Austin ChronicleJune 18, 2013The atmosphere – we're tempted to say "art direction" – is superb, and the food's splendid, too. Meats and produce genuinely are farm fresh, often picked in the morning at neighboring urban farms. Read more
Troy FlintMay 5, 2015Tremendous charcuterie and an array of fresh, creative sandwiches and brunch options. My wife loved the mocha and the charcuterie is a must!
AFAR MediaMarch 20, 2015Come for the Cheese Plate (farmhouse and artisan cheeses, marmalade, round rock honey) and perhaps stay for the amazing menu with daily specials. The Persimmon cheesecake is a must-try dessert. Read more
Geoff DuncanSeptember 7, 2012Same owners as Eastside Showroom and Swan dive. A great new restaurant that has blown up on the east side with it's European atmosphere. We love going here for lunch.
Alyssa PFebruary 23, 2015The mac & cheese (with hot sauce) can't be beat! The affogato is also a great after dinner treat - add a fresh cookie for a little extra!
Raymond de ConinckMarch 10, 2014Choose the steak & fries, it's awesome! Great atmosphere, excellent food, top service. We had a great time!
- Tara CucciaJuly 21, 2013I don't think u can go wrong here, food or drink-wise. Really special cocktails. Not the greatest service so as long as ur prepared for that & don't let it overshadow the culinary experience, ur good.
alex hopesJuly 18, 2012Great atmosphere in this renovated Eastside home. The food is hit & miss, but the friendly staff compensates for the lackluster menu options. The faccia bedda was bland, the coffee was excellent.
Sheyla ConcepcionOctober 17, 2015Mac n cheese is delish. Add some pancetta! Also, the Lone Star is only $1.
Niran BabalolaFebruary 9, 2014When your grandkids ask you what it was like to be a hipster around the turn of the century, you'll tell them about that time you had brunch on the patio at Hillside Farmacy on a gorgeous day.- Ice cream sandwiches are life changing. Try the salted peanut cookie w/ pecan pie ice cream.
Michael KingJuly 12, 2015Summer tomato and smoked mozzarella salad. Great change from the green salad. Delicious!
Jeroen WillemseApril 9, 2019Snacks at half price during happy hour and certain drinks two bucks off. Awesome place and awesome server.
If the decor, "grocery" section, and cocktails aren't Brooklyny enough for you, the insufferable brunch crowds will truly transport you to the Burg!
- Jane MoritzFebruary 4, 2017Perfect for dates!! Very hipster so be prepared for that! Great Mac and cheese, Egg sandwich is B
- Michael KingJuly 10, 2015Champagne, St. Germain elderflower liqueur, a splash of orange bitters. Simply exquisite. Thanks goes to my mixologist Jeff for the awesome aperitif hook up.
Kinjil MathurOctober 8, 2015The place is beautiful. The brunch is satisfying. The hot sauces are out of the world. But the service needs a lot a lot a lot of help.- SaraOctober 11, 2014Monday night half price oysters and $5 cava is reason enough to make this a weekly tradition
- Austin's first African American Pharmacy - now serving delectable farm-to-table in a Brooklyn-esque atmosphere. Get the grapefruit-jalapeno margarita.
Alison R.January 13, 2013The mac and cheese is pretty good, but the gnocchi will blow your mind. If the Ward 8 cocktail is on the specials menu, get it.
VoniaApril 4, 2015The interior design is awesome here, very antiquated. Oysters! Make reservations for brunch!
Jefferson BurrussFebruary 9, 2014Grab a Bloody Mary and prepare to wait — the kitchen slows to a crawl during brunch.
Cesca RezaieJuly 4, 2017The concept of this place is great. Local food. Contemporary vibe. Food and overall service was just "ok". Long wait & staff is constantly asking you to move because it's so crowded & no place to sit.
Rachel CohenMarch 13, 2012Get the poached egg with your sandwich! Ask for it on the side since it makes the sandwich kind of wet and dunk away!
Anna NguyenJune 3, 2012A special, not on the regular menu: crepe with smoked salmon, goat cheese, toasted shaved almonds, peach, truffle oil.
Victoria SchaeferJanuary 10, 2015Good food. Hipster hangout. Eclectic but friendly staff. Good wines by the glass.
Emily CharltonSeptember 5, 2014Perfect for brunch. One of my favorite places in town. The gin punch isn't half bad either.
Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013Great food but a little pricey for the amount you get. It's the perfect place for a light lunch.- Lisa MarkusonMarch 23, 2016your bloody marys / salad soup and cocktail meet / inside this cool glass
- Social News NetworkJune 29, 2012Love for a relaxing meandering lunch. Get the house drink! Food is fresh and delicious.
BJune 7, 2015DON'T get the malt vinegar fries...they come drenched in honey! Yes, honey. No mention of that on the menu.- Morgan TierneySeptember 30, 2018Foods very fairly priced, just took us 2 hours after waiting for a table and our orders to get food. I think wait times are a known pain point here
Stacey CofieldMarch 16, 2012spotty service (though during sxsw so servers could just be hungover) but the food was great, esp mac & cheese
Berries, poppy seed and yogurt cake is AMAZE. Also try a stump town coffee with.
LindseyMarch 7, 2012Mac n Cheese YUM! Thank You sandwich was amazing. Can't wait to come back for Afternoon Tea!
Brian SpearsApril 28, 2013Currently, blisteringly hip. This will be good or bad news based on your hip index of palatability (HIP). Check tip date to extrapolate current hipness.
Dustin ElliottSeptember 14, 2013Ordered a Drambuie Old Fashioned and my taste buds just exploded 😍 One of the best I've ever had. 👌
DarkSkin 🌺 QueenJuly 25, 2013I am not a salad person but for some reason I seem to like them here. Even the house salad is good!
restlessnapkin.comJanuary 25, 2013First time to try Ratatouille, was extremely hearty and flavorful for a veggie dish.
