Easy Tiger is a German beer hall ft locally roasted coffee shop. The first thing you notice is their large signboards and huge parking lot. The ambiance does look upscale, so are their prices. They have a great outdoor space and beautifully decorate indoor space. They're trying a lot of things - coffee shop with a bakery, dining restaurant, beer hall with craft beers. It does definitely get filled up in the mornings. My order: Bavarian latte Sour cream Kolaches Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese Bavarian latte though seasonal was nice and flavorful. Kolaches which was a savory and the everything bagel was something I loved with the cream cheese. Must-try! The order came around $20. read more

I will start by saying at the height of its greatness, this place was 5 stars. I've been coming here for something like 7 years. Back then, Austin needed a bakery so badly that easy tiger was a standout savior. Fresh bread (still great today!) and pastries were so welcome. At some point after Covid, quality started slipping. Pastries weren't changing. The croissants were soft with no crunch. The chicken schnitzel which is used to be thin had turn into a thick blob basically a giant chicken nugget. The pretzels I always loved tasted stale like they baked them and left them sitting under heat lamps for hours. Sandwiches tasted noticeably worse. Still, we continued to come here. And then they were sold in the last year. New owners and what's the first thing they do? Fix issues? No that would be hard. They raised prices. A LOT. Coffees cost more than anywhere else in the area. Lunch for 2 adults and 2 kids meal hits $90 with zero leftovers. Every time I come here I feel so squeezed and it's never worth it. So this is it. After 7 years I'm through. The place has so much potential but whatever is happening here I cannot support. There are far better bakeries (looking at you sugarwolf) and far better coffee places (literally dozens). Here is to hoping for a turnaround. read more

We must have caught this place at an off time! We were looking for a place close to our hotel and the reviews were not bad. We arrived and they have a great patio, had live music and there were quite a few people there. We elected to go inside since we had been out all day and we ordered beers, some deserts, and I ordered an 'Ol Fashioned. Oddly enough, great chocolate and a fantastic 'Ol Fashioned go well together. However, the brownie was really dry - seemed to a a few days old, and the drink was just OK. They indicated it would be made with a mix so that probably my bad. My friend had a couple of beers and another dessert but his feedback was the same. I would have liked to stay longer and come back on another night to see if my first visit was an anomaly. I would think they normally have better drinks and food than we had on our first visit! read more

Easy Tiger delivered a fantastic dining experience! The chicken and dumpling soup was absolutely delicious--rich, robust flavors that packed a wonderful punch in every bite. Despite the restaurant being busy and serving a large number of guests, the service was phenomenal. The staff remained attentive, friendly, and efficient throughout our visit. The atmosphere was equally impressive, with great vibes and a welcoming ambiance that made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. I'll definitely be back for another bowl of that amazing soup! read more

Cooper is a wonderful bartender! He Suggests all drink specials and food items. I was excited to see the interesting new menu items but I miss the original ones a lot. Like the beer cheese and original mustard. Bacon. The basics. I guess I'll get my pretzel to go next time. The cheese is now a beer queso. No bueno. I think the sausages might be different too. I'd give the wings a try next time! They looked great. Lots of change with the new owners. New employees. They still have a great patio. read more

Delicious. Honestly, I don't think you can do wrong with anything here. Loaves, pretzels, bagels, rolls, they will all have you in heaven. On this occasion I went for the everything bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, dill... I'm drooling over the memory. The bagel was chewy and buttery, the salmon was perfect, and the capers and dill added that little extra everything. The restaurant offers lots of seating both indoor and outdoor and staff is friendly. read more

We have been to this Easy Tiger on many occasions. Today we went after a game of pickleball for a late lunch. I ordered the fish and chips with a NA lager and my wife had the burger with a spritzer. The fish was good, but the chips were just regular French fries. No malt vinegar. My wife enjoyed her burger, but again the fries were not anything special considering she had to order them as an extra side. The service was fairly prompt, but the drinks took longer than expected considering the place was not busy. I like the clean wood decor and outdoor space, but there are way too many picnic tables. Some of us need chairs. read more

