Treat the woman who packed hundreds of school lunches for you to a Mother's Day brunch at one of Austin's best restaurants. Our city already offers plenty of fantastic brunch spots to enjoy every weekend, but restaurants across town are kicking it up a notch with special dishes and multi-course meals to celebrate the woman who made you. Whether your mom loves Italian food or sushi, these Mother's Day brunches are sure to say "thanks" for all those PB&J sandwiches she made you.

We're already fans of Emmer & Rye's brunch menu (have you seen their pastry cart?), but it's also a perfect place to take mom for a special meal. Their prix-fixe special includes a three-course meal (think soft scramble with caviar and crab Benedict), plus complimentary bubbles or mimosas.

Jeffrey's

Brunch at Jeffrey's is no small feat—the spread here starts off with a seafood tower, then moves on to prime ribeye, truffled deviled eggs, made-to-order lemon ricotta pancakes and, well, it just keeps going (including a complete dessert bar). You'll have to roll mom out of here, but it's worth it. $85 per person, 10am-3pm
