So I went there today for a friend's birthday. She loves the French toast bites. Apparently Easy Tiger has been bought by MML Hospitality and they have removed that from their menu. Along with about two dozen other brunch items. If you like their Mexican mocha don't go because that's gone too. Ironic, given this recent quote in Tribeza: "When asked if longtime customers should expect surprises beyond their favorite classics, Hershberger said, 'Absolutely! There will be some exciting additions to the lineup. If I told you what they are, then it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?'" Additions? What about all the subtractions? Maybe this abbreviated menu is temporary and some favorites will be back when they officially on 9/21/25. But if that's the case, put that on the tiny menu and tell the servers. We felt sorry for the server because he's obviously having to deal with the fallout of decisions made by the new owners. But he was very professional and nice. The items just aren't the same. My friend ordered a breakfast taco and I couldn't see a tortilla around it, but it was a tiny portion of egg with bacon that didn't look like a taco. It also came out by itself. Then my friend who ordered a bagel had hers arrive. I was the only person who didn't order a cooked item, I ordered a pastry. That came out about 15 minutes after their two items came out. All in all a very strange experience. It used to be a bustling place on weekends with lots of people there for brunch. Today there were far fewer people there, and honestly far more children. Sad to see this Austin staple that has been great for years get changed up so completely by a new owner. I don't think it will be a go-to brunch spot for us anymore unless this truncated menu is just temporary. read more

The food and service is still top notch and it's been about 3+ years from my last visit. Great outdoor space for kids and dogs! read more

Came here as an informal work happy hour on a Friday. Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. I ordered a happy hour margarita, the bratwurst on the pretzel bun, and croissant. All the three were enjoyable but I wouldn't mark them as my personal all time favorites. My co workers ordered the pretzel and we both were expecting a soft pretzel (and maybe that's on us) but it was not, so we were a little disappointed at that. My co workers ordered actual lunch items but I was a little tardy to the party to I just got the few things to snack on. Water is available and servers would rotate every few minutes to check in and see if we needed anything. Overall, I saw a lot of people coming to just catch up and chat casually or work and I think I'd definitely return for that reason alone. My coworkers coffee looked and from my one taste was yummy. read more

Stopped by here for a quick to go lunch and matcha and wish I could have stayed longer! I've been to the other Easy Tiger OG locations and had no idea that there was one further north closer to me in Georgetown. The matcha latte was great and the cabbage pea salad was a GAME CHANGER. Will be back and want to try something new but that salad was 10/10! read more

This beer garden is spacious and well designed. It takes me back to Germany. While it was packed on a Sunday at noon, there were still a few unoccupied tables both inside and outside. I ordered the French toast bites ($13.80) and my friend ordered the breakfast sandwich ($10.55). This French toast was very interesting as it was made out of baguette bread. I enjoyed it with the blackberries, maple syrup, and butter, although I felt that they skimped on the berries. My friend liked his breakfast sandwich. However, we were both not full after eating our meals. At these high prices, we were expecting to at least have a filling meal. They had pastries on display, which were quite pricey as well. read more

Very welcoming staff. Clean tables and silverware. Felt welcomed the entire time I was here. My breakfast bowl had a 10 minute wait time. Everything in there was savory and delicious. Came out warm and delicious. My Bengal spice was prepared and served within seconds of ordering. Was checked in on regularly during my stay. I have nothing bad to say about this place. Wonderful job team! read more

Our server Sam was awesome, he corrected a mistake in our order. The menu and their point of sale computers weren't up to date. We wanted to order the combo with 2 meet options, and the girl behind the pastry counter we were originally ordering from said there isn't a 2 meet option and she wanted us to order separate meals per meet. She wanted the 2 of us to buy 4 meals to try 4 meets. She was very dismissive when we were shoring her the menu. Food was great though. I would've given lower stars but Sam saved the day. The atmosphere was awesome and there is a big outside seating for dogs. read more

What happened to Easy Tiger? This was one of our favorite spots for burgers and excellent sandwiches and one of the first places on our list for take-out any day of the week. The new menu did not have my favorite East Side Burger I'd been ordering for YEARS, and the burger I got instead was so sad. Really nothing like the excellent burgers they used to make. My husband also thinks the sandwiches he likes have gone downhill this year. We tried a couple times, in case it was just an off order on an off day - but this place has changed for the worse. read more

