    Breakfast Taco Plate
    Alexia M.

    I really wanted to love this place--and in many ways, I did. As a restaurant that is 100% gluten free, the menu was honestly a dream. There were so many options, from gluten-free French toast to burgers, and as someone on a strict medical diet, I was genuinely thrilled to be able to order freely without stress. Even the little details impressed me, like their house-made, sugar-free ketchup. I ordered the hot honey fried chicken sandwich, which was also dairy free, and my mom ordered a burger. Flavor-wise, everything else on the plate worked, but unfortunately we were both disappointed in the bread. It just didn't hold up well and took away from what could have been a really great sandwich experience for both of us. That said, the smash potatoes were excellent--crispy, flavorful, and definitely a highlight of the meal. Overall, I truly appreciate what this restaurant is doing for the gluten-free community, and the variety alone makes it worth visiting. With a little improvement to the bread, this place could easily be a standout for people with dietary restrictions.

    Grass Fed Burger
    Felicia C.

    I was excited to try Picnik because of its intriguing claims--gluten-free, seed oil-free, and refined sugar-free. Grass-Fed Burger, expecting something great, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The bun was brittle and crumbled in my mouth, making it hard to enjoy. There was no sauce on the burger, which left it tasting pretty bland. For the price, I expected a bit more in terms of flavor and portion size. I got a side of Brussels sprouts with my burger, and while they were tasty, they were also pretty oily. Overall, the meal was filling, but I couldn't help but wish I had ordered something else--my friend got a salad, and surprisingly, it tasted way better than my burger! Crazy, right? Picnik has a cool concept, but for the price, I was hoping for a more satisfying meal.

    THE BIG: Located in the Rosedale neighborhood of Central Austin. Right next to the Pinthouse Pizza. Long, beautifully decorated interior with outdoor eating space. Limited parking up front and parking lot in the back. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here on a date night and the entire shopping center was packed. Fortunately we were able to snag a parking spot and get ourselves on the wait list. It was 7pm when we came in and was pretty crowded. When we sat down and ate, it was around 8pm and the place was dead. We ordered the crispy brussel sprouts as an app and then the hot chicken sandwich and steak tacos. The crispy sprouts came out super late where the manager was kind to comp it, but the portion was tiny. I think the side size is bigger. The other entrees were alright, nothing to brag home about. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done for an app and two entrees came out to be around $40. Service was quite slow and the portions didn't justify the long wait times.

    Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich

    Brought my pups out for lunch and sat on their covered back patio. They also have some outdoor seating at the front. Service was great. The food here is soooo yummy! My hot chicken sandwich had bread that tasted like a biscuit yet was like a sesame bun. The cucumber salad was a great compliment. Had an iced pumpkin coffee that was super tasty, just a bit heavy on the spice so it was kind of hard to drink without coughing. Beer came in a can which was a bummer for me. Would definitely come back!

    Met some friends for breakfast here this past Saturday for one of their birthdays. We made a res but it wasn't that crowded when we got there so we were fortunate to get a convenient parking spot. It started filling up when we were leaving mid morn. We all ordered their Harvest Hash with some mods like dressing on the side. My friends got coffees with less or no syrup/sweet added and a yummy looking biscuit I wish I could have tried but I'm watching carbs and dairy. Our waitress was very helpful and informative. I've been to this restaurant before but it had been some time so it was good to be reminded of it as a good brunch/breakfast option.

    I have been following Picnik for YEARS. Online. I was so happy to be able to make the drive on a recent work trip to finally to it out. First of all, I wanted to try everything. To find a restaurant that is gluten free and doesn't use rancid oils to cook food in is an absolute joy. Let me just say, this was everything I've been hoping for the past 12'ish years! The hostess was nice and seated me right away. I was near the pass so I go to see all of the yummy food as it came out. I opted for the Picnik Palmer and the chicken sandwich. I was so happy to see a GF fried chicken sandwich! The bun was great.... It didn't fall apart as so many GF buns do. The smashed potatoes were tasty. The Palmer was refreshing. My server was great. He explained that it was the first day for the new menu and he may not know it all yet. No problem. The restaurant itself was bright and airy. Very chill. I'm sure I'll be back on another work trip to try all the other amazing foods!

