"There’s diner DNA in the bones of Day Maker, a restaurant built in the shell of a former IHOP near Zilker Park. This is where people come to brunch before a day at the park. (Add yourself to the online waitlist before heading out, or get ready to face a multi-hour wait on the weekends.) Once you’re in, you’ll realize why everyone was willing to doomscroll on their phones near the entryway for so long—this is a classic diner done different. Pancakes get topped with churro dust and horchata butter, huevos rancheros arrive on a crispy tostada, and even a classic eggs benedict gets served over masa cakes and topped with spicy chorizo." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
