An Austin classic. I'll never say no to a brunch at Kerbey. Although I prefer the Guad location just out of tradition, the Mueller Kerbey is great too. As always, you need to get the Kerbey queso any time you go. That's just the law of the land. I also got their sweet potato enchilada which wasn't bad just pretty salty. To top it all off, we got a pumpkin pancake which was so fluffy and sweet.

We placed our party of 4pm on the online waitlist on Sunday afternoon and arrived at 1pm. Parking was a little tough since that was during the Mueller Farmers Market. There was still about a 20-minute wait. We got sat in a booth and ordered within a few minutes. We waited about 20-30 minutes, then the manager came to our table and apologized for the wait, even though we had not even know we were waiting that long. My family's breakfast orders came before my dinner order of salmon came out. The food was delicious. The manager told us she had comped the whole meal since we had "waited so long", and even gave us a $20 dollar gift card to use at another visit. I guess karma was good to us that day, because we had not even complained about a single thing. Management and service at this branch is awesome! They sure do know how to take care of a party and make sure we keep on coming back!

I highly recommend taking advantage of the early morning happy hour at this establishment. It's a fantastic way to start the day with a selection of delightful beverages at a great value. Additionally, the salmon dish is exceptional and a must-try for anyone visiting. The ambiance of the place is truly lovely, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that enhances the overall dining experience. The service was prompt and efficient, ensuring that your needs were met quickly and without any hassle. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for a memorable meal. I've had this photo saved for a while!

Steak and fries
Tahir N.

This place was good for our party of six on a Saturday morning. They didn't have a Negroni on the menu, but they were able to make something similar using the aperol and gin they had on hand. I had the steak and fries, and it was prepared. Well brought to the table sliced, and the truffle fries were delicious. If you want the steak, a little hotter, you can ask them to bring you some of the yellow bird habanero. Everyone else enjoyed their food, the vegetarians included Definitely a place to come back

I went on a Sunday and it was packed! Make sure to go early to put your name down. There's a farmers market on Sundays so it's nice to walk around while I was waiting. Once we got seated, we put it our order for food and drinks. Since it was so crowded, it did take a bit of time to get our food - 20 mins or so. What was surprising was our drinks came wayyyy after our food and we had to ask about the drinks. We ordered 3 drinks and only 2 came out and we had to wait an extra 10 minutes for the last drink. I got the kimchi beef and it was delicious! It had a nice kick and was refreshing with the kimchi. If you are okay with waiting for a while for the service and food, highly recommend this spot for its food.

More modern looking location than a usual Kerbeys. We got the current flavors for stacks the Gingerbread pancakes, which had a nice glaze and a gingerbread cookie taste, but were very dry and had to keep reapplying syrup. We also ordered the Migas plate, which was pretty good in contrast and comes with black beans and rice. We were asked if we wanted the Bloody Mary spicy, but I think the only spice it had was on the rim. They offer a classic Austin hot sauce, Yellow Bird for spicing up your items. We got seated pretty fast at around 10am on a Thursday and our server was very attentive and accurate. It took a long time for our coffees and bloody Mary's to come out, but it didn't seem to be the waiters fault he was waiting on the kitchen. The bathrooms were clean and looked nice.

Been to kerbey several times but this most recent visit cemented it as five stars. The wait was long because it was Mother's Day and farmers market, but we utilized the waitlist, and it wasn't bad all things considered. So many great options for all diets, prices are reasonable, portions are great. The salmon was tasty, fresh, and basil mash potatoes are a family fave. The pancakes and breakfast options were so yummy too, and always amazing vegan options (pancakes, chocolate cakes, tacos, etc. Atmosphere is always such a highlight for me, and the waitstaff to a great job. One of my fave morning or late night diner spots in austin!!

Crispy Chicken Benedict*
Suki Z.

Swung by Mueller's Fall Fest and decided to return to Kerbey Lane for their Crispy Chicken Benedict with a side of fries. Definitely tasted as good as I remembered- the sauce wasn't too spicy and had a tiny bit of a kick. Only unfortunate thing was that I bit into some egg shells. It was incredibly busy from what I could see. There was a 25-30 min wait for 2 and we got seated at the bar. There was still glasses from the previously seated patrons. Definitely enjoyed the food, little disappointed about the egg shells but totally understandable. Was too stuffed to try out items from their dessert menu but that just gives another reason to come back!

Kerbey Lane is an Austin classic and hadn't been in a while. Their prices are affordable for brunch and good portion sizes. You also can't beat $4 mimosas! We got the Crispy Chicken Benedict, Chicken & Pancakes, Queso, and a side of homefries. The food was good, but nothing special. This location is extremely crowded - we waited an hour and a half on the weekend to be seated and service was slow. For a wait this long, I would rather take my chances at one of the more popular, unique places in town.

came to kirby lane after the farmers market nearby - it's been a while since i last went. honestly, i wish i hadn't gone back. ordered an iced chai tea latte, and it was soooo watered down. like, imagine the end of a drink when all the ice has melted - but that was the first sip. the menu said "award-winning housemade chai," but idk what award they're talking about. got the texas benedict ($15.49), which was supposed to come with a breakfast side. i asked for candied bacon, but the waitress said it was extra. turns out, a lot of the "breakfast sides" are extra. menu wasn't clear about what's included vs. what costs more, which was frustrating. ended up going with broccoli as my side (lol). overall, didn't hit the marks at all. probably won't come back.

