Buffet culture is a somewhat curious creation.
Brunch is already sacred, but what if the meal became endless and you could fill your plate as much and as often as you wanted? This weekend tradition is a cure-all for hunger and hangovers alike. With the right combination of breakfast, lunch, and lots of drinks - anything is possible. This list will give you the deets on some of our favorite brunch buffets to hit in Austin.

Come hungry, leave in need of a nap.

Gospel Brunch and build your own Bloody Mary bar? Hallelujah! Brunch here is like a party in itself. Stubb’s has a ridiculously large menu of morning bbq crowd-pleasers, so anyone you’re dining with will be able to find something they want to get after. Brunchers have the pleasure of Southern-style grits, migas, fried catfish, and BBQ brisket. You may need to move your belt out a notch.

There is something about brunch that makes us feel like our best selves, even when we’re quite literally the opposite. Forget the "no carbs" thing for one day and scoop yourself a hearty spoonful of chili homemade mac 'n' cheese. Moonshine isn’t your typical menu, think of comfort food with a twist and the perfect starting point for a half speed day with the gang. We’d pay a cover charge for the smell alone.

The Omni is a great spot to treat out-of-towners, but you also don’t need visitors to justify a meal here. Somewhere between the hash browns, biscuits and gravy, and hot cakes, you’ll feel right at home. Open daily for a breakfast-y brunch buffet, enjoy the art of omelets and other classic favorites at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa.
