The Most Exciting Austin Restaurant Openings, May 2025 | Eater Austin

"An Australian all-day cafe that serves breakfast until 4 p.m., offering authentic touches like Vegemite flights and the Big Brekkie (poached eggs, multigrain toast, bacon, chicken sausage, smashed avocado, chorizo baked beans, and hash browns) alongside Texan-friendly items such as banana bread French toast. The location functions as an all-day spot with deli-style lunch offerings (Reuben, tuna salad, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on open-faced rye) and a dinner menu from 6 p.m. featuring gastro pub dishes like vodka sauce chicken Parmesan, fish and chips, and short rib ragu pappardelle; initial promotions include 50% off during the first month and a Wednesday wings-and-wine special ($6 wings and half-price wines)." - Courtney E.

5 Stars All Day!! Such a breath of fresh air! Citizens All Day is bright, fun, and full of good vibes — the kind of place that instantly lifts your mood. The food has a fresh, modern Australian twist, and every dish feels vibrant and intentional. Start with their Happy Hour (3–6 PM) — they’ll discount your first espresso martini to just $0.99! It’s smooth, strong, and dangerously easy to love. The Green Goddess Shakshuka is a must-try: poached eggs in a tomatillo-poblano and kale sauce with feta, cannellini beans, and za’atar pita chips — creamy, tangy, and full of flavor. The Korean Fried Wings are perfectly crisp with a sticky-sweet glaze that has just enough heat. And for dessert? The tiramisu and affogato are next-level — rich, bold, and beautifully presented. Service is exceptional — Vikk (Asst. Mgr), Torrin (Floor Mgr), and servers Ximena and Gerry were all amazing! They made the whole experience feel personal and joyful, which is rare these days. Everything here, the food, drinks, music, and energy, feels happy and thoughtful. Whether you’re brunching, relaxing with friends, or just popping in for that legendary espresso martini, Citizens All Day is an Austin gem I’ll keep coming back too! Update: November 8th our server Austin introduced us to mimosa flights! Outstanding! Must try. Did i mention the service is amazing? It's the reason we come back time after time!

A Taste of Australia in the Heart of Austin! I just had brunch at this new Australian-style spot in Austin, and wow — what a find! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was bright, relaxed, and welcoming, just what you want for a weekend brunch. The mimosas were perfectly balanced — not too sweet, with fresh orange juice that actually tasted freshly squeezed. They kept them coming without ever feeling rushed. For food, I tried the steak and eggs, and it was easily one of the best brunch plates I’ve had in Austin. The steak was cooked exactly to order, juicy and tender, paired with perfectly seasoned eggs and crispy potatoes on the side. You can tell they really care about quality ingredients. I also sampled the Cajun pasta, and it was incredible — creamy, a little spicy, and full of flavor without being too heavy. It’s the kind of dish that makes you want to come back the next day just to have it again. Overall, everything from the service to the plating to the vibe was on point. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the experience this well right out of the gate. Definitely my new go-to brunch spot in Austin.

This was an absolute 5/5 experience all around! From the second we walked in the door until we were leaving. Christopher was our waiter and he was beyond what we could have expected! He gave amazing recommendations and set the tone from the second he sat us down! Offering little twists so we could get the whole experience since it was our first time in citizens and in town! All of the food was excellent, light and excellent food pairing and the presentation was the icing on the cake! Overall a really pleasant experience and would recommend coming here 100 times and to ask for Christopher!!!! You will NOT be disappointed!

Stumbled on this place on Resy while looking to cash in my Amex Platinum credit. It’s a great little corner restaurant—good menu, good food, and the service is excellent. My old-fashioned and my wife's margarita were both solid. Skip the wings, but definitely get the delicious chicken bowl or the nice pasta.

First time at Citizen and I’ll definitely be coming back again very soon! Such amazing food and drink options. Tried the blue matcha with lavender and had to get another one to go because it was so good! Belle, our server, was so sweet and had great menu suggestions. She also gave up a sample of the vegemite biscuits, which were so interesting. She went above and beyond. Give this place a try!!!

