The comments cited below are a sample of the full tally across 30 threads.

What people say, in short

Most people recommend Paperboy for brunch, and many simply name it. It is recommended across its Austin outlets: most commenters who name an outlet mean the East Austin one, which is the address listed, and one commenter praises a newer South Lamar location. One diner calls the food tasty, another says the pancakes are still memorable, and one visitor likes the biscuits. Several advise booking well ahead, and one suggests a weekday visit because weekends get packed. The caveats: one diner found the burger and fries too rich, two commenters say Suerte is far better, and one of them calls Paperboy fine but not especially special.
