    Pancake
    Jamie P.

    Finally made our way down to the new paperboy location on South Lamar. We had a reservation and they seated us promptly at our reservation time. I was grateful that the patio had protection from the sun. Service was pretty quick considering how busy they are and the food is consistently good. Parking on South Lamar is made easier with their underground parking garage. The pancake is huge and could easily be split. The bloody Mary was surprisingly strong.

    Kind of like a hash bowl, again, forgot the name!

    So that was D-freaking-licious. What a great place to brunch! This was my first time at Paperboy South, and now it has burned itself into my brain for future visits to Austin. Great vibe, interesting menu, friendly but unobtrusive service... digging it. We started with some ricotta toast, a first for me, but man whenever I find this again... it will be ordered. Wow, what a great flavor with the fluffy ricotta, tangy fruit and glaze. This was a revelation for me. Honestly, right now cannot remember the name of my specific dish, but honestly it was like a brunchy carnitas platter, and I was here for it. Nothing like BYO tacos with a brunch spin. I just remember loving it. Great visit, thanks Paperboy South!

    Finally got to try this place. I've tried the east side location and man, it's hard to get in. Came with another friends and we sat on the outside patio. Really enjoy that the patio is fully covered, yes if it were to be a windy, rainy day may not work out but for the most part this was great. They have a take out window for orders as well. Inside looked quaint with bright lighting. I got the pancakes cause it was recommended and they weren't too shabby. Would I say they are the best? No, tasty, yes. Friends got other dishes, of course I don't remember what they were but they did enjoy. Make a reservation and try them out. Parking was also convenient and they validate.

    Truly outstanding breakfast venue. First time at this restaurant. Was worth the 20 minute drive and paying to park, although they give you a discount when you check out. On parking. Sat inside. Has a very modern, clean, well laid out, upscale diner feel, with comfortable booth seating (and an outdoor area too that was spacious, but not appealing to me on a reasonably warm, somewhat humid day). Let me get right to it. Everything I ate was A++. The five of us shared a pancake, which was extremely fluffy and tasty, with melted butter. I did not have the French toast, which looked inviting, but a sugar overload. I also did not try the homemade pop tart that everyone said was very good. My latte with whole milk, served hot, was delicious. I went simple -- had two eggs, with bacon, potatoes, and toast. This was a memorable breakfast with ordinary ingredients that was prepared in an exceptional manner and perfectly seasoned. There's not much more that I can say, other than when you can make the ordinary taste special you're doing something extremely right! Our primary server, see photo, was delightful and efficient. Fellow that brought the food was also friendly. Presentation was excellent, even though fairly simple. Prices were extremely fair for the quality of the food in my opinion. I completely understand why you need reservations. Truly outstanding breakfast!

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch

    I was in Austin for the day and found this recommendation from TikTok! They close at 2PM and they were able to get me in right before they closed so I'm forever grateful lol I wanted to try some pastries but they let me know that they are made fresh, in-house everyday and they go fast! So they were sold out. I ended up ordering the Texas hash and the cinnamon rose which was like a French toast with the most immaculate choice of toppings on it. I'm a sweet and savory girl and they both were phenomenal. The hash was made with a mole sauce that gave it this Mexican taste to or which I absolutely loved. The cinnamon toast also had a really good mascarpone and this caramelized crunch that I enjoyed a lot. You also got a really good bang for your buck so I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Austin!

    The best cinnamon toast I've ever had. Perfectly cooked eggs. Delicious drinks. Go try it. You'll love it

    I've been here countless times, so I can't believe I haven't written them a review yet. I'm SO happy they opened up a south location as this is perfect and hence my frequent visits :) First things first, they validate first hour of your parking in the garage, so don't forget to scan the QR code by the check-in desk. Secondly, come early bc they run out of their fresh made pastries so often!! Food wise: here are all the dishes I've had before. Shareables: poblano and cheddar biscuits - perfect for a group. Jalapeño jam is delicious! Chorizo empanada to die for but they always run out so come early! Cinnamon toast - this is too sweet for me but everyone loves this and good to share if you just want a small bite Entree: Chicken and biscuit - delicious and big portion Texas hash - delicious and different Steak & Eggs - always a great option. I love it here. Great service. Great food. Great ambiance.

