Loved citizen all day for breakfast this morning! The natural light, beautiful decor and colors made the place feel airy like I could spend the day here. Our waiter Ethan was attentive and relaxed which made us sink into our booths even more! Plenty of food and drink options and everything was delicious! Looking forward to coming back for lunch and dinner! read more

My whole family loves to come to Citizens. Chicken & Waffles always is a hit. Great vibes.

Came here for brunch with my family and Ethan was awesome! He was patient and super friendly. Amazing service and the brunch was so good.

Definitely make a brunch reservation. We got lucky and got seated quickly at a table by the door, but as a crowd came after us they got quoted longer and longer wait times. The parking lot is small and awkward, but we got lucky and someone left as we pulled in. The service was amazing. The food took awhile, but it is understandable with how busy they got. He kept updating us and checking in on us. We had coffees and people watched so we weren't upset. The restaurant is really cute with lots of plants and a nice vibe. We tried the vegemite flight and found out I don't like vegemite, but the cheddar biscuits it's on is fantastic. It was an interesting dish overall. I'm glad we got it. We got a pancake flight and a chorizo egg dish--both were great. Pancakes were amazing. I'd come back and want to try the fish and chips. read more

I ordered via DoorDash, which was my first mistake, a fresh lemonade and Eggs Benny Classic for a grand total of $29.42. The lemonade wasn't delivered though there was a straw in the bag. I got a refund for that which didn't solve the problem of not having a drink for lunch. There was no silverware for the entree. The hollandaise sauce for the eggs was ridiculously awful, either the emulsion was off or there was too much acid added. I forced myself to eat it since it cost almost $30 bucks for an entree. The hash browns were okay but not that incomparable to a fast food joint. Overall, I will never eat here again and I highly suggest they take the eggs benedict off the menu. It's just too hard of a dish for your chefs clearly. Oh and DoorDash, I hadn't used your service in 2 years and this reminded me why. 2 items and your driver only brings 1...Seriously how do you stay in business? read more

This is by far one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. There was a super long wait. While we waited inside, it was uncomfortably hot. We were seating outside where the patio was riddled with flies. I had to cover my food with napkins to protect my food from being contaminated by bugs. I ordered the banana and butter scotch pancakes, poached eggs, and chicken sausage. I didn't realize it was possible to ruin pancakes but this restaurant figured out a way. I've had pancakes from box mix that is better. The pancakes lacked flavor and sweetness. The "syrup" didn't even taste sweet so it didn't make the flavorless pancakes taste any better. The chicken sausage was okay. Nothing special. To make matters worse, the food messed up my stomach resulting in a crime scene in the bathroom. This place needs to address their fly infestation and I hope their food handling is okay. read more

Enjoyed brunch at this Australian cafe on a Saturday morning. I recommend making an advance reservation online as this space can get pretty crowded with long wait times. We ordered the banana bread French toast, a side of hash brown with aioli dipping sauce, and the cast iron baked eggs. The cast iron baked eggs were a letdown, but the other items were fantastic. I especially loved the banana bread French toast! Absolutely decadent. We also enjoyed lattes and mimosas to go with our meal. Service was great. Ambiance was okay - a little loud for my liking. Acoustics are not great inside. Worth a visit! read more

I have been here twice and I love the vibes! It's super cute inside. They also have a patio too if you prefer to sit outside. The staff has been very accommodating both times I went. I would give the bbq pulled pork Benny a 5/5. Loved the sweet and savory combination. It was perfect with the runny poached egg and cheddar biscuit. The pancakes I got were fluffy and thick, but few bites were dry. I also wish they had more bananas. Turkey bacon tasted too rubbery. My favorite drink here was the salted caramel latte. It was rich and creamy. The blue matcha lavender was just okay. Overall, I definitely recommend this brunch spot. Food was delicious with great service. read more

