We had a nice lunch when some friends were in town. I loved my scallops. It was a small plate but plenty for lunch. This is a very popular restaurant. They do not take reservations, but you can call ahead and be put on their seating list. It is very popular.

We got here early so the wait was short. I had the blue cheese infused burger and it was great. My wife had the pulled pork, it was ok. Waitress very attentive and friendly. Recommend for lunch, didn't have the chance to try dinner.

If you go here, be sure to try the calamari. It was the best I have ever had. The pieces were thick and not rubbery at all--very fresh. A friend and I also split the crab cake and she had a salad. Everything was very good and very fresh. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Ate here twice during our long weekend trip to Austin. Sat at the bar to eat the first time and enjoyed delicious drinks and great food. Had our hotel call ahead for us for Sunday brunch and only waited about 15 minutes once we arrived. Warm goat cheese salad was amazing! Did not disappoint at all!

We are here at lunch on a very busy Saturday! I suggest you call ahead because it cuts your wait time " in half " when you get there. Actually we waited maybe 15 of a 30 minute wait. There were three of us, and each ordered something different. I had the crab cakes Benedict. Instead is eggs they use... More

They feature a distinctive menu that blends the exotic and the familiar. You can get wild boar, venison, and quail, as well as a great steak and creative fresh salads. At South Congress Cafe, you will have a meal you'll never forget.

We had a great meal here when visiting Austin. We came early before watching the bats at the Congress Street bridge. Since we were there early (6:30), we had no problem getting seated immediately - I believe it is much more difficult during peak hours. We had a great meal - I had quail and my husband had sea bass.... More

We had heard a bit about 'SoCo' but didn't know what to expect. Behind an unassuming facade there is a bright, nicely decorated restaurant. Our waiter, Christian, was helpful and knowledgable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would return again.

Went there twice for lunch / brunch. Interesting menu - grew food and service. Wonderful restaurant, not to be missed when visiting Austin. Great service.
