We came here during a busy time and surprisingly we were seated pretty quickly. The service was very good. Our waitress was pretty awesome, friendly, and helpful. Good oldies music played over the speakers in the restaurant which was enjoyable to just sit back, talk, eat and enjoy the music. The food was pretty good and I don't really have complaints about the entrees that we ordered. We ordered the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, but I didn't really enjoy them. Overall, nice and clean environment plus good food. I'd actually give this place 4.5 stars if I could. read more

Phoebe's diner needs to be knocked down a notch in the review world. They don't have specialized coffee such as lates which is a bummer. Most of their meals includes a base of some sort of gravy which makes it hard to eat healthy. Even their omelets have gravy in them. Their grits taste like just gravy as well. They try to change a lot of classics and give them a gravy twist. Great if you're into that but I don't really like gravy with everything. The only healthy looking thing on the menu is a parfait. Waiter was nice and ambience is homey. We won't be back. Cafe Java is right down the street and knocks it out of the park. read more

Phoebe's Diner - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

Thought it was an old school diner, but definitely more upscale and instagram type of place instead. Nothing wrong with it, lovely for young people. Spacious seating with tvs at bar. Cute decor. Food: looking at the menu, nothing was truly appealing. It was $$$ and the ingredients just didn't look good. Ended up getting a la carte of sausage, eggs and french fries. The Sausage was delicious, would get two orders! Fries - gross. Get the tots! Seems like the chicken sandwich was good and so was the scramble. Parking was decent. The Domain was nearby so that's nice. Walk around after. Overall, it's cute and decent. But I rather eat at those old school diners, not this. read more

Food presentation was awesome. Quality was ok, definitely overpriced. In addition they put sugar in just about everything that we had, including the biscuits??? Also their brisket is not brisket, it is clearly chuck roast. But the mark up is outrageous. Ambiance and service we good though. read more

Phoebe's Diner - Brisket benny - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

After seeing reviews, my partner and I decided to stop by for brunch while visiting Austin. We arrived around 12:30 and the place was quite packed. However, we were greeted and sat immediately. The interior was modern and sleek with soft lighting and plants thought which I loved. Our waiter arrived shortly after we were sat and was very pleasant. He asked if we had questions about the menu. We were torn between breakfast or lunch entrees so we decided on breakfast. We started with the fried green tomatoes. My partner ordered the short stack with a side of bacon and grits. I opted for the Migas add Chorizo. The fried green tomatoes were cooked perfectly but had no flavor. It was pretty batter with absolutely no salt which was surprising. The potatoes that accompanied the Migas were actually the best part of the dish. The green Chorizo was ground and added inside of the eggs. It was barely noticeable and the entire dish lacked flavor. It was quit mushy to say the least. The pancakes were very dense. The side of bacon was literally one piece of extremely thick bacon. The plus is that the flavor was good. And the grits.. were sweet and cheesy; which wasn't a good thing. I'm usually a sweet grits girl and my partner cheesy. However, it's one or the other.. not together. Also, they were way too thick. All in all, not sure if it was a bad day but the food didn't line up to the reviews unfortunately. read more

Service was attentive and friendly. Environment pleasant to be in. I ordered a La Maria (Bloody Mary made with Tequila). It was very good. I had Phoebe's Benedict and the jury is still out on it. I asked the eggs be poached as they serve over easy eggs on their dishes with eggs. They were poached nicely. The dish was served on 2 large biscuits. The ham was flavorful and not cut well for the dish. Part was cut very thick. The biscuits were tough and I could have used a steak knife for the ham and biscuits. Hollandaise was passable. I did not feel well the rest of the day and ate a scrambled egg for dinner. In retrospect I think there was way too much sodium in the La Maria and food. They served a scoop of hash brown casserole which was tasty. I'll give them another try. read more

