Honestly, I came here with my family and a couple of friends and we all loved it! I was very surprised to see a lot of bad reviews because this place had very good and high quality food, great service, and a fun and family friendly ambiance! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Hillside Farmacy is a vibe - pleasant staff, lovely decor, and wonderful food and mixed drinks. Justin took such extraordinary care of us - he made us feel like we were eating at a friend's house. They have created the consummate neighborhood experience. I really need to come here more often! Join their newsletter as they dream up some excellent specials. Don't sleep on their afternoon happy hour offerings. Lastly, I forgot they created some outdoor dining spaces in front and on the side. Support this awesome eatery! read more

Hillside Farmacy - Side dining patio. Great music playlist! - New American Near Me - Austin, Texas

Had an awful experience 5 years ago, and another one today: they have an arbitrary happy hour, where they have 10 seats... if you aren't sitting in those 10 seats, you pay double--make that make sense? The tall male host in the red shirt is wildly condescending and unhelpful. Apparently if he likes you, he'll reserve you a table at the high top, which you can't do online. So we decide to sit outside and pay double the price, and while our friends have half a glass of wine in front of them, our server comes up to us twice and says "your bill still hasn't been paid". A truly wild experience. It's a shame, as I told the manager last time how great the place has become... funny how one person can go and ruin it. Oh well--Loudmouth next door has a great all night happy hour on the same day, no matter where you're seated! :) read more

I had a nice time here. Went for a group dinner. On Wednesday, they have a burger and old fashioned combo for around $20. They let me sub the old fashioned out for a lemonade. The burger was really tasty and so were the fries. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food came out fast. They have parking in the back, which is a huge plus. It's also a cute restaurant. read more

We waited 30 mins from sit down until we got our food. And until then, no utensils. We had to grab the sets from the table next to us. The menu is simple and lack creativity. The food is decent though. read more

We wandered in on a Sunday morning and got seated right away on their little patio. It's a cool, quiet vibe--easy going but classy. Felt like we were on vacation. The menu keeps it simple, which I like--no huge list to stress over. We split the Fried Egg Sandwich and a pancake with blueberry compote. Also grabbed a Strawberry Pimm's Cup cocktail and a cappuccino. Everything was tasty and hit the spot. The sandwich was good, pancake was light but filling, and the drinks were solid. The servers were super friendly and kept an eye out to see if we needed anything. We'll definitely swing by again to try more stuff off the menu. Good find in East Austin. read more

Truffle white bean dip -- I'm sad to report this wasn't a good call. Didn't taste the truffle, and the bread was like a rock of a crostini. Coulda been better with a softer vessel? But we went for $25 steak night. Mashed potatoes honestly were super gas, steak was mod. It was one of those meals where you're like "yea I mean this is fine but I could have made better at home for half the price" ‍ Wish I had something better to say because they seem super nice but this is the cold hard truth, buster. read more

Great place for brunch! The interior is unique as this used to be an actual pharmacy. Inside and outdoor seating available! We sat outside to enjoy the nice weather and got the eggs Benedict and buttermilk pancakes. Both were yum! My husband normally doesn't eat pancakes (think they're too sweet) but this tasted amazing and not overly sweet! Very filling too. Can't go wrong with Eggs Benedict! I always enjoy flocking through the poached egg. So satisfying! I think there aren't many options on the menu, but it is still a solid brunch spot. Street parking. read more

I was surprised to see the mediocre reviews! My experience at Hillside Farmacy was delightful. My girlfriend and I visited for a date night; we loved the romantic bistro vibes and fun decor. The restaurant was packed at 8pm on a Friday evening. Insulation in here isn't great - it's LOUD. This was a little frustrating but the food and drinks made up for it. Drinks: I ordered a mezcal drink which was phenomenal, and my girlfriend got the grapefruit jalapeño margarita which was a little too strong/spicy IMO. Food: - Half dozen oysters - served beautifully with all the sauces and fixings. Tasty! - Arancini balls in a marinara sauce - 3 to a portion. I found these to be flavorful and filling. - cheeseburger and fries - this is easily one of the best cheeseburgers in Austin. Simple but absolutely epic. The hand cut fries were excellent as well. We had a great time here and look forward to returning soon! read more

I came here for a bachelorette trip and the vibes were immaculate. Our server was super nice and helpful. I ordered the eggs benedict and it was delicious!

