   We went to Austin’s because it was highly rated for Incline village. We were at a marriage conference across the street @ the Hyatt Regency. The steamed artichoke appetizer was excellent. I had the meatloaf because it’s one of my favorite comfort foods and I was disappointed. It seemed like it was over microwaved leftovers. Part of it was dry and inedible. I regret not getting the chicken fried steak My wife had the grilled portobello mushroom and enjoyed it very much. The sides of mashed potatoes and gravy and asparagus were both very good. The service was good although I don’t think the waiter knew the difference between an IPA and a hazy IPA. The ambiance was ok, it’s like a small town diner with a wooden bar. Overall, when we come back to Incline we’ll probably try some of the other places around the village.

   Food was ok. Good not great. Salad portions were huge. If you’re hungry get that. Waiter was good. Although he was hard to understand.

   We’ve dined at Austin’s our last three visits to Incline. Our first overall experience (two years ago or so) was so exceptional, we decided to return rather than try new restaurants in the area. I loved ithe beet salad so much I ordered it again the following year. They seemed to skimp on everything that made it so great the first time. They packed this big bowl with mainly lettuce and Parmesan cheese, and were beyond conservative with what made the salad so delicious to begin with. Two thin slices of avacado and I removed enough lettuce to make 4 side salads. My husband’s steak was also exceptional our first visit, and abysmal to say the least after that. We didn’t let our second experience sway us from giving it one more chance. We really hoped we’d get the same memorable experience from a restaurant that made such an impression. From dirty bathrooms without toilet seat covers, to a broken door that slammed every time someone walked in, to our once again disappointing meals and cocktails …we are officially done with Austin’s.

   Without a doubt the best chicken fried steak I’ve ever had! Even the mashed potatoes and asparagus was top 10!

   The restaurant and bar are great. The management is awful. I made a reservation on open table and I did not press the confirm button in an email I received the day before my visit. The restaurant said my reservation was therefore cancelled. They did not do anything for me except put us on the waiting List. Waited 39 minutes from my reserved time. When I explained to manager that I was disappointed in how this was handled he told me that the restaurant doesnt have anything to do with open table. I never cancelled the reservation and I would have at least thought they would have put me on top of waiting list. Disappointed on how this was handled

   Nice log cabin ambience among the trees. Interesting menu choices. Server was very friendly, if a little uninformed.

   We loved our dinner celebration of my son’s engagement. Cozy, warm, and delicious and the staff helped make our time very festive. Even a shot ski😁

   The hostess was less than friendly she may need to rethink this job for her! Server was better. I ordered chicken fried steak and my husband got the chicken sandwich. We both shared a side Cesar salad. Food was delicious.

    While we always enjoy lunch at Austin’s, dinner not so much. We had a reservation, we were ignored while other walk-ins were seated. The noise level was horrid, food average. I recommend lunch, just not dinner.
