    An amazing brunch! Was recommended to try Paperboy and I'm glad I did. If you come here, I suggest getting their Cinnamon Toast over their signature pancake. The toast had a great balance of crunch along with the whipped mascarpone which was perfect. I do think it's a bit sweet but there's more of a flavor profile compared to the pancake. Their chicken and biscuit was the star! Savory, sweet, the spicy honey...yeah! Overall, 9/10.

    Thank you to Hannah who made our last stop in Austin one to remember. From the recommendations to the hospitality, our brunch was one to remember because of Hannah. I had the classic breakfast but subbed the wedges either the cheddar hash browns and the toast with a regular pancake. Not going to lie when Hannah was describing the pancake, I was a bit skeptical but decided to try it and don't regret it at all! Let this be your sign to come here. Next time I'm in Austin, I'm coming back.

    If you're looking for a breakfast that feels a bit more elevated than your standard diner, this is the spot. Their menu features some truly elegant and unique options. I tried the Migas, and the texture was spot on--the mix of eggs, fresh corn tortillas, pico de gallo, and cheese was delicious. It stays packed here..Even on a Friday, it was buzzing. Expect a wait, though I managed to snag a spot at the bar pretty quickly. There is a small lot upfront, but don't panic if it's full--there is additional parking in the back alley. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive despite how busy they are. The coffee was just "okay," but the fresh food and great service make it well worth the price and the visit.

    Came here without a reservation because we heard so many good things about it during our trip. When we arrived and put our name down, there were two hosts at the front. one told us it would be an hour and 40 minutes, and another immediately said 2 hrs. Since it was a popular spot, we said yes and decided to wait. An hour and 20 gone by, and we were 2nd in line. We checked in to see how much longer it would be since the line seemed to be moving faster than expected. Even the people who arrived after us were seated already. They told us 40 more minutes, which honestly made no sense. Next thing you know, we were called 5 minutes after walking out. We were seated outdoors in a corner directly IN THE SUN while everyone else was in the shade. There were open tables in the shade, but yet we were still seated there. At that point, it started to feel intentional. No one checked on us, and we had to flag staff down just to order. By then, we just wanted to eat and leave. We ordered the chicken and biscuit and pancake. The chicken was juicy and the biscuit was a little dry. Pancake was super doughy. Overall, would I come back? Probably not, especially considering the staff's behavior and long wait.

    Amazing food, horrendous waitlist system. You have to go there to put your name down, and they were unable to accommodate our table of 6 so we had to split 3 and 3, but our second party of 3 wasn't seated until an hour after our first party. Service was slow but I hate to admit, the food was so delicious. The blueberry pancake was probably the best I've had. The steak and eggs were just standard, but the B.E.C (bacon egg and cheese) burger was so flavorful. Not sure if I'd return unless they fix the waitlist system. Also be aware if you are sitting upstairs, lots of birds fly around and onto the tables.

    I've heard great things about this place and was so excited to get a reservation for the weekend, but was a little disappointed by my own expectations of the brunch experience. The food was good, but didn't wow me. I wished they had more on their menu. Service was really good, and the food came out pretty quickly. I also liked that they end your meal with house made rice crispy treats, which were phenomenal.

    Steak & Egg
    Robert C.

    Wonderful place. We went in as a two too and were seated in the roof no problem. Our server Justin was amazing. Had just black coffee and it was very good. The steak and eggs were perfect. The steak was so tender and cooking to perfection. Eggs were exactly sunny side up. The sauce for the potato edges was incredible. Great visit and I will be going back.

    Lox with red beets.
    Elizabeth R.

    Great, upbeat atmosphere. Wonderful Service. The menu is limited, which I appreciate because they strive for great quality. I had the 2 egg breakfast and my husband had the lox. Both were excellent. Be sure to try the cheddar has brown!