This days journey takes me to the states capital, looking for a good breakfast. I've been to this diner near the capital building but today I'm farther away but still was craving a wonderful breakfast. It so just happened that my craving was to be satisfied with a diner is also located in this area of Austin. The diner in question is Phoebe's, if you know this place you know why this place is special. As you enter the restaurant you see a good amount of seating and the hostess takes you to your seat. If you are fortunate you are assigned Lilith (I hope I read her name correctly) to take your order, even though all the staff seem to be very friendly and qualified for the job upon them. As you are seated you are asked for your drink order I choose a cup of coffee, which was excellent and promptly refilled, now the adventure begins choosing what you'll have for breakfast. I selected the Brisket Burrito, it's an item I've chosen before and I wasn't disappointed here. The brisket was tender and very flavorful and it was paired with a wonderful salsa and outstanding potatoes. I highly recommend this place, it has a good vibe and great atmosphere and the food is always on point. read more

Pretty dope ambiance. I honestly thought this place had been here since the '80s because of the vibe, only to find out later from a friend that this location has only been around for a few years. I ordered a burger and fries--because you can't really go wrong with a fat burger, right? It definitely didn't miss. Service was cool, no complaints at all. If I'm ever near the Domain again, I'll have to stop by and try something different next time. read more

Phoebes is a cute rustic modern diner with yummy food! My friends and I went for breakfast so not too sure about their lunch food. We didn't have a wait at all to be seated, however I would definitely join the waitlist. The after church rush is real. The pancakes were moist and decently sized, drip coffee was amazing, and the scrambled were the best scrambled eggs I have ever had! My only complaint was our friend ordered chocolate milk that tasted like regular whole milk. If I was allowed to give half stars this would be a solid 4.5 for me! read more

Every time we come to Austin we end up at one of the two locations of Phoebes Diner. This place has food to soothe soul! This time it was just me and my wife . We came to the new location here and the food did not disappoint. We started off with the cornbread muffins and sweet butter which just leaves you wanting more from the kitchen. My wife had the chicken biscuit and I had the chorizo hash. She enjoyed the chicken biscuit . The biscuit was moist and bitter with a lightly breast filet of Chicken inside and butter. It was accompanied with their awesome potatoes. The chorizo hash (not small at all) was layered with potatoes, chorizo, cotija cheese (I think) peppers and topped with fried egg. Wonderful dance in my taste buds. The service never disappoints and the place is always lovely and friendly. We will be back again . read more

Phoebe's dinner is a hidden gem. A friend and I decided to have lunch/brunch at the diner. Phoebe's is as the name implies a diner - warm & welcoming and a bit understated! Fortunately, we decided to meet at 11 am as shortly thereafter a plethora of diners flooded in. While there a good number of folks in the restaurant, the noise level was low making it very easy to converse. Gillian our server recommended the 4 most popular dishes based on our query. We decided to try the chicken biscuit, one of the four. My friend went with over easy eggs (as outlined in the menu) and I went with eggs whites (very easily accommodated at no additional cost.) OMG the chicken biscuit was a mountain of textures and flavors...all delightfully delicious!!! We also had a side of sage gravy and goat cheese grits. Every bite was uniquely flavored...an explosion of pleasure in your mouth!! We both agreed that we would return to try other dishes offered at the dinner. Run do not walk to Phoebe's diner!!! read more

This time around I had the super crispy Fried Chicken Biscuit. Phenomenal! I declined the sweet pepper jam and did the sage gravy instead as pictured. Man was this good. Especially dipping the crisp new potatoes in that gravy! The yolks on the egg were bright orange which is evident of nutritious pasture eggs. Rich and delicious. My friend had the Phoebe's Benny and unfortunately the ham was like a piece of rubber. It was not even chewable. Seriously overcooked or just a really bad piece. Overall this restaurant is really good for homemade and unique recipes. It also has reasonably priced entrees except for the tiny glass $4.25 coffee drinks and one slab of bacon for $5.50 which is quite excessive. read more

Great experience overall! The service was excellent--everyone was friendly and welcoming, and our food came out quickly and fresh. I had the nitro chata to drink, which was very good. The Phoebe Benedict was absolutely delicious; the ham was cooked perfectly, and the hollandaise sauce was spot on. The hash brown casserole was also good, and the portion size was very generous--I couldn't finish it. The biscuits were tasty, though they had more of a cornbread-like texture. Overall, a great meal and I'd definitely return. read more

