6 Best Places to Break Your Resolution
It’s been a long month sticking to self-imposed restrictions. While we don’t recommend throwing all health goals out the window, it’s not sustainable to cut out every treat forever. Give yourself some grace and indulge in something special this February.
S-H Donuts
Grab an Original Chocolate donut or a bag of donut holes to enjoy on the morning commute. Sweet, fluffy, and rich in flavor, these are not run-of-the-mill donuts. Baked fresh daily, these handmade delights are inspired by the recipes of Cambodian donut-makers and are absolutely worth the potential sugar crash.

Flyrite Chicken
This better-for-you fast-food restaurant is well-suited for on-the-go folks who want to support local, eat delicious food, and stay on the move. The Cowboy sandwich with a side of tots is sure to please, with spicy breaded chicken, bacon, cheese, and jalapeños packing a massive flavor punch.

Gati Ice Cream
For those who prefer their ice cream dairy-free, Gati has many sweet treats in store. All of their unique flavors are coconut-milk-based, covering classic favorites like cake batter to one-of-a-kind offerings such as black sticky rice horchata. Pair a scoop with a pastry from their gluten-free bakery for a delectable dessert.

Bosses Office
This newly opened speakeasy is an elegant option to break Dry January (or not- they have plenty of non-alcoholic options, too!). Serving elaborately themed cocktails named for notable figures from Anthony Bourdain to Cesar Chavez in a sleek atmosphere, Bosses Office is a delightful choice for an intimate night out on the town.

Terry’s Seafood & Chicken
Terry’s Seafood & Chicken comes with an apt warning. One bite and you’ll get hooked! This longstanding Airport Boulevard staple serves the best fried catfish and chicken strips one can find in Austin. Choose hushpuppies and coleslaw to accompany the crispy comfort food, and it’s pretty much guaranteed this meal will only be the first of many.

Micklethwait Craft Meats
Nothing says comfort food to Texans like really good barbecue. Brisket is often the go-to, but at Micklethwait, none of their offerings are an afterthought. From beef ribs to pulled pork to barbacoa, all of their smoked meat offerings are a carnivore’s dream. Pair any with their jalapeño cheese grits or Mac and cheese, and you’re sure to be in hog heaven.
