I visited my parents in Austin, TX last week and this was the best meal that I had. The service was great, but the farm to table dishes were innovative and full of flavor. What we enjoyed: - Crudo: bright, vibrant flavors - would recommend - Johnny cakes: my favorite dish of the evening, an elevated take on a rustic, old-fashioned dish - Cacio e pepe: don't sleep on this dish - Pappardelle: a beautiful, meaty pasta dish - Lamb/pork 'carnitas': Id skip this dish. I found the texture of the carnitas to be a bit too stringy and dry - Grouper: An interesting combination of flavors Overall, our favorites were the appetizers and pasta dishes. If I were to go back, Id only order apps and pastas as they are just that good. read more

Unique & yummy. I didn't love the Johnny cakes, they tasted like pancakes. The bread with multiple types of butter was my favorite. read more

I would summarize as good not great. With so many incredible options in town, it's was a bit of a let down. There was no "wow" bite of food that you would expect with the accolades (and the price). Services and ambiance are both great. read more

This is in my top three restaurants in Austin. Really it's a Michelin star restaurant, but done in a very casual way at affordable prices. I've had the steak and the chicken and was shocked to find that they elevated a simple roast chicken into something other worldly. They fill up quickly because they're awesome. You need to have a reservation. read more

I would give 4.5 stars, across-the-board! Food, service, and ambience, overall. Blackjack point oysters - 3 stars. Not the best flavor and we couldn't taste the oysters due to the strong vinegar flavor of the mignonette. This was our least favorite dish of the night. Red Snapper Crudo - 5 stars. Very fresh and delicious with a little kick of heat. Tartare - 5 stars. Texas Wagyu beef! Probably some of the best beef tartar I have ever had. Very flavorful and tender. Roasted Squash - 5 stars. This dish was beautiful and tasted out of this world. It had so many flavors, but was so well balanced. Definitely one of the best dishes of the night. French Ravioli - 5 stars. This was deliciously decadent! I would order this light but cheese stuffed pasta, that is taken over the top by the use of fennel oil, again in a heartbeat! Rigatoni - 5. A very umami rigatoni, probably due to the black garlic aïoli. Pasta was made fresh in-house and cooked to perfection. What order again. Berkshire Pork - 4.5 stars. This was actually pork belly, which is not in the description on the menu, just an FYI. Not the star of the show tonight, but was a nice take and definitely good. Wine selection was decent by the glass and by the bottle. Service - 5 stars Ambiance- 4 stars. Loud (like every place now days) and the wooden back of the booths were quite uncomfortable. The chairs at the tables looked cushion and more comfortable. Thank goodness for valet parking due to its location! We would definitely return here to eat and not just for a special occasion because it's that good!! read more

We were in Austin for work and Emmer & Rye came highly recommended. Despite booking last-minute during graduation weekend, we were able to get a reservation at the bar. The space is beautiful, and the staff--from bartenders to food runners--was wonderful, very friendly but also knowledgable. We were told not to miss the bread service and cacio e pepe. The sourdough with house-made butters was phenomenal--some of the best I've had. The cacio e pepe was rich, delicious, and definitely shareable (we didn't need two orders despite what everyone told us). Overall, a fantastic meal and we'd happily return on our next Austin trip. read more

There's a reason why Emmer & Rye made it onto two of the Michelin Guide's awards for: Bib Gourmand & a Michelin Green Star. The dining room is contemporary and inviting, setting the stage for a truly memorable meal. Compared to the rest of Rainey Street's offering for food, Emmer & Rye left me feeling refreshed and inspired. The textures and flavors in the dishes are carefully curated and perfectly balanced. Unfortunately, portion sizes run small and the pricing is exorbitant at Emmer & Rye. read more

Get the corn johnny cake, the snapper crude and the cacio e pepe...you can thank me later....we have been twice now. The first time was just a week night resy and the other was a work private dinner.....This place will keep a spot on our regular rotation of yummy spots to hit up. Love, love, love! read more

After many months of waiting, we finally made time to check out Emmer & Rye. This place definitely lived up to the hype. We booked through OpenTable, used their valet (might only be available on the weekend) and sat at the counter that overlooks the kitchen. Every dish was packed with unique flavors & combos that you wouldn't normally see like cantaloupe & heirloom tomatoes or carrot cake with lemon curd, sorbet and salted cream. Really enjoyed the overall experience and vibe. Will definitely be back sooner than later. read more

