    Biscuits were delightful! They have that homemade with love feel to them. Soft, thick, filling and chewy. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese, it looked promising and did not disappoint. Service is kind yet minimal. They take the order, you sit, they bring it. It's a very relaxed space. Pretty comfortable. The benches move. December 24, 2024 will be their last day open. They've had infrastructural issues and haven't found a new location to serve their delicious biscuits. They've mentioned their instagram as the place to check for updates.

    You know what I really enjoyed? Was the fact that once greeted the menu was explained and described with detailed whether you were a hbd or returning customer. The friendly atmosphere made it feel like home. The food omygosh was perfection. I'm coming back for the taste and flavor alone. Great job here

    Field trip to Little Ola's to try out something different on the other side of town. Enjoyed tasty biscuits. I suggest asking which ones are favorites of others just to try. I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the biscuits tasted. The egg and cheese were secondary, but was also very nice. My wife tried the biscuits and gravy. Whoa...! Next time, I'll order that one as well. The service wasn't fast... yet it was made fresh as we ordered. Perfectly done. Enjoyed the table setting. Cafe style. Cute. Quiet. Perfect for a morning routine at the bakery.

    Spicy chicken sandwich
    TheBeardedBeauty C.

    It's a vibe here at little olas, great hearty biscuits and flavorful chicken. I was told the most popular choice is the honey butter chicken biscuit, but I had to go with the spicy chicken biscuit. The heat was there but not overwhelming. I will be coming back for sure Peace and love: Tha Beard

    Bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit
    Shane B.

    Flavor is fantastic, but only go here if you hate money. $10 for a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit is beyond ridiculous. What a joke.

    A nice little eatery in a strip mall in North Austin that specializes in biscuits. Wife and I tried it for breakfast this morning. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit with honey butter. The sandwich was impressive large and the scrambled egg was cooked perfectly, The sausage is made in house but was way too spicy for us old folks. The biscuit was amazing and is real star of the show! Wife had a sausage biscuit. Next time I would order a biscuit with egg or just a biscuit. Very friendly staff. Give it a try.

    This place isn't far from home and has been on my list to try for a while now. This morning we decided to check it out. I am surprised to see some of the other reviews on here about the pricing and the cleanliness of the location. We felt this place was super cute and clean, no strange smells - except maybe chicken cooking? I ordered the spicy chicken biscuit and my boyfriend got the Honey chicken biscuit. We swapped for half of each and were SHOCKED at the size! Each was $10, there are other options for $4-6 with sausage, egg, etc. These were super filling and the chicken was massive. The biscuits held up well for a sandwich especially of that size. The chicken was really crispy but not burnt. Both of us voted the honey chicken one as our favorite. The spicy chicken was not bad but it was kind of like chili oil on fried chicken not really spicy. Just different than we expected. The chicken was very juicy and tender. Overall we give the food a 7.5 out of 10 but its a great atmosphere with reasonable pricing.

    Finally, it's here! Perfect biscuits that don't require me to drive downtown or to the east side. Little Ola has moved into the old Garbo's brick and mortar location in Wells Branch on Bratton and Merrilltown and we'll all be gaining back the 15 lbs we just lost (or maybe that's just me). Get that $1 cup of honey butter to add to whatever else you order. You're gonna want that. Everyone raves about the chicken biscuits, and they're good (if you prefer dark meat), but our favorite is the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. It's big enough for 2, a good thing if you want to try some other menu items. Watch out for the spice level in that sausage, it's not for amateurs. And if you like that sausage, don't miss the sausage roll, which comes with gravy and is IMHO one of the tastiest and most unique breakfast items in Austin. Of course, you will need a couple of plain baby biscuits to go. These are perfectly crispy, flaky, savory, and layer-y, better than Meemaw made (RIP). If you get too full to eat 'em, just store them in the fridge and reheat open-faced in the toaster over or air fryer - still perfect for some Irish butter and jam, Nutella, or whatever else you have in your home pantry. Welcome to the neighborhood, Little Ola! P.S. No adult bevs yet, but once the liquor license is approved, they will serve some beer and craft cocktails like those enjoyed at big sister downtown, Olamae.

    Biscuits and gravy

    This place is terrific. The food was fresh and had that homemade goodness to it. They vibe was cool and it's always good when you have free wifi and pretty decent drip coffee. This place is the real deal, delicious food that makes you want more and more! Service was great, people were fast and friendly.

    Cinnamon roll and buttermilk biscuits
    Mariana G.

    I got a box of two buttermilk biscuits and a cinnamon roll for $6 using the Too Good To Go app. In terms of amount of food, I've received more from other places using the app. However, everything was delicious. The biscuits are huge! They're crispy on the outside, buttery on the inside. I ate them with cream cheese and blackberry jam and thought it was a fantastic combination. I shared the cinnamon roll with my boyfriend and we both agreed it was great, better than the cinnamon rolls from Cinnaholic. And they're the perfect size to share.

