Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Toasty Badger is a charming spot with "fantastic breakfast," praised for its "delicious food" and "friendly service." Known for "gloriously fluffy plate-sized pancakes" and exceptional hash browns, it's an Austin favorite. Despite its cozy, sometimes loud atmosphere, the energetic diner vibe and "super friendly" staff make it a must-visit.

    Best breakfast & lunch in Austin! I especially love coming here for an early bird breakfast or to grab a quick mid work day lunch. Good options for vegetarians too! The staff is super friendly and helpful and the manager Carolyne is particularly fantastic, she always makes my day when I come in for a meal☺️

    Great service and breakfast. We brought a 2nd group of friends with us who hadn't been here before. They loved the food and character of the "diner". Great that Caroline got promoted!

    Tables were so close that they had to be moved in order for people to sit down. It was also extremely loud. The food is great.

    Amazing food! Great service. Very fast. Almost too fast. We sat outside. I appreciated the plastic tarps to block the cold wind. And they had gas fire heaters. Was nice. Screechy loud metal chairs were not super nice. Otherwise, we loved it.

    Disappointing to have made a reservation only to be put outside in 50 degree weather. My partner and I traveled from Minnesota and I did a lot of research of nice places to go for brunch. We love midcentury anything so this place would have been perfect for us, but I didn't even have the chance to see the inside. Really wish the reservation I made would have clarified that I would be outside., pretty misleading website The food was good, but I don't feel it was fair to have paid full price to not get the full experience. I could have eaten in 50 degree weather back at home.
