Austin knows how to do breakfast—and if you’re heading to a Texas Longhorns game, there’s no better excuse to fuel up before the tailgate.
From tacos to biscuits to stacked egg sandwiches, these pregame breakfast spots will have you feeling full and fired up.
The best part? They’re all close enough to the stadium to keep your morning low-stress and high-reward. Let’s eat. 👇
🌮 1. Mi Madre’s
A true East Austin OG, Mi Madre’s has been slinging top-tier Tex-Mex breakfast tacos since the '90s. Their bacon & egg taco is a classic, but the chorizo, potato, and cheese combo is a lowkey cheat code. Friendly service, quick counter pickup, and just the right amount of grease to soak up last night’s fun. 😅
🥞 2. Kerbey Lane Cafe
Beloved by students, Kerbey Lane is an anytime, anywhere breakfast spot. Their seasonal pancake flavors (pumpkin, cinnamon roll, etc.) are elite, and the queso-smothered migas hit different before a noon kickoff. Bonus: vegan and gluten-free options are solid here too. 🌱
🍳 3. Bird Bird Biscuit
If you like your breakfast with a side of "holy sh*t that’s good," head to Bird Bird Biscuit. Their biscuit sandwiches are fluffy, crispy, sweet, and savory all in one bite. The Queen Beak (spicy fried chicken + honey + chipotle mayo) is a pregame power move. 🔥
🥓 4. Arturo’s Underground Café
Hidden gem alert! Arturo’s has cozy vibes, strong coffee, and a menu full of comforting classics. Grab a breakfast taco plate or a fluffy omelet with crispy potatoes, and sit out on the patio if it’s not too hot. Perfect if you want something quieter before the crowd madness begins. ☕️
🍩 5. Joe’s Bakery & Coffee Shop
Legendary. Iconic. Been holding it down since 1962. Joe’s is where you go when you want the full Tejano breakfast experience—migas, barbacoa, refried beans, and their famous sweet pan dulce. Expect a wait, but it’s always worth it. 🙌
🥗 6. Hillside Farmacy
A little fancier and super photogenic. Hillside Farmacy is perfect if you're pre-gaming with the parents or want to sip a cappuccino while enjoying avocado toast with farm eggs. It’s got an old-school pharmacy vibe, but the food is fresh AF. 📸
🥪 7. Eggman ATX
The breakfast sandwich that’s changing the game in Austin. Eggman ATX is a food truck near campus that serves NYC-style egg sandwiches—crispy bacon, melty cheese, and fried eggs stacked on fluffy Kaiser rolls. Bonus: every sandwich is made to order, with house-made sauces and home fries on the side. 🔥 Whether you’re hungover, hyped up, or just hungry, Eggman hits every time. And the chopped cheese? Let’s just say it’s not just a New York thing anymore. 😉
🧡 Go Horns!
Pregame hard, eat even harder. Whether you’re tailgating, watching from the stands, or just vibing in burnt orange, these breakfast spots are here to fuel your game day magic. 🤘