    We have been to PB east location few times, wanted to checkout this location, made reservations a day before. This location PB is much bigger, they validate parking for an hour, that's good, got seated promptly. Patio is simple yet nice and comfortable, our server was nice, welcoming and friendly but not attentive. Food is good, as usual, place was pretty busy, so reservations are must.

    Latte and cappuccino
    Elvira O.

    Long time fan of Paperboy but this was my first time at this location. As always, food was delicious and service was fast, attentive and friendly. The Texas hash is a must. Roasted pulled pork is quite filling but the kale and sweet potato makes it feel like it's still somewhat healthy! My husband ordered his go-to: the classic breakfast with two eggs, seasoned potato wedges and maple sausage. I took a small bite of the sausage and side of preserves and it's so good! If you're planning on getting weekend breakfast or brunch, make a reservation ahead of time as wait times can be long.

    Vanilla Latte
    Samyukta S.

    First time at Paperboy South and it did not disappoint. This location takes reservations (highly recommend making one to avoid long waits) and offers validated parking for the first hour in the adjacent garage, which is convenient. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating spaces, both of which are cozy and comfortable. I started with a hot vanilla latte, which was delicious. For food, my girlfriend and I ordered: 1. chorizo and potato empanada to share - this was pretty oily. I've had better empanadas. This was a miss for me. 2. Paperboy pancake wjth blueberries, and a side of eggs + bacon. The bacon was crispy just the way I like it. Eggs were cooked to order and the pancake was decadent, massive, and delicious. This meal fed two of us easily. They brought some rice krispy treats out for dessert along with the check, which was a nice sweet bite to round out a good meal. Worth a visit.

    Chilaquiles
    Amy M.

    Second time visiting paperboy but first at their south location. Unfortunately, this visit left us wanting a bit more. We ordered a round of frozen hibiscus margaritas which are delicious and STRONG. Perfect especially if you're sitting outdoors. I got the chilaquiles and while they were delicious, the portion size was definitely lacking...was sadly still hungry after my meal. Service was fine but was better at the east location.

    Paperboy Pancakes

    I've been hearing about the breakfast at Paperboy for a while and finally made my way there. First, I really like the ambiance and atmosphere. The outdoor patio is nice to sit and enjoy your meal. Even when it's hot outside as the patio is covered. Second, the service is fantastic and the staff is friendly. Lastly, the food is delicious. I tried the pancakes as that's what this place is known for. Definitely fluffy and flavorful. I was hoping to try some of their starters, but they were all sold out by the time I arrived. So, I recommend to book an early time for breakfast/brunch. Overall, a great experience and I would return again. I'm interested in seeing the vibes at their other location next time.

    Pretty darn good! My breakfast sandwich was delicious and the hash brown was good.. but I feel like it was better on my last visit- I could tell what was off a little???? The gluten free muffin was AMAZING! Service was great! And it's a cute little restaurant!

While we're glad you joined us, I'm sorry to hear your breakfast experience didn't meet expectations. We'll be reviewing your comments with our culinary team to improve consistency. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We had absolutely no complaints regarding our dining experience. Caroline is affiliated with the Marriott Element and Aloft hotels and that, I believe, where the affiliation ends. I try to avoid hotel eateries but I've had great dining experiences at hotels like the JW Marriott in Austin. We, four, stopped by on a Sunday AM for breakfast and we had a great time. They do have brunch cocktails available and their bloody Mary's were deemed excellent with just the right amount of spice. My bloody Maria was on point and we all got our Sunday Funday started. Breakfast was wonderful. Our eggs arrived cooked perfectly. The pepper bacon and real potato sides were off the charts delicious. They also offer a few TexMex breakfast options and Plus one was raving about her Huevos Rancheros plate. Service was excellent even though they became busy our server was very attentive. Pro tip: Sat and Sun AMs if you arrive early you can easily score a table.

