It's chill, relaxed vibe is perfect for those looking for a casual, delicious meal, without all the high-class frills of many of the restaurants along sixth.

They also have a surprisingly vast array of chicken sandwiches, with almost as many options as the burger, so you chicken fans out there need not fret. Sandwiches not your bag? No big deal, you can try one of their delicious tacos, made with any kind of meat you could imagine, from grilled chicken, to sirloin steak, to pulled pork, even catfish, which is served with tartar sauce, shredded cabbage, and carrots. If you're in the mood for something lighter, there's plenty of salads, soups and baked potatoes to keep even the strictest vegans appeased.

One of the things that made Waterloo a household name, however, was the music, and over the years many big names have graced this restaurants humble stage. No matter what location you choose, you're sure to find some great live music playing, mostly local bands, homegrown right here in Austin.

If you're looking for a way to sample some of the best casual dining in Austin, while also enjoying some great live music, you can't get much better than the Waterloo Icehouse.
