HGG Restaurant Review - Justine's (Austin, TX)

Went to check out this place over Labor Day weekend. Thanks to this very board, I enjoyed quite an awesome meal in an awesome town. The patio was fun and vibrant with misters to make the humidity tolerable. The wait stuff was textbook Austin...lots of tattoos, funky outfits, odd shoes and the laid back personalities to match. Everything about this place is great. I would highly recommend giving it a shot and can say that I will be back next time I'm in Austin.











They have their usual menu and a daily one to choose from...we got some from both. Pics below.








We had the Tartare and the Escargot for appetizers. Food was great!







For entrees, I got the venison and the Mrs. (no pics) got the duck confit. Both were VERY delicious and cooked just right. Full of flavor. ....and yes,the duck was gone before I knew it, so no pic.





The "backyard" of this place has some bizarre things, as expected. A neon pagoda lights up the entire area and from would I saw was a sitting/smoking area for the patrons. Then there was this wildlife room with some funky shite in it. These 2 kiddos were in there most of the night, so I just snapped a pic with them in it. There is also one of those "old time photos" truck there (like many theme parks have), but we didn't wait in line to get one taken.