Citizens – An Unforgettable 5-Star Culinary Gem From the moment I stepped into Citizens, I knew I was in for something special. The green goddess shakshuka was a revelation—vibrant, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Paired with their signature sourdough bread and a flawlessly crafted espresso martini, it was a brunch experience that transcended expectations. What truly set the visit apart was June & Julian the dining experience expert who made me feel like family from the very first hello. Welcoming me with open arms and infectious enthusiasm, June & Julian went above and beyond when I shared it was my first time—and my intention to sing Citizens’ praises far and wide. To my delight, a decadent sweet treat was brought out, and I salivated as each bite delivered pure exquisite bliss. The atmosphere at Citizens is eclectic and vibrant, with a sexy, inviting vibe that pulses with poppin’ music and great energy. The service? Absolutely unforgettable. Every detail was attended to with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine passion for hospitality. June’s & Julian’s section is where you want to be—trust me. Yes, parking presented a bit of a challenge, but it was far from a dealbreaker and certainly attainable. The variety on the menu offers something for every palate, making Citizens a destination worth returning to again and again. This was, without a doubt, one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Five stars without hesitation—go see for yourself and prepare to be dazzled.

If you have not yet visited this establishment, I highly recommend it. The steak and eggs are exceptional. The coffee is also great. My wife ordered the nitro blueberry lavender matcha, which I sampled as well. It tasted remarkably similar to Fruity Pebbles cereal. I will definitely be returning!

I love brunch! The staff was so kind ❤️ When I couldn’t decide between the French toast and the pancakes, they recommended the French toast. And it was the perfect choice! The banana French toast was absolutely delicious 🥹 The interior is beautifully decorated with plants and lighting details. The friendly staff really brighten up your day! Perfect for a weekend brunch! I was also happy to see they had soy lattes. I’ll definitely be coming back!🚙💨

This is on a personal scale where 10 is the best dish you could possibly have for that specific category of food Green Goddess Shashuka: 5.6/10 Cheddar Biscuit Brekkie Sandwich: 7.3/10 Hashbrowns: 5.3/10 Nitro Latte: 6.1/10 Nitro blue matcha and lavender latte: 6.5/10 Overall not a bad meal, but nothing special. I didn't try any of the sweet breakfast options so perhaps those are better.

Atmosphere and service here were amazing! The decor is top notch and soo cute! Our waiter, June, was amazing! They were so helpful and friendly and made our experience even better. I ordered a yummy latte and the salmon Benedict and my son got the pancakes. The biscuit was a little cold and my dish was a 4/5 but my son's pancakes were soo fluffy and delish! I also got the banana bread French toast and def recommend them!

Overpriced dinner. I felt that I was paying for ambiance. Maybe I picked the wrong thing. Had the harissa salad but replaced chicken with shrimp. The shrimps were the shitty little frozen that had just been steamed with no flavor, not the usual kind you'd expect on a saladx The flavor profile was not my fave - too spicy. It looked pretty but I basically powered thru eating it since I didn't want it to go to waste but didn't want to finish it. The juice was fine. Not sure why it need to be called fuzzy. I would not come back and would definitely never wait in a long line for this place. Maybe ppl like it for boozy Instagram brunch and sweet pancakes? No one else there seemed to be enjoying their time. It seemed like couples and families in the neighborhood who didn't care it was overpriced who were there, or ppl like me who it was there first time. The waitstaff was not engaged but not bad. The kitchen messed up my order the first time. Weird vibes. Maybe just not for me ? I don't get what people see in this place.

Make a reservation if you want to come here. You can do so on the Resy app or website. It is a small restaurant with a bar counter. There are a few larger tables for larger parties but not many. I came here on a Sunday and it was crowded. Glad that I made reservations. It took maybe 15 minutes to get seated. The restaurant was loud due to the number of people inside the restaurant plus the loud music going on that the restaurant was playing. The waitress was nice and funny, making jokes about how loud it was and if we needed her to just wave since she might not hear us. I got the chicken and waffle. Sadly, the waffle was burned and overcooked. The chicken, on the other hand, was moist and flavorful. I also got a nitro salted caramel latte which was nice and smooth. Overall, the restaurant was not bad. If it weren't too loud and the waffle was not burned, it would have been a better experience.

Immediately we were enamored with the interior design of the restaurant, with quirky space wall paper and thoughtfully planned furniture. The servers were friendly enough. The blueberry pancakes were so fluffy and easily devoured. What I ordered originally wasn't available so I went with a breakfast sandwich that came with arugula salad. It was all delicious.

I tried the Houston location first and really loved it. Was excited to check out the Austin one but it just wasn't the same. There were also so many flies touching the pastries and the restaurant just made me feel icky. Shakshouka is good but I just wanted to get out of there.

