Best Diners in Round Rock

"Counter Cafe isn’t anything novel but they serve some of the best breakfast and brunch in Austin!. It’s a must try if you’re in the area and we are never disappointed by the food here. We’ve mentioned them before for their delicious burger (on my list of 15 best burgers in Austin) and the breakfast is at the same caliber of quality and deliciousness."

"Counter Cafe was once the site of my brother’s birthday celebration. I’m not sure how we all fit into the original location, a former 1950s diner with limited space. But we toasted him and all other good things in this world, with pancakes."

"Counter Cafe is known for its farm-to-table cuisine like the breakfast tacos with organic eggs, southern poached eggs with stone ground artisan cheese grits, crab cake benedict, and bottomless local coffee."

"For an upscale diner experience, complete with cocktails and a nice beer list, in a space that feels more like a mid-century modern eatery than a typical pancake house, check out 24 Diner. Chef Andrew Curren, who briefly appeared on the most recent season of Top Chef on cable TV, serves hash, waffles and frittatas made with locally sourced vegetables and meats, as well as burgers, sandwiches and other lunch items. (Austinite Paul Qui, who ended up winning Top Chef, doesn't serve breakfast at his restaurant, Uchiko, or his East Side King trailers, but you should try to check them out when you're in town anyway.) This popular eatery often has a queue, but you can take a stroll through Waterloo Records or Whole Foods Market's flagship store nearby while you wait for a table."

"24 Diner is an American-style diner in Austin, originally opened in 2010 as part of the ELM Restaurant Group. The diner, which takes its cues from traditional 1950s-style roadside diners, is helmed by executive chef Andrew Curren, a graduate of New York City's Culinary Institute of America. Dishes are served up 24 hours a day, highlighting locally-sourced farm-to-table fare whenever possible."

"People may be sad that the Frisco is gone, but this other longtime restaurant still brings those old school diner vibes with classic pancakes. Pro tip: Order a side of a short-stack with any of the breakfast dishes."

"The move to Airport Boulevard didn’t mess with the breakfast retreat’s offerings. Ask for one of the omelets obviously, most of which run under $10. View this post on Instagram"

"Sawyer & Co is one of those places that makes you feel good—there’s something about the inviting retro digs that encourages lingering brunches with pals. While it may have been awhile since you last traveled to the Big Easy, Sawyer’s menu brings all those N’awlins diner feelgoods right to your tastebuds. We’re talking crawfish etouffee, jambalaya, cheesy grits, muffalettas, the works."

"Location & ParkingEast Austin // Small Parking Lot, Mostly Street. DetailsThis gem happens to also been on my Best Brunches in Austin, but the patio could not not show up on this list. Sawyer and Co is a contemporary Louisianastyle brunch spot with plenty of outdoor seating for a beautiful day."

"Sawyer & Co., famous for their crawfish, brings the heat of the bayou to Austin. Check them out for a blend of New Orleans flavor and Texas hospitality."

"A list of Austin pancakes cannot be complete without mention of Star Seeds Cafe. Star Seeds is the Mecca of 24-hour breakfast and delights in seeing you post-dancing (after you have worked up an appetite, of course.) Maybe it is the nostalgia of a good night dancing that adds the glow around Star Seeds, or the checkered floor and black round seats that take you back to times you didn’t actually live through. But make no mistake, these pancakes are worth a stop any time of day."

"3101 N Interstate 35| Formerly known as Star Seeds cafe, this little diner is a classic greasy spoon restaurant specializing in breakfast at all hours of the day in a fun and funky ambiance. That means a rad pile-up of biscuits, burgers, and breakfast tacos. You’ll also find some delicious vegetarian-friendly options or whatever you’re in the mood for."

"Gourdough’s Public House is known for its extravagant doughnuts and doughnut-based sandwiches. They are truly one of a kind in which one needs to check out for the ultimate donut in Austin experience. Just picture this, the Mother Clucker (included fried chicken and honey butter over a doughnut) and the Drunken Hunk (bacon-wrapped meatloaf, a fried egg, and bourbon- or cider-based barbecue sauce over a doughnut)."

"You might not actually blackout, but you are sure to get chocolate-wasted off one of the best donuts in Austin. The Gourdough’s trailer makes them, but the restaurant on South 1st will make you feel like an Austinite."

"In recent years, thanks, in large part, to the folks at Peached Tortilla, Austin has become the land of the baroque milkshake, piled high with an absurd abundance of toppings. But this summer, we’re going back to the basics, a classic chocolate malted from Nau’s Enfield Drug, where they’ve been jerkin' soda since 1951. Sit at the counter and pretend you’re an extra in Grease."

