Troy FlintMay 5, 2015Tremendous charcuterie and an array of fresh, creative sandwiches and brunch options. My wife loved the mocha and the charcuterie is a must!
Austin ChronicleJune 18, 2013The atmosphere – we're tempted to say "art direction" – is superb, and the food's splendid, too. Meats and produce genuinely are farm fresh, often picked in the morning at neighboring urban farms. Read more
AFAR MediaMarch 20, 2015Come for the Cheese Plate (farmhouse and artisan cheeses, marmalade, round rock honey) and perhaps stay for the amazing menu with daily specials. The Persimmon cheesecake is a must-try dessert. Read more
Geoff DuncanSeptember 7, 2012Same owners as Eastside Showroom and Swan dive. A great new restaurant that has blown up on the east side with it's European atmosphere. We love going here for lunch.
Niran BabalolaFebruary 9, 2014When your grandkids ask you what it was like to be a hipster around the turn of the century, you'll tell them about that time you had brunch on the patio at Hillside Farmacy on a gorgeous day.
Alyssa PFebruary 23, 2015The mac & cheese (with hot sauce) can't be beat! The affogato is also a great after dinner treat - add a fresh cookie for a little extra!
Raymond de ConinckMarch 10, 2014Choose the steak & fries, it's awesome! Great atmosphere, excellent food, top service. We had a great time!
Michael KingJuly 10, 2015Champagne, St. Germain elderflower liqueur, a splash of orange bitters. Simply exquisite. Thanks goes to my mixologist Jeff for the awesome aperitif hook up.- Ice cream sandwiches are life changing. Try the salted peanut cookie w/ pecan pie ice cream.
alex hopesJuly 18, 2012Great atmosphere in this renovated Eastside home. The food is hit & miss, but the friendly staff compensates for the lackluster menu options. The faccia bedda was bland, the coffee was excellent.- Michael KingJuly 12, 2015Summer tomato and smoked mozzarella salad. Great change from the green salad. Delicious!
- SaraOctober 11, 2014Monday night half price oysters and $5 cava is reason enough to make this a weekly tradition
If the decor, "grocery" section, and cocktails aren't Brooklyny enough for you, the insufferable brunch crowds will truly transport you to the Burg!- Tara CucciaJuly 21, 2013I don't think u can go wrong here, food or drink-wise. Really special cocktails. Not the greatest service so as long as ur prepared for that & don't let it overshadow the culinary experience, ur good.
Sheyla ConcepcionOctober 17, 2015Mac n cheese is delish. Add some pancetta! Also, the Lone Star is only $1.
Jeroen WillemseApril 9, 2019Snacks at half price during happy hour and certain drinks two bucks off. Awesome place and awesome server.- Jane MoritzFebruary 4, 2017Perfect for dates!! Very hipster so be prepared for that! Great Mac and cheese, Egg sandwich is B
Kinjil MathurOctober 8, 2015The place is beautiful. The brunch is satisfying. The hot sauces are out of the world. But the service needs a lot a lot a lot of help.- Austin's first African American Pharmacy - now serving delectable farm-to-table in a Brooklyn-esque atmosphere. Get the grapefruit-jalapeno margarita.
VoniaApril 4, 2015The interior design is awesome here, very antiquated. Oysters! Make reservations for brunch!
Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013Great food but a little pricey for the amount you get. It's the perfect place for a light lunch.
Cesca RezaieJuly 4, 2017The concept of this place is great. Local food. Contemporary vibe. Food and overall service was just "ok". Long wait & staff is constantly asking you to move because it's so crowded & no place to sit.
Alison R.January 13, 2013The mac and cheese is pretty good, but the gnocchi will blow your mind. If the Ward 8 cocktail is on the specials menu, get it.
Jefferson BurrussFebruary 9, 2014Grab a Bloody Mary and prepare to wait — the kitchen slows to a crawl during brunch.- Lisa MarkusonMarch 23, 2016your bloody marys / salad soup and cocktail meet / inside this cool glass
Dustin ElliottSeptember 14, 2013Ordered a Drambuie Old Fashioned and my taste buds just exploded 😍 One of the best I've ever had. 👌
- Social News NetworkJune 29, 2012Love for a relaxing meandering lunch. Get the house drink! Food is fresh and delicious.
Brian SpearsApril 28, 2013Currently, blisteringly hip. This will be good or bad news based on your hip index of palatability (HIP). Check tip date to extrapolate current hipness.
Victoria SchaeferJanuary 10, 2015Good food. Hipster hangout. Eclectic but friendly staff. Good wines by the glass.
Anna NguyenJune 3, 2012A special, not on the regular menu: crepe with smoked salmon, goat cheese, toasted shaved almonds, peach, truffle oil.
Emily CharltonSeptember 5, 2014Perfect for brunch. One of my favorite places in town. The gin punch isn't half bad either.
Rachel CohenMarch 13, 2012Get the poached egg with your sandwich! Ask for it on the side since it makes the sandwich kind of wet and dunk away!
LindseyMarch 7, 2012Mac n Cheese YUM! Thank You sandwich was amazing. Can't wait to come back for Afternoon Tea!

restlessnapkin.comJanuary 25, 2013First time to try Ratatouille, was extremely hearty and flavorful for a veggie dish.
Matt FineMarch 9, 2012Try the macaroni and cheese. Also please try the peel and eat shrimp. It's head on.
DarkSkin 🌺 QueenJuly 25, 2013I am not a salad person but for some reason I seem to like them here. Even the house salad is good!
- Morgan TierneySeptember 30, 2018Foods very fairly priced, just took us 2 hours after waiting for a table and our orders to get food. I think wait times are a known pain point here

"Quite possibly my favorite place to eat in Austin. Nothing prepares you for the hot food bar and all of that deliciousness. Carrot ginger soup is to die for. Wish they would tweet daily soup offerings"
