Cherry wood
While Salty Sow, as the name suggests, specializes in pork-variety dishes, their version of fried chicken shouldn’t be missed. Served with mashed potatoes and neck sauce, it is a hedonistic pleasure of crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. Go to happy hour, which runs from 4pm to 6pm daily, to pair the dish with one of their draft beers or craft cocktails like the Maple Glazed Old Fashioned for a $ 2 discount. Sit outside on the porch while you have a drink and eat and feel like you’re in the best version of a lazy southern Sunday afternoon.
How to book: Reserve via Open table or order to take away via Tock.
Southern Congress
People-watching while enjoying a few oysters is a pretty unbeatable combination, and luckily for you, Perla’s South Congress location and the supply of fresh oysters flown in daily from both coasts make it possible. They have all kinds – from the light, lemony West Coast Hama Hamas to the salty Fire Lake oysters from New Brunswick to Aunt Dotty’s sweet and buttery New England favorites. Each mussel is traditionally served with crackers, fresh horseradish, mignonette and cocktail sauce. We recommend ordering half a dozen at a time and sipping your way around the world.

East 11th Street
For those who consider smoked meat a religion, Franklin Barbecue is akin to a sacred temple. But even people with less fanatical devotions should know that the hype about this institution in Austin, from Bon Appetit to Anthony Bourdain to one of the best barbecue bars in the world, is repeated again and again we fine people at Thrillist, is very, very real. Simply put, nobody likes brisket like her, from the expertly seasoned rub that adds an extra flavor boost to the ends of the dish, to meat that’s smoked so tenderly that a toddler could tear it in half. A single bite is enough to take you on an easy journey into foodie nirvana.
