So excited to see another Phoebe's location open in South Austin. This location met and exceeded my breakfast expectations, and left my group planning our next visit. This space is bright and clean, and is decorated like a modern farmhouse. We were seated upon entry at a cute two person booth in the back of the diner and a server quickly came around to place our orders. If you are a cold brew and horchata person, Phoebe's nitrochata is a must. To eat, I ordered my tried and true favorite, Phoebe's biscuits and gravy. Phoebe's conveniently offers a half order for those of us less hungry for a full meal or planning to also order items à la carte. I went the second route, and also ordered Phoebe's delish hash brown casserole. It was cheesy and crispy, but I wish the portion size was larger. My table also ordered the Brisket Benny, with tender beef, creamy hollandaise, and bbq sauce over biscuits. Our food arrived very quickly and tasted great, although it was on the pricier end for brunch. Thankful that Phoebe's decided to venture to far South Austin! read more

If you read my original review, you can see I've been a huge fan of Phoebe's and was so excited when this one opened. First time I went it was fantastic. I went again and it was pretty subpar. The eggs benedict - each egg was cooked very differently. One was very runny and the other was very hard. The hollandaise sauce was like pure mayo. Service was aloof. Phoebe's went from a place I rave about and take friends/family visiting to I'm not sure if I want to go there. Reached out to them to see if I can get an explanation but never heard back. Disappointed. read more

We'd been hearing a lot of hype about Phoebe's Diner and were looking forward to visiting - really glad to say it was excellent. I ordered the chicken biscuit and my boyfriend ordered the badass bacon and eggs. The bacon was some of the meatiest, thick bacon I'd ever seen. The hashbrown casserole was very savory. The chicken biscuit plate was everything I wanted it to be and more. The biscuit was fluffy and salty. The chicken was perfect and the potatoes were honestly not really needed because I was pretty full from the rest of it, though they were tasty on their own. We will definitely be back! read more

I was up early so I brought a book and grabbed a little booth near the bar- which is perfect. I think they might be the booths from when it was The Local? They had remodeled right before they closed and put little booths near the window. If you were a fan of the local, sitting in one of these booths might bring a smile to your face. I'm just guessing they might be the same. I'm going to tell myself they are so I can reminisce. :) The hostess was lovely and recommended the baked eggs. I was wavering between that and the beet hash. Next time I'll try that. The baked eggs came out bubbly and fresh. There were two thick slices of sourdough. The flavors were good and the egg was perfectly cooked. The vibe is cool. The music is good. The people working seem to get along and have fun. Being a teacher, I noticed a spelling mistake on the menu. It's a weird flaw of mine. Misspellings always jump out at me on menus. ;) This place is called a diner and has the feel of a diner, but the prices are a bit higher than an old classic diner. Phoebe's is more of an upscale retro diner. My baked eggs (with just water) came to around $22 with tax and tip. This place fills up fast. I left around 8:15 and it was already pretty full. Get there early or be prepared to wait. read more

We were seated immediately on a Wednesday morning. The restaurant has been updated since the previous place and the decor is nice and bright. We were enjoying chatting at the table until the staff came to set up a table for a large group - the chair noise was deafening! Then the group came to seat themselves and the noise repeated. They really need to address this as it was off-putting. I had the green chorizo hash, recommended by the server, which was spicy and rather mushy as the vegetables were very soft. Jalapeños were served on the side and I was glad as the heat would have overwhelmed the dish otherwise. The hush puppies on my friend's plate were underdone but mine were okay. The other order was baked eggs which came in a tomato sauce. It was flavorful but she would have preferred looser yolks. Service was good. We'll try this place again as everyone raves about it. read more

The food and service were great. Since this location is relatively new as of writing this, there was no wait for Saturday morning brunch, but I'd still recommend checking their waitlist on their website before heading to the store. read more

This was my first experience at any Phoebe's Diner where this new location was recently opened. This place was busy and did not released had to get on a waiting list but scanned a code to get on it. The wait was not too long until wad able to sit at a table. They do have bar seating and the decor is fresh and bright. This place is basically an early day diner with hours from 7:00 AM-3:00 PM. I ordered the Badass Bacon + Eggs with a Prickly Pear Pomegrante Mimosa. The table setting was very nice and a bit different having a Dads Jokes book on the table. There was no stage with a microphone where you could get on it and read jokes from this book. The mimosa was really good. The bacon was nice, thick and had great flavor. The eggs tasted wonderful too and the bread was very grainy making it very healthy. Overall very fresh tasting and delicious. Recommend getting on the waitlist before you arrive. read more

Marcus, our waiter, was very nice and helpful. We were consistently checked in on despite this place being extremely busy. There is a reason why this place is hopping! The food was delicious! Perfect portions, no take home boxes here. As my mom lovingly joked with me, we left no crumbs. Not to compete with my dad reading the Dads joke book they supplied. A nice like whimsy to Father's Day weekend. Phoebe's Diner is the perfect place for brunch, just make sure you come in before 3pm. read more

