I really cant get over how fantastic every dish is!! The fact that I can eat just about everything is insane, and I dig it. Gluten-free dairy free... picnik has the dish for you... off Brussel sprouts are to die for, the queso is out of this world, chicken fried chicken is most and delectable. Accommodated me and 9 friends for my bday!

Ordered the paleo salmon, and it was completely raw in the center. We tried to show the staff and the waiter was understanding in that they were helpful in getting a new dish, but inferred that non-sushi grade salmon can be served in a raw manner. I felt my concerns were not heard about the undercooked salmon. When the replacement was brought out, it was the proper color and obviously cooked the right way. I was told upon expressing my concerns about the first salmon that they were “sorry if I didn’t like it prepared that way”. Not the best experience. Worried about potential salmonella cases if this is repeated.

Staff was super friendly and the food was confusing to read but hella delicious! A little pricey but worth it. If you have a chance, its a great spot!

This place just isn’t what it use to be. I’ve always gotten this same dish- farmhouse breakfast or all American breakfast dish. I think the name changed. Since, the pandemic things have changed a bit. It’s no longer served with the super yummy sauce they use to serve the potatoes with, the toast is significantly smaller, and the egg portion is clearly smaller! They use to season the eggs really well and now sadly it’s just a basic scrambled egg. I miss the lovely parsley they use to garnish it with. This time around the bacon wasn’t thoroughly cooked and it just looked overly greasy. The service is always very slow. Takes a while to get your drink. Never the less, staff is always pleasant.

The ambience is very comfortable, and the staff is very friendly. We ordered the house chai and picnik lemonade for drinks which were very refreshing.For food we ordered the korma with chicken and the bibimbap with chicken. Food was simply delicious!

The setting/vibe is great. Modern and farmhouse style design however the food really isn’t up to par.In terms of foodMy avocado toast was quite delicious but the portion was way too small for $11. Fish tacos were dry and mushy. My friend ordered the farmhouse plate and after trying it it tasted extremely mediocre. Honestly, Denny’s and IHOP would be better.Overall, it’s an aesthetic place with extremely “meh” food accompanied by great staff and structure.

Food was fantastic. Anthony was an excellent waiter. Great concept with a variety of choices, very impressive for a completely gluten-free restaurant.

Feel good place with feel good food!! Its so nice to go to a location where everything on the menu is gluten free - no worries about getting sick! Everything is also soy free and peanut free. And so delicious! I got chicken tenders and their fried fingerling potatoes (because Im still a kid haha). Planning on bringing my friend here for brunch soon! The ginger turmeric cocktail was also amazing!

Picnik provides a wide array of food options, and all of the things my wife and I have tried are good. Some spectacular while others just good.I would suggest going with server recommendations if it’s your first time or you may not be able to go multiple times.The whole kitchen is gluten free, which is huge since my wife has a severe allergy. They also handle other allergies and concerns extremely well. Very professional and competent staff that work hard to make meals even more enjoyable and comfortable.

A brightly-lit restaurant with modern decor and a quirky, interesting menu. My friends and I ordered the Harvest Hash and the Picnik Melt. The poached eggs and sausage were great on the hash! The Picnik Melt was also extremely tasty. Our cappuccinos were good, but overly creamy—we’d have liked them to taste a bit more coffee-esque. In general it was a good experience, only wished the hash was a little less sweet, and that the portions were a bit larger for the price.

My doctor recently put me on a very restrictive elimination diet which left me with few options for my birthday dinner. I explained to the staff my situation and they actually brought a full list of ingredients of all the menu items out to the table so we could discuss options. They made some accommodations to the pan-seared salmon entrée so that I could have an enjoyable meal for my birthday, and to top it off, they brought out a complementary dessert that fit within my dietary restrictions. I know it was a pain to adapt to my situation on the fly, but they went out of their way to make it happen, and were so nice about it too. I was so impressed!

Food was excellent, drinks were pretty good, atmosphere was great, and service was perfect. It certainly isnt inexpensive, but the prices were fair considering the quality of ingredients and food prep that went into the dishes. Tried a number of things while there and everything was delicious. You wont be disappointed!