Super nice brunch! The baked eggs I got were sooo flavorful and having the well-made focaccia with it was the cherry on top. They also gave us a banana bread French toast on the house which was super sweet! The only note I would mention is that it got pretty loud, so I'd come with friends but not to study. Parking was great.

Pretty dang good!! Fabulous service. The wait staff was amazing. So friendly, outgoing, but also quick and very aware of anything you need. Happy hour prices were also a good deal. Big serving sizes for very reasonable prices. Drinks around $5-$10 and appetizers $9-$15. However, the portions are large!!!!! Korean chicken wings were $9 and was 3 large pieces of chicken, I was impressed. Atmosphere was very cool as well. Lots of seating space, lots of available parking outdoors, and just good vibes all around!

There is a parking lot and a lot next door that you can also park. We had a reservation for brunch but didn't get seated until about 15-20 minutes past our reservation time. This place was busy!! Every table was taken. Cocktails: The Troublemaker was so refreshing! The Blueberry Jam Sour was also very good. Main dish: I had the BBQ Pulled Pork Benny with the hashbrowns and thought it was very yummy! It's a popular dish according to their menu.

After shopping at Central market with a buddy, I treated him to breakfast at the new Citizens All Day on Burnet. It's pretty new and attractively decorated inside. Originally from Australia, this is the first one in Austin. Not sure how many there are in the United States. Service was prompt, although the coffee took an awful a long time. I ordered the Pastrami Benny which is smoked pastrami, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, on cheddar biscuits.. The smoked pastrami was very difficult to cut and chew. Not a great combination for me. The coffee was excellent, however a refill took forever. Give it a try and see what you think.

What a cute brunch spot! They sat us right away on a Sunday without a reservation around 9:30. The service was great!! The fluffy juice is a must(think orange julius). We got the blueberry pancakes to share which were very thick but delicious! I got the chorizo and egg bake with beans, it was just okay. But the French toast and Benedict I tried of my friends was fabulous. Overall great addition to the Austin breakfast scene.

Grabbed lunch while in Austin at Citizens. I ordered a whipped cocktail because I had to find out what it was! I got a Paloma and it was very good. The texture kind of felt like a smoothie, but it tasted like a Paloma! I also got the Reuben, and it was delish! I would definitely go back and order the same thing!

This aesthetic cafe is great for people who appreciate good service and cute vibes. As for the food, they offer a wide selection, so you can find something for everyone. That said, it's not a must-visit spot for me. We came for Sunday brunch around 11am. My friend made the reservation but could only book a table for two. Surprisingly, when we arrived, they seated us at a table for four. Unfortunately, we got a table near the entrance, which meant flies were constantly hovering over our food and drinks. Since it's an Australian cafe and I had read a review that said the Flat White was the only standout item, I knew I had to try it. I ordered the flat white with whole milk, but it was underwhelming. The coffee lacked strong flavor, and the milk wasn't particularly creamy. To be fair, I usually prefer a cappuccino so a flat white's ratio might just not be to my taste. When it was brought to our table, the server spilled some on the saucer and didn't acknowledge it-which felt a bit careless. The Cheddar Biscuit Brekkie Sandwich was one of the better dishes we tried. The biscuit was different from others I've had-it was thin and fluffy, which paired nicely with the egg and bacon. The hash brown tasted as delicious as it looked. The Blueberry & Maple pancakes were soft and beautifully presented, but a bit on the dry side. They held their shape well though. Our server was super fun and playful, and you can tell he was enjoying his shift. He was easy to chat with and helped make the experience more enjoyable. There's also a small lot by the restaurant with free parking, which is nice. Overall, the food didn't blow me away, but the cafe has a versatile menu and a charming atmosphere. With so many options, the menu can feel a bit overwhelming and I'm not quite sure what their standout item is. That said, the drink menu looks intriguing so I would consider coming back to try those items.

Came to Citizens All Day for lunch. It is definitely well themed as a modern Australian café. Seems like a lot of thought went into the branding, menu design, and interior. The host even had an Aussie accent! I had the Hot Honey Turkey Sandwich, which was solid flavor-wise but the bread was a bit stale. Chicken & Waffles was delicious but the portion size was on the small side for the price. We both got water and had to ask a couple times for refills. No ice, maybe that is an Australian thing? The Matcha Latte was fine, and they had something called Blue Matcha on the menu. I asked what it was and our server wasn't too sure. He said it might be made with butterfly pea flower but didn't seem confident. No extra napkins offered besides the one that came on the table with out silverware. The little details like that add up. Honestly, if they put as much attention into the food and service as they did the menu design and decor, this place would be an easy 5-stars.

