I just don't get it. It's like this place is passionately trying to be terrible. Maybe if you absolutely care zero about health it is fine. Only a cheap tea/ coffee selection, no alternative dairy milk (lactose intolerant - sorry), no egg whites or poached eggs, cheap white bread from a box. You're better off saving your money and eating at the gas station. read more

Came in with a party of 7 at 11pm. PRICES!! Not good. Well don't burgers we CHARD HARD. extra charge for LTO on burger is highway robbery. Fried pickles portion was WAY TOO SMALL AND WAY TO EXPENSIVE. Taste sweet and not good. Fries cold. Steak was over cooked and wagu steak was nothing but FAT. feels like they use the name WAGU to sell cheap meat. Fries on steak barely cooked. Mac and cheese weird aftertaste. Service was fine but the manager was running around and present. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant not clean. BOH door open right into the dirty kitchen by the restrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] AND TO TOP IT OFF. AUTO GRAT!!!! IS TRASH! Will not be back due to prices and quality AND AUTO GRAT!! read more

We had breakfast at this diner with our girls before a big day in Austin and it was such a hit! The waiter was engaging and helpful, the food was so good. Next time we stay in the area, we will be sure to return! read more

A struggle to review this one... Starting with the positive. Service was on point, and Lyndsey made sure to provide us with all we need. Without asking, she set our table with a side of ketchup, jam, butter, and waters. Coffee was always filled! Someone, who I believe was either the head chef or manager, came out to check on all tables. Always a plus, connecting with members of the establishment! Ambiance is as you expect, diner feels with modern touches. On to the food. The menu definitely excited the eyes. While it was a slight bummer to learn the Eggs Benedict is only served on the weekends (and available until running out), I had a number of selections that caught my eye. The Breakfast Plate is offered at a discount of $10 (instead of $16) if ordering Early Bird. The bacon, although ordered crispy, was just sad. The fruit cup seemed old, or perhaps using frozen fruit that's thawed out. The breakfast sausage in the hash was nothing special, and could have easily been crumbled with jimmy dean breakfast sausage. On one hand, yes, this is a diner - so expectations are as such. On the other hand, prices are definitely inflated (again, understanding this is basically downtown), and don't align with quality. I don't expect to return, but I'm happy that I experienced this Austin staple. read more

Outright Discrimination and the Worst Service We've Ever Experienced- This was hands down one of the most appalling restaurant experiences we have ever had, made even worse by the fact that it happened on Christmas Day while dining with our family, including two children and a newborn baby. We were told there would be a 30-minute wait. We waited over an hour, managing tired children and a newborn, only to be told--without apology--that they were no longer feeding anyone. That alone is unacceptable. Then it got worse. Staff actually told my husband that they would feed our children but not him. Let that sink in. They were willing to serve part of our family while intentionally refusing service to one adult. This was humiliating, degrading, and felt like blatant discrimination. We were made to feel unwelcome, singled out, and completely disrespected. There was zero effort to correct the situation, no explanation that made sense, and no concern for the fact that we had been waiting with small children and a newborn. This was not a misunderstanding. This was intentional, dismissive, and discriminatory behavior. No family should ever be treated this way, especially during the holidays. If you care about basic decency, fairness, or being treated like a human being, do yourself a favor and stay far away from this place. We will never return, and we will be warning others. read more

This use to be my go to late night spot in college years, and the decor is the same but the food is.. well.. bad. They now close at 11. Thankfully they were kind to let us in at 10:30 with us immediately ordering. I'm willing to give it another shot for the mac and cheese and the burgers, but that'll be on another person's request and not my own. read more

This Diner was one of the few restaurants open on Christmas evening in the downtown area and therefore had a wait for a table. Luckily, I was able to find a seat at the bar and didn't have to wait. I was intrigued by the homemade veggie burger and asked the bartender about it. She said out of town visitors stop in for this burger when they visit Austin, so I really wanted to try it. It was exceptionally good! After a few bites, I had to take out the jalapeños with seeds because my mouth was on fire. Once I took out the jalapeños, I was able to taste all the flavors of the veggie burger again. You can see all the beets predominantly in the burger, but there are a lot of other vegetables in there as well. The fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and you might just finish them all like I did. I will definitely stop into this Diner in the future to eat this veggie burger again when visiting Austin! read more

