We had high hopes for this place as a new neighborhood diner for us. The exterior and general layout are well designed. We had so many issues with the food and its worth noting we are the type that will not bring up ordering problems unless its significant. To start, my sons sausage patties were raw inside - I tried them and it was straight uncooked in the middle. His pancakes where very eggy like a thin crepe consistency but had a burnt griddle taste on the edges. The kids asked to add chocolate chips to their pancakes. That s my surprise, that was one more easy add-on The restaurant did not have available. My wife ordered a side of sausage links and they brought out burned turkey sausages instead. Once the waiter brought out the right breakfast side, it ended up the meat was rancid once she tasted it. I had the breakfast tacos - the brisket tasted freeze dried add the tortillas were stale. The eggs and hashbrowns were fine, it was just anything else beyond fried egg seemed to be out of their grasp. if I was to pinpoint what feels like the root issue, it seems like they re understaffed and overall it s confusing a nice looking restaurant in Mueller is completely dead on a Saturday morning at 9 AM. Something is just off and it feels like they have minimal cooking staff that seem lost by what they are sending out on plates. they must also have some issue with the kitchen generally because two previous times we came in the past months they told us they could only service coffee and pastries because their chef never showed up. This is amateur league stuff. Some limited partner / investor is losing a lot of money due to a poorly managed business

Very cute place. Pretty limited menu. Service was not great and when we asked for recommendations, server did not seem to be a big fan of the food served. We decided to just get appetizer of loaded fries which were good. Lemonade tasted like powder.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I was there every morning for breakfast for 3 days while in town. Also a good out of the way place to grab a drink when the other local establishments are packed. Next time Im in town Im definitely going to stay at the same hotel and make sure I go back to Blue Lacy.

The server was sweet, we ordered pancakes with butter and maple syrup, and avocado toasts. It was a good quantity and tasted good. I personally did not like the coffee, although she did serve it with milk on the side. It was a pretty cafe with a lot of cafes in the same area. It was located inside the origin hotel. The breakfast closes at 11am, which is better than other hotels who serve only until 9.30 or 10am. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options include avocado toast and pancakes, they were good!

I love the origin hotel but this restaurant did not leave a good impression. The man who was in the front who seated us was very rude and so unprofessional. We had ordered drinks and he took forever to bring it to us. We didn t even have a chance to eat, we told them to just cancel the order. Really wanted to try this place too since we are staying at the Origin.

It s nice the Blue Lacey is in the origin hotel, but it s highly overpriced for the quantity and quality. $50 for breakfast and I m not satisfied. Small orange juice, expensive side. Also, they serve vital farm eggs, which is great, but their ketchup has high fructose corn syrup (inconsistently healthy). Do yourself a favor and go to Dish Society.

Went to one of their drag brunch events and I was surprised by their amazing food! My sister and I couldnt decide between their burger or their chicken and waffles, so we got both. The aoli they use is delicious, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned. If you want a nice brunch spot to take a couple of friends, this is the place :) Parking: Id recommend heading straight to the parking garage. You might get lucky and find street parking, but the garage is pretty close to the restaurant.

I ordered the wild salmon. To say it was disappointing would be an understatement. The salmon was WAY overcooked and bland. It says on the site that this would be honey glazed salmon and it tastes like the salmon was slapped on a pan with zero seasoning whatsoever and cooked until it was dry. The sautéed vegetables were virtually the same. Bland, zero seasoning, not even salt or butter, zero flavor. The cous cous was not bad but this meal was one of the biggest wastes of money I have spent in a long time, on top of all of this there was no asparagus with it as in the description. I asked for the meal with an added side of vegetables and instead got salmon, couscous, and vegetables. Meaning the arugula, and asparagus, were not included. $37 for cardboard and missing food. Absolutely insane. I am visiting TX, staying in the origin hotel so I was hoping for something tasty and simple, but if I lived here I would advise people to avoid this restaurant.

