How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Southern
Sawyer & Co. is a mid-century diner on East Cesar Chavez serving chicken-fried classics, grits, and crawfish etouffee. The all-day menu runs from biscuits and pancakes to Creole plates, poured with strong coffee in a chrome-and-vinyl room. Its Southern and Cajun-Creole cooking makes it an easy weekend stop, one of the east side's most reliable comfort-food diners.

- Soul Food
Sawyer & Co. is a retro diner on East Cesar Chavez blending New Orleans cooking with Texan flavors. Crawfish etouffee, pork grillades over grits, and pain perdu fill a menu that leans Creole while staying all-day-breakfast friendly. The chrome-and-vinyl room and its Cajun-Creole leanings give it a foot in both Austin's soul-food and Southern camps.

- Brunch
Infatuation pick. A 1950s-diner-meets-Louisiana. Cajun scrambles with crawfish étouffée and pork carnitas benedict with queso and biscuits.
