23 Classic Restaurants In Austin
"Magnolia Cafe is older, and Toasty Badger is better, but Kerbey Lane Cafe is Austin’s quintessential diner, having ballooned to nine locations across the area since 1980. The original, a renovated bungalow, is easily the most charming. Any of them are usually packed, though, especially on weekends. You'll find just about every demographic under one roof: a couple in athleisure, parents begging their children to settle down, and friends who couldn’t get a reservation at a trendy spot like Paperboy. The highlight at Kerbey Lane is the migas platter served over tortilla chips, but their menu has all of the requisite diner staples, too." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
