Austin Native here, and vegetarian and just wanted to add some of my favorite places:
Mission Burger (all vegan burger joint that popped up this year)
Nissi Vegan Mexican Cuisine (all vegan tex mex place that popped up this year)
The next few aren't full vegan/vegetarian, but do have delicious options whether or not you eat meat.
Ditty Dog (Hotdog Truck open Thursday-Sunday at night, Hotdogs are great, Bugolgi Fries are great. Their veggie dog is the best hotdog I've ever had as someone who's eaten meat for the first half of my life, I'm sure their regular dogs are even better)
Matt's El Rancho (Usually very busy but is the best tex mex I've had in austin)
Aster's Ethiopian Restaurant (If you've never experienced ethiopian food, you're in for a treat. I always take friends who are visiting for the first time here)
Saffron (Really good Indian food)

Two Austin eateries you didn't mention that are long-time greats; Fonda San Miguel and Conans Pizza. Both opened in the 1970's and have been going strong since. Fonda San Miguel opened in 1975 and serves traditional recipes of interior and coastal regions of Mexico. Conans opened in 1976 and is best know for its Deep Dish Wheat Dough and best-selling everything pizza, The Savage. Both are must stops to experience the best of Austin eateries, IMHO.

Hey yall. Thank you for the info on all those places. Im a Fort Worth resident and Im going to try Franklins for the first time next weekend. Next time you are in Austin, may I suggest Gueros Taco Bar. Great food, a really cool outdoor music area and a Tarantino movie was filmed there. its on South Congress across from Home Slice and next to Jos. Keep up the awesome content. You inspire me to get out there and see the world.

As a Austinite this is a solid list minus The Oasis and Torchys. People only go to The Oasis for the view of Lake Travis and maybe a Margarita; not the food. There are way better Tex Mex restaurants to go to like my favorites Curras and Enchiladas Y Mas. Torchys food quality has really gone down and the price is not worth it since they decide to expand to multiple locations in many states.

I have eaten at half your list and can wholeheartedly agree with your selections. I have returned to them time and again whenever I visit. Valentinas has temporarily closed their Manchaca location as they opened up a brand new and much larger place in nearby Buda. Via 313 has great Detroit style pizza on 6th street. Great list Josh!

I cant trust your pallet because Franklins has the worst BBQ I have ever had in my human life. I drove his mother as a Lyft driver when she came here one time and she said she doesnt even eat his food and then laughed. for you to not mention blacks on your list shows me clearly you dont know what youre talking about

As an Austin native you did a great job for a snapshot which tourist's would appreciate. There are so many places, things and experiences to have here. But nice overview.

Via 313 has some of the best pizza, and the Boston Cooler dessert drink is so good. We always stop at the one in Oak Hill when we visit family.

The oasis food is incredibly expensive but basically tastes like bar food. Go for the view. Don't waste your money on the food.

Note on donuts: also find a place that makes kolaches. Basically sweet bread with fruit jam or sausage inside.
