Apparently this is a rotating food concept restaurant where eventually East Meets Wings will be…read morereplaced by another restaurant in the same space. Chicken and wings all ways, this place brings big flavors onto big wings, with delicious sides and desserts. It's sort of half service where you order at the front and they bring/bus your food/trays. It's a simple but nice interior with a little bit of outdoor bar seating as well, definitely better if it's warmer out. We got three different styles of wings and a couple of sides to see what they offered. I liked the VFC and AG the best as they had nice flavor and weren't too salty. The tamarind was a bit too salty for me, but with the brussels, pickles, and slaw, there was some much needed acidity to balance things. I think the pricing is a bit high on the wings for how much you get but it's a fun concept and we need more Asian food in Austin. Hopefully they'll stick around and open a food truck somewhere in town.

Their first concept, East Meets Wings, is the same owners as the Fil N Viet Truck that served…read moreskewers and chicken wings. This is their new project that is just focused on wings. They have brought over 2 of their flavors, VFC Viet and Singang, both are the exact same incredible quality and taste as they were at the trucks, but they have added a couple more flavors. I tried the mala and butter masala wings, but they also have Ayam Goreng and thai basil. I really liked both mala and butter masala (both are so on point!), and will have to come back to try the other two. Their chicken is incredibly high quality as it comes from a Freebird chicken farm where they leave "stress-free lives", which is fantastic. Their beverages are incredible as well. I tried the cantaloupe milk and thought it was so unique and could see myself coming back just for a drink, but I don't think I could resist their wings to be honest. The restaurant itself is under a hospitality company that rotates the food vendors every 6 months. The management has a very collaborative relationship with the pop-ups they host and seem to work together on the menu. I had a lovely chat with the general manager who was giving us advice on what to order. The service and attention was unbeatable. Not only would I come back for East Meets Wings, but I'm excited to see what Playground will offer next.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: Came here with the wife, baby and in-laws for a morning brunch session before hitting up the Mueller Farmers Market. Definitely get a reservation here because the place was packed. For food, we got an assortment starting with the buttermilk biscuits. Which I highly recommend. For the mains, I got the buttermilk fried chicken and waffles, which was good but lacked something (maybe some heat or salt). The other dieshes we got were the shrimp and grits, southern crab cake benny, and the southern breakfast. All were actually very good. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done here was around $110 for 4 entrees and a biscuit. The biscuit is definitely a must get and try.

The chefs kiss was their homemade jalapeno ranch for dipping. I need that in a bottle! It's delicious! The sweet potato fries were perfectly cooked and even better dipped in the ranch. It was a fun time! It's quite noisy, but to be expected with such a large crowd. It was a fun time for sure!

Another Broken Egg Café has the kind of menu that wants you to believe you're about to have a…read morepolished, indulgent brunch -- the sort of thing Austin does extremely well when a kitchen actually commits to balance and intention. On this visit, the ideas were there, but the execution felt like it took the morning off. The Lobster & Brie Omelette sounded like it was aiming for a little coastal glamour, the kind of dish that should feel light, silky, and just a touch celebratory. Instead, the Brie came in like it had something to prove. It sat on top in a thick, molten sheet that never melted into the eggs -- it just smothered them. Pair that with cream cheese inside, and the whole thing leaned dense and sticky on the palate. The lobster was tender, but it didn't stand a chance under all that dairy. In Austin, where chefs know how to let a star ingredient breathe, this felt more like "we had Brie, so we used Brie" than any real culinary intention. The gumbo missed the mark in a different way. The first spoonful tasted thin, like the roux never fully committed. It didn't have that slow‑built depth or warmth that makes gumbo feel like it's been tended to. The seafood didn't bring much character because the base wasn't there to support it. Honestly, the focaccia on the side had more personality than the gumbo itself -- and that's not the hierarchy you want. Service was warm and the space pleasant, but the food felt like ambition without follow‑through. In a city where brunch is practically a competitive sport and where balance, technique, and restraint are the norm -- these dishes needed more refinement and a clearer sense of flavor priorities. With a little more intention, they could be far more compelling than they were on this visit. Tell me this, Yelp fam... what is your fav brunch spot? Write a review about it if you have one.

Will forever come back here when I'm in the area! Edit: right after I wrote this review and was already incredibly impressed, Tia (the legend herself) came out and talked with us. She was a super sweet lady who seems to genuinely care about all of her customers. I can't recommend this place enough

Back then, Austin needed a bakery so badly that easy tiger was a standout savior. Fresh bread (still great today!) and pastries were so welcome. At some point after Covid, quality started slipping. Pastries weren't changing. The croissants were soft with no crunch. The chicken schnitzel which is used to be thin had turn into a thick blob basically a giant chicken nugget. The pretzels I always loved tasted stale like they baked them and left them sitting under heat lamps for hours. Sandwiches tasted noticeably worse. Still, we continued to come here. And then they were sold in the last year. New owners and what's the first thing they do? Fix issues? No that would be hard. They raised prices. A LOT. Coffees cost more than anywhere else in the area. Lunch for 2 adults and 2 kids meal hits $90 with zero leftovers. Every time I come here I feel so squeezed and it's never worth it. So this is it. After 7 years I'm through. The place has so much potential but whatever is happening here I cannot support. There are far better bakeries (looking at you sugarwolf) and far better coffee places (literally dozens). Here is to hoping for a turnaround.