Ive really enjoyed their avocado toast with an egg in the past, butt this time I was in the mood for something different. I ordered the bibimbap, with an egg, and added tofu also.It seemed super expensive, and when it came I was disappointed and started complaining to my wife about the 5 pretty small pieces of tofu for $5.But then I started eating and the flavors exploded in my mouth. The meal was absolutely delicious, and the tofu was a wonderful addition. By the end I had to admit it was totally worth it, and Ill be ordering it again!

Great fish tacos! The atmosphere is amazing. The staff is grand. I will be going back.

Reason for 3 stars is for the service. Our waiter was not attentive to us just the other tables. I had to ask the hostess to get the waiter for us just to take our initial drink orders. He didn’t even check in us when our food came out. He either was overwhelmed that day or he didn’t like our skin color shade. Please talk to your staff about that because I can bet that wasn’t the first time this male waiter did that.

First, the food is simply amazing. This alone is enough reason to visit. Their service is on a whole other level. Without getting into all the details, they went over and above to resolve a delivery issue and I was blown away. Did I also mention the Cool Dine- in space? Definitely check it!

Amazing food! Service was great!

Being dairy-free it’s usually really hard to find a restaurant that has more than a couple of options. Piknik is an amazing and accommodating restaurant! Great vibes and great food!

Started out rough when we ordered queso but didn’t read the fine print (made out of cashews). Not our favorite queso in Austin lol. Had the salad, chicken fried chicken, fish taco and chicken tenders. Solid food all around. Imho overpriced. Highlight: the staff was phenomenal. Amazing service.

Picnic dishes are always well prepared and the staff are knowledgeable and efficient. If theres any crowd there however, its pretty noisy. The main drawback for having conversations over a meal.

Terrible incompetence. Foods great if they get your order right.

First time visitor and Ill definitely be back. I had the Korma + Marinated Tofu. It was amazing, especially the sauce.

I took my friend here for a birthday brunch and we had an amazing experience. Neither of us can have gluten so this place was perfect!First off, let me start by saying that I love that I was able to make a reservation, in my phone, and through Google! The restaurant has a nice modern look to it and the staff was great upon our arrival. We were not able to sit outside but thats okay.At the recommendation of our server, Amanda, I had a vanilla latte with collagen that was delicious! My friend and I also shared the muffin basket which went well with our coffee.For our meal, I had the Harvest Hash which was and yummt combo of sweet and spicy. It was so filling that I couldnt eat all of it. My friend had the Smoked Salmon Toast which was a gluten-free take on locks and bagels which she said was great and also very filling for the small portion that it was.Overall, it was great and we will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing service and food. First time her, recommend by my sister who has ALL the allergies (I have none). Asked my server what his favorite was. He recommended the Korma with chicken instead of tofu and a side of rice. SO GLAD I got what he recommended. 10/10. This place will be a staple for me Everytime I come into town.

Awesome food! Everything was amazing! Being gluten free is a challenge unless you come here!!

First time we came here we got all the goodies pancakes and things- was really good. This time we tried some “real food” and it was not good. Bacon eggs and steak tacos tasted old, like 2 week old leftovers from grandmas fridge that were half-a$$ microwaved 😅 $70 for poor quality cooking. Better off buying your own at the grocery store. My drink was good though ;)

We had a little bit of everything---A breakfast taco, a patty melt, Fried chicken, and bimbimbap. It was all good. Happy faces all around. The wait staff were professional, efficient and personable. All in all a good experience. And no gluten in site.

This place is spectacular. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, and they are EXTREMELY accommodating to those with all kinds of dietary needs whether they be for personal preference or actual health/medical reasons. Even if you have no special dietary needs do check them out—you absolutely will not be disappointed!

Nothing less than amazing! The entire menu is gluten-free. I love everything on the menu especially the delicious French toast. On the rare cool days we have in Austin, the coconut bone broth with curry is delicious.

First time here. Great experience. Friendly staff & amazing food- and drinks! It can be difficult to find good places to go with a vegan & a meat eater but Picnik really knocked it out of the park!

