The genteel culture of the Old South is preserved at this elegant dining room serving nouveau continental cuisine. Occupying the circa-1894 childhood home of humorist John Henry Faulk, Green Pastures retains the charm of an earlier era. The subdued interior is elegant and old-fashioned, with carved fireplaces, antique furniture and long, sweeping drapes at the tall windows. Large live oaks,...
"Classic dining" turns up at this "venerable" 1894 Bouldin Creek estate – ranked No. 1 for Decor in Austin – where peacocks stroll the "lovely" grounds, and the "beautiful" setting is a mainstay for weddings and celebratory Sunday brunches; in comparison, some find the "expensive" Continental cuisine "ordinary", although coddling service and the signature milk punch make it an "old Texas...
Peacocks strolling through the seven tree-shaded acres enliven this Victorian mansion turned intimate and romantic restaurant. The kitchen, armed with the difficult task of trying to match the dramatic ambience, succeeds. The French-inspired cuisine is enhanced with fresh, regional ingredients, the results of which consistently present a dining experience that rivals any in Austin. The tempura...
Peafowl roam the grounds of this century-old Victorian house. It used to be owned by the family of John Henry Faulk. He put an end to Hollywood blacklisting in the '50s. Now it's a Southern charm-style restaurant that has been anointed one of the top 100 in the world by James Beard. Its waiters with a butler’s flair serve seared duck breast to purebreds with deep pockets. Or wedding parties...

Excellent Sunday brunch. The brunch buffet is extensive and the food is amazing. It is more fancy than most Austin brunch spots, but there is plenty of variety to satisfy less adventurous diners.
An amazing spot for Sunday brunch to get away from the city for a bit without really leaving the city. The charming 1800’s house sits on 7 acres with 35+/- peacocks roaming the property. The traditional southern milk punch with bourbon, rum, and brandy was memorable and something worth making a return trip for! A tip from the waiter was...
Great place for an employer to take a candidate for a job. Nice setting in an historic old building. Excellent food although a little on the expensive side. It's especially good when someone else is picking up the tab.
I bought a groupon for G.P. that was $75 for a three-course meal for two people. It was for my mom's 80th birthday, so I was hoping to wow her. Instead, I was "so-so'ed" . :(
The appetizer I got was a brie and fig sandwich - which was more like a grilled cheese. And the appetizer (for one) was...
LOVED IT!. We had a wonderful brunch at Green Pastures Restaurant with new friends! The place was beautiful with peacocks roaming the grounds, the service was impeccable, and it was the best buffet I've had outside of Vegas in years! Plus they had candied bacon!

Green Pastures began its 64-year tradition of elegant dining rather quietly. But friends told friends, and the word spread. Austin's neighborhood retreat quickly became known citywide as the place to enjoy sumptuous gourmet dishes, fine wine and true Southern hospitality. Some secrets are simply too good to keep.
Buffet, Brunch, Regional: In 1945, the Koock family mansion (1894) was converted into a restaurant and has been a favorite place for special occasions ever since. Offering gracious Southern hospitality, the establishment serves American cuisine with Texas flair. Appetizing dishes include shrimp-stuffed veal, redfish with blue crab, and duck Texana with bacon and blackberry sauce. Outstanding...

Southern-style cooking is often thought of as down-home, but at this restaurant, home is a plantation. Relaxing over brunch on the veranda, one almost expects to see Scarlett O'Hara floating by in a hoop skirt. The brunch buffet is always full to groaning with everything from boiled shrimp to a standing rib roast, carved to order. The dinner menu may be traditional, but all the entrees are...
Don't miss the $35 Sunday buffet brunch, boasting shrimp cocktail, prime rib and a bevy of desserts.
The restaurant can be rented out for weddings or other special events, holding up to 300 people.
