“ Friday evening, May 1st, found us in Jefferson, TX, where we met some family. My nephew recommended this restaurant and it turned out to be a great one at that. It was so nice catching up and the food and such I forgot to take photos of the food. But that is fine; we enjoyed ourselves. We were quickly seated and we enjoyed the banter with our waitress who was very quick witted and had great come backs. We ordered the Brussel Sprouts which were great the way they were prepared and then moved on to our meal which arrived soon after finishing the appetizer. My nephew and I both ordered NY strips; mine with the sweet potato hash and his with mashed potatoes. My wife loved her lobster ravioli while niece order chicken marsala. It was a nice dining experience and a great evening catching up. ”

“ My visit here was the Farewell visit! We went on a Friday night and a Sunday morning for brunch. Sadly the owner passed and the restaurant was closing in a few days! Well my short lived visits here were outstanding, I hated it took us so long to visit being that we've lived in the area almost 4 years, but I enjoyed everything I ate and drank at this place so please pray for this establishment, we want to see the doors back open here soon because it was truly a hidden gem right here in the heart of Jefferson TX! ”

“ We chose Sunday brunch at 1852 on Austin after hearing rave reviews, and it mostly lived up to the praise. Arriving around noon, we were seated right away and instantly charmed by the antique, nostalgic vibe, enhanced by a fantastic live country singer. The host was warm and welcoming, though our waitress was just average—lacking the personal touch we’d hoped for. The coffee was solid. We started with biscuits and mayhaw jelly; the jelly and butter were delicious, but the biscuits themselves were a bit dry and cold. The Texas breakfast with fresh fruit was enjoyable, featuring a build-your-own omelette and cheese grits. The omelette was flavorful and perfectly portioned, but the cheese grits stole the show—hands down the highlight of the meal. The sourdough toast was another win, nicely done. Overall, it was a very good brunch experience, and we’d happily return. ”

“ Four of us visited for lunch. Took 45 minutes to get our food, and it wasn’t even packed. We had to ask for a drink refill as well. One of us ordered the 1852 Poutine, which we thought had burnt ends in it. We saw none. When we asked, we were told that the burnt ends were in the sausage. Didn’t see any at all! Tasted good but needs a better description on the menu. The fried green tomato BLT was very good! ”

“ This was a lovely place! I got a burger and my wife ordered the korean chicken sandwich. Not to mention the BEST sweet potato fries!! We both thoroughly enjoyed the food and the environment. Wait staff wasn't the most attentive but I believe there wasn't many there, I still greatly appreciate that they were trying their best to attend multiple tables on their own. We'll definitely be returning again!! ”

“ One of the best steaks I have ever eaten. Super tender. Not over seasoned. Sauce served on side. Dinner rolls were amazing. Good beer on draft. 100% would return. ”
