Restaurants & Food across the Austin metro
Inclusive and diverse-owned restaurants & food businesses across the Austin metro, not just the city itself. Listed in Austin, Pflugerville and Cedar Park.
Austin eats in clusters, and most of them are walkable once you are in one. East Austin runs along East 6th, East 11th and Manor Road, South Congress and South First hold the south side, and Rainey Street and downtown fill up in the evenings. Barbecue is worth leaving town for: Lockhart, Taylor and Driftwood are all inside the metro and all worth the drive. A good number of the kitchens here work from a trailer, a shared kitchen or a catering-only setup rather than a dining room, so check how to order before you travel.

How many restaurants are listed across the Austin metro?
16 right now, in Austin, Pflugerville and Cedar Park. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.
What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
Do restaurants in Austin take reservations?
Many do, and plenty are walk-in only. Some kitchens here are takeout, catering or food-truck operations with no dining room, so check how each one takes orders before you go.
How can I ask about allergies or dietary needs?
Call ahead rather than asking at the table, and ask how the kitchen handles cross-contact, not just whether a dish contains an ingredient. Small kitchens are often very accommodating when they know in advance.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
How do I suggest a restaurant that is missing?
Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.
Know a restaurant we're missing?
Tell us who they are and we'll do the research. Nothing goes live until we've checked it, and we never list someone's identity without a source.
