“What an amazing thing for this beautiful owner to give to our veterans and to the Austin community”
$170 for a dinner for two and we were given plastic utensils…. Will not be back.
The place and ambience was amazing. Expect Wanda… she kept interrupting me and my friend.
Thursday I was excited to try TNT as I am an Austin native.

I just stopped by for a small plate and a drink and let me just say this. I WILL MOST DEFINITELY BE BACK! Miss Wanda made one of the best lemon drops I’ve ever had. I came close to close and she still provided me with wonderful service not rushing me at all. 10/10 recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

“I went out with a my Sorors during Black Restaurant Week, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious.”
I went out with a my Sorors during Black Restaurant Week, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious! I ordered a burger, and I have to admit, I love it when food has a little flair—this burger was even branded on top! The owner was super nice and came over to say "Hi" while taking our orders. It was such a fun experience!

“From the moment we walked in being greeted at the door it was a great experience.”
From the moment we walked in being greeted at the door it was a great experience. The atmosphere is top tier!! Black excellence at its best in the heart of the hood. It was almost like we were somewhere else 😆. Jania was amazing making sure we were comfortable (and took the best pics) and Sparkle our server ( so sweet) suggested the pineapple chicken bowel… THE RICE HAD ME IN A CHOKEHOLD!! My husband had the tasting plate…..AMAZING!! The appetizers and desert did not disappoint either. We had the spinach and cheese bites and a slice of the sweet potato cheese cake OH MY🙌🏾. Such a vibe. We had a great time with great food. Can’t wait come back! 10/10 atmosphere, food and service.

“Loved every moment of TNT Rooftop Restaurant’s cooking class.”
Loved every moment of TNT Rooftop Restaurant’s cooking class! I made the New York strip steak and my husband had the salmon—both came out amazing. The class was hands-on, fun, and easy to follow. The rooftop setting was beautiful and added such a special touch to the evening. Great food, great vibes, and a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend this Black-owned gem!

“The food was very good from the French toast to the grits w scallion and the lamb chop and shrimp...”
The food was very good from the French toast to the grits w scallion and the lamb chop and shrimp for the Sunday brunch special $30. That comes with mimosa. The menu is touch less and QR. cool to prevent germs from spreading. They also give you take out silverware that’s wrapped so it further helps with germ prevention thank you. Pierre was the face of the place bc as soon as we walked in, he greeted us and he was so friendly and kind and open-minded. He made us feel like home. His job was to also make sure we didn’t come in with weapons like knives or guns and had to pat us down. He also had to look at the bags. None of that bothered us because we understand it’s for safety and he was very sweet about it and very respectful. Taneka is a top notch owner who really cares about her business and her employees doing a great job. I was very impressed with her managerial style. She is very welcoming and her mindset is that she wants everyone to feel like Home here. And I appreciate our waitress Kila for being nice to us and giving us a positive experience at the end. So the food… oh wow the GRITS … the best ever!! The flavors with scallion on top and every bite was so good. Even someone who didn’t like grits loved TNTs grits. The lamb chop was very flavorful and done just right. The shrimp was fresh and grilled just right too w some Cajun seasoning which went real well w the grits. BTW Taneka said they will be giving out free food to veterans Monday Memorial Day 5/26/2025 and the beautiful rooftop will be open! What an amazing thing for this beautiful owner to give to our veterans and to the Austin community. Love it. Live DJ today and he was very good to have some nice throw back music from the 80s to 90s also. Just know that all checks will include an 18% tip on the bill so don't pay extra unless you want to add extra. I understand why they do that as default so don’t be upset bc a few rare patrons might not tip the hard working wait staff. I've been there too being a waitress. Parking is free on the street.

We’ve been to TNT rooftop restaurant a couple of times and have enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We never sat on the rooftop, but we’re hoping for the coming season to try out the rooftop the wings and buffalo shrimp where the highlight of the meal definitely will be back and the drinks are great
