3.5 stars is so misleading. 5 stars for this place minimum. I can't believe we hadn't been here before but it's definitely a solid local breakfast spot from now on. The food was bomb and our server was great. 10/10 read more

I cannot respond to the condescending "business owner" Earl F so i will just write another review lol ans give another 1 star. :) WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS OWNER SLANDERS POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS ON HIS OWN YELP?! Lol No rules were "stated" when we arrived about the blinds that were literally BLINDING my boyfriend while we were seated. Maybe get some new lights if your restaurant is "too dark" with one set of blinds partially closed. On top of that, we specifically stated there would be 5 in the beginning so sorry the woman in the glasses at the host stand wasn't able to hear correctly. You didn't have to seat us immediately we didn't even complain if there was a wait. Yall were the ones who rushed to get us seated even though there were other parties so lets not blame the customer in regards to yall rushing to seat people when yall had a "full lobby and guests outside". Maybe take some accountability in yalls own actions in regards to your staff being so unruly rude to my family and in other reviews seems like it's very common for your staff to be rude to their guests. Hmm maybe it's a you problem. Considering your reply to half of the 1 star reviews being so ungodly rude and condescending no wonder your staff seems to think it's okay to treat guests with such rudeness. Again, take some accountability Earl. Maybe some new staff and maybe a class on "how to treat customers" and look into getting better lighting so blinds can be closed if a guest is getting BLINDED by the sun and then rudely told to close the blinds because it gets "too dark" lol. Hope this helps you Earl. Be better. read more

I have dined in this restaurant the past 4 years since moving back to the Austin area and I live right down the street but NEVER AGAIN. We got sat quickly and then waited a long time and watched others that sat down after us get served food before us. We have multiple refills of coffee and finally asked "when is our food coming out"" and were told by the waitress that they were still working on it. I asked my wife to wait just a little longer, so we waited another 17 minutes then I walked up to the hostess stand and told them the wait is to long and that I would pay for the coffee we drank. No apology and said we would have to wait for the waitress to pay for the coffee...then whoever responds to reviews states ticket times and says my wife lied about something on the review she wrote. I only do positive reviews and usually just don't go back to restaurants that give poor customer service but guess what...here is my 2nd review and I will make sure I let as many people as possible know about how you treat people. My wife thought initially it was poor service because she is brown skinned but I reassured her I didn't think that was the case...I thought they must have lost the ticket or something but your response to my wife was unbelievable. POOR MANAGEMENT AT BEST. See the other reviews on google and how they respond. Your food is really good but your service is just BAD read more

Everything here is delicious. Very large portions and short wait for food. Wish they were open evenings.

I really don't understand the negative reviews here? I've been here many times and it has never disappointed me. Especially the Crème Brûlée French Toast *drool* I have tried to make it at home and can't seem to replicate their perfection. The staff has always been friendly here and usually efficient If I were to suggest one change to this place: It is a relatively small change, that would only improve the odds of me choosing this place over other favorite breakfast spots, offer creamer choices (French Vanilla & Hazelnut) for coffee. read more

Great food but the second time my order was not correct. I got overcooked food once which was credit back but now no ranch with my salad and gravy everywhere on my boxes and spilled before I could eat it. When I drove back to get a replacement they charged me. They lost my 20 once a week expense. I'll go somewhere else. Chuys next time. Rude lady poor customer service. My 100 I spend a month here will be better spent elsewhere. 3 dollars to replace the gravy. I hope it's worth it. read more

The online menu for to go doesn't include the Monte Carlo, so I called in my order (canadian Benedict and Monte Carlo) with no problems. They said it would take about twenty minutes so I started walking over from my hotel. The fresh fruit for sides were delicious and the dishes were amazing! I admit I let my inner fat girl out and ordered both meals for myself, and only ate the Benedict for my meal and didn't eat the Monte Carlo until that night, but even after a few hours it was still awesome! read more

Best pancakes/breakfast ever! Really great waitstaff and kitchen staff too. Ten +stars. Special thanks to Shannon.

