Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Cedar Park – 2024

An amazing brunch spot! Loved the food.. it was exquisite.. but it is quite expensive! Bruschetta was $16 for 3 pieces, I weeped a little! It would be an amazing place for a date! They have a wide selection of wines to go with the food.

Went for brunch with 3 friends and I must say we were all extremely impressed with our food! The service and atmosphere was great but seriously the food, truly amazing.

Very good first experience here today. Cocktails are great. Brunch is great. High marks for the espresso martini, house iced tea, and Redfin fish tacos. Staff and atmosphere were great. They have open air outdoor dining and a covered patio with glassed surroundings. Give this a try if you’re in the area, and come hungry!

The layout has changed since our last visit, no more booths, it's a lot more open and illuminated, but still a lovely ambiant. There's an outdoor area with a patch for kids to run around in - wish we'd seen that before being seated, but it was cold and rainy anyway. The menu is also substantially different. Several items have very unique combinations of ingredients. The pulled pork chile rejeno has raisins, walnut sauce, and pomegranate in it. I'm sure it's fine, but it caught me off guard. I went with the regular pulled pork enchiladas, which were incredibly filling. It was tasty, though somewhat plain. The verde sauce was nice. The pricing was surprisingly reasonable given how much everything is everywhere else these days. The kids fajita beef plate was perfect for our picky child, and she ravenously devoured her entire plate and heaping portion of black beans. The kids quesadilla was also a hit. We'd come back just because the kids actually ate their food! Service was top notch. A significant improvement over our last visit. Kyla was very attentive, showed care, and was all around lovely.

The food, drinks, and service were good. Definitely recommend both the watermelon and cucumber martinis. The queso had separated but other than that no complaints. It wasn't too busy so we were seated promptly. The staff checked in on us pretty frequently.

Best Mexican food we had after a while, we loved it! Unique selection of flavours.

Great little place. Service was excellent. Drinks were awesome. Ordered 3 different appetizers which all were amazing. The main entrees were plentiful, and looked amazing. We just felt that all the main dishes were too spicey and we all like a little kick. We understand that it's Cajun and Cajun has generally a kick to it but it really could have been kicked down a notch. Other than that it's a cool place and definitely worth a visit.

Last night was the second time my bestie and I ate at Mouton's, but the first time at this location. She has the award winning CFS - - and it was good, I don't usually care for CFS but the meat was tender and the breading crispy. I had the smoked meatloaf and wow, that was yummy. Just the right amount of smoke flavor and the gravy was delicious. The mashed potatoes were creamy and good, and even the green beans were flavorful, crisp and served with plenty of bacon crumbles.

Delicious food, fantastic service and a comfortable homey (not the clown) atmosphere. My wife and I have been coming to Mouton's for years. First the Leander location (RIP, we'll miss you Leander Mouton's ) and now the Cedar Park location. My wife absolutely LOVES the corn beef hash. I love a lot of things here. The country fried potatoes and Pain Perdu (French toast) are particularly delicious, so I definitely recommend those! Autumn was our server last time we were in and the service was magnificent. Eggfficient and on point. I love the fun and unique coffee cups! Again, very homey (not the clown). They even have a pool table and some dart boards if you come with friends and are looking for a group activity outside of shoving yummy foods in your face.

Very much enjoyed dining in here for a weekend lunch. I came across Mandola’s on an Eater/similar list and wanted to try it out. Heads up, this restaurant is cafeteria style: order, then eat yourself and your food will be brought to your table. There is outdoor as well as indoor seating (a main section in the centre and a second section through an archway on the side). There is also bar seating by the bar near the entrance. We got their garlic bread with mozzarella cheese and absolutely loved it. Their house bread served with spiced olive oil (complimentary) was so-so, nothing special. For vegetarians, there is one spaghetti option, one ravioli option, and one vegetarian Panini. I got the spaghetti Ortolano and definitely enjoyed it - thin spaghetti with lots of veggies and flavoured, simply with basil, onion, garlic, and olive oil. Others in our party,got the chicken Panini and the beef brisket which were also good. We finished with gelato (which you order separately at the gelato counter) - their straticella (vanilla with shards of delicious dark chocolate) is so good! They let us pick two flavours in the small size, which is perfect for one person. The atmosphere in the restaurant is loud and lively - leisurely lunch, catching up with friends. The outside seating overlooks a sizable kids play area. Overall, I had a decent lunch at Mandola’s, and it is definitely worth dining here, at least once to try it out.

