What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Bouldin Creek Cafe for its scratch-made vegan patties finished with a chipotle pesto, plus a pasta margarita, according to CultureMap Austin. The eco-conscious, Bohemian-style cafe has served meat-free food in South Austin since 2000, and CultureMap Austin describes it as one of the few Austin restaurants that still feels like an old-school diner despite its all-vegetarian menu. The episode, "Dirty, Crunchy, Sticky and Veggie," aired September 19, 2025. Bouldin Creek Cafe is also listed in the Hot Restaurant List's Austin rankings.

In September 2026, the cafe's website listed an online ordering option, a waitlist signup, community-involvement programming, and a request that guests with food allergies call ahead, according to bouldincreekcafe.com. The cafe's website also promotes a printable PDF menu and links to its Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram pages, according to bouldincreekcafe.com.
