Best Cajun Lunch

Shoal Creek Saloon

Louisiana home cooking, so close to downtown Austin! Swing on down to the Shoal Creek Saloon, and you'll understand. The best deals come on Wednesdays and Fridays, 11am-2pm with the lunch special: all you can eat buffet (catfish, hush puppies, coleslaw, pinto beans, the works) for $9 or six whopping pieces of catfish for $7. Just like they advertise, there's a color TV over the bar, shuffle board and pool tables, and the outdoor back deck.
