Moonshine: The Best Sunday Brunch In Austin Food And Drink/Restaurant Reviews
Going for the best Sunday brunch in Austin
Every Sunday from 10:00 in the morning, until 2:30 in the afternoon, enjoy a great brunch for less than sixteen dollars. Top it off with Mimosa or a Bloody Mary for a dollar and fifty and your Sunday is almost done. If you want to while away the day, stay on for a little more grooving and start your Sunday evening with great cocktails and fine wine. Happy hour starts from 3:30 until 6:30 in this great spot which just won the Favorite Sunday Brunch accolade from the Austin Chronicle. Consistently, this place has been garnering restaurant poll awards from the Readers’ Sunday Brunch to the Readers’ Favorites in 2008, to the Best of Austin Awards and Critics Best Bar Snack in 2007.
That’s Moonshine Patio Bar and Grill for you, right at the corner of Red River and 3rd Street in downtown Austin. Just take note where you parked your car, as the menu is bound to make you forget everything else.
The best of Moonshine
Moonshine Patio Bar and Grill combines the best of classic American dishes with big city contemporary tastes. There’s the Beer Battered Asparagus and their own original Moonshine Corn Dog Shrimp. Texan favorites like Buffalo Meatloaf and Texas Flat Iron Steak complement the impressive menu. For the belly-conscious, they can go for lighter fare like the Indigo Spinach Salad or the Chicken Artichoke BLT. For a filling lunch, go for the Chicken Fried Steak with its creamy gravy or the Pecan Crusted Catfish in brown butter sauce.
With your martini or lemonade, you stay over till dinner and find the entrees equally enchanting. The Broiled Rainbow Trout and the Flat Iron Steak are popular choices. For a great finish to a wonderful meal, why not try these desserts – the Skillet Apple Pie with maple ice cream, or the Peanut Butter Mousse Pie?
The bar list is also a stunner, as cocktails are served with budget appetizers. Your martini is the Ruby Slipper and your margarita is the Silver Moon along with a range of mimosas and bloody marys.
Spending the whole day, starting off from the great Sunday brunch to the afternoon entrees and on to happy hour, time simply flies at the Moonshine Patio Bar and Grill.
Getting there and loving it
The area used to be called the Waterloo Compound, with its buildings replete with history. Pecan trees overhang a veranda and the limestone patio as diners traverse the walkways enroute to Moonshine.
Getting there is simple: from interstate 35, you take the first exit, Cesar Chavez, going downtown and turning right on Red River. The Moonshine Patio Bar and Grill is straight ahead then. If you’re coming from MOPAC, you take the 1st Street Exit heading for downtown and turning left this time on Red River.
Moonshine Patio Bar and Grill at 303 Red River in Austin is open all days of the week from 11:00 in the morning on weekdays and Saturdays, and earlier at 10:00 on Sundays. Sunday brunch is available from 10 to 2:30. For advanced booking, call 512-2368806 or email them at info@MoonshineGrill.com.
