We had such a wonderful experience at Blue Lacy Restart thanks to GALUH, one of the best service staff we’ve ever met! From the moment we sat down, he was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect for us. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented — every dish looked and tasted amazing. Gaulap went above and beyond to check on us, offer suggestions, and make us feel truly valued as guests. His friendly attitude and professionalism made our visit so much more enjoyable. I’ve attached photos of what we ordered so you can see for yourself — highly recommended for both the great food and the outstanding service! THANK YOU GALUH

Finally tried this place after visiting the Thinkery with my toddler, and it was really pleasant. I’m sure it’s different on a weekend or a busy evening, but midday midweek was very cozy and good service! I ordered the salmon bagel (breakfast is served all day), and really enjoyed the sun dried tomato relish on top. It’s not the best bagel in town, but I’d happily order again. They serve breakfast all day, and I love that they have a little coffee menu. It was also a pretty kid friendly experience. I have a talkative toddler, and both the bartender/barista and our server were gracious and responsive to him. The kids menu is standard and perfect for most kids. They even have some games and toys in the back sitting area. According to their signage, kids eat free on Monday during happy hour (5-7p). They have a dog-friendly patio and even have a dog menu. I would definitely bring my family, including pup, again.

Had dinner at Blue Lacy tonight and had a truly great experience. Thaw, my waiter, was friendly and attentive throughout the evening, making me feel well taken care of. The highlight of the night was the perfectly cooked steak by Chef Sonya flavorful, tender, and done just right. Compliments to the kitchen and the whole team. I’ll definitely be back!

If you haven’t been to this little gem in Austin yet, I highly recommend it. I stopped in while in the area for work, and was immediately planning my return after meeting Jim the bartender (he is the best!) was and having the Power bowl with chicken! Chef Gavin did such amazing job that I was thinking about this power bowl after the fact. I just went back a second time and had the Powerball with salmon, and it was amazing! The atmosphere is so chill and the decor is so modern and fun. Huge shout out to Gail, the manager, she was so sweet, friendly, and helpful, this is what a great restaurant is all about. Must try! I should’ve taken a picture of my Power bowl with salmon before I ate it, but here’s what it look like after a few bites!

This omelet was amazing. Soft, fluffy, and full of flavor. The cheese inside was melty and delicious, and the veggies made it taste fresh. It came with hash browns that were crisp and light. Everything was cooked just right. Simple, but perfect. I would definitely order it again.

Had the breakfast bowl with ham and side of a pancake and I’m telling you the food was delicious. The servers were great and the chef was quick. Would come back again.

Jim and the lady serving coffee were pleasant. However the food was awful. Ordered the buttermilk waffles with the strawberry compote. I wish I had taken a photo. I was served flat chewy disks which were burnt on the edges topped with two chunks of butter and diced aged (grey) strawberries in syrup. The description mentioned a fresh fruit garnish- there was none. I couldn’t finish the waffles because they tasted like cardboard with butter. Sadly, there was not enough strawberry “compote” (more like diced strawberries in syrup) to save these waffles. I brought them home to feed my dogs in an effort to recoup some money spent. Definitely not worth the $15 they charge.

Came into town for SxSW and stayed at the connecting hotel. Both nights I had a delighted experience thanks to bartenders Jim Gain and Nathan (and their corresponding chefs). Literally some of the best pancakes I’ve had!! Also the fries were delicious. Wasn’t too busy, I was greeted as soon as I stepped in the establishment.

Just needs to be cleaned. I don't know if it is a management issue or if they are under staffed. The food was ok, but the servers need to step up their service!

