Southern Food to Try

“Great divey bar with a killer personality and a fantastic Cajun-leaning menu. I recommend the chicken tendies!”

“The food here is unreal. I am in the skee ball league that is hosted at The Cavalier and have managed to try everything on the menu and most of the many specials they’ve had since Brewskee Ball moved to The Cavalier and it’s all 10/10. The staff is the best - it’s a really great spot with awesome tunes, great regulars, TVs for sports and niche culture classic movies, unbeatable atmosphere. Love coming here!”

Chicken Biscuit

$8.00

Buttermilk-battered chicken on a house biscuit with honey-guajillo butter.

“I had the chicken biscuit off the brunch menu when I stopped in to meet the other riders for Social Cycling Austin. The flavor blew me away. The sauce underneath the biscuit was what brought it all together. Save it for a flavor blast when you get to the heart of it, or spread it around the entire chicken, which overhangs greatly the borders of the biscuit. There is only one kind of coffee but it was delightful. I forget what kind of creamer they used that day, but I really loved it. An almond milk, maybe.”

Biscuit & Jam

$6.00

A housemade buttermilk biscuit comes with seasonal jam and whipped butter.

“This place is a great spot to enjoy the Cajun cuisine, shoot some darts or play a game of billiards. The atmosphere is relaxed with a great assortment of craft beers and mixed drinks. We ordered the Buffalo wings and they were such a tasty treat. I also indulged in a couple of different IPAs - soooo delicious! I highly recommend The Cavalier for hanging out with friends or even a fun date night! It’s sure to be a hit!”