We went for the Avacado toast. For an $11 entree, we received a single small slice of bread with avocado tomato topping and egg. Boy are they stingy with their portions. It was tasty, I will give it that! However I cannot get over for that price you could go to the store and make a whole loaf of avocado toast! Save your $$$

I had the sesame wings and the picnik melt. Soooo goood!! Service was top notch and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Austin. Such a great atmosphere too.

Restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating available. EVERYTHING here is gluten-free, and they even have tortillas made out of cassava flour! The menu has a ton of options for meat eaters, pescatarians, vegetarian, and vegans. They have a great drink menu, too. Great place to hang out with friends and family. Casual environment for date night.

App:Beet hummusDrink: staycation cocktailEntres: wagyu, blackened salmonVegetables with the hummus were crisp and fresh. Server brought us more veggies when they saw is running low.The staycation was creamy and delicious.Salmon was cooked medium and was very moist and flavorfulWagyu with chimmi & churrizo potatoes and mushrooms. This was my boyfriend’s dish. He loved it.

One of my favorite places in north central Austin for breakfast. I’m pretty loyal to the harvest hash (yummy 😋) and a “basic” coffee is a great way to start the day! The atmosphere is very Austinesque and the staff truly couldn’t be nicer.

Great atmosphere inside and on the patio, the staff is super helpful and friendly, prices are great for the amazing food quality!!! I dont like to have canola oil in my foods because my body reacts badly to it so eating at Picnik is safe for my tummy. Ive eaten the fried chicken brunch with one of their gin drinkies and felt energized and light afterwards! That never happens with fried food anywhere else so go to picnik and splurge- you wont regret it!!

The flavors of the dish I order were really full and well balanced. I enjoyed it. I just wish the portions were a little bigger

Amazingly good place to eat if you have Gluten Free people in your party. Everything on the menu is gluten free. We were very impressed with the selection and the food was delicious. I recommend the bone broths. Fairly priced for a restaurant of this caliber.

My partner and I love trying a new Austin restaurant every week. Picnik was a huge disappointment at every turn. My latte tasted burnt and bitter, and the spinach artichoke dip appetizer had a very odd anchovy and lemon flavor — like it was a hot Cesar salad spinach dip? I’m not sure, but it was off putting.I got the classic breakfast with eggs over medium and received two fully cooked yolks and the “smashed potatoes” seemed to be just a bag of H‑E‑B new potatoes that were smashed with a bacon press until literally burned black.The final knife in the back was when our check came and we realized when the waiter asked if we wanted more chips for the spinach dip, we were charged $2 extra for a tiny teacup of chips and all we could do was laugh ourselves out of the joint after wasting almost $70.

Love this place... great for gluten free and health/diet concerns AND fancy enough for date nights

I absolutely love this place. The food is really good and the people are super nice. We ended up seating outside on a cold day and were provided blankets !! I had the chicken broth and added some butter and black pepper to it. It was gone in no time. Next came the fish tacos and then a side of smashed potatoes with aioli sauce . Probably the best suggestion ever . My friend had the French toast which he always has and swears by it. There is a wait time which averages about 30 to 40 minutes during peak Sunday brunch time but its totally worth it. I have no doubts Im going to end up here sometime soon and you should too !!

Nice place but over-priced for what it has to offer. Great ambiance. The service was superb and the cocktail I had was great. The food was hit and miss. We order four dishes, one was good, two were fine and one was noy good.

Positively delicious. Feel good food and drinks. Lovely outdoor space (that is dog friendly) and very friendly staff! The harvest hash is a must have if you like the ingredients dont second guess it it will blow you away! YUM

Recommend calling ahead and making reservations, restrooms are very small. First time eating here. ordered a farmhouse breakfast (eggs were flavorless) but everything else was delicious. Husband order shrimp and grits, amazing flavors that melt in your mouth. We also ordered a muffin basket, very delicious and soft. Staff was friendly and attentive. A little overpriced. Restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere and very covid conscious, mask required.

