Austinites count on this artsy cafe for handy lunches of gourmet sandwiches, bountiful salads or homemade soup. Bet you'll agree that the zippy, cooling gazpacho is perfect on a hot Texas day. The venison burger, Italian ham on focaccia,… Read Full Editorial
What did I pay for? by Sam Gen via Citysearch on 5/18/2010
I just paid $15 for a sandwich with hardly anything meat and fries. I can't believe this. Very disappointed to say the least.
Strike 3 by foodiecoupleagain via Citysearch on 3/1/2009
My husband and i are done with giving this place a shot. The service is excellent if you are the "right people". It is very bad if you don't seem to personally know them. For example, the waitress put off taking our orders twice and then…
Don't get the fries by DKAustin via Citysearch on 12/18/2008
I had lunch here yesterday and had the turkey and swiss sandwich and french fries. I didn't have any problems with the sandwich, it was average but the french fries i got were so over seasoned with a nasty mix of salt and bbq flavoring,…
A gem by JS B via Insider Pages on 9/27/2008
I stumbled across this place back in 2000 or 2001 and was highly impressed with every aspect of it: food, service, atmosphere, price. It's located on a side street behind the busy Seton Hospital, but it's well-worth seeking out.
Sad Decline of a Previously Good Neighborhood Cafe by txgrl99 via Citysearch on 8/1/2008
We used to be regulars at 34th Street, but after 1 very bad experience and two mediocre ones, I won?t be going back. About six months ago we had a very average meal, as opposed to the excellent ones we?d enjoyed over the years. Nothing…
Always good! by lgbb via Citysearch on 7/19/2008
Easy, always great food and good service! Why fight downtown people, parking and overpriced food, when you can go to a locally owned restaurant with good food and nice people! The new night menu is FABULOUS! I am always surprised. We eat…
Crazy Bad by lauralsally via Citysearch on 9/5/2007
I would like to begin by saying I have never bothered taking the time to write a review of anything until now. Hopefully, I will be able to save others the absolutely misery of the meal I just experienced. Clearly those who wrote the rave…
Salty Food by keeyo via Citysearch on 6/27/2007
The food was really salty - by the time I left the restaurant, I was really full from the water. \r
I ordered the Chicken Piccatta & my boyfriend ordered the Petite Chairman's Reserve. \r
The presentation and the service was great (we…
34th Street Cafe by daniela b. via Judy's Book on 4/13/2007
This place has the best venison burger I have ever tried. Must try it at least once. It doesn't taste like game at all.
Best Lunch Stop in Town! by jesusc via Citysearch on 3/30/2007
Can't go wrong here. Great Central Austin place to meet friends for lunch. Try the Chinese Chicken Salad. Awesome!
My favorite best kept secret in Austin by eazypeazy via Citysearch on 1/3/2007
Don't be fooled by what some of the others have said. This restaurant is equal to the best in Austin. The chef Justin Raiford has a flair for food with great dishes. We eat there as often as we can. My wife loves the Chicken Picatta on…
Surprising by ivyvalentine via Citysearch on 1/2/2007
Long wait. YOU MUST MAKE RESERVATIONS. No joke 2.5 hr wait. Elegant but funky vibe, if you have reservations and can get a table. Hidden find because it is tiny.
Blink and you'll drive right past this little charmer, located behind Seton Medical Center. by Contributor via Citysearch on 7/14/2006
In Short
Built of concrete blocks, with a ceiling of steel beams and corrugated iron, the interior is made serene by colorfully painted walls, original art and white tablecloths. The crowd runs the gamut of ages, and is…
wonderful food by Whitney B. via Judy's Book on 4/2/2006
This is a great spot for dinner or for lunch. I particularly love their salads. The atmosphere is very relaxed. In fact, at lunch you seat yourself but at dinner they do have a hostess. There are constantly lunch or dinner specials so…
Too expensive for an ok dinner by bradyvan via Citysearch on 2/16/2006
First, the service is not fantastic by any means. The tables are way too clode together making the waitstaff bump you every time in order to sqeeze between your chair and the person behind you. The food was not nearly as impressive as it…
Interesting food by winetex via Citysearch on 2/10/2006
Their menu was a good one that didn't try to do too much. The portion size was good as were the prices. We came with a large party (this is a smaller place) and had fine service. The restaurant accomodates fine wine lovers (hint, hint).
Great new find by jlee1102 via Citysearch on 12/22/2005
I have been to this restaurant twice, once for dinner and for lunch, and I have been pleased both times. The food is splendid with rich textures and elegant flavors. Although the place is small, you should try this one out atleast once.…
Best New Find of the Year by julieelizabeth via Citysearch on 10/2/2005
My boyfriend and I were seated immediately on a Saturday night. The server was very knowledgeable about the wine list and encouraged us to sample three selections. She was very personable and, even though we were wearing jeans and…
Best Austin lunch spot! by Annie B. via Judy's Book on 9/24/2005
I love this place! The food is excellent, the prices are fair, and there's not a long wait (you order at the counter and seat your self). Everything I've ever ordered has been excellent, and the salads and sandwiches are especially…
34th st deliciousness by Ariel P. via Judy's Book on 8/21/2005
yum, yum! the 34th st cafe, located close to campus right off of lamar, is a delicious spot for lunch or dinner. local celebrities dine here all the time, so you know it must be good. they have all types of food on their menu, and lots…
