User Reviews for Old Pecan Street Cafe

It has been years since I was last there but I am looking forward to introducing my daughter to the restaurant. The food I remember most was the quiche but what I loved about the place was the 'patio' area. I am hoping that is still there. I loved walking through the relatively small inner area and coming out onto the 'courtyard', especially on a cool Autumn afternoon.

Old Pecan Cafe leads me there by name alone, and captivating aromatic blends of baked goods and coffee drew me in just passing by. When it's time for dining, down-to-earth comfort nestled between old world charm, and but of course palatable options for a dream come true. Their crepes a savory delight with warm banana filing, just a trace of rum with almonds, not pecans, sprinkled just so, and wouldn't a thick gooey chocolate sauce scribbled across it all really complete the divine experience? Overall, stimulating flavors and surprising appetizers (any shrimp would be proud wearing this seasoning) all with little fanfare just good eating.
Pros: old world charm, huge variety of tasty dishes, not a buttoned-up affair and friendly
Cons: perhaps a bit older decor and a little less 70's

Great food, service and atmosphere. Charming old interior - perfect place to bring visitors although I will be going there a lot myself in between visits.

Popped in the other day with friends for a quick bite. I tried the Chicken Poppicotti. Delicious. Brochettes Orleans? Mouthwatering. The only bad thing is that you will fill up on the delicious honey-wheat bread. But you must make room for the Crepes with bananas. Or...you can go to heaven with the Pecan Pie. The atmosphere is so nice and relaxed and the street life just filters by. Worthwhile.

I was sorely disappointed with the Old Pecan Street Cafe. From the outside, it looks like a neat old place, and the building itself is. The service and the food, inside however, were quite a different story. Our waiter was slow, and when we asked him if a ceasar salad was available at dinner (instead of the house salad) he checked in the kitchen, then told us that would be fine. After a what seemed like a long time, he delivered the standard house salad, claiming not to know whether or not it was what we had ordered at all! The entrees were okay, although the steaks were severely undercooked (medium was more like raw). The desserts (I had the "fat chocolate cake") was really good, complete with freshly-whipped cream. Overall, I'd say don't bother with this place until they get either a new chef, new management, or (hopefully) both.
Pros: good building, good atmosphere
Cons: poor service, mediocre food

The food has always been delicious and uniquely prepared! An ideal place to bring friends or family visiting Austin to start on your 6th street night on the town. Recently went to the Sunday brunch with cabaret singer and group seating. Lots of fun!
Pros: Location, Great menu
Cons: downtown parking
