    Egg Classic Benny
    Ellie N.

    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.

    Cappuccino with Coconut milk and a Strawberry Pimm's Cup cocktail
    Brent S.

    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.

    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!

    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
    Samyukta S.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Chicken Sandwich
    Matt H.

    Really good experience! We weren't sure what we wanted for lunch and decided to pop into Hillside for a quick casual spot. We really enjoyed our experience! I had the bloody Mary, which was great and the chicken sandwich which I can confidently say as an avid chicken sandwich lover this was truly one of the best I have ever had. I have extremely high standards for food and for me to say that this is one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had is huge. It was perfectly cooked, flavorful and well balanced, and I quickly added it to my list of best bites of 2026. Service was great. Our waiter could not have been friendlier and more accommodating and the ambience was perfect for a nice lunch. I would 100% recommend Hillside to anyone in the area and will be coming back for that chicken sandwich next time I'm in Austin.

    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!

    We came here for the popular $25 steak frites sunday night dinner. Just as a warning, you will need a reservation cause it got packed quick. Apparently this was an old pharmacy that got converted to a restaurant and it was really cool to see the different architecture and decor. As for the food itself, the fries were definitely the best part. Super crispy and seasoned well. The portion sizes were generous and the medium rare steak was juicy and chewy just how I like it. However, the chimichurri sauce was really lacking and did not add any flavor. So it was pretty much just fries and a bland steak. I'm glad I came though and recommend people to at least try it for a well priced steak dinner.

    Steak Dinner and Fish Po Boy
    Michael M.

    I had a great dinner experience here with my wife. I love the Sunday Steak Dinner special for $25. Such a great value for an amazing meal. I always appreciate farm to table restaurants that incorporate fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The indoor space felt cozy and intimate while the outdoor patio allows you to enjoy the nice weather. The service was great as well. Definitely a place to try!

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.

If you're coming here definitely do yourself the favor and Uber as parking is incredibly difficult to find there. Getting in is very quick and efficient and once you're in you're greeted by live music and a fun open space to get drinks and hang out with friends. There are multiple different places to get drinks from which is nice as you can choose how long you would like to wait in a line. Drinks are not unreasonably priced and they were good as well. The ability to sit throughout the area, get up and dance, or just listen to music makes this a great spot to stay entertained for a while. We came when there was an event being put on by Zyn where they were giving out free drinks to nicotine users which was funny because why not get you hooked on nicotine AND alcohol. But seriously, there are typically food trucks and more things going on here but the Zyn trucks took up those spots which was a bit of a letdown but we're assuming that's just a one off event. Between a good band, decent drinks, and a good amount of seating options, this is a good spot to sit down with some friends and just vibe out for the night. We'd give it a recommendation if you're looking for something fun but not too much fun on a night on East 6th.

The service was great, albeit there wasn't a big crowd. Everything came out quick and the staff were super attentive. The music was fun and vibes were great! I got to say that some happy hour prices were totally reasonable. Not boozy libations... but ok. However, $17 for a small cocktail? Joking right? Prices were from $5-$17 for everything from draught, premixed, and mixed but I feel like for that price point you are competing with bars that can be more creative with their drinks for a few bucks more. Is it worth a go? Sure! Recommend. Looking for basic cocktails at a reasonable price point- maybe. However they do focus on Mescal themed drinks if that's your thing so it's a bit of a niche.
