    Came on a weekday morning and ordered the half Benedict, which was the perfect portion for an early meal. I have previously had their avocado Benedict and selfishly wish they offered a half portion of that as well. Overall, food was good, service was courteous, and parking is available in the garage. On weekends I don't doubt it can be very busy.

    Signature Pancake Flight

    I decided to treat myself today after sleeping in late so I ordered the signature pancake flight and a green drink cause I felt I was feeling a little run down. The pancakes were delicious. But from the moment I picked up this to-go order I was extremely disappointed at how tiny the cup of green juice was compared to the photo in the website. It cost $5.50 and I expected a cup the size of the photo! That's why I knocked off points. The staff inside was friendly and the atmosphere was nice, with a dog friendly patio.

    Hubby and I are huge fans of a delightfully boozy brunch, so it's about time that we hit up Snooze! I honestly don't know why it's taken us so long. We absolutely love Sundays for the brunch options (Jack Allen's is a fave) but, here, it's boozy brunch every day, right? Sign us up! This place is cute, y'all! Very busy 50's vibe, and it is PACKED, so we're clearly not the only boozy Saturday brunch fans! LOL! For those boozy drinks, I'm opting for the Choice Mimosa with grapefruit, and Hubby's getting the Boozy Blackberry Mint Limeade with vodka. Both are delish! Definitely fresh fruit juice! Love it! For meals, I got the Garden Harvest Omelet with a side of Bacon But Different to balance out the health. LOL! It was utterly delicious, y'all! The bacon was stupidly good, and, together with the gorgeously fresh omelette, it was quite literally the perfect balance. It'll be my go to! Hubby got the Corned Beef Hash with tortillas. It blew him away! He called it "really exceptional" with crunch, savoriness, corned beef deliciousness! He'd order it again in a heartbeat! We decided to end with the pancake flight because...why not? This was the perfect ending! There aren't even words for how insanely yummy these were! All in all, this place is awesome! Adding it to our culinary Rolodex, for sure! We'll probably hit up the Whitestone location next, just for kicks! Thanks, Snooze!

    THE go-to brunch spot with the girls. charming retro interior, the fluffiest coma-inducing pancakes, beautifully crafted bowls, and amazing service! really appreciate the variety of the menu since breakfast/brunch places usually have the same egg toast and sausage combos. they also have lots of healthier choices and super cute seasonal items that keeps the selection fresh :)

    Yogurt + Peanut Butter Toast ($11)
    Kate Z.

    Solid brunch place in Austin. Sure, it's a bit pricey, but that's normal at a place like this. It has something for everyone, from a selection of benedicts to pancakes to a bowl of greens. Food: I got yogurt and peanut butter toast for $11. I found it a strange combo, but the yogurt was great! The toast was a bit tough though. Don't get the fried rice here, but go for the egg benedicts! ‍ Service: Friendly staff and usual time to bring the food out. Ambiance: Free parking garage next door, open seating, but a bit chilly inside. I'll be return some day!

    I really like how this place has something for everyone . The menu perfect for some one that has diet restrictions . The atmosphere is very laid back . Fast service you can get on the wait list before your at the restaurant . I would maybe get on the wait list when you get up on the weekend snooze is a great brunch hangout place ! Love it

    According to a friend I needed too put this on my foodie list. So I finally did!! Before I get into my review let me say that everyone taste buds are different. The service was fast and friendly and personable. The ambiance of this place is a momodern casual vibe and casual styling and decor. I ordered the Shrimp & Grits & one pancake and coffee. I'm a big pancake guy, so I'm very critical of pancakes, meaning temperature of pancake, size of pancake and taste of pancake and cost. The cost of 1 pancake cost me 6.99, which was over priced too me. The taste was plain and nothing separated itself from any other restaurant pancakes. The temperature didn't melt the butter . Shrimp & Grits... I think that my gustatory cells didn't agree with this dish because it lacked that southern zest & seasoning. If I were up North maybe this dish would have hit different. Over all it was a nice place too visit and a new experience . I would visit again.

    Protein Trio Omelet*, excellent!
    Mary L.

    Snooze continues to serve up a great brunch. I tried a new item today-- the Protein Trio omelette--and it is excellent. It's a big 3-egg omelette with very generous amounts of bacon, sausage, and ham, cooked perfectly. I asked for well-done crispy hash browns and they did them just right. My companion had her favorite Corned Beef Hash. She says it's the best around, and the serving size was more than generous. My only complaint is how LOUD this place is. Midday Sunday is going to be busy at any popular place, but something about the acoustics of snooze makes the noise bounce around in an especially rackety way. Obviously I need to come here during the week, then it would be perfect.

    I like the one in Cedar Park better but this one was fine. The customer service is good.

    Gluten Free Friendly Signature Pancake Flight , Bacon But Different, Hash Browns

    Amazing!! The gluten free options are amazing and the portion sizes are huge which if you're gluten free you know that's rare. They ask about allergies too and take the precautions to make your food safe I didn't have a reaction. Our waiter was amazing very nice and kept checking on us. The music and vibe is super cute inside. The only complaint is the long wait but it's worth it for the food . Will be going back!

    I always enjoy the place. The service,the food and the atmosphere are always great. I was able to was right in with no wait on a Thursday morning. The shrimp and grits are one of a kind.

