About this business
This local favorite doesn't disappoint even the hungriest cowboy. Southwest favorites offered in huge portions are served with a bevy of libations to boot. Think saloon atmosphere with bistro fare but don't be fooled, the food packs a big punch. Try the green Chile mac and cheese or their ever-so-juicy 22oz bone-in ribeye, to make you remember why you love Texas cooking. Locals can't get enough of the oven baked kettle of green Chile pork stew. The mood here is just as lively as the food, thanks to tasty drinks like the Roar... read more

Favorite Spot for Entertaining – I recently brought some out of town work associates to The Roaring Fork. The staff was friendly and accomodating from the second we walked in the door. The work associates that I brought were from L.A. and they were extremely impressed with the wine list. Our server went over and above what was required and even had the valet bring our car around so we didn't have to wait outside in the rain. Even though the service and wine were great, the highlight was still the food. The chef really paired... read more
Hugely appealing burger...no scallops please – Take it for what it is, a chain and pretty standard upscale bar food. The "big azz" burger delivers in a big way. Drinks pretty good and reasonable - given the atmosphere. Never order the scallops. I have made better at home and they only give you about two. Just scallops on a plate. No garnish no veggies nothing - big disappointment. However I recommend taking a buddy during happy hour and just getting a burger. You won't be disappointed.
Way Overrated. AVOID – After reading the reviews, I was looking forward to eating at Roaring Fork. We had an 8:00 reservation, weren't seated until 8:30, didn't get our appetizer until 9:15, no entrees until 10:00. It wasn't worth the three hour agony. If you're looking for a good place to eat downtown, there are plenty, but avoid this one. Service is atrocious and from other diner's reactions, it wasn't just our table having problems. Amazing they've stayed in business this long.
Great restaurant – I went here with my dad who had never been to Austin before. He now jokes that if anything he will return to eat at there again!! The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was very cool, calm, and relaxed.
a must visit – I was told about this place by someone special, so I figured they wouldn't lead me wrong. The wine list was sufficient and the food was definitely above average. The best part of the night was by far the company I had. The service seemed to be lacking at times, but that didnt seem to be a problem considering I was only interested in one thing at the table. I would highly recommend this place if you want to have a night to remember of good wine, food, and of course about those sitting with you. Roaring Fork wil... read more
Roaring Fork Review – Greeted by a ignorant hostess. Waiter seemed to be zombied out on another planet. Food was excellent, lots of good flavors. Food was delivered to table by other people other than waiter. Waiter was busy so manager ringed our check up. Calamari was very good.
Chef Krellenstein is the key – I frequent the Roaring Fork as much as humanly possible. The drinks are always great and the food is incredible. Sure its a Robert Magrath restaruant but the key to its success is the Executive Chef, Brian Krellenstein, he adds his own personnal touch to every meal. He has developed an extensive menu of southwest cuisine that is bold and flavorful.
Love it, Love it, Love it – Lovely food, atmosphere & you definitely get what you pay for. Service has been slightly lacking, but not so bad that I would stop going, the food is too good! Whether it's appetizers, entrees or deserts, everything I've tried ROCKS! I've been for lunch a few times and dinner a few times and never been dissapointed with the food. Inventive, melt-in your mouth combinations!!
Fantastic!!!! – I am a regular at the Roaring Fork and will swear by the food there. The service has never been less than perfect and the servers are super friendly. Out of the many restaurants in the area, I definitely think that the Roaring Fork is without a dought the best. It is still a fairly new place and it will take a little while to catch on, but it will explode soon. You should at least keep an open mind and give it a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
