Austin’s American Grill is the quintessential taste of Colorado. Savory roasts and chicken cooked over an open flame in our front-of-the-house rotisserie. All-natural buffalo seasoned to perfection. Cornbread baked in iron skillets and drizzled with honey and butter. Signature cocktails sweetened with fresh-squeezed fruit juice. Plus, our decadent desserts are made fresh daily, giving you an excuse to stop in for a slice that reminds you of home. So grab a friend and make plans to meet at the red umbrellas. There’s a reason Austin’s is one of Northern Colorado’s favorite destinations.

    This is one of the restaurants opened by a couple of guys years ago-good food, pleasant atmosphere and well-trained staff. Fort Collins is blessed to have not one, but two, Austin’s American Grill’s, The Moot House, Al’s and on and on. Treat yourself.

    I love Austin's BUT if your only dining experience was during recent Great Plates of Downtown, my daughter's rotisserie tri-tip was way too raw, the spiced walleye way to bland, and service was dismal.

    Service was good, but food was cold. Mashed potatoes and tri-tip were cold. Portions were very small compared to photos. Partner got the walleye with crawfish and the crawfish was crumbly and cold. Dessert options were very small. Went for Great Plates and it was not a high-quality meal for $25 per person.

    Dinner was not quite up to our previous visits. The Baby Bleu Salad lacked bleu cheese dressing and was light on bleu cheese. The Bison Stirrup Steak, while tasty, was over-seasoned to the point that the taste of bison was obscured. The Beer-Cheese soup was wonderful. The Scotcharoo Cookie dessert lacked character… it was difficult to pick out what were the flavors. The wine was overpriced. Maybe it was a bad night. There was a very large, restaurant filling party after us that may have distracted the kitchen. There was nothing really wrong with our dinner, it was just not up to our expectations. I would not discourage patronizing Austin’s, and indeed will try them again in the not too distant future.

    The food was excellent, the service was excellent. What was not good was that I called twice several days before the reservation to request a table outside, and I was told "no problem we will make sure you have a table outside." Then I showed up with my friends and was told "we cannot guarantee a table on the patio". I just think they should have been honest with me when I called in advance instead of telling me no problem and then have the rude person seating people tell me "sorry, no guarantees for that!"

    A very pleasant dinner with a terrific and friendly staff. Would definitely come back. Only observation is that for the chicken tortilla appetizer, one of the tortillas included a chicken wing with bones in it. For someone with very fragile dental work such as myself this can be a risky and potentially extremely expensive proposition.

    Three customers ordered -- a beef burger, an impossible burger and a taco appetizer. Both burgers were VERY overcooked and dry. The 3 mini tacos barely had chicken in them. We will NOT be going back to Austin's.

    Always courteous and attentive waitstaff, and this time she did not disappoint. There were 5 of us, and all but one enjoyed their meal. I had one of their amazing salads with salmon, which had a lovely smoky flavor. The restaurant is very loud inside, since there are all hard surfaces. It was difficult to hear, with 5 people and in the middle of the room.

    From the glistening medium wood ceilings and panels, mission style lamps with comfy booths and tables set wonderful stage for an old friend gathering in downtown Fort Collins. Bowl of fully loaded chicken tortilla soup with nice bite sized pieces of chicken was delicious and the cranberry apple coleslaw was fantastic with fresh, crisp and tasty light touch on the tongue. The bison burger was cooked just right with just enough char, and tasted wonderful with bubbly cheddar cheese, fresh dill pickles, red onion, lettuce on top of a well buttered and toasted brioche bun. The highly anticipated vegetable of the day was the only downer. The asparagus was roasted well and saw lots of pepper but only tasted extensive salt almost to a brine quality. The other plate was a daily special of a very flavorful ham and cheeses sandwich with good mashed potatoes that just needed a little more butter. Ambiance and service was great.

    Although we were dining as a special for the Larimer County Food Bank (at a reduced price), the food was excellent and fully portioned. Three had the combo roast chicken and ribs plate and one had steak. All were very good. The Chocolate Mousse and the bread pudding desserts were also very good. Our server was excellent as well. It can be noisy at Austin's, which takes a bit away from the ambiance, but kudos to the management and staff for their wonderful support of the local community.
