Houston-based seafood and oyster bar, Liberty Kitchen, located in the Pressler apartment complex in popular Clarksville neighborhood. The restaurant is owned by the Feed TX restaurant group, which also includes BRC and Petite Sweets in the Houston area.
Liberty Kitchen Austin brings beauty, and comforting seafood food to the neighborhood in a new space that is among one of the most visually impressive you’ll see in Clarksville. The decorations pay homage to the Texas Gulf Coast with an open airy design that almost makes you feel like you’re dining near a salt water beach instead of the bustling traffic of 5th street.
Prep your sea-legs and put on your stretchy pants, this menu is an adventure in tastes and endurance. We arrived for brunch so we started with a few apps. If the monster in your belly is ready for a pre-feast nom-fest, start with a Deviled Eggs Trial with features 4 different devils, one topped with hot smoked salmon, another with with fried oyster, a third with pimento cheese and crab, and the last with spicy fried chicken and a side bacon jam to complete the trial. If you love deviled eggs, this will easily be one of your favorites!
For the entrees, you’ll probably wish you skipped the appetizers or you’ll wish you had the appetite of a linebacker. We eat a lot, however our eyes became bigger than our appetites because these portions were HUGE! Before we knew what happened, 3 large plates landed crashed on our table. First an insanely delicious Fried Oyster, Sausage & Fried Egg Sandwich (that should be shared!), then an impressive Cajun Chicken & Waffle that’s so delicious, it’s a bit of a mind f@$%! Finally the Shirred Eggs with hot smoked salmon and caviar, oh how I think about thee every day of my life as you sit so cute and tasty, staring at me from your little cast iron pan.

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
