What a lovely hidden gem in Clarksville. Everything about it is stunning- the tiered entryway, the interiors. We went on a Thursday evening and were able to immediately sit on the patio. The prices are pretty high so you're really paying for the environment and experience. We had a few drinks and they were all very nice, the Negroni was quite strong. The service was ok, the waitress wasn't very friendly. read more

Really lovely experience here. Fresh food with shareable plates, lovely atmosphere, great staff. If you have to wait for your reservation , there are 2-3 other little bars you can check out while you do so. Everything we had was delicious and the portions are perfect - we did 4-5 shared and then individual mains, and that was more than enough. Try everything- the menu is tight for a reason! read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon, when they just opened, hoping to grab a dinner. They didn't have much food available at the time and only had "snacks." A "snack" menu, in my opinion, was not just underwhelming, but also overpriced, especially $11 for a small plate of essentially plain fries. And this is coming from a person who spends wayyyyy too much money going out. Most options we saw were just base-line ingredients of a disassembled girl dinner. Which could have raided my fridge for then. I'm hoping the actual dinner menu is much better, but I'm not sure when (and if) I'd give it a shot, to be honest. read more

After striking out at Howard's and facing a huge wait at Clark's, we accidentally stumbled into Pecan Square right behind it. I've always heard people rave about this spot, and it totally lived up to the reputation. The second I saw the wood-fired pizza oven, I knew what we were getting. The pizza was phenomenal and didn't let us down one bit. Great atmosphere and even better food and drinks! read more

We came here on the pre dinner snack menu just to get a quick bite and the menu was very limited and on the over priced side. The good was okay but just didn't feel worth the value. Done better snack options would have been better since we weren't in a mood for pizza. Service was still good. Though I am curious what is in the dinner menu if I am ever around. Nice indoor and outdoor seating as options. read more

Let me just warn you - parking is a B, but it is absolutely worth it to eat here!! We sat outside in the adorable courtyard and the waiter brought us and our dog water. The fish and lily pads were unexpected in the garden area and I love it!! I want that at my house lol We started with the pecan bun - because that's what everyone recommended. It wasn't my favorite. I did like the very center of it though. I got the mixed greens salad with an egg and it is probably the best salad I've ever had! The fresh lettuces and herbs were so delicious!! The dressing was so good too. I could have eaten two of these and left it at that. I got the chickpea crepe with goat ricotta and orange marmalade. This wasn't my favorite, but I am not a goat cheese person so I was hoping being ricotta I would like it. The crepe and marmalade were good though. My husband had the burger and fries and he said it was exactly what he wanted. It was cooked well and excellent portion sized. We will definitely be back and take our family when they're in town. read more

Finding a spot to park was tricky but it was worth driving around the neighborhood and a bit of a walk. There is a bar inside that is bright and inviting. Our table was against the wall, near a little fireplace. I was meeting friends. We had zucchini fritti which were great. Our waiter told us his favorites. He recommended the sausage and eggs. I didn't order that but my friend did. It looked great. He cleaned his plate as if he were a little kid trying to be a member of the clean plate club. I ordered the burger. It was perfectly cooked. Next time, I would order it without the tomato. The caramelized onions were perfect as were the fries. read more

Had a great Valentine's Day dinner here! The design of the space is super cool to start off with. We ordered the carrot ginger soup, burger, mezzaluna, and the flourless chocolate torte. The mezzaluna was even pink for the holiday! We sat at the counter by the kitchen which was fun to watch the food being prepared. The chocolate torte definitely was a highlight - really good. read more

This is a really swanky place. We stopped by for my birthday because it popped up on (Yelp) and figured we'd give it a go. Seems to be a pretty popular date night spot to be honest and the price tag matched the environment. I did wish there was a little more food on my plate, but I enjoyed it. It was really cool cause they had an outdoor area where kids could play if they wanted. read more

Pecan Square Cafe gives full on adobe western energy with a side of elegance. I got this recommendation from a guy at our hotel pool and he nailed it. Think laid back sophistication and plates that surprised me. I started with a crab salad. It was chunks of cold crab in a white sauce set over green beans. Then, my tile fish came swimming in a zesty white sauce that i perked up for. Our service was very friendly! read more

