We are passing through town and I always use Yelp to find the best spots to eat. This spot came up as locally owned and rated very high so we decided to give it a try. This particular location does not have parking which is a bummer so 2 to 3 dollars for a couple of hours of parking is not bad. Also upon entry, the host was a bit smug. She wasn't terribly friendly, but she sat us right away. The waiter, on the other hand was as friendly as they come! I forgot his name but he made great recommendations and our food came out within 10 minutes. I originally ordered the shrimp and grits but failed to see that it contained chorizo so I had to send it back and settle for the fried chicken and grits. Both dishes that we had, below were amazing! My six-year-old devoured everything. No crumbs left behind! read more

Surprisingly, at noon on a Saturday we were able to get seated immediately. They do not take reservations but we were able to bring 16 people, including some kids and strollers. The service was very quick and everyone was extremely friendly. I got the chorizo hash, which is basically a kind of fall harvest bowl with egg and guac. It was tasty and the perfect size for one person. The smoked beet hash also got good words from my friends. The spinach salad with chicken was a disappointment since the chicken was dry and the salad too plain. The brussel sprouts had good flavor but they were a bit too crispy for my taste. There's street parking across the place! Overall, a good experience and perhaps I'll be back to try one of their omelets. read more

Came here with a group of friends for brunch and while there was a waitlist the service was wonderful and the food worth it! A server even came outside and offered to bring us cocktails while we waited to get seated. I got the chorizo hash which was delish, I tried my friend's food as well and everything was savory. The bananas foster French toast was SO GOOD! Def recommend checking this diner out. read more

I recently stumbled upon Phoebe's Diner on Memorial Day and what a pleasant surprise! We walked in around 2PM, not knowing they closed at 3PM. We were seated right away and the service was great. I ordered their fried chicken biscuit and shared a blood orange mimosa pitcher with a friend. I'm a major fan of friend chicken and biscuits - these were seriously top tier! Be sure to get the gravy on the side, it's perfectly spices and I ended up dipping, well everything in there. The fried chicken was abundantly seasoned and the biscuit was EXCELLENT, flaky, cheesy, simply amazing. Even the potatoes were fire, though not a priority on the plate. read more

First time here and this is a place where we will definitely be returning when I'm in Austin again. This place was busy but the wait wasn't long at all. Service was quick and friendly and the food was excellent, my spouse had the fried chicken (best fried chicken I've ever had) and grits and I had the chicken Cesar wrap with fries and out appetizer was their biscuit. I was happy with everything read more

We were in Austin for the weekend just as a last minute get away! Saw this restaurant on Yelp for breakfast and had great readings ! When we arrived we were seated promptly! The waiter was very friendly and personal. My wife ordered the corn bread for a appetizer! It was served with a strawberry jam, a jalapeño jelly, and butter! The cornbread was excellent and very tasty! It was 4 of us and I almost ordered another order. My two daughters had the special: Brioche French Toast with blueberry sausage! Now I know that sausage sounds weird but it was amazing ( not sweet at all but very savory). The French toast required no syrup and was served with fruit on top and cinnamon sugar crunch! I has the crab and crawfish Benedict! It's not your average Benny, more of a crab and crawfish patty with hollandaise sauce and eggs on top. But by no means does it change how delicious it was! My wife Hd the chorizo hash! Deep flavors with eggs on top ( anyway you want it prepared). I also had coffee that was very smooth and not too strong and my wife had a mimosa that she enjoyed as well! I am glad we tried this place out as it was a delight! read more

This was a popular brunch spot on Yelp so I had to check it out. When my boyfriend and I arrived it was pretty crowded outside, a lot of people waiting for a table. We added our name to the waitlist which moved really quickly; we were #26 but got called to be sat. We started with south first tots and 2 cocktails. I forget the names but I had a clementine margarita and my bf had a spiked coffee drink. The tots were extremely hearty but very good. The drinks were tasty. I had the fried chicken biscuit with a side of sausage gravy and my bf had the chicken sandwich (fried). The fried chicken was soooo good. My meal came with roasted potatoes which were good but I would've preferred fries or home fries, still good nonetheless. Our server was so nice. We really really enjoyed our meal. This is a solid breakfast/brunch spot and I would regularly come here if we were local. read more

