I went to the Red Lobster in downtown Austin, Texas, last weekend for lunch. The place had a cozy and relaxed vibe with a sea-themed decor that made it feel warm and welcoming. I ordered the New Lobster Roll, which cost $46.79. It was a bit pricey, but the roll was packed with lobster and tasted really fresh. The staff was polite and quick, and they checked in on us often to make sure everything was okay. The restaurant wasn’t too busy, so we were able to enjoy our meal without waiting.

Here, I write about the local restaurants and dishes that capture the true spirit of our city, from beloved neighborhood joints to the latest up-and-coming spots. And, of course, I also take the time to rate them based on everything from taste to atmosphere—because who doesn’t love a good ranking?
