As I visited my family in Lancaster CA, we stopped into a cafe that I have driven by for many years and always had in mind to try, Phebie's Cafe. From the main road it may not be as inviting but once you are inside and see the quality of the food and experience the friendly staff, I can see why they have so many great reviews. The old style diner did not disappoint, they have a large menu, including an extensive breakfast menu. We ordered the Chorizo Delight, what a huge serving of eggs and chorizo with an ample serving of hash browns, you also have some flexibility of various options like home fries, biscuits and gravy or pancakes. The chorizo was good tasting, we also noticed that they offered a home made salsa, we asked for a taste, it was amazing. We also ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, the portion size was also huge, my brother loved the dish, it has a pile of gravy, sausage patty, hashbrowns and fruit bowl. The staff was extremely friendly and quick to check in. We would highly recommend this spot. read more

Cute little diner in a great location. First time trying Phebie's Cafe and oh my lord what an experience. Everything was cooked and prepared beautifully. Our waitress and cook was outstanding and very attentive to our needs. The food was so delicious and I enjoyed every bit of it, I even gave the chef a fist bump. Left with a full belly and a big smile. We will be returning customers for sure. Thank you Phebie's!!!!!! read more

Phebie's is a old hole in the wall kinda diner. Food is great and but place is small and Busy but you feel at home being served an auntie/mom read more

The food and service was amazing to me. I've eaten there twice and I've really been blown away by the taste of food and the portion size each time. Today, I had the biscuit and gravy combo and it was really good! The biscuits were huge and were fluffy like biscuits are supposed to be. My wife got stuffed french toast and it was really good too. What a breakfast!!! Easily my favorite place in the AV. I'll be going back for sure...a somewhat unasuming facade, to be sure. The food and service was top-notch though. It is a shining gem and a really good place to go. I highly recommend this place, just make sure there's food left for me...lol. read more

This place doesn't miss. They've turned into the breakfast date spot for lil one & I. She gets excited every time we park outside & starts ranting about how nice everyone is and how cool the Coca Cola clock is. The service is always on point, you're treated like a family member visiting town. The food is made like your grandparents are excited that you're spending the morning with them. Everything is cozy & warm. Definitely a gem in the Antelope Valley read more

You don't just stumble into a place like Phebie's Cafe, you find it, like a sun-bleached secret halfway between nowhere and a dream. Surrounded by the brutal beauty of the desert, endless, stubborn and alive there it is. A real-deal, no-bullshit hole-in-the-wall with a sun-warped sign and taped-up bench seats that have seen more stories than most novels. Inside, it's a mix of everybody: dusty ranchers, road-weary locals, a couple of hungover kids who took a wrong turn somewhere, people of all walks of life. Veteran-owned, the kind of place where the people behind the counter have lived a little harder and earned every wrinkle and scar, they bring that same grit to every plate they serve. The menu? Breakfast only. Because why mess with what you know? Plates piled high with biscuits drowned in real sausage gravy, eggs so fresh you wonder if the chicken is out back and the chili o the chili, to die for!!!Homemade recipes that taste like they were passed down from some grandmother who wasn't afraid of butter or salt -- and thank god for that. You sit, you eat, you listen. You realize that Phebie's isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you. It's trying to remind you what it feels like to be human in a world that's moving way too fast. And if you're lucky, maybe you'll leave a little more real than when you came in. read more

The owner Martha is horrible I ordered a Ruben today 16.99 and it only had 2 thin slices of meat on it! This place is known for larger portions! When I spoke to the rude owner Martha she said we are not a deli and that's how it comes!! Last time I will go there, I have been a local for years and spend usually around 70 bucks eating there, and go usually 3 times a month, all she had to do is give me a respectable amount of pastrami! I hope that meat was worth losing a long time customer!! Martha needs to learn customer service read more

food is fantastic, servings are great. Service is always on par, place is small and a get busy so plan accordingly or leave early to beat the crowd. read more

I stopped here today after my sister had told me she was eating breakfast here. I was only going to say hi but I decided to grab a bite to eat and let me tell you, it was so delicious. The waitress was super nice and super kind. She brought my drink out and took my order in a timely manner. I ordered the French toast combo and it was one of the best French toast I've ever had. It was so good the plate was clean at the end. The interior is super cute and plenty of dining space. I will definitely be back soon and may become a frequent visitor. read more

I went to Phebies Cafe for a quick meal. The atmosphere was pleasant but busy. The waitresses were running around getting food out and serving customers. I ordered the French Dip with BBQ sauce and fries. The Fries tasted as if they were cooked sat out then re-cooked. Which i never had an issue before. I explained my concern to Sue the Waitress who is awesome and she informed the cook/owner. The Cook/owner came over to my table and tried to minimize my complaint saying she cooked the food and it was fine. I informed her That I never had a complaint about the fries but today I did. The cook/owner refused to take responsibility for the complaint and did not want to take ownership of the problem, and instead dismissed my complaint as unimportant saying the fries are frozen then cooked. I am a regular customer here, but because of the cook/owners attitude towards my concern is will not be back. I wasn't looking for a refund or replacement just addressing my complaint about the stale fries. The owner or cook whoever she is needs a course in customer service and learn how to address complaints or issues when they arise. read more

Great customer service and there French toast are amazing !!!! 10/10 big servings too !

Amazing food and great service even when it's busy one of those places you hope is around as long as you are!

