The brined fried chicken is some of the best tasting fried chicken I’ve had in Austin. Also, sweet place to grab a coffee or beer and work remotely. Great place!
First visit today. Their pastrami is spectacular, brined to perfection. Service is equally spectacular. Give me great food combined with great service and I’m a customer for life. Easily 5 stars.
What a great place! Nice space. Good food. And drink some fine cocktails! Or if you are the designated driver — get hipped up on some great java!
I NEVER do this but the hubs and I stumbled upon this place after a run via google this morning and it instantly earned a place on my top 5 faves for breakfast in Austin! Amazing breakfast sandwiches and the cauliflower tots with BEET KETCHUP were delicious. �

So good that we are back the next day. The granola bowl (which isn’t something I’d typically order) was scrumptious. And the breakfast sandwich is a yummy interpretation of a classic.
Cool place with top notch staff! The biscuits were amazing, and that chicken fried steak made me cry..
Great place! The staff was wonderful, the food amazing, and Bloody Marys were off the hook!
Fantastic cappuccino per usual and killing it with that breakfast sandwich! Soft and fluffy english muffin, crispy hash browns, chunky smashed avocado, a perfect sunny side up egg, and that spicy aioli...so delish!!
I am in love with their biscuits! It isn’t easy finding a good biscuit in Austin and they deliver. I haven’t tried all of their breakfast items yet but the granola
is also really good. Healthy and delicious!
Great food all day. Coffee, cocktails & craft beer when you need it. Cool space. A welcome addition to the hood.
What a great place. Our first time there and it was wonderful. Coffee was great. Tea was great. Atmosphere spectualr.
Just stopped by Better Half for breakfast and a cappuccino. Great food and coffee! I love the vibes and the people :)
Biscuits, hush puppies and chicken fried steak with great coffee, beer and cocktails? Incredible!
This place doesn't exist yet, but it gets an A+ for effort.
It's real, and it's spectacular!
I guess other bars can just close now...
I love the coffee here! I’ll definitely be coming back and trying more items on the menu.
Place looks and feels great! Burger was money and great margs for National Margarita Day didn’t hurt.
Small menu, limited seating inside, huge outdoor seating area and limited parking. Had the chicken burger and it was really good. Supple bun and flavorful. Wife had the Harvest Salad and loved it.
Excellent hangout spot with a great patio and food. They share the outdoor picnic benches with Holdout brewery, so there’re plenty of beers, wines, cocktails to choose from. They also have a good menu of some staples like burgers and chicken sandwiches. Atmosphere alone is worth a visit on a cool fall night.
Great local coffee shop / bar / restaurant.
I adored the iced Americano (a lot of places get the ratio of water to coffee to cream wrong - they NAILED it).
I also loved the cauliflower tots. I am not a cauliflower fan. I think it is normally overly and miss used. This was sooo tasty. The beet “ketchup” is both tasty to the palate and eyes ( I wish they served it so you could really see the color, the blue ramekin hides the stunning color).
Plenty of parking and seating outside. Small amount of seating inside. They even have a cowboy pool out front if you need to cool off.
Great neighborhood spot. Would totally go again.
Come for the Happy Hour special for the delicious burger, what a deal.
We stopped in for a friend's birthday celebration, cocktails only. But not our first time and definitely not our last. The staff is always great, the drinks are creative and delicious, and the food is really good.
They have frozen drinks, hand made cocktails and stellar bartenders.
Come out and enjoy with your friends and loved ones.

I finally got the chance to try the Better Half Coffee & Cocktails where the parking lot in front is always packed when I drive by. It was lunchtime during the week and still a lot of customers here. Their menu is not huge but fined tuned where heard the food was very good. I ordered the Better Half Chicken Burger where the menu stated it was house ground chicken, Duke’s Many, Swiss cheese, and LTO. I also ordered a side of fries. There were other items I really wanted to try but will save them for my next visit. There was some seating inside where you had booth and bar top, but most was outside under oak trees. Being so hot outside I found a spot inside on a bar top.
The service was excellent and soon my chicken burger arrived. It looked delicious and tasty. I took a bite and the chicken was so juicy and had great flavor. I enjoyed it where the seasonings were not too strong. The fries were also good.
Afterwards I explore the grounds and found lots of picnic table seatings outside, a cowboy pool, and a beer brewery called the Hold Out … which gave a big reason to return. The place had a cool atmosphere and if you can find parking in from then drive behind it and will find a much larger parking lot.
