    spinach and mushroom omelette
    Robin W.

    Great Brunch place! I ordered the spinach mushroom omelette. It had the perfect ingredient amount, I was worried that there would be to much spinach but was so happy that it wasn't the case. The hubby enjoyed the pancakes as well. The service was just ok. We also enjoyed the vibe of the place!

    Kids eat free, so there's that after a visit to the thinkery; otherwise, I really don't see any need to visit this place. When comparing to a Denny's or an IHOP, I would rank Blue Lacy just a grade below in terms of taste. Restaurant vibes are fine, the menu is just uninspired and the food was very average. Price was okay for the location. Would I Go Out of My Way to Try? No Would I Return? No Food Taste- 4/10 Ambiance - 7/10 Service - 6/10 Value- 6/10

    Blue Lacy is part of a hotel called Origins, and though I have never stayed at the hotel, I did have breakfast here a couple of times. They have a breakfast bowl that is really great. You can get it with a few different meat options, including, of course, brisket. It has an avocado sauce, eggs, cheese, and hashbrowns. It's filling! The waffles are good too. They do a chocolate-covered strawberry espresso that is yum times ten. I haven't tried any of the breakfast cocktails, but I'm interested in trying a Bloody Mary next time.

    This place was fine... The service was definitely good and they were attentive, but overall the food was just average. They also do not have a lot of variety on their menu. Easy to get in and out of though because they're not super busy when everyone else is.

    Fantastic food!!!! Stopped here with kiddos for lunch and everyone was raving about the food!! The vibe is also soooo cute!!!

    Coffee - cute mug but wasn't wild about what was inside.

    The Good: My omelet was tasty and my hash brown crispy (the way I like them). The space was cute. The Not So Good: The coffee The Ugly: I think they were short staffed but our food didn't appear until we asked for it 45 minutes later. In fairness, they did take a percentage off our check (ergo the 3 stars).

    Came from GA to visit and Stopped at this location after visiting Thinkery.. great idea. The restaurant is such a cute vibe. Restrooms look and smell great. There is even a little play area for kids while waiting on food. So we started off our orders with two bloody Mary's one with gin one with vodka, a pineapple mimosa and oj and apple juice. For entrees, we got: waffles, omelette, bacon, eggs and hasbrowns. Everything was absolutely delicious. No complaints.. the staff exhibited great customer service. And very hospitable. Would definitely recommend and return.

    REVIEW FOR DOG MENU ONLY: I've been wanting to try Blue Lacy for a while, and the biggest selling point for me was their menu for dogs! I was excited to give it a shot, but after reading several reviews on multiple occasions, I could only muster ordering meals for my fur kids. Our waitress was super friendly & loved on our dogs! We ordered two dog meals (splitting one between our two small dogs and one for our husky), and they were obsessed. The meal had quinoa, rice, peas, carrots, blueberries, and chicken and devoured every last bite. Unfortunately, I was surprised to find the food cold and not fresh!! While I'm not sure how long Blue Lacy will be around, I really appreciated them taking care of our pups! More places in Austin should follow their lead--this is the only spot in Austin I found that serves food to dogs!

    Happy hour

    This place has happy hour every day. We had $7 margaritas and half off appetizers. The cauliflower bites, fries and mozzarella sticks were very good. The sliders and margs were good too. Service wasn't that great though and we sat outside so I never went inside to see the restaurant. Was great though and will come back!

    Breakfast menu
    Mary L.

    I'd never heard of this place until I discovered it on a stroll around Mueller, and my friend and I decided to give it a try for our weekly Sunday brunch. They serve breakfast all day and the breakfast menu was small, and to my mind pretty run-of-the-mill. It all seemed a bit pricey to me, but I am cheap and still not fully resigned to the fact that even a basic breakfast tends to be $15 these days. I ordered a breakfast bagel. It cost a mere $12, but when my plate arrived, it felt pretty skimpy. It consisted of a plain egg bagel, an egg fried hard (which I dislike, but no one had asked), hashbrowns that were not brown (but they were cooked through and fairly tasty), some smoked Gouda, and two slices of very good bacon. But the kicker, and my friend, and I both laughed about it, was the side of fruit. it was basically a thimble of three blueberries, two small chunks of strawberry, and two very thin slices of pineapple. It seemed ridiculously tiny. My friend was happy with her Breakfast Bowl--perfectly soft-scrambled eggs, more of that good bacon, undercooked hash browns, and a little bit of avocado "crema." The service was friendly but quite slow, even though the place was the opposite of crowded. They validate parking for the nearby McBee parking garage, which was nice. Austin has so many places for brunch. Some of them have very good prices for good food. Some of them have higher prices for exquisite food. Some of them have menu items that are so unusual or so good, you just have to come back. But as my friend and I walked away from Blue Lacey, we agreed that we agreed that although it was pleasant enough, neither of us felt any desire to come back.

