Erik CintronSeptember 24, 2015Fun place with good bar food and a good staff. Has a nice long bar serving craft beer. They have bands certain nights. The parking sucks. It was a little pricey for forest hills. Nachos were great
Great brunch menu, and the fact that you have the option to pick from so many diff kinds of alcohol beverages instead of keeping it only to mimosas and bloody marys is a sweet perk!
The Flying Pig is new to FH - we decided to go for Mother's Day brunch. The food was very good (peanut butter banana french toast...yum) and the waitress was friendly. We woudl definitely go back.
Marcella ObrienMay 19, 2013Tasted the duck confit and snails have to say it was yummy :) such a great atmosphere and great selection on beers , love the brunch menu ;) we will be back ;)
George LuhringOctober 1, 2013Despite all the criticism I found The Flying Pig agreat addition to the area. It's a nice place with an interesting Pub menu. The flagship burger was large and surprisingly good. I'd return.
Everything is amazing. Notably the sausages. Rabbit and duck. Very very good
Ken JohnstonApril 13, 2014Banana bread beer and Bacon Bleu Burger (on an English muffin). Breakfast, dinner, dessert all at the same time.
Matthew CaldecuttJuly 13, 2019Think that I ordered the wrong things for lunch -- a half dozen oysters with a grilled cheese and soup. Not interesting enough to warrant returning unless I'm free for dinner there
JANICE💯October 13, 2014Convenient go to sports pub for Forest Hills peeps to go to in the middle of Austin St. Wide selection of draught beers.
Fanny GFebruary 2, 2015Always liked this place, has a new name but it's still pretty decent neighborhood spot.
Mullica ZudsiriSeptember 10, 2018Nice selection of beers and on Sunday night some of the best local karaoke singers come out to perform.
Serena PhillipsMay 21, 2013Yummy food but expensive. Duck breast w gingerbread cake was delicious. Striped bass was flaky with a nice char. Good prompt service.
Martin KRMarch 21, 2015The fish and chips are awesome. Gets a little loud on a friday evening. No conversation possible.
It's a nice play to sit at the bar and grab a drink. Not for sitting down for dinner on a Friday night. Unless you want to scream in order to have a conversation.
They've got a pretty extensive list of beers on tap. Love me some IPA!
Robert Kydd-RobinsonMarch 22, 2015Great draft beer list, but the music was WAY too loud. Be prepared to scream to your friends.
DevonNovember 3, 2013Baked oysters and jalapeño mashed potatoes were great! Service is OK and music is way too loud for dinner time. And not enough wine in my damn glass. But Ok place overall.
Service was decent, the pork chop entree and the meatballs for an appetizer were both excellent. The food came quickly and cooked properly. Too pricey but all around fine fare.
Problem is the bar tending staff has no clue what they have in stock. I asked for a rye whiskey and was handed a menu of the type of whiskey (no where was the rye even listed) limited menu for food.
Bree the Bartender was really nice along with Lisa who's also a sweetheart
Duck confit with the snails is quite the dish. Also don't ignore their cocktails.
Antonio del RioJune 17, 2013I don't know what everyone is talking about with the bad service and non-knowledgable staff but sit at the bar and be seen by Bree or Rob; they'll take care of you.
ByronNovember 8, 2013Take a nap after ordering a beer. Seeing as it takes at least 30 mins for it to be poured.- ByronNovember 5, 2013Be prepared to wait 30 mins for you drinks when at a table. Apparently that's how long it takes to pour a couple of beers.
Carlos BotelleJuly 8, 2013Heard place should be slaughtered from oyher owners of bars!! Hahahahh. Keep steeling others menu looser
JoeOctober 7, 2014Have tried this place several times. Had fairly high expectations after the first visit, but it's been disappointing since. Food was disgusting and the service was lacking.
Kaity NgJune 22, 2013Bland food, slow service and gave our orders away to another party! $11 for FOUR ikea size meatballs is outrageous! Their alcohol and bill were the only items that they had given us the quickest.
Sasha LagombraAugust 30, 2014Good beer selection. Shouldn't call themselves a gastropub, the food is regular mediocre bar food
C MMay 16, 2013Such a horrible restaurant. The hostess looked like she was bored and couldn't be bothered. We had to ask 4 times for a server. Useless staff and a subpar menu. Go to Fridays or McDonald's
- Regina CalvariaMay 15, 2013Nice decor. Very loud. Nice staff. Sadly not vegetarian or vegan friendly.
- Neil MancusoMay 13, 2013Uninformed people forced interior. Tacky outfits for staff. Many drafts special homemade infused bourbons. Food appears overpriced with bad reviews.
- What a poor selection of alcohol. They don't keep any Canadian whiskey in stock. Stay away from the pulled pork sliders.
- Donna FitzAugust 21, 2015Food way too expensive and atmosphere WAY TOO LOUD! No decent happy hour either! A total bummer!
AVOID THIS PLACE! Given complementary bread, totally unaware we were going to get charged. Check your receipts if listed as "Open Food"
MichelleMay 21, 2014The change from Flying Pig to Austin Public is extremely disappointing. Decline in food quality & beer options, and poor service.
Delilah NankooJune 12, 2013The hostess does suck. No personality. The bar tender was cool. Didnt catch her name. But heard two other coworkers talking badly about a past customer not tipping them properly. Unprofessional.

"Best cake that you must try if you're a little indecisive is the caramel mousse cake. It's like nothing else you've ever tried but so comfortingly delicious."

"The poutine is legit and comparable to Montreal!! Really great staff, restaurant has a ton of seething, great option for before/after events at the stadium."

"Great place to see a show. Bleacher seats + general admission. Every seat offers a clear view of the stage."