Lemon poppyseed toast platter
Joy G.

Wasn't super impressed with brunch here. We came on a Sunday morning, and there's always a lot of people waiting so we had higher hopes. Luckily we didn't wait long, but unfortunately service was slow and the food was so-so. We ordered our eggs sunny side up, but it came cooked over-easy instead. The eggs were also very greasy (literally a pool of oil at the bottom), and the portion of bacon and sausage was a disappointment. The pancake and the French toast were good, but very sweet and difficult to finish because of how dense it was. Overall it seems like a standard diner/brunch spot, nothing to write home about though. Perhaps we should have ordered different dishes, but given the simple breakfast orders we got the quality is not there and I think it's overpriced for what you get.

Migas**
Tracey Z.

We came on a Saturday morning for brunch. Had to wait like 30 minutes for a table. Our waitress was very busy, she was running around like crazy. We got our order pretty fast though. My tortillas never came with my migas but I was still charged for them. The migas were good, very filling.

Friendly staff overall. The food fell flat for almost all of us. The salads were fresh and good. However, the ribs were below average. Cornbread was stale and not tasty. Biscuits tasted more like firm bread and not at all flaky/soft. That seemed weird to all of us. Chicken fried steak was soggy and not crispy. Drinks were ok. Not quite sure why the food was subpar, but there were 10 of us who all agreed we wouldn't return for food. There is a swanky little cozy speakeasy in the basement that may be good? We didn't try that.

We absolutely recommend coming here and getting fajitas or enchiladas or Barbacoa quesadillas maybe all of the above if you bring enough people because it's all delicious! The restaurant itself is very well kept and clean. It does get a little bit loud, but that's only because it's always packed to the doors. Mama Betty's has a really fun outdoor patio space and always has great music playing. It's an awesome establishment to bring families kids Little League teams, office meetings whatever you want you won't disappoint anybody you bring. No matter who we have gotten as far as the wait staff they have all been extremely friendly, kind and helpful when it came to choosing something on the menu--everybody here has a wonderful and warm personality. They really have put together a home run of a restaurant and I hope that they stay around for a long time. Last, but not least the drinks are outstanding, and everything is very competitively and fairly priced. If you haven't tried it and are worried about it being packed come during the weekday at lunch.

Went on Sunday after Easter service because we were craving something a friend brought us during a…read morerecent meal train but felt it a bit lacking. First, the menu needs a rewrite for content and clarity. For example, buying fajitas doesn't list guacamole and based on size, single, for two and family you get more sides of rice or beans. There's no definition of how much actual meat you get and our server couldn't provide that information beyond a rough estimate. Second, the fajitas we got of family size and for two portions for 7 were not consistently cooked. We asked for medium rare and got about 25% at that with the ones in the center at a more well done. Again, the multiple tiny sides were more obnoxious than anything as it's legit beans and rice unless you want to upcharge. The cilantro lime rice tastes like nothing so skip that and go for abuelita rice which has a hint of flavor. Overall, the butter/gravy that go on the fajitas is the real winner but again a menu where you overbuy and misunderstand (that doesn't even list extras like guacamole or a simple small queso) was beyond frustrating. I would stick to them for one to possibly get a better cook.

I've driven by El Alma many times being in the Austin area, but I never went until last Thursday, and after surviving a brief monsoon, I was glad to get a few drinks and eat some good TexMex with my large party just before a wedding. The best way to describe El Alma is that it is TexMex that is Austinified. Everything feels a little more unique and special than your classic TexMex options. I started off with a Mezcal Margarita that put a little hair on my chest and got me going. My group ordered two of their Nachitos, which were these nice nachos. For my main entrée, I got 3 Al Pastor tacos on corn with a side of their rice and beans. Their pastor was served with pineapples, onions, and cilantro with limes on the side. They were great and I immediately crushed them all. I thought their rice and beans were pretty good as well and a step above the typical TexMex rice and beans. The server was pretty attentive throughout our whole visit, and I honestly have no complaints about what they had to offer. Pricing on the meal and drinks was pretty standard for Austin, and I didn't think anything really took me out of the experience. On top of that, for being in Barton Springs, there is quite a bit of parking. I would love to come back at some point in the future and hang out on their rooftop bar because that seems like a lot of fun. Shoutout to El Alma for being a TexMex oasis saving me from the MoPac traffic. RIYL: TexMex, but better than your average