Food was good but I got the wrong order (wings) and it still remained on my tab even though I didn't want them!!! I was under the impression we could keep the wings (since it was not what we ordered, and because the server said she'd take it off our check) so I told my friends to dig in, but when I saw the check was 43.30 we could tell my assumption was wrong. If the server had told us we couldn't eat them we would not have!!! Also, I did not appreciate the note I got on my original order of cheese curds. What is "NO MAKE!" supposed to mean?? Tl;dr food was good, service not so much, even though I recognize we were there thirty minutes before closing. read more

An Austin classic. Their food is always top tier. From the bread to the meats. The space is beautiful, both indoor and outdoor. And their staff is friendly, fast and courteous. And their desserts are to die for! read more

The service each time I've dined here has been solid. The breakfasts have been filling and the breads soft. Most recently I've been there for lunch and enjoying their sandwiches; my favorite is the turkey. The turkey is real meat (no deli pressed stuff here!), with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and fresh sourdough. The sandwich is large and doesn't come with a side, which works great for me, but it's worth noting if you expect something with your sandwich order. I like coming here for Too Good to Go pick ups too. They rescue bakery items at the end of the day thru the Too Good to Go program, which has given me a great opportunity to try many of the breads and bakery items. read more

Absolutely horrible! One of the worst experiences I've ever had! I should have turned around and walked out the door when I saw the flies swarming and landing on the tables, literally had to wave them away the entire time we were eating. I ordered the chicken and dumpling soup, and omg it was a bowl of greasy and oily mess, the dumplings were horrendous! I took one bite and got sick to my stomach! My daughter ordered the pastrami sandwich and it was just a packed slab of fat and she only had a few bites and couldn't eat anymore. My son got the fried chicken sandwich and said it was stringy and dry and didn't want to finish it. We will not ever go back to this place again. Such disgusting food! read more

Beer, Bread, and Chill Vibes on the North Side Easy Tiger at The Linc is a North Austin gem--laid-back, spacious, and perfect for when you want great food without the downtown hassle. Whether you're there for a casual hang, game night, or just craving some legit pretzels and a cold beer, this place delivers. First things first: the pretzel with beer cheese is basically required eating. Pillowy inside, golden outside, and salty in all the right ways. Their pastrami sandwich? Unexpectedly incredible. You can tell they care about their ingredients--everything's fresh, flavorful, and made with a baker's heart. The outdoor space is huge--tons of picnic tables, string lights, and often some kind of fun event happening. It's family-friendly and dog-friendly without feeling like a playground. Inside's got a cozy beer hall vibe, great for catching up or just vibing with a pint. Beer list? Solid. Local-heavy with just enough variety. Service? Always friendly and chill, even when it's busy. Vibe? Come-as-you-are Austin, with better bread. Pro tip: Go during happy hour and grab a loaf of fresh-baked bread or pastries to take home. You'll thank yourself in the morning. read more

Good drink options, good happy hour except no cocktails included in that deal, and the food was just ok! I miss the nachos badlyyy. Servers are great at checking in with the table! read more

Easy Tiger - Menu with happy hour - Beer Gardens Near Me - Austin, Texas

So much seating and so much parking, which is already a big plus for me! We came for dinner, so we were all there to for a full meal rather than their bakery/cafe. And it was more expensive than I thought it would be! Especially how adding fries to your entree was an extra $4. Our server was so friendly and the food didn't take too long to come out. I got the prosciutto baguette and while it was good, it didn't necessarily stand out for me. I think this is a great spot for if you're just hanging out with friends, so might as well order some food. Or if you just want to get something to eat on a normal day. But it's not something I would necessarily go out of my way for. The bread is pretty good though! Especially if you're someone who likes bread that has a good chew to it. I feel like Easy Tiger is definitely better known for their pastries and cafe drinks, so that's probably the move. Also one of my friends asked for the mustard in their burger to be subbed with mayo instead. And that didn't happen :/// sooo idk what happened there. read more

