    The food. The vibes. The service. Wow! Get the chicken fried steak with grits. The sage gravy is hella good. Everything was seasoned. The nitro-chata is perfection.

    Biscuit -Biscuits and Gravy (Half Order)

    The place is really cute and the customer service was 5/5. I got the Chile Relleno w/ green chorizo with fruit. This was really different but a good different. Scrabbled eggs stuffed in there and fried. Everything worked really well with each other but I could have shared this plate with someone. Those potatoes were delicious and the perfect amount of crispy. Chicken Fried Ribeye with hashbrown casserole. The asparagus was seasoned so well that my boyfriend discovered he really likes asparagus. He devoured his chicken friend ribeye. The biscuits and gravy were ok but it's not something that we would order again. We wanted to try it out to see if we would like it but it's a no for us. Definitely recommend and don't forget to join the waitlist so you don't have to wait long before you're seated.

    -French Toast- -Cafe du Monde Vietnamese Iced Coffee-
    Claire H.

    Food: Deep Fried French Toast sounded like it would be amazing ... and it was! Omg I added bananas on top and wow, this is some of the best French toast in Austin. I genuinely loved it so much. I also got the Cafe du Monde Vietnamese Coffee because it intrigued me. I grew up with Cafe du Monde coffee, so I knew about the chicory flavor. But with this style/flavoring, omg wow... so good!! Gimme an Iv of that coffee!! Service: My server was super friendly! I thought she was sweet and funny. Ambiance: Super chill diner vibe with TVs on, big bar with AustinFC flag and lots of extra coffee to be made! It was really nice there.

    Husband and I were on the search for some breakfast spot & we came across Phoebes with pretty good reviews. I wouldn't say it's the best breakfast spot though. I was really craving pancakes & these weren't so good. The tater tots were good though. Don't remember what my husband ordered but he also mentioned it's not what he had expected. I guess we were just expecting good breakfast because of the previous reviews & ratings. I do say, our server was super nice & attentive ! We went on a Sunday 9:30am & we're seated right away, get there early because it does get packed pretty quickly.

    -Chicken Biscuit-
    Joshua E.

    I want to start by saying this was an Uber Eats order, so my experience may have been a tad different if I'd been there in person. I ordered 2 Chicken Biscuits. It typically comes with a fried chicken breast on top of an egg, cheese, and a biscuit. It also has potatoes and some type of jalapeño jam on the side. The chicken was seasoned but still missing something. I wish they'd also maybe cooked it just a little longer. The breading looked perfectly cooked but tasted like it needed a little more time. When I placed my order I called the store to ask if they could not put cheese on either of the meals. The nice host who answered the phone said of course. Needless to say, although "no cheese" was written on my receipt, there was still cheese on both. On the first one, I was able to get most of the egg separated from the cheese. The taste was basic, would have been better if I could have had it with the biscuit. Couldn't taste the first biscuit bc the cheese was melted on. Luckily, on the second one, I was able to just take the cheese off, sacrificing bits on the biscuit lol. The potatoes were basic. They had little to no seasoning. The Jam! It was definitely a saving grace for everything. It was kinda similar to chutney. I tasted it with each item and it definitely made it better. Is this a place I'll eat regularly, probably not. Will I eat here again, I'm not opposed to trying it again.

    Came Saturday morning and was able to grab a seat at the bar. They defiantly are popular for both dine in and to go orders. Went with the French toast and badass bacon and eggs. French toast is massive so tool 1/2 home, nice and crispy and soft center. The Badass bacon and eggs was simple yet good. The hash brown casserole was great at first but then become kinda bland. The eggs tasted a lot like the casserole sooooo maybe next time I'll do over easy eggs. Bacon nice and crispy just how I like. Coffee was also good and service was great. Sitting at the bar you get a front row seat of all that's going on. Restaurant was clean and seemed to be well maintained.

    -Chicken Sandwich-
    Andrea P.

    Came here on a saturday about an hour and half to closing. We had to wait a few mins for a table. The parking outside is really small. Once seated our server was friendly. Food came out fairly quickly. I got the grilled chicken sandwich with fries and it was really good. Would def recommend trying but keep in mind the area and the parking situation.

    --Brisket Benny-

    Brunch date at Phoebe's Diner was a 10/10 I had the BST omelette with red potatoes + a Vietnamese coffee made with Cafe Du Monde, and my gf got the brisket Benny with the horchata ‍ Everything was SO good, portions were huge so we definitely left with leftovers. Great food, great vibes, and already can't wait to go back

    Badass Bacon and Eggs + Green Chorizo Shrimp and Grits, Cheeky Monkey, classic Bloody Mary and a grapefruit mimosa
    Misty D.

