Bouldin Creek just picked up a serious new all day hangout with High Road DelicaTexan, a deli-style offshoot from the team behind East Austin favorite The Cavalier. The spot quietly opened on Friday, December 12, at 915 W. Mary Street, sliding into a low-slung corner space that now packs a cafe, neighborhood market, and late-night bar under one roof. Early menus lean hard into Texas-sourced proteins, house-made sausages, stacked sandwiches, and grab-and-go goods, backed by premium espresso and frozen punches that do not exactly whisper.
The concept is billed as a hybrid cafe, cocktail bar, and market, with the space selling house-made sausages, cured meats, and other items for folks to take home, as reported by CultureMap Austin. That coverage also notes that photographer Taylor Hannan provided images for the piece.
From the Cavalier Team
The project unites chef Russell Dougherty, salumist Ryan Wilson, and beverage director Chadwick Leger with the creative operators behind The Cavalier, according to High Road DelicaTexan. Dougherty has been connected to Little Darlin', while Wilson brings experience from his family's Burt’s Meat Market in Houston and a stint at Franklin Barbecue. The team says the goal is to keep the space approachable for the neighborhood while getting very serious about charcuterie and sausage craft.
What’s On the Menu
The food menu leans into house-made sausages and stacked handhelds, including an andouille, a brat, and a High Road brisket hot dog, along with sandwiches like the Sopprestracc that layers soppressata, stracciatella, and mortadella, per the ordering page on Toast. Riffs such as Burt’s Boudain Waffles and a Blue Ribbon Burger round out a lineup designed to hit both the lunch crowd and late-night appetites. Many items are available for takeout through the restaurant's online ordering system.
On the drinks side, the bar pairs premium espresso from local Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors with an attention-grabbing cocktail list that includes the Dilly Dilly Swag Martini, made with olive oil-washed Ketel One, dill vermouth, pickle juice, and chive herb oil, plus frozen punches flavored with Big Red soda, according to CultureMap Austin. The bar also lines up nonalcoholic options, teas, and alternative milks, while the adjoining market stocks house-made sausages, pickles, and seasonal spice blends alongside wine and branded apparel for takeaway.
Local Context
High Road's debut follows months of build-up after the project started popping up on local opening lists earlier this year, a move that highlights a broader trend of established bar teams stretching into all-day operations, per Eater Austin. For Bouldin Creek, the newcomer adds a meat-forward option to an already busy South Austin dining strip, with a casual daytime feel that loosens into more of a bar and games vibe after dark.
Hours and Takeaway
According to High Road DelicaTexan, regular hours run Sundays through Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Thursdays through Saturdays from 8 a.m. to midnight. The contact information also lists the address and a club sign-up for event news and merch drops. The market's packaged goods are rolling out in phases, so more house-cured items are expected to appear on the shelves in the coming weeks.
