The Americana breakfast and the hash with poblano peppers were fantastic! The zucchini bread was delicious and moist.
Stopped by for a quick weekday lunch date and it didn't disappoint! We got waffles with the blueberry compote on the side, mushroom toast and avocado toast. All of the dishes were fresh and perfectly balanced. Yum!
It wasn’t worth the price. We ordered:Bloody Mary: it was warm, it wasn’t shakenBasket of biscuits: the biscuits were bite size and dryChilaquiles: the salsa was too tangy and I love sour but it was bit muchAl pastor hash: it had only two pieces of potatoes, it was just ok
I had brunch on a busy Saturday, but since I was alone I was able to sit at the bar immediately. The latte was quite good. The coconut chia pudding was also good. The Pastrami Benny was great! I wasn’t expecting it. You might not think it possible, but that’s some good original cooking right there. Worth the visit. As an aside, I always forget to take pictures before I start eating. It’s not Forthright’s fault that the food pictures isn’t pretty. ?
Hi! I finally feel like reviewing places again. I was in Austin just this last weekend visited a few places. This one was one of them. Made a reservation online, easy. Didnt have the option of selecting indoors or outdoors, at least I did not see one. We arrived and I asked for a table indoors and didn't get it, and they had tables for 2 available. I was like, okay, no big deal. I would have preferred to be indoors as it has a nice indoor space. Food was okay, not amazing. Service was great and our drinks were too.
I don’t normally write too many reviews but this place used to be a favorite. They have limited service due to lack of staff, understandable but the eggs were cold (Ice cold)) the bacon was greasy, the bread like a brick. The attitude of “servers” aka delivery people was poor. I doubt I’ll go back after many visits pre Covid. Everyone has this problem in the hospitality industry and I’m sorry. It’s not acceptable.
Great servers, cute vibe, enough seating. The avocado was fresh and made correctly. Loved their breakfast and lattes. Get your avocado toast fix and eggs Benedicts. It’s super good!
First time at Forthright. The scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon were nothing super special but the french toast was really good. Good cappuccinos. I saw the avocado toast & chicken n waffles go by...those dishes looked amazing. Would like to go back to try more of the breakfast items.
So, on a cold day there's no breezeway/porte cochere, so when the door is opened everyone in the restaurant can get rather cold fairly quickly. Be forewarned. Some interesting and creative breakfast entrees, but our frustration came with being promptly seated then ignored for 10 minutes. Although this smallish spot with 14-18 tables seating 2 - 4 people appeared to be well-staffed, nobody would make eye contact or speak for 10 minutes. Sadly not the first time I've experienced this in my few days in Austin.
Food is good, but the staff is aloof and arrogant. There will be plenty of tables available, but they won't seat you (require a 30-min wait) to present an image of exclusivity. They foolishly won't take same day reservations. Staff members act busy and have conversations while tables are fully served but then fulfill incomplete/inaccurate to go orders. This childish behavior contradicts high quality service and will result in customers abandoning this place