This is a very aesthetically pleasing restaurant, with great booth seating, beautiful tiling and furnishings, and an eye-catching mural outside. While the restaurant markets itself online as Australian, the menu felt more like an American fusion with Asian and Mediterranean influences. I ordered the calamari which was excellent and worth the $14. I also had the miso chicken bowl, which was flavorful, satisfying, and still felt light and healthy.

Their menu is a hot mess and misnomered. I ordered the pulled pork gluten free sandwich but they've since removed it from their menu and haven't updated the menus hanging at the cashier. I ordered a gluten free smoked turkey sandwich to go, and the bartender gave me a hot honey turkey sandwich instead. I tried calling and no one picked up. I think the smoked turkey sandwich has since been renamed to turkey pesto sandwich but they haven't updated their menus. There definitely wasn't any pesto in my sandwich, just a spicy red spread. Plus there was provolone in my sandwich, and the turkey pesto didn't list any cheese in its ingredients. I don't know why the pictures have a side of potato chips with their sandwich. My sandwich didn't come with any potato chips. No one offered me a glass of water while I waited fifteen minutes with a baby. I'm not sure why I tipped 15% for lousy service.

A cute aesthetic cafe that took over the former location of Foxtrot. I came by myself on my day off and was immediately seated in a little corner near the front window of the cafe for breakfast. When you step in, it gives you a diner feel with lots of foliage and character. Also, in the right-hand corner of the restaurant, there's a billboard showing where all the food is sourced from locally. The service staff was super friendly but also seemed like they were all just getting into the grove of things, as they all interchanged roles from host/hostess to server throughout the course of service. I ordered the smoked salmon benedict per recommendation of the server and a vanilla oatmilk latte. The menu is marketed as australian, however, a lot of the items seem to be moreso American breakfast staple items. I can't attest to the lunch and dinner items. My food came out promptly and was simple but delicious, my only complaint is how tall the biscuits are that the poached eggs and smoked salmon sit on. It makes it really difficult to eat the benedict and probably fairly unattractive if your on a date with someone else stuffing that amount of food into your mouth in one bite. I would come back here again to try more items from the menu and also to try out the lunch and dinner items in the future.

This is a cool new Australian place that just opened on burnet road! The interior is well done and the vibes are good (although they need to turn the overhead lights down sooner, I felt like I was in Kerbey Lane with how bright it was in there). We came for dinner and the food was good, but this is probably more of a breakfast place. The drinks were fantastic! Love the whipped/fluffy drinks! I would come back just for apps and drinks. The Golden Hour was the fan favorite at our table, but the fluffy pineapple was really good too. The service was a bit odd (which is sometimes an Australian bit??) but we overall liked our server and he was funny, he just missed a few things and didn't know the menu super well. It seems the servers and managers have some misunderstandings about gluten free options that need to be ironed out. I was told the rigatoni could be made gluten free, then was told the manager said it might not be gf, so I just ordered a salad bowl to be safe. It would be great (and on brand for Australia) if they had good gf substitutions, but with the current lack of understanding I wouldn't feel comfortable eating here anytime soon if I was full celiac.

Super cute Aussie-inspired café! The exterior is absolutely adorable -- total Instagram spot. The inside was smaller than I expected, but still super charming with cozy decor. The miso chicken salad was decent -- nice and light if that's what you're in the mood for. The matcha latte didn't really taste like matcha -- kind of that typical light matcha flavor you often find in the U.S. I would've preferred something a bit bolder. I went around noon on a weekday and waited about 5 minutes to be seated, which wasn't bad. But it took over 30 minutes for the food to come out after ordering. So yeah... not ideal if you're short on time. ‍ Service was just average -- nothing to complain about, but nothing memorable either. Lots of parking, which is always a plus!