We got in line to order just a little before 6:00 and by the time we were placing our order it was about 2 minutes after 6 :00 and we were cut out of the happy hour because they said it was on the computer and it automatically changed. I ordered a gluten-free veggie dish and it was not delicious. The pasta was heavy and the vegetables were mushy. I could only eat about three or four bites of it.

No one in my group wanted to cook for Thanksgiving. We ordered the family lasagne and the family chicken Parmesan. The lasagne comes with reheating instructions but the parm. Is not usually reheated. The cooks were extremely helpful with advice on how to reheat the chicken so it is not soggy and/or the breading crust does not fall off. We follow their directions and everything came out perfectly. We added a pot of green beans and it served 10 adults and six children with lovely leftovers.

Great place to eat but don't expect to be seated if you're short one person in your party. The salsa and beans are wonderful. Food is fantastic and always great service.

Food was great as always! Server was very friendly and responsive. The only issue was the tequila sunrise kept coming back tasting like it had peach flavor in it.

Very busy place. Full bar available. I had their poblano chicken - delicious. Their skinny margarita is wonderful as well. Very nice and friendly waitress. They would have gotten a 4 star overall, however, they write your CVV on the receipt for credit card payments. That's not acceptable and will stop me from going to them in the future.

Best Mediterranean food in North Austin! The food is fresh and delicious. The staff are always nice. I love their Specialty over Rice with Gyro. It's an entire meal with salad, rice, veggies, and flavorful gyro meat, with some tangy and mild spicy sauces. Please give Leyla's a try if you are in Cedar Park in NW Austin. You won't be disappointed. Oh, and I forgot to mention their baclava...Flaky, sweet, nutty, chewy, lots of honey...it's so good!

Wonderful staff and delicious food. I had the Gyro wrap combo. Place looked clean and inviting. I dined with a friend who invited me. Thanks for the great service and warm welcome.

Delicious! We ordered the chicken plate and falafel. Both delicious. Staff is super kind. They gave us a baklava to try since it was our first time. OMG it was heaven! We will definitely be coming back!

My co-workers and I came here for lunch one day from our training. We like to try out different types of food and saw this place on our radar. When we came it wasn’t too busy, the food was amazing, but certain parts of the entree kind of hit your taste buds in a surprising way. Some of the people in my group said their meals were not warm, but I am not sure if the food was supposed to be served that way or not. The whole restaurant is gorgeous inside and has the middle eastern feeling. The staff were very nice and attentive to our needs. Their lemon mint tea is a must try. I really enjoyed the flavor.

The food was fresh and tasted really good. We were offered their spicy red sauce for falafel and told it wasn’t spicy. Personally found it too spicy for my taste buds. Baklava was okay. The ambience was great and we were grateful for the outside seating

This was my first time at this restaurant. The food was delicious. The portions were great. I highly recommend this restaurant, family, friendly, and clean.

It’s been a while since we’ve been to Jack Allen’s, but we always enjoyed the food. This is our first time at the Cedar Park location. The place is nice and clean and has a rustic look and feel. Checking out the menu, everything under ‘starters’ sounded delicious, but we only ordered the pimento and cheese and the fried pickles. Both were very good. I had the crispy chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and the first two bites of the sandwich were great, but I felt the rest of the sandwich after the initial taste was just OK. The sweet potato fries were amazing. The kids had a quesadilla, which was OK and another one had the mac & cheese which they didn’t like. For drinks we ordered the breaking bad margarita, which was excellent. We also ordered the cucumber jalapeño margarita and that was really good. The Customer Service was pretty good and our server checked in on us occasionally. Overall, a thumbs up for this visit.

