I love this breakfast spot. Their double stack of buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and cinnamon apple compote on the side is a delicious start to your day. I sipped on an oatmilk latte while I waited for my food. It was a bit room temp but delicious nonetheless. My fiancé enjoyed the blue lacy breakfast with chicken sausage. I got a bite of the chicken sausage and it is delicious! I appreciate Blue Lacy's great service, the googie/mid-century modern decor and SpongeBob playing on the TV. read more

We visited Blue Lacy on a Friday evening and we were seated immediately. We were very impressed with their outdoor dining area (which is dog friendly). It was a chilly night, so we sat inside (although they do have fire pits if you choose to sit outdoors). We weren't in the mood for a big meal and split the Texas Fries and clubhouse sandwich between two people. I'd order the Texas fries again and the clubhouse sandwich wasn't bad. Fast and friendly service. If you're in the mood for breakfast for dinner, Blue Lacy has plenty of options. They even have a menu for your pup! read more

We were in town for a conference a few weeks ago (sorry for the late review) and stopped in for early breakfast. Chef Sonya prepared a most excellent bagel egg sandwich with hash browns! First time I had those on an egg bagel and it was delicious. Jim waited on us and he was so interesting and fun to talk to. He made the recommendation on the sandwich and he was so right! He also made excellent lattes and provided top notch service. Thanks to you both! Highly recommend this place for breakfast and based on our experience, probably other meals as well. read more

I had breakfast there today and it was GREAT!!! Chef Gavin's food was delicious! And Jim Gain did a fantastic job taking care of my service!!!! read more

Great place!! Great staff!! Had a fun and great time there! The food was good, and loved their drag show

Great service. Amazing food and drinks! The drag brunches are amazing and super entertaining!

If you've never been here, it's a must. The decor is modern and chill. The vibe is cool. They have great wine and if you're on a healthy kick like me, you have to try their power bowl. I've had it now with chicken and salmon and you can't go wrong. Jim is the bartender and he's probably one of the coolest guys I've ever met. Chef Gavin did an amazing job on my Power bowl and it looked like the rainbow. Gail is the manager there, and she just adds to the friendly vibe of the entire staff. Definitely a must try. read more

I wanted to love this place out of convenience. It's right next to the Thinkery and they serve Lick ice cream- it had all the components to be "our spot" after playing. Unfortunately, just had below average service today and I don't believe we will be back. When we walked in they let us know they were hosting an event outside and in half of the indoor restaurant area- we were fine because it was still early and they had plenty of open tables. When we were finally seated we weren't offered water or drinks for at least fifteen minutes. We had four children, two being impatient toddlers. Thankfully we had snacks on hand but it felt weird having to bring in outside food while we waited for water. We finally got a server over and tried to order from the kids menu for the children that they had handed us. We were then told half the menu was no longer available as it was considered breakfast. But it was very pick and choose. They had waffles but we could not order pancakes...just strange. Normally wouldn't care- but it wasn't specified on the menu they handed the kids. We scrambled to find food we thought they'd eat. This was when our next big wait came- it took forever to bring out the food. Once it arrived my chicken and waffles was cold. I got a side of $7 mashed potatoes that was about the size of an average scoop of ice cream. Getting our check was an entire ordeal and our server seemed to really be avoiding our table but was very attentive to all the others around us. I get it, kids make a dining experience hard. But this restaurant is right next to the kids museum. They have a kids menu. They have high chairs. It almost seemed like the kids were not welcome there at noon on a Thursday. If you're at the Thinkery and are browsing reviews for a place to eat after with your kids- skip this place. Colleen's kitchen was fantastic to us and just a few steps away. Kerbey lane is a short walk down as well...and they are consistently great! read more

Great food, atmosphere and employees. Everyone was friendly and professional. I had the Ham omelet it was delicious. We will be back again!

