Austin Diner Chain Kerbey Lane Opens Eighth Location in Mueller | Eater Austin

"Austin’s favorite diner chain Kerbey Lane Cafe opened its next restaurant up in Mueller at 2200 Aldrich Street on Friday, December 7; the eighth location continues the chain’s made-from-scratch comfort-food tradition that began in 1980 when founders Patricia Atkinson and David Ayer opened the original, and the business remains 100% family-owned with son Mason Mayer as CEO. Known for a diner menu full of pancakes, breakfast dishes, sandwiches, queso and late-night dining, the Mueller outpost—designed by Richard Weiss with interiors by Kris Swift—includes a bar, a pet-friendly outdoor lounge, and a chef’s table, and it’s staffed under executive chef Joe Anguiano, who was hired earlier this spring after working at the shuttered South Lamar restaurant Vox Table. The Mueller site was chosen after residents staged an “eat-in” at the original Kerbey Lane in 2013; unlike many other Kerbey locations the Mueller hours aren’t 24/7, opening 6:30 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Friday and 6:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Saturday." - Nadia Chaudhury
