Hidden gem of Austin. Right from the beginning you are made to feel comfortable. Come with an appetite, the meal and appetizers were amazing. I would recommend the nachos, one of each and you will not regret it. The staff was very welcoming and helpful in making all of the choices known.

Cool local favorite for $1.88 hamburgers on Tuesday nights! Bring the kids, all are welcome. Fun atmosphere and burgers were served quickly and tasted good. My onion rings were crisp and delicious.

We called the Windrift last minute and asked if they could handle a group of about 12 people. The young gentleman who answered the phone checked with the staff and said yes come on in. We showed up 15 minutes later with 16 people. The staff was busy but they gave us GREAT service. The waitress was very efficient and friendly. Same with the bartender, he was fast and friendly. Everyone was so helpful. They even put on a local basketball game at our request. On top of the great service, the food was impressive too. Our group had everything from salads, soup to burgers to steak & shrimp. Not one complaint from our entire group. They must have an experienced kitchen staff to put great meals out as quickly as they did. I don't write very many reviews, but from our experience last night, the Windrift Lounges gets 5 STARS. Thank you for the great experience!

We have eaten here several times when traveling for work. Atmosphere is a very friendly, cozy local vibe. The long island ice tea is too acidic & needs attention. The food is always tasty & hot. Jalepeno BBQ sauce on the wings was excellent.
