Taste On Main

Delicious! Went on a Friday night without reservation. The hostess told me will be about 45 minutes but maybe will be some seats available at the bar. We went inside and sat the the bar rail. Everything was excellent! Our server Samantha was very nice and professional. The oysters were so fresh that we order another round! Highly recommend this restaurant! Had a fantastic dinner.

Taste on Main in Buda is the place that makes a strong first impression and keeps you curious enough to return. The menu is playful yet elevated, balancing familiar comfort food with refined execution that feels intentional. My first visit for brunch left such a mark that I came back the very next day for dinner—and both experiences held up beautifully. Brunch was hearty and memorable. The Bad Ass BELT lived up to its name with thick slab bacon, a sunny-side egg, heirloom tomato, and aioli layered on Texas toast—messy in the best way and perfectly paired with fries. The Biscuits & Gravy gave a thoughtful twist on the Southern classic, with a sausage patty, silky egg, and beef fat gravy that was rich but not overly heavy. Loaded Fries topped with short rib, guacamole, and pico were indulgent yet balanced, ideal for sharing. Drinks were equally impressive—the Frozen Piña Colada was light and tropical, while the Frozen Kentucky Coffee was creamy and indulgent, almost dessert-like. Dinner elevated things further. The Gulf Coast Redfish stood out with its delicate texture under crawfish mustard Béarnaise, tomato jam, masa bread crumbs, and chili threads—a dish that felt composed and memorable. For comfort, the Chicken Fried NY Strip delivered with a golden crust, juicy steak, country gravy, and rustic mashed potatoes, striking the right balance between indulgent and approachable. Overall, Taste on Main shows remarkable range and consistency. It’s elevated enough for a special night out, yet warm and familiar enough to feel like a neighborhood go-to. A welcome addition to Buda, and absolutely worth repeat visits.

Chef's choice oysters are always fresh and delicious. I was hoping the fresh sourdough was warm (ours was cold) but the hot bone marrow made up for it. The clams, brussel sprouts, and mushrooms were delicious. My table mates had the petite filet and lobster roll, both yummy. And the fruity pebble creme brulee was divine. We shared a couple of bottles of wine and espresso martinis. Their Monday wine happy hour is awesome.
