Yum yum big portions and a chill atmosphere ✌️i got eggs florentine.... very good

Cool little venue with fast/great service, reasonable prices and tasty food.

Excellent no frills hearty breakfast spot just north of Campus!

No complaints. Good pricing, portions, quality and service :)

Very nostalgia wonderfully atmosphere and young waiters and waitresses who are working hard for there own college, I would recomend tipping them up and over the usual rate they would appreciate all the help financially that they could get. The owner is a nice fellow and aiming to please his customers, Good Job Red River Cafe, keeping Austin wierd with the 2 large Eggs on the front of the building

Online said it was open caught an Uber to red river cafe and sign on the door said It was closed

I forgot all about this tucked away cafe. Im glad I rediscovered it while on a detour.

A great little diner in a sadly out-of-the way location. They have great tomato soup (about $3), and a breakfast taco thing that is enormous for $4. Their grilled chicken sandwich is also quite good. Looking back, Id say everything Ive ever had here was good. Maybe the food isnt something I actively crave and find myself drawn to, but this place is definitely a great little place to go for some delicious lunch and incredible value.Best part of it being out of the way is you can reliably find parking!

Had a great avocado and Turkey club. Great prices, fast, and enjoyable. Will add to my regular Austin haunts.

This place stands out of time. It is a hole in the wall to Austin as it once was, before the exponential population rise. An inexpensive time capsule with inordinately friendly staff and service. Sit at the counter and find aid in believing that life is a little simpler than you thought. But dont walk in expecting gourmet food and white tie service, that aint what this place is here for.

The tall, cute, and sassy young man who served me today was such a treat! Even sweeter than the syrup on my pancakes ;)Food comes fast and fresh. I come here once a weekend for the hospitality and great prices. Cant recommend it enough!

This place hasnt changed a bit. I even think the menu prices are unchanged. What a great deal for such nice food. Understand this is a college kid eatery...nothing fancy...but good. Eggs Benedict just the way I remember them.

This cafe was a nice retreat in the busy city. As typical in Austin, there wasnt a lot of parking, but they do have a lot of their own behind the building which is pretty rare and there were a few spots open on the Sunday morning we visited. The food was delicious- I had (and highly recommend) the french toast. My husband had it with fruit, I chose the eggs and bacon. I will say the service wasnt the best as my husband had to request coffee refills instead of the waiter coming around. The staff werent rude or anything, just not super attentive.

I’ve been looking for a breakfast restaurant like this since I moved here. Amazing food without the hype (and long wait times) of other places in town. The food and coffee are delicious, and the staff is very friendly! It’s at the top of my list for a reasonably priced and satisfying breakfast in Austin!

Typical diner fare in a diner atmosphere. This place was quick, and relatively inexpensive. Service was a bit quirky and odd. I wouldnt rush back, but I wouldnt avoid it for breakfast or lunch.

Im definitely biased on smaller, classic looking cafes and this places aesthetic hooked me. The food was great (I had the Montreal Hollendaise) and the coffee was the perfect standard diner fare. Plus, it seemed a bit cheaper than some other larger chain options. Highly recommend.

Ate lunch here with family and all agree, 5 out of 5. Price was very reasonable too. Noteworthy was the Tilapia fish sandwich, cheesy tomato soup, BLT, avocado turkey club, and the red river burger. A must try place.

Have been going here regularly since I was a student. They have the best breakfast food for reasonable price, especially around UT campus. I come here every weekend now for their great Eggs Benedict. The wait is never that long, even when they look packed. Sometimes they do run out of parking spaces though.

My wife and I arrived about 5pm. There were 4 other people already at the establishment. We sat ourselves and waited... And waited... And waited. The waiter passed us 3 times and completely ignored us not even making eye contact. We were never greeted and when the next couple came in, they were quickly seated and given menus. 12 minutes had passed before my wife and I walked out. Even as we left we there were no goodbyes. Legit, just completely ignored the whole time.

Salad is greens a couple of carrots slices and a (1) little baby tomato. The hamburger steak had raw meat and no gravy. Baked potato had no butter.

I worked here about 6 years ago when I lived in Austin and it was a great gig. The food here is no frills good and cheap. Its also a great slice of old school Austin. Highly recommend for those who want to go where the locals go or for touring artists and musicians.

This is a cool little lunch spot that serves all day breakfast. I got a grilled cheese with bacon and it was really good. My only thing is I didnt get a refill.

This place brings back good college memories. Relaxed diner atmosphere. Nothing fancy, but affordable and delicious none the less.