I was visiting town and book people recommended this place! So glad I listened. I got the lavender matcha latte and it was the perfect sweetness and taste to the matcha. The service was good! She made suggestions on drink and even asked what kind of milk I'd like, which is great and reminded me to always get almond milk. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious! I ate the hash brown on the side because the sandwich was big! I got sausage and sunny side up eggs. You can get eggs however you like. The place was nice and it had outdoor dining. Busy during lunch hours and noice level was 3/5.
I finally got the chance to try out this place. Parking can be a bit of a hassle even though they have free parking lot. This place can get very busy but the atmosphere, service, drinks and food all make up for it.
I was very impressed with with all the drinks I tried. The food was always good quality and flavorful. If I lived near downtown this would have been my goto spot to chill with friends.
We discovered this place on a Sunday afternoon and fell in love with their ambiance on the outdoor patio!!
The restaurant is right next to Hold Out Brewey and very close to the river. It’s early spring now so chilling on their outdoor space with some drinks is the most ideal way to spend your Sunday!
Staff are super friendly and helpful with giving advice on their drinks menu. I love my cocktail and my friend ordered match latte which looks super cute as well. Will come back with other folks to try their food :)
Plenty of table space, bathroom was clean, pastries looked delightful, bread for all sandwiches was clearly made fresh.
Steak sandwich was delightful, focaccia was CRAVE-ABLE.
This place was great. Came here for brunch and didn’t want just basic bland pancakes and eggs which certain places (I won’t name) on S Lamar have but for some reason have very high reviews. This place has food that tastes great, great coffee, and nice staff. Ample parking is a plus too.
Excellent coffee, great outdoor seating and lots of it! I loved the Bunuelos. If you're a chocolate, cinnamon and orange flavor lover, you'll really like it. Dogs welcome too
Breakast is our favorite with top picks being the blue corn blueberry pancakes and the breakfast sandwich. Unfortunately, the pancakes are only offered on weekends. I prefer the yoke of the egg on the sandwich not so runny, and a bigger muffin would be nice. For me, the potato patty is unnecessary. Having said that, I still rate the sandwich a solid 8/10. When we arrived around ten on Saturday, the indoor seating was all taken, but plenty was available in the tents. But, a half-hour later, the tents were filling up. Forced air heat ducts kept the tents warm. Lots of parking is available in the rear dirt lot. Some kind of vintage clothing market was taking place in the front parking lot when we were there.
Better half is such a vibe! We went for late lunch/happy hour. The sangria was so good! (Pictured). I had the spicy chicken sandwich and my friends had the big summer salad. I didn’t love the zucchini noodles in my sandwich, would probably skip next time. My friends didn’t love the dressing on the salads. I think next time we would share a few appetizers because the drinks were the main star of the show.
Good spot for brunch/lunch... lots of outdoor seating. You order via your phone (QR code connected to your table). The burger was tasty on a toasted bun, the fries were decent... a lot like McDonald's, but better. Blueberry pancakes and breakfast sandwiches were ordered and enjoyed by our group.
Small free parking lot.
I’ve now been a couple times. This is still by far I'll one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in Austin. Each ingredient compliments each other. The English muffin and crispy hash brown were perfection! The espresso was great. Tons of seating outside and options inside. The Wi-Fi is very spotty outside. Staff were friendly. Food came out quickly even though they were busy but drinks seem to take a while. Order at the counter, take your seat, and it will be brought to you. The ham and cheese pastry was a good compliment to a cup of coffee. The cauliflower tots with beet ketchup are a very tasty vegetarian option. The chicken biscuit spicy is great for breakfast or lunch.
This place offers food, cocktails, beer and coffee. The cappuccino has always been consistent and very good, I go quite often for that. The food has not impressed me much but it's alright. The pastries change and they're pretty yummy. The location is great and they have outdoor seating too. Although the parking lot in the front is small and fills up quickly, there's another one in the back. Service has been pretty good, not always super friendly but decent.
I'm so happy to have FINALLY eaten the cauliflower tots and burger at better half 🥹 the last time I went was for a quick happy hour with some coworkers after cyclebar, and I already had plans to eat with my friends so I sat there and just smelled how amazing everything was. This time, I finally got to have it myself. 🙌 the tots...I know they may seem intimidating, but they're LEGIT. Give it a try, it's amazing!