    We had the Badass Bacon and Eggs, Green Chorizo Shrimp and Grits, a Cheeky Monkey, a classic Bloody Mary and a grapefruit mimosa. Everything was great, very fresh, we didn't have to wait long to be seated or for our food to arrive. The service was excellent, the team is upbeat and they all seem happy. The ambiance was nice and casual - it's like an up scale diner. The bacon was thicc and melt-in-your-mouth status. The Cheeky Monkey was not our favorite item, but it was unique. My husband got the shrimp and grits and said it was "delightful". I'm not sure that I've heard him use that word to describe a dish before. We looked around at other people's food and it all looked real good. We will be back for more!

    One of the perineally great things about Austin,now and forever is,you never know what you're gonna run into. For certain it will be interesting. Everything is hiding in plain sight. I sat down with Phoebe's menu and immediately wanted everything. Literally. I knew then, I'd discovered a good one. Over the decades I've prided myself on finding the hidden gems. You know,that place you set your sights on to hit when you roll into town. These days,most of the old spots have been torn down to make way for shiny new highrise condos. I'm adding Phoebe's to my list of definitely go. If you blink youl miss it. Just on the edge of surrounding gentrification in a non descrpt strip center. No big sign. Walk in the front door and the vibe hits you. Yes,the sound track of R & B is required in Austin but that's not it. The layout,smiles on faces,aroma of hunger inducing foods being prepared. It all adds up to high expectations. I went for the green chorizo hash. Wow! This is one of those occasions where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Green chorizo,corn,onion sweet potato,spinach. All topped with two over easy eggs, guacamole,pickled chilies,cotija cheese and cilantro. All the other menu items sounded just as good. Exceptional service,food and atmosphere.... Go!

    On a busy Easter Sunday, I was very pleased to be seated almost immediately. The trick as it turned out, was to get on their waitlist first thing in the am via using their website and then let them know you're already on the waitlist whenever you arrive. Needless to say, the service was excellent. We tried a plethora of food. Pancakes, chicken, shrimp, cornbread, hash potatoes, grits, fries, biscuits. Everything was amazing. The cornbread came with butter, apple butter, and a spicy jam. . The grits were creamy and cheesy. The chicken was fired to perfection and tasted amazing with a little syrup poured on it. My daughter loved the shrimp!!! The biscuit was a tad bit dry though. Overall, we throughly enjoyed our brunch. They have your typical diner seating of booths and a few small tables and a small area of patio seating. All the more reason to jump on the website and get on the waitlist far in advance of arriving. I spent $89 to feed four. 8.0 out of 10 is my rating. Great Job Pheobe's Diner!!!!

    This place is gross, save your money and go elsewhere. The eggs were watery and drenched in sauce and fake cheese. The masa was soggy and tasted rotten. I got very nauseous after a few bites so I threw the rest away. Waste of money. Don't come here trust me

    Banana French toast & beet hash

    Was visiting Austin and was looking for brunch before heading out of town. The service was quick and I started with a strawberry lemon mimosa. It was an amazing start. We got the banana flambé French toast & the beet hash. Both were excellent. The diner is in a strip mall and has indoor and outdoor seating as well as counter service. We ate inside. Definitely child friendly. All around great experience

    Are dogs welcome?

    On the outdoor patio, yes!

    Is this place vegan friendly?

    Oh gosh. Not certain. I think there may be some vegetarian options but vegan might be a stretch.

    Their espresso machine was broken the last time I went. Does anyone know if they got a new one yet?

    Hello, we actually no longer have an espresso machine. We do have wonderful drip coffee from TX Coffee Trader's and our house made Cafe Du Monde Iced Coffee though. Come in and visit us!

    Came on a Wed evening and it was pretty empty. For a second I thought they weren't open since there…read morewere no cars in the parking lot. When I walked in I as greeted and sat right away with drink order taken. They dropped the ice tea and gave me a few to decide what to order. Debated between the chicken fried chicken or chicken pot pie. They recommended the pot pie as the chicken fried chicken was quite large and more for volume vs the pot pie being a classic nostalgic dish. I got the pot pie and added a side of mashed potato's and gravy. Yum! The pot pie was decent, I would have preferred a piping hot temp wise, but it was alright. The puff pastry was massive on top and I broke into layers. The mashed potatoes were good and the gravy? Boy, that was the star of the show. I ate wayyyy more potatoes than needed cause that gravy is amazing! Overall place was clean and well lit. Music varied with soft rock mostly playing.

    I have lived in ATX for 40 years. Somehow just never made it to this place. The lady and I ordered…read morehummus, chicken and waffles and the sweet potato hash. The hummus wasn't bad per se, just the combination of flavors didn't work for me. That's a me thing. Someone else might dig it. My lady ordered the chicken and waffles. She said it wasn't bad, the chicken was juicy. I had the abomination that was the sweet potato hash. The eggs were ordered over medium. Fruit was the side. 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.