Update: as predicted she would write a nonsense response. Funny as we have met the owner several times throughout the years so I am confident this is a made up response. Read many of the current reviews and it is apparent that there is something wrong with the new management style. This is a difficult review for us to leave as this had been one of favorite places for many years. During the difficult covid era they were one of the first places to reopen and seat customers which made it even more special and endearing. Obviously, we have been long term loyal customers. Staff was always great and welcoming. That recently changed and we found the new management to not have the same welcoming demeanor as 1431 has always been known for. Her temperament obviously has rubbed off on her staff. We questioned an error on the menu that we had been given a different answer just a few days prior from a different waitperson. This waiter was condescending and rude. When we pushed back trying to get a straight answer things went south quickly. We decided best to just leave and while heading to our car the manager came out to pursue us and to use her term was very aggressive. I made a comment about how things had changed and the difference between the former wait staff and her new minions. Had to laugh when she said she asked the former staff to leave because they were thieves and stole from the business which as a business owner myself even if true, I could not imagine making that kind of public statement. Then in her escalating instead of defusing she says we are not allowed in HER restaurant again. No worries from our perspective fortunately there are many places to choose from and no doubt if she continues on the path, she has set it won't be long before other customers are alienated as well. I feel for the owner and wish him the best. No doubt they will respond to this review as they have on all other negative ones with some made up justification and pin the blame on the customer rather than addressing the real problems. Ironicly the manager said as much when we mentioned we would leave a review. read more

Today my family was asked to leave after being seated.Had our drinks and had placed our order for 5. The host came over and asked us to move tables because a bigger party could use the table and wanted us to sit in a smaller table that we didn't all fit. Because they weren't nice about it, my family said no, the manager then came over and told us she canceled the food order and that we needed to leave. Now that I look at reviews, seems like it's a norm to accept behavior like this from staff. They need better training. Treating customers like that is unacceptable. Will be letting family and friends know about the incident also, leaving this review anywhere possible so other customers know how this establishment treats customers. read more

We just found a new jewel to stop and have a diner type meal in this area before 3PM. They had a great variety of meals and various "cocktail" offerings and we really enjoy our server, Morgan, which she said it was her first day; but we sure couldn't believe it. She was fabulous. This place had such a fantastic family ambiance. We just loved it. We will go out of our way to visit this cafe again. And try different specials this time. We had regular waffles and sausage waffles. They were both great! read more

We decided to go for brunch on a Sunday morning and we got to this place at about 10 am. There was already a huge line at the door. They told me it would be a 45 min wait, that I had to wait outside as when the table is ready they'd just open the door and call my name. No text or anything of that sort. After 45 min we were seated and our server was helping us. I asked for a recommendation and she mentioned that their fried chicken was the best. I decided to go with the fried chicken Benedict and it did not disappoint. Simply delicious!! Husband went the sampler which was awesome and simply huge! The only thing I would say is that this is a huge meal! Be ready to take some home or maybe share it. read more

OK..found my new favorite breakfast place! GREAT service from Gavin this Saturday morning! She was pleasant from the start with her happy attitude taking our drink order! Then, answering any questions we had with the menu. Always checking on us during our meal to make sure we good, and if needed refill on coffees. My husband ordered the Meat Lover's Omelet (which was HUGE--a lot bigger then you get at most breakfast places..see picture)! It had a LOT of meat in it (including big chunks of ham)! I tasted it, and would only change the sausage to match the ham, instead of crumbles. But, think it would make the omelet TOO big..LOL! I ordered (and highly recommend) the Country Chicken Benedict! Now, I am picky on my Benedicts, as there is many ways most places do not do it right. And, in the two years I have been here in Texas, I had not found any place to do it right! First, and foremost, is the poached egg! This is where most mess up! They overcook...NOT this place...you cut into it, and yolk oooozzzzzed out of both eggs! Then, the Hollandaise sauce, is usually not that great, as again, they overcook and it breaks, or just in general, bad tasting. Again, this place, added Chipotle to it, and very good! Then, in this case, they replaced with a biscuit, which again, soft and pillowy, and beats an English muffin any day! The last, is replacement of the traditional ham. I have tried crab, brisket, ...and chicken, and most have again, over cooked, and just not much flavor. This place...went way above what was expected! This "Country Fried chicken" breast they put on each biscuit was phenomenal! You can tell it was NOT frozen, and that it was hand breaded, and crispy (did not get soggy from sauce or egg)! Now, while waiting for our food, I notice the size of the pancakes on other's plates, and they were the size of plates. So, if in the mood for those, know those are huge! Also, I could tell they bussed the tables quickly, as they had to, and there was always some people waiting in and outside I saw. I told Gavin at the end, we were very happy with this place, and glad we found it (I found here on Yelp)! And now, will make this our weekend breakfast place, and think others should too! read more

