    Chocolate chip and kolache
    Amanda M.

    I am abnormally in love with pancakes. I could eat a version of them with most meals and do not understand why it is so difficult to find decent ones. So, when I learned of JP's through Yelp research, I was stoked! And when I saw the beautifully turquoise beacon of a truck parked at Zilker Park during the holiday festivities, I quite literally squealed like a child and ran gleefully to place my order. The menu is smaller than I had seen online, and pumpkin spice doesn't appeal to me, so I grabbed a chocolate chip pancake in a cup, a kolache pancake, and a cup of hot chocolate. I settled under the holiday lights and dug in. The hot chocolate tasted like everyone else's: previously powdered and perfectly acceptable. The kolache was a large sausage and a pancake/kolache bread batter hybrid rolled thin to look like a pancake with a thin layer of yellow cheese melted in between to glue them together. The bread was pancake adjacent and a little stale. It is served with syrup- no, thank you. Speaking of syrup, i should mention that while I love pancakes, I am very anti processed, maple-flavored goo. Unfortunately, the chocolate chip pancake had that layered in somewhere. I don't know if it was in the batter, the whipped cream, or its own sticky layer (if I had to wager, I'm guessing it was in all of it), but it overwhelmed the dish. I tried to eat it. It was too sticky and filled with saccharine sadness. The pancakes felt soggy, yet the chocolate chips mostly weren't even melted. It was odd. I decided to try to take it all home and give it a whirl the next day when I could give it a better shot or someone else at home would be able to give me a different perspective. I asked the nice people working the truck if they had anything I could use to take the leftover home. They don't do Togo. I sled if I could have another cup with a lid and she said no because it is careful accounting that goes into the cups and she wouldn't sell me an empty cup either, so if I couldn't finish it I should probably just throw it away. It was just so... derisive. So, I feel 3 stars is generous because some people like stale pancakes soaked in sugar. I'm sad I'm still on the hunt for a pancake Mecca on the go. But there are good sit down pancakes in this town! Savory ones, too! (they're just not here)

    Peach!

    I love this concept! Warm pancakes and ice cream with toppings! We got a peach flavored one to share and it was all we needed after dinner to end the day happy. Definitely looking forward to coming back to try other flavors. Unfortunately only 3 were available at the time we visited... The bacon boy looked good.. This location is in a food truck park with plenty of options for dinner, pre-dessert, if desired. Also, in the summer they have misters to help cool the seating area off, which was a relief. Overall highly recommended for a dessert that's slightly different from the usual.

    JP's Pancake Company is located in a circle of food trucks and that truly makes the experience. The staff are UT students so that was great to see. My friend and I split the Hayley and absolutely loved how the dessert wasn't overly sweet and balanced out. They were also giving out free hot chocolate that day which was a bonus- definitely would recommend!

    White chocolate pancakes with PB, Nutella, honey, and banana.

    It's a late night dessert place. They only open at night so it's called pancake company but let's be clear it's not made for breakfast. For three small pieces of pancakes, it's a bit pricy. In terms of taste, pick anything with white chocolate pancakes, they are so tasty. They have build your own options. I just picked a menu item, then changed one ingredient. I think it's a good way to avoid weird combinations but still try to appeal to my taste. People working there are super friendly. They were actually training one lady, so I got my order a bit slow. But I watched the entire procedure preparing my order. It was fun!

    Velvety goodness!

    Today I got the opportunity to have some of JPs pancakes! The owner and operator of the truck makes the pancakes from scratch. I ordered three items from the truck which were the Texas Bowl, White Chocolate Chip Raspberry pancakes and the Red Velvet pancakes (all at $6.00 each). The White Chocolate Chip Raspberry pancakes were sweet with hints of tart raspberry. This pancake serves well as a dessert. The Red Velvet pancakes tasted as the name states. The Red Velvet was moist and simply melted into itself. The Texas bowl was more of a breakfast scramble. It had bacon, eggs, potatoes and cheese mixed tightly into a cup. This was by far the most filling of the three ordered. The wait for the orders were well worth it. This truck is a must try!

    Late night cravings? Dessert after dinner? What's better than pancakes in a cup? My sister and I took a drive towards UT and decided to stop and grab some pancakes! I made my own with PB, bananas, and caramel. It was delicious!

    Anthony M.

    One of the most unique and best tasting desserts I've ever had. Absolutely loved it. A bit on the pricier side for the amount, but understandable.

    This how they used to be, but not anymore!
    maria m.

    Used to be so good with a big variety of things to choose from but now it's a limited menu, and the options aren't good. I was excited to come back after they've been closed for a month, because I used to come here every weekend but now I'm definitely not going to be returning until things get back to how they used to. When you start a business with something that caused it to become so big, don't change it, simple as that.

