It's been awhile (years) since I had them, but Round Rock Donuts at Lone Star Bakery off of 620.
Best local donuts around. Fresh is obviously the best!
Hopefully they didn't lose the magic that they sprinkled into every inch.

Buy me a 1lb doughnut pls thx
Seriously though, I've only had it once and it was amazing!

Need to commit to waking up early and getting them fresh, the next time I visit my parents.
The 1lb donut is legit.
Am I an evil person since I didn't want to share it with anybody?
Damn. That queso and that brushfire is sooo good my man. Sooo goood.
I'll have to check out those other two

You are missing the two best pizza places in the OP. Salvation Pizza is my all time favorite and Austin Beer Garden is rad too. I am sure other people here can back me up.
I have stuff going on Saturday but am planning to ditch work in the afternoon sometime tomorrow to grab a beer and catch mad max if anyone else is interested.

Also Taco Deli was amazing 5 years ago before they made the portions smaller and upped the price. It is a damn shame what that place has become.

No, no... You did the right thing.
I wish I could, but I've never heard of those places before.
Where you thinking you'll see it?

Hoboken Pie for life!
That's, OK. Mad Max is awesome.
EDIT:
I miiiiiiiiiiight be down to grab drinks tonight. I already have tickets for Sunday (2nd time), but god dammit it's such a good movie I might want to go again lol. Where are you thinking?
I like the Regal on Stonelake for some reason, but no real preference. Whenever I can sneak out of work, which looks less likely as I keep getting added to meetings. Hopefully around 3pm. I'm not really fond of Drafthouse. I can't stand people eating during a movie. But I could be talked into it if I'm drinking.
Still waiting to see if I can get out. And it's such a lovely day!

In another thread, did you mention you've only been to the Drafthouse once?
People eating food can sometimes be an annoyance, but it's pretty rare, from my experience. You should give it another chance!
Honestly, I can't imagine going to any other theatre, except for the arthouse ones. Reserved seating is more than enough reason for me to pick the Drafthouse--the rules are a bonus.
Can't speak for Salvation, but I'll vouch for ABG.
I've had it only after drinking quite a bit, so I can say it's great with a buzz.

I'm going to try to come and drag the wife along with me. Been here 5 years now and haven't actually been to pinballz yet even though I knew of it!
Hogarden and Salvation are both superior to home slice?
Also, has anyone found better fried chicken then Lucy's or 24 yet? Those are the best I've had so far

Yeah, for Man of Steel. It was the one downtown too (during the ROT Rally), maybe that had something to do with it. I'll give it another shot. It was just really distracting to try and watch the film while people to left and right were chomping away and attendants kept walking past to take orders. I'll have to assume it's not always like that, so many people love it.

Yeah, Hoboken was my go-to when I used to spend a lot of time at Side Bar. That and the Hot Dog King trailer! Bulldog is my fav.
I still order Hoboken delivery once or twice a month. Their Greek salad is actually super delicious.
Hey, thanks! Yeah, I've been meaning to try Noble Pig. I'll update the OP soon with all these new recommendations, I promise!
Sounds good.
My wife and I grab a slice every time we go to a show at Stubb's. Good stuff.
Via 313 is my new favorite though.. need to get to the brick and mortar place now that one exists, but I can't imagine it could get any better than the trailer at Craft Pride.

If you guys are into Noble Pig check out Republic of Sandwich. It's on Hancock right down the road from Noble (maybe 3 minutes?) and it's amazing. They cure their own meats (even their own bacon!) and you get a huge sandwich. Homemade sides and everything. It's amazing.

Everybody coming in with their wife.

Haha y'know my wife would probably down for that but my wallet sure as hell wouldn't. I need to start doing your technique of trying somewhere new twice a week. Right now we maybe try a new place once or twice a month.
If I do, I'll bring a clipboard and start taking notes.
Batty pls. It's only like one or two people.

Enough to make me cry. Lol
Best friend material right here.
Hey, I love being in relationships. I just still think of my last breakup of 3 years, 6 months. ヽ(｀Д´)ﾉ
I'm good. Anyway, excited for tomorrow! By the way, if I'm quiet. That's because I'm a pretty shy person, plus I got that social anxiety of mine. I'll do my best!

Hey, I've been in Texas before
(once, for a flight transfer at Dallas/Fort Worth, going over to California, like 20 years ago >.>)
It's kind of like how I've tried "Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza"
at a Pizzeria Uno's in O'Hare

No worries, same here! I'm good once I get going but I suck at meeting people
Oh, I'm definitely not that way, haha. It just all comes at a random. So, we'll see.
You should change that. :3

Got a spare house laying around waiting for some inhabitants? :þ
(Unfortunately, my wife's kind of set on staying in Connecticut, so I don't have too much say in the matter >.>)
(Plus, on my side of things, once it gets over like 65F I'm too hot, so I'm not sure me and Texas would be the best match :þ )

Proof of purchase.
Between regular and chocolate, get the regular.
I'm so fucking pumped for tomorrow because of these. I just finished up my first year at UT and I'll be grabbing a dozen + a milk for the roadtrip home. Best donuts I've ever had!!
Also, I like the Salvation Pizza mentions here. I'm eating here with my family right now for the first time.

I need to try these when I visit Austin again.
I might be down, when ya going?
Probably around 6:30?
Cool, I may come over at 7 if I can get my work done, not for sure though.

I'm already at Pinballz Arcade. It's super packed. I'll be the tall and handsome guy wearing a gray shirt that says "Honda" in blue.
