Austin's And Grill - Fort Collins

Service and drinks were good. Food was mediocre. Nice vibe on the patio didn't go inside.

I don't understand all the great ratings. Went with my family, all adults. Service was barely there. I understand if a server is slammed but ours was barely around and when I had to go up to the bar to ask for an item, already requested, she was chatting with the guys at the bar. Absolutely clueless on what service is about. She also suggested the chicken pot pie as it was fantastic. Let's call it potato and carrot pie, hardly ANY chicken. My cheeseburger tasted like a burnt BBQ disaster. $100 for the meals, all a waste. Find another restaurant, lots of options.

This staple in Ft Collins still has a fun, lively atmosphere and comfortable outside dining with lots of opportunities for people watching. We do not live here but have been coming to this restaurant for years. Like others, this recent visit was very disappointing. Our server, Caroline, was wonderful but she wasn't responsible for the 3 stars. The food was mediocre at best. Fries were barely warm, carrots were charred and hard as rocks. Ribs were decent and salmon was also okay. Not certain why, but please fix whatever is going on in The kitchen!!!

This place has the best tasting food ever. It feels so nice to go on an early evening dinner with the love of my life on the padio. The server was so sweet and honestly deserves a raise. If you are ever downtown please check out this place it wont disappoint!

As for the food, it was disappointing yet still okay to eat. We both ordered the prime rib with mashed potatoes, and sadly, everything was served lukewarm. We had been looking forward to this meal, but I have to agree with others who have found it lacking in flavor. Honestly, it was very bland. The au jus helped provide some taste, but even that was just average. While the meat was tender, prime rib should be about more than just tenderness. The mashed potatoes were plain, lacking any noticeable seasoning, and certainly didn't have a hint of garlic. Everything could have used a sprinkle of salt. I’m not one to favor overly salty food; I simply appreciate food with real flavor. Additionally, the knives provided for cutting the prime rib were a bit of a laugh. I struggled to cut through the tender meat with what felt like a diner-style knife, which left my hand cramping. My suggestion would be to enhance the seasoning of the food and invest in some good steak knives; it would significantly improve the overall experience. In summary, it's not a bad place for a quick dinner, but I would recommend seeking better quality elsewhere.
