    Solid 4. My friend and I were eating outdoor, I noticed lots of dogs hair on the tables, the same homeless woman passed tables a few times.... Our server was attentive. Food was good. I ordered migas. The best part ware potatoes, honestly. Nothing special. The only reason I went to meet my friend at this place is the reviews. Good reviews. Not my favorite though.

    -Badass Bacon & Eggs-
    Athena H.

    I was in the mood for classic diner-style breakfast, and after seeing so many great reviews, we decided to give Phoebe's Diner a try. From the moment we walked in, the hostess gave us a warm welcome, and we were seated right away. It took our server a little while to get to our table, but she arrived with waters in hand, which was appreciated. We started with the fried green tomatoes. They were good, though I've definitely had better back home in Houston. For my entrée, I ordered the Badass Bacon Plate, and it absolutely hit the spot. Everything on the plate was delicious, from the thick-cut slab of bacon to the perfectly cooked scrambled eggs. I especially appreciated that the eggs were seasoned before cooking, something I don't often see at restaurants, and it really made a difference. The hash brown casserole was also fantastic and tied the whole meal together. My brother ordered the fried chicken biscuit and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Although our server was clearly very busy, the restaurant had a great team approach. Other staff members checked on us, refilled drinks, and made sure we had everything we needed, so we never felt neglected. Overall, it was a great dining experience with delicious food, friendly hospitality, and excellent teamwork. I would definitely recommend Phoebe's Diner if you're looking for a satisfying breakfast or brunch in Austin.

    -Badass Bacon & Eggs amazing!  I cheated and used their photo.  I regret not taking my own. I will next time!

    Our first visit to Phoebe's Diner definitely won't be our last! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome with their friendly service and warm hospitality. The restaurant was spotless, and even the restroom was exceptionally clean, which says a lot about the pride they take in their establishment. The food was absolutely worth every penny. I highly recommend the Badass Bacon and eggs, it was delicious! My daughter ordered the Smoked Turkey on a Pretzel, and she loved every bite. We both took it to go but was happy and impressed with our meals. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend giving Phoebe's Diner a try. We can't wait to come back! The pictures belong to Phoebe's Diner but we sadly take our own. We will next time.

    -Cornbread Muffins-

    If you're looking for a solid brunch spot with something on the menu for everyone, this is it! I love the sweet and savory options. They're both so creative and the portions are huge. Definitely start off with one of their appetizers. We were deciding between the tots and cornbread and opted for the cornbread. I liked that it came with 3 different spreads! The cornbread itself was well baked and sweet. The flapjacks were cooked good and fruit was very generous. The star of the show was definitely the chorizo hash. I loved how healthy and tasty it was! Slightly spicy but not too bad. Service was friendly and prompt. Food came out super fast as well.

    My partner loves American diners. I found Phoebe's Diner on Yelp. We walked in and immediately felt at ease because the decor had a bio-filik, farm-chic vibe. My favorite part was that the restaurant was really clean, and we were seated right away. We looked at the menu, which offered many options. We ordered El Chango because it was on the seasonal menu, along with the green chorizo hash. The El Chango was like a cheeky monkey with a Scotch egg on a bed of avocado verde salsa. My partner really liked it because it was small enough to feel satisfying before lunch, and my chorizo hash was really good. It was healthier than I expected. I asked for the masa balls on the side and the cheese to be served separately. My meal was so well balanced that I was excited to eat it and look forward to ordering it again.

    My wife and I came here for Sunday Brunch and really enjoyed our time here. I ordered the Migas and she ordered the shrimp and grits. My Migas were outstanding! I loved the hollandaise sauce on the eggs, the potatoes were cooked perfectly, but the crispy masa cakes were the real stars of the show. I also had to order some pancakes and they were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, also they were amazing! My wife said that was the best shrimp and grits she's ever had and the bartenders who served us were so very nice. They gave us some excellent recommendations and we will definitely be back.

    this place was absolutely amazing. from the drinks to the food yes yes and yum yummmm. a must try is the cheeky monkey. the fried green tomatoes... some of the best. my sister got the omelet 10/10.

