Lonesome Dove Austin Reviews
Not worth the price
This is a beautiful place with exceptional service but the food was not great. The prices are high so I expected more but got soso. The Brussels were tasty once you found one not burnt but the carrots were good. My husband had a cut to order steak

Just based on where it's located in town, I feel like you
Just based on where it's located in town, I feel like you have a pretty good idea what the quality and price will be before you walk in. I really did enjoy the ambience and the service, the food was delicious and they made sure to make you feel
We had a really unfortunate dining experience.
We were there to celebrate a graduation. Ordered our apps, salad, and entrees all at once as the waiter asked. While we were eating our apps they brought out the salads making us feel rushed, but being graduation weekend, that made sense. But then we
Appetizers were good and salad was okay.
Entrees were not served for almost 2 hours after ordering and we were told multiple times that our order was coming but ultimately it was not ready until 2.5 hours after we were seated. At this price point, serving entrees 2.5 hours after being seate

5 Star, I took a group of 7 and this place had a great vibe, the servers were knowledgeable and attentive. The food was outstanding, great appetizer options and the Elk was amazing. Cocktails and wine options were also great. I will go again.

There's a real theme in Austin these days - Amazing food, less than average service. I cannot stop thinking about the pork chop we got here. It's a two day meal and they just absolutely know how to get a good char on it. The appetizers

George was awesome! Great attention to detail in serving our large group. Very personable! Definitely coming back! Food was great. Max and cheese is a must. Get the Redfish.
Made a reservation a long time before coming here on
Made a reservation a long time before coming here on vacation only to be disappointed. I had many wonderful experiences at LD in Fort Worth when I lived there. My gf and I arrived 15 minutes early and were told to wait at the bar. We got a couple of
Nice place for a family dinner
Came here while visiting my family in Austin and really enjoyed our service and food. We got a bunch of apps and drinks to share. My favorite was the rib bite but everything we had was really good. It was very nice on the inside and we had excellent
Out of the West with Some of the Best
Meats that might have been served 150 years ago in the West, rabbit, snake, elk, and steer, are prepared masterfully in modern and creative ways. There is a casual elegant atmosphere with attentive, friendly service. This is not New York chic. A
Unique food and ordering experience
An excellent dinner spot in a cozy, well-curated space! Their menu is full of unique dishes youโll have trouble finding elsewhere. I was immediately sold when our server shared that we could order however many pieces per appetizer we wanted! We cam
Perfect dining experience.
Delicious food, excellent service with particular attention to food allergy issues, great atmosphere, and a pleasantly quite dining room.
Great Food and Service
The service: Jonathan at the bar was somehow able to hold a friendly conversation while in constant motion making drinks. Great bar service! Rick (my server) was both friendly and very knowledgeable about the food. The food was fantastic! Elk Slide
One of the best meals of my life
I have been fortunate to travel to 40 US States, plus Europe and Asia, and I have to say my experience at Lonesome Dove Austin rates as my best dining experience ever. No exaggeration. We had a party of 7. It was easy to make the reservation and we
Good start with some bumps
My friends and I really enjoyed the food, ambience and service in our recent lunch experience. Our server, Naomi ,was attentive, helpful and efficient. Unfortunately she also had to keep delivering bad news regarding unavailable menu items like the p
Pricey but an experience
From the eclectic menu to the smoke infused cocktails, itโs certainly not your average high-end restaurant experience. If you are looking for something different; look no further. While some restaurants try exotic menu items just to be unique, th

Be prepared to pay up, very expensive. Unique menu with attentive service. Ordered Elk tenderloin and was served but 3 small medallions, one of which was an end cut well done. However, party member raved about the lamb chops. Not the greatest locatio

I don't know why people are giving this place low reviews.
It's wonderful! My husband has been to several locations and says it's very consistent. This was our first experience at this downtown Austin location and we had no quarrels. Started with the blue corn lobster hush puppies, deviled gulf coast blue cr
Unusual Selection of Meats
Although Iโm not a big meat-eater myself, I appreciate the selection here for those who are, and I did enjoy the wild boar ribs that came with the tasty lobster hush puppies. My Idaho Rainbow trout was especially good.

I take issue with a restaurant of this caliber that won't accommodate dietary restrictions. The waiter was very blasรฉ when we explained that someone in are party had a medical condition. He was totally put out and still served the person food with
Poor service and overpriced
To begin with, restaurant is so dark you need to use your phone's flashlight to even read the menu! Server did not put in an appetizer order for me, then made it sound like a 'miscommunication', when we had specifically discussed it. Then when I fina
No tables available so 4 of us sat at bar.
Bartender was great. 1 hour to get appetizers. 2 hours to get our steaks. No bread ( bread guy called in sick) you can buy bread a any store! Lol

What a disappointment.
Went for a business lunch for 3. Server was rude and snippy. Only two tables in the place had a couple of people. Took over an hour to get appetizers. Portion was literally 3 small slices of sausage. More like a sample. Took another 45 min to get a s
Not that special
Went without reservations but got seats at the bar instantly. Very good margaritas, not sweet or messed about. Full menu available at the bar. We were looking forward to something different. Had the trio of fettine to start. It was billed as spit roa
Neat atmosphere, well stocked bar, interesting menu options
Great selections of wild game and good drink menu. We ate a variety of appetizers instead of entrees due to their interesting nature. We were not disappointed.
I recently had a great evening at the Lonesome Dove.
Our lovely waitress Alexis was so charismatic and perfectly walked us through the menu. Getting most of the items she suggested, the Elk foie gras sliders and the Tenderloin were my favorites of the night. The bartender Jon made us off menu cocktails

What to say about this place? I've had better service at Chipotle. We saw the waiter maybe 4 times all night and two of those was to get our credit card and return the check. I ordered the bison, which came with no side. When I questioned the waiter
It was good.
The service was kinda slow though. Had the beef tenderloin and it literally was cooked in such a way that it melted in your mouth. Best piece of steak I ate for a long time. They had game meats too. For appetizer had the black buck with some sort

Racist service for dining and valet
Disheartened by the racism experienced here. As the only dining party that wasn't Caucasian, we noticed that all other tables received complimentary bread except our own. While it could have been an oversight if I was seated in a corner of the restau
Connect with users posting reservations for Lonesome Dove Austin
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Lonesome Dove Austin. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Lonesome Dove Austin at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Lonesome Dove Austin page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Lonesome Dove Austin to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Lonesome Dove Austin!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
