Mon-Fri, 11am-10pm; Sat-Sun, 9am-10pm

A longtime luminary in the Austin restaurant scene, Hoover Alexander has finally hung his own sign out front of this unassuming storefront located on the Manor Road restaurant row. The menu offers a variety of mother-inspired meats, such as barbecued pork ribs, braised pork roast, and smoked chicken wings. His perfectly seasoned, certified Angus chicken fried steak ranks among the best in Austin. Stellar sides include creamed spinach, macaroni ‘n’ cheese, pinto beans, and buttered carrots. Check your diet at the door.