    Brisket breakfast burrito

    So I was heading out of town going back home and my buddy called wanting to have breakfast. I looked up this location and the pictures looked pretty good. So decided to head over there and tried out. Once I got through the place was really nice, really clean and it was extremely packed.We waited about five minutes for a table, and they sat us down at four cedar. The server was really helpful.Brought us a menu.Everything looked pretty good.I decided to order the brisket burrito.It looked pretty good and he recommended it. I'm gonna start off by saying I got my meal about 10 minutes later. The potatoes were excellent loved. Em didn't have any complaints about Em. They tasted awesome. They were great now. On the other hand the burrito, not so much. The burrito was soggy, something was off with the meat. It tasted kind of bitter. I don't know if it was because of the barbecue sauce or what I ate about.Half of it before I couldn't eat it anymore. And I tossed it the other half. I was extremely disappointed with the meal.I paid about twenty four twenty five dollars.I believe for the meal and had to throw half of it away.Because it just didn't taste right.I didn't wanna make an issue. It looked phenomenal, just didn't taste like that. The other gripe I had was, I took a bite out of some of the burrito and noticed that it was a big glob of fat. Instead of actual brisket meat I probably should have stuck with the regular, which would have been bacon and eggs.But decided to try that.Because the way to recommended it sad I didn't stay with the eggs and bacon. Brisket burrito 2 outa 10 thats being generous Potatoes 5 outa 10 Wait staff 7 outa 10 he was slammed with tables Would I come back probably 50/50 chance to try the eggs and bacon In the picture it looks tasty but in actuality not so much

    -Cheeky Monkey-
    Tope O.

    Great experience at Phoebe's Diner! The Cheeky Monkey and Brisket Benny were both savory and delicious. A huge standout was the French Toast,it tasted lovely and reminded me almost of a funnel cake! If you love a bold cup of coffee, the Café du Monde is a must-order. The Nitrochata was okay but a bit too mellow for my taste. Despite it being very busy, the staff was super friendly and kept things moving. I'll definitely be back!

    This spot has amazing food and the flavors are awesome! Service was fast and friendly and we wish we had more time to come back for more! Keep up the great work guys! Place is clean and they give you stuff for your kids to do before the food comes!

    If you have been to their location off of Oltorf, identical menus as expected. However, this location has a much larger seating capacity and more abundant parking. The food is delicious as usual. I went with my usual Big Bacon and Eggs. They had some specials going on, but I couldn't pass up on the big slab of bacon. Service seemed kind of busy due to the amount of people here. The ambiance of the facility is really nice. It felt very open and a lot of lighting with all the windows. The staff here are friendly as their other location.

    Everything about Phoebe's is right...the location, the people, the food and of course family...wife and her sister eat here about every other month and the boys were invited this round...I have tried several menu items in the past but this one stood out..direct from the Menu! Poblano pepper stuffed with scrambled eggs and smoked cheddar, coated in crushed red corn tortilla chips and panko breadcrumbs, served over ranchero sauce, topped with creme fraiche, cotija cheese and cilantro, red potatoes...this was an epic dish...the crunch on the outside was fantastic...eggs fluffy and delicious...sauce made for a perfect bite...it will definitely be a challenge Not to order this again next visit!

    Took a trip to Austin to see our son and asked him about this place. His response, "I've always wanted to try it, but it always has a line out the door." Well, we lucked out - apparently it's dead in Austin during the holidays. I had looked at the wrong location online and thought they had outdoor seating, so we brought the pup along, but when we arrived, I realized the mistake I made. I thought we'd have to get back in the Uber and find something else, but nope - bring that cute fella inside was offered! Score - dog friendly indeed! Service was excellent - drinks were never empty, and empty dishes were picked up quickly. Ensuring our food was to our satisfaction also occurred. The food was great! We opted to share the cornbread muffins to start. I opted for the fried chicken and grits. I loved the maple hot sauce - perfect balance of sweet heat. The pickled chilis were also a great addition to have some acid balance. The chicken was moist with a delightfully crispy breading, and the grits were perfect. Maybe a touch too much salt, but that's being nitpicky. I'd for sure come here again!

I ordered the migas, and the amount of onions in the dish was overwhelming--so much so that it felt like I had ordered a plate of onions rather than migas.