BLT sandwich is amazing! Incredible flavors of bacon, tomato and fresh lettuce and homemade sourdough bread too. Then we shared the side of brussel sprouts with the table. A yummy meal and good drinks. I tried their margarita and it was good. read more

I love Easy Tiger. This is my first time at this location. Parking lot is decent. They have a huge outside covered patio. They have lots of seating inside too. WiFi is available. Looks like a lot of people come here to work. Pastries were beautifully displayed. I'm actually surprised they had as much as they did at 12:30pm with a full house of people. Had to get pain au chocolat. And a croissant. They looked so buttery. Bread looked amazing also. I love their sourdough. Customer service was on point. Gentleman behind the counter took my order, was very nice and bagged up my goodies. He even sliced my bread in the slicer machine. When I got home, I had the pain au chocolat, it's super flakey. I ate it over my kitchen sink. Just made crumbs everywhere. It's very flakey, lightly crispy, and buttery. I heated mine in the toaster, which made the chocolate warm and soft. Very good. Croissant is for breakfast tomorrow, and I already know it's going to be buttery and flakey too. Im looking forward to having it. And the sourdough bread I've had before, and I'm excited for avocado toast all week! read more

Came here to work remotely one Friday afternoon. I will definitely be back for several reasons. First, the Wi-Fi was really good so I could get things done without experiencing connectivity issues. Since they have the large outdoor beer garden, there was definitely ample space to set up shop. I found a picnic table next to an outlet, so I could keep my laptop charged. They have a few vegetarian lunch items, and I went with the quinoa bowl. It was delicious! Worth the $14.95. The crispy chickpeas, the sweet potatoes and the tahini dressing were super tasty. The great thing is that happy hour starts at 2 PM, so I grabbed an old-fashioned. It was well worth the $5 price tag. They also had a margarita, wine, some other cocktails, along with beer and a couple food options on the HH menu. Service was good as well. And the smell of the fresh bread every time the door opened was just the aromatherapy I needed. read more

To start off I have come here over a dozen times and the coffee is just getting worse and worse every time. This place is a great place to come for the relaxing vibes and service which is great Not shaming the place but probably the people making the coffee needs more quality control. I'll try one day coming back but not any time soon. read more

nice tasting boulange, however, i bought a loaf of bread made with rye flour and it was baked too dark. i understand making bread (la madeleine bakery lead trainer, retired) this loaf of bread was so dry that only the very center was any good. the bottom was baked so dark i had to use my bread knife to saw through it. please check your oven temps and maybe cut the bake time? disappointed, really. read more

Service was slow, lackluster and unfriendly. As if we were a bother to the server. Food was less then average, almond croissant and chocolate and raspberry croissant where not flakey. They were quite frankly horrible, Just mushy. Total waste of time, money and calories!!! read more

I was thoroughly disappointed with my visit. The beer was flavorless and dull--more reminiscent of copycats than a distinctive brewery. I was eager to try the bakery, but the loaf of bread I purchased was stale and excessively dry. It was clear that it had been sitting out for too long. Overall, this experience fell flat, and I have no intention of returning. read more

My friend and I grabbed breakfast here. We got the bagel and bacon cream cheese. The bagel was ok. It wasn't the best but not bad. The cream cheese was good. We got coffee and asked for the drinks to be less sweet which they accommodated. The coffee was good. The waitress was very friendly. Ambience was lowkey. Definitely would like to try some of their other goods. read more

Really rough experience. There was four of us and basically the server forgot to put in our food order and didn't notice. We got there at 10:30 am on a Sunday and it was NOT BUSY when we sat down. We order some drinks, and then later, put in our food orders. We get our drinks and wait. We sat around watching other people around us getting our food. We finished our coffees and mimosas and sat around our empty table. She never came to check on our food or ask about drink refills. I ended up flagging down another server and asked if she could check on our food. Our server came back and asked me only if I ever got my food. I responded that the whole table hasn't gotten their food. She looked was really surprised. Then she came back and asked if someone's bagel had came out. And we were like literally nothing. We've been seating for almost 45 minutes at this point. She ended up frantically writing our order on a napkin. We ended up getting food, and 3 of the 4 orders had mistakes in them. We just ate what we were delivered, an hour after we were seated. She did apologize and then brought us a full bill. It was not split between the couples. Nothing was comped for our really extended wait, not even our coffees. I feel like when a restaurant messes up that bad, they should apologize to us with at least a comped drink or pastry. Food was okay. Pastries were nice, but not worth the other stuff. Really really disappointing and we definitely won't ever go back. read more