Oof. I wanted to love this place. Right next to the Thinkery, super cute vibe, quiet enough. Menu was interesting enough, seemed like there was something for everyone. Service was friendly, but could use some training on things like two bite checkups, making sure everyone at the table had napkins and utensils, and just generally staying nearby in case your table needs you. In addition to most things being burnt, and the bacon tasting like it was cooked in OLD grease, everyone with modifications got incorrect orders. Plain kids pancakes came out with powdered sugar. They actually caught that before bringing it out, but they brought everyone else's food out while our toddler had to wait... Then my daughter was supposed to get sausage instead of bacon. She didn't. They finally brought it out when the rest of us were done and they looked like hockey pucks. My husband was supposed to have cream cheese with his bagel, they forgot it. The kids eggs were filled with black pepper too. Oh yeah, and the kids milk that we asked for with the kids pancakes, was $4. $4 extra for a small cup of cow's milk. We wanted to order coffee after our food arrived, but the server never came back so we didn't. I would absolutely not recommend going to this restaurant when there are so many great options nearby. read more

Blue Lacy - Peppery kids eggs - Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Cute cute cute! Blue Lacy is the spacious all-day restaurant for the new Origin hotel in Mueller. The entrance is right across from Lick Ice Cream and B.D. Riley's. There is a really nice, big outdoor seating area with a firepit that will be great for lounging once the weather cools down. The indoor dining area is also fantastic and can accommodate a larger group. This place is great for a casual coffee date, work lunch, or drinks with friends in the evening. The menu has a good amount of options and the atmosphere is awesome. I'll be back soon, I'm sure! (No validated parking so you'll need to find your own street metered parking or pay for garage parking.) read more

Came for Saturday Drag Brunch! Had the best time! Great food, fun cocktails and amazing performers! Just a great vibe all around!!

Blue Lacy felt like a comfortable spot. Dog friendly of course with menu options for your dog as well. Felt like a slow, sleepy diner in here, but looks modern! Our waitress was sweet and the food came out quickly. It's a decent meal. read more

Great eggs! I love soft scrambled eggs! Visited 3/12/25. Gail was so attentive. We appreciated her hospitality. Meatloaf is on the menu. I wanted to try it and didn't get a chance. Gail said it was good. I bet it is, I will try it next time we visit Austin. Loved the ambiance! Very open and clean!!! read more

What a spot, what a vibe! Thank you Jim, Alejandra and Chef Gavin for the amazing breakfast! More importantly to me thanks for the impeccable southern hospitality :) The coffee was fantastic and constantly flowing, the salmon bagel looked WOW and the classic breakfast was classically Amazing! I'll be hitting you guys up anytime I'm back in town. Also, what a location guys, this time was business but I'd be there for fun too. read more

I got breakfast this morning with some friends. The courtyard space is cute and lots of people bring their dogs since there's a small doggy menu. Our server was nice and service was relatively quick. I ordered the Blue Lacy Breakfast with a side of pancakes. The Blue Lacy breakfast was decent. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either -- just your run-of-the-mill breakfast plate. The pancakes were decent as well -- fluffy and huge. While waiting for my food, I was checking out the kitchen and saw the chefs opening bags of Eggo waffles which was..interesting. Overall, it was a decent breakfast. But, with so many other great eateries in the area, I wouldn't recommend it to tourists visiting. read more

The outdoor courtyard space with the firepit drew us in... and it was so vibey. There's one of your stars. Then the service was very, very kind. Jessie was an absolute delight and he really helped work around my nephews allergies. GOLD star right there. Foodwise - the burger, the blackened chicken and the chicken fried ribeye were all too salty. The waffles are pre-made, refrigerated and then deep fried - they were hard and dry. I'll give them that the healthy food was fresh - good quality greens, etc. read more

Food was ok. Service was ok. Basic diner food. I like the vibe with records on the wall. No wait tho! And its very filling.

