Love the nostalgia of Sawyer and Company. It took me back as a child from the 80's going to a restaurant that had a feel of the late 60's/70's once you come in. The food here is fantastic and the music played over the speakers was very humbling and mellow and matched the feel of the restaurant. Will definitely come back soon to try the rest of their dishes! read more

Definitely for breakfast. I could also make this to be a very good lunch spot as well. Brunch it is. WITH A BAR!!! Very nostalgic. Very interesting decor. Retro style throughout and a huge patio. Service staff were all very cool. The best breakfast treat of our 7000 mile journey. Do eat here! CritDicks read more

Great brunch spot in town! I enjoy seeing the mid century vibes of the restaurant and the energy that the place has. I always see it busy so I'd recommend having a reservation if you'd like to be sat quick. As for food I highly recommend the cheesy grits and side of potatoes. Majority of the food is great and leaves you in a good coma for the rest of the day. 10/10 recommend for a high quality brunch. read more

How are you going to be a breakfast place, serving "coffee on the go daily....espresso, cappuccino, latte" but not open until 9am? What is that? People need coffee and breakfast in the morning, you know when real people wake up, 6/7 am. Imagine being the owner of this place. "I'm gonna open up a breakfast place that opens at 9am." Yikes. Completely devastating. read more

My company ordered lunch form this place for a pick up. I had Salmon Benedict. The description on Toast app was absent so I had no idea it was served on a hashbrown until I go it. Which I wouldn't order if I knew. The sauce tasted a little weird, left a strong aftertaste. I was a bit concerned so i didn't finish my food. I stated feeling a tad queasy a couple hours after. My drink was not what I ordered - Amethyst Matcha on Oat. It looks and tastes like espresso and on regular milk. I cannot this amount of milk. :/ aaaaand they give you paper straws with drinks, which is a big no-no for me, there are plenty of eco-friendly options on the market these days to not let your customers drink from a soggy paper straw (had to reuse one from my previous drinks). read more

I kept seeing Sawyer & Co on social media so when in Austin we decided to try it for breakfast. A lot of people mention long wait times but we must have gone at a good hour because we got seated right away even though it was Formula One weekend. On our way out we did see a line forming so I guess we got lucky. The food was good, nothing that really blew me away, just classic diner food which makes sense because it is a diner. What I will say is the service was great. Our waitress was really nice and the staff kept checking on us to make sure everything was good which I appreciated. Overall it was a fine experience and I understand why people enjoy it, especially if you arrive at the right time. read more

Very good. Homemade food. Nice little patio. Had reservations so only a ten minute wait for Sunday brunch at noon.

Came to Sawyer & Co for brunch this morning with my hubby and first of all, felt like I was being transported back in time with the decor. Very retro diner vibes with hints of modern day designs. Super cute. For the meal - they had a daily special running for blueberry lavender matchas and blueberry lavender lattes so I ended up snagging the matcha and it was very very good (I opted for iced). I ordered the Lost Bread (aka French toast) with a side of bacon and my husband ordered the breakfast biscuit with the strawberry compote that accompanies the pancakes. Super obsessed with the approach of the French bread because it was actually made with....French bread. (As opposed to regular toast) I got a bite of my husband's breakfast biscuit and the biscuit was perfection. We're looking forward to coming back for lunch! read more

Waffle was stunning, crispy great texture, fresh fruit and cream what more could you want. ALSO GUYS i was truly so blown away that the table syrup they served it with was REAL MAPLE SYRUP, i of course noticed immediately and was flabbergasted, this is such an impressive nice touch i never have been to a restaraunt that does this??? Huge huge props i was overjoyed. Gaston breakfast scramble was so good, great flavor and portion, amazing with sourdough and yummy (but under-seasoned) potatoes. Very tasty pie too. Service was great and the people are so nice! Easy 5 star review, highly recommend I love sawyer & co!! read more

Randomly went here for happy hour and enjoyed everything! We went on National Tequila Day because they had advertised specials, however the staff didn't know about it. We ended up getting discounted happy hour cocktails that did not have tequila in them. Both drinks we ordered were delicious! This cute little diner had great cocktails. We ordered a burger with fries and some type of roasted veggie grits bowl. Everything was delicious and prices were so reasonable. We will definitely be back for breakfast or brunch soon. We came on scooters so I'm not sure if there is parking, but it's located right next to De Nada tacos. read more

1145 on Sunday is the absolute worst time to go to Sawyer & Co for brunch. So we went. At least my friend had made a reservation, but we still had to wait a little while among the hungry hordes. Our server was genial but frazzled. He seemed puzzled when my friend asked her eggs be "soft-scrambled." Or, more likely, unsure of how to enter that on his order-taking device. The eggs arrived well done and she rolled her eyes, pushing them aside. She just shrugs it off because she's a better person than I am, and never ever sends food back. She said everything else was good. I ordered the simplest 2-egg breakfast, and it was delicious. The over-easy eggs golden-yoked and runny, the biscuit a fluffy delight, the Brabant potatoes heavenly creamy, and the bacon perfect. The former site of Arkies has been redone in cool funky retro. Even the Washroom is charming. One of these days. I gotta get back for a nice peaceful lunch. read more

