South by Southwest (SXSW) consumes the city, and Austinites either love or hate it. What everyone can agree on is that dining out is really hard during that time. Here is Eater’s updated guide with restaurant suggestions outside of the city’s crowded, very-branded centers (downtown, east side, Rainey, South Lamar, South Congress), offering great meals without the hassle.