You know if an Austin restaurant snags a space in the airport, it's got to be good! 24 Diner lives up to the hype and is the perfect classic diner spot. The menu had a ton of options, almost too many if you can be indecisive like myself sometimes. Food: I got the classic breakfast which was great. I do wish the bacon and potatoes had been a bit crispier but I still enjoyed them. We got a waffle for the table which was amazing. It's VERY sweet though so a few bites was more than enough for me. Parking: We lucked out with a spot but it's pretty limited! There's a small lot right out front but it's shared by a few businesses. read more

We arrived at noon and were surprised at the number of empty tables. I ordered the Biscuits and gravy which was two biscuits, two eggs and a fruit cup ($16.95). The biscuits were a bit tough and dry, but the sausage gravy was tasty and well seasoned. The eggs (which I'd ordered 'over easy' were undercooked with clear egg white coming out when I cut into them. I didn't eat them. The fruit cup was fresh and delicious. My friend ordered a roasted banana milkshake which contained a couple of pieces of something she couldn't figure out - cereal, ginger snap? We were both underwhelmed with the food. Our server was adequate but never inquired about how we enjoyed our food. read more

Eggs were good but lacked salt (which is fine, better to under-salt than over), biscuit was good but dry, potatoes were good, but the sausage was basically inedible, it was so salty, and I love salty food. The server was nice, and the place was clean. But the food was just okay! Open til 10 so it also has that going for it. read more

I'm baaaack! LOL this time came in for lunch on a Friday at 11:30. Perfect timing because the tables were starting to fill up quickly. We were promptly seated and our order taken. This time I tried out the Buffalo Chicken Sliders with a side of Mac & Cheese. The sliders were so tasty and had a nice crunch to them too. The Mac & Cheese wasn't bad, but not my favorite. I'll probably try. A different side next time. Love the pairing with Bleu Cheese for dipping since that's usually my go to dip. Absolutely love that every time I come here when I ask for hot sauce they have a large variety. Cholula, Tabasco, Sriracha or Yellowbird Habanero. They have it all! My fav is the Habanero. Oh and also their whole breakfast, lunch and dinner menu is always available. read more

There's not really a whole lot of parking but even if you do find parking, it's tight spaces. There's was a wait (no big deal) but they ended up seating us pretty quick. I got the waffle plate but subbed the eggs for fruit. The waffles were soft..? Like they weren't cooked all the way maybe? It may be a preference but I like my waffles to have a crunch. The syrup was also super sweet. The fruit didn't taste fresh; I had bananas (that I didn't eat because I don't like them), strawberries and grapes. I tried about 4 grapes and one after the next they just tasted worse and worse. Moral of the story, this place wasn't for me. read more

Service was excellent. Waiter was friendly and you could see this being a local hangout. Sliders were tasty. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It was from the start...the heater was on! A cold night in Austin was warmed up with excited service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now it was a bit slow so my guess is they were excited to do something but this is where I know and how I know it's a good spot. They were bored and treated us like VIP as opposed to the average person behaving in a manner as if we were a burden. NOPE, Balley n Rider/Ryder were exceptional! And whoever made my Tuna sandwich n fritters deserves a high-five with locked eye contact. Cheers to this team cuz I came here years ago, and found what I expected(late night diner/drunk) food...Something changed and I'm glad I took that chance. Will I be back they ask... ~d.J Kali Another ONE read more

I actually really loved it here! I got the chicken and biscuit breakfast and it was delicious! It came out fresh and quickly. They were able to seat us within 15 min of arriving and they were on top of filling up waters and drinks. The servers and hostesses were very nice and the place is very clean. I love the menu options and they're really good at what they do. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

The food is a strong 3.5 in quality but portions is a 4! Huge. fries were great but steak was a bit tough.

Great spot for late night grub. Sarah is very welcoming and sweet. The Mushroom Swiss burger is absolutely fantastic, mine was a perfect medium rare. The chicken fried chicken was a little rubbery, but the sides picked up the slack. Ambiance wasn't the best but the staff kept spirits high.