Visited this new Australian cafe on a busy Sunday morning, and was glad to have a reservation. My immediate takeaway was this restaurant is cute but SMALL. My friend and I had a difficult time fitting our dishes and drinks at our two person table and getting out when it was time to leave, but I understand that they are trying to maximize the amount of tables in the small space. We were quickly led to our table and greeted by our server, who consistently came to check on us. My friend ordered a large drip coffee, which came with a good sized carafe, and I had to try a fluffy juice, which they infuse with nitrogen for a unique nitro coffee consistency. The strawberry pineapple glow fluffy juice was awesome, and a must try for any fellow ginger lovers. For food, I ordered the sausage & egg cheddar biscuit sandwich and split the banana & butterscotch waffles with my friend. My friend ordered the cast iron chorizo baked eggs and really liked it. The toasted focaccia was especially good, although I don't know if they make it in-house. I was disappointed in the sausage biscuit sandwich. They were able to sub eggs over easy for the scrambled eggs, which came out more like eggs over hard with no runny center. The biscuit did not come with any tomato jam as listed, and also had ingredients not listed on the menu description-- a lot of jalapeños and spinach, which made the whole biscuit taste like jalapeños even after I noticed and removed them. The cheddar-chive biscuit was good but wholly overpowered by the jalapeños. Citizen's hash browns are like McDonald's hash browns plus seasoning, and were very crispy and on the saltier side. The banana pancake does not have banana puree but is like a normal pancake with some pieces of banana in it. We liked the flavor of the banana & butterscotch pancakes and really enjoyed the carmelized banana, butterscotch sauce, and mascarpone, but thought the pancakes themselves were a little dry. Overall, I like the menu variety and aesthetics of Citizens, but think that the food itself could be better. We were also constantly batting away flies during our meal and afterwards even though we sat inside, so hoping they work on that problem. It was very easy to find parking in the lot around the cafe, which was nice. I think this place has the potential to be great, but they are not there yet.

The menu was extensive but the service was super slow. I highly recommend getting a reservation if you're coming here for brunch. It totally slipped our minds but luckily my friend who arrived 5 min before I did was able to snag two seats at the bar. Regardless the service was very slow. I almost thought they had forgotten my drink order cause it was about 20 min before it came out. The food took about 30 min. I got the banana bread French toast and the Troublemaker for the drink. Both were very good but I don't think it's waiting 20-30 minutes good. There are definitely many restaurants in Austin with just as good food but way faster service. I would recommend coming here when it's not busy or when you're not really hungry. It also took them 20 minutes to get our checks. If we didn't ask, they probably completely forgotten about us.

I had brunch with some friends here on July 4 after a neighborhood parade. They seemed extra festive that day. We had a bit of a wait when we walked in, but they offered us free prosecco while we waited and there was a place to order coffees and pastries at the counter. We were seated near the front door so it was a bit busy but the service was pretty quick and responsive. The whipped juice cocktail was really delicious and fresh! I had the pulled pork benedict with salad which I really enjoyed. I look forward to going back again to try more items!

You are reminded about 300 times that Citizen's All Day serves Australian breakfast. Their menu in mint green and white proclaims "Dare to Dream of a Better Brekkie" This is cutesy to the point of being saccharine. More so, this is the kind of fake Australian that you get with Crocodile Dundee movies. No breakfast restaurant in Sydney or Melbourne would actually present themselves this way. If Citizens All Day was serving Texas breakfast, they would have waiters in cowboy hats and put horsies on the menu. * * * How are the breakfasts? Meh. To be fair, they serve an outstanding flat white. Flat whites are much abused in Texas with a lot of local places serving a mediocre product. Obviously, Australia gets flat whites right. London gets flat whites right. This place gets flat whites right. Things drop off after that. The drip coffee was poor. Their pancakes are thick and fluffy - which is a legitimate good point. Their flavors run towards the super-sweet. The peanut butter and chocolate version that I had was cloying and filling without being any kind of a treat. I finished mine more out of a sense of duty than pleasure. My wife had an avocado and egg plate that she picked at. In Australia, we have had sweet pancake plates and avocado-egg plates that were to die for. I don't think Citizens could stand up to the competition if they were located in Sydney. * * * Now to be fair, Australia is far away and Citizens is here. Should you go to Citizen's to get an approximation of an Australian breakfast? Frankly, most of the big breakfast chains in Austin will serve you something more or less comparable to an Australian breakfast. Snooze and Another Broken Egg Cafe are not that far off the Australian model. You do have to be willing to take a pass on the flat whites. If you want to do better than Snooze or Another Broken Egg Cafe, Cafe 1431 in Cedar Park will give you an outstanding breakfast that can beat many Australian places as well. Getting to Cedar Park is a lot less expensive than getting to Sydney And you don't have to put up with jet lag afterwards.

