Making the reservation was so easy and I’m glad I did! Very nice atmosphere and attentive staff. The beet salad is such a unique combination of flavors with the smoked yogurt. Overall delicious food and great dining experience outside on the patio. Great place to bring your guests from out of town for that Southern hospitality experience.

Pedro was the most amazing server! We had a great lunch experience. The smoked turkey club sandwich was amazing and so were the biscuits and gravy. Highly recommend! Margs were great too!

We had a fantastic time celebrating my husband's MBA graduation dinner at Jacoby's recently. Rachel C. was our waitress and she was phenomenal. The atmosphere outside was lovely -- although there really isn't a river view from where you eat, you have to go to the lookout area - but that was fine. You do have to valet park your vehicle, it was 6 but again, I didn't have a problem with that as most restaurants along this area of town require valet. The food was delicious, most especially the macaroni & cheese, the southwestern salad, chicken fried steak, and deviled eggs. I look forward to eating here again and trying the strawberry cake the next go around -- it looked AMAZING. Oh, they also have a fun gift shop in the front of the restaurant with jewelry, candles, etc. -- its a really cool place, definitely recommend.

Loved our early Mother’s Day brunch at Jacoby’s. The beautifully decorated outdoor patio with views of the river made for a lovely and inviting atmosphere. The housemade baked items were standouts on the menu. Our favorites were the scones and cinnamon roll. You must try them. We also really enjoyed the Mac n cheese and Bloody Mary (seasoned and garnished perfectly). Service was so friendly and attentive. I would love to come back for dinner. A lovely spot in Austin for brunch. Well done, Jacoby’s.

Everything was wonderful! Portions were more than enough! Oh my goodness, if you like meatloaf you must try the BBQ Meatloaf! And the Parmesan Gnocchi is delectable too. The stuffed yeast rolls are tasty but filling so you only need one. My family members really, really, really enjoyed their Chicken Fried Chicken and Chicken Fried Steak. One of us had steak and based on his plate I am pretty sure he enjoyed it immensely since there was nothing left on his plate. And speaking of plates, I loved the plates that the food was served on because they reminded me of the dinnerware that we would eat on at my Grandmother's house. The appetizer plates which were blue and white tins kind a gives a camping vibe. Loved the mason jars for water. We made reservations since there were 6 of us and we were seated in a nice area on the patio. If you happen to be fortunate to have Claire as your server you will be well taken care of. Oh one more thing, save room for dessert the strawberry cake is worth it.