24 Diner - Two good pals after deleting their meals. - Diners Near Me - Austin, Texas

We had a party of 8 ona Saturday morning. We were quickly accommodated by the hostess which was nice but our server (unfortunately I did not get her name) was absolutely rude and unhelpful. She made us all feel as if we were inconveniencing her and she'd love to get us out the restaurant as quickly as she can. A few of my friends in the party did not enjoy their food-- particularly the steak and eggs with complaints that it was fatty and tasteless. I had the meatloaf which was pretty tasty. All in all, I'll probably never go back. Awful first experience. read more

Customer service was good until i received my order which was the chicken and waffles. The waffle was not hot but warm but most of all SOGGY. This was ok for the family as they all love a soft waffles. Mark seemed ok to my request as I was sharing the meal with my son. May I get another 1/2 crispy waffle. The lady that came by said she would check to make sure it was being made- meanwhile I thought SHE was taking into consideration that I didn't have anything to snack on other than my chicken. It took 10 plus minutes for me to get a waffle which was served on a smaller plate. Yep!! Chicken was COLD AT THIS POINT! SHE asked if she could remove my plates to clear room but I ACCORDING TO HER declined! Well -- I didn't want my chicken that was left to rest on my crispy waffle so yes I ate off both plates. With the other half of waffle remaining-- one of my family members ask to try it and I inclined! When I received my check and inquired about the 6$ charge SHE informed me that I didn't allow her to remove the waffle! What? Thanks Austin! Great waffle if it is served as a waffle --which should be somewhat crispy and NOT SOGGY! read more

Food was delicious and came out relatively quick! I did get the Iced Mocha which definitely wasn't their strong suit as the chocolate syrup wasn't even mixed into the drink but other than that the meal was great! Definitely recommend this location especially since Amy's and BookPeople are just around the corner and make for a great hangout with friends :) read more

24 Diner - Fried Chicken Sandwich - Diners Near Me - Austin, Texas

I always wanted to try this place out and today was a good day. I first noticed the parking lot in front was small with tight spaces. I decided parked behind 24 Diner with few cars parked at. There was an outdoor patio but decided to site inside. The place had a cool eccentric appeal and great character. I got that farm to table feeling here and noticed the menu said breakfast served all day every day. The options looked attractive but wanted a lunch item, so I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich where described it as brioche bun, apricot slaw, chipotle remoulade and I selected dart meat with it. My wife, who was with me, ordered the Roasted Chicken with whipped potatoes and mac & cheese. The service was excellent and very friendly. As I waited I saw a bar with craft beer and a list of different pies to order. Soon our food arrived and my chicken sandwich was huge with the chicken sticking out of it. I also ordered the mac & cheese as a side and it was just delightful. I loved it. The fried chicken has a nice bread-like crust to it where it was not greasy. The chicken in it tasted really good where it was hot and steamy with great flavor. It was one of the best I had. I grabbed my fork and sorted to pick at my wife's plate to taste the mashed potatoes and roasted chicken. It too was really good and her chicken had a different taste to mine. 24 Diner was definitely a home run where about to start my Austin foodie restaurant marathon. read more

I absolutely love this place, and have eaten here for years. Took my wife and her nephew there today, March 9th and had a regrettable experience and one I'd rather forget. From hostess to waitress there was a feeling of "just not into you or it today." Ordered two orders of Chicken and Waffles, on large and one small...which took absolutely forever to get to our table. The couple directly behind us came in approx. 10 minutes after us, ate, and left before us. Also I've never had what appeared to be a cook bring my food to me but that seems to be what happened. How many times did the waitress come by and ask if we needed anything? She didn't. I even sat awkwardly waiting to see someone that I could ask for a to go box. It was my wife's nephews Birthday and I was excited to bring them there. Over 50 dollars later with 10 dollar tip I feel extremely disappointed and dissatisfied. Everybody has an off day and maybe today was one of those days for me there. It'll be awhile before I come back. I didn't appreciate the general attitude and vibe. read more

I was visiting a friend in Austin and came across this place on a Sunday. Was just one party at a table and I was promptly seated, tucked in a little corner table behind the front hostess/host area. Was given a menu, and given 5 minutes to look over it then the waitress approached me with water. I thought the food was decent for a diner! Not overly delicious, but it wasn't "meh", it was in between both descriptor. I ordered coffee cake. That's came out first and it was slightly warm and a little crunchy which was good! I was expecting it to be warm, so that was a nice and unexpected touch for me who was walking all day exploring Austin. It was 90 some degrees out. I ordered the meatloaf, which was very tender and easy to cut It was coated with some type of meat sauce, and beneath it were some collards. The collards tainted the taste for me, but they weren't bad, so I ate the meatloaf and mashed potatoes separately from the collards. The meatloaf itself was tasty. The mashed potatoes were bland. Not bad, but more tasteless. I also ordered Biscuits and Gravy to go for my flight back tomorrow morning and the waitress gave me the option to have the biscuits and gravy not built together, so they wouldn't be soggy after sitting in the hotel fridge overnight! Overall, my experience was very pleasant! I knocked down a star because I was sitting for five minutes looking at a menu before being offered water. Again, there was only one other table group present on a Sunday at 5pm read more

