Austin Diner on Burnet has that classic old school diner feel and is an easy, casual spot to grab comfort food. I have had solid breakfasts here, eggs cooked right, crispy hash browns, and plenty of coffee, but it can be a little inconsistent. Sometimes the food comes out a bit greasy or not as fresh as other visits. Service is friendly, just a little slow when it gets busy. Prices and portions are fair, so it works for a simple meal, just not a place I go out of my way for with so many great options around Austin. read more

Food was meh- restaurant was kind of disorganized and dirty. There were so many employees standing around chatting but somehow service was minimal. For example they never cleared our plates away after we finished and never asked how food was after it came to the table. Bathroom had a toilet seat that was about to fall off and two broken paper towel dispensers. Trash cans were heaped up. But then when we got our bill- we were up charged 2.49 for fries on a kids meal. Also charged 2.70 for using a credit card. We left feeling like the prices didn't match the value. read more

I had a pretty good time here this past Sunday. I stopped by here after church, and after having it recommended earlier in the morning. I ordered brunch or breakfast at lunch. I got the Veggie Omelet. It came with toast and hashbrowns. The Omelet was loaded with fresh veggies. The outcome was a very tasty breakfast. This diner seems to be family run and everyone was operating in cohesion as they served their patrons. The process was quick and I was eating shortly after ordering. The place is not fancy, thus the name diner. However it has functional furniture and heart. If you haven't tried Austin Diner, then you should! Thank you to the staff for making this a real nice experience. read more

Amazing place with spectacular diner food and awesome staff. Nostalgic 9150s feel. My son and entire family love it!

Ordered a sandwich that was $13.52 with tax. I declined tip and charged card. Got home there is a $19.00 charge on my card. Called to talk to manager as this is UNACCEPTABLE ! Couldn't understand whoever they put on the phone. Stay away from this place. Watch your tabs. read more

I came here on a Monday morning so we got seated right away. The look inside is very old-timey classic diner. The menu has some good offerings, but we went with a kids meal and biscuits with sausage gravy. The food temp was good and everything tasted okay. Not extremely memorable but filling and enjoyable. We appreciated the pickle spear that came with the chicken tenders and fries. read more

We appreciated the classic diner vibes and good prices for Austin. The food was just okay, but we had a good time. I was happy with how big the portions were without the high prices. I ordered the Longhorn skillet, while my friend ordered the banana nut pancakes. We were both not impressed by the banana nut pancakes. They did not taste as good as the name sounded. I realized after receiving my skillet that I should have asked for no gravy. The menu did say "smothered in sausage gravy," so I should have considered that. It was such a huge, thick layer of gravy. It wasn't a big deal as I could scrape it all off to the side, but it was just an unpleasant sight to see. The meat (I think it was bacon) was sooooooo salty. I thought the rest of the skillet was really good though. I liked the eggs, vegetables, and potatoes. The pancake tasted somewhat bland and was not fluffy. The service was good. read more

Stopped in to try this place out from a friend's recommendation. I ordered from the breakfast menu and had a Veggie Omelet. The food was pretty good. I added pepper and just a pinch of salt from the shakers. The Omelet was the best. The coffee was good. The service was real good. Everyone of the staff seemed to fit well together moving the patrons in and out smoothly. The ambiance is diner style. No frills just the basics but in good condition. There is bar and booth seating. Parking wasn't an issue either. Thank you Austin Diner for a nice experience! I will be back. read more

If you're looking for an authentic old school diner experience this is the spot! I really love their French toast and my fiancee got The California Omlette which came with really good grits! Servers are really nice and attentive! Also can't beat the price, you're not going to get hit with a crazy bill for a "diner experience" like at some other places, names I won't mention. read more

The food and service are good. However the prices aren't the same as you see on their web page. Add 3.00-4.00 to any of the plates. About a dollar for sides. I was so surprised I almost left. More than I planned on spending. Atmosphere was nice read more

Stopped in for the senior price of a chicken fried chicken plate with the side of mashed potatoes and gravy. Also came with a side salad which I consider to be large, and a roll. $10.99, so the price is right! My only critique is that the chicken fried chicken was very very thin. Almost to the point where some of it was crispy instead of meaty, but it was still good in the price was good and they do have other selections for seniors for the same price. read more

Love this place. We've been going here for many years. If you're looking for fancy or gourmet this ain't it. But imo they have the most reliable, consistently good breakfast in town. I don't get why it is so underrated here on yelp. Pro tip - ask for the off-menu juevos divorciados. So good! read more

Come hungry! The food is tasty for being classed as diner food. The waitresses that were working when we went were working together rather than have separate sections, which made wait time seem shorter than other places. The 50s style is fun and they have old appliances as decoration, which is pretty cool. We'll definitely be back! read more