    Chopped Salad

    Amazing lunch. I got the crispy chicken salad and it was fantastic. A friend recommended the place and after scoping it out on Yelp I pulled the trigger. The coffee was very good as well and the staff was super friendly and attentive.

    The staff was super duper friendly, and accommodating to my groups dietary restrictions, the entire menu is gluten free which is amazing and you can't even tell when eating it! I got the eggs Benedict and it was so delicious. I also got the butter latte with vanilla and it was just what I needed the morning after a night out. We were sat out on the patio and it was a gorgeous day that really was the cherry on the cake for the whole dining experience.

    Since I'm going through some health issues right now, I've been looking for healthier restaurant options. When I saw this place on the My Health Forward website, I knew I had to try it. They're gluten-free and don't cook with seed oils, which is a big plus for me. I have to say, this is one of the few places I've eaten where I didn't feel heavy or bloated afterward--I just felt satisfied. I ordered the Farmhouse Breakfast, and it was hearty! I substituted the bacon with their chicken and the toast with their biscuit. Everything in the meal was delicious, but the smashed potatoes absolutely blew my mind. I definitely need to try their loaded smashed potatoes next time because if the plain ones were that good, I can only imagine how amazing the loaded ones will be! My husband got the Hot Chicken Breakfast Sandwich, and he really enjoyed it. We also tried the blueberry pancakes, which were okay--a little on the bland side. I didn't try the elixirs this time around, but I definitely plan to next time. I loved how light and satisfying this place was overall. Service was great and so was ambience.

    Hot Chicken Breakfast Sandwich
    Kaylie M.

    Amazing food! Everything here is gluten free but you would never guess! We got the biscuit appetizer and the butter and jam with it was amazing, 10/10! The brussel sprouts were also so good I didn't even get a picture before they were gone! I unfortunately had a piece of plastic in my food, but they were amazing and super nice about it. They remade my dish and then comped our entire table for our meals and gave us free brownies! Accidents happen and we all really appreciated the lengths they went to ensure we still had an enjoyable time! Thank you to the team over there! Will definitely be back the next time I'm in Austin!

    Set up of our table
    Jeff B.

    I have been wanting to stop by here for awhile. So today, while out walking I stopped by for breakfast. Upon entering I could see it was modern in the dining area, with the kitchen in view, depending on your seat. There are both indoor and outdoor seating. There are no booths, but low and high tables. There are pictures if food hung on the walls throughout the restaurant. Our server, Syreeta came to our table shortly after we were seated. She explained that Picnik dishes are made at the restaurant. She provided us menus and explained any questions we had. She also asked if we had any food allergies. She then gave us a few minutes to decide on what to order. The food was gluten, peanut and refined sugar free. I ordered the Farmhouse Breakfast. My eggs were over medium, with sugar free crisp bacon, potatoes, and toast. The food was delicious overall, perhaps a little salty for my taste but not too bad. So if you don't like salty, them perhaps ask them to hold it and you put it on yourself. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the meal. To note: I tried coming here before, but I didn't have reservations and it was full. This time I was early and didn't need to have them. Thank you Picnik for having healthier options to eat!

    Inside seating
    Francis C.

    Going to be so honest... I will not be coming here again. It's a cute restaurant with lots of seating but very overpriced with a unique "interesting" menu. The food we got was OK, the best part was the side of potatoes. The service also wasn't great, our server never came to the table to check up on us, didn't explain the menu very well and just seemed uninterested in being there. I came for brunch so it might be different for dinner.... But there was also very little parking and the restaurant was loud.

    I'm looking to get catering for a baby shower for 12 people on Feb 12 in Austin. We're looking for healthy finger foods. Could you message me cost and potential menu? Thanks for your help.?

    Are there brunch specials, ie mimosas?

    I have been there for Sunday brunch and they had drink specials, but they were specialty drinks that day, not mimosas. I had a ginger berry concoction and it was good.

    Are there any low carb/keto friendly options available?

