About

THE GREY MARKET AUSTIN

Join us for breakfast, lunch or something on-the-go

Located right downtown, on the ground level of the Thompson and Tommie Hotels, The Grey Market Austin has a foundation in the Port-City Southern food embraced by its sister The Grey Restaurant in Savannah, Georgia.

A community gathering place

The Grey Market Austin features counter-service, display cases filled with baked goods, grab-and-go items, pantry staples and provisions. Take a seat on our “hot line” lunch counter or a table while taking in the downtown Austin scene outside.