I'd never heard of this place until I discovered it on a stroll around Mueller, and my friend and I decided to give it a try for our weekly Sunday brunch. They serve breakfast all day and the breakfast menu was small, and to my mind pretty run-of-the-mill. It all seemed a bit pricey to me, but I am cheap and still not fully resigned to the fact that even a basic breakfast tends to be $15 these days. I ordered a breakfast bagel. It cost a mere $12, but when my plate arrived, it felt pretty skimpy. It consisted of a plain egg bagel, an egg fried hard (which I dislike, but no one had asked), hashbrowns that were not brown (but they were cooked through and fairly tasty), some smoked Gouda, and two slices of very good bacon. But the kicker, and my friend, and I both laughed about it, was the side of fruit. it was basically a thimble of three blueberries, two small chunks of strawberry, and two very thin slices of pineapple. It seemed ridiculously tiny. My friend was happy with her Breakfast Bowl--perfectly soft-scrambled eggs, more of that good bacon, undercooked hash browns, and a little bit of avocado "crema." The service was friendly but quite slow, even though the place was the opposite of crowded. They validate parking for the nearby McBee parking garage, which was nice. Austin has so many places for brunch. Some of them have very good prices for good food. Some of them have higher prices for exquisite food. Some of them have menu items that are so unusual or so good, you just have to come back. But as my friend and I walked away from Blue Lacey, we agreed that we agreed that although it was pleasant enough, neither of us felt any desire to come back.

We visited Blue Lacy for happy hour on a Friday. We were the only ones in the restaurant for a while so it was kind of awkwardly quiet. I ordered the Power Bowl as a vegan option and it was very underwhelming. I had to substitute the Avocado Crema for balsamic vinegar and overall the plate was really lacking flavor. Our server was pleasant and accommodating for dietary restrictions, but was forgetful and our wine bottle took a long time to come out. The happy hour deals were strong, but likely would pick a different spot in Mueller next time.

Great food and bartender, laughably bad service. Very difficult to place an order, we never got our appetizer, the server didn't know anything about the menu. My husband ordered a burger and the server said "wow that's a lot of food for one person", it was awkward. We tried to order more drinks but couldn't find our server, finally we left

Currently this place sits at a 2 1/2 star rating which normally would have me steering clear. However, my morbid sense of curiosity got a hold of me thinking that maybe my visit will be better than those one and two star reviews. It's quite apparent they spent some money building this high ceiling modern interior establishment. There's not a lot of street parking available, so you'll probably have to use the parking garage across the way for two dollars an hour. It turns out this place and the Origin Hotel next-door will not validate your parking ticket. We got here during the Monday noon lunch hour rush, and we were the only other couple in the building apart from one person using Wi-Fi in the back. I was surprised that they had such a very limited food menu, although you can order food for your dog. Personally, I think adding dog food to the menu is not exactly a brilliant idea (it conjures all kinds of ideas as to what's going on in the kitchen). We started off with two glasses of water, (no straws and lip prints on rim). I ordered the chocolate shake which came with a nice big straw, but unfortunately it was more like chocolate milk than ice cream and it was $7! I had the Nolan Ryan burger, which comes with one slice of unmelted American cheese and no pickles. It was good, just not amazing. My friend had the fairly salty chicken sandwich. Their fries are actually very tasty. Two things that stand out, they have a full bar with some craft beers along with wine and they actually use real silverware and cloth napkins. Being the only other couple in the place, our service was attentive. At least we can say we didn't fall into the one to two star ranking, but this was not a four or five star experience either. As many other yelpers have already said, there's plenty of other places to try within a short walk of this place, but it works if you're expectations aren't too high. Plenty of photos included to highlight this review.

Came here for a happy drink and snack. I was thrown off by the sprinkles in my glass but they went well with the frose. Texas fries aka chili cheese fries were filling but tasty. My 2nd drink was a tropical one, it was good just a little too sweet. Can't say I would drink more than 1. The ambiance is great for hanging out or having dinner. There were couches and a great patio to chill on once it's cooler.

Excellent food and service. Love the ambiance, laid back but looks like a high end diner. All the staff we interacted with were super cool. Bartenders Michael and Franklin were fun to chat with while they were super attentive to all the guests. Food was on point! Had a $12 ribeye steak special last night (ate it too fast to take a picture, it was awesome) and came back this morning to have the chorizo hash breakfast. Highly recommend! Note that they changed management 2 months ago - ignore the bad reviews posted before then, give them a chance, it'll be worth it!

