Official Announcement Rule Update: Business Accusations Require Verifiable Sources

87 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’ve recently seen an increase in posts calling out or accusing specific businesses (restaurants, food companies, employers, etc.) of unethical or harmful practices. While we understand that many of these concerns come from genuine experiences, our moderation team cannot verify the accuracy of these claims.

To maintain fairness and comply with Reddit’s site-wide rules against misinformation and harassment, we’re introducing a new rule:

Rule 9 — Unsupported Accusations About Businesses Posts or comments that make negative claims about specific businesses, employers, or organizations must include verifiable evidence (for example: a reputable news source, official statement, or public record).

Posts making unverified claims or “call-outs” will be removed.

This rule is not meant to silence discussion about the food industry or personal experiences — you’re still welcome to share stories, opinions, or reviews. We just ask that any serious allegations be supported by credible information.

This helps keep the subreddit focused on food and ensures discussions stay fair, factual, and in line with Reddit’s content policies.

Thanks for understanding and helping us keep this community respectful and trustworthy!

Sukjai Thai Food - favorite Thai food in Austin

Post image
57 Upvotes

I don’t see any posts about Sukjai Thai Food off Barton Springs and had to show some love. I don’t really have many photos from here because I am always too excited to eat it.

Pictured is the green curry and pad see ew. The pad woon sen, pad kra poa, pad Thai along with the two pictured above are some of my favorite dishes in all of Austin. Very much worth the visit as the portions are huge and flavors authentic, I sometimes go multiple times a week. Every meal is made by the owner, who is the sweetest Thai lady. I guarantee you will not have a bad meal here, I have been going for over a year since it was on South 1st. Plenty of spice

HEB Flour Tortillas

78 Upvotes

Just a heads up about our favorite grocery flour tortillas! We know they are sometimes raw or wet on the edges (always just heat in a pan no problem obvi), but today I opened up a new package I got yesterday and the wet edges were starting to mold. As soon as I opened the back I could smell the fungus.

I feel like mine have been more raw lately so just a heads up to check for growth before slapping on the pan to heat.

Food Review Comedor continuously scores low and/or fails health inspections. "Fine dining" without a permit to operate? What else isn't being done right? yum! Inspection proof in AHD link

Thumbnail inspections.myhealthdepartment.com

After several failing scores and almost always scoring in the 70's (gross!) throughout their 6 years of operation, how and why would anyone want to pay a premium to eat at such a dirty, poorly run (expired operating permit 4/2026!) , and just plain mediocre restaurant? The constant GM and staff turnovers should speak volumes to operations from the top down. Flies in the prep, tuna held out of acceptable temp., etc....but so lax & sloppy they had an expired operating permit? Unsettling reality of the behind the scenes, basic business operations and not an establishment I could recommend or ever frequent again. Chinese buffets and T Cloud sandwich shops run tighter ships than this mess.

I don’t work in or adjacent to CPG. I just want this flavor to continue being available because it’s delicious. And I know Whole Foods barely qualifies as “Austin” these days, but one could make the argument…

Ingredient Search Olamaie's biscuits - any ideas?

35 Upvotes

Sooooooooo I was in love with Little Ola's and Olamaie's biscuits. I have tried several recipes - the Bon Appetit and New York Times biscuit recipes come close - but I was wondering if anyone, anyone at all, can recommend a recipe or technique that can get super duper close to theirs? I did a quick search of the sub but no love, maybe I missed something. Thanks so much in advance!

Sushi to go

I know I know… sushi is to be enjoyed fresh in the restaurant (or grocery store) but I would like some recommendations for carry out. A friend has to work and never get out at a reasonable time before the restaurants close so I want to get them some for their birthday.

They live near north Lamar/Braker and i work around Round Rock so I’m willing to drive wherever. TYIA

Looking for Food Truck Reccs!!

0 Upvotes

Looking for some local recommendations!

Who are your favorite food trucks in the Austin area that consistently put out great food and can handle large crowds?

I work with a BUSY seasonal event that takes place this fall, and we're exploring a potential partnership with one food truck for the season. Before reaching out, I'd love to hear who people think is doing it right. (I do not live in TX!)

If you have a favorite, I'd appreciate any recommendations. Side note, If you own a truck or think your concept might be a good fit, feel free to send me a DM as well.

Any Polish food / restaurant recommendations?

My Polish father will be visiting me soon (contingent on his visa approval, of course), and I would like to take him out to eat a Polish bite or meal. Are there any local Polish places here? Most of what I've searched so far seems to be closed. Bonus points if they have plant based / vegetarian options. Thank you!

Hi ya’ll!

Like the title says I’m looking for a restaurant that matches those criteria. My fiancé’s wedding ring came in and I’m hoping to give it to her over a nice dinner. We don’t need to dress fancy or to pay for $50 a meal. Just a nice dinner date that sets the mood…er romantically lol.

Thanks 🙏

Anybody know if garage pizza ever got a permit to legally prepare and sell food ?

Thumbnail inspections.myhealthdepartment.com
0 Upvotes

Last health inspection cited they didn't actually have a food permit! 82 is pretty low health score and not a place to get excited about eating at, especially at $8 a tiny slice prices! Per the attached health dept. Inspection, Dirty kitchens are gross! Operating without being licensed or permitted ....gee what else could we be overlooking?

"Additional Comments

Observed establishment that was only approved for bar-beverage service serving food out of an unpermitted room in the building. Establishment needs to apply for pre-opening inspection and submit plan reviews within 10 business days to avoid legal action."

"gourmet" or no way? lol

Pinthouse Jerk Chicken Pizza

So recently Pinthouse killed my favorite pizza of the last few years, the Shrooming Goat. There new Mushroon man is just not the same, so I tried something new. The Jerk Chicken pizza, omg the habanero and the other flavors come together in a very hot and complex flavored pizza. I thought it was phenomenal……

Just wanted to recommend it for a “wild” and hot pizza.

Hey all,

Been trying a number of North Austin Chinese places that have been great. But they all have either no alcohol or a poor selection. Is there any good spicy places that have a good drink line up?

L’Oca D’Oro - Southeast Asian Summer Menu

We’ve loved their pastas and Italian cooking for years now, but stopped in tonight for their Southeast Asian Summer menu and really enjoyed it. Lots of takes on familiar dishes - some pretty spicy. We had the meatballs, green beans and the Larb Tagliatelle and Blue Crab Noodles(pictured)

Everything was excellent and I highly recommend going before 6pm, as the noodle dishes were 25% off.
