South Congress Jo's

The morning rush hour can be intense, but locals and tourists don't seem to mind, as a long queue means there's time to snap a picture in front of the famous i love you so much mural found on the side of this walk-up shack. Seating is limited, and it's outside-only, so, especially if it's Saturday, come early and bring a good read. Live music is featured most weeks, and by afternoon, you may witness patrons dancing in the parking lot (local beers and frosé are also available). They also host their own showcase during SXSW. This is Jo's original location, but there are now nine locations in Austin.
