   Uptown Sports Club is a great spot to grab a drink and some Louisiana-style food for brunch or dinner while downtown. The interior is super aesthetic, the service is great, and the food is reasonably priced for a downtown restaurant in Austin. SERVICE - I arrived at 12:15 pm for a 12:30 pm reservation for two on a Saturday and was seated right away. The workers were all super pleasant! Julie was a great server and made sure we had everything we needed from start to finish. PRICING - The total was $57.38 after tax ($4.38) but before tip for a chicory & chocolate freeze ($10), cup of gumbo ($7), downtown burger ($14), fried chicken biscuit sandwich ($14), and cinnamon roll ($8). For a downtown Austin restaurant, I feel like the pricing was reasonable. HICORY & CHOCOLATE FREEZE (7/10) - Overall, this was a delicious milkshake! It had a malty chocolate flavor but the chicory didn’t really come through. GUMBO (7/10) - This was a great gumbo and the cup was a great size as a quick appetizer to split. The chicken was super tender and the broth had great flavor but the sausage got kind of lost (which is surprising considering they serve Franklin sausage links). FRIED CHICKEN BISCUIT SANDWICH (9/10) - WOW! The biscuit is buttery and flaky, the fried chicken is SO juicy and tender, and both the aioli and hot honey bring so much contrast in flavor to the overall sandwich. The bacon gets kind of lost. DOWNTOWN BURGER (5/10) - This was super disappointing… it was incredibly basic and the beef patty had almost zero flavor. The bun was okay and the bacon added some flavor along with the other toppings (cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, mayo, and mustard) but absolutely nothing stood out. I wouldn’t order this again. CINNAMON ROLL (8/10) - It’s served in a bowl and is unbelievably soft and gooey… just how I love my cinnamon rolls! It’s served with flaky salt on top which was INCREDIBLE!

   Having lived in Louisiana for many years, I do feel qualified to comment on the cuisine at Sports Club. The menu offers a wide range of options, the wine list less so. The gumbo has a very authentic flavor, but the portion I received contained no chicken or sausage. The Po'Boys are constructed from very good French bread, but the portion size qualifies for the term sandwich, not Po'Boy.Great decor and lovely patio.

   Ambience is always top notch. Food was good but the burger and fries definitely contained too much salt. Drinks were so-so.

   Authentic... :-) Gumbo was fantastic, and the fired shrimp po'boy is just like you get in NOLA.

   Uptown Sports Club is always amazing! The food is delicious across the board and the Mardi Gras themed touches were perfect to this former New Orleanian!
