    Food is good. The cheese hash browns are out of this world. Totally unexpected. The salmon plate is really good. Carrots are pickled and makes it an amazing combination with dill. Hash is good. Pancakes are really good. Good experience.

    WE LOVE PAPERBOY!!!! One of the best brunch spots in Austin. Get your reservation 2-3 wks in advance for a weekend date; always worth it.

    The wife wanted to come here and I had to get a reservation 3 weeks ahead to get the time we wanted which was no big deal. It’s a cozy place. The food was fine, but didn’t blow our minds. The chicken on the chicken and biscuit plate was delicious, but the hearty gravy clashed with the sweetness of the chicken. It just seemed like the flavors weren’t meant to be on the same plate. The wife liked the pancake. We both got the hash brown and it was tasty and interesting because it sat on a carrot/habanero smear. I did not like the Bloody Mary. The mix was chunky and the smoky flavor was not good. We are glad that we experienced it, but will likely not return for another meal.

    We were disappointed that several of the shareables were sold out but our waitress took great care of us and even provided an additional side in the house as an apology since there were out of 3 of the items we wanted. She was fantastic and the cheese hashbrown was by far the best I’ve ever had. I should have ordered two. Cinnamon toast was out of this world.