I've been to this location more times than I can count. Now that I work close by, it's often a top choice for lunch with colleagues. Gets kinda crazy busy at lunch time too. They've got a nice selection of beers, cocktails, mocktails, and other refreshments. I like doing a half sandwich and soup or soup and salad for lunch. I try to change it up a bit but the tomato bisque is a constant in my life. They take reservations which aren't needed but helpful during peak times. Bakery items are always fresh and delish. The Biergarten (outdoor patio) is spacious and comfy. read more

I've been to this location many times. It's a very chill spot with indoor and outdoor seating perfect for meeting up with friends for happy hour, or a quick snack/bite. I've typically gone for happy hour (before 6pm) and they have a few menu items and drinks for a cheap price during this time. During fall, the outdoor seating is perfect! Their sourdough bread is amazing and I've purchased a loaf from them when I'm there. read more

Needed hamburger buns for dinner so I drove to easy tiger before work. I sipped in a delicious seasonal latte and pastrami and Swiss kolache. Perfect start to the Monday morning work week.

It was OK. The drinks were OK. The ambiance was OK. There was basically no service when we sat outside so I had to go inside to order. I probably won't go back because it's a bit far for me. If I was closer, it's an OK spot for a hangout though it was kind of dead besides our group (which makes the lack of service even weirder) read more

I used to come here pretty often since I used to work nearby and it was one of the few places in walking distance. Carryout was where I've had the most issues. I'm pretty certain that they forgot my order and then it was unceremoniously handed to me with 0 napkins or utensils and I was fortunate enough to find a fork in a loose drawer. I will say though that my dining-in experiences have been much better and the takeout process has been much improved. I'll highlight the last few times to save you all some reading. I went recently to get an impromptu breakfast and went inside to the counter. The breakfast sandwich had an optional pretzel bagel upgrade and the barista recommended the sausage for the protein. I've since come back a week later to get the same item. I'm not a coffee drinker but their Hibiscus iced tea is DEE-LICIOUS! I was warned it was unsweetened but to be honest, nothing is needed. I've never had a Hibiscus tea so good. Last weekend, I went to sit down for brunch. William was my server and he was awesome. He was the only one out there and with he handled at least 20 people on his own; they have really long picnic tables. He was a like a hospitality tornado and he definitely got me hyped up for my choice of biscuits and gravy. I was looking at their seasonal tart and he also helped me make an informed choice. I was looking for something pop-tartish but he let me know that wasn't the case and steered me towards the turnover. While some of my early visits were a bit rough-it's definitely been much improved as of late. read more

I like this place so much I was here twice in one day (breakfast and happy hour). Great location, good menu and the servers go out of their way to be helpful without being obsequious or condescending. The early morning music is too loud for conversation, but we adapted and enjoyed the food and great service. The Muslim woman (I've forgotten her name ) went far out of her way to make us comfortable and happy. The people are the best part! read more

Delightful little spot! We were a bit early to an appointment so we popped in for a quick drink. I've had easy tiger bread before but haven't actually been to the shop! Nice big outdoor space. Plenty of choices for N/A and mocktails as well as draft beers. The food menu had several things that sounded good, we just didn't have that much time to spend so we didn't order food this go round. But I will in the future! read more

Love this place and I'll be a regular when I travel out here again. The coffee hits the spot and I ordered a chocolate almond croissant. Delicious!! They had a sign that said they offer cultured butter, they mill their own flour, artisan chocolate used, and unique recipes. It's an open concept bakery also so you see the brilliant bakers working their magic in the background. Other breakfast items also offered which I will definitely try in the future. Indoor snd outdoor seating available. Great little spot to hang out with yourself, your friends, or your puppies. Parking was easy. read more

Came here for Sunday lunch with a friend, and was pleasantly surprised at how good all the food was! We got a bratwurst, Brussels sprouts, and French toast bites (weekends only).

