4. Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden

Location(s):
81 Rainey Street, Austin

Rainey Street is one of the best spots in Austin for Sunday Funday, and Banger’s brunch is definitely one of the highlights! With live music and a large beer garden that’s dog friendly, it’s the perfect place to hang out with friends, both two and four-legged. Of course they’re known for their sausage, but Banger’s also has some of the best Fried Chicken and Waffles, and their Freedom Toast and Banger’s Benny are both delicious! Of course this is Rainey Street, so we can’t forget the drinks! Not only does Banger’s have the largest beer tap wall in Austin, but on Sundays they feature their ‘Manmosa’ – a pitcher full of a whole bottle of champagne and just a splash of orange juice! Their brunch is available from 10AM – 4PM, which is later than most brunch places in the area, so if you like to sleep in on the weekends this is the place for you!

3. Lamberts

Location(s):
401 West 2nd Street, Austin

For BBQ lovers, Lamberts is the perfect spot for Sunday brunch. Open from 11:00AM – 2PM, Lambert’s gives you the option of keeping it classic with their all you can eat Family Style Barbecue for $25 per person, or ordering off of their a la carte menu for more traditional brunch items like french toast, omelettes, and eggs benedict. Their Breakfast Frito Pie is probably the most popular item on the menu though, with chopped beef, queso, chevre, pico, and a poached egg! They may be one of the pricier places in town, but they do have $3 mimosas! Plus, the food is absolutely delicious and worth every penny. If you’re going for the buffet you’re definitely going to want to wear a loose pair of pants!

2. Snooze

Location(s):
3800 N Lamar Boulevard #120, Austin
1700 S Lamar Boulevard, Austin

Snooze, a relative newcomer to the Austin breakfast and brunch scene, has something for every taste. They have classic dishes featuring some of your favorites – bacon, eggs, sausage, and hash – along with breakfast tacos and burritos, six different variations on the traditional Eggs Benedict, and tasty sandwiches. But the most decadent and delicious items, their pancakes and french toast, are really what it’s all about. Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes, Sweet Potato Pancakes, Blueberry Danish Pancakes – you name it, they make it! They also have a “light as a feather” section on the menu if you’d rather not eat all of your calories in one meal. And of course, their morning cocktails menu will not disappoint! They’re open from 6:30AM – 2:30PM everyday, so this is the perfect place for both early risers who actually eat breakfast and the snoozers who love an afternoon brunch.