I have a trip planned to Australia in a few months, so I was excited to try this new place in my neighborhood. To be expected, there was an hour wait for brunch on a Sunday, can't fault them for that. They do have a counter to order coffee or a pastry while you wait, so my friend and I got a salted caramel nitro and a blue matcha & lavender nitro and sat out back. I guess if the weather were nicer they could have also sat people out there, there's some tables and chairs and benches. Otherwise inside seating only. After about 45 minutes we checked the bar/counter seats and there were 2 open so we snagged them! Service from start to finish was attentive and friendly. Of course I had to try the vegemite sampler, only $8. We couldn't really taste anything, but maybe they were afraid to put a lot on there and people wouldn't like it. I have tried it before and a little does sure go a long way. We also ordered a fluffy juice and a fluffy cocktail, so good! I was afraid fluffy was going to mean pulpy, but it's not. We loved the blueberry maple pancakes and the chorizo breakfast burrito, perfect for sharing and not too oversized. We would definitely return, the menu is vast and offers something for everyone.

Went to Citizens last week and was pleasantly surprised. Food is healthy and has a different flare, having an Australian influence. I ordered the avocado toast and had the blue matcha & lavender latte and the green goddess smoothie. Everything tasted really good and will come back.

I spontaneously checked out this spot for breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised! Even though we didn't have a reservation and it was pretty packed, we were able to get seated right away and service was great. Everyone was always really attentive! The booths and decor were cute and I appreciated how unique the menu was too. I really enjoyed the nitro salted caramel latte (but wish it was bigger for the price!) My partner's matcha pineapple drink was also awesome. The food itself was pretty good but again portions didn't feel too big. So 2 plates and maybe a side to share would probably make sense if you are coming in hungry. I'll be back!

Come all ye citizens for brunch every day until 4pm. It's a little hub of commerce with a mini-market including fresh pastries and cold-brew on-tap/to go. First explory checks out - all the classics plus indulgent details (think Banana Bread French Toast and Banana & Butterscotch Pancakes) nestled into Rosedale. I went for classic Blueberry (pancakes, of course), found them just fluffy enough, balanced with a side of slab bacon. Nitro Nutella Hazelnut Latte is OUT of this WORLD. They could shut down to focus on coffee & to-go and keep it going through another pandemic. Lucky find, will come again!

So i read somewhere that a cafe was going to take over the former Foxtrot location off Burnet and it was an australian inspired all day cafe. I wasn't sure what all day meant - all day breakfast? Well not quite. It's an all day restaurant and so the menu changes from breakfast (brekkie) to lunch/dinner. I think most of the reviews so far are on the breakfast menu so i wasn't sure what to expect for dinner. I came right after happy hour after 6 so i wasn't expecting them to be busy since they just announced they were opening and luckily this place is smart and hasn't invited every food influencer here so i'm hoping this place will be build up popularity organically. They seem to be positioned well for an all day neighborhood restaurant as i was scanning they have specials during the week from a Wednesday wings and wine, Thursday chicken parm, and Fridays for steak frites. The restaurant definitely has a 1970s vibes so you might feel like you are in Austin back in the time of Dazed and Confused. I liked the aesthetic allot. The staff is new and training but they did a pretty good job. Was welcomed when i came in and had the option to sit at the bar or a table. As for drink, they have cocktails as well as special fluffy / whipped cocktails. I got the fluffy pineapple margarita and loved the frothy texture of the cocktail. It was a very tasty drink. For food, I got the steak frites and for $29 i thought it was good value compared to other restaurants in town where this dish is over $30. Its also only $19 on Fridays. The steak frites came with chimchurri sauce too and aioli to dip your fries in. The steak was a meaty cut and i felt satisfied after finishing my meal. Will definitely come here again and try their breakfast; its in the area so i am excited to add this place to my rotation. Also they did a good job transforming this place from an upscale connivence store to an all day cafe.

I was really excited for this Australian cafe to open in austin, as someone who loves australian coffee. We admired the aesthetic and our server was sweet. After waiting 30 min for our food and coffee, we both agreed it was kinda disappointing meal. The hashbrowns and eggs were way too oily and salty. The steak was over cooked and low quality meat. Coffee was okay. Hope they figure it out.

