Cedar Door Patio Bar & Grill

We were visiting Austin, Texas, for the first time and staying at a hotel nearby, so we decided to stop in to this bar and restaurant for a late lunch.
Our server, Tori, was super sweet and very attentive.
The food was also quite good.
My husband had the brisket tacos which he loved.
I just had a plain burger and fries, but they were very good as well.
Really good spot right downtown not far from the convention center and many of the hotels if you want to stop in for a fun bar with good food!

I'm going to say my server was a bit overwhelmed.
Was seated promptly and drink order taken but after that things slowed down.
I asked for a straw and I got it after my meal arrived.
It took a while for my server to come back and ask for my food order after bringing my beverage.
Something was wrong with his hand held, so took a moment to take the order.
I had to get the host to get me that straw.
Once my food arrived there was a mix up on my dressing.
Ranch vs blue cheese.
I believe he brought me another straw at time we noticed the error with the salad.
But again I'm going to say he was a little overwhelmed as a convention was going on this weekend.
The server did however find a way to compensate for the error.
I appreciated that gesture. Google said the place was less than busy however it was packed when I arrived and I got there within 2 minutes of my search.
Made me wonder what did busy look like. My wings were smoked to perfection.
I got the dry rub.
Didn't like the rub.
But that's a matter of taste.
First time trying that so I can't blame the establishment benday my tastebuds didn't agree.
My chicken had a nice smokey flavor under the rub.
The salad was plentiful, leaves were fresh.
I switched the wings to the saucer and that salad filled that rectangular plate and was piled high.
I was very pleased with the amount.
Also, every plate of food that went by me to other guest looked well prepared and appetizing.
Looked liked the other guest really enjoyed their food and drinks. The establishment has a nice homey feel.
Indoor and outdoor seating.
I didn't feel rushed to eat, the staff were very polite from the host, bartender, and yes my server as well.
I would definitely go again if I was in town and maybe try something else on the menu.

Great spot.
This place was perfect for a late evening meal and drinks.
The Tajin fries are spectacular.
The white wings and the dry rub wings were perfectly seasoned and so good, especially with the blue cheese.
I also got to try the fish tacos.
The tacos were also good and had a nice kick.
Staff is friendly, dress is casual and prices are fair.