Perfectly fine but nothing special. Big menu, typical of good ol' diners, and good solid diner food. Nice decor with a bit-fake retro look, and comfy but old seating. Very friendly service, and loved hearing the crew shouting and laughing in the back. read more

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint. There's something on the menu for everyone! I had the Migas which had my preferred finely chopped onion & jal. Not big or chunky. Home fries = potato chunks seasoned & roasted. Hubby had Laura's Big Time plate. It had a little bit of everything- 3 eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and pancakes. People working gave us a nice, genuine vibe - very welcoming. My introverted, quiet hubby said while we were leaving- I feel like I've made new friends and have a new place-:) We sat at the bar area and saw all the food being delivered. Next on our list to try are the onion rings-big & seasoned with light crispy batter. The California Skillet looks incredible! The burgers & sandwiches were big & fresh looking. But then again we're always happy with breakfast foods & they have everything! read more

My hubby and I just stumbled upon this place after an early appointment in the same plaza. Checked yelp reviews and decided to have breakfast at the cute diner. As soon as we walk in, we are met with a friendly smile and greeting. The diner is decorated with vintage kitchen appliances which is cool and feeds into the ol' time diner feel/look. We were seated at a booth right away and offered coffee and anything else to drink. We ordered taco plates. Hubby got the Elgin and I got the bacon taco plate. I had some coffee and hubby had orange juice. Everything was tasty, hot & fresh. Made to order is always great. It guarantees a fresh yummy plate. I would say my only minor opinion is that the potatoes in the taco could have more flavor but other than that everything was great. That includes the service, staff and the good vibes eating there. I would recommend this spot and probably will return when in the area again. What makes this place is the friendly service, freshly made plates and the vibes all combined in a cozy environment. Thank you for keeping true to southern hospitality and sharing the good food. read more

Came in on a busy afternoon and was quickly treated then seated. The service was great, the waitress was friendly and read us the specials. My coffee cup was never empty and the food was delicious (I did the omelette special)! read more

DISGUSTING! : The good - They have a great logo, and the music is very 50's diner-esque. I just got home and immediately got undressed and put my clothes in the wash, because the nasty grease smell came home with me. This place used to be a good place for a regular American style breakfast. NO MORE. Writing this primarily as a reminder to myself to never return. The prices have doubled and the food isn't half as good as it used to be. Service was minimal. When we got there this morning the place was empty which is a bad sign. Bathrooms smelled bad already in the morning. My omelet came with some brown paste that was supposedly guacamole, and was according to the menu supposed to be fresh avocado. Hash browns weren't good. This is sad because I'm in this neighborhood a lot and used to be a good place to spend a little time having coffee and a nice breakfast. The last time I was there it was meh, this time it was NO NO NO. Your mileage may vary, but don't say you weren't warned. Grab a breakfast taco and coffee from almost any trailer will beat the pants off this place. read more

This is just your old school diner and a pleasant change from all the fancy new places around town. I always get breakfast and it's always good. The bacon is the thin stuff, salty. Biscuits are a bit heavier and everything needs a dash of salt and pepper in my opinion. So why does it get 4 stars? Price is OK. Food is fast. Waitresses friendly. And the atmosphere. If you want old school diner. This is the place. read more

Hidden gem! We were looking for a place for breakfast/brunch on a Saturday morning and were able to walk right in and get seated with no waiting! So glad we came! Service was great, food was excellent! I ordered the double trouble two eggs, two bacon, two sausage and two biscuits slathered in sausage gravy, it exceeded expectations! Biscuits are light and fluffy, gravy flavorful and creamy. We also ordered one Jake's ginger pancake to share. My daughter got one of the breakfast specials--Huevos Cobijados which had a wonderful Tex-mex flavor. Thanks Austin Cafe, we will be back! read more

Austin Diner is quickly becoming on of our fav meet up brunch places. Quintessentially Austin and more than diner, it's down home, comfortable and best yet, not for those seeking sleek, ultra trendy venues. If there's a wait, it's a short one. Try to find that at one of those one-syllable new breakfast places. Austin Diner offers mostly the traditionals, but they do do them well. Buttermilk pancakes like out of memaw's house and slammin' biscuits and gravy. And the home fries...they'll light up your brain. Want tacos? Austin Diner serves them up home style and they're not street tacos but full size hunger stoppers. Several breakfast skillets are on offer, including the Californian, for the diet conscious. The coffee is hot and solid good--and that's big for us in a breakfast place. The wait staff is super efficient no matter how busy the diner is. Check out Austin Diner and leave happy! read more

Pretty generic, run of the mill, greasy spoon. Nothing bad, nothing great. Hash brown taste like they're cooked in cheap oil. Krusteaz pancake mix bags in the back. I had the longhorn skillet, the Bell peppers were not pre cooked before throwing onto the skillet. It's a good thing I like them crunchy. It took 35 minutes to get my food after I prefer, I sat at the counter, and the restaurant was at about 75% capacity. Portions were generous though. read more
