    Drinks and food were solid but got seated 30 min after reservation time. When we did get seated there was confusion on where we were sitting. Overall it was okay.

    I gave the service 4 stars instead of 5 because I asked 2 or 3 times for more cream for my coffee and never received it, but overall everything else was wonderful. The food tasted terrific, and came quickly. It is very decently priced for brunch/breakfast in Austin. Parking wasn’t difficult either. I will definitely be back.

    First time dining at S&C this past weekend, we enjoyed it quite a bit. Loved the deviled eggs and the meatloaf sliders for the appetizers. Chicken fried steak was decent, but expensive for what it was IMO. Everything was very tasty, and the service was great.

    Daniel R and Jake made us feel very welcome. The service was outstanding. Everyone who waited on us was smiling and seemed to really like what they were doing. The breakfast menu had many desirable options. The Best Bloody Mary was appropriately named. Tons of flavor, great consistency, truly The Best Bloody Mary. Nola French toast and breakfast tacos were delicious, too. High quality, tasty food at reasonable prices. If you are looking for an awesome place to eat in Austin, Sawyers & Co should be your #1 choice. Ask for Jake and he can tell you about all the other restaurants they operate like De nada next door with the best Margaritas in Austin (where you have to try the Pineapple Mezcal margarita), Poeta, Entera (Italian) or Lil Easy (Cajun). All places we will visit when visiting Austin. Thanks Daniel R and Jake for a great visit.

    The food was delicious but one of our party had to wait 30 minutes for his meal that he ordered at the same time as the rest of us. Portions are a little small for the price. We were at a table that was by the door to the outdoor area and the washroom/kitchen which had people constantly filtering through. All of us were constantly having people press by us and it was a little much. We were there during peak time so it may be more enjoyable to go when it is not so busy and having any other table other than the one we had.