This place is a little cafe and the vibe is very chill and homey. We were greeted right away and got seated right away as well. The coffee was good. FOOD: Deluxe Combo: The pancakes were cooked beautifully, nice and fluffy in the center with a crispy edge. Overall the cook on everything was great. My eggs were a little over what I wanted but still delicious! Biscuits and Gravy: The biscuit tastes like it is made in house and is very good. Maybe slightly more salt. The gravy was delicious, nice with a little bit of spice, sweetness, and savoriness. OVERALL: Service was great and friendly. They say they want you to feel at home and they definitely delivered! I would definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area. read more

Another cute place to eat great food. I would highly recommend this place. The service was quick and on point. My steak was juicy and tender. read more

WOW! This spot is amazing! The food, vibe, and service! They get your meal out crazy fast and the portions are huge!

It's good but I feel the food is a little mediocre compared to other brunch locations in the AV. The staff is friendly but the menu is outdated and it needs to catch up with today's creative menus. read more

The food is so good! The service outstanding! Best steak and eggs in town. The California omelette is so tasty! They treat you like family.

Excellent food. Old fashioned , good old American cooking. The staff is very nice and the food hits home. You won't get this kind of food anymore these days read more

They are one of the few restaurants that can make crispy hash browns! I didn't like the biscuits and gravy that much. The biscuits were slightly undercooked and the gravy was just okay Still as close to a classic American dips you can get in the area read more

Amazing food, great customer service, and reasonable prices! Felt very homey, I loved it!

I went there last month for breakfast. The food is horrible. I will not be returning to that place.

First time here, Christmas Eve morning for breakfast with my son. OMG! We Were Not Disappointed!! My normal order of sm. slice Ham, Eggs over med., home fries, toast. Figured the normal Oval, 1/8" Ham 'steak', NOPE! What was served was a 1/2 Slice of 1/2" thick, juicy, full flavored, tender Ham Steak! Home Fries were well cooked, no hard Surprise bites! lol. Bell pepper and onion chunks that flavored nicely, but easy to see and pull out. I like the flavor of both, but not the bite. Something that I Always complain about when I order toast, is that I can never tell which side the toast is buttered or it there is any. Not here! Not only could you tell which was buttered, but the buttered side was against the other buttered side of the other piece. No greasy fingers! lol. Little things that make dining out more enjoyable. Unfortunately, I do have 1 complaint. I knew I wasn't going to be able to finish and definitely was going to take the rest home. As I was getting close to the end, I asked for a box, thinking I could continue to finish while waitress was getting the box. WRONG!! Waitress took my plate! I was still eating, when I asked, waitress reached down took my plate and walked away before I could say anything! lol Yes she brought it back eventually, but if I knew she was going to grab my plate, I would have had my hand on it! lol. Next time, I'll be prepared to DEFEND THE PLATE!! LOL read more

The last 2 times I came here they where busy, thing is even though I was next on their list both times they seated parties that arrived after I did before they sat me. This is discrimination, I will try it again and continue to document their discriminatory actions read more

I came back after a year because of the experience but today was very awesome food fresh my waitress was amazing of course thank you I'll be back read more

Well, we finally decided to stop at the side of the road beat up looking diner. Driven past this place 1000 times. Have to say the food was excellent. Biscuits and gravy were on point. The 1 pound ham steak was amazing. Grilled to perfection. My only complaint was my home fries, the onions and bell peppers were undercooked. Very good omelettes, steak was delicious. The homemade salsa was also very good. Prices were average for this area. Around 35 bucks each with drinks, tax and tip. read more

service wasn't very attentive. my plate was hotter than my actual food. the portions were smaller than i expected...raul's review really sold me to come try this little place out as well as a few others but my overall experience definitely didnt match what i read. very disappointed and will not be back. read more

My husband and I have been to may restaurants but nothing like this one the service is great, the people are friendly and the food is ti die for. We have driven by this place many times, never stop until today. We are glad we did. There's no wait time, and the waiter Luis was very friendly. We highly recommend everyone to come and experience the great service and best food you could eat. Definitely come back for all the different foods they have on the menu. read more

This is a hidden gem. Our server was super kind and attentive. The food was better than I expected and the portions were pretty big. This is definitely the best breakfast I've had out here. read more

I visited Phebie's Cafe for the 1st time. I was visiting the Lancaster area. Foremost ,I gave Phebie's Cafe 4 stars because of their cinnamon bun. It is delicious. It is home made and it is shareable ,perhaps 2-3 people. I will definitely return for the cinnamon bun and decaf coffee. For breakfast I ordered the corn beef hash with 2 eggs. I substituted the side for tomatoes for an additional charge. The orange juice is freshly squeezed. I ordered it with the biscuits and gravy. The gravy has an acquired taste. The biscuit was dry and was not fresh. They as well get a plus because they had orange marmalade and blackberry jam. They have salt & pepper , Tapatio, Tabasco/Chalula/ creamers , sugar accessible at the booth. They have booth style sitting. The staff was friendly. However you have to request your server for refills, napkins , etc. Areas of Growth : I had to return my egg because it was spoiled. However they brought me a new egg. The tomatoes were soggy and not fresh. I would suggest for the restaurant to have fresh vegetables daily for the customers since their is added charge. I was not offered an discount for the applied egg or soggy tomatoes. I will return , however I will check my meal before eating. I will like to explore and try different menu items s read more

Food was good, service was good. Tried the chicken fried steak meal and the French toast combo. The steak was battered, seasoned and fried to perfection. The French toast had a great flavor, churro like, but was not overly sweet, neither was the syrup. The home fries definitely won over the hash browns, although both cooked perfectly, the home fries had wayyyy more flavor. Might be my go-to for breakfast now. read more
