About the restaurant

Habana Restaurant and Bar is a family owned and operated since 2001 that specializes in Caribbean cuisine. Serving lunch and dinner, this restaurant makes everything in house from scratch since day one. Habana Restaurant offers plenty of indoor and covered outdoor seating (including our tropical Cabanas) and is good for families, small to large groups and other special occasions. Start with an appetizer like the Cuban nachos, papa rellena, croquettes, and empanadas. Feel like sharing? Get the tropical ceviche, sweet plantains (maduros) or the yucca fries. For the main course, try the world-famous Cuban sandwich, carne con pappa, chuleta fritas (fried pork chops), arroz con pollo, or the ropa vieja. Our full-service bar also serves the best mojitos and pina coladas in town along with a plethora of rum-based drinks.

Habana was amazing. We took a friend out who was visiting for Canada and we were all very impressed by the drinks and the food. Our waiter was also the bartender and gave us great advice on drinks and food. It is a bit pricy but overall it was a fantastic experience.

Surprised at level of service, as I typically do not get great service in Cedar Park. It was very noisy, but food was excellent.

Mia was an excellent server and made our evening extra special. The food was delicious. The only negative was the restaurant is being remodeled- so the main dining room was crowded.

East Austin

About the restaurant

In 1949, Uptown Sports Club opened as a neighborhood spot for locals on the Eastside to drink, bet, watch the game and hold court.
Uptown Sports Club has found its second life thanks to Aaron Franklin and a handful of friends united by their deep love for Austin. Same building. Same neighborhood. Same soul. Just thoughtfully reimagined for the East Austin of today.
Uptown is your home base for great food, coffee, cocktails and community. We keep East Austin hours. Serving up a Texan take on Louisiana homestyle brasserie fare and slinging classic cocktails from lunchtime ’til late-night. No rush. No fuss. Come as you are daily or nightly.

Love coming here! Great service and food. We like going for brunch and the place can be very festive which we like. Many places say they have great biscuits but this place really does and they’re always consistent.

Prices continue to rise, as with everything! The food is delicious and the service is wonderful, but the prices make it more and more difficult.

This was our first time visiting Oasthouse Kitchen + Bar, and we will definitely be back. Our server, Ty, was wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable about the beer selection, very friendly and also pointed out a food allergy for someone at our table. He was attentive and I would 100% ask for him again. The burger was delicious. Top 10 in Austin for me! If you have kids, they have a nice playground, and if you left the kids at home for a date night, I would absolutely recommend Oasthouse!

Came with some friends. We had Snapper, meatloaf and mushroom and pork enchiladas. Food was good and unique flavors. Not your typical Mexican food. Vegetables were nicely done. Don’t recommend the meatloaf though. Too sweet and barbecue like. Nice atmosphere but between the live music and the crowd noise it was impossible to hear conversation at your table. I hope they put in some acoustic baffles soon. It really diminishes the experience.

We ordered beef fajitas and received chicken fajitas. the server Michon recognized our order was incorrect and replaced our meal immediately. The trash can nachos could have used a little more cheese. they didn't stick together like they should have.