What a great spot! Got a late night reservation and it was so worth it. We got to try a bunch of small plates and the variety was great. The Emmer & Rye old fashion is the best one in Austin. read more

A light 5 stars! Had an amazing experience and our servers recommendations were spot on. I've got to say, do make a reservation as it can get a bit busy. We ordered the johnny cakes, the berkshire pork, roasted cabbage, and the ravioli. I have to say the star of the show was the least expected- the roasted cabbage! I'm not a huge fan of vegetables but this one blew me away. The blend of sauces with jalapeno, cilantro, and the cabbage grilled to perfection with garlic aioli was absolutely amazing. This is the dish i would come back for 10/10. The johnny cakes were my second favorite, it being fluffy and the dip was amazing. The pork was a bit underwhelming and a little over salted- so although it paired nicely with the cabbage i would not get it again. The ravioli was rather very light and the hint of lemon went well with it. Overall i'd recommend this place and give it another try! read more

Great end to our daughter's 21st on Rainey. After allot of loud and rocking bars, took her to Emmer& Rye for a final espresso martini, great service, relaxed vibes and air conditioning! As always, a great job by the staff, welcoming, fun and gave her an extra treat for her Bday! Highly recommend and the food is awesome as well, but just drinks tonight! read more

Farm to table but with so many distinctly different dishes. Do not sleep on this place, especially the pappardelle. And the bread plate. And the johnny cakes. And the non-alcoholic drinks. And the sorbet. Let's face it- nothing was left. read more

Wow what a nice place! Good: - Super aesthetic and modern interior - felt like it was special the moment we walked in - super energetic staff, they all convinced us to try the Gulf of Mexico set course - each dish was different, my favorites were the cabbage, the mushroom risotto, the ceviche and the oysters. Every dish was unique and so so tasty. Bad - A little expensive for the portions we got, but overall I didn't regret getting the Gulf of Mexico! Overall loved this place as a romantic date location for me and my boyfriend! read more

Amazing food and service. Good cocktail selection with interesting options. Loved both of the ones I tried "Come & Take It" and "Moon Dance". Both very good. We shared the oysters, crudo, French ravioli and Texas Wagyu Steak. All delicious!! Small portions so we probably could have ordered another but they do require you to order all at once, which I am not a fan of. Overall recommend and hope to come back to try more! Their menu changes daily! read more

Anniversary dinner. Thanks, for the warm welcome and complimentary bubbles. Attractive place with attractive people. No parking. Uber/Lyft/walk. Indoor/outdoor spaces. Love the farm to market concept. Go with the chef's menu. You'll get a better variety. Sommelier on site is great. Monthly themes. Check the menu weekly. Duck and rabbit...Bring it Elmer. You can't catch Bugs. Food was great. Service was great, although maybe a little too attentive. It's loud (or we're old). It's pricey (but worth it). read more

Had a lovely dinner on the patio. Service was warm and professional. Server kept us from over ordering which we appreciated. Hard to single any one thing out because everything was so good. I will say the pbj ice cream with red amino spread and peanut crunch was just so perfect it deserves a mention. Also the house cultured butter spreads for the bread service were unique and amazing. Will return! read more

Oh. Em. Gee. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could... I already can't wait to go back. Staff was incredibly hospitable and knowledgeable about all food/drinks, ambiance was very posh, and presentation as well as taste of every dish was incredible. We walked here from the hotel nearby we were staying at, but there is street parking available (no lot). Cocktails not pictured, but very creative drink menu with ample selections. I'd highly recommend the Moon Dance! That was the best Wagyu Tartare I've ever had in my life. read more

