The Nighthawk. It began as a burger joint in 1932, at the corner of Congress and Riverside, then the Nighthawk Cafe opened on Guadalupe St., and became an instant hit with the UT crowd. Although it grew to include seven restaurants, with locations in San Antonio and Houston, its last remnant closed in 2018. 

The Night Hawk and its sister, Frisco, hold a unique place in Austin history. They were among the first restaurants to hire minorities and women, as far back as 1935. Both restaurants desegregated in 1959, serving black customers years before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 made it mandatory across the country.