Holy wow! looking for huge portions of unique twists on southern comfort food for either breakfast or lunch?!? this cafe has a really interesting menu and both breakfast and lunch are served all day. Chicken fried bacon anyone?!? Don't miss that delicacy!! But equally good are the omelets, pancakes and eggs benedict varieties (corned beef hash with cream cheese and a chipotle hollandaise? say no more!) Shannon may have been the most knowledgable, humorous and relatable server I've ever had. he gave honest menu advice, was prompt and checked back regularly to fill water glasses, clear plates, etc. Decor is simple, comfortable and allows for a full restaurant to not feel crowded or chaotic. lucky for my waistline I live an hour away. really lucky for my tastebuds that it's worth the drive! read more

If I could give -5 I would . The absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced as somebody who works in the industry. The host was ungodly rude, then proceeded to talk about us to our server before our server even approached our table, which then took our server an extra 10 minutes to already come to our table with an attitude didn't even get my drinks. I got up and left because I will not deal with that.. To be respond to the idiot who owns this place 1 question real quick! Were you there? Oh no? You weren't? That's crazy how you have such a victim complex. You're a shitty business owner Earl your food is good. Your staff is trash. You're a liar and that's all there really is to say about this place. I waited for 8 years I know how a restaurant flow works. read more

It's been a year since my first review and I've been back probably 50 times or more. Food is still great and reasonably priced. I've rarely strayed from the breakfast menu and the first time I did was the day my son was born. Ordered the club sandwich which was just an absolute monster. I took the leftovers with me to the hospital and it could barely fit in the to-go container. I might have got 3 meals out of that one sandwich. Since last review I've come around on the coffee. Not sure if something has changed with it or if it has just endeared itself to me the way the cafe and its staff have over time. Only criticisms I can give this place is it would be nice if they were open later (and just a smidge earlier so I had the option for breakfast before work), and had a few vegan options that weren't just salads and a few sides. My partner rarely joins me for my excursions here because there's just not much for her to eat there, which is unfortunate. read more

Food was hot, tasty and served as we asked. The service was good. We got refills on our drinks without having to ask, which I really appreciate. We will be back read more

We normally would not sample a place where that many Yelpers rated it below 4 stars. But hey, living dangerously. The place's ambiance is all cafe and that's absolutely fine. A solid breakfast menu to choose from is what caught our eye and after having the sausage stuffed waffle and the creme brûlée french toast, our experience was higher than the Yelp average. A solid breakfast experience. read more

Had been going for over 3 years. Stopped food was going down hill. Service was great The new mgr changed things up and not happy with changes - but mainly quit because food was inconsistent and had to send back numerous times. So we stopped going I appreciate your feed back and being so professional. No one at other restaurant told us to write this. Didn't know anyone from 1431 worked there until we walked in. So get your facts straight. I quit going to 1431 because of inconsistency of food and if I said anything to you the owner - you didn't agree. So have a great day Bless your heart read more

I have been coming here for years. The food is great, pie, pancakes, etc. have not had a bad experience. I absolutely love their giant chocolate chip pancakes that could feed 2 people. Side note: if you're going to order to-go food on the weekend, make sure you order early because it can take up to an hour for food to be prepared with all of the food orders. read more

I tell you what, its places like this that are really my favorite. I saw the menu for 1431 Cafe and I knew I had to give it a try. Home-style cooking with a laid-back atmosphere and nice staff, what more can you ask for? Back where I am from in Virginia one of my favorite restaurants growing up was a homestyle restaurant in a little strip mall, but because of people that can't appreciate some good food for a good price and a local small business, they closed their doors for good. I am very glad I stopped by 1431 to give it a try and it will definitely be one of my go-to options in the area for brunch! We came in on a busy Sunday around noon for a late breakfast/brunch and had a look over the extensive menu options. We settled on a couple platters and I had to get those grits. Portion sizes are great and something I look for in any restaurant, no matter how much I am paying for it. The pancakes were excellent and pretty thick, with enough butter on top to feed a family of four. The grits were not the best I've had, but grits are grits; I am glad they even have it on the menu. The scrambled eggs and corned beef was excellent, and the queso on the country platter was very good. We never had to ask to have our water refilled, and we were checked on a couple times to make sure the food was to our liking even though it certainly was a full house! I will absolutely be back to try other items on the menu and come here with friends when they visit. 11/10 would recommend. read more

