spinach and mushroom omelette
Robin W.

Great Brunch place! I ordered the spinach mushroom omelette. It had the perfect ingredient amount, I was worried that there would be to much spinach but was so happy that it wasn't the case. The hubby enjoyed the pancakes as well. The service was just ok. We also enjoyed the vibe of the place!

Kids eat free, so there's that after a visit to the thinkery; otherwise, I really don't see any need to visit this place. When comparing to a Denny's or an IHOP, I would rank Blue Lacy just a grade below in terms of taste. Restaurant vibes are fine, the menu is just uninspired and the food was very average. Price was okay for the location. Would I Go Out of My Way to Try? No Would I Return? No Food Taste- 4/10 Ambiance - 7/10 Service - 6/10 Value- 6/10

Blue Lacy is part of a hotel called Origins, and though I have never stayed at the hotel, I did have breakfast here a couple of times. They have a breakfast bowl that is really great. You can get it with a few different meat options, including, of course, brisket. It has an avocado sauce, eggs, cheese, and hashbrowns. It's filling! The waffles are good too. They do a chocolate-covered strawberry espresso that is yum times ten. I haven't tried any of the breakfast cocktails, but I'm interested in trying a Bloody Mary next time.

This place was fine... The service was definitely good and they were attentive, but overall the food was just average. They also do not have a lot of variety on their menu. Easy to get in and out of though because they're not super busy when everyone else is.

Fantastic food!!!! Stopped here with kiddos for lunch and everyone was raving about the food!! The vibe is also soooo cute!!!

Coffee - cute mug but wasn't wild about what was inside.

The Good: My omelet was tasty and my hash brown crispy (the way I like them). The space was cute. The Not So Good: The coffee The Ugly: I think they were short staffed but our food didn't appear until we asked for it 45 minutes later. In fairness, they did take a percentage off our check (ergo the 3 stars).

Came from GA to visit and Stopped at this location after visiting Thinkery.. great idea. The restaurant is such a cute vibe. Restrooms look and smell great. There is even a little play area for kids while waiting on food. So we started off our orders with two bloody Mary's one with gin one with vodka, a pineapple mimosa and oj and apple juice. For entrees, we got: waffles, omelette, bacon, eggs and hasbrowns. Everything was absolutely delicious. No complaints.. the staff exhibited great customer service. And very hospitable. Would definitely recommend and return.

REVIEW FOR DOG MENU ONLY: I've been wanting to try Blue Lacy for a while, and the biggest selling point for me was their menu for dogs! I was excited to give it a shot, but after reading several reviews on multiple occasions, I could only muster ordering meals for my fur kids. Our waitress was super friendly & loved on our dogs! We ordered two dog meals (splitting one between our two small dogs and one for our husky), and they were obsessed. The meal had quinoa, rice, peas, carrots, blueberries, and chicken and devoured every last bite. Unfortunately, I was surprised to find the food cold and not fresh!! While I'm not sure how long Blue Lacy will be around, I really appreciated them taking care of our pups! More places in Austin should follow their lead--this is the only spot in Austin I found that serves food to dogs!

Happy hour

This place has happy hour every day. We had $7 margaritas and half off appetizers. The cauliflower bites, fries and mozzarella sticks were very good. The sliders and margs were good too. Service wasn't that great though and we sat outside so I never went inside to see the restaurant. Was great though and will come back!

Breakfast menu
Mary L.

