Recently I finally got to try a Westlake Hills classic: Texas Honey Ham. Here you’ll find a comfortable place where the community gathers to enjoy good food and great service. I went for brunch and got, in picture order:
Club Sandwich: triple decker of ham, turkey, and bacon with swiss, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, and mayo. I substituted the white bread for a bun instead and that made this one of the best club’s I’ve had. They make it warm which I prefer much more. A must try for my sandwich lovers! Great price at just $9.49.
Breakfast Roll: fried egg, cheese, and choice of meat. I added their baked potato hash that has some bacon in it and wow that was a great choice because I liked it a lot. This is only $2.99 too!!
The Benny: an interesting take on the eggs benedict. Here they take a cornbread muffin, add ham, egg, quest, cotija cheese, and cilantro. This was my first time having a benedict, since y’all know I don’t eat egg, but this was really good. I liked the contrasts of the creamy cheese with the honey flavor of the cornbread and with the smokey honey glazed flavor of the ham. $8.99 for this one.
Pig in a Blanket: a biggg pancake wrapped around their grilled honey ham. For only $4.49 this is a steal. The pancake is really filling and the addition of the ham was unique. Don’t knock it until you try it!
Overall, I enjoyed the variety of breakfast and lunch foods that I got. I’m not a big ham guy either, but here that’s what they are known for and they do a good job with them. I found myself really enjoying it in the pancake and the sandwich. I had great service from the staff and I would definitely come back again. I give them a 4/5 for...
Read moreLet me just start by saying I've grown up in Austin, so I've had every breakfast taco and sandwich around. This unassuming little place gets my vote as best in the city -- hands down, bar none. Every time one of my friends from out of town comes to visit, I bring them here and they are nothing short of astonished. They ask about Texas Honey Ham months after visiting -- it's literally one of the most memorable parts of Austin for everyone I take.
This is one of those rare restaurants where the passion and love is tangible. Every ingredient seems highly curated, the line cooks work quickly but obviously care tremendously about doing things properly and consistently. They cook your taco add-ins with the eggs, the tortillas are warm and buttered, the salsa is fresh and has an appropriate bite for the food you're putting it on. Clearly, someone has put some serious thought into the ingredients and preparation of everything they make. It may be a little out of the way if you're downtown, but not by much with weekend traffic. Seriously, try this place. You just stumbled onto Austin's not so best kept secret.
While I don't have a personal connection to anyone who works here yet, I'm looking forward to talking to the staff more. From what I can tell they're all very competent, attentive and friendly. I'll see y'all around; I'm the guy with...

The Breakfast Bun was delicious! Served on a house made bun it had scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon and was topped with Swiss and cheddar cheese! The perfect toast to the softest bun and you can tell they use quality ingredients the way it melted in my mouth each bite! The portion was on the large side so I took the rest for lunch! It would be a great item to share with a friend if yall were not too hungry.
They were quite busy but still had smiles on their faces and fast service. I had my food in less than 20 min!
I feel like this would be a great place to meet up with friends or even a bookclub as it was lively and full of positive energy.
Parking: lots of spaces that are constantly rotating with availability and handicapped...
