What AbbyO likes about Better Half:
Our server must have gone off shift but there was never a hand off of service and we were unaware of who our new server was. We also ordered an item but then was told 30 minutes later that you all were out. Usually service is great but unsure what happened this particular day. View all feedback. What Chelsea Brekke doesn't like about Better Half:
Not happy about this place. The food was marginal and so extremely over priced. $150 for sandwiches and drinks? Not to mention, outside on picnic tables where you have to grab your own water? I honestly just don’t get it. I understand the food industry is hurting and I want to help them. But we’re out here broke too! Just wasn’t what it was cracked up to be. View all feedback.

Outside seating was nicely spaced out and the food was very good even with the interesting combinations.

Always a great time. Delish food and drinks and lots of respect for COVID.

Better Half is an outdoor restaurant offering a laid-back experience in Austin. While some reviews mentioned long wait times and service hiccups, the food received mixed reviews, with some diners praising the cocktails and unique dishes like queso dip with pastrami, while others were dissatisfied with the breakfast burrito. The atmosphere is described as charming and welcoming, with some diners enjoying the outdoor picnic tables. Despite some issues with service and food, Better Half seems to have a loyal following that appreciates the friendly staff and overall dining experience, making it a spot worth returning to in the future.

I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken burger at this restaurant. The cauliflower tater tots with beet ketchup and queso were especially outstanding.

It was pouring cats and dogs and the staff remained friendly and tried to be as accommodating as possible within the circumstances.