The mashed potatoes tasted like cardboard and the gravy was not much better. I had the Rueben. I have had better. All in all, the food was very disappointing, to say the least.

So this review is long overdue, traveled to here from Houston because I have a blue lacy dog. I thought this was a dog friendly place with a dog friendly menu, sadly it was not and I m assuming they have new management because the staff was brand new and didn t know the menu. They were super friendly can t say anything negative about that. Food was good and they didn t have a bartender when we went so one person was making drinks for the whole place. The servers awesome the place not so much and after reading multiple reviews, seems like it s been going down hill from where it used to be. Parking: Located on the interior of building opening so sometimes it s hard to find if you aren t from around.

I was so excited when this first opened that we had a lovely little spot in the neighborhood something different more like a diner, feel but now after months and months and several tries of eating breakfast or lunch or dinner here I have to say the place is really awful, except for its interior decoration which I love I ll start with coffee they do not understand how to make a latte and whatever they think it is it is not a latte there is no foam there is no flavor and the coffee beans they use are ick. As for the brunch I ordered eggs over easy with some hollandaise sauce, and that was awful. In other words these are line chefs that should work at fast food places who have no idea how to cook a meal. Maybe blue Lacy has no budget to hire chefs but whatever they have there it s really below par. Service is minimal and we had to wait forever. They served burnt toast to my guest. Ugh!

This place is deeply weird and obviously lacking management - which makes sense considering the host, who was also running food/drinks, told us they don t have a manager. This Sunday at noon, three parties, including us, all waited at the host stand for 10+ minutes without being acknowledged in any way. And we had a reservation! Additionally - We heard the cook tell the host/runner that food had been sitting out waiting to be served for a long time. Gulp. - There was no music playing, contributing to the weirdness. Of the three parties who were waiting to be seated, two of us left. Not sure what happened to the third one. They re probably still waiting on their food. It s really a shame since the decor + location have so much potential.

I don t typically leave reviews but felt the need this time. My boyfriend and I had been here a couple times in the past and always LOVED it. Everyone was always so friendly, the atmosphere is great, drinks are great, and we love the food. We don t live in the Mueller area but try to stop by when we re in the neighborhood. I don t know why but they completely changed the food menu. They got rid of the avocado bruschetta I loved and apparently they stop serving breakfast after 11, which is strange for a diner. One of the cooks was yelling at the servers most of the time we were there. There was only us and two other tables so I didn t understand all the commotion. It s honestly really sad because it has so much potential and we d love to see it do well but the vibe was super off. The server said they were in the process of changing the menu and this was a limited time thing. We decided to eat somewhere else but hopefully they get everything sorted out with the food menu soon. I guess we ll have to check back in a couple months.

Two stars for the potential of the real estate. We got up and left after discovering that most of the menu was unavailable on our waiter s third trip to the reclined patio seats where were apparently supposed to eat. The table near us also got up and left. We were the only two tables seated. There s a great Veracruz all natural around the corner that also allows for dogs on the patio, and it s terrific. Go there instead.

My SIL were regulars at the Blue Lacey but life caught up. We wanted to go back to our favorite diner. Unfortunately once we sat down something was off. The signature ranch that was provided before was no longer available... it was now store ranch with no zest or flavor..The chicken waffles used to be great along with the menu! NOW. The meatloaf lacks flavor same with the day special. The over priced menu now dosent support the dish... It was really disappointing The old Blue Lacey that provided the welcome home meals and food (JOHN THE CHEF!) And atmosphere turned into a generic in and out diner. R.I.P the old Blue Lacey I know there are growing pains but it was a real great place we would come to on the rainy nights and leave feeling that comfort..