Terrific service! Excellent appetizers and drinks, especially the fact apps were half price during happy hour! We had the barbacoa stackers and catfish which were both very flavorful! Soup of the day was red pork pozole which is one of our favorites, so we both had a bowl as our main course. Flavor was amazing but soup lacked pork and hominy. Disappointed that it was mostly broth with a few bits of pork and hominy with cilantro and cabbage floaters.

We had an initially eager waiter that took our order, but never came back to refill drinks or check on us. Two crackers and a teaspoon of pimento cheese for a starter was a bit insulting, and not sure why that's even given. The food was hot and fresh but bland; not sure if that's from lack of salt or what, but we were overall unimpressed with flavor profiles.

We ordered an order for pickup. We thought it was pretty slow for a Saturday at 6pm. When we got home we found why. They sent mostly the correct order. Maybe they should get a star or two more. However, their Buffalo Bill burger now featured a leathery piece of bacon on a dried out patty, no blue cheese and came on what I assume was a whole wheat bun (it was so burned I couldn't tell). They were creative and married buffalo sauce with pesto. Together at last. Upon trying to reach someone via their phone number, I was sent to voicemail. Upon trying to reach them the next day, same voicemail. No one has bothered to return my call. I know now why they're slow on a Saturday night.

I don't know how many times I have driven pass this place on a weekly basis. I kept wanting to stop in for a meal and try them out. I went in for a quick lunch with my wife.. and we both were blown away.. the burgers were juicy and flavorful. The fries are good, kind of reminded me of fries from that "multiple guys" place but not as greasy. I can't wait to go back again!

The service at the counter was great! Very nice! Bartender was not so much. Burger and burger bowl were fine. We decided to try the nacho fires instead of our usual truffle fries. There was so much taco seasoning - tasted like the packet from the grocery store - that you couldn’t taste the cheese or fries. The fries were a little hard and we decided that they must use yesterday’s fries for these and drown them in the seasoning so no one notices. The avocado in the fries was hard as a rock as well. Marg also gave me a headache, though they claim they use “gold.”

I visit this Thai restaurant almost every day, and their Khao Soi is, without a doubt, one of my favorite dishes. This rich, coconut milk-based soup is the epitome of comfort, with its creamy, aromatic broth packed with flavor. The egg noodles are perfectly cooked, offering a satisfying texture that complements the smoothness of the soup. The chicken is always tender and juicy, making each bite a delight. What sets this Khao Soi apart is the balance of spices. The soup is subtly sweet yet has just enough heat to keep things exciting without overwhelming the palate. The fresh toppings—crispy fried noodles, cilantro, and lime—add a wonderful crunch and brightness, providing a contrast to the velvety richness of the broth. It’s clear that the ingredients are always fresh, and the dish is consistently flavorful. Aside from the food, the service here is excellent. The staff is always friendly, and the restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that feels like a second home. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, the Khao Soi will leave you craving more. I can honestly say this place has become my go-to spot for Thai food, and it never disappoints. Highly recommended!

Worst basil fried rice: Worst I've ever ate. Tasteless and bland. More rice quantity and very less basil and veggies.

The food was fantastic, but order takeout from this place! The service was absolutely horrible. It took 30 minutes after we ordered to get our entrees and our appetizer arrived 15 minutes after that. The server didn’t refill water, didn’t check in, and every time he dropped off a plate or stopped by, he ran away as quick as he could. When I finally called him over, he poured half of the water in my cup and half all over the table! No music playing indoors either, it felt awkward and very unwelcoming.

I went for lunch, but it was a dark atmosphere that was not burdensome. The gulf's oysters were good value for money, the clam chowder wasn't great, but everything else was delicious. Server was kind and checked often. Nevertheless, I gave it 4 stars because I was very thirsty when I got home after dinner. I can recommend it and I want to try other food next time

Fresh, hot, flavorful. The best seafood in the area. The atmosphere is great. They close between 3:00-4:30 then let’s get our eat on!!! My Father’s Day gift, that’s right, Surf n Turf. Today 5/14, we are here at one of our favorite spots. CJ was the best, the food was quick hot and fresh

What a sweet surprise! I was craving some fried shrimp but needed a place close to.my office. I snuck in, asked for quick service. Hot delicious shrimp and wonderful tasty steamed veggies for a really reasonable price! It's a gem!

