The Buzz Mill Brunch Bird - Austin

I wouldn't order from this restaurant again. The food was okay, but I wasn't impressed. I also ordered an iced tea, but it had no sweetener and there was no option to add any, which was disappointing. If I had known beforehand, I wouldn't have ordered it.

The experience was fantastic - the staff were friendly and I recommend getting there early to fully enjoy it.

I have never been disappointed with the coffee here. The atmosphere is wonderful, and with the option of Brunch Bird in the mornings and Plow Burger for the rest of the day, you can always count on a delicious meal.

Ordered one of their summer specials, the patty melt with garlic parm fries. Bread was crispy on the top piece but soggy on the bottom. Flavor was great. Big portions! Got their hibiscus iced tea and cold brew made in house with oat milk and lavender syrup. Both delicious. It’s an odd and unconventional setup. You grab a menu, seat yourself, and order your food at the bar. Super nice bartender! She gives you a beeper that lights up when your food is ready. You walk to the back to get your order which is placed on a small table. No waitress ever checks in on you. Very darkly lit inside with odd seating and subfloor used as the finished floor. There is a lot of nice outdoor seating but it was way too hot for that. The meal was great though. I liked the bird art on the walls!

This location of Buzz Mill is in my opinion a business that had an opportunity to open another location and didn’t quite think it through. It seems to me like the only thing that they thought through was the power to charge $15 or more for flavorless breakfasts that aren’t even served with condiments. I’ve visited Buzz Mill many times. I love the look, the feel, the outdoors, the staff are friendly as can be… I’ve had Brunch Bird many times. The staff again are very friendly, and the food was good enough. The prices were high but I mistakenly attributed that to a growing business trying to make enough money to get out of a [censored] location. The food at brunch bird is large in portion sizes, but misses the mark on some very key elements. 1. Charging as much as they do for literally- beyond meat chicken tenders and silver dollar sized sausage patty’s should be illegal. 2. Enticing promises of vanilla lemon berry jam are met with ZERO FLAVOR I’m also just gonna say it- what happened y’all? Did no one measure anything at this place before you started making the furniture for it? The chairs and tables are all so mismatched you end up towering over the person on the other side of you. The booths inside literally cover half the windows in an already dimly lit establishment. I mean, good for you for opening the place up but it lost the entire feel of buzz mill and I don’t plan to return any time soon.
