The property is just beautiful and the atmosphere inside the house is lovely. We visited recently for lunch at 11am. We were seated promptly and service was very good.As far as the menu goes, there are some stand outs and definite "never agains." The Milk Punch French Toast was very tasty. So were the biscuits with strawberry butter and the pimento cheese appetizer. The pimento cheese was made with sharp cheddar and it was delish!The smoked salmon board was good. It's hot-smoked salmon and it was tasty.The salads were very expensive if you want protein, so I opted for the breakfast plate. That was a big mistake.The HUGE let down was the breakfast plate. The wild boar sausage was very dry. The potatoes were so over-seasoned that they really ruined the palate for the rest of the food. For the cost of the plate, it should come with a biscuit. We won't have the breakfast plate again.

Planner here! I had SUCH a wonderful first-time experience working with the Mattie’s staff. Leading up to the wedding day, Courtney took such great care to ensure all our needs were met and was great with communication. Come the day of, she was a right-hand gal and tended to anything myself or the couple needed. The night crew also did a fabulous job ensuring a smooth service and happy guest experience. And of course, to top it off, the white peacock made its appearance for the wedding day. Thanks, Mattie’s! -Sydney, In Ink Weddings

Food and atmosphere were amazing. Such a unique atmosphere in South Austin and the birds were a unique touch.Our waiter was a little too candid at times and could have been more professional.When explaining the menu he said “my favorite dish is this and the rest its basically what you see is what you get”Expected a bit better service but otherwise Mattie’s exceeded all expectations.

Mattie’s is so beautiful and dreamy! It’s almost in the center of the city while simultaneously feeling incredibly private and like a southern charmed oasis from the usual loud, crowded dining experiences in Austin. The food is wonderful but the aesthetic is like no other! I’ve been here 20x in my 5yrs here and enjoy it every single time.Highly recommend!

The grounds are beautiful! I lost some stuff here at my best friends wedding and don’t live nearby. I called the next day and they actually called me back to let me know they were looking! Turns out a friend had my missing items, but just want to thank the staff for caring :)

A magical place for any sort of event. The food is amazing and the staff and ambiance have no rival in terms of quality in the area! I will come back here every time I’m in town.
The atmosphere is beautiful, and the house is a gem within Austin. Sadly, the food was really bad. Like really really bad. The service was okay but the waiters had kind of an off putting vibe- there was something really off with our waiter. The only way to describe her would be “uncanny valley”.

The menu celebrates the rich culinary traditions of the South, with dishes like fried chicken and shrimp and grits stealing the show. Each bite is a comforting embrace of flavors, made even more delightful by the elegant surroundings and attentive service.

This location was perfect for a small work dinner. We were located in the upstairs dining table. The food was superb and the intimate setting made it so all 16 of us could talk without fear of disturbing other groups.

Appetizers were great, main course was okay, desert was great. Atmosphere was really cool but beware of ticks if you’re seated outside. We saw two on the table within 5 minutes.

Secluded grounds and a good menu. Indoor and outdoor dining options. Somewhat southern inspired menu. Peacocks on the grounds.

Food was good. Front of house was stand-offish and acted as if I was inconveniencing them by being there from the hostess greeting me to my service.