Phoebe's Diner remains one of my favorite brunch spots in Austin. When my friend announced we'd go here for her birthday brunch I was excited. Her cat got sick and she couldn't come, but a few of us met for brunch anyways. I'd never been to this North location, but even though it's a farther drive, it might be the most convenient due to ample parking and short wait times. Ignore my last review, because I accidentally reviewed the wrong location. An added bonus for this location is the availability of outdoor seating. I decided to branch out and order something different - the smoked beet hash. It was good, maybe even delicious, but not quite as good as other things I've tried from Phoebe's. The whole time I was jealous of my friends' mozzarella omelet and crab cake benedict. We agreed it was so good we'd have to return. Fortunately, the birthday friend wants to go out this weekend, and Phoebe's is still her restaurant of choice. I'll be back to try something new! read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday and was impressed by how quickly we got seats using the waitlist feature on Yelp- would recommend! For an appetizer we both tried the South First Tots (I thought it was excellent and very filling, with a little bit of heat from the jalapeños) As my main dish, I got the chorizo hash and swapped the meat out for brisket. The meal was very filling and flavors well balanced between the salty brisket, perfect over easy egg, sweet potatoes and guacamole. My boyfriend got the chicken fried steak (gluten free option) and while it was tasty as well, the steak was cut a bit too thick for our liking and wasn't as conducive to being battered and fried IMO. Overall, both dishes were played very nicely. Overall ambiance was lively and while it could get a bit loud in there during peak brunch hour, it wasn't unbearable. Our server was very sweet and checked up on us throughout. For the price I feel like we got a lot of food for the price. Will visit again! read more

Phoebe's is one of my go-to spots to take guests and friends, when they are in town visiting. This location is great for inside or outside seating. We had a dog with our group and we were easily set outside and they brought a bowl of water for her too. The food is always on point. The selection of food is unique and special, not just your typical breakfast food. We always start with the cornbread and the sides (butter and jam) to pair the cornbread with is so good. Their breakfast brisket burrito is absolutely amazing! Big enough for 2 people or to take home for leftovers. And the hash brown casserole comes with it is just as good, you have to try it! The bake eggs dish is a cool dish you don't expect, very good. Their drinks are great. And the decor inside is fun and cute. read more

We love diners and just found out about this location. It was cute inside with a mix of tables and booths. The staff is friendly and so very hard working. Food was delicious with just a few misses. Biscuit and sausage gravy - incredible! We couldn't get enough. Goat cheese grits - so creamy and good. Brisket Benny - very good, though the flavors of the bbq sauce and hollandaise sauce clashed a bit. The side of hashbrown casserole had absolutely no flavor. It was the only thing we ordered that we absolutely didn't like at all, and unfortunately, it went uneaten. Fried Green Tomato BLT was so very good, and the jalapeno remoulade brought everything together in a delightful way. I prefer crispy bacon, but this sandwich had very thick-cut chewy bacon. The tater tots were over-fried, so was just burnt oil in the middle. Brisket burrito and side of red potatoes was delicious. The salsa provided with it is of the smoky variety for those that have a preference one way or the other. There are so many things to try on the menu that I'm sure will be back to give it another go. read more

We love Phoebes!!!!!! We have been here a few times and have always had the most wonderful time This time we got the horchata French toast (seasonal item) and the mozzarella omelette and the food was incredible!! The tomato gravy on the omelette is so crazy good. The drinks are really good as well. I've enjoyed the mimosas every time. Ambiance is fantastic. Gives a classic diner feel that I think is pretty rare in Austin. The service is really what to write home about. All the times we have been here our servers have been incredible no matter how busy it got. This time we had Beth and she was just fantastic!! Love this place will always recommend. read more

Our last dining experience in Austin before heading back to Boston. And it was great! Very cute ambience-old fashioned diner look. Our server, Ry, was super friendly and enthusiastic and offered up their suggestions and favorites to help us order. I had the Natalie's juice which was refreshing and tasted yummy healthy. My husband had the brisket Benny which was fabulous! I had the shrimp and grits, and as Ry noted, the goat cheese made the grits extra creamy and provided a bit of tang. We also had the fried green tomatoes but we were so full that we only had a few bites. We brought them back to our hotel in hopes of snacking on them later but regrettably, we left them in our hotel fridge. Great ending to a fun weekend getaway! read more

