Updated Oct. 5: Citizen Eatery will open at the end of October, according to a news release.

The menu, developed by Chef Andrew Brooks of Spirited Food, will offer vegetarian and vegan cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dishes include house-made veggie burgers, seasonal entrees and shareable sides.

The restaurant will also offer a full bar, including a selection of local beers on tap, a full wine list, and signature cocktails made with cold-pressed organic juices, botanical blends, and Kombucha.




Burnet Road will have a new vegetarian restaurant come early October.

Austin resident Michael Moyer plans to open Citizen Eatery in the space of the former 416 Bar and Grill—which closed July 16—at 5011 Burnet Road, Austin.

Moyer said the restaurant will specialize in veggie burgers and will use bold flavors on all of its menu items. Ingredients will be local and organic, with many vegan dishes and some paleo dishes offered.

The restaurant will also have a full bar, and breakfast will be served all day.  Restaurant hours will be 8 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. and 8 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday through Saturday.

“What we’re serving, what we’re bringing out of the kitchen, is good for you,” Moyer said.
