Visited at the recommendation of a friend who is an Austin local. Fantastic all around! Comfortable, covered outdoor seating complimented by fans for hot TX days. Super attentive servers who know the menu and gave great recommendations. Shared the riccota toast and a pancake for the table (coffee was great.) Migas with pork carnitas was amazing! I'll go back for more every time I visit Austin. read more

Paperboy was recommended to us by a local Michelin chef so we HAD to try it. A perfect breakfast with great vibes, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and a great menu! My husband and I also both enjoyed the earl gray cold brew (not pictured) read more

Great menu get there early or you may have to wait but worth it! And the outside eating area is a must although the seating at the bar was spacious! read more

The vibes of this place is great. They've done a great job with the space. The only downside is that its view is of the road, but there isn't much to be done with that. The restaurant is a part of an apartment building complex and there is parking in the garage below the restaurant. The system wasn't running yet so we didn't have to pay for parking at the end of June when I went. I asked if it will be validated in the future but they weren't sure yet. I highly recommend it. I met up with a friend for coffee on a weekday. They accommodated my toddler by providing a high chair and water in a cup with a straw. We tried the pop tart and the ham and cheese empanada. Both were good, the empanada was a little burnt on the outside but the inside was flavorful. The pop tart was homemade and not overly sweet. My friend lives nearby and has been to that location multiple times. She loves the menu and loves that its easy to pop in for coffee. I'll be back (if they validate) when I'm in the area! read more

My hash bowl was so good, the flavors paired with the mimosa was so good. The pancake was good but seemed to have a bland flavor without the chocolate chips and syrup. The lost and found mocktail was delicious as well. Made reservations so seating was no problem, they were busy but food came out in a timely manner. The vibe is chill and was very happy with the service as well. Would come again! read more

Party of 5. Service was very rough. Got charged auto gratuity. Not ideal. Wish I went to Starbucks instead.

Service was terrific, food was just okay. Asked for soft-scrambled eggs and they were hard-cooked. The Paperboy pancake is interesting, but there's nothing in the menu description to indicate that it's more of a Dutch baby or clafoutis than a regular pancake. Not sure the iced tea was fresh. Maybe other parts of the menu are a better choice. We were on the dog-friendly patio, which was unbelievably noisy between the Lamar traffic and ongoing construction right next to the restaurant. So not a great pick if you want to chat with your companions over a meal. The restaurant obvs has a devoted following, so this was only our experience. read more

Had brunch today for an early Father's Day celebration. My wife, myself, and our 3 kiddos. Had such a wonderful experience! Glad we made reservations. They were out of all the shareable except for the blueberry lemon roll (which we ordered and it was a hit for the whole family). Our kids shared two paperboy blueberry pancakes (made it a breakfast which added 2 eggs with bacon or sausage). Wifey and I ate the Chicken & Biscuit each. Everything was so flavorful and absolutely hit the spot! Thanks for a memorable meal with my family!! We'll be back for special occasions! read more

I went there on a Sunday, early afternoon. The wait time wasn't too bad unless you want to sit at the bar. The drip coffee was too strong for my taste. I had the classic breakfast. The sausage patty tastes better at McDonalds. The potatoes had too much paprika. The eggs and toast were the best thing on my plate which isn't saying too much. My friend had the pancakes with bacon. The pancake had good flavor but really thick. The bacon was bacon. Our bill was $60 and adding tip we were over $70. All this for below average food. I guess expected better for that price. I will not be going back to this establishment read more

The service was wonderful. Made reservations for breakfast to celebrate our 1 year anniversary and they went above and beyond to make us feel special. Food was amazing as always. Thank you for making our day! read more

Paper Boy is an absolute gem! The food was amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our waitress, Quinn, was fantastic -- super attentive and friendly. She even surprised us with a complimentary appetizer since it was our first visit! The service and atmosphere made the whole experience feel special. Definitely a must-visit -- we'll be back soon! read more

This place is a mess! First off, there's no parking. I found a garage nearby. Instead of just giving a small amount of money to park, i had to scan a QR code, setup an account, give a whole bunch of personal information. I don't even know what I was charged to park. They could have charged $100. I wouldn't know. I finally get to the very crowded and incredibly loud restaurant. I had a business lunch here with 2 other people on a Friday . We put our names in. 45 minute wait. We waited 1 hour before we decided to just walk somewhere else for lunch. Nobody ever texted us about sitting down at a table. A complete waste of 1 hour. read more

Got to visit the new Paperboy location when I was in town for ACL. Pro tip: have your uber drop you at PB South, have a killer lunch, then walk to Zilker. The service was so personable and made great suggestions when we were stuck on what to order. Kale salad is one of the best I've had in town (who knew a salad could be so memorable). The vibes are so great on the patio but inside is beautifully decorated. The ambiance really makes you feel like you're in a classic diner but with a fancy step up. Loved the open kitchen (like their east side location) and counter seats at the bar. Such a fun vibe. read more

Nice people. Strong espresso. Very fast service for the espresso. No waiting. This was a Thursday morning.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. All of food was good and well priced for what you got. The hash was extra delicious. I wasn't able to try their cocktails but want to go back to try some of their breaks fast cocktails! Recommend going! read more

