Maudie's Cafe had a couple of generations of history and featured home style cooking by the time Joe first met Maudie Hamilton Wilson. Maudie served home cookin to the Austin politicos, families, neighborhoods, and O'Henry students. Started in 1954, Maudie's Cafe was 810 sq ft of yum - serving biscuits and gravy, chicken and dumplings, and cold beers. Maudie planned to close down her restaurant as she had become homebound, but as fate would have it, Joe Draker walked into Maudie's life looking to rent the house next door and walked out with a handshake deal to buy the cafe. Turning from homestyle to Tex-Mex in 1993 with the instrumental guidance from Roe and Pete Hernandez along with their brother, Jorge Arredondo, Joe, crew, and the customers have turned Maudie's Tex-Mex into an Austin Icon, a Tex-Mex family staple serving multiple generations. Maudie's Tex-Mex has been serving up tried and true Tex-Mex for 25 years.

Food is consistently good here.

I've been to several Maudie's, this location is old, outdated and crowded. Service was quick but not friendly or welcoming. Our best experience has been at the Maudie's on Brodie. Great service and a great environment at the Brodie location.

Nice atmosphere, even when it is crowded. Good service and strong drinks make this place better than most of the Tex-Mex in Austin. People sitting at the bar always seem to be having a good time, and it is fully stocked. Specials rotate every couple of weeks and are reasonably priced at lunch time. Shrimp tacos were tasty and not as heavily greased or overseasoned as I was expecting. Haven't been to the other location on Lamar.
