Kerbey Lane Cafe - Mueller

"Mueller’s Kerbey Lane Cafe might not have all of the charm of its original location in a refurbished house on Kerbey Lane, but it does have most of the menu. Come for the pancakes, and stay for the signature Kerbey Queso—it’s arguably among the best in town. And if you manage to grab a coveted Sunday morning table, you can walk off some of those fluffy syrup-covered carbs at the farmers market right across the street. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"Austin’s favorite diner chain Kerbey Lane Cafe opens its next restaurant up in Mueller at 2200 Aldrich Street as of today, Friday, December 7. The latest Kerbey Lane, the eighth one, is known for its diner menu, full of pancakes, breakfast dishes, sandwiches, queso, late-night dining, and more. The cafe chain shook things up in the kitchen earlier this spring by hiring executive chef Joe Anguiano, who had formerly been with shuttered South Lamar restaurant Vox Table. The space was designed by Richard Weiss (Weiss Architecture), who had worked on previous Kerbey Lanes, as well as interior design by Kris Swift (Future Design Now). The restaurant includes a bar, pet-friendly outdoor lounge, and chef’s table. The Mueller address was selected because residents staged what they referred to as an 'eat-in' at the original Kerbey Lane location in 2013, because they wanted a Kerbey Lane in their neighborhood. Kerbey Lane Cafe opened in 1980 by founders Patricia Atkinson and David Ayer. Their son, Mason Mayer, is currently the chief executive officer. Alas, the Mueller hours aren’t 24/7 like most of the other locations. It’s open from 6:30 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Friday, and from 6:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Longtime Austin diner chain Kerbey Lane Cafe has a new executive chef with Joe Anguiano, who was the founding chef of now-shuttered Lamar Union restaurant Vox Table. He will oversee the current seven locations of Kerbey’s kitchens, as well as develop its seasonal menus. Anguiano will debut his new Kerbey menu on Thursday, May 24. The summer spread includes dishes like salmon burgers, smoked salmon Benedict with potato latkes, fried green tomato BLT slider, gazpacho salad, and chicken and pancakes served with a maple-jalapeno sauce. The mostly all-hours diner chain is also partnering with local sweets spot Amy’s Ice Cream for its desserts menu. This includes a take on queso dubbed “ice cream queso,” which means Mexican vanilla ice cream, Zilker Mint (it’s supposed to serve as the “guacamole,” pico de gallo made of kiwi, whipped cream, and shortbread “chips.” This specific dish will be available at the restaurants starting on Monday, May 14. Elsewhere, there are snickerdoodle ice cream sandwiches and fudge brownie sundaes. Kerbey is also opening its eighth restaurant up in Mueller, and the long-awaited West Braker Lane one is still in the works." - Nadia Chaudhury
