    I ordered Pittsburgh style and he said that the chefs knew what it was. It came out raw and not like I ordered at all. Wish he would’ve just said that they don’t know and came back and ask for a different option. Everything else was oversalted. Was really surprised by how tough the meat was as well.

    My party arrived at the tail end the lunch schedule. The food was very tasty. I truly appreciate their graciousness in letting us hang out there well until almost the dinner service.

    Rustic place with a cool vibe, but the dishes are mediocre - not as delicious as the menu makes them sound. For the price, there are plenty of better choices in Austin with more comfortable seating and better food.

    We went here for a birthday dinner. Having dined here several times before I have always had an exceptional experience. This time however the food was all sub-par. The pimento cheese app portion was small and the bread seemed like it had been pulled from a bag, not even toasted. Boudin ball app was so overly liver flavored it reminded everyone of meow mix. We got the mkt special “steak” and ordered medium rare. Steak was so rare is was bleeding and there was still the tendon in (had not been taken out). For the high price it was the biggest let down. It was very disappointing to have such a terrible meal here when they have always delivered such high quality food.

    We had an amazing brunch here on the patio. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Coffee and food was all delicious! The only unfortunate part is the parking. The lot is all valet and if you don’t want to pay you park on the side of a very busy road.

    Great service! Deviled eggs were delicious. Brussel Sprouts were too sugary to eat. Chicken fried steak was okay, but nothing special.

    I’m a repeat customer and booked this lovely spot for an engagement dinner. I requested a specific section on the bluff. I called three times to confirm, including the day of the reservation. I also requested to purchase a whole cake and was told I would receive a call back but the call never came. When my party arrived, the table I requested was full and we were seated elsewhere. We were moved to the requested area after appetizers, which was awkward. When you anticipate spending more than $600 for a special occasion meal, explain why you are making the request, get confirmation multiple times, and the manager even shows you the detailed notes in the reservation, it can be very disappointing. Even though the food and waitstaff were great, this really dampened the experience. I’ll look elsewhere for special occasions going forward.

    It took almost an hour to get out foods but besides that all was fine. We did have a dish was dried up chicken but when we shared our experience they comped it.

    Our waiter Justin was fabulous. Food was good but steak had a lot of fat/sinew which made it difficult to eat. Wine suggestion of the Malbec was good but there could be a little more variety in offerings. Cocktails were good but many had a bit much of a sweet side to them.

    Met some friends for brunch. Food was just ok. Vegan meal was extremely salty and didn’t have much to it (one small pepper, couscous, and zucchini were the only things on the plate). The restaurant touts its river setting but you can’t actually see the river from most of the seating areas in the restaurant. Parking is an issue. There is a valet lot (the attendant asked me to move my car as she said that I came in from the wrong direction (there wasn’t any signage to indicate I had entered the lot incorrectly). Anyway, disappointing experience.

    Salmon was excellent. Chicken fried steak was ok. Sides are not good. Brussel sprouts were over sauced. Mac and cheese had no flavor since it seemed the noodles were cooked without salt. Deviled eggs and pimento cheese appetizers were great. Hostess couldn't be bothered with doing her job. Was put out to show us to our table.

    First time visit to Jacoby's Mercantile. Loved it! Loved the atmosphere and the food! Great menu! I had their seasonal martini which was delicious as well. My husband had their regular hamburger and I had their special - Bourbon Jam Burger - with pimento cheese, bacon and coffee & bourbon jam. Both were fantastic. We also had the yeast rolls with bbq & bbq butter. Fabulous!!!