    Egg biscuit sandwich and coffees

    I wish I could give Little Ola's Biscuits 6 stars it is that good!!! I have been on the hunt recently for the best fried chicken sandwich/biscuit sandwich, and Little Ola's is by far the best. Everything I have ordered here has blown me away. The fried chicken sandwich is so crispy, and they put the perfect amount of honey to make it sweet and salty. The biscuits on all of the sandwiches are crispy enough, but also not dry or greasy at all. We also got the egg sandwich with tomato and ham, and although this sounds like a simple sandwich, this was my favorite after the fried chicken ! The tomato is so fresh and the ham is very thinly sliced. We've also tried the spicy chicken which is great as well. Lastly, we ordered the cinnamon roll, and if you are a sweets person this is a must!! A warm and amazing cinnamon roll, leaving you with the perfect end to your breakfast. Lastly I love the staff working here. I've been here a few times and each time the staff is so welcoming and helpful with the menu. They encourage you to stay and refill your coffee, and enjoy your breakfast. I can't say enough good things about this place. Although other reviews say it's pricey, I think it's worth it as you are paying for a quality sandwich and in my opinion the best in Austin .

    We finally tried out Little Ola's Biscuits to celebrate my sister in law's birthday and it didn't disappoint. Very efficient and quick to go process and everything was pretty good. Next time I want to try out the sweet pies as the savory ham one was amazing.

    Little Ola's Biscuits makes great homemade biscuits I have tried their homemade biscuits and their chicken biscuit sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious and the portions on these biscuits is very generous and a big portion size. They have a decent size menu and they also offer kid seating so this is a very family friendly place. The biscuits and the sandwiches are a little pricey but the service and the quality of the food you get is top notch.

As I walked up to the easy to find and steps from the PURPLE PARKING GARAGE restaurant, I was already vibing off the patio. Totally giving vacay veranda. The hostess greeted me with a smile, and I dipped into the restrooms before I asked about our table. Of course, I went for a patio table and while I didn't enjoy the occasional fly zipping around, the shaded and breezy tables were perfection on a Sunday afternoon. Our server was Jamie and he was absolutely a DREAM. I was fully prepared for that awkward wait at a table alone when you're lunch date is running late and you have no idea exactly how late... From the moment I was seated alone, Jamie introduced himself, was warm, and fully engaged in manifesting a wonderful experience. He was mindful about sharing just enough with me about the scratch to table mission they have at Doc Bs while saving the good stuff for when both my friend and I were present. My friend ended up going with their special and it was TO DIE FOR!!! I want to say it was Chilean Ahi Tuna Salad? It was some sort of voodoo magic seared onto the Tuna, and they present it like dominoes across the bottom of a giant pile of delightful, chopped salad. I did the Buffalo Chicken Salad, and I ate every crunchy blue cheese tickled bite! Waiting on a friend too? My safe go-to order was the Guacamole! They bring it out with the Sweet Potato Chips - HOUSE MADE and Jamie gave me Tortilla chips too in case my friend preferred something different. They have fans on the patio, so it's not too hot. I'd complain they didn't have the wine I wanted, but when they didn't have my first request, not only did they bring me my 2nd request, but the gentleman from behind the bar walked over a taste of a comparable wine to the one I had originally chosen and I absolutely appreciate that extra effort to make sure I felt valued and seen. Way to go, Doc Bs! **Note: When a fly decided to take a dive and a swim relay in my glass of wine, they didn't bat a lash and replaced the glass for me and seamlessly disposed of Fly Guy in all his drunken Memorial Day glory! Jamie is a treasure. That kid is going places, very impressive spirit.

You'll certainly pay for it, but at least you're getting high-quality food and drinks. I absolutely adore the grilled artichokes, which don't need the tartar sauce because they're already so rich and flavorful, but it kills me that it's $20 for a starter with 4 trimmed halves. The guacamole with sweet potato chips is also superlative, and reasonably substantial in terms of portion size and satiation. For the best value, definitely hit up the lunch menu, where you can get a "wok out" bowl with tofu; a highly competent vegan option. I only go once every year or two, but service is always on point and I never walk away unhappy with my meal. Just make sure you have the budget for it!

Both colleagues ordered the Salmon while I opted for the Roasted Duck. There was a significant period of silence when we first sampled our meals soaking in every flavor. We all devoured and commented on the green beans as well! I tried the Pecan Pie for dessert and it was outstanding and very rich! We had a great meal and will return on a future trip I'm sure!

    Vida Verde Kitchen -- A Hidden Gem That's Worth Finding…read more Austin is overflowing with trendy restaurants where the food is decent, the lighting is aggressive, and the wait time requires a light snack and a personality shift. I tend to avoid those places. Vida Verde Kitchen, thankfully, is not that. Tucked into a great area but slightly hidden (the kind of spot you feel proud to "discover"), Vida Verde feels like a restaurant that exists for people who actually want to eat, not just post. The menu is a thoughtful fusion of Tex-Mex, fresh flavors, and Americana--familiar enough to be comforting, but creative enough to keep things interesting. Yes, it's a bit overpriced, but the food earns its confidence. The guacamole is an absolute must, and anything leaning Tex-Mex is consistently solid. I can vouch. The wait staff deserves real credit here--knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the food and experience, which goes a long way these days. The atmosphere hits that Austin sweet spot: industrial touches softened by lush green foliage. It's stylish without trying too hard, which is rare and appreciated. If I had one note? This place needs a happy hour and a few more solid specials. Do that, and Vida Verde becomes dangerous--in the best way.