I'd never heard of this place until I discovered it on a stroll around Mueller, and my friend and I decided to give it a try for our weekly Sunday brunch. They serve breakfast all day and the breakfast menu was small, and to my mind pretty run-of-the-mill. It all seemed a bit pricey to me, but I am cheap and still not fully resigned to the fact that even a basic breakfast tends to be $15 these days. I ordered a breakfast bagel. It cost a mere $12, but when my plate arrived, it felt pretty skimpy. It consisted of a plain egg bagel, an egg fried hard (which I dislike, but no one had asked), hashbrowns that were not brown (but they were cooked through and fairly tasty), some smoked Gouda, and two slices of very good bacon. But the kicker, and my friend, and I both laughed about it, was the side of fruit. it was basically a thimble of three blueberries, two small chunks of strawberry, and two very thin slices of pineapple. It seemed ridiculously tiny. My friend was happy with her Breakfast Bowl--perfectly soft-scrambled eggs, more of that good bacon, undercooked hash browns, and a little bit of avocado "crema." The service was friendly but quite slow, even though the place was the opposite of crowded. They validate parking for the nearby McBee parking garage, which was nice. Austin has so many places for brunch. Some of them have very good prices for good food. Some of them have higher prices for exquisite food. Some of them have menu items that are so unusual or so good, you just have to come back. But as my friend and I walked away from Blue Lacey, we agreed that we agreed that although it was pleasant enough, neither of us felt any desire to come back.

Lovely service, scrumptious breakfast, cute decor however they did play the same synth pop song on a loop the entire time we were there which made me feel a little crazy but was a nice experience nonetheless.

Ribeye steak and frites, medium rare, perfectly cooked and lightly battered fries with a side salad
Yunny D.

We had such a good dinner last night at Blue Lacy. I'm so surprised at their low rating. They are not a high end restaurant but their food is good and they have a rotating happy hour that's Mon-Fri 5-7pm. My dirty martini was $7 and we had half off appetizers and our ribeye steak frites was only $18. It was a great deal for decent food and the service was fantastic. I was sad to see that it's not as busy as it should be for the location they're at but there were people we could tell from the hotel and a lot of single people having dinner. It's such a nice place in a great location.

Drag Brunch!

See all

The Flor De Fuego was smokeyy and spicy with a kick, while the El Mercado was perfect for my sweet-drink-loving heart. The space is small with limited seating, but a nice date night spot. Since they just opened, service was a bit slow and crowd management could use some polishing. Definitely recommend making a reservation so you don't have to wait for tables to free up. Excited to revisit and try their food menu!

The…read moreVázquez sisters (of Veracruz All Natural fame) have created a warm, intimate bar that feels more like a cultural experience than just a night out. The mezcal selection is amazing, which is really the whole point. It's the best way to try something new, with over 20 different agave spirits from all over Mexico. The staff is super knowledgeable and passionate, and they take the time to walk you through the differences in flavor, region, and even who made it. You can tell they really care about honoring the traditions and the people behind the spirits. Cocktails are thoughtful and seasonal, but I'd recommend trying at least one pour neat. The food is just as good, as you might have guessed by the menu next door. The thick cut tortilla chips are unbeatable, especially when paired with fresh guacamole and homemade salsa. Whether you're a mezcal nerd or just curious, La Mezca is one of the most unique and thoughtful drinking experiences in Austin. I'll definitely be back.

It seemed quite busy but I was still able to get the bartenders attention amid a large group in front of the bar. I would say it's very similar to kitty cohens in terms of cocktail quality and over all atmosphere. It's also dog friendly which is a plus since I love bringing my dog wherever I can.

The drinks were pretty good, I had the moon tower cocktail which was a little sweet but still pretty strong and my date had a frozen cocktail which he also liked a lot. There is parking in the area (streets) that I do believe is mostly free; I ended up parking across the street at Este because I ate there first but there were lots of other cars parked around the place. You order at the bar; menus are on the table but you have to walk up/nobody serves you at the table. You also seat yourself. Bathrooms were quite clean too! Overall this place has a pretty good vibe; I have other go to spots around town I would choose first, but I liked Teddy's and if you live nearby/in east Austin it's a great option for a drink and chill :)

There is sometimes trivia or drag queen night going on outside, something to keep in mind. There are also a few spots in the front of the building you can sit at, but that area tends to fill up with smokers so be aware. There are vegan options which are great. The margaritas are good and the last time I got a Michelada I was given four olives and that made it extra delicious for me. The coffee drinks are solid too. I have yet to have a bad time here. A great spot for last minute meet ups or other casual get togethers. I have a few friends that love this place so I'll be sure to come back.