Phoebe's is a great breakfast option in Austin. So far, their pancakes are the best I've had at one of our local breakfast spots. I thought the prices were fairly reasonable and the service was quick. A nice little touch is the dad jokes book they lend to you while you're dining. Looking forward to my next visit when I'm in the mood for pancakes! read more

Great place for breakfast and lunch. Pancakes are some of the best I've had. Very nice and clean setting. Service was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Brand new location and I could tell the staff needed more reps. Not very knowledgeable about the menu. I was told the house salad was pretty special, though it was just ok. Paid $6 for side of brisket which was basically a scoop of all fat/flab in tons of juice/sauce and basically inedible. Also was charged for swapping the dressing on the side. Other folks' food at the table looked better so maybe worth trying again after the restaurant gets going. read more

We came here to celebrate a birthday party of six, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. The main courses were delicious, but the chocolate lava cake stole the show. Thank you for making our night unforgettable read more

Ordered food from Phoebe's for pickup. The restaurant is super cute, and has a very old school diner kind of vibe. We were greeted right away and someone went to get our food. Several people checked in on us to make sure we were being helped! I got the taquito salad and the beet hash, and my husband got the chicken biscuit. The taquito salad was AMAZING, but I was unfortunately underwhelmed by the hash. Beets were slightly hard/undercooked and there wasn't a ton of flavor. My husband devoured the chicken biscuit and raved about it all day. They are very heavy-handed with the guacamole, which I appreciated. Overall a great experience, but sad about the hash. read more

I'm so excited that Phoebe's Diner opened up a South Austin location. This is just what this area needed. Great atmosphere and delicious dishes. We have the Crab Benedict which I would get again! read more

Phoebe's Diner - Crab Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

A diner serving breakfast, brunch, and lunch classics with Southern flavors since 2017, now at FOUR locations, including this one in Cherry Creek. Chris was an absolute pleasure to meet, Sky was friendly, and this spot is easy to seat "no reservations" (other locations better to use the online wait list in advance). Otherwise the Green Chorizo Shrimp & Grits were hearty and creamy with a medley of textures and flavors, but perhaps better suited as hangover food - not fully refined with chorizo lacking flavor, and skimping on shrimp. At the end of the day, it's the people who make the venue, and I can't help but saying WHO NEEDS FRIENDS LIKE THESE, when you have PHOEBE'S!? read more

Late to the party, but better late than never! I had heard great things for years about Phoebe's Diner, but the first two locations were inconvenient for me. I tried the new location on Brodie and now I understand why it's highly rated! The food was incredible! I like to have both salty and sweet so I started with the Bada** Bacon & Eggs. The slab of bacon takes bacon to a whole new level! It was thick and juicy and cooked to perfection. The hashbrown casserole side was flavorful and moist. Even the toast was delicious. They use thick, nutty bread with just the right amount of butter. It's the way toast is supposed to be. Now let me get to the ricotta short stack cakes. Talk about AMAZING! Thick, fluffy and tasty. The best EVER. I sat at the counter where I received top notch service from Alyssa. She was friendly, informative, and fun. Honestly, I found all the staff to be friendly. Oh, and the atmosphere was great, too. Fun nostalgia above the bar and fun 90s music played during my visit. If you haven't been, you must give Phoebe's a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

Food is awesome and the employees are a joy to be with. Best customer relations I've seen in a long time.

Not only was the main course delicious, but the dessert blew us away. The chocolate lava cake was warm, rich, and heavenly. Our waiter, Alex, was exceptionally professional and friendly. read more

Way overpriced not real dinner food they are trying to be too eclectic Not impressed read more

Visited for the first time today and was fairly disappointed in the quality of food and beverage vs. the prices. Got a drip coffee that was $4.50 that was so bitter, even with sugar and cream. A glass of OJ that couldn't have been more than 6 oz was $5.50. I ordered the chicken biscuit and both the chicken and biscuit were bone dry. The dish is paired with a side of potatoes which were also bone dry. Mother in law ordered the mozzarella omelet, which tasted much better, but the overall composition made it a bowl of goo. My partner ordered the eggs Benedict which was the best dish on the table, other than feature the incredible dry biscuit. The restaurant is very small and they pack in as many tables and guests as they can. The restaurant was definitely on the louder side. Best part of the experience was the service. Very kind employees. Overall, likely won't be coming back, especially with a competing breakfast/brunch diner in the same plaza. read more

The aroma of sizzling bacon and fresh coffee greets you before the first menu page is turned, setting the tone for a diner that feels both nostalgic and distinctly Austin. Phoebe's excels at elevating comfort food its celebrated slab bacon, fluffy pancakes, shrimp and grits, and inventive brunch plates showcase Southern flavors executed with confidence and generosity. The dining room strikes a welcoming balance between modern polish and classic diner warmth, while the staff consistently earns praise for friendly, attentive service that feels genuine rather than scripted. Portions are substantial, presentation is thoughtful, and the kitchen demonstrates a knack for turning familiar breakfast staples into memorable dishes without losing their soul. read more

Great service, friendly staff in atmosphere. The menu is great and the meal that me and my wife gone for lunch it was wonderful.

