Honest Mary's - River Oaks

Honest Mary’s was founded by Mary and Nelson Monteith with a vision to create a genuinely healthy restaurant that matched their active and clean lifestyle. Despite Austin’s emphasis on healthy living and recreation, they noticed a clear lack of convenient options serving freshly prepared, health-conscious food. Determined to create a solution, they opened the first Honest Mary’s in Austin's Arboretum neighborhood in 2017.

The positive impact of the first store on guests and team members inspired Honest Mary’s to expand its footprint and team. In 2020, the second location opened in Rosedale. Soon after, Andrew Wiseheart, a friend and restaurateur of Contigo and Ladybird Taco, joined Honest Mary’s as a Co-Owner & COO, bringing decades of people-first restaurant experience and culinary excellence to help propel the company’s mission forward.

As Honest Mary’s continues to grow, the mission remains the same: to improve lives through nourishing food - one meal at a time.
