Terrible Cold Buffet, Not Worth It, No Parking
by buenosairesmaude
Long wait, an hour and a half. Cold buffet, cold heavy, tasteless food. Cold chicken strips, cold steak fingers, cold gravy, cold migas, cold casserole, everything - ugh. And heavy. Then you get the bill. Ouch.
- Pros: If you're young and hip and like McD's and M&C, you'll LOVE
- Cons: If you're mature and a foodie, you'll HATE it.

This restaurants is one of the best I have been to on my visits to austin. The service was great, even though my party was of more than 20 people. They were so wonderful, and the food was delicious. Everybody was very much pleased with their dish. Will definitely go back! :)
Favorite Austin Restaurant
by SouthAustin
I have lived in Austin for 6 years, and I have never been disappointed with Moonshine! Their food is excellent, with wonderful service, and the atmosphere is perfect for any evening, whether you are on a date, or have family and friends in town. I recommend this for anyone coming to town to visit, or anyone who is looking for a nice, affordable evening out.
Upscale but comfortable dining downtown
by laurenaggie
My husband and I tried this place out for the first time a few nights ago. The food, atmosphere, and service were all good. We loved the complimentary popcorn, Roasted Garlic appetizer (half-price during happy hour), Green Chile Macaroni, Fajita Steak Salad, and Harvest Moon (Long Island with cranberry juice). Parking is valet ($4) or on the street.
- Pros: Ambience, Menu
- Cons: No parking lot, a little pricey

fun place to go with friends
by perfectfitwhit
Great service and great atmosphere! The food is pretty good but a little overpriced. I experienced this restaurant while waiting to go on a haunted tour of Austin and will definitely be visiting again. Great place to go for some drinks and appetizers after work!
- Pros: service, ambience
- Cons: parking, price
More like 3 1/2 stars, not bad but the buffet was set out poorly
by shaft28
We went by for Sunday brunch and I have to say the food was pretty good. I mean skip the bland quiche slices, in fact most the egg dished were just ok. But the casseroles were really good as were the sweet items.
Now there is a 30-45 minute wait. We decided to skip it as we found a spot in the bar. The bartender was very good and she attended to our needs great. Mind you it was a maze to walk through the crowd to get out food and come back to the table. unsure why they would set up all the food in the same area as the waiting area inside. Honeslty it was so poorly presented out I had 2 serverand, 2 customers and 4 people waiting bump into me on my 2 trips to the buffet. It was ridiculous.
Waitstaff outside the bar was pretty iffy, but the hostess that was more worried about how her hat was on and flirting with the waiters was the best - we never saw her look a patron in the eye. Kind of rude.
Not sure we'll go out of our way to eat here again. Could be a great place, but jusk ok.
One of the Best Restaurants in Austin
by Leelee84
This place is amazing! The food is always good and fresh and I love going when the weather is perfect and in Texas that means when it's not 100 and above! I would suggest checking this place out at lunch or for Sunday brunch. The menu is amazing and there is something for everyone!
- Pros: Food and outdoor dining!
- Cons: a little pricey!