I cant review the food as no one ever offered me a menu or asked what I wanted... I came in alone on a Saturday mid-morning, with only 3 customers there and at least as many staff, and asked if I could sit at the bar. I asked for a cappuccino, which the barista gave me without any comment. I figured she would bring me a menu or ask if I wanted anything else. Meanwhile the chef berated a server loudly, the barista sneezed over the bar and complained to another employee another not wanting to wear a bandaid on her cut finger, and then she put the bill in front of me. I waited for at least 20 minutes to get someones attention, but by the time I realized no one was going to ask if I wanted anything, I was so aggravated by the whole environment that I decided to get breakfast elsewhere.

I ate a late lunch here the other day with my best friend before we went to a movie. I wanted the Curry Chicken Salad Croissant, but they were out of the curry chicken. That was a bit disappointing. So, I had the Meatloaf Patty Melt instead. It was good, but I really prefer chicken. My bestie got the Monte Cristo Classic. He thought it would be fried, but upon my researching a day after the fact, online I see that the classic is cooked in a pan. I imagine a lot of people think they are getting a fried sandwich though - maybe it would be good to specify that it is pan cooked on the menu or have the waitstaff let people know, to avoid any confusion. So, he was disappointed that it wasnt a fried sandwich. I tried a bite of his and it was okay. It just tasted like any average sandwich though. The chips they serve with the sandwiches are really delicious. I think they are made in house, but I am not positive on that. They had a nice flavor and were good and crispy. Our waiter was really nice and our food came out without too long of a wait, which was good, as we had a movie to get to. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. It had a hip, modern feel and with all the huge windows it was nice and bright. I would go back again sometime - I think breakfast would be nice to try.

I don t post bad review often, but this place was abysmal. We arrived to a fairly empty lunch service, maybe 2 other tables in the restaurant, and it took over an hour to get a breakfast sandwich, a burger, and chicken & waffles. We got 2 drinks, a mimosa which was fine and a Negroni which didn t resemble a Negroni at all. By the time our food arrived, the burger was cold and the $17 chicken and waffles had maybe 2 oz if fried chicken on it. Definitely won t be coming back here as we paid $75 for 3 sub par meals that came out wildly slowly for how busy it was in there. Could have gone to Kerbey for half the price and somehow gotten in and out faster with the wait out the door that was why we went to another restaurant in the first place.

Came to try this place out for the first time this morning. I m an ICU nurse so I stopped by after a crazy 13 hr long Night Shift. I came at 8:20am my server came to check on me and get my order at 9:20am. She did brought me my coffee at 8:30. But an HOUR wait to order food?! Place was not busy maybe 4 or 5 other people there. I never placed an order and left to get something quick because at that point I was just starving. She offered not to pay for coffee as an apology. Will I come back? Absolutely not. Austin has waaay too many restaurants to give a second chance the ones you didn t like.

Hi. I was here today with my family for the third time. I loved it first time. But now everything was terrible. I asked for menu. Nobody come to us to take an order. In half of hour I ask administrative about how can I make an order she said She would ask someone to come to us. It was might empty in restaurant. We waited long for everything. They served us Texas fried with regular fries not like they had home cutted before and it said in menu. There was missing lots of ingredients. Especially visible no avocado and no ranch dressing. Officiant said sorry only after I asked where is this. Also I ordered some dinner food with pork and extra home cut fries to go. He changed us and with half of hour said they out French fries are we ok with balls. We tried it at parking lot. It was under cooked . At home I opened my dinner and it was terrible! The meet smells terrible. They cooked rotten meat. So everything was disgusting. I m so frustrated because I m still hungry and don t have time to cook. I definitely not recommend this place

Started with the avocado bruschetta, which was good, but was just avocado toast with tomatoes. I had the meatloaf patty melt cuz it sounded interesting, it was honestly one of the best sandwiches I ve ever had. I upgraded my side of fries to Texas style (which is basically chili cheese fries with avocado on top) they were basically the same taste as the patty melt. I will say with upgrading my fries on the menu it says it it was $6 and they charged me $8, which was fixed after I pointed it out. The Texas sheet cake I was so excited for, then got it and was so disappointed. The cake was obviously refrigerated so was very hard. I took it home and let it thaw a little, then the cake was dry af. For two people the bill with tip was about $90. Also one of the reasons we came was because online it says it s very dog friendly-even serving food for dogs. When we went they didn t have any of the 3-4 dog dishes they serve. But they did allow our fur baby outside no problem. I was informed inside is only allowed for service animals, which should probably be noted online, considering it s a restaurant named after a dog and advertising how dog friendly it is. In my opinion it was about as dog friendly as any bar or restaurant with a patio.