My dog goes with me practically everywhere I go so I love a good diner with a pet friendly patio. My favorite part about Blue Lacy has to be the location/it's environment. The Mueller area has to be one of my favorite places to casually walk around on my day off and the Blue Lacy patio is perfect for me and my pup to chill. The first time I had come I had a wonderful experience but this time around didn't quite match it. It took a while for me to get service outside (I had to grab my own menu and go inside to ask for a server) and my waitress had missed some of the usual things like a glass of water, utensils/napkins, and condiments for the food. They serve food for dogs but the portion was very little for my 90 lb dog so I ended up getting her 2 bowls. I ordered myself the Clubhouse sandwich and was honestly a little disappointed with how small and average the food was. I recommend this place more for the location and chill area, but if you're looking for a killer meal, I'd pass this one up. read more

Such an amazing time!!! Great food and great staff. Will be back soon!! Drag brunch is beyond fun!

Price of beer way too high. $12.45???? The place is surrounded by bars that charge way less. I didnt know it was a hotel bar but even then if i was at that hotel i would go next door or across the street and get 2 beers for that price. Hotel bars are only exprnsive because of concenience when they are located far from other bars etc. Never going back read more

As I was looking for a place to camp out for 30 minutes to an hour before my movie at Alamo Drafthouse, I thought I would try Blue Lacy despite all of the negative reviews I had seen. I walked in and the staff was sitting on the patron barstools and no one was behind the counter. It looked like something similar to a hostel where everyone was just hanging out and feeding themselves. I ordered one drink on an expensive happy hour and left feeling quite uncomfortable as someone was training and being micro-managed while they whipped together some simple syrup...I will not be back. read more

This is definitely more of a brunch/lunch spot. Overall the food was good and the portion sizes were large enough to be two meals for me. Our waiter was very friendly and very helpful with pointing out his favorite dishes. I loved the Blue Lacy Jubilee but I didn't like the fries that came as my side. They were pretty soggy. read more

Great food and bartender, laughably bad service. Very difficult to place an order, we never got our appetizer, the server didn't know anything about the menu. My husband ordered a burger and the server said "wow that's a lot of food for one person", it was awkward. We tried to order more drinks but couldn't find our server, finally we left read more

Really not good. I just got the sliders. I couldn't see that they were preparing food for anyone else. When I got them, they were overcooked and so cold the cheese wouldn't melt. read more

Paid $15 for a cold meatloaf 'melt'. Cheese cold, meat just below lukewarm. Took about 15 minutes to come out, which is fine if you're expecting hot food but this wasn't. Restaurant wasn't busy, we were the only table that was waiting on food. They couldn't have cared less about this cold sandwich. Had to take it home and heat it up myself. read more

Excellent food and service. Love the ambiance, laid back but looks like a high end diner. All the staff we interacted with were super cool. Bartenders Michael and Franklin were fun to chat with while they were super attentive to all the guests. Food was on point! Had a $12 ribeye steak special last night (ate it too fast to take a picture, it was awesome) and came back this morning to have the chorizo hash breakfast. Highly recommend! Note that they changed management 2 months ago - ignore the bad reviews posted before then, give them a chance, it'll be worth it! read more

Blue Lacy - Chorizo Hash - Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

First time here today and I was thoroughly impressed. I arrived with my dog and they immediately brought out a bowl of water and let me know that they have a dog menu! I ordered my pup Finn the chicken bowl and he devoured it (he is picky). The ambience inside and outside is trendy and cozy and the cleanliness of everything was refreshing for an austin bar. Franklin was my server and he anticipated my every need and gave me all the details of the happy hour offerings. The happy hour was a great deal - stop by for a 5 dollar burger from 3-6 on weekdays, it's a great bang for your buck. My server Franklin even turned on the fire pit for me outside and Finn curled up right next to it to relax into his food coma. I love to find a dog-friendly bar that has friendly staff and wonderful energy. read more

Blue Lacy - Great spot. Good latte. Pleasant servers. Nice atmosphere with good music playing in the background. - Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

The decor of this restaurant was very beautiful, however the service wasn't great. We had to send back one of our orders due to it not being compliant to dietary restrictions/allergies. They only had one waitress working and she definitely could have used some help from the others who were working to cater to the tables/people waiting. Not the best service overall, but the food was okay and they had good menu option. read more

Blue Lacy is connected to the hotel I stay at weekly for work, and as someone who travels constantly, I can't recommend this place enough. The neighborhood is charming, the food is fantastic, and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. It's become my go-to spot--consistently great in every way! read more

Beautiful restaurant with excellent menu and food that is delightful. They catering team is amazing.

