"Stepping through the front doors of Sawyer & Co on East Cesar Chavez feels like entering a portal to a 1950s diner, complete with stubby yellow barstools and waitstaff walking around with steaming pots of coffee. The menu looks and tastes like what you’d find at a classic diner—with a little bit of Austin and New Orleans touches mixed in—which means you can expect to find dishes like a Cajun scramble with crawfish etouffee right next to a pork carnitas benedict with queso and biscuits. They won’t be the softest scramble or the fluffiest biscuits you’ve ever had, but they also won’t disappoint. Especially on a Sunday morning after a long night out. It gets busy on the weekends, so show up early or put your head on the waitlist ahead of time." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs

"What is a diner without buttermilk biscuits? The Govalle diner serves up biscuits and gravy, biscuit sandwiches, a la carte biscuits, and breakfast plates. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"At this Southern diner in Govalle, you can choose your own adventure with three different sizes for weekend brunch. There’s the Right Size; the Really Right Size; and the Alright, Alright, Alright Size; all of which are pretty self-explanatory." - Darcie Duttweiler
