We showed up at 1pm on a Saturday thinking we may need a reservation but they seated us right away. Had the wild boar sandwich and the antelope sausage burger with beef talow fries. Was delicious! The service was also good and we were able to take biscuits to go. The only thing was the sandwich had a bit too much of mayo. I'd order it on the side next time. Would definitely come again!

I visited Dai Due again after a few years, and it’s just as lovely as I remember. The vibe is cozy and cute, especially the patio—it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger. The food is delicious without being overly heavy or over-seasoned—it really brings out the natural flavors in a thoughtful way. Service was great too. It’s a farm-to-table restaurant, and they also have a butcher shop, bakery, and other goodies. Highly recommend!

Great food. I had the seasonal dish: Grilled Wild Boar Filipino Longanisa Sausage with garlic rice, grilled eggplant salad, chives and an egg. It was excellent. They no longer sell sliced sausage or charcuterie out the front butcher cabinet, but there is still some frozen fresh ground sausages, bone broth, and their cookie dough in the freezer up front to purchase along with Jesse Griffiths books, some coffee beans, Dai Due apparel, etc.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful time. We truly appreciated the team's excellent service. Food: The restaurant follows a farm-to-table concept, making everything fresh and high-quality. We ordered several items, but my favorite dish was the Lion’s Maine mushroom appetizer. - Green Salad: This was a light start to the meal. It had a stronger salt and citrus flavor, but I enjoyed it. - Lion’s Maine: This dish had a more pronounced acidity, but it balanced nicely with the green onions and grilled sourdough bread. - Dry-aged Longhorn Cheeseburger: It was good, but nothing exceptional. - Beef Fat Fries: These house-cut fries came with beet ketchup and chili mayo - Colossal Pork Chop: This was seared well and lightly seasoned, allowing the quality to shine through. While it was nice, it was on the fattier side. Service: Our server, Ana, was attentive and friendly, and we loved her energy. Ambiance: The decor was barn-house themed, creating a casual and welcoming yet semi-formal atmosphere. Overall, I loved the restaurant's concept, and the team was great. While I wasn’t blown away by the food, it was more on the comforting side. I’m looking forward to returning next time to try other items on the menu.

Stopped by for their brunch, which is available 3 days a week. Biscuit with butter and jam, carnitas flautas and the longhorn cheeseburger were our choices for the afternoon. The biscuit with jam was tasty, with no complaints. The flautas were surprisingly girthy with plenty of meat inside. Something you don't see to often with this particular Tex-Mex dish. I'm never been a huge fan of flautas generally, so this did not blow my socks off, but overall a reccomend if interested. Lastly, we split the longhorn cheeseburger. Very juicy and messy, but tasty. The burger was not trying to do too much, but had it's own personality and was made with care. With all Due respect, why aren't you on your way to Dai Due? 4.5/5

Overall a good meal with fresh, local ingredients and an extreme focus on from scratch Texas themed menu items. The apps are good but nothing stood out as being stellar. The burger was very very good but at $26 with no sides it’s hard to justify…. no matter the ingredients. It’s not like it had caviar or something. The boar confit was a bit disappointing and needed more to the dish to balance out the very specific and strong flavor of the boar itself. Service was excellent and the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a great playlist to top it off! It’s hard to separate yourself from the pack in Austin these days with so many stellar options (for better prices) across town. That being said, I’ll probably be going back to try their breakfast and the pastrami sandwich, as both were recommended.

We had the Sour Dough Pancake, the Breakfast Sandwich, the Dai Due Breakfast and the Venison Lettuce Wraps. All were excellent. The bartender was our server, and she was extremely attentive. The crowd and atmosphere were welcoming and intriguing.

I have been hearing about this restaurant through various sources like the Meateater podcast, Jesse’s books, etc. I finally got a chance to eat here and it did not disappoint. My girlfriend was skeptical as she is not a game meat eater but the burger she had was “the best burger of her life”. My dinner was equally good and both starters we got were incredible. Next time I’m in town I plan on making another visit.
