All the long-time local places started in an era when food in Austin was at a different level. A much lower level. So even the local favorites weren’t that good cuisine-wise. The new level is really hard to compete with for these kinds of places.
I will say that long ago, at it’s original location, Kerby lane was pretty decent. I noticed once it became a chain the quality went down.
