You can be sure you won’t leave West Sixth Street hungry. Recently featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Holy Roller’s menu is made up of unapologetically over-the-top comfort food. For Texan-inspired grub, head to Ranch 616 for fried oysters with green goddess dipping sauce, along with their famous Ranch Water. Steak and more steak is on the menu at Hoffbrau, one of the area’s original dining establishments. For breakfast and lunch, grab a seat at Counter Cafe, where the burgers and crab cake benedict are the stuff of legends. Get your biscuit fix at Fixe before delving into the modern Southern menu, featuring items like deviled eggs with smoked trout roe. Farm-to-table and Chinese go hand-in-hand at Wu Chow, where the beverages are as creative as the food. For Italian, Italic’s contemporary design complements the restaurant’s hearty rustic fare
WHAT’S NEW Just off West Sixth Street, grab an espresso and a stacked biscuit sandwich at newcomer Better Half Coffee & Cocktails. This sunny all-day eatery also has wine, beer and spirits, and is a hit with coffee snobs. Experience draft cocktails and Asian-inspired comfort food like confit duck foldies at Bar Peached. Your night will only get better at Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, an open icehouse with a friendly feel and a bar specializing in highend whiskeys.