All day brunch! Food was delicious. I got the breakfast tacos. They were huge! We ordered a carafe for $27. Everything was fresh. Plenty of patio space. I enjoyed people watching. Service was excellent. The staff was attentive.

I wanted to love this place out of convenience. It's right next to the Thinkery and they serve Lick ice cream- it had all the components to be "our spot" after playing. Unfortunately, just had below average service today and I don't believe we will be back. When we walked in they let us know they were hosting an event outside and in half of the indoor restaurant area- we were fine because it was still early and they had plenty of open tables. When we were finally seated we weren't offered water or drinks for at least fifteen minutes. We had four children, two being impatient toddlers. Thankfully we had snacks on hand but it felt weird having to bring in outside food while we waited for water. We finally got a server over and tried to order from the kids menu for the children that they had handed us. We were then told half the menu was no longer available as it was considered breakfast. But it was very pick and choose. They had waffles but we could not order pancakes...just strange. Normally wouldn't care- but it wasn't specified on the menu they handed the kids. We scrambled to find food we thought they'd eat. This was when our next big wait came- it took forever to bring out the food. Once it arrived my chicken and waffles was cold. I got a side of $7 mashed potatoes that was about the size of an average scoop of ice cream. Getting our check was an entire ordeal and our server seemed to really be avoiding our table but was very attentive to all the others around us. I get it, kids make a dining experience hard. But this restaurant is right next to the kids museum. They have a kids menu. They have high chairs. It almost seemed like the kids were not welcome there at noon on a Thursday. If you're at the Thinkery and are browsing reviews for a place to eat after with your kids- skip this place. Colleen's kitchen was fantastic to us and just a few steps away. Kerbey lane is a short walk down as well...and they are consistently great!

Oof. I wanted to love this place. Right next to the Thinkery, super cute vibe, quiet enough. Menu was interesting enough, seemed like there was something for everyone. Service was friendly, but could use some training on things like two bite checkups, making sure everyone at the table had napkins and utensils, and just generally staying nearby in case your table needs you. In addition to most things being burnt, and the bacon tasting like it was cooked in OLD grease, everyone with modifications got incorrect orders. Plain kids pancakes came out with powdered sugar. They actually caught that before bringing it out, but they brought everyone else's food out while our toddler had to wait... Then my daughter was supposed to get sausage instead of bacon. She didn't. They finally brought it out when the rest of us were done and they looked like hockey pucks. My husband was supposed to have cream cheese with his bagel, they forgot it. The kids eggs were filled with black pepper too. Oh yeah, and the kids milk that we asked for with the kids pancakes, was $4. $4 extra for a small cup of cow's milk. We wanted to order coffee after our food arrived, but the server never came back so we didn't. I would absolutely not recommend going to this restaurant when there are so many great options nearby.

My dog goes with me practically everywhere I go so I love a good diner with a pet friendly patio. My favorite part about Blue Lacy has to be the location/it's environment. The Mueller area has to be one of my favorite places to casually walk around on my day off and the Blue Lacy patio is perfect for me and my pup to chill. The first time I had come I had a wonderful experience but this time around didn't quite match it. It took a while for me to get service outside (I had to grab my own menu and go inside to ask for a server) and my waitress had missed some of the usual things like a glass of water, utensils/napkins, and condiments for the food. They serve food for dogs but the portion was very little for my 90 lb dog so I ended up getting her 2 bowls. I ordered myself the Clubhouse sandwich and was honestly a little disappointed with how small and average the food was. I recommend this place more for the location and chill area, but if you're looking for a killer meal, I'd pass this one up.

This is a very much belated review from our May 29th // Memorial Day visit. I was very saddened by the whole thing because we were made to wait for a table, made to wait to order, made to wait for the food. After 45 minutes still did not get our food. They were not busy, about 4 to 5 tables occupied! We left without eating since our order wasn't near ready! I would have liked to try them out because they are super dog friendly and I heard great things about them. I will be back to give it another try.

