Downtown Austin Brunches to Try This Weekend

Here are the top brunch locations in Downtown Austin, according to Yelp. Which one is your favorite?

1. Moonshine Patio Bar and Grill

303 Red River St

Yelp reviewer Anna Z. from Aurora, CO said: “A gem within Austin! If you like brunch buffets and southern foods for a cheap, reasonable price, this is the spot for you! Though the wait can get to over an hour on weekends, you can always put your name down and take a stroll through the neighboring city life to pass the time. My friends and I went to the state capitol and then walked back which only took about 10 minutes.”

2. Arturo’s Underground Cafe

314 W 17th St

Yelp reviewer Bailey B. from Austin, TX said: “Friendly staff and delicious food. The only problems you’ll have here is deciding what to order because it all sounds so good. The Spicy Alamo Benedict was amazing and my boyfriend let me try a bite of his El Diablo- which was equally as good. If you’re looking for a cozy, laid back atmosphere and some hearty breakfast foods, this is the go to spot.”

3. Messhall Cafe

1019 Brazos St

Yelp reviewer Derrick S. from Austin, TX said: “I have been eating at Messhall Cafe since I discovered them last year. They are not out to redefine your dining experience, give you free range anything, or make you overpay. The space itself is very basic, as is the food, but that’s the charm of coming here. I typically get a burger and fries, which comes in at very affordable $6. The staff there is very friendly, remembers regulars, and they all have a good sense of humor.”

4. Second Bar + Kitchen

200 Congress Ave

Yelp reviewer Summer A. from Houston, TX said: “I had such low expectations for this place but I was blown away. The service, quality of food and prices has me questioning why i have never been here before. This is a great place for every occasion and whatever you do, order the fried pickles.”

5. Eureka!

200 E 6th St 

Yelp reviewer Katerina T. from Austin, TX said: “Visited yesterday for the first time with no expectations really and was so impressed by the good service, food & drinks. I kind of don’t want to tell anyone about this place, it’s that good. Not a place to go for a healthy meal, only caveat...it’s fancy southern/American/comfort food.”