"If you’re looking for a natural spa experience that even boasts non-toxic nail salon services, check out Milk + Honey. This spa has racked up a slew of local and national awards for its services and offers a variety of a la carte options for remedies, salon services, or even lash extensions. If you’re looking for a solo day of leisure or a couple’s retreat, you can pick from their packages or customize your own for a memorable day or a fabulous gift."

"Slip on one of their soft robes, and let their enthusiastic staff pamper you. Their downtown location opened in 2006, and their Hill Country Galleria location came along two years later. After more than a decade serving Austin at these two locations — plus two salons around town — they must be doing something right!"

"milk + honey boasts their signature organic honey therapeutic oil that puts you into full relaxation mode. They now have 4 Austin locations as well as Houston and Fort Worth locations. What we love about this place is the quality of massages and the ambiance of the waiting rooms."

"Hosting an array of services for body and soul — including both traditional and Ayurvedic massage options, cupping, and acupuncture — you will find everything you need to thrive at Hiatus Spa. Hiatus features eighteen different treatment suits, a nail lounge with zero gravity chairs, and a hydrotherapy room for guests to enjoy. Hiatus allows you to do affordable add-ons to your services, for example if you’d like extra massage time or the option of incorporating Auricular Therapy into your itinerary for just $10."

"Zero Gravity Institute Float Spa is a one of a kind spa that offers floatation service that helps you achieve an ultimate form of relaxation for both your mind and body using their special room and equipment. Aside from their zero gravity float room, they also houses other facilities for yoga and different massage and Reiki therapy. They offer Swedish, deep tissue, shiatsu, lymphatic, lomi-lomi, acupressure, reflexology and more that will help improve your blood circulation and remove all body pains and other health problems that you are experiencing like constipation and indigestion."

"In typically eccentric Austin fashion, the Zero Gravity Institute offers something totally unique and unlike any other spa. This location has not only massage and Reiki, but sensory deprivation and floating tanks if you’re really looking to unwind of your own accord. A unique perk of the spa is it’s array of massage choices — from traditional Shiatsu to a Hawaiian technique known as Lomi Lomi (which is Hawaiian for “rub rub”) and incorporates a variety of oils and hand movements to achieve a deep form of release."

"One of my wicked awesome clients gave me gift certificate to the Austin Zero Gravity Institute for a 1 hour float. This place was pretty wild. You go into a 7×10 room with a tub of water loaded with 12,000 lbs of epsom salt."

"Paying homage to the city and the Heritage Society, the 1886 Café and Bakery is reminiscent of the lunchroom that was founded and staffed by the Heritage Society for over 20 years back in 1886. The 1886 Café and Bakery, which was opened on July 4, 2002, is located in the busy corner of Sixth and Bravos streets within The Driskill hotel. Today, the café is a busy gathering place for locals and out of town visitors alike, thanks to the mouthwatering Texan comfort food and breakfast classics on menu."

"Even if you don’t stay here you can marvel at the architecture and the creepy vibe, and get a confection at the 1886 Café & Bakery. Cross over Lady Bird Lake and keep going until you arrive at the city’s most popular strip, South Congress Avenue, which is lined with funky shops, trendy boutiques, and restaurants. If you get hungry, order a margarita with shrimp fajitas at popular Güero’s Taco Bar. Check out the oddity shop Uncommon Objects and marvel at the $3,000 cowgirl boots at Allens Boots."

"To start, 1886 Café & Bakery serves great sandwiches and casual American fare, and their grilled cheese panini is second to none. But their desserts – rich, complex concoctions with mood-altering properties – cause folks to swoon. To try: chocolate mousse cake (with bittersweet chocolate-caramel mousse over a layer of moist devil's food cake) and lemon chiffon cake (with layers of blueberry compote and rosemary-scented lemon cream)."

"North Italia’s downtown location is Walking distance from the new Austin Public Library!. North has wonderful outdoor seating and is so fun for people watching. After you sit down, ask your server for Etch A sketches for the kids, which is sure to keep them busy until their food arrives."

"Billed as a love letter to Italy, North Italia is about indulging in amazing food and savoring every last bite. North Italia encourages sharing and appreciating the touch and feel ..."

"A famed Austin hangout, this old-fashioned diner is one of the oldest burger spots in Austin. Choose from a variety of classic American cheap eats, most of which are under $10. Enjoy the retro ambiance and delicious flavors at this restaurant."