    Egg-cellent Adventure at Snooze - Austin Edition Okay, so imagine waking up in Austin, slightly groggy, craving something that'll make your taste buds do a little two-step. Enter: Snooze. This place is not your average breakfast joint--it's like brunch on a magic carpet ride. Let's talk about the real MVP: Eggs Benedict. But hold on--this isn't just one Benedict, oh no. It's a choose-your-own-Benny adventure! I felt like a kid at a brunch buffet birthday party. Wanna mix a classic with a spicy Barbacoa Benny? Do it. Feeling fancy with lox and avocado? Go wild. You can even mix and match two different Benedicts on one plate, which should honestly be illegal because it's too good. And the staff? HILARIOUS. Like, sitcom-level funny. Our server cracked jokes like they moonlight at a comedy club--and still managed to remember every weird little substitution at the table. It was like being served by your funniest friend who also happens to be a brunch wizard. 10/10 would snooze again--but only if it means waking up at Snooze. Brilliant Dinning

    Hash Browns
    James K.

    I came here for breakfast and enjoyed it. I was able to get seated immediately and without a reservation, which was nice. Their location was solid. The shrimp and grits were money!! Hashbrowns were okay. And Kenya did a great job taking care of me. I would eat here again for sure. Well done Snooze team!!

I usually only go to coffee shops to work, but today, went on a coffee date with my dog instead. There's ground floor parking in the garage that's complimentary for two hours. I kept it simple with a vanilla latte. I noticed they had tacos at the bottom of the food menu, but at $13.25 for two tacos + an a la carte item, I decided to pass. Maybe my expectations were too high (as usual) because it's inside a hotel, but I was hoping for the kind of warm hospitality hotels are known for, but instead, the service felt a bit cold. It didn't exactly make me want to spend more money there. While sitting on the patio, I spotted the food truck outside and thought, "PERFECT. A food truck HAS to be cheaper. Take that Simona's!" I walked up to the window... only to find out it wasn't actually a separate food truck. It was just the pickup window. To order? I had to go back inside to Simona's and place my order with the delightful staff... I ended up ordering two Blue Migas tacos, and honestly, they were just... good, but nothing memorable. They tasted like your average breakfast tacos that you can find all over Austin for less. Despite loving how relaxing the outdoor patio is with its lucious greenery surrounding you and the beautiful French chairs and cafe tables, it's located right next to the hotel pool. If you're visiting on a summer afternoon, expect some extra noise with pool guests. If you're looking for a quiet coffee or a place to work, I'd recommend coming early in the morning instead.

Once we walked through Manny's, we were greeted right away and since we had a reservation, we were seated promptly. Quick heads up: cell phones aren't allowed inside -- they take your phone and give you a key to a locker where it's stored for the night. The idea is to keep everyone present and engaged with each other instead of their screens (they do make exceptions for emergencies or on-call situations, at the business's discretion). I actually love the reasoning behind it, even though I wished I had my phone to snap pictures of the inside! The space itself is dark and moody with major art deco Miami vibes, like something out of the 80s-90s. Think pink velvet draped everywhere, a life-size taxidermy leopard in the middle of the bar, and flamingo sculptures scattered throughout. It's gorgeous. There's plenty of seating between the booths/couches and the bar, and they seat you according to your party size. We got a plush half-circle booth with a table that fit all of us perfectly -- great sightlines too, so everyone could see and talk to each other easily. Each table gets an assigned server, and ours was fantastic. We ordered cocktails along with the yuca fries, empanadas, and quesadillas -- all delicious. I can't remember the name of my cocktail, but it was pink, gin-based, and so good, served in a beautiful tall stem glass.

I do not know what her issue was, but if you are tired and don't like staying up late, don't work in a bar. After saying that there was only standing room, I decided that I was not going to spend money in an establishment that speaks to people in such a disgusting way, so I proceeded to leave. One of the guys out front asked what was wrong and asked if he could buy us a drink, but at that point I decided that I would not spend a dime at this place. Just giving a heads up! Lady at the front is EXTREMELY rude. Looking at the other 1 star reviews, it looks like this place has a reputation for being discriminatory.

    We visited Prohibition ATX and loved our experience! Although it took us about 5 minutes to find…read morethe entrance, once we did, we were glad we made the effort. The atmosphere is very relaxed and cozy/fun. The bartenders were very helpful and the drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the old fashioned!

    I am a sucker for a speakeasy when it is done right. I love the idea of being somewhere that not…read moreeveryone knows about. It feels like an IYKYK atmosphere. Located off Anderson Mill in the corner of a strip mall is a bookshelf with a door on the right side. If you cannot figure out the entrance, there is a doorbell to ring as well. I believe it is owned by the same people who own The Mill bar right next door, which makes it feel like a cool bonus space. My friend and I sat next to a faux fireplace, where we were greeted by the only bartender working and placed our order. Once he opened the tab, it was disappointing that he never came back to check if we wanted another drink. It wasn't super busy on the Monday we went, but since he was the only one manning the bar, the bartender was always doing something, so I don't blame him fully for not checking back in with us. I ordered a drink called the Velvet Vice. It looked nothing like the picture and tasted similar to an Aviation cocktail with egg whites. I happened to really like it. It is a very relaxed space, but once the speakeasy gimmick wears off, it does not have much else going for it. It is still a cool place, but I am not sure it was worth the lengthy drive to get there.

College me would have lived here !! Enjoyed a French 75, my husband enjoyed a smoked Old Fashioned and it was a great place to grab a drink prior to seeing Springsteen at the Moody seated amongst candles , a weird alter of sorts while enjoying some Stevie Wonder as is playing now though some weird NIN or Type O might have been more appropriate

    I went to Whisler's and had one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had…read more I had one drink. I was completely sober for all intents and purposes. The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.
