Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Paperboy offers an elevated breakfast experience with "fantastic" comfort food like the migas with pork carnitas, chicken and biscuits, and BEC sandwich. The "amazing" pop tarts and cinnamon toast are crowd favorites. Despite some service hiccups, the "wonderful" ambience and attentive staff make it a must-visit in Austin.

    This is my second time at paper boy and it definitely did not dissapoint! My girlfriend and I came for our anniversary brunch, and we enjoyed every minute of it. The food and ambience were great, the service was good and I’d say the overall experience was very great! I ordered the chicken and biscuit and my girlfriend ordered the b.e.c. The chicken was very crispy and well battered, and I love the spicy honey that is used. The gravy was a tad bit on the lukewarm side, but that’s just me nitpicking. My girlfriend really enjoyed her sandwich but I believe the first time we came it was in what looked like a croissant rather than a sesame seed bun. Her potato wedges very good and were VERY well seasoned. Nonetheless we both enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back soon!

    Paperboy makes breakfast “fancy” in a good way - comfort food dialed up to 10. Had the pancake full breakfast, chicken and biscuits, espresso martini and mimosa. W a side of cheese hashbrowns. All good and good service.

    Couldn't have been a better experience, and the migas with pork carnitas was delicious, recommend having it with no tortillas!

    This was my second time, and the food is delicious. So far. Have tried the chicken biscuit, lox, ricotta toast, Texas hash, and bec sandwich. Everything was amazing. The lox was one of my favorite lox dishes I’ve had, and I love lox. The bec and chicken biscuit were also amazing. I love how the biscuit are caramelized and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s honestly my ideal biscuit texture. I have made a reservation both times and was seated right away. I was on the roof deck both times. It was cold one day, but they had heaters and provided blankets, so I was comfortable. The bathrooms are super cute too. The one negative is that I feel like the servers on the roof weren’t very attentive, especially with my coffee. I ordered drip coffee and had to flag someone down and ask for refills when it was gone. I would have preferred that they keep an eye on that, especially on the cold day. They were also sold out of the pistachio chai roll both times, but I get that happens. I’ll just have to get there early one morning to get that. Overall, GREAT experience!