This place is as beautiful as the service and food are bad. Our waiter was very nice but never checked on us after taking our order. The food took too long to come out and tasted bad. The hashbrowns were so salty they were inedible. They remade them and then there was no salt and were soggy and only tasted like butter. The pancakes were undercooked, which made no sense considering they were thin and almost burnt. The kids grilled cheese was almost cold and the kids cheeseburgers had almost no cheese on them. The mimosa was delicious. Do not eat here.

First time at Blue Lacy (son recommended), good experience. My wife tried the CFS which was very good and I had the Meatloaf Patty Melt which was outstanding, will have this one again, but next time will opt for the kettle chips, not a fan of the fries (soft). Son had the French dip. Wanted to try the chocolate sheet cake for dessert but grandson wanted ice cream at Lick (across the walkway).

Just had lunch here and I would say it was very average overall. We had a burger and the corned beef sandwich. Both sandwiches come with chips but there is a note on the menu that you can sub fries or Texas fries (Texas fries is a small bowl of fries with chilli/cheese/avocado). We both subbed the chips for Texas fries only to find out on the bill that this substitution was $8 each. There is no price mentioned on the menu and I would be happy to pay a normal sub cost that most places have of $1/$2, but $8 is outrageous for a tiny side of fries. Service was ok and the place is nice but I wont be back based on this experience. I suggest going to the many other options nearby.

Way too salty. Everything had too much salt on it. I ordered the blackened steak salad, and what I got looked more like an entree. The tomatoes were entirely missing. I asked for a bit of pink in my steak, but it was cooked well done instead, and it was stringy and gristly. You kind of expect a steak salad to have steak pieces, but this was just one hunk of steak, and they gave me a butter knife to cut it. It was so well cooked my plate was sliding everywhere as I tried to get through it. The waiter was nice, if a little unpracticed. I should have looked at the reviews first. Dietary restrictions: They did make accomodations for my diabetic partner, but there were no default diabetes friendly meals.

The Blue Lacy was a nice little place to dine for lunch on a busy afternoon up in Mueller. I got their sliders of the day and I was actually surprised how good they were. They used buffalo and blue cheese and it was a perfect pairing. The Blue Lacy also had a satisfactory beer list and I found a perfect beer very quickly. It wasn t very crowded but the atmosphere was nice and the servers were attentive. If you find yourself up in the Mueller neighborhood, give them a try. It s pretty darn good.

This restaurant is associated with the Origin hotel, and connected to it. We went in for breakfast, and the menu is extremely limited. Primarily tacos and traditional eggs and bacon kind of plates. All grill foods, nothing like oatmeal or fruit. While the food was good, and the service was adequate but very slow, the limitations of the menu make it not a very good place to go for breakfast even though it adjoins the hotel. Parking: Expensive, inconvenient parking. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.

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 didnt 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! Didnt 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 werent happy with the experience. We only had 6 people but charged us the 8 people gratuity as 2 family members joined us but didnt order anything due to our experience!

NEVER COME HERE. 3 total tables. Maybe 4 employees. Not busy whatsoever. - Food took over 1 hour - Food came out cold - went inside to clean our own table. Bartender came & helped - Saw server 3x - went inside multiple times & saw several plates sitting out prepared - bitter cold, coconut milk coffee - a couple of us didn t even order considering the service I ve never had a whole table complain about a restaurant. I leave great honest reviews. These employees are ruining this business. Manager girl came out to see, what s going on. Server said the exact same thing last time he came out. Shame. This place looked great Edit: Just paid $90 & got vouchers for compensation. They d rather discount the burger than discount the mandatory 20% tip to the server who gave us a terrible experience Never come here.

