Threadgills

Threadgills is quintessential Austin. If you want good down-home cooking, this is the place to go. There are 2 locations in Austin. The one in this picture is located on North Lamar and there is the "World Headquarters" located on Riverside Drive. The food is great, the portions are huge, and even if no one is playing that night, the jukebox is one of the best around. Threadgills has been credited with starting the Austin music scene. Janice Joplin even waitressed here during the 60's and started her singing career at this location.