Found while visiting Austin. We went late in morning, so not much left pastry wise. BENGAL SPICE iced latte was absolute heaven. Best specialty coffee I have had. read more

Great place to come and work or meet up friends for happy hour. Service 5/5: The employees are friendly and do a good job at checking in on you. If you're there while they're switching shifts they'll usually let you know someone else will be taking care of you. Food 3/5: They don't have much variety, but their pretzel is pretty great. If you do order it, just be aware that they charge you for each dipping sauce. Drinks 4/5: they have a great selection of beer and also have a cocktail menu. It's difficult to locate their happy hour menu and times. We had to ask the waiter for that information. Ambiance 5/5 read more

Not sure how Easy Tiger can charge $16 for a grilled cheese sandwich. Yes I know it has gruyere and brie but come on. The Wagyu burger is only one dollar more at $17 and that's some special beef from Japan. All other meat sandwiches are either $16 or less. What?? Come on stop doing us vegetarians so dirty. We should eat for less than meat eaters by a fair price. Drop that price and earn our respect. Y'all are really doin' the most in this recession. Wow! read more

Stopped by Easy Tiger just for coffee, but wow--I had no idea they had so many pastries. Total game changer, I'm obsessed now. The place is super clean with a really welcoming vibe. Parking was easy since it's in a plaza (thank goodness). Service was smooth--you order at the counter and they bring it out when it's ready. Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

The pastries are yummy and so is the food. I got the pastrami sandwich and I still dream about it almost nightly. Good work! read more

Simply amazing! The Pit Ham and Cheese was fantastic every bite was delightful! Plus they serve a Shirley Temple with delivery.. perfect!

Excellent service, very gentle waiters and staff yes I would recommend to fiends and family, beer and cocktails are great.

Came here for Sunday brunch and ordered the turkey sandwich, brussel sprouts, and banana bread. Sandwich was ok just a little dry so I asked for honey mustard. Banana bread was dry af. And the brussel sprouts were really good. The service was decent. I asked our server for a straw and she handed me a bare straw with her bare hands and that grossed me out. At least she was friendly. I had to keep getting up for the things I needed which was annoying but it's not a "restaurant." To me it's mostly just about the hype bc it wasn't that good and I agree with a lot of people that the food is indeed overpriced. Probably bc of how much work they put into the decor. It was cute in there. If someone said that's where they wanted to go to eat, I would go but I personally wouldn't recommend this place on my own volition. read more

Our group walked in around dinner time and were able to immediately seat ourselves at one of the many empty outside tables. After many tries, we figured out that their online order app wasn't working. Went inside to order but as it was deserted, we came back out, walked around and finally saw a staff member to ask for help. She offered to send someone over. It took a while, probably because there weren't many staff around. Our table was not completely clean and no effort was made to clean it. We got our own waters, napkins and utensils. For this we were expected to tip the customary 18%-22%. Food was okay. Menu a bit pricey. My chicken sandwich and its accompanying slaw and corn mixture was bland. A little seasoning - actually a lot of seasoning - would have helped. We appreciated Easy TIger's shaded outdoor patio, ample seating for groups, free parking and Sunday evening hours. read more

Ample parking, ample seating, HUGE menu of baked goods, what else could you want! This is must visit for anyone living in Austin and I definitely encourage supporting local coffee houses. I've gotten their baguettes, sourdoughs, almond croissant and coffee, all of which were a hit. They tasted very fresh and seemed reasonable for the price. Sometimes I grab a couple of extra baguettes and freeze them for later use, they're warm up beautifully and you've got a delicious toast for your breakfast one random day. The ambiance is perfect, I love their interior design and the outside has a very lively vibe which makes it a great place to be in this good weather. read more

As food goes, this chain is pretty standard. The food is good, though not incredible, and they have a nice array of baked pastry and bread options. I will say, one thing I like about this chain is that every location has its own vibe. This one feels more like a coffee shop, and definitely the kind you'd want to get comfy at and work from for a few hours. Nice staff too! read more