It's rate this place as a 3.5, because it's pretty average food and very overpriced for what it is...but it's still worth a try and I'm glad we've checked it off. The ambience is nice, and I love how child friendly and date friendly it is. The tuna crudo was fresh and delicious. I recommend it. The beef tartare was good but not the best since it was a bit chewy. Their version of caccio e' Pepe was definitely yummy, but nothing you can't create yourself at home (just add a ton of butter and cheese and there you go). The wagyu steak was a miss.... It was the worst Wagyu we've ever had and the fact it was $125 just poured salt in the wound. The texture was incredibly tough and chewy. The only good thing about the dish was the white sauce, which kind of made up for it since it was the best I've had. We ended the evening with the lemon sorbet and which was so fresh and delicious! It was refreshing and light, I'd recommend ending your meal with this. Overall the service was great, my only feedback is that it just felt a bit salesy at times when they kept trying to upsell us on the wagyu steak. read more

I give it two stars for the ambiance and service that was decent/good. I am taking three away for the food and pricing. I would have taken pics of the food but none of it looked good as much as none of it tasted good. My fiancé got the bread which he loved and it had a neat presentation. That's about it. Who charges almost $50 for the chicken dish? More expensive than the fish and the other dishes... anyway we chose two dishes- the fish dish and pork/lamb dish which were both over $40 each... I normally wouldn't complain about pricing except it was not worth it AT ALL. I've never been to a restaurant that I didn't like the food. Usually it's the other way around- I'll complain about service or something, but this food was not appetizing- I couldn't even finish it. The dish tasted so fishy and off with some weird clear-ish white gravy sauce on it. Then the lamb/pork dish tasted like beans... it was weird. Like meatballs kind of with just weird flavors. Not flavors you'd think would be in $40+ dishes. I ate at this place a long time ago and the food was amazing... not sure what happened to them but I will not be eating here again. Oh and the overly expensive wine glasses... $20 each with horrible options. Almost all were from California. California wine sucks. Should put some Argentina, Spanish, Italian in there. They only had one that was French that was overpriced for the tiny pours they give you. At the very least give people decent pours! I know austin to be overpriced for everything but usually at least the food is good... this was overpriced and not good. Sorry guys but it's the truth! Hate to bash a restaurant instead of boosting them up, but it was a painful experience. read more

We had an amazing experience last night. Menu always changes so take what you see on the socials with a grain of flakey salt - seasonal and full of flavor is what you can expect. One of the chefs mentioned that, because they use local (Texas) ingredients, dishes will change and ingredients will too. Garlic isn't available year-round so they need to do creative things to preserve! Fascinating discussion. Sitting at the chefs counter gave us an up close view of the food, process, and communication (through food) without speaking! Pictures speak for themselves - but French ravioli (with the parm whey) was incredible, 8-Ball squash amazing, and Blueline Tilefish was delicate and superb! Thanks to Sarah, Alex, and the team for an epic evening! read more

As someone who considers themselves a true foodie, I had high expectations walking into this restaurant--especially since it boasts a green star. Unfortunately, it missed the mark on every level. To start, we had an 8:30 PM reservation, yet we were left waiting around for a table upon arrival. Once seated, it took a noticeable amount of time before our server even came over to take our drink order. We started with the pappardelle, which was bland and lacked any real depth of flavor. Things got worse when the kitchen sent out the wrong dish entirely, causing another delay while we waited for our original order--the lamb and pork carnitas. When they finally arrived, the meat was underwhelming, and we were only given three tortillas for what was supposed to be a taco dish. Asking for additional tortillas resulted in an upcharge, which we didn't mind, but it just felt a bit ridiculous given the nature of the plate. We also ordered two glasses of the Cabernet, but both were completely flat and tasteless. Rather than send them back, we just left them untouched. To end the meal, we tried the carrot cake--which, at $15, felt like an overpriced joke. It was dry, tiny, and tasteless. We each took two bites and left the rest. When I made a comment about how small and dry it was, no one from the staff--or the manager--made an effort to apologize or acknowledge the issue. All in all, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. Overpriced, underwhelming, and poorly managed. A green star may be hanging above the door, but it certainly doesn't reflect what's happening on the plate. read more

