The Toughest Reservations In Austin Right Now (And How To Get Them) 2024 - Austin - The Infatuation

"Verdict: Housed in a historic Victorian mansion in Bouldin Creek, Mattie’s has been a longtime dining destination serving Southern-inspired fare, whether you’re seated in the stylish dining room or on the elegant porch under the majestic live oaks amidst the peacocks who roam the grounds. Dinner here is a more classy, romantic affair, but Mattie’s is dependably solid during brunch, with dishes like fried chicken eggs benedict and a phenomenal milk punch french toast. A dinner reservation at Mattie’s isn’t too difficult to get your hands on, but you’re not here for dinner—you’re here for brunch. Reservations open up a month in advance, and you’ll need to be right on time if you want to secure a weekend table." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