Red River Cafe has great food and for decent prices! I got the eggs Benedict and it was delicious. The atmosphere was very homey, and my friend and I were really happy with our dining experience there.

Surprisingly good food for a crazy cheap price! I dont think many people visit it as much as the chain breakfast places like Kerbey Lane, which meant no wait time to be seated!

Great prices and good diner vibe. Food is pretty good and the service is fast. We had their blueberry French toast and eggs Florentine and would probably try them again.

Healthy food, fast, and delicious! Rahim who is the owner cares about his costumers dearly and makes sure that only good food leaves the kitchen. The new design for the cafe is very nice and a great place to go relax. The prices are great and the proportion of the food is good. I highly recommend Red River Cafe a great place to go to if youre a UT student which Im not yet though but The Cafe truly has a lot of great things on the menu. The best part is that breakfast is served all day and that I get to create my own hamburger like you do with a sandwich in Subway.

It was good. Friends daughter at UT likes it, so we had breakfast. Its like a dive diner.

Good lunch here today: awesome all day breakfast menu, cool brunch menu on weekends. Chill, Homey atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!

I had high hopes for this place because it’s so conveniently located but it was less than satisfactory. I ordered eggs Benedict and they were instead over easy and the hashbrowns were pretty charred and hard to eat. The service was pretty slow and we it was unclear who our server was since we had 3 different servers over an hour time span.

Very friendly, warm environment. Super coffee with lots of choices. Custom made for your tastes. Unusual, quirky. Great place for afternoon study with your laptop.

Really cute cafe! Nice servers and a very comfortable atmosphere. The breakfast tacos were very good with the salsa!!!

Such a great little cafe. It’s hard to find a small, low key place for breakfast or brunch in Austin with all the bougie cafes popping up (delicious, but expensive). Red River has amazing food and normal, non-ridiculous prices.

Great place to meet up with family and friends. Also great for studying and reading. Free wifi and relaxed atmosphere with a delicious menu including many healthy choices. The patio is very nice and is dog friendly!

Cheap meals for hungry college students. The food is pretty tasty as well. I almost always get their breakfast tacos (theyre huge!).

Breakfast was great. Fast, friendly service

The pie isnt the best, but the food is pretty good

Great little neighborhood place. Good food, amazing selection, breakfast all day long and the service is fast. One of Austins weirdest parking lots, you can avoid it by parking on the side street.

Food was great. Place is pretty beat up but we didnt mind. Everyone who works here is definitely a college student, but veong so close to campus thats hardly a surprise.

I love this place. I probably went at least 2x a month when I was a student at UT Austin, and I think its managed to maintain its quiet charm in the post-brunch-craze era. I get a coffee and migas (with beans), with a side of fruit almost every time I go. For a no-frills place for breakfast with fun and weird staff, go here!

Adorable little place, nice urban patio. Very nice wait staff. But decidely mediocre food. Hash browns were bland, probably frozen. Toast was grocery store quality, eggs were also bland, even with tomatoes and mushrooms. A few herbs and seasonings were definitely needed. My companions pita sandwich was likewise lacking any seasoning. Cheap prices help, but not enough.

We went to eat here while we visiting a relative at the nearby St. David hospital. The food was delicious. I had a vegetarian club, my mom had a grilled cheese with avocado, my brother-in-law had a verse burger and my dad had a a sandwich with some sort of dip. Everything tasted great.

The food here is nasty and unseasoned. I order steak, eggs with a side of harsh browns and toast. The steak was chopped steak, it tasted like a hamburger, it was very dry and it had no flavor. On the menu it did not mention it was chopped steak which is false advertisement. Also I asked for scramble eggs, but my eggs were over easy. The hash browns were unseasoned. Dont waste your time or money on coming to this place.

Quaint little cafe. Very traditional

FREEZING! The air and the food. Everyone in here has their coats on except the staff. My food was so cold I had to warm it up in my hands. I had a sandwich but it was practically frozen. The fries were the hottest thing other than the waiters. I hate giving bad reviews but I feel like Im eating outside and its 35 degrees out there at the moment. My boyfriend did like his cobb salad but agreed the temperature was too cold in the dining room.

Very disappointed in our experience here. Both waiters we had made us feel very uncomfortable to be there, to the point we talked about leaving before we even ordered our food. Lack of customer service is unacceptable in my opinion. To top it off, the food was low quality and lacking flavor.

Im going to miss this place when I leave UT. They have great good for cheap. There are a lot of healthy choices in the menu. the staff is also very nice. I definitely recommend it for a quick bite.

Great food. Great service. Cool spot with a classic diner feel.