I love this breakfast spot. Their double stack of buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and cinnamon apple compote on the side is a delicious start to your day. I sipped on an oatmilk latte while I waited for my food. It was a bit room temp but delicious nonetheless. My fiancé enjoyed the blue lacy breakfast with chicken sausage. I got a bite of the chicken sausage and it is delicious! I appreciate Blue Lacy's great service, the googie/mid-century modern decor and SpongeBob playing on the TV.

As I was looking for a place to camp out for 30 minutes to an hour before my movie at Alamo Drafthouse, I thought I would try Blue Lacy despite all of the negative reviews I had seen. I walked in and the staff was sitting on the patron barstools and no one was behind the counter. It looked like something similar to a hostel where everyone was just hanging out and feeding themselves. I ordered one drink on an expensive happy hour and left feeling quite uncomfortable as someone was training and being micro-managed while they whipped together some simple syrup...I will not be back.

Blue Lacy felt like a comfortable spot. Dog friendly of course with menu options for your dog as well. Felt like a slow, sleepy diner in here, but looks modern! Our waitress was sweet and the food came out quickly. It's a decent meal.

We visited Blue Lacy on a Friday evening and we were seated immediately. We were very impressed with their outdoor dining area (which is dog friendly). It was a chilly night, so we sat inside (although they do have fire pits if you choose to sit outdoors). We weren't in the mood for a big meal and split the Texas Fries and clubhouse sandwich between two people. I'd order the Texas fries again and the clubhouse sandwich wasn't bad. Fast and friendly service. If you're in the mood for breakfast for dinner, Blue Lacy has plenty of options. They even have a menu for your pup!

Really not good. I just got the sliders. I couldn't see that they were preparing food for anyone else. When I got them, they were overcooked and so cold the cheese wouldn't melt.

First time here today and I was thoroughly impressed. I arrived with my dog and they immediately brought out a bowl of water and let me know that they have a dog menu! I ordered my pup Finn the chicken bowl and he devoured it (he is picky). The ambience inside and outside is trendy and cozy and the cleanliness of everything was refreshing for an austin bar. Franklin was my server and he anticipated my every need and gave me all the details of the happy hour offerings. The happy hour was a great deal - stop by for a 5 dollar burger from 3-6 on weekdays, it's a great bang for your buck. My server Franklin even turned on the fire pit for me outside and Finn curled up right next to it to relax into his food coma. I love to find a dog-friendly bar that has friendly staff and wonderful energy.

Paid $15 for a cold meatloaf 'melt'. Cheese cold, meat just below lukewarm. Took about 15 minutes to come out, which is fine if you're expecting hot food but this wasn't. Restaurant wasn't busy, we were the only table that was waiting on food. They couldn't have cared less about this cold sandwich. Had to take it home and heat it up myself.

What a nice surprise to find this very reasonably-priced eatery in the middle of Austin's Mueller development. Sunday seemed to be a breakfast-all-day affair, and there were several appetizing breakfast options, good coffee and a full cocktail and drinks selection on offer. Service was swiftly and efficiently provided by the delightful staff. I ordered tacos and expected one or two little ones -- what came was three very generous tacos with a bowl of good mixed fruit. The booth where we were seated was pleasantly quiet -- a nice spot for proper conversation without having to shout, which can be an issue at other Mueller venues. We'll be back!

Cute cute cute! Blue Lacy is the spacious all-day restaurant for the new Origin hotel in Mueller. The entrance is right across from Lick Ice Cream and B.D. Riley's. There is a really nice, big outdoor seating area with a firepit that will be great for lounging once the weather cools down. The indoor dining area is also fantastic and can accommodate a larger group. This place is great for a casual coffee date, work lunch, or drinks with friends in the evening. The menu has a good amount of options and the atmosphere is awesome. I'll be back soon, I'm sure! (No validated parking so you'll need to find your own street metered parking or pay for garage parking.)