Excellent!!! Loved the food and service!! This is the BEST GLUTEN FREE RESTAURANT!! Thank you...makes my heart smile!! Even cheese cake!!! Wowza! Will be back often!!! Next week for sure!

Absolutely amazing! The whole aura of the place is next level. And the food...you gotta try it. Plus if you eat there you get a discount at 10000 Villages next door! Bonus!

Amazing how good the food is here. Im not a health food store of guy, well, I wasnt. Picnik is the perfect example of a spot that makes incredible food that tastes amazing, that happens to also be healthy. My wife found it because she has to eat gluten free and everything there is gluten free.

Good tasting but very small portion.

Love this place, food is amazing. Only slightly annoyed with how much they’ve enforced the mask policy. Especially since Texas lifted the mandate, a lot of other places say “required” but don’t enforce It as much as this place. 🥴

Great healthy place to eat for brunch. I had the grapefruit, goat cheese salad. It was amazing. You can bring your dog. They have water bowls for your dog to drink out of. Awesome 👏

I love the minimalistic interior here. The food are very good too. I recommend the French Toast and Brussel sprout

Wish they had a location in Chicago! Very helpful servers and delicious healthy food. Felt stress free ordering despite my dietary restrictions.

The food is phenomenal! I have multiple food allergies and Picnik has the best variety and taste.

What a wonderful environment & amazing healthy food! Our server, Amanda, was also delightful. My friend visiting from out of town and I came for brunch & cant wait to bring my husband here soon!

Gluten free everything, hand crafted hot and cold drinks to die for. Classy and not the least bit pretentious. The servers are friendly and accommodating every time we dine. I’ve never had the chance to have dinner here, but I’m told their cocktails are divine. The parking can be challenging during peak hours.

Food was delicious but too much .. need smaller portions plates on the menu..

Good food, one suggestion is that they could improve the cut of meat for the steak though

Service was outstanding. Food was excellent. Fun environment

Sebastián was great and the food was fantastic. The world needs more places like this!

The sheer feeling of having Celiac and being able to order the entire menu is unparalleled. On top of that, the food is delicious. I especially love the Chicken Fried Chicken, Korma, and Hash. Really I havent had a thing on the menu I dont like. The service is always excellent, even when getting food to go. Truly the best mix of healthy and comfort foods, cannot recommend this place enough!

Very yummy food. Didnt try the coffee with butter but Ill try it next time. Had the crispy chicken which was excellent. My girlfriend had a salad and it wasnt as good as mine but she got the chicken grilled vs crispy, so her mistake for trying to be too healthy. Good environment and excellent service.

Pricey but tasty. Supposedly 20g of protein in their drinks! Expect a wait. And not a place to get work done in.

Very different and delicious food 😋

Yummo! Between us, we had some fun food allergies, aversions and the like. These folks were knowledgeable about what was in every dish and accommodated all of us. The only issue was that it took awhile for our food to come. Given the customization, I cant really fault them for it.

In town for the tiny home jamboree, great food. Have been a huge supporter of the butter coffee idea for a long time. Prices are a little expensive but that is expected with good quality sourced food. Stop in and try it out.

Gluten free, peanut free, corn freeOnly wish the food was free.Or at least cheaper. Breakfast is the best menu option. Ask about happy hour, not sure if thats a thing any more, but the half priced apps are great.

How can it get any better than a hip, laid back gluten free restaurant with Keto options? First off I had a bannana nut muffin that was so moist that the regular gluten filled version paled in comparison. I was blown away. Of course that was a non Keto cheat for me. But I did bring home their infamous coffee creamer & it did not disappoint. The staff was extremely knowledgeable & polite. Will visit frequently ❤

Loved this place! They ACTUALLY know what Paleo is ans the waiter was super knowledgeable. The food was fantastic (I even got some to go so I could have it the next day). I also highly recommend the chai latte. So smooth and delicious!

Wonderful dinner. Food delicious, service great

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the outdoor (in the back) seating gets hit from greenhouse effect & the prices aren’t accessible to all.However the food is very tasty and fresh and worth it if you can afford to spend over $20 on a quick meal. The decor is very calming and gorgeous. The service is top notch! You feel welcome / like you can stay awhile and nobody will rush you.Not too many vegan options but you can switch things out 😄

Perfect place for anyone with diet restrictions. Delicious food and great staff.

