Blue Star Cafeteria - Austin

Very good! I got the spinach Waldorf salad and really liked it. We ordered the crispy artichoke hearts and I would get that again. Decent parking, not too busy on a Monday evening around 7.

Saw the line at a nearby restaurant and kept walking. So glad I did! Joanie's was delicious and had fast, great service! I had the croissant sandwich with egg, cheese and sausage with hash browns. It was huge enough to have shared. I was amazed at dishes coming out to other patrons; huge piles high waffles, omelette stuffed so full they were nearly as big as the plate. Try it, you won't be disappointed. I felt sad for those still choosing to wait in line down the street while I had a happy full belly!

Great lunch spot! This establishment is really open and kind of has a retro sort of feel to it. The oysters and chip appetizer is a must. I love the meat loaf and any of their sandwiches or burgers. Brunch is good, but I feel like it’s a little over-priced. Though I’ve never been when it’s super crowded, service can still be slow, which might be annoying depending on how much of a hurry you’re in. Otherwise, it’s always a leisurely-paced meal. Definitely worth a shot.

A friend and I visited for brunch when they first opened Saturday morning. The mimosa was good, but my friends poinsettia drink was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed my Eggs Benedict, though I wish I had either a slice of toast or a larger English muffin to soak up more of the egg yolk and hollandaise sauce. Very delicious! I highly recommend if your looking for a cute but quieter brunch place on the weekend.

The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the pan-seared chicken, and it was fantastic. However, I wish the portion size had been a bit larger considering the price. It would have been nice if the entree included a side salad or some bread. Our waitress was very friendly, but she seemed a bit busy when we first arrived, which caused a slight delay in taking our orders. She was apologetic about it, so it wasn't a major issue. The restaurant was very clean and well-decorated. It's another great spot on Burnet. I'm definitely looking forward to returning for their weekend brunch!