It was nice to have a lighter/healthier alternative on our Austin trip, and it was a welcome change from the streak of bbq. We came on a Sunday without a reservation and it wasn't a problem. The cafe interior was decorated really cutely and the service was . Here's what we ordered: *Pecan sticky bun - a little crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, yum! *Carrot soup - because it was a little cold inside and it did the trick! It had hints of lemon, ginger, and was topped with some mint *Provençal salad with roasted chicken - Chicken on the salad was seasoned well, but a bit dry. That was everyone's least favorite (only because everything else was so good!) *Broccolini cheese pizza since it was unique. It tasted like broccoli soup, and had a nice crust *Smoked kingfish tartine - all of our favorite dish! It was a bit salty since they loaded it up with so much fish, but it was tasty and I loved the bursts of flavor from the roe read more

Such an elevated cafe experience! The vibes are unmatched. I absolutely love the open kitchen, their interior (and exterior) designer needs a raise! Staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. Plus their patio is pet friendly and pours fresh water for the pups! I can tell the food was well crafted, so delicious too. I've yet to try their dinner menu, but their happy hour deals always get me hooked. This was my second time back and had to leave a review to express my gratitude for this unique cafe. read more

A cute brunch spot with a bit of a bougie taste both on the menu and around the cafe. I made a reservation for four and it unfortunately took so long just to get an order in (and had one of those moments where one of us asked for a drink after they asked and the waiter immediately left to put that order in without asking the rest of us). The food was alright, but for the price, the portions are small and look lonely on the plate. For a place aiming for a nicer vibe, I understand the portion sizes but the food isn't even pretty or complex enough to justify the dollar sign. The crepe was also extremely sweet, something I don't like to start a day off with. I enjoyed the citrus though. Overall, it was okay. There are a lot of other places with bigger, prettier, and more affordable food for a nice brunch. read more

Coming back to write yet another review for my favorite restaurant in Austin.. If you don't believe me, this is where I went immediately after getting married at the courthouse. Not only were we treated with such amazing care and complimentary champagne, the food was as expected, outstanding (although I am sad they took their chicken and watermelon salad off the menu). Nonetheless, their seasonal menu and open kitchen never ceases to amaze me. The ambiance is business casual, natural lighting, modern century with a touch of art deco, and it's everything you could ask for and more, every. single. time. read more

Pecan Square Cafe is an awesome spot on West 6th St in Austin. I loved the interior feel-- wide, open, airy: a great vibe for brunch. The food was superb; PSC is one of those places were you watch what other people ordered and think: "I'll get that next time." (i.e., the pizzas) The service was friendly, and efficient; not rushed. The place also felt a bit more relaxed than other spots in Austin, which was a nice change of pace. Casual, Quiet, Relaxed- outstanding. read more

Another Yelp Elite friend and I decided to introduce our +1s hoping they'll get along and we'll all be friends. We got sat in the patio, which they had designed with a nice fireplace and also added overhead and the standing space heaters. It was so effective that we got too warm and requested one of it turned off. We had a really sweet server - friendly, kind. We ordered drinks, which were well made but nothing particularly memorable. We order the sweet potato fritters to start with - it was almost entirely dough with no flavors of sweet potatoes. We then had a pizza and a pasta, which was quite bland. The pizza was fine and we also tried their polenta. The ambiance is cute - what a lovely date night spot. Service was 5 stars. But the food was lacking. This place has potential but falls just short. And oh, parking is a miserable challenge in this area - their website says plenty of street parking but that's not actually true. read more

Went for dinner service on a Friday night! They were very busy and we had to wait about 20-30 minutes for our table to be ready for our reservation. They sat us outside and took our drink orders while we waited. Here's what we ordered for 2: Texas Ibérico Coppa (10/10) Sweet Potato Fritters (8/10) - too much batter not enough sweet potato, very yummy still. Probably would not order these again. Local Lettuces (10/10) - very refreshing Risotto alla Milanese (10/10) - scallops cooked perfectly Pan Seared Red Grouper (11/10) - our favorite dish of the night. I did not want to share. This was enough food but if you are very hungry 1-3 more small plates would suffice. Our food was ready so quickly. The ambiance is very cool casual. We will be back for happy hour or dinner sometime. read more