Great food. Healthy and tasty! Anthony the food server made excellent recommendations.

AMAZING service (Lauren and Zena!). You can tell that the ingredients are good quality and they are hand prepared. The items on the menu sometimes surprise you when you first read it (like guac with apple), but Im pretty certain there is nothing on this menu that isnt really good. Feels like everything is really well thought out and prepared. It is pricy but I think its worth it to experience real food.You also have to trust the staff. If you dont know how it works or what to get, they are great at recommending and explaining.Also, when you care about ethics and quality in business then it costs more, but the value you get is well worth it.If youre lucky, you might see their in-house ninja, Jacob!We ordered:- loaded guac, and it was so good we had to order twice.- lemonade- mocha with coconut milk- matcha (my friend said its the best shes ever had)- Eggplant rotalini- fish tacos- breakfast tacos: veggie and chorizo- banana pancakes

The atmosphere here is great. Super cool building and great service. The breakfast tacos were excellent, I had bacon and egg and my husband had a different one. Theres two eggs so its a good portion. Also you can order black coffee if youre not a fan of butter coffee (like us) and it was excellent! They brought out natural sugar and coconut milk as well. Definitely pricier for breakfast, but excellent food.

This place was amazing. Super cute atmosphere and delicious food! I highly recommend to anyone but especially if you have good allergies or sensitivities. The restuarant was clean and the service was excellent!

Whole 30 Approved ✅Check out there special menu when you stop by if you have any dietary restrictions. We were able to eat whole 30 there with ease of a few substions. Coffee was great also. This place tends to get a little busy, so make sure you plan ahead. We had the hasbowl and it was very flavorful!!!

AMAZING! I have a pretty severe gluten allergy and I don’t get any sort of (non-sandy tasting) bread type treats. This place was amazing! The breads were delicious and not gritty.

Great food, good service and nice atmosphere make this a terrific brunch or lunch place. High quality and locally sourced ingredients make it even better.

My parents visited from out of state, and one of the restaurants they had to visit while here was Picnik, as they really enjoyed it last time. We just went again, and they made one of the most delicious meals I’ve had. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The sauces were perfect. We’ll definitely return.

Yum! The paleo hot chocolate is to die for! I could drink it forever! The food is also really delicious and the space is gorgeous! Highly recommend!

Great tasting food that isnt too harmful on the body. Alcohol beverages are unique and delicious. Service has always been wonderful.

Limited menu but excellent food 😃

Food was delicious and the staff amazing!

Amazing dining experience! Were from a small town in Nevada that doesnt have the options of paleo, keto compliance meals. With my wifes eating restrictions its hard to find a good place that offers food for the whole family. This place was amazing!

Why is the staff here so good looking?? They’re young, lithe and glowy looking and radiate good health energy like no where I’ve been... even if the food sucked I think I’d still want to eat here if only to hopefully absorb some of their energy by proximity... But the food doesn’t suck. It’s super delicious. I had the southwest hash which is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. And it’s a LOT of food! And I ate every bite. Atmosphere is great too - loungey living room feeling waiting area and open buzzy kitchen. Love the community table! First one I’ve come across in Austin. ❤️❤️❤️ This is an A+++ dining establishment and you should eat here as often as your budget allows!

Love the place and brussel sprout was really good!

Had the meatballs and chicken tenders. If you dont like olives maybe dont get the meatballs. Fancy atmosphere. Like a fully furnished Ikea theme.

Best place to eat out on Whole30, period. They have a menu specifically for people in the Whole30 and are so accommodating! The foods delicious and the waitstaff are awesome. If you go, ask for Amanda as your server. She’s the best 😉

I had the Orange Chicken & broccoli which I thought was fantastic. It had great flavor and made good left overs too! I also tried the fried Brussels Sprouts and really how could you go wrong with them?? The only reason I marked down a star is because the time I was in there we had a ton of fruit flies near our table. Im hoping this was cleared up!

