The Commons Cafe - Austin

This place is a true hidden gem! Because of the location you would not expect an incredible and affordable cafeteria, but there is! You'll need to go through the visitors entrance and follow the signs or ask the guard at the gate.They have the menu planned out every week and you have your choice of each type of protein plus 2 sides... All for under $10! You cannot find a better deal! When I worked in the area I went here at least twice a week. Chef and his crew are incredible!

The Commons is a good place to grab a quick bite if you're there for a conference or visiting one of the nearby labs. The food is fine, and the pricing is fair. I wouldn't make a special trip to eat here but it's good for what it is.Update: The breakfast is really good. They have breakfast tacos and biscuits and gravy, both of which I recommend.

Great potatoes, eggs, and cheese tacos. Friendly cashier and reasonable priced tacos for the size and flavor.

Thank god these guys are open again. A year and a half of fast food and take out has cause my doctor to become quite angry.$10 for amazing scratch made food and fresh never frozen veggies is the best, healthiest deal in Austin. Tasty meat and vegetarian entrees available cafeteria style every day. Free parking 1-hour now by the water tower. Get in and out quick or dine in with lots of outdoor space.These guys are back and on point with the food.