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner and received excellent service! The staff was friendly and our waitress was quick to serve us and provide recommendations since it was our first time here. We started with the Harvest #4 appetizer which was very good. Our cocktails were well made and delicious, we drank the house margarita, Cadillac margarita, and harvest margarita. The harvest margarita was small and a bit strong for my liking, but tasted good! The Cadillac margarita and house margarita were my favorites. I ordered the Avocado & black bean nachos off of the vegetarian menu and my boyfriend ordered one of the pork meals. We both enjoyed our food, the presentation and flavor were great! I would say the price is slightly above average compared to other Mexican restaurants, but overall a wonderful experience and will eat here again!

I received very good service and really enjoyed my shrimp po boy. The shrimp was seasoned well and drizzled with jalapeño aioli. I had a tasty sangria, too.

The taquitos, mashed potatoes, and cheesecake were good. The portion of mashed potatoes was way too small. The meat in the meatloaf didn’t taste fresh. The onion rings on the meatloaf were not good. The presentation was nice. I’d definitely go back.

Medium rare steak came full rare on one half, and way undersized for the cost! Size of my hand -- for $35, at lunch. Asparagus so small and dry it poked my mouth. 4 out of 5 of us did not enjoy our plates. But the server was great. Way overpriced and not yummy. Longhorn, in contrast, has one 50% larger and for 2/3 the price, with plump amazing asparagus, and done right every time. This is the second time we've been, last time was the same. Won't ever be back.

Ordered medium rare steak, it was basically raw. Came in about 9:40 when they close at 11, waiter had an attitude but it was a little busy so didn’t think much. Seen some other table give her problems so I’m assuming she was giving them the same attitude. Still tipped bc you never know the type of day someone is having. Seen a couple other reviews about undercooked meat so I would recommend not ordering steaks here lol. Love bjs but probably won’t be returning to this location.

Janiece was so mindful and demure. She was attentive but gave us our space, made recommendations, and was overall an awesome server. The food was amazing as usual, and BJ’s always has a wide assortment of dishes that are all good. We shared the prime rib with sides and the Graham Cracker S’mores Pizookie. So tasty!

It's very cool to find a Venezuelan restaurant. There's not tons of them around, but it was incredible. The bowl I had .. you picked a protein and then a base and then six items out of about twelve, and as you can see, it's just spectacular. She loved hers also. The gentleman that owns the place waited on us, and he was super quiet super nice guy, and it just could not have been much better...

Amazing restaurant. The waiter walked us in and explained how we just have to come over to the register for her to take our order while the owner was making sure we were comfortable and understood what we were ordering. We ordered the Beni nachos, special fries and empanadas for appetizers. They were amazing. The fries were crispy and fresh while the nachos were loaded with all the good stuff. Wasn't a fan of the empanadas since it was made of corn but crispy anyways and the filling was delicious. For mains, we ordered the tropical arepa, arepa pabellon, the cachapa pabellon and the chicken patacon with extra jalapenos. Each and every dish was a new experience for me but it tasted so good. They had a salsa and sauce on the table for us to use which made the food so much better. Once again, I wasn't a fan of the corn flatbread in the arepas. It was too dry even with the sauce but the filling was delicious. It was a mixture of black beans, soft shredded beef and paneer. It tasted amazing. The tropical arepa was so fresh and the veggies went well with the shrimp. The cachapa and patacon were absolutely loaded and the plantains on them brought the whole dish together. Really good . Definitely a 10/10 and would come here again. Ps: Don't order too much food like me. We had to take back the cachapa and patacon.

Really good food, really good service and really good atmosphere. We loved the food and the very attentive service. We'll be back for sure. Great cost benefit. Fair price.
