ABIA: Austin Java Airport Coffee House
Regularly voted into our "Best of Austin" and annual restaurant polls, Java fills it to the brim with fortifying salads, sandwiches, breakfast goodies, coffee drinks, and TDF desserts. They host two airport locations, this one being the larger and more central of the two, located directly behind the Highland Lakes Bar. Both feature their signature Hippie Chef Salad and yummy, steamy drinks like the Junior Mint and the Carmel Knowledge.
3600 Presidential, Concourse, Central, near Gate 10, 530-ABIA (2242)

ABIA: Harlon's Bar-B-Que and Country Breakfast
Yes sirree, this is the same Harlon's as the one on MLK in Houston, as well as in the bayou city's George R. Brown Convention Center, Galleria Mall, and the University of Houston Central Campus. This location serves a full and satisfying breakfast (praise the Lord, and pass the grits!), sandwiches, barbecue by the pound, and yes, even sweet-potato pie.

ABIA: Maudie's Tex-Mex
Another limb on the family tree of one of Austin's favorite heavenly Tex-Mex hole in the walls. This is the real deal, a-meeeeeeee-go.

ABIA: The Salt Lick
Whoa! Déjà vu! This place even looks like the original Salt Lick out in Dripping Springs, complete with its circular stone smoker and links hanging from the iron hood. This Salt Lick begs you to take them with you, with fully prepped, cooked, and packed briskets to-go for $49.95 (or $54.95 with sauce), jars of rub, bottles of sauce and sauce gift packs, T-shirts, and caps. When you reach your final destination, why not open up a little Texas back home?

ABIA: The Salt Lick's Taco Bar
Enjoy tasty tortillas loaded with meats pulled from this Central Texas staple: Baja brisket, chopped beef with cabbage and poblano pepper, carne guisada, Ranchero pollo, and more. They also stock T-shirts and sauces to go.

ABIA: Wok & Roll
This fresh and delectable Asian cuisine is self-served, buffet style, and sold by the pound. We could've made an entire meal just out of their tangy Asian slaw and General Tso's chicken. (Of Austinite interest: These are the folks who used to run Formosa.)
3600 Presidential, Concourse, East, near Gate 8, 530-ABIA (2242)
Denny's
Hey, eat enough of their breakfast specials after clubbing on Sixth Street, and you'll be seeing Moons Over Your Hammy, we guarantee.

El Michoacano Mexican Restaurant
On westbound 71 across the street and to the east of ABIA, this locals' favorite serves lunch and breakfast plates, as well as generous $1 breakfast tacos loaded with your choice of two items, including ham, chorizo, and nopal, along with the regular faves (bacon, egg, cheese, bean, etc.).
2701 Hwy. 71 E., Del Valle, 389-3244
El Pollo Regio
Deeeeeelicious marinated roast chicken, quartered, halfed, or whole, with beans, rice, salsa, and a heavenly hunk of roasted onion, is served from this little cart. Outposts of this popular Texas-based chicken chain are located all across town and the state. Legendary, really.
Highway 183 at Highway 812, behind Pilot Knob Beverages

Marfe Gardens
Enjoy Mexican breakfast, lunch, or dinner with margaritas on the back deck or in the cozy dining hall of this local restaurant.
2408 Hwy 183 S., 386-6700
Taqueria Morelos
Homemade Mexican faves and daily specials make this place a special lunchtime hangout with locals and area work crews. The tangy, almost-brothy salsa with freshly fried chips is a nice (and free!) touch.
3100 Hwy. 183 S., 386-7863
