Two Hands Austin

“This is like a casual elevated upscale vibe that I normally don’t enjoy because of how expensive it is and sometimes it just feels pretentious, but I genuinely feel like this place nailed it. The food is still affordable for young people that don’t have six figure jobs but also has something to offer for upscale guests. I have to give a round of applause to Sam the bartender. He was genuinely amazing and it’s such a good job explaining the menu to us. I like this place because of the people, but don’t get me wrong. The food was amazing and the beer was cold. I do plan on returning and hopefully run into Sam again he genuinely treated our group amazing and I have nothing but nice things to say about him and the rest of the staff, especially the coffee bar baristas. I don’t know how they work so fast but everything they make taste so good. We got coffee three times a over the span of three days.”

“Treated myself out for dinner and glad I chose Two Hands. I contemplated on getting the Steak and Frites ($35) but ended up getting the Two Hander Burger (Double Cheeseburger with fries for $20) and 5 oz Steak ($15). Basically paid for the price of the Steak and Frites Combo, but got a bit more variety. The double cheeseburger was delicious. The patty was a good portion. Not too thick but enough to make you full. I enjoyed the petite size of the French fries, they were nice and crispy. The steak was absolutely amazing, and melted in my mouth. I highly recommend the side order of the 5 oz seared range Montana wagyu steak. It was absolutely worth it. Friendly service and relaxing vibes. I’ll be back, give them a try!”

“We went to Two Hands for brunch on a Sunday. It was busy, but not overcrowded, and we had a reservation! We started with Crispy Brussels Spouts and they were defininitely a favorite and so delicious! The tables on either side of us ordered the Brussels as well! I had the Two Hander Burger and it was great. Very good Montana Waygu beef! It comes with shoestring style french fries that reminded me of my childhood and were so crisp and tasty (see picture!). We also had the Salmon Quinoa Bowl which is a tasty, healthy choice, salmon was terrific. The Steak and Egg was quality. The steak was slightly underseasoned but the French anchovy dressing more than made up for it! The hashbrowns and egg were both great with it! Lastly, we had the Smashed Avo Toast with smoked Salmon and it was wonderful. Also recommend the Hot Vanilla Orange Blossom Latte and for dessert, the Banana Walnut Bread topped with Espresso Mascarpone, so decadent!”

“Update 5/29: After a nice email exchange with Levi he invited me and my fiancé back for a meal. Service was better this time, especially Joey the host. Now I feel more comfortable returning. Especially since their coffee and breakfast burrito are so good. Thanks Levi and Joey for being helpful and kind! Made a reservation for my bachelorette group for brunch. My complaint is with the service not the food/drinks (they came out fast and were tasty). I know everyone is human and has off days but our server felt cold and didn’t introduce herself. When she brought my sister’s orange juice she spilled it accidentally all over her backpack. She came back with a new juice and towel but never apologized. My sister was upset and unable to get the stains off her backpack. I live locally and have had much better service here before but this negative experience makes me feel uncomfortable returning or recommending to others.”

“Overall experience was that this restaurant was a bit too pricey for what we got, both in food/drinks and service. $15 for two lemonades and a can of coke for my kids, $19 French toast was a bit high for what we got, and while the server was really nice, service wasn't the best. Coffee sweeteners were forgotten when requested (daughter went to go grab one under the checkout station for me), no stirrer for the coffee (used butter knife to improvise), drip coffee refills $1 (unnecessary I think). Add-on for my meal was forgotten. I had to request it be taken off the tab. The food was good, no complaints on that. I just don't think it was worth the price. It is in a trendy spot right on touristy South Congress, so I guess that can be justification for mark ups.”
