these Hoover's a little and perhaps educate some previous comments made concerning a split charge. This is real estate and people gotta pays the bills and make a living. Your tip and those extra charges are there to make sure everyone is taken care of and all the bills are paid. Sitting down for two hours in a restaurant and ordering only a cup of coffee (strictly hypethetical) means people are loosing money. Hoover's is doing what every restaurant on the planet is trying to do...survive. Next time just share something. Don't ask them to split it. The more work work the restaurant and it's employees have to do for you means extra costs. It's cheaper if you do it yourself.
