Messhall Cafe 1019 Brazos Street, Austin, TX 78701

"Only complaint is not homemade tortillas for the tacos. But the food that went in them was great. And green chile was good"

"Delicious breakfast food at a very reasonable price. Great hot sauces too. Quick service. A hidden gem for sure!"

"This is a cafeteria in the downstairs of the state office building. No sign outside, just says "OPEN". However, it is open to the public and the food is really good. I have eaten here for years. There are daily specials, usually an entree, 2 vegetables/sides, and a bread. They also have burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. You can eat in 78701 downtown Austin for less than $10... and this is one of the few places you can do that."

"Knew nothing about the Messhall when I wondered in while in Austin for a conference and fell in love with the place. Went 3 mornings in a row. All local patrons, great staff. A hole-on-the-wall place but the food is GREAT. Breakfast that was $18 at the hotel was $4 here and far superior!"

"I eat here several times a week because of the location, but it is worth the trip from anywhere in Austin. It is the BEST hot plate lunch in town and the black-eyed peas must be sent directly from Heaven!!! Great staff, too!"