Great health conscious and food allergenic spot.Super cool to see a food spot that is completely one way with their entire menu and not just a portion of it.100% Gluten, Corn, Peanut, and Soy free. They use Avocado oil.Lots of variety from drinks to breakfast items to desserts. Nice atmosphere as well.Would recommend the Golden Milk Matcha 👌

My go to place, I love everything they have to offer here. Almost tried everything on the menu at this point. I’m gluten free as well so it’s nice to not have to worry about gluten at all!

Omg the Harvest Hash was to die for!! Yes to everything here! Great quality, great taste!

Im a fan of this place. The ingredients are top notch. Friendly staff too

Both the inside and outside of Picnik has a put-together look. Very modern. The Sunday brunch menu had plenty of options to choose from, nothing too out of the ordinary. We ordered the farmhouse breakfast; a meal of bacon, eggs, potatoes, and a bread (biscuit and pancake). It lacked any flavors of the south and/or comfort. They’re big on using “healthy” alternative ingredients which I can support, but the execution wasn’t good. Everything except the eggs, and bacon (which was surprising super fatty - hopefully they choose a meatier selection) tasted like diet recipes when trying to find an alternative to indulgent food. The pancakes were pretty rigid with semi-sweet maple syrup. The syrup was satisfactory, and the pancake was cardboard in texture and taste. The gravy had way too many flavors going on for it being anything like southern biscuits and gravy. It was like a bowl of too many seasonings yet didn’t taste like much. Bread tasted like low-carb-bread replacements from the store. Potatoes had a sage/thyme flavor that was overpowering the potato that my partner finished them for me. No one wants to give up their potatoes! It was sad. I went in super optimistic and came out full of calories, $60 less in my pocket, and mega disappointed. Waited 45 minutes after ordering for the meal. No one even came by during that time to check on us. I saw staff standing around, so they weren’t too busy not to check on us at least once. If youre into fad diets like paleo and keto this might be the place for you. If you want actual southern food this is not the place. As someone who was raised in the Deep South and uses these same “healthy alternatives” on a regular basis this was really bad. I would not go back here.

Been here many times and I always leave highly satisfied! I always start off by getting the Loaded Guacamole. It is amazing and definitely one of my favorites in Austin! It is thick in texture and creamy. The sweetness of the Apple and the flavor of the cilantro is a perfect combo that makes it delicious.Whether youre feeling hungry for breakfast or for lunch, there are many options. My favorites are the Chicken Tenders and French Toast. I would compare the nuggets to a fresh farm-to-table version of Chick-fil-A nuggets. The honey-mustard aioli dipping sauce is smooth and compliments the nuggets quite well. I recommend asking for an extra side of chipotle aioli which is also a good dipping sauce, kinda spicy, youll feel it tingle in your throat. The French Toast is very sweet and very soft. You can tell its made of fresh ingredients. Craving dessert? Get the Blondie Ice Cream Sandwich. The chocolate flavor is not in your face and allows you to taste the vanilla ice cream, straight from Lick Honest Ice Creams!Overall Im always glad to come. The service is great! Theres usually a small wait, so keep that in mind.

Good food & good service!

Overpriced, meh quality, and hidden fees.For as upscale as the prices are here, the portions were small and the food was average quality. The potatoes with my dish were barely warm when they were brought out - not a good taste.There were two of us dining and when the bill came we discovered we were each charged $1 for covid sanitary measures, with no previous mention. I have never seen a charge like this at any other restaurant, let alone one that already charges premium prices. I considered this an expensive lesson to dine elsewhere.

Delicious food that I can eat! I have limited food choices and was very excited to enjoy a meal here and also at the main restaurant. Both locations were wonderful. The coffee is a must try💞 muffins are delish.CC- at the Lamar container restaurant theprices are a bit high for the portions/product (though tasty) in my personal opinion.

Love this place! Haven for those with restricted diets, food allergies, Celiac, Paleo, etc. Delicious food, great coffee creations, friendly service, valet parking during peak times. Ask for the dirty chocolate or chai with your breakfast. Both really good.

Very cool home like store.