Not good.. the chicken fried steak tasted like it was frozen. The food left a horrible test.. burgers were not good either. They only serve wheat bread. Gravy was bland.. will not go back. The only reason i gave the 2 stars is bc of the wait staff. Really loved them

A really cozy and nice diner type breakfast place :)

One of the best places in Austin, in my opinion! Cute, homey, and the staff are always friendly.

Great food, better prices, friendly staff.

It is basically like diner food. They have a variety of hot sauces to choose from. It is a nice quaint place. Sitting is basically: if you see an open seat you take it.

Ok, wow this place was so nice and refreshing, great service by our waiter brent! I believe that’s his name. He was very accomadating and kind to my dad and I. Pancake are the best pancakes I’ve ever had, will eat here again. Very homey and extremely great prices!

Simple, nothing fancy. Ok price. Quiet in midmorning. Not a bad place to meet and talk business with someone.

Delicious omelettes, excellent service, lots of choice, and cool Austin décor. It is small, though, and parking can be cramped, so plan ahead.

Nothing fancy but good food at reasonable price, in a casual setting.

Decent home cooked quality food. Mediocre vibe and service. Overpriced and not too fresh.

DO NOT DINE HERE THE OWNER IS RUDE AND THE FOOD IS FROZEN

Mediocre food at an expensive cost, Paid nearly 25$ for two forgettable sandwiches. The servers were friendly, but the food service was awfully slow. Would not recommend.

Honestly, it’s local, easy to get to, and great food for the price. Tastes better on weekends . Try the Migas with hash browns !

And absolutely underrated little cove! Good food, good portions and affordable to the student crowd.

Dont go here. Food shouldnt be servered here. It use it be a good place about 10 years ago.

Delicious food and quick service. Love this little cafe

Big fan of these love of breakfast joints, just what we all needed

Simple, pretty good food for the price, good service, fresh orange juice is a plus

Pancake was undercooked. Omelet was just ok. Coffee weak.

Get there early...its a small space. Food is always good.

Food was good, inexpensive. Staff was super friendly.

This place is intimate, affordable, and probably the last classic diner left in Austin.

Great brunch stop. Fantastic omelettes and pancakes!

Great service and great food. The shakes are amazing!

Great little cozy no frills spot for breakfast. Austin lacks in this genre, so Red River Cafe is a nice fix for cheap and yummy eats.

We love this place for breakfast. Good service. Quiet tables.

Im a big fan of this place. Low key with good food. Great for breakfast (pancakes and breakfast tacos).

This is the worst café I have ever been to. Very poor customer service!! The young guy who took our order looked at us like we were stupid when we asked questions regarding the menu. After they dropped off our food, no one stopped to check on us after that. Instead our waiter and another waitress were having a dance party behind the counter. Aside from poor customer service, the food had no flavor and was not cooked very well. I will not be going to the Red River Café again.

Great home style breakfast spot, super close to the UT music building. A great way to start the day.

Good food, nice mix everyone got what they wanted.

Good food, but kinda gross atmosphere and felt as if the ac was out.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Its not usually too busy and the menu is quite extensive.

This place was GREAT! Very cozy little diner and the food is good

Went for breakfast today and will come again. This place reminds me of a suburban version of waffle house. The migas was excellent, and one of the waitresses kinda looks like Gal Gadot!

Mom and pop diner hidden in the neighborhood. Not a bad lunch option.

Amazing prices, good size dishes, delicious food, local and so homie!

Comfort food as it always has been...great hreakfast

Good food. Could have AC up a little more since I was sweating a little while eating my food.

Hangover cure. And now they accept credit cards....This is a great little diner. Dont expect gourmet food, but count on a good breakfast.

Fast service, good food.

Great low key place for breakfast or lunch

Food was plain and had no taste. Owner was completely rude when we asked for a receipt. Do not eat here.

Great spot for breakfast. Best hash browns in Austin.

Overstuffed breakfast tacos, chill atmosphere, friendly service. Every neighborhood needs one of these.

When you need a home cooked breakfast or and early morning place to finish your paper, this is the spot!

Great coffee, good food, and nice patio. Feels a little cramped though.

Always good food and I love the patio.

Friendly staff & quaint atmosphere

The food is nothing remarkable. Service was ok. Not a place to visit again and not 4 stars as the overall reviews might indicate.

Ill give it three stars food alone the tables were black with dirty the restroom was stinking up the dining area and the staff just say there looking in our faces like we had Ebola mos definitely wont be frequenting the place but to those who want to test it out the good is reasonably priced and on point

Good food...friendly staff

Not bad for diner fare. Convenient location for UT.
