There are several eateries around 43rd and Duval in Hyde Park. Hyde Park Bar and Grill is one of the most venerable. And iconic. (Little Austin joke.) They say they are located at 'the fork in the road.' The giant fork, topped with French Fries at the moment, is what they mean. They have generous portions of freshly-made food, famous fries and are often crowded. Their midnight closing makes them popular after events. The owners are friends of ours and they are really nice people. They recently opened another restaurant in south Austin with the same name and serving similar fare. Since they took over the former location of a chain restaurant, you have to celebrate that.
