Lindsey Higgins Top 7 Eats and Sips in Austin, TX: A Foodie s Must-Try Guide

Hi! I’m Lindsey Higgins, and I recently traveled to Austin, Texas, courtesy of Sun Country Airlines, Minnesota’s Hometown Airline™. Follow my adventures on Instagram with #SCAGetaway!

Austin's dining and drink scene is boundless and a major city highlight. Here are seven standout eats and sips from my trip, curated for fellow food lovers.

  1. Elotes at La Condesa: Grilled corn topped with cotija cheese—simply unreal!
  2. Housemade breakfast pastries at Mozart’s Coffee on Lake Austin. Serene lakeside vibes that felt like home in Minnesota.
  3. Mimosa trio at Jacoby’s: Creative fresh-squeezed juice pairings with champagne for a fun brunch twist.
  4. Shrimp and grits at Jacoby’s: Creamy, cheesy perfection with savory marinated shrimp.
  5. Kentucky Porch Tea cocktail at Mattie’s: A refreshing standout sip.
  6. Avocado popsicle from Steel City Pops on South Congress: A natural, healthy treat with just the right sweetness.
  7. Any cocktail at June’s All Day in South Congress: Fun, inventive, and delicious!

Pro Tips: Book reservations for peak times like Friday and Saturday evenings. If you forget, add your party to the waitlist and enjoy a signature cocktail at the bar—tables often open up quickly, or you may love the bar scene enough to stay!