Wow, what a great place to celebrate a birthday! Brunch was delicious and we ordered a variety of sweet and savory items, including the recommended pulled pork benny, breakfast burrito, breakfast biscuit, avocado toast, pancakes and French toast. The coffee was amazing, as were the fresh juices and 'fluffy' cocktails. Our server Henry was fantastic and so welcoming. He offered suggestions & checked on us regularly. The rest of the team were also on top of it, making sure we had everything we need. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, and the only item for possible improvement is the temp in the restaurant. It was really hot inside but it's hard for the a/c to keep up during an Austin summer. We will def be back and love having this spot in the neighborhood! We also loved the bday mimosa flight read more

We came here for a group brunch, and the vibes were wonderful! We had a big table out in the patio and our waitress Geri was beyond exceptional! Right from the beginning, she was extremely friendly and made us feel so welcomed -- she ended up surprising our whole group with 3 bottles of complimentary mimosa! Just know if you ever get her, it's about to be a damn, good time. Talk about service! :) I ordered the Breakfast Burrito with turkey bacon (requested that they put it in the burrito vs. on the side) with a side of the pickled jalapeños. Portion sizes are on the smaller side as a heads-up, but I enjoyed the hash brown crunch with every bite. The chipotle mayo sauce was a delicious pairing, so I recommend getting that on the side! read more

I wish they had a location where I live. read more

I have heard wonderful things from friends about this place and so glad I finally came to give it a try. The Smoked salmon Benny was so good and I was glad I ordered it. The smoked salmon was good paired with their hollandaise sauce and the serving was perfect. I felt like the breakfast was not greasy (like you can get at other places) and this plate was well balanced. I could not decide between the greens or the hashbrown so I decided to get the greens with a side of hashbrowns. The greens were quite literally thrown greens on a plate. Not dressed up, just added for the presentation. Hashbrowns: These were nothing special. I would say if you don't want greens you can switch them out, but they are not worth a whole side order. I just wouldn't say they were anything special compared to what you can probably buy at the store or make at home. I forgot the name of the sandwich, but it was also subpar. Again nothing I would not and could not make at home. Blue matcha and Lavendar: I got the iced and hot blue matcha and Lavendar because why not! If I came back for anything, I would absolutely come back for these drinks. I can't say if it's better hot or cold, but I highly suggest if looking for a drink on this menu. I also must say their plating was a job well done and made these picture perfect food photos. As for staff, I think staff was friendly and helpful as a first timer. Ambiance was also really cute when considering a brunch spot. I would bring my family here or a time with friends. That said, I think this is where the restaurant really executed. The ambiance was sweet so you are going for the experience. All that said, if I came back it would likely be for drinks. I thought it was okay and the food can be improved. There was not anything spectacular that jumped out at me in terms of flavor, considering the hype I heard about this place. It could have been that I had higher expectations, or maybe just what I ordered. Overall if you're looking for a hang out, I think this spot does the job. read more

I have been to Citizen and every time has been a home run. The staff is passionate and knowledgeable, the space is small and quirky in the best way, and the food is delicious. The menu is somewhat limited but they still have something for everyone and it's all very very good. Definitely recommend a reservation or you can order grab-and-go at the counter. It's definitely worth adding to your rotation for brunch and dinner. read more

"Dare to Dream" at this New York transplant with Aussie roots bringing international offerings and vibey scenery to Rosedale. I enjoyed chatting with Dan, who's knowledgeable about the brand, service standards, and foodie details. Dinner Specials run Wednesday-Friday, and the super Sunday Special - a crisp Fish & Chips dressed up with a side of greens & chicken-seasoned fries! The Harissa Chicken Bowl delights with a vitamin-packed prism of colors, sweet dates, perfectly spicy with a long finish, and cool yogurt to balance. Or an anytime indulgence - 1/2" thick pancakes that are fluffy, springy, and spongy with SO MUCH MAPLE syrup!!! Henry was welcoming and added to the atmosphere without being overbearing during a working lunch - thanks so much! read more

Yelp friends visited Citizen's All Day and shared while service was sub-optimal that the food was good. Since I was within one block of Citizen's All Day, I decided to purchase a complement to my coffee. I purchased the cheese biscuit, which was fluffy, spice and herb laden and laced with all sorts cheesyness. I was very pleased with my cheese biscuit. Citizen's All Day has a cool and funky vibe. It a convergence of a I Love Lucy set meets ice cream diner. The blue and white striped interior promotes a friendly and inviting persona. The light blue exterior is eye-catching and pulls you in from Burnet Road. Enjoyed my dining experience... read more

Okay. This place is adorable. And I want to come back for brunch one day! A girlfriend and I met here for dinner. Solid menu. I got the fried chicken sandwich.