Lovely interior, family and couple friendly, good service. Food is pretty good, but takes a little long. Nice location in the heart of Mueller. They usually don t have a wait if you re looking for a brunch spot on the weekend. We ve been here a couple times and will continue to return.

Just moved to the area and found this place to try for breakfast. I walked in and was informed that they were only doing to go or counter service b/c they didnt have a waitress. I opted for the classic breakfast.. it was ok.. definitely not worth the high price.. The eggs were salty, the toast wasnt very toasted and dry, and the hashbrowns were soggy. The coffee had a bad aftertaste and I couldnt finish it all. Cute venue and wasnt crowded. I could tell it probably is a good place to hang with your dog during busier hours.

Spent the weekend in Austin at The Origin. Ate breakfast at the Blue Lacy on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday we had Lali as our server. She was excellent. She introduced herself to us and kept checking on us to make sure everything was OK. If I owned a restaurant, I would hire her to run and train all my servers. On Sunday morning we had another server. She didnt introduce herself to us, she took long with our drink orders and then forgot to bring me water or a coffee stirrer. I had to ask Lali for one. She never checked on us except to bring us the check. Lali did check on us.

I went here for breakfast and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was pretty good nothing to write home about. However, the serving sizes were generous and the food was pretty good- nothing to write home about. The real surprise was how cheap it was. For two of us breakfast cost $20 out the door and I was surprised by this. I d probably stop by again if I was in the area and overall I had a good experience.

I had a chamomile tea and monte Cristo sandwich around 11a on a weekday. The sandwich was gorgeous but was so mediocre tasting. Mostly egg and maybe one tiny nugget of ham?

Good: Our server was nice. It is a nice and bright and open space. Great location. Pup-friendly. Clean bathrooms. The food was somewhere between good and average. The quantity for cost is a little skewed, but on par for closer to downtown. Bad: The wait time was atrocious. There were two cooks, two servers, and five or six host/manager types. There were not a lot of customers. At the end of the meal, one of the hostess/manager types kept trying to take our plates and silverware away while we were still eating. If it was busy, and a not-so-subtle hint for us to leave, rude but fine. She also took half the meal to squeeze mustard packets into bowls instead of just bringing them to the table. It seemed mis-managed, at least for this shift.

When I went with my family it wasnt too busy. The issues came up when there was only one server obviously not her fault, but Managements. My sister and I ordered the Club sandwich and their burger respectively. The french fries were SO HARD like it felt like you could chip a tooth hard. We ordered food for the dogs and it came towards the end again a fault on management for only scheduling one person per station. Saw this place on TikTok and were severely disappointed by our experience.

Our first time here, and unfortunately, we were expecting more. The restaurant is beautiful with a great vibe, but the food was underwhelming. The waitress was really nic, but there was only one person waiting on everyone, so the service was very slow. One of the meals was a hamburger, and it wasnt cooked all the way, although we asked for no red meat. I dont think Ive ever had fries as hard as these in my life. Seems like they were old fries and they just reheated them. My teeth were hurt afterward. The waitress never refilled our drinks. We had to ask for them after we were practically done with our meals. Management needs to do better in training their staff and hire more people to help out.

They were out of half the items on their menu. On a Saturday night! That s bad management. We spent $250 on a lot of alcohol and they brought us our checks and made it obvious we were done being served. An hour before they closed and there only like 3 other tables with one or two people at them. Definitely it worth the cost.

