Review of Moonshine Grill

Moonshine rocks.

Moonshine rocks.

I've eaten there for years, and have never had a bad experience with the food or service. I've always called ahead when we have a large group (6+) coming in, or if it's a holiday (Moonshine is becoming a favorite NYE dinner spot). We've never had to wait for a table.

So when it came time to pick a spot for our wedding rehearsal dinner, we realized that Moonshine was the perfect spot. We had tons of guests who had never been to Austin, and they absolutely loved it. The restaurant was in walking distance to their hotel, and everyone is still talking about how much they loved Moonshine's gourmet twist on Texas homestyle food, and the awesome service from our bartender and waitstaff. We were on the north patio, and it was perfectly comfortable for our 50 guests.

Other reviewers are correct -- the food honestly gets four stars, not five, but the ambiance, the building's history, and the location are hard to beat. I haven't had the pleasure of going for brunch yet, but my favorite for dinner is a medium rare jalapeno hangar steak. The mint juleps are delish.
