    I went there to try their Tuesday special and it was delicious. I got a burger with fries and an old fashioned, they were all delicious! I got reservations so it was easier to sit down but the place was hot! I'm not sure if the AX wasn't working or there's a leak. I'd come back though.

    Came here for a quick brunch before leaving for the airport. The menu was small but so was my appetite- I had a fruit tart while my other guest had the waffles and avocado toast. I can't wait it was a particularly memorable experience. It was also pretty warm inside, as though the AC system was in disrepair. The service was ok but it was clear they were preparing to close and things felt a but rushed.

    We waited 30 mins from sit down until we got our food. And until then, no utensils. We had to grab the sets from the table next to us. The menu is simple and lack creativity. The food is decent though.

    We wandered in on a Sunday morning and got seated right away on their little patio. It's a cool, quiet vibe--easy going but classy. Felt like we were on vacation. The menu keeps it simple, which I like--no huge list to stress over. We split the Fried Egg Sandwich and a pancake with blueberry compote. Also grabbed a Strawberry Pimm's Cup cocktail and a cappuccino. Everything was tasty and hit the spot. The sandwich was good, pancake was light but filling, and the drinks were solid. The servers were super friendly and kept an eye out to see if we needed anything. We'll definitely swing by again to try more stuff off the menu. Good find in East Austin.

    Poached eggs and toast

    Cute spot that has inside and outside options. Staff is attentive and kind. Mimosa carafe, steak n eggs, poached eggs and toast lets goooooooo

    Eggs Benedict
    Chelsea L.

    Great place for brunch! The interior is unique as this used to be an actual pharmacy. Inside and outdoor seating available! We sat outside to enjoy the nice weather and got the eggs Benedict and buttermilk pancakes. Both were yum! My husband normally doesn't eat pancakes (think they're too sweet) but this tasted amazing and not overly sweet! Very filling too. Can't go wrong with Eggs Benedict! I always enjoy flocking through the poached egg. So satisfying! I think there aren't many options on the menu, but it is still a solid brunch spot. Street parking.

    Arancini Balls

    I was surprised to see the mediocre reviews! My experience at Hillside Farmacy was delightful. My girlfriend and I visited for a date night; we loved the romantic bistro vibes and fun decor. The restaurant was packed at 8pm on a Friday evening. Insulation in here isn't great - it's LOUD. This was a little frustrating but the food and drinks made up for it. Drinks: I ordered a mezcal drink which was phenomenal, and my girlfriend got the grapefruit jalapeño margarita which was a little too strong/spicy IMO. Food: - Half dozen oysters - served beautifully with all the sauces and fixings. Tasty! - Arancini balls in a marinara sauce - 3 to a portion. I found these to be flavorful and filling. - cheeseburger and fries - this is easily one of the best cheeseburgers in Austin. Simple but absolutely epic. The hand cut fries were excellent as well. We had a great time here and look forward to returning soon!

    This place felt nostalgic due to the gorgeous revamp of the historic hillside pharmacy. The decor was very pretty and kind of cozy. The service is was nice and our waiter was very attentive. We went around 10:30am. My fiance got the fried egg sandwich and said the avocado & bread was great, but the overall sandwich lacked seasoning. There were no salt & pepper shakers on the tables but I'm sure we could have asked. The poboy was very delicious, I asked for some lemons and it took it to a solid 5 stars. You get the option with the sandwiches to get fries or Cesar salad as the side. I chose Cesar salad for a lighter brunch. Overall I would come back if I'm ever in the area to try something else on the menu and I would recommend coming for a bite!

    Side dining patio. Great music playlist!

    Hillside Farmacy is a vibe - pleasant staff, lovely decor, and wonderful food and mixed drinks. Justin took such extraordinary care of us - he made us feel like we were eating at a friend's house. They have created the consummate neighborhood experience. I really need to come here more often! Join their newsletter as they dream up some excellent specials. Don't sleep on their afternoon happy hour offerings. Lastly, I forgot they created some outdoor dining spaces in front and on the side. Support this awesome eatery!

    I came here for a bachelorette trip and the vibes were immaculate. Our server was super nice and helpful. I ordered the eggs benedict and it was delicious! I couldn't finish it all so I ended up taking it home, but even after being in the fridge for a while, it was still amazing. I definitely recommend for a cute brunch spot with friends!

    Fun cocktail for the table
    Bia S.

    My first visit to Hillside Farmacy for brunch was lackluster - poor service, not many options, and it was just so crowded. However, I later went for dinner and it totally changed my perspective. The inside is full of darling and unique decor that feels like an old school pharmacy and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was totally on point. Plus, the service was excellent.

    Lauren D.

    This is such a cool and niche place to visit! We had to wait for a table about an hour so we popped into this wonderful little bar! It was great and they sat us immediately! The ambiance was really unique like an old school pharmacy. The ambiance was really unique and since it's close to Halloween they had it decorated for the holiday. I got an Affogato and it was delicious! My friend got an old fashioned and said it was pretty good! Parking is difficult to find but they do have paid parking kind of close by. The tab was not unreasonable, we will be back for brunch!

    Beet Martini
    Abby K.

    This is a good go to for an intimate or elevated dinner. The inside is beautiful and the patio is really lovely when the weather is nice. The food is reliably good, and they change the menu up fairly often, rotating in dishes based on seasonality. The cocktail menu is also fun and interesting. I have found the service can be little slow and hit or miss, but nothing that turns me off coming here. They also have a decent happy hour and a steak and martini deal I've heard people talk about. This place has staying power in Rosewood, so add it back into your rotation!

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.

Their burger is easily one of the best I've had in Austin, especially paired with their thin, crispy fries. It's my go-to order almost every time. One thing I love is that they switch up the steak portion of the menu a few times a year, and it never disappoints. Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine. At this point, June's has become a staple in our house--usually with a couple of Diet Cokes and either the burger or whatever steak they're featuring. A few of my friends swear by the chicken sandwich (fair warning: it can get a little messy!), the half roasted chicken, and the tuna crudo, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you order. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which keeps us coming back. I definitely recommend making a reservation since it tends to get pretty busy, especially during peak hours.

You have to scan a QR code upon arrival to get in line, thought that was weird that the host didn't just add you to the list- anywho. The wait was about 15 min , we walked out to the patio and discovered lots of neat plants, and the mimosa bar. Patio was covered for the most part with ac units and fans to cool you off. We were sat inside. Our waitress was a older pescatarian lady which was cool since i'm pescatarian too. She provided great suggestions and was very personable. We ordered the prima dora omelet which would have used more filling but it was over all good, the black beans we ordered in the side , we possible the best black beans i've had. We also ordered a veggie benidict off the seasonal menu.

While Magnolia Cafe is a longtime South Congress staple and a beloved Austin spot, my visit didn't quite live up to expectations. I met a group here for a pre-show meal and appreciated being seated promptly upon arrival, even though my entire party had not yet arrived. I ordered the chicken caldo soup, which was not served with avocado. The waitress did not check in with us immediately after the food was served but when I inquired about it I noticed there was an up charge on the bill for avocado. I recommend allowing the substitution of the tortilla chips with avocado in the future for a healthier alternative. However chicken caldo traditionally cones with avocado. I also tried the Mag nachos, with tortilla chips topped with black beans, cheddar/jack cheese, jalapeño, tomato, green onion, avocado and sour cream. These were very tasty and unlike the caldo, was served with avocado. The food took a while to come out and the service felt slower than expected. Magnolia has a great reputation, so I was hoping for a better experience. Unfortunately, this visit fell short of expectations.

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.