I hesitate to give such a low rating because the server we had was very nice. But man... I should have known it was not going to be amazing when the guy behind me sent his food back and didnt want a replacement. The cheeseburger was burnt to a crisp as were the hash browns. The fries were soggy, oily, and saltless. The eggs were flavorless. The restaurant wasnt even close to being busy and our food took a little bit longer than expected, but I think that was due to the corporate event happening in the far end of the restaurant.

Incredible curb appeal and very decorative. Service was good. Didnt get water refills which seemed odd. Also served water in a really small glass? Questionable. Especially as summer rolls around. Got the Monte Cristo, not at all what I was expecting. Its really just a bunch of batter around a egg cake with bits of bacon. It had almost no flavor and couldnt bring myself to take another bite. Had some berry preserves on the bottom of the plate that didnt seem to help the dish at all. My wife got the Vaquero salad and added chicken for $6 which was 4 pieces of grilled chicken and came out overcooked and lackluster in flavor. Coffee was great though! Kids plate with pancakes was good. Would definitely suggest this place work on menu development. If the best dish you have is pancakes thats not a good sign in the long term of things.

I ll start with the good our server Jesse was great, a real professional, but he s constantly being let down by the kitchen. The food is average at best, and frequently really poor. I ordered a hamburger for my daughter and it came out dry, burned and hard, it was completely inedible. We returned it and the replacement was no better, just looked gross, half overcooked and half raw. Our mashed potatoes were bland and gluey. My queso dip was cold. We left very disappointed.

Great atmosphere and nice decor at this place, but thats about it. Wait staff was fine, but nothing that stood out. Place was nearly empty with only 2 other tables and took excessively long to get our food. Food was fairly bland and tasteless. Power bowl - a few bland and cold ingredients put together in a bowl. As others have stated, the breakfast was horrible. Dried out toast. Grease packed potato hash with no other flavors. Eggs were fine. Was happy to see veggie sausage on the menu, but it came over-charred clearly with burned meat grease stuck to it. Place has a nice vibe and interesting menu options. But as a restaurant, good food is a requisite.

Decided to grab breakfast before checking out of attached hotel. Restaurant was mostly empty. Service staff spent more time chatting to one another and ignoring us than doing their jobs. Exceptionally long wait for food, despite a table of two being the only order ahead of ours. One of the cooks spent all his time talking to the wait staff while another, obviously less experienced cook, worked his butt off. His inexperience showed. They screwed up our orders and the orders next to us. The food was subpar, not prepared as requested, and a quick bite took over an hour, despite a mostly empty restaurant and full staff. Great hotel, horrible restaurant with bad food and horrible service. Go somewhere else. Do NOT recommend.

I got breakfast this morning with some friends. The courtyard space is cute and lots of people bring their dogs since theres 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 wasnt terrible but it wasnt 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 wouldnt recommend it to tourists visiting.

We just finished breakfast. The staff is friendly atmosphere great however service is so painfully slow. Kitchen staff seemed more focused on the soccer game than cooking. After waiting 40+ min for food my daughters pancakes were cold and my bruschetta was inedible due to the balsamic sauce tasting burnt. The waitress quickly took it away and a new one was made without the balsamic which took an additional 15 min by which time everyone had finished eating. There was zero discussion to comp my meal based off the inedible version being served and then significant wait times. I would not recommend for breakfast. My husband and father did say their meals were good which is why I m giving two stars and our waitress was sweet. Will not return

Nice space and pleasant wait staff, but this place is struggling. They dont have ingredients for a number of items on their small cocktail menu. The rum drink I was served tasted like suntan lotion. The fritters were bad enough that I had to send them back to the kitchen. The waiter was apologetic but also acknowledged Im not the first person to question the taste of these menu items. I think the recipes need to go back to the drawing board. I couldnt in good conscious recommend this place to anyone.

