Fearless Critic Austin Restaurant Guide

Brutally honest, cheeky, and fiercely independent, Fearless Critic, the definitive restaurant guide to Austin, Texas, is back in a brand-new third edition—bigger and better than ever, now with 500 reviews, completely revised and updated, and 75 brand-new places to eat since the last edition!

• A definitive reference: covers 500 places to eat across Austin, the suburbs, and Texas Hill Country, from power lunch spots to quirky wine bars, Round Rock sushi to Lockhart BBQ

• Helps you dine better for less: dozens of little-known bargain finds, from taco trucks to Korean groceries, ribs to tibs

• Comprehensive and easy to use: 80 pages of detailed lists, plus special vegetarian and late-night dining guides

• Trustworthy: by a panel of undercover local critics who dine incognito, don’t accept freebies, and don’t pull punches
