The Broken Spoke is a Texas Legend and an Austin Icon. The bad review I read that someone took time to write is baffling! I'm not sure why someone would take time to write something so awful about someone's business and livelihood! I have been told this person did not make any of the following comments to the waitresses that night so there was no way we could of tried to make this customer happier. You can't make everyone happy and some people are just bitter, ugly people. I would like to say that I have grown up at the Broken Spoke and I love it. It is my second home and I take it very seriously when someone attacks it. Our reputation as a great dancehall and restaurant stands on its own. We have been voted the best chicken fried steak in town and we do have great BBQ and burgers. Our prices are very competitve with all the live music venues here in town and for anyone who goes out every once in awhile they would know that it isn't cheap to go out in Austin. The Broken Spoke has been in business for 43 years and that is not by meer accident. That comes from hard work, great food and great music! People come from all over the world to visit the Spoke and they all have a great time and can't stop bragging about how much fun they had here. We have had Dolly Parton, Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall, Willie Nelson, George Strait, Michael Caine, Vince Vaughn, Brooks & Dunn, Mark Chestnut, Quentin Tarantino....at the Spoke and they all had a great time! The Broken Spoke is authentic Texas from the red rustic old building with it's dirt parking lot to the cowboys in hats and boots dancing across our dancefloor holding a lone star beer. We want everyone to come out and have a good time! And we'll be "keeping it country on the South Side of Austin" for many years to come! Y'all come out and see us soon!