We threw a party for about 30 people at Easy Tiger and they seriously could not have been more wonderful or accommodating. The manager, Stetson, greeted us and went over all the food and service very thoroughly. Our server, Lily, was FANTASTIC. She was so friendly and attentive. They gave us a separate room upstairs. Which was so great. We ordered several "boards": pretzels, charcuterie, sandwiches, deviled eggs, Brussel Sprouts (my favorite), salad and a variety of desserts. Easy Tiger is casual but fun and has a nice updated aesthetic. They have a nice low key playlist that thankfully isn't plated overly loud. Our party couldn't have gone any better we were so pleased. I highly recommend Easy Tiger. read more

I had the original double burger and fries, it was okay. The drinks were pretty good and the price was reasonable. Visited during happy hour so select drinks were $5 but the regular cocktail menu is still pretty "affordable". The indoor area looks nice and cozy but we sat outdoors and enjoyed the relaxed environment. Although it was a little busy service was good with consistent check ins. Will definitely be back for drinks and to try the coffee! read more

One of our friends was in town for work and staying downtown so we met him halfway at the easy tiger linc location. It was my first visit and they have a cool space with inside space upstairs and down as well as a dozen or so larger tables outside. It was icy out so naturally we sat inside. The beer selection was good and I ordered a new belching beaver ipa and my buddy got a newer ipa from meanwhile. My fiance really wanted a hot chocolate + pastry which they have a deal for but unfortunately they were out of all pastries (it was 6pm and they said they made less because of the weather). She ended up getting a hot totty and said it was good. For food, my fiance and I shared a lemony brussels sprouts, which were pretty good. My buddy got a bowl of soup and a giant pretzel. The pretzel was giant but he commented that you have to pay extra for beer cheese and mustard which isn't something I've seen anywhere before. The bread on his sandwich was so hard it was tough to eat. The food was ok overall but it's more of a snack and drink spot imo, probably good for larger groups. Service was spotty which was weird as they were really slow. You can order through the qr code or the waiter and I made the mistake of ordering my first drink from him which led to a long wait for drink #2. Eventually we got tired of waiting for him to come back and opened a 2nd tab online. I also had the meanwhile ipa and it was solid. Decent spot but overall, feels a bit overpriced for what it is. read more

Honestly, this is a disappointing review to have to write. Five years ago this review would've looked pretty different, but Easy Tiger has not emerged from Covid unscathed, though it seemed like it was struggling even before then. The menu has shrunk, removing some of their best items (see also my Croque Madame picture from 2019 RIP), and the prices have inflated beyond what should be construed as reasonable for a spot like this, IMO. If you're going to Easy Tiger, go for a pint, or during happy hour where you'll be able to get food like pretzels and sausage for less than $10. Cocktails are OK too at the reduced prices. Any other time you're going to walk away with just fair food for more than you probably meant to spend. On the plus side, still a great place to meet up with a group as there is plenty of space to go around most of the time. The baked bread is excellent, but it's much easier to grab a loaf from HEB where they deliver to. I have some hope Easy Tiger can get back its old mojo, hopefully needing to close some of their locations will be a wakeup call and they'll get back to the fundamentals! read more

Came here for lunch one day since it was so close to me and it did not disappoint! It was very active and lively for the middle of the day but I liked the energy. There was no line to order so we got through quickly, took our number and found a seat outside. Very friendly staff who are knowledgeable in the menu. I noticed they didn't have a whole lot of ciders which is my favorite since I'm not a beer drinker but I got the spiced peach cider from Austin Eastciders. It was tasty, refreshing and not too sweet. I also got the kielbasa sausage and waffle fries. The sausage was amazing! 10/10 would get that again. The bread was also so soft and just delicious which isn't surprising with Easy Tiger. The waffle fries however was cold and stale. Proteins get that again. Overall, this is a great place for some good lunch and a beer. Also good for working remotely. read more

Easy Tiger is an awesome restaurant - good food and drinks and it's perfect for larger groups, which can be hard to find in Austin. The happy hour is great - I love their old fashioneds, the orange flavor is a bit more pronounced which I enjoy. Sausages taste great but the best food item is the beer cheese that comes with the pretzel. Employees are nice and seem used to people "camping out" as they said so they let you eat at your own pace. Will keep coming again and again! read more