    Ribeye steak and frites, medium rare, perfectly cooked and lightly battered fries with a side salad
    Yunny D.

    We had such a good dinner last night at Blue Lacy. I'm so surprised at their low rating. They are not a high end restaurant but their food is good and they have a rotating happy hour that's Mon-Fri 5-7pm. My dirty martini was $7 and we had half off appetizers and our ribeye steak frites was only $18. It was a great deal for decent food and the service was fantastic. I was sad to see that it's not as busy as it should be for the location they're at but there were people we could tell from the hotel and a lot of single people having dinner. It's such a nice place in a great location.

    I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about this tiny restaurant in an older strip mall bearing…read more a big blue sign that said "Diner" on it. But I enjoy new experiences and menus with eclectic dishes. The menu had few choices for breakfast and I was unsure why it was suggested as a breakfast place. It's actually a good place to eat any time of day! The beautifully decorated patio provided the perfect welcome into their modestly decorated air conditioned restaurant and bar. When I say bar, it's more like a 1950s bar that you can sit at and have a meal at. Although drinks and meals were offered any time of day! The waitress was pleasant and helpful in suggesting add ons with my meal. But being a purist, I wanted to try it as intended. The food arrived in the normal amount of time. When I first saw my mozzarella omelette I was a little surprised! It didn't look anything like what it was described as! Oh well! I thought. Let's give it a try! My taste buds were happily amazed! Could this omelette smothered in mushroom gravy, green "pesto" and bread crumbs be the best omelette I've ever had?! The mushroom tomato gravy was so smooth! Along with the cilantro avocado topping. That tasted more like pesto, gave it the perfect zing! I had wished I the had ordered some toast to dip in the sauce. I could have done without the bread crumbs. But they were easily swept to the side. The amount of mozzarella cheese in this omelette led me to believe it was more of an omelette lasagna than a plain old omelette. This place is definitely a must if you are visiting Austin!

    My first experience here was amazing, which is why I was excited to come back for breakfast…read more Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. I ordered the migas, and the amount of onions in the dish was overwhelming--so much so that it felt like I had ordered a plate of onions rather than migas. The masa cakes were definitely the standout item and were absolutely delicious. However, the rest of the dish fell short. The sauce was extremely rich, making it difficult to enjoy or finish the meal. That said, the restaurant itself is adorable, and our waiter was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were both great. While this breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I'll still return and stick with favorites like the fried green tomatoes and taquito salad, which were excellent during my previous visit.

    I dined at The Scarbrough for brunch during my stay in Austin. It was just a short, pleasant walk…read morefrom my hotel. The Scarbrough is located inside the Scarbrough Building lobby. They specialize in crepes. They have a handful of small tables as well as couch seating. You place your order at the counter then the staff brings it to you once it's ready. I ordered my go-to drink, an oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon as well as their Lox n' found croiffin. The latte was great. The Lox n' found croiffin comes with a toasted croissant roll, smoked salmon, ricotta, avocado, arugula, capers, pickled onions and dill. I added an egg for an additional charge of $2. This was a beautiful and tasty sandwich! It was very filling, too. I highly recommend checking out this unique spot!

    The food is delicious, and the setting is unique, but the service is a bit slow…read more The restaurant is located in the lobby of the Scarbrough Building. It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method. I ordered the lox n found, a toasted croissant roll with smoked salmon, avocado, dill ricotta, arugula, onion, and capers. The menu says it also comes with a side of roasted potatoes, but mine didn't come with that. The sandwich was delicious and filling, so I definitely didn't need them, but I do feel like I didn't get what I paid for.

Rather just have a latte or a beer? They've got beer on tap and in the coolers for take away purchase. Cider and other bevvies as well. Going to a dinner party and want to grab a nice bottle of wine? They've got you covered. Fancy a cocktail or a glass of juice? Have at it. They've also got a small shopping area where you can buy hot sauce, gift cards (to The Meteor), cups, mugs, and more. Wanna hang with friends? Nice interior decor with seating. Small seating outside in front of restaurant and a large covered patio in the back. Want a place to get some work done? Bring your laptop, they've got wifi for ya. Walk up to the counter, place your order with the cashier, get a number, grab a seat. Someone will bring out your food when it's ready.