We visited Austin recently, in search of exceptional dining. The recommendation: Emmer & Rye. This restaurant has been recognized by Michelin, granted the rating of Bib Gourmand, not quite a Michelin star rating, but prized nonetheless, granted for quality and consistency. The restaurant sits on Rainey, street parking difficult to find, though it seems valet parking may be available. We finally worked our way through the area road construction and found a nearby lot. We were visiting on a Saturday night and were immediately seated at our reserved time. The contemporary restaurant was bustling, but we noticed bar seating, tables and booths available. The open kitchen is seen fronting the dining room, a wall of wine separating two major areas of the restaurant. The ambient sound level was significant, not surprising given the large open area that describes the restaurant, the sound somewhat compromising our table conversation. Review of the menu confirmed what had been described: a menu of limited appetizers, limited second courses and limited entrees. This is a restaurant that features the "shareable menu", the limited nature allowing guests to fully explore the crafted offerings of the chef. The dining party selects a couple of items from the offered courses, and the selections are presented at center table, with the selections to be ...well...shared by the diners. Think BBQ family table dining, or sharing a mound of crawfish at Perino's in New Orleans, or sharing tapas at Toro Kitchen in San Antonio. This approachable notion of dining is growing in popularity with gastronomes, and it gives talented chefs free rein to ply their avante-garde skills. The menu at Emmer & Rye changes frequently. The eve of our visit, we selected Gulf Oysters and their Sourdough Bread. The oysters were presented on shell, beautifully seasoned and dressed with roe. Our group considered the appetizer excellent. Our waiter, Tre, recommended the sourdough bread, served with three differently seasoned butters, telling that this was the best in the city. We considered the bread...just OK. For second course, we selected the Gnocchetti and the Papardelle. The gnocchetti was presented with basil butter, peppers and pecorino. The flavors were exceptional, praised by our group. The papardelle was prepared wagyu with a tangy cream that we devoured. Next up: Carnitas and Texas Wagyu Steak. The carnitas were medallions of lamb and pork, served with sweet potato and candied nuts. We considered the carnitas slightly overcooked, but the flavor, especially the sweetness of the pecans complemented the dish. The Wagyu was presented as several slices, dressed with creamy mousse and garlic mojo. The protein was literally melt in the mouth, the flavors superb. Marjan after conversation with the sommelier, selected Oltrepo Pavese Pinot, a perfect selection for our dinner. We found the staff to be appropriately attentive, not intrusive, and we particularly found the sommelier (sorry, I cannot recall her name) well versed with their wines, and her perceptions completely matched the nuances of Marjan's preferences. A word about the "shared menu" restaurant. Some diners remarked that they left the restaurant "hungry". It is true, that portions are smaller, and when shared among diners, may not satisfy those in search of say, a 16 oz. ribeye. But if one is looking for true culinary bliss, the creative restaurant may be the answer. We totally enjoyed our dining experience, and we will definitely return. Marjan rates Emmer & Rye 5 origami boots. Enjoy Yelpers!! read more

I only had 2 nights in Austin so I wanted to find the best places for dinner. Emmer & Rye was recommended and what a solid recommendation it was. It was a solo meal so I kept it simple. Only had 2 menu items and it was a carb fest for sure. As a native New Yorker, I don't expect good sourdough bread when I'm on the road so that was a nice surprise, even served with 3 different homemade butters... Who does that ?.. Emmer & Rye does. I just got back from a 3 week trip in Italy so do I dare order the pasta in Texas ?... You betcha and let me say it was one of the best pasta dishes in recent memory. Flavors were popping. I feel for anyone who is stuck with gluten free menus and I overdosed on the stuff. Literally can't wait to go back and carbo load. read more

Inventive and tasty food at this spot on Rainey. After visiting multiple times over many years, can confirm that the flavor is a bit hit or miss. However, always great service and clearly a ton of care put into their dishes and their concepts. The Cacio e Pepe is a must try, anything on their "appetizer" menu is always a hit. Sit at their Chef's Counter for an immersive experience and the ability to chat with the chefs. read more

Ah Emmer & Rye... Could you BE any busier. For some reason we decided to go here on like the busiest of Friday nights. Anyways, we were able to score an outside table after finally (finally) finding parking way, way away. Watching the craziness pass us by while we dined- have to say, entertaining in itself. The food... the food here was actually quite good. The reason for the low review- we did the tasting menu. One little meat dish (to share) and the rest a bunch of leafy things. Now I like a good vegetarian course, but every course can't be vegetables. Anyways, total rip-off for the price... read more

