Easy Tiger - The Linc

Charcuterie, pastrami sandwiches, house-made sausages and pretzels the reviewer calls bigger than your head.1

Why go

One address, two rooms, and they open at different times. The cafe side does coffee and pastries early and the Infatuation's Raphael Brion notes it is a decent place to bring a laptop. The big covered beer garden behind it has ping pong tables and takes dogs and children, and that is where the charcuterie, pastrami sandwiches, house-made sausages and outsized pretzels land.1

Order this / avoid

  • Order: a pretzel, then the house-made sausages and the pastrami sandwich. All four are what the listing names.1

What locals & experts say

  • The Infatuation Austin, Raphael Brion, 25 May 2022: carried as a listing for the Linc branch specifically, with no score attached.1
  • The Infatuation page titled simply Easy Tiger is the original Sixth Street site, and it is marked permanently closed.

Good to know

  • Hygiene: Austin Public Health scores the kitchen 91, inspected 23 April 2026, register name Easy Tiger at 6406 N Interstate 35 Unit 110. The reading before it was 77 in November 2024. Austin scores on a 100-point demerit scale where higher is better and 70 is the failing line, so neither reading is a finding and the direction of travel is upward.2
  • Other branches: Easy Tiger also trades on East 7th and South Lamar, and Austin Public Health inspects each door separately, so their scores say nothing about this one.
  • Getting there: the Linc shopping centre on the northbound I-35 frontage road, in Highland.1

Verdict

could-visit — A bake shop and beer garden at the Linc in Highland, with the coffee-and-pastry counter open early and a big covered garden with ping pong behind it, dog- and kid-friendly. The order, per the Infatuation's listing for this branch, is charcuterie, pastrami sandwiches, house-made sausages and pretzels bigger than your head. It sits mid-ladder because the listing is unrated and dates from 2022, and the group's own menus could not be read.