Loved this Aussie-inspired restaurant! We visited during happy hour and scored 99¢ espresso martinis, you just can't beat that deal anywhere else. The wings and calamari were absolutely delicious, and the service was fantastic, super friendly and attentive. The ambiance is lively and cool, very welcoming vibe that makes it perfect for hanging out with friends. Highly recommend!

Plenty of sweet & savory options, a plethora of bevs and has a chill vibe. I had their pastrami Eggs benny which reminded me of warm biltong and the hollandaise sauce was the best I've ever had. They're still fairly new and working out some kinks, but overall it's a ''must try".

Thought we'd try the new place in the neighborhood. The place is cute, but it is really tight seating and was clammy hot like if they had air conditioning issues. Sat at the bar and it seemed like nobody wanted to attend to us. Took them a bit to clear the old plates in front of us. Ordered 2 breakfast plates which were small and expensive. $17.50 for an egg sandwich didn't add up! They also have grab and go tacos that were literally the size of cigar. Seemed like a rolled up tortilla.Don't see myself ever coming back

Citizen is great. Leaving a second review because we finally got to try the coffee out and love it. Definitely will be returning for the coffee and pastries to go- the Nitro latte is FANTASTIC The only recommendation/suggestion I have is to ask what is on/in what you're getting. There is a lot of American classic type dishes they have but they are all spun with new stuff. If you want to try something new it's a great spot but if you want a classic sausage egg and cheese biscuit(pictured below) it might not be what you were imagining. Still delicious tho and very cute!

All the food here was delicious! I came with a group for a birthday celebration, and I thoroughly enjoyed the sides we shared (fries), but the muesli was the highlight. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a healthy breakfast so much, although the Australian style coffee (basically an affogato) probably cancelled that out.

Sydney was an absolute doll during my visit to Citizens All Day! Her spirit was bright and so kind. She helped us choose amazing food and drinks and even gave us a sweet treat! On top of the amazing out-of-this-world service, the food was incredible! The harissa chicken bowl was mind-boggling and the banana bread was perfect! We didn't love the cast iron egg thing just because it's not our vibe and kinda has a chili vibe but everything else perfect! Ambience, service, vibes. Would love to come back again and be served by sweet Sydney!

We loved having brunch here! June & the other staff were so friendly. Lots of cool options on the menu for drinks & food. I had one of the fluffy drinks & the nitro blue matcha & lavender latte. The cheddar chive biscuit was fantastic & the banana french toast was delicious. I love how they support local nonprofits! We will definitely be back to try more unique entrees.

We had the best breakfast experience at Citizens All Day this morning! Our party of three adults and three little ones in highchairs definitely brought some energy to the table--but the staff handled everything with such kindness, patience, and genuine warmth that it made the whole experience feel effortless and welcoming. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and immediately helped with highchairs and getting everyone settled. The service was attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly accommodating. The food was just as amazing as the service--delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. But truly, it was the incredible staff who made this such a standout experience. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back. Thank you, Citizens team, for going above and beyond

Meh. Not worth the stop. Went in on a slow morning - only a few tables and it took a while to get coffee. Are they doing pour overs for the house drip coffee? If so, I can understand it taking that long but should make sure and call that out at a breakfast joint. Our coffee got cold as we waited for our breakfast and asked for it to be topped off. Didn't realize they actually charge each time you want a new cup of coffee. Again, needs to be called out on menu to avoid confusion for other guests. Food took way too long to come out and my eggs benedict was lukewarm/coldish. For 3 people, we spent $70 for a mediocre breakfast. Cute spot with great music and easy parking but likely won't go back.

11/10 It is hard to open a unique concept, brunch spot in a new territory, but if anyone can do it, it's Citizens! I loved this restaurant in NYC, and Austin's location is even better all around! The food options, the flavors, the service (even when it is busy), everything was a delight. Special shout out to Youssef for our first time at the Austin location the wonderful experience

It was busy but the service did not reflect that. It was top notch all the way! Our sever, Christopher, was spot on with suggestions, refills, and total attentiveness. The whole staff worked as a team to make sure everyone in the restaurant was taken care of.

Glad I've tried it but to be honest it was way too crowded and the food was nothing to jump up and down over. I had banana pancakes which were yummy and very dense. I ate one of three and took the rest home. I got one of the smoothies and it was not worth the money at all. Very liquid. Nothing to it
