Cute little retro diner on East Austin. The lattes were pretty good, but the food was a hit or miss. The chicken with pancakes was decent enough until it got too sweet and the wagyu burger was just sad looking. Nothing too impressive with either meals. There's plenty of parking in the adjacent lot and the outdoor patio was plentiful with seats.
Great brunch spot!!! Had some delicious shrimp and grits. I'd totally go back if I was in the area again. The fried pickles were yum too. The decor was super retro and cute as well.
such a cute vibe!!! service was great and the food was even better. i'll definitely be back to try more items. the grits were ON POINT. Biscuits too! very much recommend
The food was delicious. The chicken fried steaks was mouthwatering-ly good, the batter was delicious and has so much flavor. The meat so scrumptious and savory. The dry was delicious and the side that came with made it on the next level. The Baja fish taco was amazing, so much favor in every bite.
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!
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).
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.
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!
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!!
We went as a group of 7. For the most part we all enjoyed our main dish apart from the mac and cheese which tasted expired. I had gotten the two egg breakfast and was surprised by how big the portions were. We were sat outside after a 45 min wait which was expected since it's a small place. My first issue was that we wernt given any ice just a carafe of water. Server arrived 5-10mins after being sat very neutral service. At the end we were charged on the handheld device separate checks and upon asking if auto grad was included he stated it was NOT, well we tipped 20%. Later doing the math realized he lied and that's why he all of a sudden became chipper.Management needs to make sure there servers aren't scamming people!!! Very disappointed as we are from out of town and won't be able to go in person to speak to management
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.
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
This place is super cute. Plenty of seating. And they serve alcohol SUPER EARLY. Came in on a Friday morning around 10am and We didn't have a wait. The food takes a while to come out. Service was great, everyone was attentive. I got the chicken biscuit, the biscuit was delicioussssss my friend got the two egg breakfast with a side of pancakes, and two coffees for $32 (with tip)
Sawyer & Co is a pretty solid brunch spot. It felt like a very classy/ modern diner. Staff were pleasant and the food was great. I especially liked the pancakes. Super fluffy! The only thing I will say, is that the Vietnamese coffee is not authentic. I'm used to a more strong flavor - but this was a good iced coffee on its own! read more

My dad and I stopped here for a quick brunch after seeing the abundance of rave reviews on both Yelp and Google. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to my expectations. The service was decent, with friendly staff, and the kitchen accidentally sent us an extra side for free, but the food was not good enough to make me want to return. We started with Sawyer's Famous Biscuits, which were probably the best part of the meal. They were fluffy but crispier than most biscuits I've had, and I enjoyed the contrast in textures. Of course, it also helps that biscuits are hard to dislike when served with whipped butter and house preserves. For my main, I ordered the Little Bit of Chicken Fried. The fried chicken breasts were mediocre and slightly dry, the green beans were undercooked, the cornbread was overly crumbly, and the poblano gravy lacked flavor. My dad ordered the Barbacoa Benedict and was not impressed either. The eggs were overcooked, and after one bite, he left the crispy potato cakes untouched. We both heavily disliked the grits, which our waitress had recommended. Like the poblano gravy, they essentially tasted like water, with little to no seasoning or flavor. We were lucky, or perhaps unlucky, enough to receive two orders of them. Overall, there were a few positives, mainly the biscuits and friendly service, but the rest of the meal was extremely underwhelming. With so many highly rated brunch spots in the area, I do not think the food here is worth going out of your way for. read more

Stopped by for a quick brunch and ordered the eggs Benedict. Their patio is dog-friendly, which we loved and definitely appreciated, but the space itself felt a bit unclean and grimy. The food was just okay--very standard eggs Benedict, but nothing that really stood out or left us wanting more. Overall, it's a decent option if you're looking for a casual dog-friendly patio, but based on this visit, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back. 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

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

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

Love the new menu, especially the house-cured Salmon Lox Benedict if you're in the mood for breakfast or brunch...the Crispy Potato Cakes, the Fried Green Tomatoes... Friday's Fish n' Chips Blue Plate with a glass of true Champagne... Delicious cocktails and wine, or a fun local beer on tap... with a legit third wave espresso coffee trailer on the beautiful patio! Always in the mood for a cortado, macchiato, matcha latte, golden turmeric latte, or shot of espresso. Yum. Yum. Yum. 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
