These are the blue plate specials, the streamlined steaks, and the laborer's lunch pail. Indeed, the Bakehouse Restaurant's food is classic diner food, designed for the everyday American who wants an inexpensive meal, yet who nevertheless craves the honest, homemade flavors of mama's cooking, whatever nationality that may be. And all of the foods at the Bakehouse are homemade. Pies and quiches are made fresh daily. Breakfasts, however, are where the Bakehouse truly shines.
Biscuits are homemade.
The bacon is always thick and crispy. The hash browns don't come frozen, but, rather, are made of real potatoes, cooked skin-on, then grilled to order with every meal. In fact, the hollandaise sauce arrived at our table bubbling, and slightly parched from too much time spent under a heat lamp. The gravy is made with a chicken stock base and smothers two large, crumbly biscuits. Located in far South Austin, The Bakehouse Restaurant is one of those rare places that locals have known about and loved for years, but has remained a secret from the larger community of newcomers.
