Great food! You should try the kombucha here, it was really well balanced. The grilled tofu was top notch as well. The portions were huge enough for two meals for me, so I think the price point was fair. I highly recommend coming here.
Excellent place for vegetarians and vegans. Creative menu, great and simple ambiance, nice food and drink with wifi. We tried multiple burgers here, tofu dishes, and salads and liked all of them. I liked the salad and burgers more. Highly recommend it.
Lovely Vegan restaurant in Austin!, great food and nice vibe!, there is not to many vegan places like this in the city, most are too informal or casual… this one is not only so cool and cozy but delicious!!!, a lot of variety of tasty options in the menu!!!
Also they have a lot of GF options too!
Tried this place out after it was highly recommended by a customer of mine. I don't live in Austin, but this place will be on my list from now on every time I am in town. It was that good! I had the Chorizo Omelet and the GF pancakes, and they were both amazing!! I can't wait to visit again.
Was a bit disappointing as compared to most other all vegan restaurants we try out when traveling. None of us are vegan, but i have been a strict vegetarian for over 30 years fyi/tbh.
The best dishes were the apps- pesto beets & hen of the woods with espresso bbq sauce.
The Taco salad was meh. The breakfast sandwich won points for the egg substitute being grilled hence smokey flavor but not great. The tofu sandwich was ruined by putting pesto on white bread (said focaccia on menu) which made it almost immediately soggy. The curry veg burger was ruined by there being very little flavor and it being very greasy/fried!
The cookie to go was chewy but not dry.
So thankful to have found this place! Unbelievably tasty burger, perfectly made french fries, and the homemade ketchup is probably the best ketchup I've ever had in my life. Thank you Thomas for being our server. We'll be back!
First time trying Citizen in Austin! We were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere and vibe. Totally hipster vibe. We had the Flapjacks, side of citizens fries, scrambled eggs, burger and mango mimosas. The portions were kind of small, but it was definitely fulfilling. Everything tasted great!
Truly amazing staff, FOOD, and COFFEE! Great place for breakfast (all day) and lunch / dinner. Vibes are always high there.
Good Vegan Spot, breakfast lunch and dinner. Cool vibe, both relaxed and fun. If there's too long a wait at Piknik, this is a great backup. Bigger menu, lots of options, burger was good, breakfast sandwich was pretty good. The non meat meats were OK, the burger more than the breakfast. Full disclosure I'm not vegan, just going along with my dining partner. Coffee was good too, probably should have looked into a Latte type option. Would recommend to GF, DF, or Vegan eaters. Plenty of parking, even a small patio. Service was just OK, got the orders right but not all the extras, at least not on the first try. Sounds like a good Happy Hour, we were there for late breakfast/early lunch. Thanks Citizen!
I’d heard about this place but never came but I was in the area and came in by myself and had a wonderful experience! Great, fast service, food was SO GOOD and sat next to a super nice lady and we became fast friends - good vibes all around
Citizen Eatery
100% plant-based dining and full bar in Austin, TX!
Food****
We got the Citizen scramble with tofu, cheddar cheese, crimini mushrooms, potatoes, sweet onions, and kale $13.5 and the Citizen Power Bowl with quinoa, avocados, kale, red peppers, grape tomato and citrus vinaigrette with tofu $14. The Citizen scramble was definitely tastier due to salt content but the power bowl was definitely healthier. We recommend both as they are still very healthy items on the menu.
Atmosphere****
the atmosphere was very charming and comfortable. Seating was evenly spaced so you’re not on top of each other. There is parking and it’s wheelchair accessible.
Service****
Very friendly service and quick too. The waiter was prompt and came to our table many times.
Price $$
$ = under $10 a dish, $$ = under $15 a dish, $$$ = under 20 a dish, $$$$ = over $20 a dish
This was my first time at Citizen Eatery, although I've seen it on many Austin recommended lists.
And now I know why. Great menu selection, friendly staff and delicious food. We chose to order a variety of starters which gave us more than enough food to take home
Can't wait to come back and try one of their sandwiches.
This restaurant was phenomenal as the atmosphere was great, food came out quickly and tasted amazing and the service was extremely quick and inviting. The season lavender cinnamon kombucha was some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Highly recommend this spot to my fellow vegans!
Nice modern, clean place. Was super comfortable eating brunch there. The food was amazing. I had the potatoes and faux-sausage gravy and added some just egg. My girl had just the egg scramble and the brussels sprouts she said with the best. You definitely want to come eat here. The server, Charlotte was real nice and helpful with our order as well. We love it when we get great food and service in a nice place!
First time trying at this restaurant. It is a vegetarian restaurant and you can try anything on the menu! 😙🙂
There are many things to try but I got to have a bbq sandwich! Unique tartness attracts my appetite but personally I liked the tofu sandwich the most. My friends ordered Citizen burgers and imposter burgers and I got to try but I still liked the tofu one the most!
If you are around and thinking about vegetarian options, this could be yours.
Come check it out.
Cheers 🥂
I enjoyed my experience dining here. The restaurant was busy and the food came quick. Ordered the breakfast sandwich, potatoes, and pancakes. Yum! The pancakes are delicious.
I absolutely enjoyed this spot! I ordered the Citizen Scramble and subbed the toast for a pancake because I needed something a lil sweet for breakfast, and I was not disappointed. The cheese sauce they put on the Just eggs scramble was delicious and had a lil kick. The pancake was simple yet delicious and dusted with cinnamon. My cousin ordered the Migas dish and is not a vegan, but absolutely enjoyed her meal. I highly recommend this spot, the prices were pretty average and breakfast was just around $20 with tip and my hot coffee.
Pink Bunny, oh pink bunny, how I love to pink bunny you. Well that was off topic, anyhow! For Monday night this place was doing pretty well very clean, very well put together, not trying to be more than it's not. Its just right. The menu is quite refined, I really enjoyed all of the options there's healthy, not as healthy, and a little in between. We just stopped in for a quick snack and a cocktail, they wouldn't let us sit at the bar because of staffing issues but the waitstaff was absolutely phenomenal. It's almost like they were the one's cooking the food, serving the food, and making the drinks. Hands down really great service, really pleasant atmosphere, great location off a Burnet road. Cocktails, definitely order the spicy mesqual Margarita The Diablo Rota, oh my gosh it's delicious, but be careful not to put your lips on the Habeniro floating in your glass. The salted rim with the smoky flavors and little bit of Orange are absolutely wonderful. The greenlight cocktail that tastes like fresh squeezed Juices and cucumber with some herbal essence of tea infused vodka is absolutely delicious very refreshing. And you have to order the mixed basket with yuca chips, potato fries, and curls of zucchini, all with a delicious dippin sauce...really enjoyed. You know life is just too short to not take a moment to sit next to the person you love put your arm around her kiss her forehead tell her how special she is and how much you love her. It's the best feeling in the world to have that person on your arm smiling, staring at each other aimlessly, holding hands, this is a really great place to do that. I'm pretty sure we are sitting on a church pew. 😉
Honestly, I would go here for the cauliflower and garlic aioli alone. One of the best prepared cauliflower dishes I’ve ever had… YUM.
Their pesto is divine. Highly recommend the pasta and the Tofu sandwich.
The atmosphere here is relaxed and doesn’t feel rushed. The indoor seating is spacious and you can easily hang out here with friends for a few hours. Highly recommend for vegans!
P.s. I eat here all the time so I’ll keep adding new photos over time. :)
