    Farm sandwich tomato soup
    Michelle V.

    Great spot for quick healthy lunch I love the farm sandwich - can come with gluten free bread if you need it too! The tomato basil soup is delicious - I like to do half sandwich and soup usually Service is great, quick and easy order at the front and they'll bring it out to you. Very clean inside and easy parking lot situation! The guava lemonade is also really good Only downside is pretty pricey but great ingredients

    After an intensive one-hour of exercise, I was starving. Well, not literally, but it felt like it at the moment. Mendocino Farms is about 3 minutes from my gym. I stopped by for the much touted Avocado and Quinoa salad (the only place I actually like quinoa). Everything about this salad is atypical. The salad is crunchy with enough textures to make every bite more interesting than the last. In addition, the salad is delicious from first to last bite. Yes, I ate the entire salad! Also, the salad dressing appears to be a hybrid of French dressing and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Whatever the ingredients, the salad dressing is quite good. While Mendocino farms was busy, it was quiet enough that folks were speaking at normal volumes. Anthony, the manager, was helpful to answer some of my questions. Overall, chill vibe... I grabbed my salad to go. Although my salad traveled across town, it was still quite tasty when I arrived home.

    I complained last time about the waiting time during peak hours. I thought perhaps it was unfair, so today I came back during non-peak hours and I was the only customer. I still waited 15+ mins for my to-go order? It's just a sandwich, how "fresh" can you make it that it takes so long?

    If you gotta have grease, stay out the kitchen. Cause you won't get it here Okay, so I'm shocked. I ordered the not so fried chicken sandwich with a potato salad and a cookie. I got the guava lemonade for my beverage. I expected my sandwich to be bigger. However, it was good and I didn't have to use my golden BBQ sauce. The sauce wasn't needed at all. The quality of the chicken was amazing. My potato salad was very good and flavorful. This is the best potato salad I've gotten at a restaurant and I'm a strict critic when it comes to potato salad. My chocolate chip cookie was just a cookie, I couldn't get it warmed. I love how no pops/sodas were present. The guava lemonade was amazinggg. Please sale a large jug of your housemade juices! Overall I enjoyed it. This is a good healthy lunch option! The service was really good as well. This location was busy and I still got my food in good timing.

    Goat salad

    We ordered the goat salad and a sandwich (forgot which one!). The ordering process went smoothly and pickup was quick and friendly. You just pick it up in the to-go section. We enjoyed the sandwich, but I preferred the salad. It was a good amount of food and very tasty! My only issue is the cost, it's on the pricey end. However, if you're in the area and looking for a sandwich or salad I think it's a solid choice.

    Chen's Crispy Rice Salad (top), Small Side of Spicy Curried Couscous (bottom)

    My friends from California told me that I HAD to try this chain that recently arrived in Austin, and man am I so glad I did! If you like Panera, you're going to absolutely LOVE this place -- it's like an elevated version of Panera that I didn't know I needed! I of course had to get the Chen's Crispy Rice Salad bowl (my last name is in the name of the salad haha) and don't let the takeout bowls mislead you...when you pour out the container, the portion size is much bigger than it looks lol. I did wish they were a bit more generous with the serving of chicken because the ratio was like 80% greens, 20% protein. Lastly, I tried their side of Spicy Curried Coucous because it sounded interesting and let me tell you...I don't like coucous but I sure did like this one haha! There is a nice spicy kick but the creamy curry flavor helped balance the spice in every bite. All in all, I will absolutely be back to try some other items on the menu!

    Visiting Mendocino Farms feels like visiting a Trader Joe's- overall clean with very friendly and helpful staff. Which is also California based. This elevated sandwiches and salads restaurant is right off the 1 on W William Cannon. I have been here a couple of times and this location has consistently excellent service and food. Enter and turn left to order. I love their digital menus in front of the registers because squinting at menus on screens behind registers is so 2024. The menu is right sized- enough variation for all diets and doesn't overwhelm with too many choices. Staff wear their favorite dish on their name badges and are happy to share recommendations. The Baja salad and Thai mango salad are *chef's kiss* and my current favs. I don't even need the dressings. The happy hippie sandwich is a quite saucey if you get it to go, get extra napkins if you're a car eater. The vegan banh mi, while not served on a traditional baguette, is a damn.good.sandwich. The fountain lemonades and green drink are delightfully refreshing but very sugary. Two roomy restrooms are in the back right to wash your hands before eating. It gets busy here at lunch but you can order in advance for pick up to shorten your wait! I used a BOGO coupon in person once and appreciated how smooth and seamless it was to redeem. I literally just handed it to the person at the register. Excellent fast casual eats and vibes.

