My first time to visit. After getting off the golf course I was pretty hungry and thirsty. Since I had to make a stop at fry's electronics I decided to stop in. I had a bubba burger and really enjoyed it. I ordinarily don't like hot peppers but they didn't pack too much heat for me. Actually made the burger taste pretty darn good. The fries were good too but I couldn't eat them all. I think the heat got to me being exposed to it for hours. After drinking a couple beers faster than normal I filled up really fast. I was shocke... read more

Don't waste time and $ here. – Wadded piece of yellow paper found in half eaten salad brought no apology from waiter and a smirk and suggestion that it does look like salad from the manager. No I didn't want another salad. When we looked at the bill found we were not charged for one.Other places would have someone actually speak the words. There are restaurants with excellent food and service in Austin. Why is this place still open? I'm sorry I hadn't read these reviews first. They really do not care. I'm off to use mouthwas... read more

Yes. Bad Service. – As all the other reviews indicate, the attitude here is awful. They know it, because there's no "feedback" button on their website, and they are, no doubt, tired of reading complaints from mere customers. They know it and they don't care. They don't care if your glass sits empty for 20 or 30 minutes. They don't care if you've got somewhere to go, and they have your credit card for 20 or 30 minutes. The only time I've gotten decent attention from the waitstaff at Opal's is when the giant Amazon lesbian pre... read more

worst service EVER!! – The service was the worst I've ever experienced. It took 30 minutes for someone to come over to take our order and it took another hour for them to bring the food. We talked to a manager but he didn't even manage to apologize for their poor service. His attitude was like "so, our service is bad, what do you want me to do about it?". They must've had one cook and 2 waiters and even that, the service would've been a lot better. I ordered a baha fish taco and it wasn't even warm when it came out. It will ... read more

Poor chefing !! – My husband and i discovered this other opal divine north of Mopac, when we bought a house. Last Saturday, was the second time we went there. My husband likes their beers because he is German and enjoys going to a place with lots on tap. That day was just disappointing. The waiter was very cool, but there seemed to be a communication break down between the waiter and the chef. The drinks were correct. But as far as the food, it was what we say in England "wishy washy". It seemed like the chef was asleep or j... read more

Abhorrent service! – I have been a waiter, so I am a good tipper and let a lot of stuff slide. However, this place had perhaps the worst service I've ever experience in my entire life. It took 20 minutes and me getting up to speak with the host to even get a waitress to acknowledge our presence. The food came out quickly and was well prepared. They did have a lot of beers on tap, and it wasn't too crowded. However, all of this was completely overshadowed by the fact that the waitress completely ignored us. We sat with empty ... read more

Bad food, bad location, bad service == bad business. We tried it twice, you should avoid it! – I visited twice with a group of 3 friends for lunch. Both times, we got very poor service, bad food, and it just took forever to get in and out. The first time, I tried the philly cheesesteak. It's featured on the menu, and looked good. What I got was nothing like what was in the menu. The cheese was runny, the bread soggy, and the meat was nonexistant! There was enough for about 1/3 of the bun, and it took me 30 minutes to get thi... read more

Opal Divine, you let us down! – My wife and I went to Opal Divine's for the first (and last) time the other day. OK, I was expecting pub food, but this was BAD. The beer was cold and the atmosphere was fine but it went downhill when the food came! My wife ordered the Grilled Portobello sandwich. She said it tasted burnt, like it was dragged through the coals! I ordered Shrimp Tacos. It was supposed to be served with shredded cabbage but there were literally 8 tiny, tiny pieces of cabbage that would fit into a teaspoon (has t... read more