Blue Lacy was highly anticipated when it opened because the neighborhood needed a new restaurant. They have a very nice courtyard with a fire and couches. The menu is basic diner-type food, and the interior is mid-century modern diner-like. Unfortunately for them, I guess, they are in an Internet hole, one of many in Mueller. So it doesn't function as a place to get any work done with a drink or coffee. What they do have is a Frose machine! So on a hot night, it is a nice place to get a glass of frose--if you can get there before 9pm! I'm not sure why they want to close so early when the bars around them stay open until 2am every night. Those places have devoted crowds. Blue Lacy hasn't cultivated the same devotion.

I got breakfast this morning with some friends. The courtyard space is cute and lots of people bring their dogs since there's a small doggy menu. Our server was nice and service was relatively quick. I ordered the Blue Lacy Breakfast with a side of pancakes. The Blue Lacy breakfast was decent. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either -- just your run-of-the-mill breakfast plate. The pancakes were decent as well -- fluffy and huge. While waiting for my food, I was checking out the kitchen and saw the chefs opening bags of Eggo waffles which was..interesting. Overall, it was a decent breakfast. But, with so many other great eateries in the area, I wouldn't recommend it to tourists visiting.

I really enjoyed the food! I had the Breakfast Bagel (I think that's what it was called), and it was soooo good. I was a little surprised about how empty it was. I've gone a few times and I've only ever seen 1-2 other customers there. A downside of Blue Lacy is that there is no internet. Every time I eat there my phone goes on SOS (along with the people I've eaten with). It immediately starts working when I leave the building. Maybe it's a good thing ‍ Just be aware that you won't be able to do anything on your phone/computer.

So this place totally outshines the adjacent hotel that hosts it Blue Lacy became my Oasis in my crazy two days of judging in Austin. Thank you, thank you, thank you Blue Lacy. The cocktails and the food are amazing the service makes it second to none in Austin. The atmosphere is very hipster boutique embracing the retro you'd expect. This chef doesn't miss. I've tried several dishes, both breakfast and dinner have loved everything I've ordered. Highly recommend the cocktail, Lavender Lemon drops(tastes as good as it looks in my photos) for starters, Hummus. The apps are to die for especially the hummus with olive relish. So good. The curry with added chicken was wonderful but even better was the gnocchi with added salmon(it was the biggest serving of salmon I've ever received in any restaurant, that's right the portions are also Texas sized. That chef wants you leaving full and happy. Check out my pics of decor and food. Don't pass this place by its delightful with great food and wonderful service. Thank you again Blue Lacy!

This is definitely more of a brunch/lunch spot. Overall the food was good and the portion sizes were large enough to be two meals for me. Our waiter was very friendly and very helpful with pointing out his favorite dishes. I loved the Blue Lacy Jubilee but I didn't like the fries that came as my side. They were pretty soggy.

The outdoor courtyard space with the firepit drew us in... and it was so vibey. There's one of your stars. Then the service was very, very kind. Jessie was an absolute delight and he really helped work around my nephews allergies. GOLD star right there. Foodwise - the burger, the blackened chicken and the chicken fried ribeye were all too salty. The waffles are pre-made, refrigerated and then deep fried - they were hard and dry. I'll give them that the healthy food was fresh - good quality greens, etc.

Very few patrons for a Saturday night which was good because there appeared to only be one waiter. It was difficult to get his attention when we wanted more water, more dressing, etc. I ordered Caesar salad with chicken - did not care for the spicy chicken and since they had no plain chicken they brought me salmon (at no additional cost which was nice). Burger and fries were good, cauliflower bites and avocado toast were excellent, meat loaf - wouldn't order again but portion could have been half as much. The Curry bowl was tasty. The waiter was very kind but seemed to be the only one and quite busy for the 4-5 small groups there. They were out of regular coke - that was a first! We are from out of town so we won't be back but hope this critique is constructive.