    I was on keto and for brunch the answer is a firm no unless you ask for breakfast tacos without tortilla. For dinner, you have options: all salads, chicken tenders, brussel sprouts appetizer, loaded guac appetizer, chicken thigh entre and tumeric… 

    Dog friendly patio?

    Sure is! We are very dog-friendly here at Picnik :)

But by the time my friend arrived about 1:10 the line had disappeared and the crowd was quickly thinning out. I had the farmhouse club and my friend went with a salad (I forget which one). My sandwich was absolutely delicious and I cleaned it up. His salad was enormous and he couldn't finish it. He had enough leftover to take home for another meal. Neither came with a side but they are available for purchase. The restaurant is bright and cheerful inside with plenty of seating. And the staff are very friendly and eager to assist throughout the meal. The only downside is their prices being a little high for the type of setting so one star off.

I've been for both lunch and dinner, and lunch is clearly the peak time, which makes sense given the sandwich, salad, and soup menu. It feels built for the midday lunch crowd. The kitchen runs very efficiently, the line moves quickly, and online ordering is very easy. It's counter service, but I've taken meals to go a few times and everything traveled well. As of February 2026, it still has that brand new restaurant feel. The interior is bright, clean, and modern, and there's a ton of outdoor seating. However, you are just off 38th Street and across from the Seton medical complex, so al fresco dining may not be the quietest experience depending on traffic and time of day. Overall, a great addition to the area for lunch (or dinner).

    Oh my sweet, sweet Sweetgreen…read more I've always loved their salads and have recently become obsessed with their wraps. Their caesar salad wrap to be specific. Everytime I order from a Sweetgreen the veggies are fresh and the portion size vs. the price is fair. I can usually get two meals out of one order. I want to give major kudos to this location specifically because I accidentally left my wallet while visiting on a Saturday afternoon. After not being able to find my wallet thinking it was in my house somewhere I decided to stop by the Union Market Sweetgreen location to check on Monday. After about 5 minutes of waiting the manager came over to bring me my wallet. Yay! All of my belongings were still in it. I'm grateful for them holding onto my items. I look forward to visiting this location more often especially because they have a lot of seating. And side note, be sure to download their apps.

While it is mostly a takeout, the people working there were on point with service, even holding the door open for me.

The food did take about 20 minutes to come out- I wasn't going to complain as there was a line of people the whole time so I could tell it was busy, but when I did get my food they apologized for the wait and gave me some free baklava so even if there had been hard feelings that would have 100% fixed it lol I'm a huge baklava fan and had actually been considering adding some onto my order but didn't because of the long line! So service was great, but most importantly- the food! The kibbe wrap was huge; I managed to finish the whole thing but in two different sittings lol. The kibbe was generous, and the pieces were flavorful and juicy. The veggies were fresh and crisp, and the whole thing was lightly sauced but the flavor of the kibbe popped enough that I didn't think it needed more sauce. Delicious and I would 100% order again. Plus the (free!) baklava was top notch! Sometimes you get the ones where the filo dough is a little tough/chewy and it still tastes great but the texture isn't there- not with this baklava! It was tender, delicious, and a perfect end to the meal. Parking was limited on the street but I believe the Triangle has garages also- I was able to snag a short term parking spot for MezzeMe which is actually why I originally decided to check it out!

While we're glad you joined us, I'm sorry to hear your breakfast experience didn't meet expectations. We'll be reviewing your comments with our culinary team to improve consistency. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We had absolutely no complaints regarding our dining experience. Caroline is affiliated with the Marriott Element and Aloft hotels and that, I believe, where the affiliation ends. I try to avoid hotel eateries but I've had great dining experiences at hotels like the JW Marriott in Austin. We, four, stopped by on a Sunday AM for breakfast and we had a great time. They do have brunch cocktails available and their bloody Mary's were deemed excellent with just the right amount of spice. My bloody Maria was on point and we all got our Sunday Funday started. Breakfast was wonderful. Our eggs arrived cooked perfectly. The pepper bacon and real potato sides were off the charts delicious. They also offer a few TexMex breakfast options and Plus one was raving about her Huevos Rancheros plate. Service was excellent even though they became busy our server was very attentive. Pro tip: Sat and Sun AMs if you arrive early you can easily score a table.
