This was our first time getting breakfast here. They had a great patio that is dog friendly. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Our dog definitely loved the attention! I had the Waterloo Benedict and it was delicious! The queso is a nice twist on the typical Eggs Benedict. The hash browns were good, but I usually like mine a little more crispy. My fiance had the Texas Hill Country breakfast. I sampled his bacon (for science, of course) and it very crispy which I loved! We also split a pancake and it was massive and super fluffy. We will definitely be back for breakfast!

Waterloo Ice House Escarpment was a fun vibe, with good food, and an accommodating staff. The menu offers something for everyone from brunch items, to sandwiches, finger foods, kids meals, etc. We visited on a Saturday morning and were given brunch menus. The items looked tasty, but when we asked to see the lunch menu we were surprised to find the brunch menu items were also on there. In the future they should probably just hand out the larger lunch menus to give people options The interior is fun with neat canoe decor on the sealing, sports games on the tvs, and plenty of areas for sitting and eating. There is a nice patio on the side of the retardant, and a playhouse in the back for kids. It's also a nice setup that the playhouse is on a hill and the back of the restaurant has plenty of windows so families can enjoy a meal or the company of friends and family while still having eyes on their little ones We were a large table of 10+ with half being kids, and the server was on top of everything. All our drinks, meals, and additional requests came out without a hitch. I feel like our table was all over the place, and the server was not only friendly, but was attentive Some tips: If you have children, sit near the back so your kids can enjoy the playhouse. Also, kids receive crayons and a menu to color. I would also consider ordering a short or full stack of some of their delicious pancakes to share with the table on top of the main orders. Lastly, I was intrigued by the Texas Philly (with queso and poblanos). It was actually quite tasty. A little smaller than a typical Philly cheesesteak/hoagie, but it was good. I would also substitute the fries for sweet potato waffle fries Cheers!!

Ordered the same thing as before. This time we got Mac and Cheese instead of fries, a cheeseburger and a Texas chili (added extra jalapeños) and a brownie. Great tasting and super fast delivery!

What a great establishment in South Austin. I know from friends that have lived here for a long time that this place is a long time staple in the Austin area even though this is an expansion store and not the original in North Central Austin. It's bar food but it is a little bit better and definitely on the upper end of what you typically would expect. All the fried food is exceptional and has the perfect amount of breading and is fried to a Golden crisp. The tater tots and the breakfast items are also very well done. So many options to choose from I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Tonight we had a new item park chop seated and then baked mashed potatoes and green beans with Texas toast and it was great. We never had it before and it was tender and flavorful. Grandchild had macaroni and cheese with fruit cup and it was good.

Stopped here for a late Brunch with the wife and kids. There are plenty of different options whether you are visiting for breakfast, drinks, or lunch. The food items were fresh and simple (indicating healthier) while still having good flavor. I had the hash, which I would characterize closer to home fries with fixings. My wife had the classic breakfast taco, which was good, but not enough for lunch on its own. The staff was generally attentive. I wasn't a fan that their portable pay system didn't show you the breakdown before paying, but the print out was fine. Otherwise a place for kids. Mickey Mouse pancakes, scrambled eggs and sausage or bacon with drink at a reasonable price. Also a good place to get some energy out at the play place. Only wish they had seating near the play place to let the kids play more, although I could see that being quite warm.

This time I once again had the Fish 'N Chips where the menu described the fish as hand-battered, crispy, light & delicious. It was served with hand-cut french fries, jalapeno tartar sauce & malt vinegar and for the first time a Yuengling Flight. It was a perfect choice as I sat at the bar. It is a great option if you want to be separated from kids where this place is very family friendly with a playground in the back. The fish tasted very good and easy to dip into the tartar sauce which both had great flavor. Just the right amount of fires compliment the meal. Meanwhile I enjoyed the light taste of the beer and was quite good.
