    Food was great! Lots of bacon and crispy Pancakes coyid be shared so big. Egg perfect runniness Coffee was really good too. They were busy, says only open 3 days. I guess they renovated, so food came pit slow. Still gives 5 Love the brick wall

    French toast was burnt and cold. The syrup tasted like sweet water.

    I don't know how this place has more than 2 star review. If you have 2 hrs to burn and want burnt food and horrible service by all means come to this place. The service to the food was awful. It took them about an hr to get us our cold, burnt food. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

    My family and I were reading the reviews and visiting Rosenberg, we had to try it out! Unfortunately, we had a different experience when coming here in comparison to the last few reviews. I really hate to leave anything less than a 4 star, but I'm going off of my experience. There was only 3 other tables seated when we came in and most were already eating. We were very excited as the food looked great. I ordered the chicken BLT wrap, my mom ordered the regular BLT and my dad ordered the hot pastrami sandwich. I decided to get the side house with honey mustard, my dad ordered the Cesar salad and my mom got their home style fries. We waited on our sandwiches for over 40 minutes. Alas, our food finally comes! Although, my chicken was very burnt and dry. Their honey mustard was just not good. I couldn't eat the entire thing. My mom's BLT had bacon that was just only soggy fat and the fries were super soggy. My dad liked the Cesar salad but said the jalapeño aoli tasted like thousand island. Almost sweet! Altogether, we were super disappointed by our lunch we were so looking forward to. The place is all around an awesome vibe. Located walking distance from the railroad museum. This place definitely has a great wholesome feel with awesome character. I just wish the food matched.

    I was amazed from walking in the door. The cafe was freshly remodeled. The food was amazing

    Hobo burger

    If you're looking for a seriously good burger, the 819 Burger is an absolute must-try. It's hands down one of the best burgers I've had in a verrrrrry long time. The flavor, the quality, and the way everything comes together is just perfect. Everything was fresh, juicy, and cooked exactly right, and the burger has the perfect spicy kick that takes the flavor to the next level without being overpowering. From the first bite you can tell this isn't just any burger -- it's the kind you keep thinking about after you leave. My family member tried the Hobo Burger, and it was just as impressive. Both burgers were huge and super filling, definitely worth it. Definitely a spot I'll travel back from Austin to have! Highly recommend if you're a true burger lover!

It was busy on a Sunday for breakfast. I got a few breakfast tacos and some menudo to try. The breakfast tacos were gigantic, on soft and fluffy handmade tortillas. They were filled to the brim. I got a Gerald, mexican eggs and bacon, a bacon, egg, and potato, and 1 barbacoa. They were all delicious and the salsas were so good. I am not a big menudo fan but theirs is tasty, rich, loaded with tripe, hominy, and the broth was red from the chilis. I also tried some of the pancakes, so warm fluffy and delicious. The service was polite and nice, ambiance - you can spend hours reading everything on the walls. If you're in the area, come here for breakfast!

It is known for its chicken salad, and as a big chicken salad fan... I honestly didn't think it lived up to the hype. Sorry. It was good but it didn't blow me away as the best chicken salad I've ever had. Nonetheless, I had it with my "Ann's Plate" which is a scoop of chicken salad, fruit salad, and a cup of soup. Its just enough food to get you full, but light enough to not make you FEEL too full. However, that cold avocado soup-- wasn't great. I wanted to like it because it was 100 degrees out and figured on a hot day, it would be cool and refreshing. I think that was the idea behind it but the execution wasn't there. Service-wise, no problems there. The staff is friendly and works really hard, since this place is pretty busy and popular at all times of the day, at seems! Definitely a neighborhood favorite and the locals love it.

It was self seating but the way the rooms are split up, we weren't 100% sure where we were allowed to sit and no one was in the front greeting anyone as they come in so you couldn't really ask questions unless you go to the bar first which was located towards the back. The tables were all dirty so we picked the least dirty table which still had crumbs all over it but we just tried to wipe them away as best as we could. The customers who came in after us picked the table next to us which was dirty as well but their server went and wiped it down for them which was nice. Our server was kind and answered all of our questions and we did inform her it was our first time so she suggested a few appetizers and we started with French Onion Dip. It was TO DIE FOR! The tortilla chips it comes with were perfectly crisped and salted and it hit all the right flavors. The food? Oh my word. The servings are MASSIVE. My husband ordered the Philly cheese steak with a side of onion rings and it did not disappoint! I ordered the chicken Cobb salad with a side of their Brussel sprouts. The chicken Cobb salad came with two small scoops of chicken salad and it was so light and refreshing and nothing like any other chicken salad I've ever had! Our server brought me a little bit of Parmesan cheese to top off the Brussel sprouts with and it was so good. All in all, the food was a hit! I wish I remembered to try the broccoli and cheese soup so we will be back in the future. Definitely recommend. We don't understand how Sandy McGee's only has a 3.7 rating after trying this spot out!