Phoebe's Diner - South First Street Tots, clementine margarita and spiked coffee (forgot the actual cocktail names) - Diners Near Me - Austin, Texas

The food was excellent as always, this time I had the brisket burrito. It was delicious, the meat was cooked just right. The service was also excellent very attentive the young lady that took our order and also the other people that helped her bring the food out. The area is not as small as you would think but it has an old diner feel which is very welcoming. Overall it's a very good place for breakfast and lunch. read more

Food was delicious. Had the chorizo, shrimp and grits. It had a kick! Service was good. Ambiance was downtown and locals. Definitely coming back read more

Great atmosphere, check out their downtown location !! Delicious pancakes and badass bacon! Don't wait, go today :)

Got the Eggs Benedict and the ham was extremely over cooked that it was brown and dry. Potato hash isn't even your typical breakfast potatoes but mashed potatoes. Very little flavor. read more

Cast: - 4 people - 1:30 PM - Monday Food Adventures: - Brussels Sprouts: Topped with aioli sauce and cheese, crisped to perfection. If you don't like mayo, skip the sauce. But honestly, I'd order this again. So tasty. The best part of our meal. - 1/2 Order of Biscuits and Gravy: Not your traditional plate. The biscuits are made in-house, square. They have a heavy herb and spice flavor, but way too much salt. High hopes, dashed dreams. Skip it and try something else. - Deep-Fried French Toast: Looks and sounds good. And they are... for something fried. I wouldn't order again, but if you like fried food, you might enjoy it. It's a massive slice of bread. - Kids' Grilled Cheese: Came burnt but they remade it. Tasty, buttery, and good. Perfect for a little one who loves grilled cheese and doesn't mind a wait. - Pancakes with Added Strawberries: Tasty, fluffy, and delicious. But very small. More like pancake tapas. -the only downside the total: $48 and we still left hungry. Parking Misadventures: This place was walking distance from our hotel, but we opted to drive since we weren't familiar with the area. Parking was not easy. I'd recommend walking if you can. We even talked about taking a scooter next time. Despite everything, I'd be willing to give this place another try if the family was on board. Atmosphere: Clean, friendly, loud, with comfy booths. Our waitress was very friendly. However, the real entertainment was at the next table, where a couple was basically undressing and making out. The woman was sucking his finger and making "the face" while doing it. That was a fun show for our kids....I know this has nothing to do with the restaurant or food, but it was part of our experience. Maybe the show turned us off the food. Who knows? Verdict: Phoebe's Diner is a cute place with a diner feel and diner food. Come for the Brussels sprouts, stay for the people-watching (or not). Maybe you'll have better luck with the people. I would come back and give it another try and order different items. read more

For little wait, make sure you add yourself to the Yelp waitlist. We did so when we were strolling down at the capitol building. We ended up with a table outside. It is a very busy place. Deep fried French toast was amazing. The "star" of the breakfast menu for sure. Whipped cream and decadent. Taquitos salad was pathetic. The salad was small and we probably should have ordered something else. The restroom wait is long so I would recommend planning accordingly. I think there are only 2 restrooms which makes it difficult when you have to go. For a place serving this many people, they may want to add more stalls. read more

Yummy! I was in town for a conference and my boyfriend and I were grabbing an early breakfast before the event started, which led us to Phoebe's at open on a Thursday morning. We were greeted and sat quickly by the friendly staff. The restaurant itself was very cute, very farmhouse-chic which I didn't necessarily expect based on the outside or surroundings. We each started with a Vietnamese coffee--it was fine, but far from my favorite Vietnamese coffee I've ever had. I had the smoked beet hash and added brisket to it, and my boyfriend had the migas with chorizo. My hash was very tasty, super smoky, and a huge bowl of food. The egg was cooked nicely and the brisket was excellent. A huge huge huge guacamole fan, I surprised even myself when I told my boyfriend that the guacamole did not belong on this dish. It was the only cold item and everything else was piping hot--which resulted in a weird semi-warm guac. My boyfriend liked his migas, but he did not receive the chorizo with it (he ultimately was fine with this). The potatoes were definitely the standout, and the rest of the dish he said was good. We'd eat here again for sure; I've got my eye on that scotch egg! read more