Had an awesome brunch here during a recent trip to Austin. Cute space, great service. We went around 9:15am on a Saturday, no wait. Had a mimosa (not too heavy on juice, just like I like it) and my sister liked her spicy Bloody Mary. I had the veggie hash and my sister had the biscuits and gravy. I often find B&G bland but the gravy had that great peppery bite that put it over the top. I got the massive biscuit with my hash and ate the whole thing. Not dry, buttery and delicious. The hash was very good, interesting and different than usual hash but still very breakfasty. It has no meat so I got a side of the sausage. Very generous servings. Would definitely go back. read more

Wife's birthday and we were there in the area to and we had never been before - so we embarked on the journey of 24 Diner They definitely have speed and customer service skills on another level at this place Craving the chicken biscuit and I was hungry... So I modded the Chicken biscuit side and opted for Mac n cheese. They brought out potatoes so ‍. The side of gravy was literally drinkable it was THAT good!! They fixed my hunger! All the food came out hot. The cinnamon roll and the corn fritters are definitely worth ordering. You can thank me later . The staff got our order out fast and accurate. The drinks were flowing as we got a bottle of champagne for mimosas.... delicious. The price was just right. I had 2 beers that definitely hit the spot!!! I was very pleased with this visit. We will stop in as they definitely can fix hunger and cravings. Thank you for being in the right place at the right time! Anxious to get back!!!! Respectfully, Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma read more

20 Oct 2023 We took the train from SA to Austin and wanted breakfast when we got there about 9:30am. I had researched and found that 24 diner was less than a half a mile away from the Amtrak station. So we get there and get seated right away at a table in the corner. We ordered coffee, hot tea, the classic two-egg breakfast ( only $10 between 7 - 10am), a chicken and waffle sandwich, fruit and a slice of coffee cake. All was great. I really like the coffee cake, moist with the crumbly topping. Service attention was just right came by without asking them to. They are currently not open 24 hours, but open until 11pm. While we there for breakfast, they do serve typical diner food, burgers, sandwiches and the like. Go there when in Austin. read more

Cute upscale diner! I did the cheddar burger to eat and it hit the spot for sure. The fries were excellent. For dessert I got their famous strawberry cake shake and it was one of the best I've ever had. I'm not supposed to have dairy but it was worth the pain. My one "critique" is that it seemed like our waiter had every table. He was great, but it took forever to get the check and boxes but I watched him working his butt off everywhere so I don't blame him. read more

So my wife and I are trying to go to places we haven't been or have not gone back to in years. We tend to play it safe and close to home. Shana picked this one and we headed over Sunday afternoon. The wait was a little over 30 minutes and seems to be normal so take that into account. Parking was better then most downtown places and there is a Waterloo records next door. The greeter was friendly and efficient. I even almost left my phone but he caught me before we left. Breakfast is all day. We got a potato appetizer then I got a breakfast sampler type meal. Sunny side eggs were fine, bacon was ok. The sausage patty was the best part easily. I just got a coke to drink in case I have to drive and one of the few free refill drinks. No Dr pepper and Maine soda as most places like this have. Shana got French Toast and loved it. The Service was fine for how busy they were. No complaints there, we saw her several times and she kept my coke refilled. A weird think was the flies seemed to increase in the short time we were there. The prices are not bad for the taste and portions. If we can find a slower time we would like to try it again. read more

I hadn't been back to 24 for a while but this trip reminded me how much I was missing out! I normally get their Sweet Potato Hash or Chicken and Waffle (breakfast is served all day), but was really craving a burger and eventually decided on the Patty Melt--did not disappoint! I also snagged one of my friend's Black & Blue Wagyu Sliders: reallllly yummy and probably an option I'd get in the future again. Note that the blue cheese is not your traditional blue cheese, but has more of the consistency of a poppy seed dressing, interesting but still scarfed that thing down quick. Our waitress seemed like she didn't want to be there and the food took an entire lifetime to finally come out, but I've had great service here before so will chalk that up to an off day--we've all had 'em! read more
