The new 2025 menu is not good and more expensive. I’m disappointed in the changes to some of my favorite items that were perfect. The brisket pastrami is terrible. The bacon is awful covered in those large peppercorn chunks. I miss the old sides like the Brussels sprouts and the Mac and cheese. Now there’s options like a side of pickles or a side of cucumbers??? I wish the new owner or manager had left the menu alone :( I hope they don’t go near the pastry menu :(

I used to love going to Easy Tiger. They had so many great things I could choose from as a vegetarian. Their quinoa bowl was hearty and flavorful and the veggie burger was wonderful. My daughter loved the chicken tenders. So many great menu options and now they are all gone. What a massive disappointment. We, unfortunately won't be coming any more as there just isn't anything I want to eat on the menu. Add to that their absence lately from Too Good To Go. What a shame.

Arriving at Easy Tiger on Sunday 12/7/25 the atmosphere was inviting and chill. The bartender Cooper managed the bar with delightful conversation and precision. Get the Reuben. It was the best. It was great service. Just all the way around the best experience.

Great, relaxed, slow meal or snack. They are a great cafe, beer garden, and bakery

Food was great as usual. The server was a little inconsistent, not entirely clear why we had to request stuff like napkins. But the music was loud and obnoxious. When we asked if they could turn the volume down, they said that the corporate set the play list and the volume and that the restaurant had no access to the controls.

I'm not sure that I will ever return due to this music management policy and will tell my friends of my unpleasant experience.

We used to love this place and it was our go to place for quick breakfast and lunch. Used to love working there too, we went yesterday and we were shocked how much the menu changed and a lot of the things we used to get are not on the menu anymore. Place used to be very busy too it was almost empty. The waiters changed and when asked about something that we usually would get which is pastrami in baguette instead of sour dough we were told they can’t make it anymore because management changed and the baguette is smaller now and they can’t fit the pastrami in it and we had to pay for the baguette separately which we never had to do before. Nothing was the same this time, I am not sure if it’s smart from new management to change everything that customers are used to. Anyway wish them luck but not sure if it would be exciting for us to go anymore.

Food was too salty and the brisket pastrami sandwich made me nauseous.

Went for a work luncheon with some supervisors - asked if we could bring one chair to an existing table, the manager told us no it was not possible. He said we could sit outside instead. Definitely not the best experience we've had. He was not accommodating and just walked off. So we left and went to another place within the Linc where they put 2 tables together. Horrible customer service!

Hey, MML Hospitality - you’ve acquired this property and this gem! Now it’s time to invest properly in 78752. This is such an amazing spot in Central Austin but some tips and feedback on how to make this a quality stand out spot like your previous success stories ie Swedish Hill etc.

1. Indoor/Outdoor seating - make it inviting! Well lit and a place to work/socialize and meet friends/family.

2. The interior needs a bit of an upgrade. Allow the upstairs to be used in addition to the main level with clear WiFi posted and community events posted on the blackboard to bring back the “third space” feeling.

3. LOVE the collaboration with Desnudo Coffee but don’t just use the beans. This will be the ONLY Central North Austin spot that’s a true coffee shop that will have this amazing collaboration. Work with and train your baristas well so there is no need to go to the coffee trailers in East/Downtown.

4. Significantly improve the menu/execution of the quality of bakery and its presentation.

5. Lastly, the MOST important part - The Linc is an amazing spot to hang out/shop/workout. Work with the 78752 policy makers/security/police and most importantly help clean up the St John/I35 gas stations so we feel safe to gas up before and after visiting Easy Tiger. ahem email/meet * District 4 Chito Vela/Ramey Ko

I really hope these suggestions are passed up the management. MML Hospitality, you’ve acquired an amazing business and let’s make it a gem that we all love and know!

Quality is down, prices are up. Bring back the Eastsider burger and waffle fries :(

Also, not the businesses responsibility whatsoever so plz parent your kids; throwing rocks is a no-no <3

Drinks and pretzels and servers were still good, the 2 star is specifically for the burger and French fry downgrade.
