1852 on Austin

Went for brunch and the food was amazing! We had chicken and waffles & crème brûlée French toast. Also, my wife said the Bloody Mary was the best she’s ever had. Everyone was very friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

My visit here was the Farewell visit! We went on a Friday night and a Sunday morning for brunch. Sadly the owner passed and the restaurant was closing in a few days! Well my short lived visits here were outstanding, I hated it took us so long to visit being that we've lived in the area almost 4 years, but I enjoyed everything I ate and drank at this place so please pray for this establishment, we want to see the doors back open here soon because it was truly a hidden gem right here in the heart of Jefferson TX!

We chose Sunday brunch at 1852 on Austin after hearing rave reviews, and it mostly lived up to the praise. Arriving around noon, we were seated right away and instantly charmed by the antique, nostalgic vibe, enhanced by a fantastic live country singer. The host was warm and welcoming, though our waitress was just average—lacking the personal touch we’d hoped for. The coffee was solid.

Which would be fine, it’s a busy weekend with a technical error, I get it. Except, during that 15 minutes we noticed at least one other table who had been their longer than us still waiting for a server, heard and argument among management and staff where someone loudly said “they will just have to wait”, and the general atmosphere was stressful. We opted t

This was a lovely place! I got a burger and my wife ordered the korean chicken sandwich. Not to mention the BEST sweet potato fries!! We both thoroughly enjoyed the food and the environment. Wait staff wasn't the most attentive but I believe there wasn't many there, I still greatly appreciate that they were trying their best to attend multiple tables on their own. We'll definitely be returning again!!
