M I A in Austin???
I completely second the East Side Cafe. Lived down the road there in Hyde Park for a while, and they were a real standout whether we wanted breakfast, lunch or dinner. Tom's bang on target about calling ahead, too.
If you like eggs benedict, they won't disappoint - the eggs are cooked perfectly, and the hollandaise is rich, creamy and created from scratch. Herbs straight from their garden round out the fresh deliciousness. They also offer the variant with smoked salmon instead of ham, but I forget what they call it. I want to say eggs franciscan, but I'm not sure that's right. It's very good though, whatever it's called.
If you do end up having a bit of a wait for a table, go take a stroll around the garden and see what you're going to be eating in a little while!

Thanks for another great report, Scrumptiouschef!
As someone who's stranded in the tex-mex desert that is England, but hopes to move back to Austin soon, you guys are all giving me a very long list of places to hit on my return, as well as a good few hints about spots best passed over. Your toils on our behalf are appreciated!
