Draft Pick American Grill ~ "Foodie" Friday ~ 10/23/15

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

This week-end is earmarked for rain but that won't stop us from enjoying Formula 1, UT football and so many Halloween events (including Canyon Creek's Fall Festival on Saturday the 24th)! I know a fun spot to try if you want to stay dry and enjoy some great food and drink and even catch your favorite game! 

A week-end to kick back, be causal and  let someone else do the cooking! 

 

 

 

 

DRAFT PICK AMERICAN GRILL    http://www.draftpickaustin.com/

Draft Pick is, as you might have already guessed, a sports bar. It’s also one of Austin’s hottest spots for good food and drink. They feature over 30 award winning Texas beers on tap, lots of flat screen TVs and the biggest HD screen in TX for added fun while you’re eating.

 

It’s comfortable and casual with a menu that is packed with comfort foods.  Draft Pick defines comfort food as “something that makes you remember.  The smell & the taste takes you back to a loved memory – one you won’t forget.”   They serve everything from chicken fried steak to their “burnt orange” chicken wings, pizza and hamburgers made with fresh Texas meat.  Here is a sampling of their menu:

 For starters – Stuffed Jalapenos that are filled with luscious cream cheese in a crispy potato batter served with sweet jalapeno jelly….or try the Cheese Bread - garlic butter spread with smoked provolone on homemade crust.  

 

For an entrée there’s the Ribeye Steak – 10 oz. cooked just the way you like it served with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.  Or, if you’re in the mood for fish there is the Tilapia Platter – a large, grilled tilapia fillet on a bed of fresh sautéed spinach, mushrooms and onions, served with Jamaican black beans and Mexican rice.  

 

For dessert, there’s ice cream (Blue Bell vanilla, of course!), chocolate mousse cake, NY cheesecake and Root Beer Floats.

 

Draft Pick American Grill is on the ground floor of the AMLI South Shore on East Riverside Dr. and South Lakeshore Blvd. in Central Austin with free covered parking.

Good Morning Dorie,

The rain started here in DFW yesterday afternoon and it's been raining ever since. But it's still going to be a great day in TX no matter where you live! I think that's one of the best reasons to live in TX - there's always something to do and it never gets boring!

Dorie food at the sports bars around here tend to be good as well.  The problem with ours is they are so noisy.  Hope Draft Pick American Grill is quieter and a more relaxing.

Dorie,

What a nice place to stay dry, I am so glad we opted out for next week for our meeting in Austin.  Sorry to hear events are being canceled, El Niño has come your way, we are hoping for some of that next week.  I know many homeowners are already filling sandbags.  A
