Bob’s Steak & Chop House - Austin at Barton Creek
$$$$•Steakhouse•4.7(892)At Bob’s you are treated like family. When you arrive at your table, the famous pickles come standard and a fresh, hot loaf of bread is delivered almost immediately for you to enjoy while you order your drinks and your meal.
Known for our filets, Bob’s only serves prime cuts of beef. They have more marbling and flavor than the choice filets most other steak houses serve. Bob’s dinners have always included their iconic, larger than life, glazed carrot and your choice of potato. It’s a tradition and a great value they are proud to offer our guests. One carrot with one prime steak at a time totaling, about three tons of carrots each week. It may seem silly for a world-class steak house to tout its glazed carrot, but once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand.
We consider sleeveless shirts on men, flip flops, boldly logoed athletic attire/gym attire, beach/pool wear too casual. We also ask that ball caps be removed while in the restaurant. Business casual ok.
Reservations are recommended.Lupe Tortilla - West Lake Hills
$$$$•Mexican•4.7(9)Lupe Tortilla - a restaurant with roots in Texas and a reputation for serving handcrafted, high-quality Texas-Mex cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere. Established in 1983 in a modest 1940s-frame house in Houston, it quickly became a local favorite. Lupe Tortilla has stayed true to its standards—only fresh ingredients, scratch-made recipes, and cozy but evolving atmosphere. Lupe Tortilla’s menu is made of Tex-Mex tradition, crafted with authenticity. The attention to detail doesn’t stop there: limes are hand-squeezed, the famous lime-pepper-marinated fajitas are renowned, and their signature margaritas are made to order with fresh squeezed juices and premium tequilas.
Sway Thai - Austin
$$$$•Thai•4.6(1,292)Located in West Lake Hills just minutes from downtown Austin, Sway brings modern Thai cuisine and vibrant hospitality to the Westlake dining scene. Known for its family-style dining experience, Sway blends traditional Thai flavors with fresh ingredients, creative cocktails, and a warm, contemporary atmosphere. Guests can enjoy signature dishes like curries, noodles, satays, and wok-fired specialties alongside panoramic hill country views and an inviting indoor-outdoor setting. Ideal for date nights, group dinners, happy hour, and weekend gatherings, Sway Westlake offers one of the best Thai restaurant experiences near Austin with bold flavors, stylish design, and approachable hospitality.Blind Salamander Kitchen & Bar
$$$$•American•4.5(471)Seafood-centric restaurant with sweeping panoramic views of the Fazio Foothills Golf Course and the Texas Hill Country. Featuring a daily selection of freshly shucked oysters, fresh fish, and local “garden-to-table” fare curated by the culinary masterminds at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa. Delectable non-seafood selections include tender steaks and braised and grilled dishes. Enjoy creative hand-crafted cocktails from a garden-inspired menu at the bar or outdoor patio.

Discover West Austin / Westlake
The awesome places to eat in the Westlake is one of the reasons Austin is considered a Texas jewel. Authentic American food abounds in Westlake. You can find Southern fried chicken, several steakhouses, and barbecue restaurants. Austin is also known for great authentic Mexican food and local creole specialty houses. Although the area is known for its casual atmosphere, fine dining restaurants are still available for those wanting an eloquent white tablecloth setting. Everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes the smaller locations like Westlake where the diversity of options is great and delicious food is a truly big business.
