Salisbury Steak at Jacoby’s Restaurant and Mercantile
The new Southern-comfort restaurant rescues Salisbury steak from its sad, school-cafeteria past and fancies it up with veal gravy and buttermilk mashed potatoes. The East Austin spot has already become a classic for its highly designed aesthetic and gorgeous patio, with a store full of adorable vintage home goods next door.
Fried chicken, chili, grilled cheese and banana splits: it may not be the holidays yet, but it’s
certainly time to indulge.

Jacoby’s Restaurant and Mercantile is a mix of vintage and modern with a unique and one of a kind feel. Creative Director and Interior Designer Kris Swift stopped by the studio to show Amanda some
fun ideas including using old containers as planters for succulents, incorporating tribal colors and textures into your interiors, color blocking on your bookshelves and adding a grand element to your
gatherings with vintage champagne buckets. See more about everything from the restaurant’s
menu to what’s in store at the mercantile by heading to www.jacobysaustin.com.

I know a lot of Austinites are sick of hot weather by this point in the year, and I appreciate fall as much as the next person, but let’s be real. Being cold sucks, and after a few days of chilly weather we’ll all miss the sunshine and warm nights. You KNOW I’m going to start complaining about how “freezing” I am as soon as it dips under 70 on a regular basis.
Now that the worst of the heat and humidity is (probably) behind us and the colder weather has yet to settle in, take advantage of the last of our balmy evenings and party it up on some of Austin’s best patios! Here’s a list of some of my favorites – some new, some tried-and-true, but all ideal places to grab a drink in an open air environment. What more could you want?
Jacoby's
It’s like a Pinterest board come to life! Jacoby’s boasts mason jars, lanterns, picnic tables, gorgeous views, etc. You’d never guess this little gem was off Cesar Chavez unless you knew to look for it. The fact that they have awesome steaks and good old fashioned Southern cocktails doesn’t hurt a bit, either.
What to order: STEAK! Their giant onion rings with buttermilk ranch (yes, in a mason jar). The firefly cocktail, basically an elevated whiskey sour.