    I already can't wait to go back! We went for brunch and it was SO tasty. We went without a reservation and it was super busy but they said it would be 40 minutes and we probably only waited 20 minutes. We just walked around because the area is super cute with vintage shops and other restaurants. There are indoor and outdoor seating options. We chose to sit indoors which had an open kitchen concept which I always enjoy. My rating of my meals are below. Chicken and waffles - 10/10, the crispy skin and moist chicken with a spicy honey was insanely good. I was sharing with my husband but I didn't really want to give him any after tasting it ha. The gravy and the spicy honey flavors all work so well together. B.e.c. - 10/10, a fun play on your standard bacon egg and cheese sandwich but using smoked bacon, pimiento cheese, and egg. I really liked the jalapeño jam on this if have the perfect level of heat. The arugula was also a nice add to it and the crispy potatoes on the side were perfectly cooked. At the end of the meal, they give a homemade Rice Krispie treat which was a nice finishing touch! A great experience and definitely recommend to bring friends here who are visiting for a superior brunch option in Austin.

    Paperboy is so well known for a reason. It's just damn good. Definitely need a reservation but their food is just so good. We went there for brunch, food was great, the restaurant was really nice, good vibes and the service was great!

    Classic breakfast
    Elodie T.

    Paperboy is such a nice brunch restaurant!! My sister and I were in town and after reading the reviews, we decided to head there early. Even arriving at 10:30am, there was a wait of 45min-1 hour (based on my text messages, we actually waited exactly 45 min - 10:33-11:18) and by the time we left, people were being quoted 1.5 hours. Definitely arrive early! I do love that you're able to buy drinks outside, but my sister and I opted to go to Take Heart a block down, which is a nicely curated shop with home goods, kitchenware, and artsy items. I want to give a special shout out to Brittany C, our server, who was very friendly and gave us really good recommendations for menu items. She also learned that we were coming from out of town and this was our first time here and got us a complimentary cinnamon toast! She told us that this was their oldest menu item and they are known for it and honestly??? That was the best thing I had all day. That cinnamon toast was delicious! I'm all about textures and I loved the crunch of the toppings. You have to order this because it's so worth it. We ordered: Earl grey cold brew: loved it - great tea and coffee flavors that blended nicely. Texas Hash & Classic Breakfast: these portions are huge!! You really can't go wrong with either item - the flavors packed a punch. My memory is a little hazier a month later (the cinnamon toast stood out more to me) but I remember we both liked our dishes. I'm not sure that I would add the avocado again though. Whenever I visit Austin I would definitely come again. Fantastic food and fantastic service!

    Fabulous brunch spot in Austin. And I think this was the best pancake I've ever eaten in my life!! So fluffy and perfect with crispy edges and blueberries, and the salted butter on top brought it to the next level. The space is small but well-designed and staff are friendly. Would recommend!!

    Harrison C.

    This is such a nice place to go for brunch! I had the best bacon I think I've ever had out! It was so crispy and delicious! The pancake was so thick but had a lovely crust. It was so decadent and delicious! The matcha was perfect and the staff was so friendly! Couldn't recommend more!

One of those menus where you immediately want to order more just to try everything. The atmosphere is also part of what makes it special.

We added lavender to mine and a little brown sugar flavor to hers. Good stuff! Turkish egg? Yep, exactly what I was thinking. What in the world is that. I don't know if it was a traditional dish but what an explosion of flavor. Put it all together on a perfectly toasted piece of bread and bam! Perfect accompaniment to a perfect brunch. Last but not least the Salmon Gravlax. Looks simple but by no means did it taste simple. Caviar on a buttery spread. Spicy pickles, perfectly cooked egg, seasoned tomatoes, rye bread. None of these are special in themselves but when combined, yes! Amazingness! Oh and the service? Wonderful! Attentive, kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. Space? Super cute! Felt like we were in a vacation town somewhere in Florida. Very retro, cool. Loved everything about this place. Zero complaints. Millions of compliments. Highly recommend!

It was nice having the fake grass and picnic tables in the outdoor areas because it really added to the vibe while still being well shaded throughout. The food was good. During the game we shared the Fried Pickles, which were crispy and well breaded with good pickle chips, as well as their Green Chili Queso, which was also excellent. The chips had good seasoning and the queso was thick. For a main entrée, I ordered the patty melt. It was melty with good flavor, but I would have preferred chopped onions over sliced onions. The Sriracha mayo was great and added a kick I was not expecting. The drinks were decently priced for East 6th all things considered. I was not drinking that night and ordered a mocktail variation of their Lavender Haze using zero proof Empress gin instead of the regular Empress gin. They still charged the same price, which felt a little unfair, but it is what it is. Overall, it was a great experience and a solid bar for games.