We used to eat here! But since the new manager started everything has gone down the drain First they hung up some ugly red curtains, and next, they hired two hosts with NO CLASS! They won't seat you as walk in if it's only a couple they want you to wait 30 minutes until they have a tiny table who the F wants a tiny table!! Stupid rules stupid manager we walked out and so did two other couples. We noticed that the manager is constantly on the phone and another thing is the restaurant seems to be dirtier. On our way out the door, the hosts said bye. I guess she doesn't care if she doesn't have a job tomorrow! read more

It was a bit busy when we got here, took about 20 minutes to be seated which is understandable. One of the waiters accidentally spilled tea so our table + seat were pretty sticky. The hash browns were a bit oily but otherwise pretty crispy and flavorful. The omelet was a little much being that they had overstuffed it with the ingredients requested, it felt like I was eating chopped up meats with a side of egg. Two of us ordered the pancakes and they were said to have been pretty dry. The best foods here were the bacon and croissant. Overall our server was pretty patient and helpful, I just wish they were a little more attentive to the fact that they had spilt tea all over our table/booth and shoes. read more

Came here with a friend for breakfast and will not be returning. The waitress was friendly and welcoming. We both ordered pancakes, bacon, and eggs. We thought it took way longer to arrive than it should have, but regardless we waited patiently. When our order finally arrived, everything was cold and the pancakes were so dry. It was very obvious that our order must have just been sitting a while before the waitress brought it out. Unacceptable, it wasn't even busy when we went. We didn't say anything because they probably would have just put it in the microwave. Wasted our time and money here, bad first impression. read more

The manager was simply rude and insensitive to people who are deaf. The atmosphere was not cheerful, and she was already grouchy. She made my 96-year-old deaf mother wait standing while three tables were available for a good ten minutes. We had been regular customers (20 years), but not anymore. After we (the party of four) sat down, I immediately realized that the outside lights, reflecting off white trucks, created a glare that made it difficult for us to communicate via sign language. I asked a waiter if the blinds could be closed, and he kindly complied so we could continue our conversations peacefully. However, the manager immediately went up and opened the blinds again. After asking her to please close them, she huffed and muttered rudely, which was simply disrespectful. We immediately left and told the manager that this place is no longer as welcoming as it once was, nor is it accommodating to us anymore. We will not be returning. If they treat their lifelong customers like this, we will never come back. It's sad that the manager's ignorance overrides the basic needs for communication. My recommendation to both longtime customers and new ones is: do not go there. You can be sure that the manager doesn't care about you--only about your money. read more

This used to be our favorite weekend breakfast place. After several visits we got to know the waitstaff and everyone was always friendly and welcoming. Recently my daughter and I visited and found that the staff was completely different and the place did not have that welcoming feel anymore, the vibe was completely different. The staff seemed to be going thru the motions and all the friendliness went away. I believe there were some managerial changes, from what I was told and the place does not feel like it used to.. We received our food and it was not the same, quality of the food was mediocre. Sorry to say but my family will not be returning. Just fyi, folks. We've found a new home at Nicks cafe in Leander and the food and service is far superior to this place. If you are going to spend your hard earned money pick a place that has price and quality that match. Staff is very friendly and they can talk to you. Cannot believe the nerve of this guy saying that my review is fake, that's BS! We were customers of this establishment for many years. Some people just cannot take constructive criticism to make themselves better, they would rather slander someone and lie to make themselves look better. Again, Nick's is much better don't waste your money here. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for years, until the manager Rebecca showed up everything was superb. I am disabled and recently had back surgery. I have to sit in a booth due to the pain. All booths were full except three for six people. I had a party of two and simply asked to be seated there until a smaller booth open up, and mentioned if a large party showed up I would move. Her answer ABSOLUTELY NOT, I'm not doing that. She has the worst customer relations I have ever seen. I will never go to, which once was my favorite breakfast restaurant, this place again.