Well I love this place. It's a cute little diner in Austin. The parking lot was very busy but I'm glad we found a spot. I had reservations and I'm glad we did because they were so full inside. But I still opted to eat outside. Their outside area is cute. And I had a nice view of their coffee van. It's such a cute idea. Very chill area with nice vibes. I highly suggest going when the weather's nice because sitting outside is so nice here. read more

ok I've gone a few times now and feel confident in this review. The service is always impeccable, and the food is wonderful. I would honestly give this a 3.5/5 -- the drinks are "meh" and a little over priced, and some of the food portions are small for the price. Otherwise, the place is always clean, the people are always kind and the food is always cooked well. read more

We came here for my friend's bachelorette brunch. They had plenty of seating available both indoor and outdoor so no problem sitting a large group. Our server was amazing and offered great suggestions. I went with the Chicken and Pancakes and it was delicious. I loved the vanilla butter that comes on top really added to the dish. I also got the Hugo spritz which was made perfectly. I will definitely be back as I enjoyed everything we had!! read more

I love trying out new places and can't believe I haven't been here before. But glad we got to grab a quick brunch lunch. It's a cute little place. Kinda dark where we sat but it was comfty in the booth. The waitress was so nice and helpful. Not sure what I wanted but I was craving fries and saw Friday special was tempura chicken and that sounded good. Bad for you but good lol it's Friday! My friend heard their shrimp and grits was good so she got that. We had our lunch meeting and out came our food really quick and fresh. My goodness the fries. I loved my fries. One of the best I've had. Crispy on the outside and soft inside and very hot. Almost burned my mouth but they were seasoned so well and so good. I was full lol The tempura chicken sad to say was very greasy. Wanted to like it. Couple bites was good but no way can you eat all 4/5 fingers. Too oily. But I had to take it home to share because it wasn't bad just so rich and greasy. The fries already filled me up so I was content. And very full lol Her grits and shrimp she said was good. Ok. But $19 felt like a lot and mine was $15 only because it was a weekly special. So prices are kinda high but probably not for these days. Mine was good being it was a special. All in all enjoyed our lunch. Loved the atmosphere too. Easy parking in downtown easy Austin as well. Did not my fries and the dipping sauces my dishes came with. Would love to see how their other dishes are. Let me see your reviews as well :) read more

We made reservations for a Saturday brunch. Super cute retro diner vibes with a nice outdoor area. Started off with some deviled eggs, which were pretty good. If you're looking for a healthier option, I really enjoyed the roasted root vegetables with eggs. The biscuit is yummy too . For something more indulgent, the fried chicken with pancakes was delicious ! Not a fan of their coffee - very bitter and impossible to drink without lots of cream and sugar . But their espresso martinis looked delicious ( didn't try one though ) Overall, a good experience and worth checking out :) read more

First time coming here while waiting for our flight. It's a cute & nice whole in the hall. The food is good nothing wowed me just typical diner food. My friend got a burger and that was better. I was bummed they don't do lattes after 3pm. The service also wasn't the greatest. I keep wanting to get my water refill but they wouldn't come. Then we never got the billed so I went to the front and paid and she never told me how much was everything she just took my card and after all I saw was 50 dollars as but I didn't know for what. Overall it was nice decor but nothing else really caught my eye. read more

Had the most delicious brunch here!!! We ordered the fried chicken biscuit with potatoes and a side of gravy, the chilaquiles, and the lost bread. The chicken biscuit has delicious honey butter all over it, then dipped in gravy it was soooo good. We were in sweet and salty heaven! The biscuit is soft and flaky. The potatoes dipped in the gravy was awesome too. The lost bread was basically French toast and was so airy, soft and sweet. They're a good dish to share if you want to just try them between friends. The chilaquiles were alright. Probably wouldn't order them again, but the eggs on them were great. They had some fun looking coffee drinks but didn't try any. There's lots of seating inside and outside. The patio is covered and super cute. The service was great and attentive. Parking in the front side and back. If you had a long night before, and need a heavy diner type meal, this is the place! read more

Came here on a Sunday and mistake #1 was not having a reservation. They use open table and Id highly recommend using it for a reservation on the weekends. Two of us ended up waiting for an hour for our table :/ Servers were very nice and attentive. We ordered the meatloaf Hawaiian sliders, eggs Benedict, and the Jorge Benedict. The highlight was the biscuits- they are very good. The eggs Benedict was the winner out of the dishes we ordered, but the meatloaf was also surprisingly delicious. Interior decor is well done. Took some serious vision to transform that old building into a retro diner! Overall worth a visit, but Id be in the mood for funky decor, good drinks, and fried food. Its a great hang out! read more

Pro tip their brunch menu is better than their typical menu. Which brunch is only offered on weekends. Also this place gets packed on weekends so consider making a reservation on Open Table! We started our brunch with the Meatloaf sliders which were good the crispy onion ring was a nice touch but would have preferred a bit less BBQ sauce. My entree was Jorge's Benedict which came with pork carnitas served on a biscuit. The biscuit was okay didn't really go well with the carnitas overall it was a decent dish but a bit heavy. Also, the regular eggs Benedict also comes on the biscuit which is also heavier than a normal Benedict. read more

