Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in West Austin / Westlake

Just really tasty yummy food!! And cute place with attentive staff.

my wife and I went not knowing what to expect by some of the other reviews we saw, but were unbelievably surprised by not only the atmosphere the service and the food, but just by the overall experience. if you are lucky enough to have Kevin as your server, listen to his advice, he knows what he’s talking about. He let us the right way regarding food and drink, and everyone was incredibly attentive during a busy night. can’t recommend going there enough! 

Food and service were excellent. Had a party of six which allowed us to try a wide selection of choices. Standouts were the oysters and the whole Red Snapper.

Excellent. Staff, especially our waitperson - “Dace”? was personable, professional and respective of our requests.

Underdog has been named Austin’s Best New Restaurant 2023 and one of Austin’s best restaurants — but it’s still underrated, in my humble opinion. It’s that good. Underdog should be named the the best in Texas, the Southwest, the U.S. Underdog’s food keeps getting better and better. Underdog’s wine program is top notch. Co-owner Richard Hargreave is among the country’s best wine professionals. I’ve been around the block a few times in this department and Richard shows me something new every time I go. All I say is “hey Rich — what should I get?” Spot on. And Underdog’s service team is so sweet. Most have been there since the start — which says a lot about the place. Go now.