Our daughter kept talking about Pecan Square Cafe~ so we finally made it for their Happy Hour We were seated at a corner table in the bar, PERFECT Our server (she might have new) was LOVELY ~ making polite suggestions & not rushing us through our app choices... Started with cocktails, an Old Fashion for my Hubs + I ordered a speciality cocktail BOTH were da bomb It was quite hot outside both were served ice cold sooooo mine was PERFECTION in a stemmed glass. Our apps were TERRIFIC starting with zucchini fries, served golden & crunchy with salt....OOOOMG, as good or better than french fries Also the Mushroom quesadilla, who needs meat when you have this much DELISHHHHNESS on a TORTILLA? Our main consisted of a potato truffle pizza (no overwelmed with truffle) beautiful chew in the crust, the toppings cooked expertly, this is artisan pizza not the neighborhood pizza joint. This is a relaxed atmosphere bar/restaurant providing GR8 service, XCELLANT Cocktails & Food ~ Definitely will be a regular at Pecan Square Cafe read more

After reading some great reviews of the Pecan Square Cafe we stopped in for lunch. The restaurant is in a great location with ample street parking. There is patio seating and the inside seating area was well decorated with large ceiling windows for views of trees. Our waitress was very friendly and our order was served quickly. We ordered the pizza and the porchetta sandwich...and they were delicious. Nothing was left on either of our plates. There were several other items on the lunch menu that looked delicious so we're already planning our return trip! read more

Very cute outdoor area that would be very enjoyable once the temperatures cool down. The inside has a great vibe with a lively bar area. It is very hard to find a decent happy hour and I think Pecan Square may have one of the best offerings around with 1/2 price bottles of wine and 1/2 price pizzas Monday-Friday from 3-5pm. Unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the happy hour, but we did enjoy our meal of zucchini fritti, maltagliati, agnolotti and pork schnitzel. The presentation was lovely and the portions were great and not too heavy. They also have a great wine selection and the Paul Prieur Sancerre paired lovely with all of our choices. The hosts were extremely welcoming and our waitress was very nice. read more

Let me be clear: I've eaten everywhere in Austin. And Pecan Square Café just became the bar. This spot isn't just another trendy restaurant trying to ride the farm-to-table wave. It is the wave. Everything from the pasta to the pizza to the lamb that nearly made me emotional, is insanely fresh and flavorful. Like someone grew it out back, harvested it at golden hour, and then a chef kissed it with wood-fire perfection. And then there's Manu, the bartender. Holy hell. This man makes a carajillo so good it could broker world peace. Smoothest execution I've seen behind a bar in a long time. It wasn't just the drink, it was the whole vibe. He gets it. A rare combination of precision, warmth, and total command of the craft. Pecan Square isn't just a great meal. It's an experience. And it's now my go-to anytime I'm in Austin. read more

I love it here! It's tucked away in Clarksville, truly making it a hidden gem. The best coffee in Austin and amazing atmosphere. I always feel very welcomed by the staff and I'm never disappointed with the visit. The granola in the parfait is extremely hard to chew on but otherwise I really love what they have to offer!! I will continue to bring my friends here for brunch! read more

Pecan Square Cafe is another spot I really wanted to like but missed on a lot of aspects. Let's talk about the pros first. We came on a Sunday afternoon, but we missed brunch by an hour. Right off the bat, my friends and I were stunned by how beautiful the space is. It's not a very large cafe, but pictures do not do this place justice. It's gorgeous. There is so much natural lighting, and no matter where you sit, the vibe is so nice. I tried my best to capture how stunning the interior is, but I don't think I managed to. It's stunning in a very natural way because they allow the space to speak for itself. There's not a lot of over-the-top decor or furniture, but there seems to be light that shines into every crack of the restaurant. You have to visit during daytime hours to se what I'm talking about. The rest of this review is going to be reserved for the cons. Someone else mentioned this as well, so I'm glad I'm not the only person who felt this way, Our server was really off. He didn't smile a single time, and the other reviewer said her server seemed like he almost "begrudgingly wanted to serve them". I'm not sure if we both had the same person, but that's exactly how I felt with our server. I felt really bad for asking him for a sauce or another piece of silverware, but I certainly should not be feeling that way. His attitude was really not it. The food is incredibly mediocre, and I didn't like our espresso martinis at all. They were incredibly bitter and acidic. The pizza and pesto pasta both were pretty bland and under seasoned, and I found myself just leaving the food on my plate after a few bites. Pecan Square Cafe is also by no means a cheap establishment, so it felt bad to visit and not really like anything that we ordered. read more

Overall this restaurant has a nice aesthetic, however the menu selections weren't very expansive making it slightly difficult for our whole family to find something they were excited to order/try. We went for my brothers birthday and he has both a gluten and dairy allergy. When he told our server she all but forced him to get the pork chop because in her words "that's the easiest one and won't cause our kitchen to have to work harder". He really wanted the steak and she basically said no. Then when his pork chop came out there were absolutely no sides for him. The cocktail menu was definitely unique and they do have a spritz of the day, which was very tasty. Not really sure if we'll rush back for a second visit. Worth a try at least once though. read more