Especially their coffee! read more

I didn't realize I had Citizen's bookmarked for a while, but I did, and I finally had a chance to have brunch here last weekend! With a location that's pretty central in Austin, it is easy to get to, and plenty of free street parking. If the weather is nice, sitting out on the patio is perfect. When I had brunch with my bf, we each got drinks and an entree for ourselves for brunch. I got the blue matcha & lavender latte, which had the perfect amount of sweetness! If you are sensitive to sweet lattes, it might not be a good fit, but it was the perfect amount for me! For my entree, I got the Smashing Avo Benny, which included smashed avocado, poached eggs, and hollandaise, all on top of flavorful cheddar biscuits and garnished with beet hummus. For my side, I got the greens. The wait staff was super kind and helpful too. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I am already planning to be back for brunch with a friend! read more

Service definitely fell short this day. First time here and got there a few minutes late for a 9:30 am reservation. Upon entering the place and vibe was amazing, loved the vintage sinage along with the booths/bar seating. I told the gentlemen the name on the reservation and he said there was no reservation under that name. I checked the map again to make sure I wasn't in the wrong place and tried to call my friend, which failed. I asked him again, and he said no reservation under that name. When my other friend arrived and we were both confused, as I turned around to see the patio/outdoor seating, I saw the two friends already there. Told them they were sitting outside and how to get there. Walking to the outside patio we passed by the uni sex restrooms had single stalls and a shared sink area, both were well kept. Once outside we were sat with our friends. There was no silverware on the table, which wasn't a big deal at the moment. The first server came over and was pleasant taking our beverage orders. I got a drip coffee w/Cream and sugar and then the mimosa flight. She said they didn't have dragonfruit so I could do grapefruit which wasn't an option sooo double up something. About five minutes later someone came to inform me alcohol can't be served before 10 am on Sunday so I had to wait the 20 minutes. Wouldn't that be good for the staff taking the order to know and inform the guest? The coffee and mimosa came out without issue, other than the coffee did not come with cream/sugar as requested and remember, no silverware? I waited as they said they'd bring that over. And I waited, I got up to go ask and she met me with the items requested, mind you the sugar caddy was also 1/2 full. Finally got to try the coffee and it was fine. The mimosa flight was tasty, they did have dragonfruit and it was like juice. Could be dangerous. Food order went smoothly with a different person and when the food came out we still had no silverware. A friend ended up stealing silverware from nearby tables so those that needed them could eat their food. I ordered the breakfast biscut sandwich and it was tasty. Large enough size to probably feed two peeps. I don't recall someone checking on us after we got our meals until we looked to be finished. I think this was were another trade off in staff happened while trying to settle the bill. We were doing separate checks and I was the third one to pay. Had the sandwich, mimosa flight and coffee. They informed me the coffee went onto my friends bill. They were supposed to refund her (went on Sun, as of today no refund) and charge me. I was super excited to try this place as I heard great reviews however after this experience from the start to finish, there is definitely not a desire to return. Hope they are able to get the issues resolved and provide a more seamless service to future guests. read more

The $0.57 martini from 3-6 p.m was absolutely the bait for me. How can you say no to that? So of course I ordered one, and it was delicious. I would happily do it over and over again. The calamari was good, but the chicken and waffles were a bit different and leaned on the dry side. That said, I'd still definitely come back to try other menu items, especially since they offer such amazing weekday deals. Overall, a fun spot to check out if you love a good drink special and an easy excuse for a midweek treat. read more

