What People Are Saying About Hyde Park Bar & Grill
Featured Review

In Short – The restaurant has made the transformation from hip-and-happening spot to neighborhood stalwart. It doesn't draw the young trendies anymore, but does seem to appeal to couples and groups of friends from the university and surrounding neighborhods. A hammered-copper bar anchors the retro interior, which is casual and comfortable, but plenty nice for a date. The menu at Hyde Park features burgers, sandwiches, salmon, fresh salads and home-style desserts. Prices are moderate, particularly given the high price of real estate in the area.
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Brunch is served weekends, 11am-3pm, and features such favorites as eggs Florentine, eggs Benedict, migas, omelettes and Belgian waffles.
- Parking:
- A large lot is located behind the restaurant and is shared with other eateries on the block. Additional parking available on surrounding streets.
Homey, welcoming & yummy are the words

Homey, welcoming & yummy are the words that come to mind when describing this American grill. An absolute must is their buttermilk fries.
WARNING... PLEASE READ.

Well this is a first. I went into pick up a to go order last night (10-22-11) at 11:30 pm like I have done numerous times over the years as I live in Hyde Park. Seated at the bar was a very drunk guy that looked at me the moment I walked in and said F k you. He proceeded to continue this behavior and even more intensely and very loudly. f k you, f k you. He then proceeded to threaten me physically as he was very drunk. It was a barrage of profanity and threats that cant be adequately described here (he was across the bar and screaming). As I waited for my to go order the manager of the restaurant came over to the guy and he was obviously friends with him because he called him by name "Alex" and he was saying "Alex please be cool I'm begging you" that's all the manager said over and over please be cool (I even looked over at the manager and gestured for him to do something but nothing). UNBELIEVABLE this was the manager of Hyde Park Bar and Grill on Duval and that's all he could say to a Drunk guy who was his friend and was screaming profanities and threats. I am a 52 year old guy who brings his wife and young kids there and this was the managers response!!?? This barrage did not stop until I walked out the door. I have been in business in Austin for 32 years and I am the former owner of Pinky's wireless and numerous other business and have never experienced something like this ever. This is not about the food but about the management (or complete lack of), and about the safety of guests of an establishment. (I can handle myself in all situations so I stayed and picked up my food as planned) In my opinion there is no management at this location and that radiates to all aspects of this business, from the food to the service and most importantly to your safety. After leaving I realized the drunk patron was someone I had kicked out of a building that I owned 8 years ago while this fact is important to "me" it does not change the managers non response . The managers response was inexcusable and while I have not contacted the ownership I intended to do so. If there is a response I will update this post but I suggest you think twice about this location.

Best Spinach Salad !
by cyncollen
I love Hyde Park Bar & Grill ! I've had many dishes but my stand out favorite is the huge Spinach Salad. The spinach is always crisp, the other veggies are fresh and the dressing is perfect. And I can't keep my hands out the large plate of fries we always share.
Consistently good food and service at reasonable prices ... an easy choice !
Delicious! Wonderful Austin Favorite Comfort Food
by txredheart
Gotta love Hyde Park Bar & Grill! It's such an Austin favorite. I love the fries... but who doesn't? YUM! I love that in addition to their comfort food like chicken fried steak and hamburgers, they also have a delicious grilled chicken breast with oh-so-good mushroom sauce on it that feels like a healthy alternative. The service is great as well! The last time I was there the man taking the names for the wait list was soooo nice and he even remembered mine and my date's name when we were leaving and thanked us for coming and asked us to come again... Believe me I will!
Charged Extra For Take-Out Without Warning
by Rusty3k1
The Southern Fried Chicken Breast is listed as costing $8.95 on the online menu. I ordered take-out and was charged $10.45. I did not mention the discrepancy because I like to trust people and realized that I may have been mistaken. When I got home, I checked and I was indeed misled, cheated, stolen from or however you would like to put it. To top things all off, after I signed my check, the bartender asked me if I would total it up for him. I took that as a kind way of asking for a tip. I did not tip because I do not normally tip on take-out orders. Simply put, I was lied to and I will never again return to the Hyde Park Bar & Grill.