Hillside Farmacy - Classic Benny - New American Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place felt nostalgic due to the gorgeous revamp of the historic hillside pharmacy. The decor was very pretty and kind of cozy. The service is was nice and our waiter was very attentive. We went around 10:30am. My fiance got the fried egg sandwich and said the avocado & bread was great, but the overall sandwich lacked seasoning. There were no salt & pepper shakers on the tables but I'm sure we could have asked. The poboy was very delicious, I asked for some lemons and it took it to a solid 5 stars. You get the option with the sandwiches to get fries or Cesar salad as the side. I chose Cesar salad for a lighter brunch. Overall I would come back if I'm ever in the area to try something else on the menu and I would recommend coming for a bite! read more

My first visit to Hillside Farmacy for brunch was lackluster - poor service, not many options, and it was just so crowded. However, I later went for dinner and it totally changed my perspective. The inside is full of darling and unique decor that feels like an old school pharmacy and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was totally on point. Plus, the service was excellent. read more

Hillside Farmacy - Fun cocktail for the table - New American Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have mixed feelings about Hillside Farmacy. I first discovered them when they had a brunch bag on TooGoodToGo. The brunch food always slapped, so I knew I had to come in here for real one day. Recently they were added to inKind, so I've been 4 times to try their various specials. On Sundays they have a $25 steak frites deal. The steak was just OK and they wouldn't let me sub the fries for something healthier, so off to a not great start. On Wednesday they came to life with a $20 burger & Old Fashioned. Incredible deal. The burger was a bit better than the steak but didn't blow me away and I think it was just too much bun for me. I'd go again at this price, though. On Thursday is the best special though, all day happy hour. I had $1.50 oysters, a $3.50 Kolsch, and a couple other cheap bites. I went one more time to get a caesar salad for lunch and it was the saddest caesar salad I've had. It was like a wedge salad with a bit of cheese on top, very disappointing. Service is good, some employees are paying more attention than others it seems as I've sat and waited for the check at least one of the three times while they chatted with someone else. But everyone's friendly. As a neighborhood spot, I'll round up from a 3.5* to a 4*. The decor is really cute if you're into that sort of thing. read more

This is a good go to for an intimate or elevated dinner. The inside is beautiful and the patio is really lovely when the weather is nice. The food is reliably good, and they change the menu up fairly often, rotating in dishes based on seasonality. The cocktail menu is also fun and interesting. I have found the service can be little slow and hit or miss, but nothing that turns me off coming here. They also have a decent happy hour and a steak and martini deal I've heard people talk about. This place has staying power in Rosewood, so add it back into your rotation! read more

This is such a cool and niche place to visit! We had to wait for a table about an hour so we popped into this wonderful little bar! It was great and they sat us immediately! The ambiance was really unique like an old school pharmacy. The ambiance was really unique and since it's close to Halloween they had it decorated for the holiday. I got an Affogato and it was delicious! My friend got an old fashioned and said it was pretty good! Parking is difficult to find but they do have paid parking kind of close by. The tab was not unreasonable, we will be back for brunch! read more

Really good experience! We weren't sure what we wanted for lunch and decided to pop into Hillside for a quick casual spot. We really enjoyed our experience! I had the bloody Mary, which was great and the chicken sandwich which I can confidently say as an avid chicken sandwich lover this was truly one of the best I have ever had. I have extremely high standards for food and for me to say that this is one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had is huge. It was perfectly cooked, flavorful and well balanced, and I quickly added it to my list of best bites of 2026. Service was great. Our waiter could not have been friendlier and more accommodating and the ambience was perfect for a nice lunch. I would 100% recommend Hillside to anyone in the area and will be coming back for that chicken sandwich next time I'm in Austin. read more

Stopped twice in one week! It's a cute spot in an old pharmacy. The decor really does a great job reminding you of an old timey pharmacy complete with different bottles and a side fountain. Came for brunch on a Saturday with a friend and loved the bruleed gaprefruit and the fried egg sandwich. Thought everything was good and noticed they had a Wednesday night burger special that I decided to come back for with my husband. Hesitant to post this for fear of it getting too popular but Wednesday night burger special is where it's at!! As I'm currently pregnant and hunting for the top cheeseburger in Austin this one is ranked pretty high on my scale! The burger had great queslity and flavor with a good mix of all toppings where each one really shined and came together to make an amazing experience. The fries were also fresh cut and had a good balance of salt. We came here before a show at bass concert hall and it made for the perfect date night. Service was quick and attentive but you can tell there are regulars for the burger night --might be me soon read more

We came here for the popular $25 steak frites sunday night dinner. Just as a warning, you will need a reservation cause it got packed quick. Apparently this was an old pharmacy that got converted to a restaurant and it was really cool to see the different architecture and decor. As for the food itself, the fries were definitely the best part. Super crispy and seasoned well. The portion sizes were generous and the medium rare steak was juicy and chewy just how I like it. However, the chimichurri sauce was really lacking and did not add any flavor. So it was pretty much just fries and a bland steak. I'm glad I came though and recommend people to at least try it for a well priced steak dinner. read more

I had a great dinner experience here with my wife. I love the Sunday Steak Dinner special for $25. Such a great value for an amazing meal. I always appreciate farm to table restaurants that incorporate fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The indoor space felt cozy and intimate while the outdoor patio allows you to enjoy the nice weather. The service was great as well. Definitely a place to try! read more

