Our Guestbook
“ I highly enjoyed the old American charm and delicious food of Toasty Badger. Service was also delightful and personable. The tomato jam really shone in my biscuits and gravy, and the griddle cake of the month (peanut butter banana) was a treat! I would definitely return and highly recommend trying here if you haven’t yet! ”
“ I’ve done about four visits. Sat at the bar each time. I’ve enjoyed some nice cocktails Honey-Eyed Fox, The Fuzzy Bear, and gin and tonic. I’ve always gotten the French-style omelette with the cubed hash browns Cube shape has them crispy on outside. I like the omelette prepared French style and the seared / bruised tomatoes with greens on the side. I’ve had the pancakes and bacon also very good. They do the toast on the flattop with butter so it’s very good that way. Toast comes with a house jam / compote Overall very good and love the general vibe ”
“ Writing this mid-meal at the Toasty Badger for the first time. Best classic, diner-style food I’ve ever had. The pancakes are delicious and fluffy, eggs are perfectly scrambled & the hash brown is salty and crunchy. Not to mention, the cold brew has just the right amount of boldness. Atmosphere is cozy and gets a ton of natural daylight. Music is a vibe and service is great. Liz was the best! Will come here often! ”
“ Food and service were great! The atmosphere is a modern take on a vintage diner. Cool and clean inside. We were greeted and sat promptly around 10am in the morning on a Wednesday. Our server was super sweet and friendly. The food was great! I ate the breakfast sandwich and my husband had the griddle cakes. Both were delicious but warning, the griddle cakes are huge! I also ordered a Bloody Mary, super amazing and spicy! Our bill was about 50 for two plates, a Bloody Mary, and a coffee. All in all, a great place to catch brunch! ”
“ So happy we found this place! We got lunch though the breakfast looked fantastic. Will be back for that. The Grain Bowl was outstanding. Very savory and filled with fresh veggies. The Chicken sandwich was delicious. Impeccable service- everyone was friendly, helpful and attentive. They have counter service in two areas, tables and a patio out- lots of options for seating. ”
“ Went in for the first time for brunch this afternoon and had an amazing experience! The hostess was extremely friendly and accommodating when I asked for a specific table outside. Gina got to our table right away and didn’t mind when we took a second to order. My drip coffee was out almost instantly and the Monte Cristo was the perfect sweet and savory combo — I’ll definitely be back! ”
“ We arrived without a reservation and only had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. This of course could vary greatly on the weekends. The pancakes are large and fluffy so factor that in if you're adding it as a side. I loved the fresh green salad that cake with my omelet, which was also quite flavorful. This will definitely go on our recommendation list for others visiting Austin. ”
“ The food was delicious! My wife ordered the "Smoke Salmon Benedict" and she loved every bite. I ordered a omelet and a stack of pancakes. The omelet was perfection and the pancakes were very huge and tasty! We will definitely come back to order more menu items. ”