Service was great, food was delicious. But the valet Devin need some work. 1) The guy was passive aggressive 2) the basic functions of valet are open your door, give you a ticket, park the car. He didn't open the door when we pulled up or when he brought the car back. 3) Especially If valet is $12 the bare minimum is to open the door. 4) Dinner was $300 but that was not an issue. The biggest issue was dealing with Devin's $2 service for $12. 5) less an issue but annoying to deal with, he had an AirPod in so you couldn't talk to him without him saying huh a bunch of times. Just unprofessional overall. Make your valet tips only if this is the kind of valet service you can expect. read more

Was in town for a friend's wedding and decided to check this place out. They were able to change our reservation day of to increase our party size. The lady on the phone was hospitable. Started off with a few cocktails (espresso martini, dirty martini, some of the house cocktails) which were all well made. They sent us a starter made of furikake cracker with what tasted like a bit of a ceviche. Nice start to the dinner. The oyster flight was really good. Never had an oyster flight like that before. 2 were raw, then one was smoked. Sourdough bread was worth it with the warm honey. So good. Also really enjoyed the cacio y Pepe. The mushroom and wagyu meat were interesting. Overall very nice dining experience read more

Man I really wanted to like this place. Came here last month for dinner after seeing all the glowing reviews and articles on almost every food blog site. I'll start off by saying the staff was wonderful from the host to the waiters. They all were very friendly, checked in often, and took my criticism very well. I was even comped an item off my final bill. The problem here is the food. We ordered about nine items between two people. Portions for the most part were small, drinks were good, but there was much left to be desired here. We ended up boxing almost everything up because it was so mid. - Crudo: strange choice to put corn on here. I get it's for a more unique texture with the corn themed farm to table vibe, but there are many other choices that work better. Also, $22 for four slices of snapper is abysmal. - Tartare: a bit stringy in texture, but it was tasty. Just gotta chop it more finely in the back kitchen. - Johnny Cakes: our waiter described them as little grilled cheeses but I'd say they're more like fluffy corny pancakes. Probably the best of the top third of the menu, but nothing to write home about. - Sourdough: too hydrated and hard to cut. The tallow butter leaned too heavily on the tallow side. Smoked honey was an interesting choice, hot honey would've been a better one. - Cacio e Pepe: it was a very average cacio e pepe. - Strozzapreti: do not order this. Way too much veg in proportion to pasta. Flavorless. - Grouper: best protein of the night on doneness, but that sauce was way too salty. - Berkshire pork: I've never had a drier piece of pork nor have seen it served on so much veg. This was what the waiter ended up comping for us. - Duck breast: cooked both blue and medium for some reason. Average tasting, boring sauce. For about $300 before tip, this was not a good dinner as far as the food was concerned. The staff was what brought this up to a 2/5 read more

Had a great experience at Emmer and Rye, we started with the Johnny Cakes, and then got two pastas (Pappardelle and Tagliolini) and ended with the Grouper, the Berkshire Pork, and the Carnitas alongside the sourdough (was pleasantly surprised by how good the sourdough was). We were a bit unsure when ordering because the menu descriptions are somewhat vague, but everything ended up tasting great. If I had to give one criticism it would be that the dishes are advertised as "family style"/shareable but they don't give you any serving utensils, so we were using our own spoons repeatedly across each dish to serve ourselves. A fresh plate and silverware in between the pastas and the entrees would have also helped. read more

This used to be a great spot, but the quality of food and service has plummeted from the peak two years ago. The last two times we've visited the food came in an odd order (bread came towards final course). The carrot dish we ordered was undercooked and extremely tough to chew. The pre dinner broth they give you tastes like a vegetable flavored LMNT packet. Everything was overwhelmed by salt. The cocktails taste like something you'd get at a college bar. The restaurant feels like it's trying to be upscale, but missing critical details and quality. Considering the abundance of choice we have in Austin, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

I have yet to find a place in Austin better than this. From the service to the cocktails to the food. This is the perfect place for a date night, celebration, or just because. I don't get why they don't have a star yet read more

A year later, Emmer & Rye is still hands down a top 3 favorite restaurant of ours in all of Austin. The food is always on point, but it's the service that really makes the experience. We were sent a few dishes to try that we wouldn't normally order which made it that much more enjoyable for us. I can't say enough good things about this spot, I could go on and on, but I want you to just go and see for yourself. I am still reminiscing months later about the cocktails they surprised us with. Will come back just for these and the cacio e pepe, always the people's favorite! Big shoutout to Zenil for all of his hospitality. He is the reason we will always come back! read more

