Jacoby's Restaurant & Mercantile

Loved our early Mother’s Day brunch at Jacoby’s. The beautifully decorated outdoor patio with views of the river made for a lovely and inviting atmosphere. The housemade baked items were standouts on the menu. Our favorites were the scones and cinnamon roll. You must try them. We also really enjoyed the Mac n cheese and Bloody Mary (seasoned and garnished perfectly). Service was so friendly and attentive. I would love to come back for dinner. A lovely spot in Austin for brunch. Well done, Jacoby’s.

They had a good brunch. The outdoor view was amazing! I had the ribeye Benedict and my gf had the beef hash. Another had the chicken fried steak and waffles. Service was acceptable.

Everything was wonderful! Portions were more than enough! Oh my goodness, if you like meatloaf you must try the BBQ Meatloaf! And the Parmesan Gnocchi is delectable too. The stuffed yeast rolls are tasty but filling so you only need one. My family members really, really, really enjoyed their Chicken Fried Chicken and Chicken Fried Steak. One of us had steak and based on his plate I am pretty sure he enjoyed it immensely since there was nothing left on his plate. And speaking of plates, I loved the plates that the food was served on because they reminded me of the dinnerware that we would eat on at my Grandmother's house. The appetizer plates which were blue and white tins kind a gives a camping vibe. Loved the mason jars for water. We made reservations since there were 6 of us and we were seated in a nice area on the patio. If you happen to be fortunate to have Claire as your server you will be well taken care of. Oh one more thing, save room for dessert the strawberry cake is worth it.

Great food, beautiful view. Dog friendly! The portions are pretty big so think about sharing. The decor and ambience are so relaxing and tons of fans under the shaded area to keep you cool. The large mimosa pitcher is definitely meant for 3-4 people as it was a lot for 2 people to drink. Highly recommend if you’re in East Austin! Make a reservation and parking lot is only valet for $6

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jacoby’s in Austin is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting — rustic, laid-back, and perfectly Austin. The food was outstanding — every bite packed with fresh, farm-to-table flavor. I especially loved how the staff made us feel right at home, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. What truly makes Jacoby’s stand out, though, is how pet-friendly they are. The patio is spacious, shaded, and welcoming for furry friends — our dogs were treated like family with water bowls and lots of attention from the staff. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both incredible food and such a relaxed, pet-friendly vibe. Highly recommend Jacoby’s for anyone looking to enjoy amazing food, great service, and a place where your four-legged friends can join in on the fun. Can’t wait to go back!

Went in for their Thursday steak and frites special and did not disappoint!! Really good, tender steak cooker to a perfect medium. Cosmopolitan cocktail was great too. Update: we also tried their burger and it’s delicious!! Will be adding Jacobys to one of my staple restaurants in Austin :)

This place is really nice looking! We went for Sunday Brunch and the food was delicious. We ordered the biscuits and gravy, the club sandwich, and the strawberry cake. They even came by an asked us if we wanted an extra cinnamon roll that they had! Our waitress was so nice. We sat inside and luckily we made the right choice as it was pouring but the outside looked pretty covered. Will definitely be back!