Unfortunately not great for people with dietary things (I'm vegetarian) and there was so much bacon after asking them to make it with butter- also got parts of my sister's order wrong and unfortunately was not the experience we had heard about or were expecting! read more

Great experience. The menu is extensive and it all sounds amazing, making it hard to settle. I had biscuits and gravy and my daughter had pancakes. We split a side of tots. All of the food was delicious. The server was friendly and helpful. Restaurant is clean and well-appointed. We really enjoyed it and will definitely go back, I just couldn't bring myself to give 5 stars to a diner, but compared to other diners this is a 5 star pick. read more

Wow! I can't recommend Phoebe's enough! Have been to this location a few times and have always been amazed at the great delicious food and the great attentive staff! Unique dishes and basic favorites served in a fun atmosphere by engaging servers. Don't wait to check out this new Phoebe's! read more

So sadly disappointed. Food was great in concept but lacked execution and flavor. One of our party ordered the chicken biscuit and the server didn't ask how to cook the egg- everyone else with an egg was asked. Biscuits were dense, sad all around. Wanted to love it but will leave it. read more

We were seated quickly and the service was so friendly. The food was delicious. I love the place so much I bought my daughter (who lived in WA state) a tshirt! read more

I had the biscuits and gravy. Totally disappointed. Small hard biscuits and gravy tasted like it came from frozen. Sides were ala carte. Too expensive for the portions and flavor. read more

We got on the waitlist before we arrived a d didn't wait long to be seated. The food was delicious and excited to have this new location in south austin! read more

exceptional service from bright, friendly, courteous and on-top-of-it servers. Our lunch was delicious- melty pimento cheese and a kids cheeseburger. The space is clean and cute. New favorite neighborhood spot for sure! read more

Phoebe's used to be one of my favorite breakfast spots, so this one was a bummer. I ordered the sausage gravy and it came out with literally no sausage in it. Kind of hard to overlook that. The rest of the breakfast was pretty underwhelming too, similar to the last lunch I had here. Feels like the quality has gone downhill a bit as they've expanded. Service was fine, but the food, flat out, wasn't good. read more

No idea how the food is -- we signed up for the waitlist online with an estimated 25 minute wait. We gave them a full hour before we called it. We heard multiple other parties who also left in frustration with Phoebe's inability to manage their waitlist. No breakfast restaurant is worth an hour wait. Shady Hollow location. read more

Really disappointed at how basic this place is and how challenging it is for them to make basic food. Fried chicken and biscuits were salty, corn bread muffins were way tooooo sugary and beet hash just needs to be taken off the menu. Server took our order and then disappeared mind you this place is a small diner. It's so close to home and was excited about its opening. What a bust! read more

I was so excited that Phoebe's was opening a location close by me. I love the Oltorf location and I've never had a bad meal there. Now, on to my review of the new Brodie Ln. location. I must begin by saying that our server was great and attentive . The lunch menu is very limited at all Phoebe locations. We ordered off of the lunch menu and the food came out pretty quickly, but the french fries and tater tots were cold. The very small piece of chicken on the chicken sandwich wasn't warm either and had no flavor to the chicken at all. The description said it came with lettuce and tomatoes, but when it came out with soggy shredded lettuce, I was disappointed. The sandwich didn't look very appetizing and sad to say it wasn't good at all...it definitely was not worth $16.99. If only I had gone to Chick-fil-A... I will give it another shot, but I'm going to stick with the breakfast/brunch menu. I will update my review if they step it up and make sure they serve food that is hot. read more

Very Happy to have a Phoebe's in South Austin area. Friendly staff and a good breakfast. You can enjoy your coffee and relax.

So glad we got a Phoebe's location down south! The service was great and food was really good with great portion sizes. We definitely will be back - just make sure you put yourself on the waitlist on weekends! read more

It didn't appeal to my taste. They try to fancy and fusion breakfast dishes and it was difficult to find anything that appealed to my taste. Slab bacon was thick and fat. Asked for eggs over medium and they were barely turned over and "snotty." They replaced them with overcooked fried eggs. Hash browns were over cheesy for my taste. The whole wheat toast was very good. I was trying to keep things simple. For a first time diner, There is nothing "simple" here and there's a lot of smoked stuff. Is there such a thing as two many blueberries? In this case yes. The batter was thin and they fell apart with blueberries tumbling out. My son did like the Eggs Benedict and the biscuits. He thought they needed more gravy which was another $5 charge. The service was good on a positive note, so summarizing. The bill with tip was $3.00 short of $100. 3 people ordering a stack of pancakes, "regular" breakfast of eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast; biscuits and gravy, and Eggs Benedict. We agreed, if we wanted a good breakfast, it would be Snooze next time or Maudie's at 2/3 of the price and great crispy bacon. read more

Best South Austin breakfast spot, hands down. Staff is amazing. Food is phenomenal. We arrived at the busiest time and they breezed through it. 10/10 well done Phoebe's and we're stoked to have you in South Austin now! read more