    Fresh, fast, and healthy - Mendocino Farms (MF) is my kind of quick service restaurant concept. While I'm a North Austinite, I often pass through this South Austin neighborhood on the way to the Hill Country, so I had to stop in and check out this first Texas location. MF does California-style sandwiches, wraps, and salads with highest quality seasonal produce and proteins. If you know, you know. The west coast does not mess around with their veggies; it's a feature, not an afterthought. Other offerings include flavorful sides, sauces, homemade agua frescas, juices, and fruit-teas. Their motto since 2005 is "Eat Happy" and they deliver on it if you like fresh, nourishing "real" food. Do yourself a favor and pre-order online. We had a free entree coupon ($11.40 value) after setting up a My Mendo member account earlier this month. It was easy-peasy to set up a group order, send the link to everyone, submit before leaving home, and saunter up past the 15 or so people in the line to grab our bag from the Online Order shelf system. We sat on the shaded patio to enjoy our delicious 1/2 sammy & side combos. Everything was just as wonderful as I'd hoped: tender, juicy slices of chicken breast, generous portions of juicy tomatoes, super flavorful spreads, fresh breads with excellent textures, and sides that were tasty enough to stand alone as entrees. That Greek Chicken Lemon Farro soup will be my go-to order forever. Indoor dining area has about 10-12 tables, most are 2-tops that can slide together to create space for a larger group. The patio has more 4-6 seat tables. There are 2 unisex restrooms. Decor is modern-industrial with pops of blue and green and lots of mascot cows. All around, a pleasant experience. Now I'm counting the days until the next location opens up closer to my office in November! A note on pricing: this place ain't cheap. MF has high standards for using clean, as-local-as-possible ingredients and they work with ethical suppliers who pay their workers fairly. All this translates to a higher pricepoint. Still, it stings to see a $3.15 charge for a single serving bag of chips - yikes! You can get discounts by signing up for an online account and taking advantage of $11.40 1/2 sandwich combos & other special deals.

    Went to the soft launch at Mendocino Farms which is a family oriented restaurant that specializes in creative sandwiches, salads and more take you on an unexpected culinary adventure with fresh ingredients and fearless flavor combinations. Parking was plentiful and when you enter you can place an order and the counter. The service is very friendly and accommodating and they walk you through the ordering process. The food was prepared quickly and brought to the table. There was both inside and outside dining options. I tried the Thai Mango Salad with chicken mango, ramen noodles, pickled daikon & carrots, honey roasted almonds, napa cabbage, kale, romaine, baby spinach, carrots, bean sprouts, Thai basil, mint, cilantro, lime, crispy shallots, Thai almond dressing. The salad was so fresh with a bright flavor with all the fresh herbs and mango. I love their craft made beverages that include unique lemonades like guava and pomegranate and mint lemonade. I have joined their rewards program on the app and also had some to-go experiences here where I tried the Chen's Crispy Rice Salad with tofu, rainbow carrots, watermelon radish, cashews, crispy rice, wontons, scallion, cilantro, romaine, kale, spinach, red & green cabbage, miso sesame dressing. The salad was packed well and dressing on the side so it was fresh when I ate it to-go. I also ordered on the app for their buy one get one special for national sandwich day. I tried the "Not So Fried" Chicken with chicken, Mendo's krispies, mustard pickle slaw, tomatoes, pickled red onions, herb aioli, on toasted ciabatta with a side of golden BBQ sauce and Chicken Pesto Caprese with chicken, fresh mozzarella, marinated red peppers, basil pesto, mixed greens, balsamic, on panini-pressed ciabatta. The sandwiches were pack separately and had very good texture and flavors. Sometimes they get busy when ordering to go, but the manager was able to expedite my order. I have to say that I personally prefer the salads to the sandwiches. Overall a welcome addition to South Austin with food made with quality and whole ingredients.

    So happy to see places like this come to SW Austin! The guy who helped me navigate my first time was really nice and sweet (I don't remember his name but his fave sandwich is the vegan bahn mi, so I will have to try it). The whole menu looks so fun and I can't wait to come back and try more of it. I went with the not fried chicken sandwich (1/2) and pesto salad, given the sandwiches do come in around 1k calories. It was just fantastic! the space looks really nice, good vibe, and friendly ppl.

