Since May 1st, Texas restaurants have officially been allowed to reopen their dining rooms at a limited capacity, and we want to provide you with the most up-to-date information that we have. For now, we’re simply going to focus on what we know: which places are opening back up and what to expect based on the state-wide restrictions. Like you, we’re monitoring the situation day-by-day (more like hour-by-hour), and we’ll continue to update this guide as restaurants reopen around the city.
Currently, the majority of Austin restaurants have not yet reopened their dining rooms. For our full guide to the city’s takeout and delivery options, check out the Ultimate Austin Delivery & Takeout Guide. We also have a guide to Austin bars that have opened. For more across Texas, see our guides to restaurants reopening in Dallas and Houston.
