   We had a great brunch here today! Our 10/10 items were: Bloody Mary, deviled eggs, butter lettuce salad, mac&cheese, chicken & waffles, and tomato quiche. Service and environment were lovely too. My only complaint is price and I can’t say we will go back because if this; $160 for brunch with only 3 drinks seems super high to me. Mimoas are $26 for a small pitcher?! No thanks, that buys about 4 bottles of champaign at the market

   I thoroughly enjoyed every menu item. Cinnamon roll was filling with the right amount of sweetness, citrus salad was fresh and tasty, smoked migas were so full of flavor that I didn’t even remember it was chicken (thought it was pork)! Of course I may be a little biased because my boyfriend proposed to me just before we got to our table so everything about the meal was special, even the complimentary glass of bubbly that was sent to our table. That was our first time visiting and we’ll definitely be back!

   It was good southern food. The beef hash was sweet bbq beef, with salty potatoes, and runny eggs. Almost too much flavor even with the sauce on the side. The best dish was the chicken fried steak and waffles. The gravy on it was amazing. Strawberry cake was not that impressive. The seasonal strawberry poptart was very soft and rich in flavor.

   This restaurant did not disappoint. We came from out of town with a group of six. We were seated outside which was covered and had fans, so very comfortable. For starters we had the Pimento Cheese and Deviled Eggs, but don’t miss out on the Stuffed Yeast Rolls—-Amazing!!! The meatloaf was recommend and was excellent. As was the shrimp & grits and salmon. The service was also fantastic! Everyone from our waiter to the table busser were incredibly personable.

   The food and drinks were excellent, our server was awesome.. but the place was so bustling that we, as a party of 2, could barely hold a conversation. There were a few large celebrations which it would have been lovely if they had been separated slightly from the rest of the diners (as there appeared to be ample space further from the building). Additionally, we parked in an open spot as we approached the restaurant, but then we're advised that we parked in their valet section and would need to relocate or pay $10. There needs to be signage for this, and the valet people were gone when we ended our meal, which seemed rather odd for the people who did utilize the valet service? Ultimately, we will absolutely return. It's a beautiful restaurant with excellent food and drinks.

    Excellent service, very nice ambience for a brunch, pleasant, but not impossibly loud. We visited on a rainy day, in pleasant weather the outside deck with a view of the river must be really nice. Food was good and competent.

    Food was underwhelming - bland and small portions. I recall it being much better a few years back, but it was terrible last night. Drinks and patio are great, but skip the food.

    Server, Chris, and others were very attentive. Loved the ambiance. Fairly quiet for a Thursday night. Food was decent, a bit pricey for what you get quality wise. Nothing stuck out compared to similarly priced restaurants. Chocolate cobbler is really good though.

    Food was super yummy. I got the chicken fried steak & waffles and it was delicious! The gravy on top was the best part. Others got the Beef Hash. They said the BBQ sauce was delicious and it was very filling. Another friend of mine got the Crab Cakes and wasn’t a huge fan because it was super fishy. Lastly we got a side of sausage and it wasn’t anything special.

    This is our daughters favorite restaurant so we come to this every time we visit her in Austin. We have sat on the patio and inside and at the bar, but there is no bad place to sit. The menu is interesting and we find that each time we come back we try something different, and I never am disappointed.

    We went for Easter Brunch. The value was disappointing. The variety of food was good but the quality of the food was not good. Prime rib was overcooked and there was no horseradish. They didn't even have it available. The food was cold and there were a lot of flies. Crispy bacon wasn't really crispy. The eggs were super dried out. Dessert was mini strawberry cupcake mini carrot cake cupcake ad chocolate fountain with strawberries and sugar cookies. The chocolate fountain wasn't very appetizing. The bottom of the foundation had chocolate congealed instead of smooth and flowing. Seems like food quality here has really deteriorated. Not a good value for $45/head. Would not come back.

    My husband and I went to Jacoby's for brunch and had a great experience overall! After reading some of the other reviews which were mixed, I was skeptical going in but we both thought the food was delicious and the service was fantastic even though they were busy. We did think it was slightly overpriced, especially because several of the food items were $1 or $2 more than what they were listed as on the menu online so obviously they have been increasing prices. Overall, we'd come back because the food was tasty but not as often as we would if it were a little more affordable. Here were the food items we got: Buttermilk Biscuits & Gravy - DELICIOUS and more filling than expected... we did wish the gravy had more sausage in it Jacoby Beef Hash - This was an excellent combination of flavors! The house BBQ sauce is definitely on the sweeter side. Again, we wished there was a little more beef but TONS of potatoes which were super tasty in the sauce! Pimento Cheese Grits - We had seen pictures of these ad they didn't look that special but these ended up being one of our favorite items! The pimento taste is so good! Mac & Cheese (added brisket) - WOW! This was a much bigger portion than we expected... very good and lots of brisket! Manchego Tater Tots - These were good... similar to a cheese curd. We thought the inside would be a mixture of potato and cheese but it was all cheese. The sauce that comes with it is very good! Strawberry Cake - We had heard great things about this cake and it didn't disappoint! It tasted just like the strawberry shortcake ice cream bars I used to eat in elementary school. Usually I much prefer chocolate flavored dessert but I'd come back just for this cake because it was that good!

    The service was wonderful at Jacobys! The drinks were really amazing too. We particularly enjoyed the Moscow mule and the coffee frangelica drink. So smooth and delicious! The meatloaf was outstanding, hands down the best one I’ve ever had. My partner really enjoyed the shrimp and grits as well. Would definitely recommend!

    I will definitely be back. Had the best scone of my life, maple pecan. I would've preferred the crab cakes on the eggs benedict be either baked or sauteed, but I think they were fried? I would've enjoyed a side of fruit or small salad be included with my meal as well, as the portion seemed a bit small but overall the quality was great. The hollandaise sauce served with the benedict was unique in a great way.
