Austin Restaurant Fixe Is Expanding With New Southern Cafe
Hissy Fit: A New Casual Southern Cafe in the Arboretum
A beloved Austin restaurant, the upscale downtown Southern eatery, Fixe Southern House, is spreading its wings. This fall, it is embarked on an expansion journey, bringing a new casual cafe, coined Hissy Fit, to the northwest section of Austin in the Arboretum at 9761 Great Hills Trail. Co-owners Chef James Robert and Keith House have described this venture as Fixe’s “sassy little sister,” echoing the playful, light-hearted nature of the new establishment.
All-Day Casual Dining Experience
Hissy Fit is designed to cater to a wide range of gastronomies, right from the break of dawn till late in the evening, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even brunch. A trip to the café promises an assortment of mouthwatering baked goods including their famed biscuits and cinnamon rolls which are an experience to be had. Additionally, the menu will comprise a variety of sandwiches, salads, and bowls to cater to patrons who desire more savory offerings.
Drinks and More
Dining out is never complete without a befitting drink to wash down the meal. To this utmost priority, Hissy Fit hasn’t turned a blind eye. Alongside the food items, the café will also provide a drinks menu to accommodate all manner of tastes. Patrons can expect coffee, espresso, house-pressed juices, and a selection of cocktails. All items will be available for dine-in or takeout, underscoring Hissy Fit’s focus on convenience and customer satisfaction.
The Legacy of Fixe
Established in 2014, Fixe has already made a remarkable mark in Austin’s culinary scene with their upscale Southern-style dining and unique ambiance. Its indoor space, designed to replicate an alfresco patio, provides a refreshing dining environment. In 2018, the restaurant further expanded its footprint into Fort Worth, demonstrating their success and popularity among Southern food enthusiasts.
Hissy Fit: The Next Step
Now, Fixe is taking the bold step of introducing an entirely new concept with Hissy Fit. Still grounded in their Southern roots, the café promises a more laid-back, casual dining experience. Whether for breakfast with a hot steaming cup of coffee, a leisurely lunch, a relaxed dinner, or a brunch meeting with friends and family, Hissy Fit is primed to become the next go-to destination in Austin’s dynamic restaurant scene. It is anticipated that the restaurant will live up to its name by creating an unforgettable dining experience for all its patrons.
