Takeout dishes from Tso Chinese.

| Tso Chinese

by Darcie Duttweiler Updated Jan 26, 2024, 3:04pm CST

It’s always comforting to pick up favorite meals from local restaurants, especially during the early days of the pandemic. And sometimes, nothing is better than eating restaurant food in the comforts of your own home.

But while most meals can be made for takeout, it doesn’t mean they all should be. It’s a fact that some food just travels better, from pizza to noodles, soups, and more. These Austin restaurants are serving up some of the most delicious to-go and delivery dishes in town, like the iconic Home Slice Pizza, Stiles Switch Barbecue, and even sushi from Lucky Robot.

Just a reminder that, while delivery apps are very convenient, restaurants keep more of the profit when you order directly through them.