Had a nice brunch with some friends here on a Saturday morning. Food was good, and our server was very nice. Good vibes and aesthetic throughout. Wait was roughly 25 minutes-- not bad, but could tell that they seemed understaffed. Took a while for someone to address me when I walked up to the host stand, and service was generally slow as we ordered food. Parking surprisingly easy-- decent-sized lot. We ordered a couple of different coffee drinks, which were great (highlighting the cool blue lavender matcha latte). Food was good, not great: we loved the fluffy pancakes; super different and a really nice texture. The shakshuka was ok: didn't quite expect it to be the soupy texture. The cheddar brekkie sandwich was good; would get it again. Biscuits here are definitely a must order. read more

Citizens All Day is an easy go-to now! The breakfast burrito and the yogurt & granola were soooo good! The breakfast burrito was surprisingly light and not too heavy. The earl grey tea was actually very nice as well, so if you're looking for a warm drink option I'd do that. If you've never tried vegemite I'd recommend the flight, it's an interesting choice and worth it if you've never tried it since it gives you some different options. Parking is a bit tough given the location but there is plenty of seating. You may have to wait a bit during peak hours but not too terrible. They got some great music choices playing while you eat but not too loud where you can have a conversation with friends. Our server, Andy, was extremely friendly and gave us a great experience during our visit. Overall 5/5 experience! read more

I'm so glad I tried this place out. Originally from Australia, Austin opened up this place recently! It was delicious. The vibes inside were so fresh, fun, and innovative. There was a lot of people on a Saturday brunch, as expected, but me and my friend got seated right away. The table was a bit too small for the stuff we ordered and the table was very close to other tables, so it was loud, but I didn't mind. I really recommend the Salmon Eggs! smoked Salmon on Toast w/Avocado, Pickled Onions, and Eggs Benedict. Also comes with a side salad. The chicken salt fries were decent. I liked the Yuzu aioli! Service was very pleasant, efficient and professional. I will be coming back! read more

Citizens All Day is an awesome retro-vibe restaurant that serves amazing brunch! Came here with my friend on a Saturday morning and waited approximately 45 minutes before being seated. The restaurant definitely is a vibe, and the wait can be long. But the food/experience is worth it! My friend and I got the Big Brekkie, Vege Breakfast Burrito, Fluffy Pancakes, Churro French Toast, Black Coffee, and Nitro Nutella Hazelnut Latte. All delicious items! Citizens is known for their Fluffy Pancakes but I personally enjoyed the Churro French Toast more (I have a soft spot for French Toast). The staff here provide amazing service and are so friendly. Definitely love the vibes here. Wait times can be long but definitely recommend for fellow brunch lovers! read more

This is the second time that I've gone here in the past 6 months and I'm surprised to say that I've noticed the food quality has gone down, at least that's what I noticed in my dish which I got on both visits. When I went the first time, I was blown away by the warm cheddar biscuit, the creaminess of the beet hummus, the gooey poached eggs, and the crunchy, warm hash brown that was cooked to perfection. All this was gone on this second visit. I ordered the Smashed Avo Benny again and some things that I immediately noticed were different from the first time I had it were: - the beet hummus was dried to my plate so trying to scoop some up with the cheddar biscuit was hard/nearly impossible - the poached eggs in the eggs Benedict had jammy yolks instead of runny, which made eating it drier than I would've thought - the hash brown was over fried and dry. Think about if someone heated up a hash brown, let it cool to room temp, and then tried to re-heat it. That's what I experienced with it. - the cheddar biscuit, though warm was also hard to eat as it felt like it was overcooked in some way This is not what I experienced the first time I went last August and was sad to experience now (in January). Some things that could be improved are making sure the beet hummus doesn't dry out on the plate, fresh hash browns, and taking out the poached eggs early, rather than letting it cook longer. We also tried the blueberry and maple pancake and found that while they raved about it being great because it was a Japanese soufflé pancake style, it was also disappointing as the pancake was not very fluffy or bouncy like a Japanese pancake would be... As for other items, the Green Shakshuka was wonderful, the fried chicken and waffles were good, and the drinks (chai, oat, and matcha lattes) were nice and creamy The waitress was also very sweet and kind to my friends and I and made some nice recommendations! read more