But I would still advise getting a reservation. There were three of us and we started out with the pastry of the day and the pull apart cinnamon roll. Both were excellent. Two of us got burgers and one of us got the chicken sandwich after that, and I was very glad that one of the others tried their burger before I did because the pickled onions on it were very spicy! The pickles are also spicy but not as bad as the onions. Once I scrape those off, it was a very tasty burger. The person who ordered the chicken sandwich said it could use a little more seasoning but other than that, it was good. We were going to order drinks but they didn't have the ingredients for the one drink we wanted, so we decided to skip that. The waitstaff was very friendly. We were glad we ordered the pastries first because it did take a while for our food to come out. I definitely recommend going there just to try the pastries! They have a small parking lot but they also own the building to the right of them so you can park in that lot also.

I opted just got an Arnold Palmer but the drink menu had some cute cocktails and mocktails, as well as a nice selection of beer and wine. Instead of bread, our server brought us a basket of seasoned popcorn. The popcorn had almost like a Cajun flair, but it wasn't spicy. It reminded me of the Ground Round chain from when I was a little girl. We decided to try the corndog shrimp appetizer. I couldn't decide on an entree because everything looked so good, so I did the Parmesan chicken and my coworker did the steak salad. The shrimp arrived so quickly with four large pieces of shrimp on a stick wrapped in corn dog batter and fried to a golden brown, with a blueberry mustard dipping sauce. The shrimp were delicious and while I didn't get much of the blueberry in the mustard, I enjoyed the sweetness it provided. My Parmesan chicken was a crispy and juicy breaded chicken cutlet with a lemon cream, artichoke hearts, and what appeared to be prosciutto on top. It was served with a side of pesto couscous with grape tomatoes and cucumbers. I wish I had ordered mashed potatoes on the side, because I wanted something to soak up the lemon cream sauce, which was the highlight of the chicken. We also were served 3 mini cornbread muffins with honey butter. My coworker said the salad was just okay, and was a little on the small side. The desserts were definitely a MUST and if you visit Moonshine and don't save room for the Espresso Brownie or the Peanut Butter Pie, you're going to regret it. The brownie was so fudgey and warm and served with ice cream. It was decadent. The peanut butter pie was the biggest slab of PB pie I've ever had with a thick Oreo crust. I wish I had someone with me to share it, it was huge. Overall, if I lived in the area I would definitely be back to try other things.

I also really appreciate a salad with breakfast since this helps lower your glucose spike and so when a restaurant offers this I know they know true wellness!!! My girlfriends both ordered the avocado toast and loved it. One ordered the cherry vanilla limeade and enjoyed it as well, but as an avid cherry hater I didn't try it...but if you like cherry she recommends it! I would come back to Austin just to eat here again. So good. So jealous this isn't back home... did I mention that already??!!

    I wanted to like this restaurant, but they made it hard to do. We started off with the guacamole…read more The pomegranate seeds on top were a nice touch, but man, this was flavorless. It was painfully boring. We had our 6-year-old, who is head of the Picky Eaters Society, so we ordered bread with butter. This 6-year-old, who eats bread on the daily, took one bite and wouldn't eat any more. We even get gluten-free bread regularly, and he eats it. The bread was fine, but don't expect flavor. By some miracle, they even made butter tasteless. I considered calling the Vatican to see if this was some holy, divine miracle, but my wife suggested maybe the main course would be better. We settled on the pesto pasta with chicken added for an additional fee. The pasta was good. Great texture, good flavor, and the combination of ingredients was good, but it's nothing original. It's pesto pasta. It's a classic. I appreciate the pomegranate seeds on the guacamole because it's original, it's clever, and it's different. We also ordered a special soda drink for our son, and it had a small black bug on top. I had them take it back and replace it. I kind of expected a "Listen, we apologize for the bug. Here's half off dinner," or something, but nothing. Service was fine, and it's a decent atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to sit and talk it's a great place, but if you want food or a drink go somewhere else.
