Red River Cafe

Red River Cafe is a cozy diner-style spot near UT campus!There are a couple parking spots right out front, along with nearby street parking. We came for brunch on a Sunday, and were seated pretty much immediately. Our server was attentive and we got our food within a reasonable time. The interior design/general ambiance is also pretty charming.Eggs Benedict (4/5)- Featured English muffins, over-easy eggs with hollandaise sauce, bacon, and a heaping side of hashbrowns- Taste was good, pretty standard for eggs benedict.- Good portion sizes! Will fill you up.My friend and I also got a mimosa to share, so brunch came out to be about $17 each.Overall Red River Cafe isn't anything too fancy but the food is solid here, service is good, and prices are affordable. Would recommend trying it out if you're looking for breakfast/brunch options near campus!

Had some breakfast here with a few friends. Service was amazing. They made sure our drinks were refilled at all times and asked if we needed any sauces or anything extra multiple times through our stay.I ordered a breakfast platter with eggs, hashbrowns biscuit, and some steak. Steak was very tender and seasoned really well. Hashbrowns or crispy and salty. Only thing I wish they did was put a little less butter on the biscuit, it was kind of draining in butter. The inside is very clean and very cozy. There's a few parking spaces in the front, but there's also some spots on the street for free if the ones in the front are full.

This restaurant near campus serves very simple breakfast and lunch food at reasonable prices. The portions are modest, so you should definitely order sides if you are hungry. There are tiny parking lots in the front and back that each hold about two cars, but there is also free street parking in the neighbourhood.I came here with my friend for Sunday brunch, and there was no wait when we were there from 11am till noon. I ordered the Santa Barbara omelette, which came with an English muffin or toast on the side. The food was very ordinary. I like omelettes, and this one was pretty normal. My friend ordered the American scrambled, which came with a side of English muffin or toast, and she chose fruit for her additional included side. The fruit turned out to just be two pieces of watermelon, which she said was good, but we were definitely expecting an assortment of fruit.

I had a yummy blueberry banana pancake and my dad had the denver omelette. Both were delicious. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio. Good service. Went to the bathroom and the hall that led to the bathroom and kitchen had an unpleasant odor.

One of my favorite spots in Austin for a casual dining experience! Came here for breakfast, and it was pretty empty. Service was great as it always is, and the inside is clean and cozy. The portions have gotten smaller in the past several years, especially with the omelettes, but the food is still great.There are only a few parking spots in the front, but there's street parking nearby.

This was a nice and cozy find for breakfast with the wife and GD. Super friendly service from start to end. GD went with the short stack of (huge) pancakes with eggs and fruit...watermelon to be exact, it was definitely past its prime as this is a summer time fruit. All three of us did the best we could trying to polish of the delicious pancakes, but to no avail we failed. Wife went with the American scramble, again a great plate of food...and I opted for the Migas, and for a "Diner" it hit the spot.

I thought the waiter did a good job. My fruit which was watermelon was delicious. The hot chocolate was perfect. It had drizzled chocolate syrup and whipped cream. The kids portion was perfect for me. Sunnyside eggs and the pancake were phenomenal as well. I will be back.The outdoor seating was there and if I knew, I would have utilized it.The WiFi was not working which was disappointing .

Sad I was unable to visit during my trip to Austin last weekend...haven't been there since Rahim sold it...hope he is doing well...glad it is still around...next time...

Super great to visit Red River. Felt like meeting up with an old friend! My first encounter with Red River dates back 40 years. Astonishingly, not much has altered. It's still a beacon of light, cleanliness, and affordability. The service remains superb, and the menu is exceptional. Thrilled to have you around!!

I'll be honest, the food was delicious. That is, the part of the order that we actually received was delicious. I'll use the term waitress loosely. She more so was just an order taker. Never came to check on us, in fact she never came back to the table at all. The busser/manager/cashier ran out our partial order but we never received the pancakes we ordered. When he brought us the bill to pay, both pancakes were on the bill. We informed him that we never received them at all. He seemed surprised, and apologized but only took one pancake off the bill? Mind you there are maybe ten tables at most in the dining room and we saw at least 3 waitresses. Not sure if I would return. Food can take you only so far, good service is what this place needs help with.
