Austin ChronicleFebruary 11, 2014A pioneer of the local locavore movement, Eastside Cafe has long been a byword for quality dining. The large herb and vegetable garden in back makes for fantastic fresh plates.
Alex InmanMarch 16, 2015This place has some seriously delicious fresh food! Love that they use stuff grown on site. Found this gem on Supper:- Austin ChronicleJune 18, 2013An Austin champion for organic produce, this Manor Road beauty serves an exquisite bounty of freshness, with dishes ranging from artichoke manicotti to beef and goat cheese enchiladas.
GourmetLiveMarch 17, 2011“Several of my all-time favorite pasta dishes come from East Side Café. I suggest the smoked salmon ravioli or any pasta special they have for the day.” says Tina Poe, of the Me and Mister Bee blog.
Geoff DuncanSeptember 7, 2012Fresh & Delicious food! One of our favorite dinner spots in Austin. Need I say more? You should also request Taylor as your server, she's awesome.
L. OcampoJune 14, 2011the wild mushroom crepes and smoked salmon ravioli are delicious with the garlic mashed potatoes on the side. the ham and cheese soup is really thick and creamy... great choice.
Joe NelsonMarch 22, 2013If you leave without eating the meatloaf, ask yourself why you even got out of bed this morning. DO IT!
Social News NetworkNovember 22, 2012The food here is always fresh and delicious but can be a little pricey. If you're pinching pennies grab a blue plate special or a bowl of soup.
Miko CoffeyJune 17, 2011Hands down, without doubt, the best place to eat in Austin. With all the veggies grown right out back, and amazing recipes to boot, you can't beat Eastside.
Nada AlshamiAugust 15, 2017They had a special when I went, it was a salmon and crab cake Benedict.. amazing!!!
Eric GlazerJanuary 27, 2014Not sure what to say other than all the tips posted re Meatloaf, pulled pork and the soup are spot on ... This place is aces
Eñchilada and bugers for the veggies. Amazing! Fries and pickles. Key lime has the best crust I've ever tasted.
Jairy GrisaffeSeptember 20, 2011Lots of great food from their onsite garden. Also, if the acorn squash is available, don't hesitate to get it. It's the cat's pajamas.
Amanda DonovanNovember 30, 2011Their artichoke mushroom soup was incredible. So creamy and well seasoned. In fact, everything I ate was incredible! I'll be back again soon!
Try the Roasted Meatloaf With Bacon Tomato Sauce And Broccoli With Lemon Butter - Excellent dish. The sauce makes it for sure!!!
Bon Appetit MagazineMarch 9, 2010The farm is literally a step from the table at this longtime favorite. Choose a spot in the garden room near the new henhouse, which provides eggs for the "yard egg" French toast.
Megan ShererMarch 18, 2017If you're considering getting anything vaguely Mexican, I definitely wouldn't. The rice and beans were woefully under seasoned, and the main dish is covered in sauce to cover up the food.
Alma ClarkApril 3, 2013You can't go wrong with the grilled meatloaf! The true Texas lime pie was perfect.
Greenlit EventsAugust 9, 2011Drive by to check out the owners HausBar Farms (about a five minute drive away), and there you will see where the real majority of the eggs and produce come from.
Incredible. If you haven't had the Blue Plate Special, you haven't lived. Just ask Elaine.
Brook ShelleyAugust 7, 2014Dependably delicious. They grow veggies in their back garden that are sure to please.
Erin ByrneJune 3, 2012OMG my mother and I agree the little jalepeño cornbread muffins r sooo good, they're addictive!
Derek BacaSeptember 23, 2012The food was fine. Too much whipped cream on the Belgian waffle for my taste. The major drawback was waiting for the food and then the check. If you're not in a hurry, things will be fine.
Lalo RodriguezJune 15, 2011My friends uncle is the cook, so anytime you enjoy your food be sure to let him know!
Sam MelnickMarch 18, 2017The jalapeño cheddar cornbread is amazing, but everything else was either average or sub par. Our sides were unseasoned and boring.
Patrick ToussaintNovember 9, 2013Seriously. The huevos are incredible. Why haven't you ordered them yet?
Jennifer HowzeJuly 18, 2012This longstanding Austin resto has become so popular. Avoid waiting by making lunch reservations.
Mike DahmusMay 16, 2011vegetables are the key - especially the acorn squash (via Scoville) Read more
Scott ClarkApril 13, 2010Save room for dessert! They've got cobbler, brownies and chocolate pie...mmm.
Kim MitchellApril 8, 20122 hour wait for Easter brunch! Heading across the street to Hoovers. Darn, I love Eastside Cafe.- Jill NovakApril 29, 2009Go to Eastside Cafe, sit in the garden and see if you can find a cat. Once inside, order the mixed field greens salad.
