    Service was wonderful. Pacing was just right. Delicious biscuits and fried green tomatoes. Steak was cooked perfectly, but the pepper gravy had too much pepper, somewhat overpowering the steak. Chocolate chip cookies baked perfectly but had too much salt atop; not needed.

     We always love going to Colleen’s Kitchen for lunch. The last three times we’ve been there, Travis has served us impeccably. He is cordial and attentive to the needs of our group of older women and accommodates our need to turn down the music level in our little corner of the restaurant.  The food is so good, the atmosphere is lovely, and we never miss the chance to enjoy their warm chocolate chip cookie for dessert. Thanks y’all; see you again soon!

    I moved to Austin 5 years ago and one day that I went to Farmer's Market I saw Colleen's Kitchen, I tried to get in with my family and there was no availability. Since then I've been wanting to go and finally this Sunday I was able to go, sadly it was very disappointing. Food was ok, and I can't say the service was bad, but it seemed that they don't pay attention or they don't care to what clients order or want. We ordered eggs different ways and wanted the waffle after the eggs. They brought the waffle first so we return it and when we asked for it, it was cold. I ordered my eggs over-easy and they were fully cooked. We wanted more coffee and there was none.