I have wanted Blue Lacy to be a tasty, fun place to go, but after many visits, I won't be back after today. My first time was when they had just opened and the service was poor, items missing from the order, and orders cooked incorrectly. I went back a month later and had the same experience. Again last December, and after that time I decided I wouldn't go back to a place that was routinely awful and pricey. Today, my group decided to give it one more try (mostly because the other area restaurants were busy). It should have been enough of a hint when they place was less than half empty but we decided to try again. The first thing we noticed was that it was very warm - not a pleasant eating environment after coming from outside. The server explained that the A/C had been a problem for a while and was supposed to be fixed but still hadn't been. As I inexperienced in the past, it took an extended period of time to even get water. Then the drinks took a good while longer and we had to ask again for some that just never showed up. We were asked how we wanted our food cooked and the kitchen apparently completely ignored it - a burger that was requested to be pink in the middle should not come out with the texture of a dog bone. Entrees came before one of the appetizers and we had to ask again for the appetizer (Texas fries without chili) and it came out later on covered in chili. Empty drinks all around the table and nobody from the restaurant was coming by. When we were finished, we put the credit card out to pay. After ten minutes more of no one coming by, one of our party brought the card to the server. As a group of six, we had an automatic 20% gratuity added. I am not sure if this was a bad experience because of the server or equally the bar, kitchen, and manager, but 20% for that service was a bad joke. I am genuinely surprised they are still in business.

The Mueller area has grown so much and the restaurant scene has improved greatly so we were hopeful about this new restaurant, especially as an alternative option to classic breakfast fare. Unfortunately, there were many service and food issues. You could clearly see the cook staff and wait staff get into many arguments about food not being delivered and placed correctly. You could also see other tables get visibly irritated about how long food took to come out. (However, I usually give the benefit of the doubt in case the kitchen is under-staffed) In addition, we had to flag down wait staff for simple items like refills and to pay the bill. In terms of the food, there was a huge potential for it to be good, but our food was placed under the heat lamp for so long that the tops were over cooked and even burned. On top of that, the food that wasn't placed under the heat lamp was cold and gummy. We ordered some of the Blue Lacy classics (notated by the picture of a dog on their menu) and it was incredibly disappointing. Pancakes were dense and chewy, monte cristo was bland, chili was oily and over-salted (and burnt). Our guests were so horribly disappointed with the service and food that we were absolutely mortified to have dined here. There is so much potential for this restaurant and the location is fantastic for foot-traffic. In addition, the general ambience was clean and inviting. However, even as a local I cannot in good faith recommend this restaurant to anyone until the food and service issues are resolved. It would take a significant improvement for us to dine here again.

Went a couple of days ago for lunch. Only 2 other tables besides us. Took over 25 minutes for our food to come out and when it did....gross. My partners "melt" was cold! Cheese not melted and the side of chili fries were mushy. My club was basic and the Turkey tasted like packaged lunch meat. When we complained about the "melt" they were indifferent. Will NOT be back. Unfortunate bc we live and work nearby.

This place is brand new, staff is training still and they're getting their feet under them. A little kindness and understanding of that, and you can enjoy yourself instead of criticizing the staff and kitchen as they get things dialed in. The food is good, the drinks are a little soft, but they rectify it immediately if you let them know. Everyone is nice and friendly. Give it a shot, I'll definitely be back

