Bad Customer Service – My family and I are always on the look out for restaurants to go, after Sunday morning service. I suggested Eastside Cafe, as we had visited this restaurant in the past, and found it to be a nice quaint place with wholesome food. This Sunday, I was greeted at the door as if I wanted something other than a nice place to eat. The greeter stated as my 13 yr old daughter and I entered with "how can we help ya'll", and she said this with such a disdain look on her face, as if I were an alien visting this pl... read more

Awful service and food! Would not recommend. – I would not recommend this place especially for "special" occassions. Took a friend there for a birthday dinner - the appetizer was good but the main course left us disappointed. The salmon was dry, the stuffed shrimp had little flavor, and the green beans were overcooked. I have heard the salads are wonderful but since they forgot to bring us ours we can't comment. The desserts were brought to us in a bag, when I asked that they please bring my guest his with a candle. When I s... read more

Best Valentines Day Dinner Ever! – Last night I took my girlfriend to the East Side Cafe and I couldn't have picked a better restaurant for this romantic holiday. We loved the atmosphere, the food was awesome and the staff was very friendly. Our waitress helped us pick a wine and was very helpful and attentive throughout our entire meal. I have to admit I played it on the safe side and ordered their sirloin meatloaf and my girlfriend ordered their pecan encrusted grilled chicken plate. My dish was excellent and the garlic ma... read more

A nice date place – I took my girlfriend here because I had heard a lot about it. The restaurant has a very nice eclectic feel to it which carried on throughout. I strongly recommend making reservations (even for lunch/dinner on a weekday), because otherwise you might be waiting a good 30 minutes like I did. The wait may have been slightly long, but the waiting areas outside have a romantic feel to it. The ambiance of the restaurant was great and the staff was courteous and prompt. The wine list was better than many restaura... read more

A little skewed – I went to this restaurant expecting to check out solid gardens and some great local, organic food. I have to admit I was a little disappointed. I'm well aware of the time (Early September) and the drought, but they have only an herb garden on-site! An herb garden with loads of basil and bay leaves at that. Their menu was a little on the bland side and they actually did not use much of the herbs in the food, mostly as garnish... I had specifically gone into this expecting something a little more than what I ... read more

Good food-service-atmosphere-price – Last review was 11/05 so I'd figure it's again time to say what a treat East Side is. Honestly, we have only been there once but will be back very soon. My wife and I really enjoyed breakfast, both plates were filling and tasty. Coffee was good and the serice was just fine as well. Looking forward to dinner there next time.

romantic and friendly. – I love Chad at Eastside cafe he has waited on me several times and I always leave with a smile on my face. I wish he would be my server all the time. Besides Chad the food is fresh and simple. At night the small charming house turns into a romantic and unique spot.

Best Spot for a Date – I LOVE Eastside Cafe. It's a great date spot with my husband. The food is never fussy and always delicious. Prices are very reasonable for this feel-good homestyle cooking. Specials are usually big winners, and the fantastic selection of fresh vegetables is far tastier than anything you've ever made yourself at home. Whatever you do, save room for the buttermilk pie for dessert. It is THE BEST! The dining area is in an old house complete with big windows and beautiful wood floors. (I prefer it to the g... read more

Eastside is one of the few restaurants that lets you taste all the ingredients in their dishes without overpowering them with others. I had the best lunch (anywhere from $7.95 to $19.95) that i have ever had. The server was helpful, but not bothersome. I highly recommend walking through the garden(where some veggies come from) before eating to set your mood at this austin must eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