The vibes here are immaculate, seems like a fun place for a larger group to hang out too! read more

Drinks are good. Vibe is good. Food is ok. Not a fan of the tomato soup, the pretzel is hard and dry, blueberry muffin is ok, this cold hard brownie on the sundae is not work your money.

Easy Tiger has changed ownership groups a few times over the last few years. Several of the recipes, service, etc have changed. Since they first opened Easy Tiger had a great morning menu option called Easy Morning. A cup of coffee and a pastry for $5. Imagine my surprise when I went in this week, ordered the same thing and now it is $11??!! We aren't talking about a latte and a pastry. Drip coffee. 8 oz. I get that there is inflation, etc and prices need to go up but this is easily 30-40% more than comparable elsewhere. We are talking about counter service coffee and a pastry from the case. $8 and you might keep my business. $11 and I'm gone. There isn't anything the differentiates Easy Tiger from any other coffee shop within a mile. It's a bit of a bummer because I really enjoyed Easy Tiger for the last decade. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't shut down for breakfast in the near future. Competing for that business is clearly not something they are interested in doing. read more

Let's talk about some of the "perks" of this location. It's very near some electric charging stations so you can charge your EV; it's specifically for Tesla but if you have a compatible charger, it's easy to go grab a quick bite to eat and a pint. They also have an in-house bakery, with excellent options. On Sundays they also offer discounts so as to not waste bread. Combine both perks and charge your EV and grab some extra bread and be a hero at the Office on Mondays! read more

I love this location. I came in today for a bite and a loaf, and discovered their lunch special from 11-2 mon-fri for $14.95. My selection was the tomato bisque and the BLT on sourdough. Fresh and delicious. The BLT came with arugula, which is not my favorite, but the aioli and thick bacon made it barely noticeable. The service was great, very peaceful, they don't overwhelm with welcomes and questions, very natural and fluid. I sat outside in the sun and it was perfect. Birds were singing, it was in the 70's, just absolutely perfect to sit and have lunch outside. My fresh sourdough loaf will last me a bit until my next visit. read more

Food is awesome! No complaints there. But the honesty of the staff? That's a different story. I came in early on a Sunday morning around 8 AM. I told the cashier I wanted an iced matcha latte, and according to the receipt, I was charged for a large. However, the girl who made the drink handed me what looked like a regular 12 oz iced matcha -- for $7. When I pointed out that I was charged for a large but given a smaller size, she told me, "They come in one size for iced." My response? Then charge me for the 12 oz at $7 -- not the 16 oz large at $8 -- if there's only one size for iced drinks. Not happy with the service at all. I'll be going to another location where honesty is part of the experience. read more

Just finished lunch here. Great food again and it was perfect sitting out in the patio!

Great food! Great ambience. Not too loud. Service is wonderful. And they have the best, freshly made sour dough bread you can purchase in the bakery area. Outside seating is good, too. Plenty of it. Just not when it's hot summer....though I do think they have misters and fans. Lots of indoor seating too, though. read more

I love coming to Easy Tiger for brunch. There's plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. I usually sit outdoors when I bring my dog. It's almost always busy on weekends during brunch hours but the wait for a table is never long and the service is always friendly. My go-to is their egg sandwich served on the fluffiest, cloud-like bun. I'm always indecisive and will get my sandwich with either sausage or avocado. Both solid choices. Waffle fries are great for sharing. And do not miss the ginormous Bavarian pretzel! The side of beer cheese is the cherry on top. They also sell these pretzels at Q2 stadium, so get one! I also recommend checking out their bakery inside. Their sourdough boules are great and the cranberry loaf sells out quickly, so get one before someone else does. read more