    This was my first in person experience. Have had the leftovers brought home my the wife and daughter and was even better fresh. Had the Parm Chicken Dip sandwich. Chicken was very moist and all the ingredients were freshly made. Sesame seed roll was good, but might see if I can get a substitute roll next time. Very well lit and relaxing while waiting on our order. The real treat though was the pomegranate mint lemonade. Not a combination I would have ever thought of but boy was it very refreshing. Three refills before the forth leaving after eating. Will definitely go back.

    Steak sandwich
    Diana M.

    Good spot for a quick lunch. Quick service and solid sandwiches. My husband got the steak which he enjoyed and I did half and half.

    Hannah K.

    The energy here is off the charts! You'd think it was a lunchtime rave seven days a week. Staff and management are hyper-aware and vigilant, determined to make sure that they make a good first impression. It's gratifying to get such personal attention and feel like they actually care. Even when the line is out the door, there are enough hands on deck that the wait is minimal, and orders start flying from the pass in minutes. To be honest, the food was a disappointment. I got the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada minus cheese to make it vegan, but found that the crispy bits on top were inedibly hard, like chewing on fine aquarium gravel. When asked, they were gracious enough to remake the salad without... But then brought back an order covered in cheese. Take 3, and now it was missing the quinoa, but I didn't want to keep hassling them and was pretty hungry by then. They did graciously refund me in the end. As a young upstart from California, Mendocino Farms has a lot to prove to break into the fickle Texas food scene. I'll back... But maybe I'll try a sandwich next time.

    We really enjoyed Oasthouse! I've been there twice now - once with work and once as a family…read more There are plenty of places to sit inside and out. Outside there's a cute playground, gated, for the younger kiddos. Perfect for those who want to keep the kids occupied but also enjoy a snacky snack and a drink. There are plenty of gluten free options, and we ended up getting the Yardbird Chicken Sandwich on a gluten free bun, a complimentary Reuben sandwich on a gluten free bun, fish and chips, and a burger for the kiddo. All of them were great! Hubby enjoyed the fish and chips and the spray bottle with malt vinegar! Such a fun touch, nice and crispy, and the chips were crunchy and delicious. I actually really liked my chicken sandwich. While it looks standard, it was such a good bite, super filling, and since gluten free, I got a side salad which was nice and simple and light. The Reuben was GREAT! I was so excited I could have it since on a gluten free bun. The corned beef wasn't super greasy or heavy or too salty which I really appreciated, and the aioli was great to balance out all other parts of the sandwich. The slaw, pickles, everything were all so good, and definitely worth getting in the future! And our kiddo demolished the burger in a heartbeat! Add some great service - super kind, funny, and made me feel so safe eating there with an allergy. He was great, and even though he was busy, he did such a great job coming and checking in! We also had a pint of Lazarus Rice Lager which has been treated and is consumable for those with a gluten allergy (not Celiac)! I love Lazarus beers so much, especially this rice lager! So light and perfect on a hot day! We would definitely come back any time! Defintely worth the stop!

We waited about 5-7 minutes before someone came to greet us at the hostess station. After greeting us she seated us. Once we were seated we waited awhile before she came back with menus and she took our drink order. After a few minutes she brought us our waters and took our order. The hostess/waitress was really busy but despite that she did an excellent job taking care of us. For our starters we shared two items. The Carnitas Poutine which comes with fries, pulled pork, cheese, jalapenos and red onions. This was really good. The pulled pork mixed with the other ingredients was filling and could be a meal on its own. We also shared the fried cheese curds. They came with a tomato sauce and a buttermilk sauce that you could dip your curds in. These were really good when they came out. The cheese was nice nice and stretchy and the exterior wasn't very crunchy but added texture. Both sauces were good and each had a distinct flavor. For our main meal we all shared a bowl of the Truffle Fries. They aren't on the menu but the waitress told us that if you request them the chef can make them. They were really good fries. My husband and son both ordered the Southwest Pimento Burger which comes with beef, pimiento cheese, jalapenos, a tostada, corn relish, and aioli. They said that the burger was really good. I ordered the Harvest Burger cooked Medium. It comes with beef, cabbage, apple jam, aioli and cheese. I ordered mine with swiss cheese instead of cheddar cheese. The burger was delicious. It was cooked perfectly. I could taste all of the combined ingredients and really liked the sweet and salty flavor of it. It was just balanced so well. Overall Oasthouse is a good lunch spot. The service was good despite the waiting plus they have a variety of starters and delicious burgers.

Overall great service.. great food... very nice cute restaurant. Please be aware they put a 20% gratuity on tables 5 and above so that was part of our check.
