Mattie's At Green Pastures

Food, service and atmosphere is impeccable. Is a must visit if you like southern food. We ordered plenty of food. The bar makes exotic cocktails. We got the crispy cauliflower, salmon tartare and biscuits for appetizers. The biscuits were phenomenal. Then for mains we got the rib eye steak, pork chop , fried chicken steak and the seafood stew with shrimp and snapper. Everything was great but the pork chop just killed it. We also got kids chicken tenders and Mac and cheese which they loved. We were very full but for dessert we got the sundae and it was yum ! There were pretty peacocks 🦚 roaming around in the yard.

Brought my family here for a weekend brunch and absolutely enjoyed every moment of it. I rarely commend a brunch place about their coffee but Mattie’s really outdone themselves. Definitely try their milk puff french toast and their well known buttermilk biscuits. Also their burgers and seasonal bison benedict are very savory. Mattie’s requires advanced reservations so be sure to book your time! Will definitely come back for brunch and try their dinner!

Oh my goodness!!!! I’ve lived in Austin since 1981 and never made here when it was Green Pastures but I am so happy that I made it tonight to Mattie’s. From the Pimento cheese & Fried Green Tomatoes appetizers to our Back Porch Tea & 1965 Milk Punch drink to our Mattie’s Fried Chicken… oh and the Hummingbird Cake was a perfect ending to this well perfect dinner was Perfection! 😘 Everything we ordered & shared was just wonderful. We sat outside under the twinkle lights & a massive oak tree that was truly magnificent & beautiful! The old home is glorious!! This is a must date night, family night or just friends special night out place that you must put on you list! You won’t be disappointed 🥰.

My wife and I have been coming back here every year for our anniversary since we got married at Green Pastures. The service and food is top notch, buttermilk biscuits, crispy cauliflower, fried green tomatoes, little gem wedge, seared salmon, grilled pork ribs and the porch tea to drink are our favorites! We had leftovers so expect healthy servings. Now about the property, such a charming and quaint place in the middle of town. We usually eat outside to enjoy watching the peacocks but the weather was a bit cold so we sat inside. No complaints there, the house is well kept with a great vibe. Can’t go wrong with Mattie’s, cheers!!!

Mattie’s is a real southern gem. We absolutely adore the atmosphere. The property transports you back in time and you can easily imagine the family that used to live in the house walking through its halls. The food is sublime (fried chicken is a MUST for first timers). We’ll be back time and time again. I recommend ensuring you sit on the patio or indoors. If you sit in the picnic area you get quite removed from the rest of the restaurant and the service gets VERY slow. We’ve sat in the picnic area twice and this was the case both times. It’s not enough to ruin the experience, though. Mattie’s is an easy favorite that we strongly recommend.

Really different from what I'm used to, but it was a nice experience. I really loved the calm atmosphere. They were a bit busy when we arrived so we sat on the patio. It wasn't too hot with the misting fans and it was around 7PM. Service was a bit slow in the beginning....I think the host forgot to tell the server about us. But once we got their attention the service was great. I tried the fried green tomatoes which came with a crab salad, it was delicious and refreshing. For my main dish I got the fried chicken plate. The chicken was cooked to crispy perfection and seasoned well. The mashed potatoes were covered with bacon, cheese and butter, just the way I like it!! Overall great experience!

Mattie’s is so beautiful! Like walking into the old south! Formerly known as Green Pastures, Mattie’s kept me favorite drink on the menu - Milk Punch. A must-try alcoholic beverage made with brandy and ice cream. Served in small cups for a reason!! Brunch is amazing. Our group had the pimento cheese appetizer, followed by the Classic Breakfast, burgers, a Lobster Cobb (amazing!) and the Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict (I dream about this dish! ) Brunch was very busy but they were able to seat us inside the bar area (it was too hot outside). I think we were forgotten for a bit (this no 5 ⭐️ for service) but everyone was friendly and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!!

OMG! I have not been here in 30 years. Totally different restaurant concept, but the food is still amazing. I would characterize the restaurant as upscale southern cooking. The building is an old style southern mansion with peacocks roaming the grounds. The gumbo was outstanding although surprisingly spicy hot. Fried chicken perfectly seasoned and delicious.