A childhood friend of mine suggested we dine here while I was in Austin visiting. I'm glad she recommended it because everything was a 10 out of 10 from the service to the food. I loved the ambience and decor it really lived up to its name. We came during happy hour and all of the appetizers were on special, I'm a huge oyster girly so we ordered a dozen and they were so good I felt like I was back in New Orleans! The crab cake was perfection the charcuterie board was amazing the mac & cheese was good, the only thing I didn't like was the steak tartare with the raw egg, I should've skipped that. We had bottle service and ordered rosé it was really good. My baby enjoyed coloring and loved their mac & cheese. I really wish we had a location in Dallas! Can't wait to go back 10/10 recommend. read more

We came in on a whim after being unable to get into Paperboy next door. The steak and eggs ($26) were excellent. The steak was perfectly cooked, the chimichurri was fresh and flavorful, and the potatoes were crispy and addictive. Everyone really enjoyed the drinks, the buttermilk pancakes ($12), and the baked brie ($16). The interior is cute and stylish, with some outdoor seating as well. The staff was attentive. read more

From the salt and pepper shakers that look like vials of medication to the decor on the walls. We shared a burger, which was very good but a little rare for my taste. They didn't ask how we wanted the burger, which would have been a nice touch. The fries were fresh and cooked just right. Very tasty and crispy. Overall great meal and will be on our rotation! read more

The place is absolutely beautiful and very aesthetically pleasing -- definitely a great spot to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. The drinks were good and strong, which I appreciated. However, the service took quite a while (around 40 minutes). I also ordered yogurt with "homemade granola," but it appeared to just be Nutri-Valley bars, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, you're mostly paying for the ambiance -- lovely setting, decent food, but not necessarily standout for the menu or service. Still ate the food, not horrible. read more

The hype is real at this place! Love the aesthetic of this place as it used to be a pharmacy (I'm a pharmacist and this is so intriguing to me!). I don't usually go to places twice but this place is a few exceptions. I've been here for brunch and dinner and I've loved both menu. This is great for date night or small group gatherings. It isn't that big so I would avoid big groups. The portions are just enough, I wanted more but it's best to savory the meal than to overeat! Definitely recommend this place for brunch or dinner! read more

service was a bit slow but good nonetheless. We got the crab cake- best crab cake I've had in my whole life. I would return just to have it again. We also got the chicken and steak. Both were alright. 2/5. The risotto was very sweet and the green beans were not cooked through so very crunchy. The steak just wasn't good. The drinks were alright as well. We received a complimentary frozen marg for my friends birthday, those were really good and a nice treat. I would return just for the crab cake really. Nice restaurant though. read more

I had mid-week brunch at Hillside Farmacy with a girlfriend. We both got the Pickpocket, one of their signature fountain drinks made with strawberry and basil. It was the perfect refreshing beverage for a 100°+ day. For brunch, I opted for the Hillside Eggs Benedict which came with a side of potatoes and added a small side of fruit. The eggs were perfectly poached and the smokey chipotle hollandaise and spinach was a unique spin on a classic breakfast dish. Service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was formerly a pharmacy in the 1920s and was restored in 2011 to its current beautiful self. There's lots of unique vintage items scattered throughout the restaurant. We sat next to a beautiful bookshelf full of vintage medical books. Make a reservation for Hillside Farmacy. It's definitely worth the wait. read more

The service could have been better. We went for a weekday lunch. The hostess/server who sat us could not tell us the soup of the day. The food was very good.

My friend and I originally wanted to go to Paperboy, but the wait there was an hour and a half long, so the hostess sent us down to this place. It was mediocre at best. I love the concept of a pharmacy turned into a restaurant, but the food was overpriced, my food was made incorrectly, and considering you are paying $15 for a little egg sandwich, they could've thrown a side in with it. It was not a place I would return to. read more

This was my first time here, and I decided to try it out since they had a Wednesday Burger Special: $20 for a burger, fries, and an Old Fashioned. We ordered an appetizer in addition to our burger. The steamed mussels with the white wine sauce were very tasty. I would have liked the sauce to have been a tad creamier. That would be my only ding on the sauce The burger was rather tasty and filling. My only ding is that it was a bit overcooked and not medium as requested. However, everything else was excellent. The fries that accompanied the burger were very appealing to the palate. I am not much of a bourbon drinker, so the Old Fashion was new for me. It was stronger than I was expecting haha, however, it went down well. One suggestion might be to have the option to substitute for another cocktail of equal or lesser value. The ambience was wonderful. It had a rustic look to it and the piped in jazz music added more flair to the surroundings. Service was great from the minute we walked in and throughout our dining experience. The Brunch Menu piqued my interest, so I will return to partake. read more