The sauce was extremely rich, making it difficult to enjoy or finish the meal. That said, the restaurant itself is adorable, and our waiter was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were both great. While this breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I'll still return and stick with favorites like the fried green tomatoes and taquito salad, which were excellent during my previous visit.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. My daughter and I both ordered the chicken fried chicken, and she substituted the collard greens for mac and cheese. The sausage gravy served with the chicken fried chicken was a little unexpected, but I actually enjoyed the subtle kick of spice it had. The collard greens weren't for me, but that's more of a personal preference since I've never been a fan. The mac and cheese, however, felt like it was missing something. Maybe it was the blend of cheeses, but it wasn't the classic, ooey-gooey diner-style mac and cheese we were hoping for. My brother ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffles had a fermented aroma and tangy flavor that caught us off guard. After speaking with the manager, she explained that they're made with a sourdough batter. While that may appeal to some people, it just wasn't his favorite. Overall, we had a good experience thanks to the outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere. The food simply didn't match our personal tastes. That said, the restaurant was absolutely packed, so they're clearly doing something right. I would still recommend giving 24 Diner a try because everyone's palate is different, and their unique flavors may be exactly what you're looking for.

The eggs were cooked over well, way over well. Ok. Things happen. The hash was not fresh at all. Really quite soggy. Ok, so guessing it may have been cooked a day or two prior to ordering. Not well prepared, but not the end of the world, right? Here's the thing: there was an unmistakable flavor of rubber and/or plastic. This was the predominant flavor. I simply couldn't eat it. Maybe a wrapper or some other foreign item was inadvertently added. The small dish of watermelon, strawberry and pineapple was ok. This, with tip, was $65.00 just had water to drink. Wonder if they used to be good and have just fallen off, but IMHO not worth it at all.

My beautiful girlfriend, traveling home from Vancouver, had a morning layover in Austin just recently on a weekday, and I got us a reservation to Paperboy East. Compared to the weekends, their schedule was a lot more open. On the weekends it can be nearly impossible to get a spot unless it's a few weeks in advance. We had a reservation at 8 am right when they opened, and when we walked in, we were seated immediately. The place looks like a modern twist on the old-school diners your grandparents love. There's also an upstairs and downstairs patio. Plenty of space! We were sat at one of the two-person tables. To start, I ordered their house drip coffee while my girlfriend got their "Lil Remi," an iced cappuccino with salted caramel. The black coffee was excellent and flavorful, while my girlfriend thought her Lil Remi was like a milkier shaken espresso that she really liked. From their starters, we ordered their Blueberry Lemon Pop Tart to share. I am a sucker for a homemade Pop Tart, and the jam on the inside was extremely fresh, and the icing and crust of the Pop Tart itself was sturdy and full of flavor. For our entrees, I ordered their Texas Hash with added avocado while my girlfriend ordered their famous Paperboy Pancake with chocolate chips as a full breakfast with bacon and two over-hard eggs. It wasn't a long wait at all to get our food. The Texas hash looked great and was presented quite nicely, which is a shame because I immediately proceeded to mash it all together to make sure every bite had a perfect balance of the roasted pork, sweet potatoes, egg, and avocado. It was very filling and substantial, which is great because I needed it to last me up to dinner. The pancake is the star of the show and is worth the order alone. The flying saucer they serve rises like a cake in the oven and is extremely fluffy. She was surprised with how it was a traditional pancake but loved how moist it was for its size. A perfect pancake to her. A perfect pancake to me because she couldn't finish it, so I took it to go and ate the last few bites immediately after dropping her off at the airport. For being an upscale diner in the prime area of Austin, I knew Paperboy was going to be pricey, but I honestly thought that it would crack $100 before tip between the two of us. I was very happy to see it was not even close to that and cost us about $80 with tip. To me, that felt fair for Austin, and I would pay that price any day of the week for a breakfast like we had. I've had a few of the locally owned brunch and breakfast spots in Austin and concur with the masses that this sits strongly at the top of the list. Best pancakes, best atmosphere, and the best times.

The ambiance in here is warm and inviting, there is a lot of natural light in here. It did get a little hot sitting at the table near the door but otherwise it felt nice in here. I ordered the chicken & biscuit along with a cheddar hash brown. I thought the food was pretty pricey but again this is Austin. The chicken was crispy, but a bit more crispy than you think it is. I had some parts where I felt like I was eating chicken jerky but the flavor was nice. I enjoyed the hot honey sauce on the chicken. The biscuit was harder than I expected it to be. Overall the food here was fine, a bit on the pricier side. Also, the parking here is limited as it is all street parking in an alley.

I didn't want to send it back because I was with a large group and didn't want to wait. - chips and salsa: chips were stale even after we asked for a different basket; the salsa was either out of a jar or out of a can similar to what you can find at any local grocery store. - Colleagues of mine reported that their dishes were either cold or without any sort of flavor. I was genuinely excited when I was told we were eating there as a team, but when the food showed up, my experience took a huge left turn.