Cute interior! Not sure if the AC was broke, or they just didn't turn it on, but it was quite hot in here. Also, we were assaulted by a battalion of flies, and we were on the inside of the restaurant. And the water did not cool you down, as it was room temperature. Service was perhaps a little bit inattentive for a non-busy day, they took our silverware with the appetizers, but never brought new ones. Korean fried wings were fine, crunchy, but had a pretty strange almost burnt flavor. The fish and chips was tasty, but the portion of fish was disappointing for a $24 entrée. Chicken sandwich was good enough, and I liked the chicken salt fries. We were extremely excited about the menu, but I guess after 3 PM you can't get a sandwich?? it says deli all day online, but not sure if that is just confusion created by the name of this restaurant. Maybe partially our fault for our excitement and expectations for this place, but quite a big letdown. It wouldn't have been so bad if this food was just mid and the prices matched. But unfortunately, not the case. Oh, and they were out of matches, which is something we were also looking forward to, but not a surprise. Rip. 1.5 stars but rounding up to 2 read more

A must-try in Austin! I was in Austin visiting a friend and we were looking for a nice lunch spot. One of the friends in the group is going to Australia in 2027 so we had to check this place out! There is easy parking right in front of the restaurant. Which if you've been to Austin, you know, parking can be a challenge, especially downtown. When you walk in, the vibes are retro diner but with a modern twist. There are plants hanging from the ceiling and a giant wrap around bar right in the middle. We were seated right away and knew we had to try the Vegemite Flight. I've never had Vegemite before and thought it was too salty for my taste. But I am glad I can now say I've tried it! I got the chicken caesar salad and it was delicious! Everyone else at the table loved what they ordered. The part that stood out the most was the service. Our server was outstanding and so attentive! I would definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in Austin! read more

Very good food and good ambiance if you are not looking to talk to people. The music is so high that you barely hear other people or the server. The service was HORRIBLE. We had to flag down our server every time we wanted something, to a point that I had to stand up and find someone multiple times. We ordered our drinks right when we got there and we did not get them until AFTER the food got to the table. I could see our order ready in the counter but the staff was too busy talking to each other to bring it to us. However, if you do not care about a very bad service and loud music, the coffee and food was very good, it exceed my expectations. The pastries are delicious and they have very unique menu. read more

Citizen All Day definitely lived up to the hype! This café has a fun atmosphere, great music, and delicious brunch. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, dishes I recommend are the French Toast Classic, Banana Bread French Toast, Eggs Your Way (do add the crispy hashbrowns), Blueberry & Maple Pancakes (so fluffy) and juicy Double Cheeseburger (the fries are so tasty too). The drinks were just as good... the Classic Mimosa, Iced Vanilla Latte and fresh-squeezed Pineapple Restore were perfect at brunch. I also enjoyed the Nitro Blue Matcha & Lavender Latte, which had a unique, smooth blend of matcha and coffee. Great food and great vibes. Alex had excellent customer service. I'll definitely be back! read more

Oh my lord it got worse. Came in for a 5pm reservation. Had to wait at the bar where we were told immediately they were out of espresso martinis...and then that was that. Never waited on or spoken to again. Got moved to a table- then waited 24 minutes for two drinks and in the meantime no one ever came to check on us or apologize or anything. Waited 32 minutes for two steak frites done medium rare- and mine was RARE just like what happened to my friend last time. This place cannot cook a steak for their life.m. The steak sauce was a cup of rock hard tar- don't even know how they got it in a ramekin. I actually couldn't get my fork into it. When I told the waiter he was flummoxed and was like what the hell- and showed the manager who literally shrugged at the host stand and went back to his cell phone as the restaurant crashed and burned around him. Food PILED up in the window, no one had drinks, the waiters are all young kids who had no idea what to do...I've seen a better situation in stress test night on Bar Rescue. Never again. read more