    The bacon boy
    Nathan F.

    Thankfully got a pic before finishing it 30 seconds later! The bacon boy was incredible and i can't speak highly enough of the quality of the ingredients and pancakes! Ordered over the phone and picked up shortly after. Another friend got a BYOB and it looked amazing. Highly recommend in the west campus area!

    Pure awesomeness!! Drove by the location on Hwy71 and did a quick U Turn to check out the eye catching blue trailer. Each in my family ordered a different cup- I had the Sunday morning, my wife had the 2Pak, and my daughter had the Keyshia Cole. Each was was an explosion of flavor and sweet, sticky, goodness. I added bacon to my cup and the salty really set off the sweet. Their staff was courteous, polite, and all around helpful. Now that we know that it is here, it will be a regular stop when we are in the area. I highly recommend this place- it was a great experience.

    I ordered the The Classic - white chocolate chip pancakes, raspberry syrup, raspberries, and I substituted the whipped cream with Nutella because I'm not a fan on whipped cream. It was delicious, and SUPER sweet! They make the food to order, so it does take a little bit, but you can definitely taste the difference. The syrup is really unique and doesn't taste store-bought, and the pancakes were very fluffy and sweet with the white chocolate chips in there (the chips were abundant!). It was great with the Nutella as well. The cup is pretty pricey, which is why I'm not giving four stars. You can get 2 large pancakes for just a little more money at Kerbey Lane, but if you're really craving some specialized, gourmet, sweeter & and more delicate treat with a nice, cute and outdoor atmosphere, then come here. It's not shareable because you can gobble this up quickly!

    Super tasty treat. The staff is nice and the sweets are delicious!! I had no idea this truck existed but I will definitely be coming back. I loved it!

    Love this place! Staff is always friendly and super nice. The menu itself is a great selection and if you don't like what they have you can build your own pancake. The portions are a good amount as well.The drinks are also great if you need a quick coffee or lemonade. Love their variety of lemonades!

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 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.

Because of that experience, we likely would not return to this particular location, especially when we've had consistently better visits at the Mueller one.

My beautiful girlfriend, traveling home from Vancouver, had a morning layover in Austin just recently on a weekday, and I got us a reservation to Paperboy East. Compared to the weekends, their schedule was a lot more open. On the weekends it can be nearly impossible to get a spot unless it's a few weeks in advance. We had a reservation at 8 am right when they opened, and when we walked in, we were seated immediately. The place looks like a modern twist on the old-school diners your grandparents love. There's also an upstairs and downstairs patio. Plenty of space! We were sat at one of the two-person tables. To start, I ordered their house drip coffee while my girlfriend got their "Lil Remi," an iced cappuccino with salted caramel. The black coffee was excellent and flavorful, while my girlfriend thought her Lil Remi was like a milkier shaken espresso that she really liked. From their starters, we ordered their Blueberry Lemon Pop Tart to share. I am a sucker for a homemade Pop Tart, and the jam on the inside was extremely fresh, and the icing and crust of the Pop Tart itself was sturdy and full of flavor. For our entrees, I ordered their Texas Hash with added avocado while my girlfriend ordered their famous Paperboy Pancake with chocolate chips as a full breakfast with bacon and two over-hard eggs. It wasn't a long wait at all to get our food. The Texas hash looked great and was presented quite nicely, which is a shame because I immediately proceeded to mash it all together to make sure every bite had a perfect balance of the roasted pork, sweet potatoes, egg, and avocado. It was very filling and substantial, which is great because I needed it to last me up to dinner. The pancake is the star of the show and is worth the order alone. The flying saucer they serve rises like a cake in the oven and is extremely fluffy. She was surprised with how it was a traditional pancake but loved how moist it was for its size. A perfect pancake to her. A perfect pancake to me because she couldn't finish it, so I took it to go and ate the last few bites immediately after dropping her off at the airport. For being an upscale diner in the prime area of Austin, I knew Paperboy was going to be pricey, but I honestly thought that it would crack $100 before tip between the two of us. I was very happy to see it was not even close to that and cost us about $80 with tip. To me, that felt fair for Austin, and I would pay that price any day of the week for a breakfast like we had. I've had a few of the locally owned brunch and breakfast spots in Austin and concur with the masses that this sits strongly at the top of the list. Best pancakes, best atmosphere, and the best times.

I had some parts where I felt like I was eating chicken jerky but the flavor was nice. I enjoyed the hot honey sauce on the chicken. The biscuit was harder than I expected it to be. Overall the food here was fine, a bit on the pricier side. Also, the parking here is limited as it is all street parking in an alley.