To start off with, I'm a beer drinker. They had ONE beer choice. Not what I wanted, but I settled. It took 40 minutes to get the beer that I ordered. The waitress was hardly there. The food is seriously overpriced. It was tasty but the prices were ridiculous. I ended up being $80 per person and that was with the ONE beer. read more

Seasonal farm to table menu. All locally grown food. Prepared artfully and plated beautifully. Extremely creative in the chefs combination of ingredients. The wait staff very attentive and explained every ingredient and how the dish was prepared. Great vibe! The Broccoli with smoked egg, yum! Cacio E Pepe spaghetti, yum!

This is my new obsession. I came here last weekend and made a very last minute reservation at the bar. The service was out of this world. Bartender was friendly and super knowledgeable. Even the server bringing out the food did an amazing run down of everything. The bartender made me a few off the menu cocktails. I got the grapefruit cocktail on the menu 7/10 and I don't even like grapefruit. She offered this cherry lime aid cocktail 10/10. We started with the snapper crudo. Just wow. This was by far the best crudo I've ever had in my life. The flavors and textures were so on point. I could've just ate that and been completely happy. 10000/10. Then we got the bread. The bread and dipping components were good. However, I don't think I would get it again. They have so many other options that bread just seems basic compared to the rest. However the bread was perfectly prepared and so were the sides. 6/10. The woman next to me at the bar sold me on ordering the Cacio e Pepe. And wow. It was divine. 10/10. For desert the bartender offered the option of this ice cream with chips dusted in chocolate? Idk but wow. It was salty and sweet. It was the absolute perfect mixture. The atmosphere is relaxing and beautiful. My only regret is not ordering more. read more

Another fabulous dinner in Austin. We were seated the Chef's Table at Emmer & Rye in the Rainey Street neighborhood. We got to see the chefs in action and chat with a few. I would call the menu Modern American farmhouse food. "Emmer wheat" is an heirloom grain that is milled fresh for house made pastas, breads, and desserts, and whole animal butchery is done on site. The care and creativity with each dish shows! We wanted to try everything from the small, but mighty menu. We shared two starters and two entrees, but the chef sent out a few extras. The sommelier made perfect wine pairings and the service was top-notch. Can't wait to go back to this place! read more

Unfortunately, while Emmer & Rye is a beautifully curated restaurant with (albeit fake but) friendly service, the food remains subpar. I think there's a lot of potential to this restaurant, but the flavors just didn't taste right and the meat quality didn't feel as fresh as they had suggested. My friends and I were in the area and excited to try this James Beard award-winning restaurant. We were quickly sold on the tasting menu ($75pp) after hearing their farm-to-table spiel. The dishes were interesting, but not very well thought out. It felt as though they were more interested in trying to be unique at the expense of clashing flavors. They touted "fermentation" as a buzzword at the restaurant, but many times the kimchi / pickles were overly sour - suggesting that they may have been fermenting for too long. Not only did most of the dishes not make sense, but the overall order of the courses also lacked consideration. Bread was served mid-way through, dishes did not seem to have any cohesion or story, and waiters and waitresses often tried to grab our dishes before we were finished. It felt strange to me that the pasta dishes were served alongside each other and before the main protein. We ordered a bottle of Syrah, which multiple servers commented about as "such a great wine", but it was honestly very unpleasant to drink. I would say my favorite dish was the smokey potatoes. I also liked their desserts a lot as well. As for the other parts of the tasting course - as I said to my friends - I felt like I was sitting through a bad massage. At first you're excited, quickly confused, and then just ready to leave. read more

My sister and I were excited to return to Emmer & Rye as we previously enjoyed a lovely meal with our family. This time we ordered two pastas and the melon appetizer. The melon appetizer was slightly disappointing (not pictured). The pastas were still incredible, and they even surprised us with an extra "free" cacio de pepe! We ended the light dinner with their berry dessert which was ironically the BEST out of everything. As usual, service was great and the restaurant is cozy and not too hot in the Austin temperatures. read more
