Red’s Porch is the newest hotspot in South Austin.  The menu is a mashup of Cajun, Tex-Mex, and Southern style cooking and the food is delicious.  This is one of those establishments where the drink menu is longer than the food, starting with 60 beers on tap.  I could spend all afternoon here on a pretty day as they have dart boards, washer pits, shuffle boards, big screen TVs, and full bar.  Grab a seat upstairs and take in the views of the Greenbelt.  Life is good at Red’s Porch!

Look for this sign on S Lamar just before 71.  The restaurant is behind a bank and cannot be seen from the street.

South Lamar sandwich

Live Oak Heifenweizen

Queso Con Todo minus the chorizo, we had a vegetarian in attendance

Manimal Burger, one of the best burgers i’ve had.  If this place was open before Texas Monthly’s Top 50 Burger list was published, I bet it would make the list.  Awesome bread.

Upstairs is a great view of Austin, but I had Lila with me and dogs aren’t allowed upstairs.