First of all, great atmosphere and staff, however the 2 $$ is a little misleading since breakfast for 4 cost $130. Even more for a party of 5+, you get an added 20% automatic gratuity. Food is overwhelmingly over hyped, Came out lukewarm and they didn't want to take it back to heat up because I touched it already, valid but still cmon I don't want cold food yk. The chicken and biscuits was lukewarm, chicken was fantastic, but the gravy was mid. The ricotta toast was spicy, Texas hash was great, read more

The staff offered the warmth of flying economy on Frontier. The oatmeal tasted like the smell of a pretentious candle. A return to basics in flavor and warmth of staff would be a welcome change. read more

Great food, great ambience. Parking was a bit of a hassle but it was well worth it. We enjoyed our meals

This was good, but didn't blow us away. I have experienced the service at the front to be a bit cold/off-putting at both locations....kind of like you're bothering them by coming in for your reservation. Once seated, our server was friendly and attentive. My food did come out lukewarm verging on cold, and they replaced the meal entirely which was nice! Appreciate the free refills on coffee. The cinnamon toast is a good breakfast treat - everything else is good/high quality version of pretty standard breakfast fare. read more

Best brunch in Austin. You must make a reservation. Outdoor seating is shaded. Pancakes or made with a cast iron. Oj is freshly squeezed daily. If you have family in town, take them here. Great service, everything is freshly made as you order so it take about 5 more mins than usual for your food to come. Worth every penny. read more

I finally made a reservation to go to PaperBoy after years of saying I wanted to go, but never following through. I had heard really good things about it through my sister, so I was excited to make a reservation for my friend's birthday lunch. There was an option to leave a note on the reservation, so I mentioned her birthday and asked for a little card or something sweet. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the host with such kindness and warmth. There was a cute card at the table acknowledging her birthday, and the manager (I believe) came by with a complimentary Cinnamon Toast (which we had talked about sharing but they didn't know that). It looked like French Toast, but it has whipped mascarpone, pecans and cinnamon. Tasted like a cinnamon roll, just mouth watering. I will be dreaming of it for months. The sweet heart who gave us the toast stayed to chat for a minute and answer my questions, and was very friendly and kind. It made my friend feel very special and celebrated. Our waitress, Dannie, was a peach! Very attentive, very kind, and just great energy. The food was delicious, everything on the menu looks amazing, it was a very hard decision. I went with the Lox Plate (in Shareable's). Smoked salmon over a lemon pepper shmear, hibiscus pickled onions and roasted tomato. It came with Flax bread, which normally I would switch for something else, but I decided to stick with it because Dannie said it was really good, and she was right. I squeezed the fresh lime wedge they left on the plate over my salmon and my bread as well, and it leveled the plate uppppp. My friend had the Classic Breakfast and enjoyed it as well. We also had lattes, iced and hot, and both amazing! Just great food, great service, great vibes (they were playing 70's disco). I love writing good reviews because I don't very often. So thank you, PaperBoy! PSA they have two locations now, so check them out!! read more

Fantastic service, waiter was extremely cautious of a food allergy and calm and cozy vibe inside. The food itself was also delicious

This Paperboy location is just as phenomenal as the original! It has a laid back vibe, the staff is very friendly and welcoming, and it is one of the best brunch spots in Austin. The portions and quality of food is a great value for the price. I would highly recommend ordering some cold brew or a Paloma to drink. Additionally, the cheddar hash brown and chicken and biscuit are super flavorful and some of our favorite food options. We can't wait to frequent this place now that they opened one in our neighborhood! read more

Wow. Understated but pleasant spot with the tastiest brunch dishes I've had in a long time. The fried chicken and biscuit should not be missed. The chicken is breaded and seasoned to perfection (gravy is included but not needed). The biscuit does not disappoint. One member of our group had the gluten free apple muffin which she loved and the other had the steak breakfast which he really enjoyed. We all said we want to come back - soon. And yes, the service provided was upbeat, pleasant and led us to great choices. read more

Food was good nothing crazy. Very expensive for breakfast over a $120 with tip no alcohol. Ambiance was good and service.

Great service, vibe and food. The pancake and migas were really good. Appreciated the free dessert bites we got at the end as well!

This is a cute restaurant in an area of town loaded with apartments. We went there on a Sunday morning... very busy. Ordered side dishes of bacon and grits. Also ordered salmon and toast with cream cheese. The salmon was cured in a very strong lemon citrus that made it so flavored that it wasn't enjoyable. The cream cheese was also flavored with a Japanese spice that overwhelmed. A simple bagel, cream cheese, and smoked salmon would have been so much better. A side of grits was ok, but the portion was really small. Service was good. Visit was underwhelming. read more

The South Lamar restaurant has large outdoor space and interior looks great. The gluten free berry muffin is fresh and wonderful. Have has the sweet potato mole hash several times and never disappoints. Yogurt with granola and berries very rich - easy to share. Service was efficient and helpful - started w espresso martini, a citrus vodka drink and rose. read more

I have to agree with other reviews. The front staff is not great. First, the hostesses seemed confused but they told us to wait by the counter for our table (it was almost ready). Then within 30 seconds, some busboy snapped at us for waiting inside & TOLD us to go outside. He was rude, his tone was completely offensive. Excuse us, we were just doing what we were told! Sir, It's all in the attitude and delivery. There's no need to be like that.... read more

Strongly recommends this place. All the drinks and food we ordered are good. Definitely will come back again.

food is so try hard and not good. not worth the hyper. the hostess have the worst energy and so did all the waiters . rough place .
