One of the oldest burger spots in Austin, Sandy’s Barton Springs location has a drive-thru, a walk-up window, and some really solid, cheap burgers.

Head to Vespaio on South Congress to celebrate with great - but expensive - Italian food, or head to Enoteca Vespaio next door for a more casual night

Mattie’s at Green Pastures is a historical restaurant serving Southern food and a great brunch in Bouldin Creek.
