   We are regulars at Colleens, and tonight wasn't their best night. The biscuits were delightful as usual, but the chicken was really salty, the gravy blah, and the service spotty. I think my review is highly influenced by their policy of adding 20% "for a living wage" to the tab. When they made that choice, they have a duty to train the team better. The server brought us our drinks but didn't know what they were, so we couldn't help them figure out which drink went where. And we were missing one. If you're going to insist that your customers subsidize your payroll--and not give them the option of giving feedback that the service was poor--then by all means, make sure your team is stellar! They are not.

   We came here for my dad’s birthday lunch. The portion size was great and the fried chicken was moist, crunchy and delicious! However, some of the dishes ran a little too overpoweringly sweet for our liking (the bacon jam on the burgers and the vinaigrette on the green goddess salad), which we know could just be our palates! Our server was very friendly, accommodating and attentive. We enjoyed our time there.

   Cute restaurant. Staff at front could not have been less interested in being helpful or pleasant. Service was mediocre. Food was pretty decent but you’re definitely paying for the instagram aesthetic. Bathroom had no paper towels and no air dryer.

    We've given Colleen's kitchen a few tries ad 3 of the 4 times the service was terrible. We watched a table seated after us, receive their food before we even ordered. We had to visit the hostess twice to ask for someone to help us at our table. This was around 5pm on a Saturday and the restaurant was less than 1/3 full. I don't think we will return again.

    “There is a 20% SERVICE FEE for dining at Colleen’s” This should be noted on the reservation by Colleen’s and Open Table. It’s in fine print at your table -I missed it— highlighted on your bill and followed by an awkward conversation with waitstaff indicating that any “gratuity” left above the “service fee” would go directly to her. WOW! Of course, she was awesome and we left her a gratuity. Not sure if charging a “service fee” plus gratuity to dine in is a new trend in Austin but totally unexpected and left a sour taste. Otherwise, food was good (bacon wrapped dates, crab cakes, beet salad, and shrimp and grits were our favorites) and service was excellent. Mueller was a different area for us to dine in Austin; unlikely we’ll return.

    Colleen’s Kitchen was amazing. The ambiance was gorgeous. The food (chicken and and waffles, grilled banana bread, and biscuits) was amazing and our server was spectacular. We’ve been here several times and will continue.

    The biscuits, butter, and waffles were amazing! The fried chicken (for the chicken and waffles) was dry. It appears they used breast meat with no bone? The flavor was great, but I would have wished for dark meat or bone in to keep it moist. Services was good and the decor was bright and inviting.

    We came here for New Year’s Day brunch and had a great time overall. The ambiance is perfect for brunch, service was good and the food was super tasty. I am just a serious foodie working in food/restaurants for 20 years and just wanted to give some feedback about the cuisine. Thin is not in! Numerous items would have been better if they hadn’t been so paper-thin. The brunch burger is delicious and sloppy and the bottom of the bun was seriously the thinnest most useless piece of soggy bread one could imagine. But the comeback sauce and onion bacon jam were delicious and made the burger an overall yummy win. Also, the burger patty itself was really skinny. I would rather pay a few bucks more for a bigger patty. Lastly, the fried green tomato biscuit was so so yummy but because of the pimento cheese. The tomatoes were so thinly sliced and fried that it was pretty much just like biting into a slender piece of fry crisp, versus a juicy fried green tomato. Also I don’t think cooked whole cherry tomatoes should be in hash browns - unique but not anything I want with my potatoes. I would go back to this place for sure though as all the flavors were delish! Lastly, it was a little awkward to hear the spiel when getting the bill about how there is a 20% service charge included for the entire staff and how anything above that goes to the server and is greatly appreciated. My partner and I are not well off so tipping more than 20% is a luxury we really don’t have, unless service is A+, which it wasn’t. It was good! Just not over 20% (which you have to be amazing for so it seemed a lil far fetched to ask for it). But a great experience and I would def go back.

    Service was very friendly, as always. The food took a while to make. This was the second time we’ve ordered the green Goddess salad and it was completely drowning in dressing. I’d recommend dialing that back, otherwise everything was delicious.

    Came here for Friendsgiving with my friends and had the best time. We started off with cornbread and the fried green tomatoes and both were soooo delicious. If you have to choose one app, always go for the cornbread, it’s that good. I’ve had a few things here before but got the chicken pot pie and it was SO GOOD! I will definitely return for this.

    I took my son out for dinner and enjoyed the evening. I didn’t appreciate 20% being added to my bill regardless of poor or great service. That was unlike anything I have seen before and the service fee fee was forced. All in all the food and atmosphere was great

    Food VERY delayed, which I understand b/c of short staffing. When notified server I was allergic to dairy, her response was EVERYTHING has tons of butter and cream, out of luck. I was not provided options or was not offered any accommodations to the menu, e.g. we can not cook X in pan Y that has butter. I got a salad, which had "no" blue cheese crumbles, until I stirred the tons of lettuce; then could taste blue cheese, meaning the blue cheese crumbles were removed after the salad was made. Note, you will not see many bad reviews from me b/c I respect the industry.