Atmosphere, food, and server Scott (5 star) was memorable. Just myself and another table seated. 10 minutes after sitting ourselves, no one came to our table. Had to wave down staff who is not a waiter to order. SERVER SCOTT, who was not our server, we waved him down and he took GREAT CARE of us the entire time. Our assigned server never came by to refill drinks, check-in on us, until we were ready to pay. Had to wave down Scott to take care of that, as well. FIVE STARS for Scott who was welcoming, accommodating, 4 day new, and the hardest worker in front. Food was perfect and the family loved the atmosphere. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.

I asked if it came with the fruit and I was told the fruit was extra and that it came with fruit compote (which we did not receive). I was told they couldnt remove the charge because they already ran my card. Poor service and the most overpriced kids meal ever.

This was my very first time visiting this establishment and it was NOT a great one. Here are my issues: 1) I patiently waited at the bar for an uncomfortable amount of time before the Bartender made a guest appearance. A couple proceeds to the bar sometime after I arrive and proceeds to sit next to me. Unlike me, they waited little to no time before the Bartender appeared....walked right past me....and started talking to them. . Im sorry, what?! I hoped that he would at least say who was next?! but of course not. The couple next to me perked up their lips and started talking and I kindly interrupted and said to the Bartender, excuse me I was here first and I have not ordered food yet. Suprislingly, the Bartender said Well excuse me, who was actually here first?!?!?!?!?! With a hand gesture and an attitude. . As if I would lie about about me arriving first. The couple simply pointed to me and he looked at me and took my order; reluctantly. 2) The Bartender did NOT I.D. me or the couple next to me as we both ordered alcoholic beverages. And last but not least, 3) I ordered the Shrimp Fritters, I had one bite and it was the most horrible food item I have ever had from a restaurant, and the Bartender actually AGREED that it was his LEAST favorite and still did not warn me. This is why I did not leave a tip. And this is why I will not recommend this establishment to anyone. Please take your business across the street. Not worth it. Everyone lee at the restaurant was nice enough.

We live not far from this place and really wanted to like it. We went on a Saturday night and they just could not deliver on several fronts. Most of the tables were not full, but the service was very slow. Tables around us were not cleared for long periods of time. It took 20 minutes or so to get our drinks out to us (wine and a cocktail). The food was just OK. I had waffles for dinner and for the price - I expected them to be special and they were dry and bland. No one else was impressed with their food either. I dont think we will try it again - for this price point, it needs to be consistently good. We found the experience stressful (waiting for food and drinks) and expensive for just OK food. The staff was friendly. I hope they can turn it around.

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.

With three servers and two tables of two (one of which was mine), we didnt receive so much as a refill of water to wash the taste out of our mouth. Then we had to go hunting down a server after 30 minutes of waiting to just pay and leave. Wouldnt recommend this place to even my mother-in-law, it was that bad. Colleens Kitchen across the street is much better and with guaranteed fresh, light and delicious options.

Snappy and atmospheric, Blue Lacy is on point for a late morning Saturday brunch (or lunch or dinner, their whole menu is served all day). The huge dog friendly patio is also gorgeous however we ate at the bar. Exceptional service from Josh! Not sure how he made so many complex, unique cocktails while casually chatting with us however his service was on point. It was really cool to see all of the cocktails made too. We tried Easy Like an Austin Morning because we literally had too after reading the ingredients. As we were discussing the cocktails merits Josh mentioned that he created the recipe which had recently been featured in Forbes (not even on purpose ). Josh was so sweet to grab us a new Blue Lacy branded ice cube for the picture below as we realized too late how adorable it is to brand an Ice Cube. We adore this spot and will definitely be back. This review is already too long however worth a mention, the food is absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!!!

Brand new. Not inexpensive, but delicious food and quite friendly staff. Eclectic menu. Seemingly to become part of boutique hotel still under construction.

Really slow service for a relatively empty day! Lots of kids as well which made for a mixed atmosphere. Drinks are outrageously priced; food is reasonable, but honestly not the best breakfast food in the area. Overall, worth trying -- but not my go-to.

