Moonshine Grill - Bar & grill in Austin - 303 Red River St, USA

Complimentary Popcorn! What an interesting alternative to bread before your meal. We had a great evening here and enjoyed every minute. We both got the cornflake chicken salads and it was fantastic. Moist chicken wrapped in a crunchy and flavor filler crust partnered very well with the salad. We also enjoyed the calamari and the chocolate espresso brownie. Both were plenty for two and delicious to the end. Would recommend 👌

Great restaurant. I can see why it has so many 5* reviews. Sat in the covered outside area during one of Texas' little cold snaps and it was pleasant. The inside is way nicer BUT they have done a good job on the outdoor area. Food was excellent! Wish bar menu had more Mocktails. We will certainly be back when that side of town.

Cute exterior/interior. Indoor/outdoor and outdoor covered seating with heaters! Plays a rock style music, at least while we were there. Cool atmosphere. Clean bathrooms. The waitress was super nice. She was the one with pink hair. I was impressed she asked first thing about food allergies. I think this should be a stand in the food industry. She brought us free seasoned popcorn. My friends ordered fried green tomatoes (5-6 pieces) and cat head biscuits(3 biscuits). Both were pretty good! The fried green tomatoes had shrimp and lots of flavoring. The biscuits had a nice preserve that wasn’t super heavy. The biscuits are very filling. I ordered the chicken and waffles. This isn’t something I usually order but I thought I would try, the waffles were very fluffy, chicken was fried and season ok. There was syrup and gravy on the plate as well. I mixed and dipped into all of them. I was satisfied. My friend got blackened cat fish and grits. The grits were one of the best ones I have had and I’m from the south so I’ve tasted quite a bit. They gave us corn bread muffins that were slightly spicy so I assume they have jalapeños in them but they were good, not dry.

This restaurant has an enjoyable outside eating area. It is covered with good lighting and atmosphere for those who enjoy outdoor patio eating. The food was good, we tried the place based on the southern menu selections and excited to try it out. I had the chicken fried steak, it was very good. A great crust, flavor and tender steak. I enjoyed the kick of heat from the Chipotle gravy, which just added to the overall flavor. And the mashed potato also good. Initially, the first biscuit order came to the table cold, once we shared with our waiter this was quickly resolved. The next arrival the biscuits were hot and fresh. The biscuit is okay, a little more dense for my liking. And my friends shared their selections was a good choice. Really good service as well.

Come here, eat here, order the shrimp and grits. This is a chill spot with a great covered patio. They also have portable AC. The service is quick and friendly and the food is 10/10. When you are seated they great you with a bowl of seasoned popcorn. However don't skip on the fried shrimp corn dogs. I can't wait to eat here again with friends. The brunch menu also looks delicious!

Charming little restaurant in downtown Austin next to the convention center. Wide selection of southern comfort food, boasting the largest chicken fried steak I have ever seen! Friendly and super efficient staff.

The chicken and waffles was 9/10 with only downside that the waffles were mushy/soggy. The soup was cold! The waiter replaced with a warm/hot cup after the complaint. Great service with a surprising green tea with hints of mint. Well done!
