While many maps might lead you astray, fear not! The main entrance to Green Pastures is conveniently located off Live Oak Street and Bouldin Avenue. Just follow the winding path through the historic trees and you'll find yourself nestled in our idyllic setting.

We have ample parking on-site, with a spacious U-shaped driveway lining the property. Even if our lot is full, you can find free street parking on West Live Oak Street. Just a friendly reminder: due to our beloved historic trees, oversized vehicles over 10' high won't quite fit in.

Guests are welcome to leave their vehicles overnight. However, please ensure all vehicles are collected by 10 AM the following morning.

As you approach Mattie’s from the parking area, the entrance awaits you on the west side of the charming house. Look for the welcoming sandwich board sign with an arrow pointing you around to the proper entrance. Feeling a little more adventurous? We also have a fully accessible entrance on the north side with a ramp located behind the limestone wall. Just let our friendly host know if you need assistance.

Don't worry, Resy isn't against you! Sometimes, our tables might be unavailable due to the weather or a private event happening that day. Patience is a virtue - reservations open up 30 days in advance. And remember, online booking is only available for parties of seven or fewer. For larger groups, sending us an email at mail@mattiesaustin.com is the way to go!

Of course you can bring a cake! We love celebrating with you. There's a small $5 per person fee for outside desserts, but we're happy to present it beautifully, slice it up, and bring it to your table.

Our cozy main dining room allows for a more intimate experience. To maintain a comfortable atmosphere for everyone, we limit general indoor bookings to eight guests per party. But fear not, larger groups can still enjoy Green Pastures! Contact us through mail@mattiesaustin.com to explore private space options for your special gathering. On sunny days, we might be able to seat groups of 9-10 outdoors, weather permitting.

For larger groups, separate tables under the same reservation aren't guaranteed to be side-by-side. It's best to plan for an adventure and enjoy different corners of our charming space.

Unfortunately, Texas regulations prevent outside alcohol in places that sell spirits like ours. Don't fret! We have a fantastic wine list waiting to be discovered. Our friendly staff would be delighted to help you find the perfect bottle for your gathering.

Those magnificent peacocks have been gracing Green Pastures since the 1960s! They're free to roam the neighborhood, but always return home by sundown to roost in our majestic Live Oaks. We currently have around 17 of these feathered wonders, with the number growing each summer with new hatchlings. Fun fact: our white peacock, Hans (Solo), isn't albino, but leucistic!

We welcome photos of Mattie's beautiful exterior! You're free to snap pictures outside of our business hours, typically on Sundays after closing and all day Monday and Tuesday. On open days, feel free to take photos before service starts (prior to 3:00pm). Just remember that occasional evening events might adjust the schedule. Indoor photography requires a small fee and must be arranged outside of operating hours. Please contact mail@mattiesaustin.com for details.

Congratulations! We've hosted countless beautiful proposals, both intimate and elaborate. For private events held on closed days, please refer to our photo policy above. If you envision a larger setup, we'd love to collaborate with you! Reach out to mail@mattiesaustin.com and let's make your proposal dreams a reality.

Exciting news! We're building "The Inn at Green Pastures," a charming boutique hotel right here on the south side of the property. With 63 rooms and beautiful event spaces, it's a perfect spot for your upcoming celebrations. Stay tuned for its grand opening in Fall 2025!
