East Austin Restaurants

Food was absolutely delicious and service impeccable too, highly recommend, will definitely go back for more soon!

Amazing food! Every time I am in town, this is my favorite meal!

We arrived and it was super busy. The hostesses were obviously working very hard to get people seated but diners were lingering obviously longer than expected. They did their best to accommodate us and we ended up sitting at the bar - which was an incredible experience. We enjoyed talking with the bartenders and the food was amazing. We’ll definitely be back.

Stopped in for a late lunch and we loved it. Great service and food.

The customer service at Space Cowboy was outstanding from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. I had made a reservation for myself and my 7-year-old son. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the host, Kai, who promptly showed us to our seats. My son was immediately captivated by the decor and the sight of robots delivering food to other diners. Having visited Space Cowboy before, I knew there wasn’t a dedicated kids’ menu, but I wanted to introduce my son to new flavors and expand his palate. Our server, Kristyn, started by asking if I had dined there before and explained which meals could be customized to suit my son’s tastes. Her knowledge and attentiveness were impressive, and I appreciated her recommendations. The menu also highlighted which cocktails could be transformed into mocktails, so I let my son choose one for himself. For him, we ordered the Cowboy Ribeye Sliders, Stardust Sliders, and the Life Water mocktail. The sliders and fries were prepared without extra toppings, and ketchup was provided, which my son thoroughly enjoyed. The Life Water was a fun and flavorful choice—fizzy like soda but more unique and refreshing. I started with the Seafood Aguachile, a dish I fell in love with during my first visit in April 2024. Since then, I’ve tried aguachile at other restaurants, but none compare to the version at Space Cowboy. I was thrilled to see it still on the menu, as their offerings change frequently. The serrano sauce was thoughtfully placed on one side of the bowl so my son could try it. To my surprise, he enjoyed it, though he stuck to the shrimp. For the main course, I had the Piri Piri Chicken and Seafood Risotto. The chicken was perfectly smoked, and the accompanying sauce elevated the dish. It was generously portioned, enough for both of us to share. The risotto was our favorite—it was my son’s first time trying scallops, mussels, and clams, and to my deli