I tried this place on a trip from Australia with my husband service was good, nice location but the waffles were pretty average, the bacon was greasy and pretty small servings. But I guess ur paying for the ambience.

We were served chicken tenders for my toddler that were RAW inside. After cutting it open we saw that the chicken was pink, shiny and slimy. Literally raw. This was after waiting an hour for our food with 2 hungry toddlers. It even took 30 minutes to get our waters and we were told they had trouble finding kiddie cups. Don t bring your kids here and beware of the chicken.

Overall a great new place to try out for brunch and breakfast. The service was good and the waiter was very friendly. We went to Halycon first and didnt like how grubby the place was. We quickly found this place and loved the vibe more. Getting the food took a little bit of time but after two delicious bloody Marys it didnt matter as much.

Great meal and my server Olivia was super kind and helpful. I split the Texas fries with my friend. They were so crispy and perfect. I also ordered the Hippy Cowboy Hash with a side of the hatch salsa. Don t skip on the hatch salsa!

Eli was so friendly and helpful. He listened intently and made eye contact. I felt valued as a customer, because of his excellent customer service. The restaurant was clean, and the food was excellent. An awesome experience that I want to share with others.

Me and the kiddos decided that a staycation in Austin before school started was a must so we came to Origin Hotel (love) and found Blue Lacy! The food (especially my salmon) was delicious the decor is adorable and the puppies enjoying their food is the Cutest. I suggest going when you can sit and chill . It s a non-rushed environment as well.

First time guest, tried the meatloaf and it was truly as good as mom used to make. Shout out to my waiter Mikey, I was a server for 10+ years and he has the personality, attentiveness, and menu knowledge you want when dining at a new restaurant. 10/10 will be back soon.

I got dinner at Blue Lacy over 4th of July weekend, and I had a great experience. The atmosphere and the service were outstanding. Mikey was my waiter, and he was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He gave great recs and was very communicative. The food was delicious: I had the meatloaf and the potato soup. I think the soup was one of my favorite soups Ive had. I also had a couple drinks, and I loved the Shotgun Willy Whiskey Sour. Portion sizes were generous as well. Overall, excellent service from Mikey, outstanding food, and a unique atmosphere.

Short review: Great experience. Kid and dog friendly. Very beautiful ambiance indoor and outdoors. Games inside too. Waffle texture was weird and Chorizo was a little greasy. Long review: Overall great experience! I waited to read the previous reviews so they wouldnt override my experience. The fact that they are kid and dog friendly is HUGE. Not too many places accommodate for both. We ordered the Hippy Cowboy Hash. There was quite a bit of grease with this dish. I understand Chorizo can be greasy, but we felt it was a little much. The egg was cooked well and I love the mini potatoes. We also ordered the Chicken and Waffle Kabobs. The chicken was really juicy and the breading was great! I loved the presentation with the strawberries. The waffles had a strange crumbly texture, but edible. Very sharable. We sat outside around noon in Summer. The overall atmosphere is beautiful. The live plants on the tables are a great touch. Fans would have been nice, but it was do-able. (We chose to sit outside). The inside was also nice and cool. They had lots of seating and games! Great service. Our server Erik was attentive and very nice/informative. The door was labeled which helped us enter, but its weird its not the first door. Lol Well be back with our dogs and kiddo!

So we went today! The place is super nice and is connected to a boutique hotel. We got to meet fellow Blue Lacy Owners group member and their dog Blue Lacy Bailey! Id definitely go again. And yes, they do sell the mug for 25 bucks! Kinda pricey for a mug but I bought three anyway. The staff is super nice and the food was good. The menu is well thought out and well executed. Plenty to walk around and see. The whole area is super dog friendly and there is a beautiful brand new pary mear yards away. The patio is spacious, well shaded and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Great food, great staff and a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff members i interacted with (Josh, Gabe and Bella) were very pleasant and conducted themselves well. Highly recommended restaurant that also doubles as a place to relax and unwind.
