I most appreciate a good breakfast with strong flavor profiles - although who doesn't love a greasy mishmash of bacon, eggs and hashbrowns? I was very happy to see a menu with elevated choices and selected the egg white frittata with Kalamata olives, feta, spinach and tomatoes. Sides included grilled asparagus and a fruit cup. I should add the fruit cup is more accurately a fruit boat - easily three normal serving. It was absolutely delicious. I didn't try the asparagus and could only eat about half of the fruit, but enjoyed every bite of what I did eat. The frittata was especially nice with a dash of hot sauce.

Bees Knees.

We visited this spot on a sunny day, hoping for a great patio experience. The ambiance is top tier. The service is fine We ordered a Sam Adam's and The Bees Knees. The bees knees was meh. Def not worth $16. We might be back to try the food.

THIS IS SO GOOD!! I was really surprised. I thought it was just going to be a regular salad but it is SO TASTY and healthy. I LOVE IT!!! Great job on the salad and also love the ambiance and chill vibes

Brisket Nachos

I stopped here after a work event because I'd missed lunch and was starving. The waitress told me the brisket nachos would be a lot of food and boy was she not kidding!! This kitchen & bar is located inside of a hotel, so parking is free and it's a great option if you're staying at the hotel or attending an event nearby. The nachos were delicious, but I'd highly recommend sharing them with several people! It wasn't too crowded, but I definitely felt like the waitress was focusing more on people sitting outside as it was nigh on impossible to track her down for the bill and to get a container. She was very friendly, but mentioned she'd only been there ~2 weeks. I'm not sure how they section off the area for different guests, but I do wish she had been more present as I spent quite a bit of time waiting. There was a singer who came by later in the afternoon/evening, so I'm sure that would be lovely to enjoy with dinner. As far as seating, it's a bar, several high tables/benches, booths, and individual tables...plus even more seating outside! Food was very reasonable priced and I'd absolutely come back, but I think next time I'll just sit at the bar.

A nice sample food.

What a wonderful place! We came for a meet and greet that was hosted by Knotty Deck. The food was amazing with three areas with bbq, another with Mexican food and meats and cheese. We sat in the bar for a glass of wine before the event started and the bartender was fun! The outdoor area was really nice with plenty of seating. Def have to try this again.

Seasonal pasta with shrimps

Fish taco - right amount of everything. So good. Seasonal pasta with shrimps - feel like it's light even though it's creamy and heavy. So so good.

Red Snapper, Pablano Mashed, Carrots.

Great atmosphere and a fun staff. Decided on the Catch of the Day. It was Red Snapper with a Tex/Mex flair. I thought it was outstanding. I'd definitely order it again. Nice draft beer selection and plenty of spirits to choose from.

Love sitting out on the patio and inside. Nice and quiet, great food, and anyone can sit and eat. You do not have to be staying at the hotel. The service is great and everyone has been nice.

The Knotty Burger
Erin Y.

I was in the mood for a burger so using Yelp to find the best spot, I came to Knotty Deck & Bar. It's located inside of a hotel. The lobby was very clean and smelled divine. The restaurant has open seating so I sat near the bar. I could see outside to their deck with outdoor seating and lounging furniture. My server was extremely polite and knowledgeable of the menu. I ordered the Knotty burger which also has smoked brisket. Y'all!! It was soooo good!! They even brand the bun with their name which I thought was a nice touch.

Knotty burger and fries

This is an average hotel restaurant and bar. I dined here once for dinner and once for breakfast while on a recent business trip. Service was quick and friendly. Staff and other hotel guests do not wear masks, but totally expected in Texas and did not bother me. I had the Knotty burger for dinner and it was not your regular ground beef burger. This burger was a brisket burger and surprisingly tender, juicy and flavorful. I wouldn't mind dining here again the next time I'm in town, but sadly don't plan to stay at the Renaissance Austin again.

Great burger. Staff a little too chatty for someone on a business trip just wanting to watch the game at the bar.

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.

Coffee shop meets bottle shop meets wine shop meets cocktail bar meets pizza shop meets cafe/diner…read more All of these things rolled into one makes The Meteor a standout choice for a cup of tea or pastry for brekkie, a salad or burger for lunch, or pizza for dinner. 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. Cool vibe, steady flow of customers all day long. Had a smashburger and OMG fries (the seasoning will get ya)...really good! Boyfriend had falafel in a pita...really good. We shared a glass of iced ginger plum tea...also really good.

What a cute cafe wine bar…read more Had a glass of Rosè and shared the chocolate chip pecan cookies I know whythey are state champion winners!! Very good and huge and served warm! Inside is super cute
