Fat Rabbit Social House — Restaurant in Austin

We were so bummed to hear that Forthright was gone, but that disappointment quickly turned into excitement when we learned that Rachael had taken over ownership and opened The Fat Rabbit, bringing some of our beloved Copper favorites along with her.

It’s the perfect blend of Forthright’s cozy charm and Copper’s amazing menu, creating a fresh new spot that still feels familiar in all the best ways. The boozy coffees are incredible, and you truly can’t go wrong with the shrimp and grits, breakfast burritos, or biscuits and gravy. These have all become staples for us.

The staff is so friendly, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it’s ideal for a relaxed brunch. The location is fantastic too with plenty of parking options. If the front lot is full, you’ll find spots behind the building and in the nearby garage.

A huge shoutout to Rachael, the owner, who is the absolute best. We’re so happy to see her bring this new space to life with the perfect mix of favorites from both Forthright and Copper. The Fat Rabbit has officially become one of our go-to brunch...

I had brunch here while visiting Austin. Loved the restaurant's aesthetic and food/ drinks were delicious. This restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor dining. Looks bright and very clean. Staff was very welcoming and pets are allowed. Menu offered Breakfast and lunch options. I highly recommend starting with fried goat cheese balls 10/10. So delicious!!

I need to learn how to make these at home. Next I tried the truffles goat cheese bacon and egg sandwich. Very good and large portion. I opted for breakfast potatoes but honestly think it tastes better with the fries. Service was quick, we made last minute reservations and didn't have to wait at all. Great location and highly recommend for a simple,modern and...

Fat Rabbit Social House replaced one of my favorite brunch spots in Austin – Forthright Cafe. As such fat rabbit had some big shoes to fill, and not only did it fill them, but it exceeded my expectations! Service was quick and efficient, staff was very friendly, and food was delicious! The entire menu looked so good, it was very hard to choose what to order. I ended up getting the truffled deviled eggs and the truffle goat cheese and bacon sandwich. Both very delicious and would get again! For my gluten-free folks, there are a few items marked as gluten-free on the menu, but they also have gluten-free bread which they can replace for anything that comes with bread and they also have gluten-free waffles (which I will need to try next time). I can’t wait to come back and try...
