Old School Bar and Grill

When I travel to a new city for work or a vacation, I frequently scout out restaurants ahead of time and try to hit as many highly rated places as I can.  Occasionally I like walking around and just stopping somewhere in the area that I am visiting and this is how I stumbled upon Old School Bar and Grill.  Some friends and I decided to have dinner together and thought we would just walk to 6th Street and find somewhere to eat.  After checking out a few places, we finally deciding to try this restaurant.

We were all starving and we decided to start with the Chicken Spinach Quesadillas.  These quesadillas were really good and had just the right blend of chicken, spinach, and pepper jack cheese.  The guacamole that came with them was also commendable.

Zilker Park Burger and Fries

I was in the mood for a burger and the restaurant had several that sounded appetizing.  After having an inner debate with myself, I finally decided to try the Zilker Park Burger, which was topped with guacamole, bacon, mayonnaise, and pepper jack cheese.  The burger was large with a juicy patty and the bun was light and slightly toasted.  The guacamole was the same delicious guacamole served with the quesadillas and blended well with the other ingredients.  The fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned with just the right amount of salt.

Creme Brûlée 

Our waiter recommended that we try the Creme Brûlée, which he claimed was so good that they only offered this one dessert choice.  This dessert was sweet, but not too sweet, and had a perfectly caramelized sugar crust.  I am usually not a huge fan of this dessert, but this was one of the better ones I have had in the last couple of years.  Other members of my party had the Club Sandwich and the Texas Two Step Burger.  They each gave their choices a thumbs up.  The service was as good as the food and we were all happy that we decided to stop in and try Old School Bar and Grill.
