Best Biscuits in the world in my opinion is Lil Ola’s Biscuits. These are made by the pastry chef from Olaime’s. They opened a brick and mortar called Lil Ola’s Biscuits near Wells Branch Parkway. I do not travel far from the Eastside but I will make the trek North for these biscuits. Don’t forget the honey butter, it is crucial.

Locals love this place. The patio is iconically 'Austin'. Menu is small but everything is superb. Burgers are a must. Sesame Salad is luscious. No matter what we order, we add Yucca Fries. I could eat them every day! Voted best Pina Colada by everyone we know!

They call them quesadillas, but they are more like homemade empanadas with homemade blue corn tortillas. I always order bean and cheese. The large margaritas will knock your socks off. A newer venue that has become a fast favorite!