We live in the neighborhood and we've tried this place 4 times now over a period of 6 months. Each time hoping that it would be better. Pros: They make a good burger and the fries are fantastic. Unfortunately, that's where it ends. Cons: Where do I begin? For starters, they have a staffing problem. Twice we have been when the place was only half full and still waited for 20-30 mins to be sat. Today's experience was as follows: We were told to sit anywhere we liked (only 1 other table was occupied) so no wait. We were served room temperature water which is fine, but it would have been nice to have been offered ice. I asked what the Blue Plate Special of the day was (listed prominently on the menu) and the server said he didn't know. He left to go ask and returned to tell us there was not one. My sister in law asked what the "sliders of the day" were and he looked confused and said "cheeseburgers". Fine. We were looking for a small meal before going to a movie so my wife and I ordered the Meatloaf Patty Melt to split and my sister-in law ordered the Texas Fries (an appetizer she was just going to have as her entree). 5-10 mins passed and the waiter returned to apologize. They were out of chili and couldn't make the Texas Fries (I should mention here that this is the 3rd time out of 4 visits that we attempted to order something that they turned out not to have). She ordered the burger which we have had before and knew to be decent. Tick tock, tick tock..... 10 mins later, her burger arrives. The fries were fantastic and the burger was good. Nothing to write home about, but good. As she sat eating her burger, the waiter again apologized for the wait and said our meatloaf sandwich would be out in 5 mins or so. 10 mins later we began to contemplate leaving cash on the table for the burger (which she had finished by now) and simply leaving, but at this point, we were starving so we waited it out. 5 or so minutes later, he arrives with our sandwich. One look and I was already not impressed, but as he went on to explain the delay, I was even LESS impressed. As he described it "it took longer because the meatloaf is frozen and had to be warmed in the oven". Yes. He actually told us, in no uncertain terms, that the meatloaf they were serving us took forever because it was frozen. I guess I should be thankful they warmed it in an oven and not a microwave? We ate a few bites, it was fine, but not what I would expect with for $22. I've had far better pattymelts at fast food establishments (read "Whataburger") Long/short, we have never had a good experience and we've tried to give them every opportunity. If it weren't for the hotel they are in, I don't see any way this place could keep their doors open. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. Took us 4 times to learn our lesson. Don't be like us.

We visited here twice. And we had two very different experiences. The bartender just had a very disgusting interaction with a fellow new bartender (4 days to be exact). While trying to enjoy my drink she continued to harass this young man about his hiring credentials (based on the convo she had no part in that). Eventually she asked him to leave. Mind you this all occurred behind the bar, not even off to the side or in some kind of privacy. It was so bad I am actually mad at myself for not defending him. I would never recommend this place as long they have the bartender. Her name was Ava. I would give it zero if possible.

I missed my flight and the airline put me up at the hotel attached to this restaurant. So just up front - my review may be biased based on being tired and frustrated - but here you go. The service was great. I was seated at the counter right away. It was later in the evening and a Wednesday so not very busy. My server at the counter was great. She was very attentive and took care of everyone at the counter. I ordered the sliders and Diet Coke. The cook a also behind the co

Nice ambience. The food was good but we were there on a Sunday morning and they were out of cold brew, hollandaise (and something else, overheard the table behind us). My side of bacon was in a small container (crumbled bacon which I wasn't expecting) and it came out when I was almost done with my meal. My friend's order didn't come out until we were almost done, and hers was cold. Condiment bottles at the table were empty. Server didn't do a quality check.

dudeeeee wtf. I'm gonna keep this short. This is my second time coming here and yes they were out of almost everything I asked for but the b/c of the young kid that took my order during happy hour the first time I came I didn't even mind b/c he was so so nice. BUT THIS TIME.... wtf they were out of hamburger meat? so I got these salty Ass chili fries & Then ordered two meals for my dog (they offer a dog menu,which is great) except they were out of almost everything that goes in it so I got a To-go box full of quinoa & 6 diced pieces of chicken. I obv sent it back & ordered chicken with rice & THEY GAVE ME NEXT TO FROZEN HARD ASS RICE. do yourself a favor & go somewhere else. Austin is full of dog friendly spots idk why I brought my ass over here.... TWICE! I posted my review before I had left so I'm editing to complete the experience. A supervisor that wasn't working and happened to come in on her day off cashed me out b/c the people working had disappeared even though the entire establishment was empty and ...I was the only customer. She was the only one to apologize about being out of stock of almost everything that I ordered. And proceeded to rectify my bill. It was very nice of her and she didn't have to do that. Still not enough for me to return though :/

We had a wonderful dining experience at Blue Lacy last night. We started with drinks in their court yard. The wait staff turned on the fans for us and it was very comfortable. The cocktails were refreshing. We moved inside for dinner. We had a reservation for 8 people. The food was very good and the service was great! The menu is priced right. It was a perfect spot for our family reunion! We will definitely go again.