Open airy. Cute. White tablecloths. Service generally attentive. Menu does change and evolve. Not a ton of parking so you may need to street park. We came for dinner and generally thought the food was good and the drinks were well crafted. For food: Zucchini strings - fried zucchini strings with aioli - twas a huge mound. Great at first but then just got a little greasy as it cooled down (maybe too much of a good thing) Chilled Crab salad - Tasty with cucumbers, tarragon aioli and green tomatoes. Cavatelli - with sweet potatoes and shaved park. I liked this dish. Daily Fish - sautéed with a tomato based sauce. Pretty good. read more

Out for a solo meal and I could not stop ooing and ahhhhing over EVERY SINGLE COURSE. After a long work day this was such a lovely reward. Literally loved everything about my dinner experience and that's despite the heavy rain this evening. The setting and overall vibe is spot on. Every single staff person I interacted with was stellar. They made me feel like they sincerely wanted me to love the entire experience....and I did. The attention to every detail was not missed on me. The olives were the perfect snack with my wine. The eggs were DREAMY! The crab was perfectly seasoned and literally all Crab meat with lovely crunchy and colorful radishes with sprinkles of the perfect amount of Italian parsley. My pasta was heavenly. And the cantaloupe sorbet was as if a snowflake met, fell in love with, married and had a baby with a cantaloupe...this would be their baby of deliciousness. And the sprinkling of Maldon salt flakes put it over the top. I left so very full but so content. This is a MUST in Austin. read more

Tucked just off West 6th in Clarksville, Pecan Square is a great comfort food spot that adds a little elegance to the standard comfort fare.

It's a cafe and it's got pecans (desserts). Sometimes things just go so well together not only in name. Pecan Square Cafe is a nice little local place perfect for a brunch day or just a simple escape. Atmosphere: Atmosphere is top notch, this really breaks away the reality that you are in Austin and more so the feeling that you are in a simple Italian cafe, complete with food and theme to boot Food: I came here during brunch so most the dishes I got may be limited to their brunch menu. Right off the bat I'll say their star shiner is the Pecan Sticky bun, as appropriate with the name. The right amount of sweetness with a warm savory bun complimented with Pecans makes this worth a visit. For my entrees I first got the Sausage and Shishito Pepper Pizza, very tasty but ultimately way too spicy for a brunch dish in my opinion. The waitress was very nice and allowed me to get the Chickpea Crepe Suzette. Better option for sure a little tart for my liking but better. Again of all the dishes the one that stood out are the ones that are more brunch centric, such as coffee and the sticky bun. Service: As noted above the staff is very friendly. My waitress was very attentive and helped me find suggestions when I needed. If you're in the mood for a brunch day, this is worth a visit. Certain dishes may appeal more to others but the overall theming and staff really sell this place to be noteworthy. read more

It was superb. It was beautiful: cozy and elevated at the same time. Our service was perfection, our waitress offered suggestions that were spot on, I'm talking EACH course. I ate up the sweet potato fritters, the catch of the day: skin on snapper in a dill Beurre blanc AND my dessert: some dreamy apple deal, wrapped in a crisp pastry. I don't even like apple pie. But last night, I loved it! This place gets nothing but high marks in my book and I'll def be back. Two word review: get dessert. read more

Played some weeknight pickleball and needed to refuel with dinner afterwards. My friend and I happened upon Pecan Square and were able to get seated outdoors without having to wait. The ambience if this place is really nice, perfect for a date. The building is behind Clark's Oyster bar and is sort of unassuming until you walk up the path towards it. I thought the design of the restaurant was nice, felt like a fancy cabin lodge. We ordered a few things: Sweet Potato Fritters - Very fluffy but crispy on the outside, I'm not a huge sweet potato person but I really enjoyed these Escarole Caesar - nicely tossed, the croutons were a bit too fried for my liking but some may appreciate the crunch. Handcut Tagliatelle - very nice, a pretty simple dish but done really well Mountain Rose Potato Pizza - I had a slice of this from my friend and thought it was tasty. The pizza dough was very fluffy but not too thick, just the way I like it. Honestly, a really cool spot and kind of hidden from the other restaurants on the street. Would come back here again to try some of their other dishes. read more
