Ross' Old Austin Cafe

We love this place. We chatted with Luisa on the outdoor patio on our last visit. She is wonderfully personable and the food is amazing! There is a little stage on the patio for outdoors concerts. I wish I'd taken a picture of my chicken fried steak. It was REALLY good! Very good food, great local Austin vibe.

The service was great my waitress was very friendly. Biscuits and gravy was good only needed a touch of salt. The breakfast taco was awesome. I didn't see that they had menudo when I walked in and I was offered a free sample. I didn't get any fixings with it but I was not disappointed. It was very flavorful and a little spicy just how I like be it. The meat in it was cut into small chunks like i prefer. Would definitely visit again. Also they have a lot of hot sauces to choose from. Also they had pozole.

Luisas Patio has great ambient! Dog and family friendly! You have to try their new menu is authentic Mexican home made dishes! They also have live music during the weekends and the owners are young and cool, very friendly staff! I can't wait to see all the changes they will be bringing to their interior! A must eat spot!

The food was good but it was a little more expensive than i thought. The shrimp was good. The baked potato was a little small. The bowls for the salad bar are a little small as well so you don't really get to fill up on the salad bar. It's too bad because they have so many options on the salad bar but because you get such a small bowl, you can't really try all of them.

I came to Ross' for the first time today at lunch. I have driven by here before for years and seen multiple cars here in the morning for breakfast. On occasion I have seen multiple cop cars here eating. My general rule is if cops are congregating at a restaurant for food it must be decent. Today I had the chicken fried steak, today's special. I was told it is what they are known for. It did not disappoint! It wasnt overly huge to where I felt miserable. It was just right. The green beans were flavorful. And th mash potatoes had the texture of homemade mashed potatoes. The food was great. I will be back and most likely become a regular. I recommend this place for lunch.