Yes it is dog friendly but the service outside was horrible, waited an hour and 30 min for food when it was not busy at all (maybe 3 tables inside). When the server finally came out to take our order, he mentioned there was no more waffles possibly... he went inside to check and didn't come out for another 30 minutes. Burgers came out cold, vanilla latte with coconut milk was very very bitter. Server came to check in us 3 maybe 4 times. Tables were dirty so I had to go in and ask for a rag and bartender kindly came out to clean and brought some whip cream for our pups! Didn't see our own server much this whole time. We let them know of our experience and was given vouchers for cocktails, 1 meal for next time and continued to charge us a 20% gratuity knowing we weren't happy with the experience. We only had 6 people but charged us the 8 people gratuity as 2 family members joined us but didn't order anything due to our experience!

Food was fine. Coffee was not good yet it was always fresh. The service wasn't great but the staff was sweet. It seemed as if it was everyone's first day. They were polite but forgot to bring my coffee and messed up our food order. We ate there twice for breakfast since we were staying at the hotel for 2 days. The restaurant is nice and very clean.

I've given Blue Lacy more than a couple tries hoping the service would improve, but unfortunately it was another bad experience. We were a table of 6, and it was not crowded. We waited 10 mins just for water. The server would disappear and we'd have to flag her down (she may have been the only waitress even though there were workers there that weren't busy but weren't paying attention). It was also the second time I had to take the credit card to the front because no one was coming by. The menu and food is hit or miss, with some very tasty dishes and others bland or overcooked. They forgot the appetizer we'd ordered and we had to ask or remind them about our drink orders multiple times. It's a great location that could be a nice alternative to other restaurants around, but management needs to reassess and make needed improvements.

Super slow. Only half the seats were occupied and it took over 15 minutes to order and another 45 mins for food to show up. We didn't het our sides till we were done eating our entrees. Kitchen had 10 dishes ready to serve but no one to serve them.

The drink was the only good thing about this place. I came by here for brunch on Sunday with my neighbor as I live right next door. I was sorely disappointed with the service and the food. The food took over an hour to come out and they forgot the extra egg I had requested on my hash. You would think after waiting an hour they would've got something as simple as an extra egg right. Nope, waited another 10 min for them to cook me an extra over easy egg. Was the food worth the wait? No. It was so salty. I regret not having at brunch halcyon or BD Riley's instead cause their foods was better and service way faster. Maybe it's because this place is new but you would figured the kitchen and staff would've been well trained enough to not take an hour on food. I understand that it's an Sunday but it was not that busy! There were empty tables. I'm probably never gonna stop by again even though I literally live next door.

I was super excited to sample this restaurant and just get a little dessert, but I was pretty disappointed with this. I want to first point out that the restaurant was absolutely beautiful. I hadn't been over to Mueller in a while, but the area is really growing and it looks great. It was cool to have this restaurant right below a hotel. The server her was great. Very cool dude and helped us out very quickly. My problem was with the pecan pie I ordered. It was the tiniest slice of pie I had ever seen served and for $10!!! Not only this, but it was probably the worst pie I ever had. Now again, I only came for a quick dessert to try it out and the pie was recommend, so I can't speak for the quality of the rest of the food items. It was a very poor experience for dessert, but environment, service and quality of place was all good.

The food was so much better than I expected. I got the meatloaf and was blown away! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable on the menu.

Got here at 1:40 PM on a Saturday and there wasn't much rush. Got seated right away. However service is super slow. It took over an hour from ordering my food to get it! The food itself was okay. A little too salty for my taste. I wouldn't come here again.