Came here for a group brunch last weekend and overall had a great experience with the food, beverages, service, and overall ambiance! I normally pass by Phoebe's when driving from the Domain, and because of its location by a busy, traffic-ridden road, I never considered it as a place worth checking out. My sister was the one who suggested it after we decided to do a group lunch on a Sunday morning and wanted to pick a convenient location in North Austin. Getting a table at 9:30am was no issue. That's probably the sweet spot in regards to snagging a table during competitive weekend brunch hours. We were also able to eat outside, which was a refreshing change since the summer months in Austin prevent that from being an option! I got black coffee, which was pretty standard in regards to black coffee offerings from brunch spots. For my meal, I got the baked eggs which sounded intriguing, but it was actually more like a tomato soup with two poached eggs mixed in...the toast was nicely buttered and crunchy though! Our server was friendly and attentive, and overall, dining here was a pleasant experience! read more

Well, after a few visits since the opening this year, I'm bumping down to a solid 3.5 stars. There's plenty to like at Phoebe's but there are other brunch options in the area with better-prepared food at a better price-point and Phoebe's could improve along those lines. Things I like: - varied menu with something for every taste or health preference - the dining room & outdoor spaces are large enough that the wait is usually not bad - staff is friendly and responsive - that French Toast - decent enough brunch alcohol options for those who want that Things that annoy: - most menu items are over-the-top, over-seasoned, over-sauced calorie-bombs; so much cheese, salt, & grease - prices are high for breakfast basics - parking is tough during peak hours - aggressive birds nesting on the covered porch will attack you throughout your meal if you sit out there During my last visit, I was disappointed by the chile relleno that came with undisclosed (what appeared to be) Hot Cheeto coating. Why would you ruin a delicious, already spiced dish with that abomination? To make matters worse, the scrambled egg stuffing was overcooked to the texture of a shredded Croc (the shoe for Dads). With Taco Deli, Cafe Java, and Original Pancake House so close, I'll likely choose one of those over Phoebe's for my next family brunch outing. read more

There's always a wait here, but that's how most of Austin is and it usually indicates that the food is going to be very good. I tried the monthly special and the ribeye inside the omelette was excellent. The rest of the dish was just strange. Boursin cheese worked well with the meat, but I don't think it benefited from the Demi glacé at all. And the mashed potato? I'm not sure how that fits in but it was tasty. Weird but good. I think I would have preferred the whole thing to not be an omelette because it just didn't make sense while eating it. Separately everything had good flavor. Together it didn't. The restaurant was a regular diner and was clean and not too noisy. I think I'd come here again and try the chicken... read more

After seeing this establishment on Instagram, I knew I had to try it. Spenser was our server, and he was invaluable. He recommended excellent choices. The restaurant was cute and clean. We got a book of dad jokes to keep us entertained, but our service was speedy and excellent. Now to the best part of the experience...THE FOOD! We ordered chicken fried mozzarella and fried green tomatoes for the appetizer, and boy, was it DELICIOUS. I've never had fried green tomatoes before, but I was impressed. Next, we had chicken-fried steak and a brisket burrito, a fried chicken sandwich, and deep-fried French toast, Badass bacon and eggs, and two stacks of pancakes. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. The only issue I had was the minimal amount of brisket in the humongous burrito. 10/10 read more

Service was ok. My server was nice but didn't really go out of his way like the other servers did. The other servers introduced themselves to their customers and checked on them frequently. I just didn't get that same type of customer service. I was not checked on. I had to ask for a water refill. As for the food it was ok. I got the Bad Ass bacon & Eggs. Eggs and bacon were fine. The potato casserole was more like a potato cupcake. Just not good. I was visiting the Austin area and saw the great reviews here. I did enjoy my Bloody Mary. Would I go back again? Maybe. read more

I honestly don't understand why this place has such a high rating -- maybe it's just because there aren't many breakfast spots in Austin? It honestly felt like the food was cooked for pigs. Everything looked unappetizing and downright ugly. The quality was terrible and the taste even worse. The bacon was as thick as a steak and dripping in grease. The coffee was sour. And the French toast? I've never seen anything like it -- basically a dry, greasy crouton drowning in a mountain of fatty whipped cream. This might be the worst restaurant I've ever been to. The only redeeming quality was the service -- the waiters were nice and attentive. But whoever is in the kitchen seriously needs to go learn how to cook actual food. read more