The Easy Tiger located on I-35 at The Linc is the perfect roadside stop for a casual drink and bite. Upon arriving, you'll find a fairly decent sized private parking lot shared with other businesses. I personally have never been inside, because you have everything you need outdoors -- a bar, restrooms, and waiters ready to take your order. Since the area is fenced in, you feel like you're in a giant backyard. There is ample seating with long outdoor tables, perfect for large groups. BONUS: Dog friendly DRINKS: My favorite drink on repeat is the Lavender Lemonade-- Tito's Handmade Vodka made with lemon, lavender syrup, and sparkling water. If you are here from 4-6 PM, you've entered Happy Hour, where this is one of the items on the menu. FOOD: Unfortunately, food is not their strong point, excluding the giant pretzel and their waffle fries. I've tried various items, and everything was just meh. Overall, come for the drinks and vibes. read more

We came here on a Monday morning in a large group for breakfast before our flight out, and it was pretty decent! I love how huge the large outdoor benches are, perfect for large groups. It looks like there is a stage, maybe for live music? The staff here is super nice. Ordering is very unique too! You scan the QR code on the table, and order on your phone. You also check out and pay on your phone as well! Then someone will bring out your order to you. I ordered the Easy Egg breakfast sandwich, and got avocados with it. This added significant volume to it, as my boyfriend got the same thing but with bacon instead, and his sandwich was pretty flat. TBH, the whole sandwich could've used more aioli or even salt, as it was pretty bland. There was an "add extra aioli" option in the menu, but I didn't taste any at all in mine. This place also has a huge bakery inside. We got a banana bread crumble and apple cinnamon scone as well. These were decent, nothing special but it was yummy. My friends ordered the waffle bites, breakfast bowl, pecan pie, etc. Those looked amazing. Maybe my bf and I just ordered the wrong thing, but honestly the Easy Egg breakfast sandwich looked like it had a lot of potential, as it reminded me of EggSlut in Los Angeles. Overall, the atmosphere was very nice, and the servers were very attentive as well. read more

Ok, the beer here is wonderful, But there are 18,736 places in Austin that serve wonderful beer. My job as a Yelp Elite is to drink beer in them all ... Something I am doing my best to do when I am not getting coffee or Chinese food or tacos instead. * * * Yes, 18,736 places with wonderful beer exist. But 18,736 with wonderful beer AND good food? That is a smaller list. Easy Tiger does a lot of sausages. The sausages here are real sausages with fantastic bread, good beer cheese, a terrific home made mustard, good onions, kraut and peppers, and nifty butter for the bread. For beer and sausages, the obvious competition is Banger's. Banger's has the beer for sure. Bangers' sausages are puny little strings. Bangers has to hide their sausages in oversized buns. If those itsy bitsy little sausages were exposed to the world, Girls would laugh at them. Easy Tiger can just put their sausages right out there on the plate. Girls look at Easy Tiger's sausages with admiration and awe. * * * Easy Tiger is about more than just the sausages though. Their breads are absolutely fantastic. My lovely wife just uses them as a bakery. The coffee is first rate. (Reportage on this comes from my lovely wife again.) Pastries and desserts are totally tempting. And you can do a pastrami sandwich or a nice healthy salad if you are so inclined. * * * Yes, other places in Austin offer full menu options. But they don't come with the fantastic beers that Easy Tiger carries. * * * I would put Easy Tiger as one corner on the Holy Triangle of Good Eating and Hard Drinking at the same place. * * * The Three Corners of the Holy Triangle Are: Easy Tiger = Beer + Big Plates of Fun Food Bobo's = Whiskey and Gin and Small Plates. Beer Plant = Beer + Vegan Fancy Food. * * * You can't go wrong either way. If you want to have a long and soulful conversation with someone, Think about Bobo's. If you are taking someone on a first date, think about Beer Plant. Go to Plan B if the nightly prospect insists on having meat. If it is fun and silly time, go to Easy Tiger. * * * All three of these places are among the Best in Austin. You can't go wrong either way. read more

Solid restaurant and bar. This is a place to avoid if you're not a fan of crowds though. I've been on weekends and weekdays, at different times, and the space tends to fill up and stay busy. Food is pretty good. Beer cheese and pretzels are always a great option. Drinks are delicious. Service is ok? No one was ever rude, but service has been consistently slow, and I've seen some wandering food orders more than once. The ambiance is an ever so slightly elevated chill. Really putting the easy in Easy Tiger. The picnic tables outside are well maintained and are all pretty big so it's great for groups of all sizes. While this is not a spot I would go out of my way for, it is definitely worth checking out if you want a cool vibe with a larger group of friends. read more