I have wanted Blue Lacy to be a tasty, fun place to go, but after many visits, I won't be back after today. My first time was when they had just opened and the service was poor, items missing from the order, and orders cooked incorrectly. I went back a month later and had the same experience. Again last December, and after that time I decided I wouldn't go back to a place that was routinely awful and pricey. Today, my group decided to give it one more try (mostly because the other area restaurants were busy). It should have been enough of a hint when they place was less than half empty but we decided to try again. The first thing we noticed was that it was very warm - not a pleasant eating environment after coming from outside. The server explained that the A/C had been a problem for a while and was supposed to be fixed but still hadn't been. As I inexperienced in the past, it took an extended period of time to even get water. Then the drinks took a good while longer and we had to ask again for some that just never showed up. We were asked how we wanted our food cooked and the kitchen apparently completely ignored it - a burger that was requested to be pink in the middle should not come out with the texture of a dog bone. Entrees came before one of the appetizers and we had to ask again for the appetizer (Texas fries without chili) and it came out later on covered in chili. Empty drinks all around the table and nobody from the restaurant was coming by. When we were finished, we put the credit card out to pay. After ten minutes more of no one coming by, one of our party brought the card to the server. As a group of six, we had an automatic 20% gratuity added. I am not sure if this was a bad experience because of the server or equally the bar, kitchen, and manager, but 20% for that service was a bad joke. I am genuinely surprised they are still in business. read more

We're staying at The Origin hotel over night and we chose to come to Blue Lacy for dinner. They have great happy hour specials. The food was delicious. We had the bear battered cauliflower as an appetizer and it was the best part of the whole meal! Thaw was our server and she was amazing. Super sweet and accommodating. Only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is my friend's onion rings were very greasy. Other than that, everything was great! read more

This is a very much belated review from our May 29th // Memorial Day visit. I was very saddened by the whole thing because we were made to wait for a table, made to wait to order, made to wait for the food. After 45 minutes still did not get our food. They were not busy, about 4 to 5 tables occupied! We left without eating since our order wasn't near ready! I would have liked to try them out because they are super dog friendly and I heard great things about them. I will be back to give it another try. read more

The Mueller area has grown so much and the restaurant scene has improved greatly so we were hopeful about this new restaurant, especially as an alternative option to classic breakfast fare. Unfortunately, there were many service and food issues. You could clearly see the cook staff and wait staff get into many arguments about food not being delivered and placed correctly. You could also see other tables get visibly irritated about how long food took to come out. (However, I usually give the benefit of the doubt in case the kitchen is under-staffed) In addition, we had to flag down wait staff for simple items like refills and to pay the bill. In terms of the food, there was a huge potential for it to be good, but our food was placed under the heat lamp for so long that the tops were over cooked and even burned. On top of that, the food that wasn't placed under the heat lamp was cold and gummy. We ordered some of the Blue Lacy classics (notated by the picture of a dog on their menu) and it was incredibly disappointing. Pancakes were dense and chewy, monte cristo was bland, chili was oily and over-salted (and burnt). Our guests were so horribly disappointed with the service and food that we were absolutely mortified to have dined here. There is so much potential for this restaurant and the location is fantastic for foot-traffic. In addition, the general ambience was clean and inviting. However, even as a local I cannot in good faith recommend this restaurant to anyone until the food and service issues are resolved. It would take a significant improvement for us to dine here again. read more