I have saved this review in my check-in as I just had a baby. But rest assured, I will let austin know that sawyer & Co has some of the best honey chicken and biscuits. This place looks like a 60's style dinner. Looks super small from. The outside does not have very good parking. But their food packs punch of flavor. One of my buddies found this place while we were working. We sat ordered food with the waitress who was in training. By the way, did an amazing job. Had to use the restroom. Which place was super clean. Instead of washing your hands in a restroom, they have lined up sinks. Kinds cool. Get back to my chicken and fall in love. Anyone that is curious to try it out. Not to disappoint. read more

I had a team breakfast here and and since I was running a little late had no trouble finding a table. We came on a Tuesday so the Blue Plate special was the meatloaf and I thought, why not? Sawyer's known for Southern style cuisine, but it looked a lot more like Louisiana which I thought was fine too. We started with boudin balls which were all right. I like boudin and it lacked the spice or the richness. I decided to go with their blue plate special which was the meatloaf while some of my team got breakfast fare. It was at this point that we started talking and then my boss mentioned how long the wait for food was. I thought I was the only one but I do tend to count down rather quickly so I figured I was an outlier but if someone else in my party notices then it's got to be true. The wait was further confirmed when my food arrived, my meatloaf was lukewarm at best, it seemed like it may have been waiting to be picked up and left there or maybe it was made first and the rest of the food had to be made. Either way, both my main and the extra side of gumbo I got were not hot and I didn't want my team to wait even more while I got a re-fire. read more

Sawyers vibe was perfect. Felt like a diner from the 50's. They decorated very well. I ordered the Gaston scramble that was fine. The potatoes were incredible and so was the biscuit. The scramble was the least interesting of the meal, but it was still enjoyable. We ordered a blueberry muffin and didn't get it until we were getting boxes to pack up our food even though we mentioned it earlier that they forgot it. The blueberry muffin was half rock solid, half fine. I would probably return here and order something else on the menu! read more

I've gone to Sawyer & Co for both brunch and dinner and both are delicious in their own rights. Brunch can get busy on the weekends so if you can, make a reservation. Breakfast Sandwich on a biscuit was great. More bacon than typical and it's crispy to perfection. The biscuit is flaky and not too dense or dry. Husband got the tacos and they were full and tasty. Lunch/dinner the po boy is where it's at- the bread is what makes it a 10/10 for me. I love the retro diner vibe and there is plenty of outdoor shaded space for those Texas Spring and Fall days. Whichever time you choose to go, you won't be disappointed. read more

Sawyer & Co - Breakfast on a Biscuit - Diners Near Me - Austin, Texas

The Sawyer people were very kind to me when I showed up at their establishment in some distress. I will spare you the details ... But let me just say that as people the Sawyer and Company people are first rate. * * * I ate and drank only modestly since I was largely there for other reasons. But I can make a few general comments so you know what to expect. 1) Sawyer and Company is on the premises of the former Arkie's. Arkie's was an old school 1950's style diner - real deal not fake re-creation with Elvis 45s pinned on to the wall. The original Arkie's looked and felt like a lunch counter which was the way it was supposed to look and feel. The food was utterly mediocre. It was a pure atmosphere play ... So you ordered scrambled eggs and toast and hoped today's coffee wouldn't be too bad. 2) The decorating job that has been done on Arkie's is first rate. It is Yuppie reimagination of 50s style. This retro style shows up all over Austin. The real deal people at Arkie's would not have approved one bit. But their taste in decorating was about as good as what they put on the plates. I am just as happy the original owners were NOT involved in the interior makeover. Now the place is eye candy all the way. 3) I was too sick to think about ordering anything from the bar. But the liquor offerings at the bar look really misconceived. There is a lot of the cheap booze that shows up in college establishments. Seriously consider staying sober when you come here. If you must drink, drink beer. 4) My stomach was fine although much of the rest of me was not. So I made a stab at the deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were just like my Mom used to make. My Mom was not real good with deviled eggs. They get total authenticity points for this one. 5) The people were as nice as they could possibly be. I stayed there until I was in shape to move on. It was a lovely place to be. * * * Some day I would like to come back and really check the place out properly. Breakfast seems to be their main activity. Given the low bar set by the original Arkie's The odds are good there has been some improvement. read more

Great happy hour for both food and beverages! The food menu offers a lot of great appetizer options to choose from. We ordered fried pickles as a snack and were surprised by how generous the serving size was. I initially ordered the signature frozen cocktail, which ended up being a frozen that was overall a good drink despite being a bit light. I would definitely go back for the Mexican martini, which comes with a shaker and a glass with olives. Once poured the amount in the shaker is definitely enough for two drinks, which made the value even better! Our waiter did a great job informing us about the best things to order off both happy hour and normal menus. There is an adequate amount of indoor and outdoor seating areas, both of which I'd say are pretty aesthetically pleasing. I definitely will be coming back if I'm looking for a causal spot to grab drinks or a quick sit down bite at! read more