What can't I say about Phoebe's Diner: staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, restaurant was clean and inviting, and food was amazing! I went by myself on Saturday afternoon and even though it was very busy, I was sat within 5 minutes at 2-person booth. I knew what I wanted to order since I had looked at the reviews and quickly put my order in for the Fried Chicken and Grits, and French Toast. Both were delicious but the must get item is the Fried Chicken and Grits; so nicely balanced with the spice, sweetness, and savory. (I added whipped cream and strawberries to my French toast for an up-charge but wasn't worth it) They started to get a little less busy so I pulled out a little solo game while I finished my food and the staff never rushed me. I took half of my food to go and it was very tasty the next day! Can't wait to come back and bring friends read more

Absolutely looooved eating here, what a great experience. The service was incredible, and everything was so delicious. Biscuits were so tasty, tater tots were great, and the cornbread with apple butter and habanero jam was amazing. I was a little concerned when they had "goat cheese grits" but they were actually so so good and I would eat several bowls of them if given the chance. Our waiter even let us have a taster of the grits before ordering which was so sweet. Will be coming back without a doubt read more

Great service. Friendly staff with good suggestions. Ate brunch on a Monday with 3 people. Place very empty. They were obviously readying for lunch rush. I had a Benny and my dad had hash. Another person had crab cake (maybe a Benny). Very yummy. Wish I couple have tried a drink too - but i was driving. Parking is not easy here. read more

We are in town for a few days and visited Phoebe's for the gf fried chicken and grits which were DELICIOUS!!! My husband, who can eat whatever, absolutely enjoyed his meal as well. The cherry on top was the wonderful service we received especially from our server who I believe was name Jana? All in all a 20/10 experience!!! read more

This was an unexpected delight for my family and I, we had a quick trip to Austin for the weekend and took a walk that lead to Aranza and the team at Phoebe's. The service Aranza gave was warm, welcoming and just comfortable all around. The food, WOW, that was unexpected fun and flavorful to say the least. I don't recall the last time I was so full from breakfast I had to try everyone's and they tried mine. The bevs were a nice touch too. The team reflected Aranza's initial zeal and smile can't wait to go back might have a special trip just to try lunch! read more

1000%. Food is fire. Fast, and I mean LIGHTNING fast service, friendly, and fun!!! The southwest tots were incredible as well as the brisket biscuits and gravy. Lemonade and Horchata, on point!! The bacon slab was the best bacon I've ever had in my life and the cornbread too!! read more

It is great that you can add yourself to a waitlist through yelp. The service there has been consistently positive. The food is good. Would go back. But not in my top picks. Would recommend if you want great variety of food options. read more

Insane. Ever since coming here, I have not NOT craved their food. The brisket benny was massive. It had hollandaise and bbq sauce and some thick slices of brisket. The bread was also thick and sopped up all the sauce nicely. It came with hashbrown casserole that was just beautiful. I also got a side of goat cheese grits and wow, everyone needs to have a spoonful of these. They are so creamy and not too thick. Seems a little basic but so good. I got the apple cider mimosa because it was a special at the time and it was pretty sweet. The rim was caramel and brown sugar (I think) but regardless it was sweet. I don't know why I ordered it because this was my hungover meal if we are being honest, but I don't regret it. read more

What a gem. Fast service and the nicest staff. The fried green tomato BLT is fricken fantastic, and the side of tater tots brings back my childhood self. For those looking more for breakfast, the chorizo hash is large and full of flavor. A couple of notes - they don't do more than a regular cup of coffee so if your a big cappuccino or latte fan, you will be out of luck but trust me it will be worth it. Also they don't do reservations but they do a waitlist through Yelp. It can be up to an hour on a Saturday or Sunday so add that into your equation. read more

A humble joint for homey Southern food. Staff are just as sweet as its food. The server kindly allowed me to hold a table for my friends as they were running late, which is usually not allowed. Other staff also checked in on our party on a frequent basis. Food was solid. Standard American brunch fare with a Southern twist of course. The banana French toast was the best dish we ordered. It wasn't too sweet (surprisingly!) and I enjoyed the banana, maple, and almond flavors. Bread also had a slight crunch and was fluffy inside despite us leaving it out until the very end. If you're tired of hyped-up and over the top brunch places, Phoebe's Diner is it. read more
