Amazing staff!!! Just amazing!! From the host to the servers they are just happy people and very attentive. I ordered the badass bacon plate and ordered classic Bloody Mary with crispy bacon and it was absolutely delicious. The hashbrown was creamy and flavorful and paired well with their smoky salsa!!! 1000/10 highly recommended!! read more

I found it by coincidence as we were searching for a homestyle breakfast spot and it did not disappoint. I ended up finding the yelp page and added myself to the waitlist which worked perfectly for us. Upon arrival, we were told that it would be about a 5-10min wait even though we were still 8th or 9th in line. After we were seated, we ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes! Truly a must! Guava Lemonade and Blood Orange Juice were ordered in the meanwhile. We ordered 3 separate items: One was a skillet type dish Chile Relleno (it's a HUGE portion) - i added the chorizo and it added more flavor. Fried Chicken & Grits All 3 items were definitely well served for their price points and were delicious. I'm curious to try out additional items from their menu, so I will definitely return! read more

Absolutely recommend Phoebe's!! We came on a Saturday , waited like 15 minutes. It was live though for sure, consistent traffic which is great news. Ordered the Double Buzz and 2 of these will get you right. The coffee ice cube is genius of course so your drink doesn't get watered down. The Fried Chicken biscuit was the BEST thing on the table & you HAAVE to get a side of the sage sausage gravy it was DELICIOUS! So much flavor and a gravy done RIGHT! I really enjoyed the buttermilk flapjacks & the badass bacon + eggs was perfect! The thick cut bacon that's how you bacon ! Bananas fosters French toast was tasty and table shared it. It was sweet but really good Deep fried French toast was also good , really fluffy but I preferred the pancakes. Definitely a must have for a breakfast spot read more

Far above average menu, service, and food. Comfortable diner type ambiance. They leave a "jokes book" On each table to encourage smiles and laughter. It's expensive for breakfast. $20.00-$30.00 each read more

Good place, got there before the crowd. The parking was horrible and a bit confusing especially if you're not used to Austin. The service was ok. The waitress was nice but she only came by like once to check on us and I didn't even get to get a refill. The place inside is pretty nice. The food was good. Not super amazing but good for me to eat, get full and not feel gross afterwards. read more

Have been across the street from the downtown location for a week and am so impressed with the service, turnaround time and the taste of the food. I can walk in at the lunch rush and order, eat and be out of there in 40 minutes. I've tried the fried chicken sandwich and the fried shrimp poboy and both were top of the charts! Love the batter on the fried chicken. I'm from the south and they know how to make fried chicken. Their tots are always crunchy too! Had the fried shrimp poboy today and loved that it was on Gambino's bread - which is essential to a delicious poboy! Being from Louisiana, I very much loved their version. They have pickled cucumbers in there that is a nice crunch too. And definitely add the jalapeño remoulade -gives it a nice punch! The decor is gorgeous and tastefully done too! read more

I came in a large group. The staff was incredibly attentive, patient, and accommodating. Our server was great and did a good job handling our tables. This restaurant isn't ideal for a large group as it is a bit of a smaller restaurant but the staff was gracious enough to make it work. The service was 5 star. My food... 3 stars. I ordered the brisket benny. The brisket was fatty and not very flavorful. The hashbrown casserole was very okay. Overall, the food was average but the service was phenomenal. Some of the people at my table enjoyed their food so maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I'd be open to trying Phoebe's again to see if I like the next dish better. read more

This was our second visit to Phoebe's. This morning I had the relleno breakfast. OMG...it was so delicious. The relleno had a crispy, crunchy shell that was stuffed with perfectly scrambled eggs and a delicious tomato based sauce on the side. My husband ordered everything a la cart and ate every bite. The coffee was strong, black and hot. The server was attentive and friendly. Such a cute place. Yes, we will be back. read more

Came here for lunch for lunch yesterday with my boyfriend and had a really nice time. Our server was super sweet and gave great recommendations. We got the crispy brussel sprouts which were very good and had came with some aioli sauce which I loved. I got the brisket burrito and enjoyed it but wasn't crazy about it. It had a lottt of cheese and I wasn't sure how I felt about the hash brown casserole being in there. I didn't try my boyfriend's burger but it looked great and I enjoyed some of the tater tots. Overall, I would definitely come back and next time I might try the French toast because it looked actually insane. read more

First, I love that you can "add to waitlist" for this restaurant! The perfect way to limit your onsite wait time, esp in this heat! We were greeted promptly by our waiter who let us know the specials as well as his faves, got our drinks and dove into the expansive menu. Ended up ordering his recommendation of the fried chicken and grits and a side of brussel sprouts to share! That was the way to go! The one serving was plenty for two, esp for such a heavy dish. Everything was delicious. We were totally engrossed in convo so I took zero pics and want to return to really savor the food and perhaps round up to 5* Service was five star. He checked in on us, but didn't hover. Splitting checks was super easy and I'll definitely return to try something new. The pimento cheese omelette sounded so good. read more

Phoebe's Diner - Gettin buzzed with the double buzz! - Diners Near Me - Austin, Texas

Another pleasant surprise!!! I was invited here for a brunch! We had about 14-16 people so we had to sit separately! So I wouldn't advice going with parties over 8 unless you don't mind sitting separate. This would be my only con. The food was amazing!!!! Their bacon which isn't pictured is so thick and flavorful! You can ask for extra crispy which gives me a pork skin crunch flavor! The French toast I couldn't even finish but I surely wanted to take home. Not overly sweet, and don't need to add any extra syrup or anything! Nice and soft The fried chicken biscuit only comes with a bottom biscuit which through me off at first but it was Perfect. The top bottom wbun would have been too much. I changed to American cheese from cheddar and got my egg fried hard. Delish! The casserole and potatoes needed a bit more seasoning! read more

Went on a Tuesday morning so it was nice and easy to get in. We were sat right away and drink orders taken right away. Few minutes later we received our drinks and ordered food. Within 5-6 minutes our food arrived! I ordered the Badass Bacon & Eggs! I've never had Slab bacon but it was great! Thick and cooked perfectly, eggs were just what I asked for, and wheat toast was toasty. Plate was also Served with hash brown casserole and smoked tomato salsa! My coworker got a bunch of ala-cart items and he tore them up! Nice little diner feel, wonderful staff, and great food! Would definitely go back if in the area! Make sure not to park in front, you'll get a ticket or towed as the parking is for the government building next door! read more

Surprisingly, at noon on a Saturday we were able to get seated immediately. They do not take reservations but we were able to bring 16 people, including some kids and strollers. The service was very quick and everyone was extremely friendly. I got the chorizo hash, which is basically a kind of fall harvest bowl with egg and guac. It was tasty and the perfect size for one person. The smoked beet hash also got good words from my friends. The spinach salad with chicken was a disappointment since the chicken was dry and the salad too plain. The brussel sprouts had good flavor but they were a bit too crispy for my taste. There's street parking across the place! Overall, a good experience and perhaps I'll be back to try one of their omelets. read more

The bananas foster French toast was SO GOOD! Def recommend checking this diner out. read more

I recently stumbled upon Phoebe's Diner on Memorial Day and what a pleasant surprise! We walked in around 2PM, not knowing they closed at 3PM. We were seated right away and the service was great. I ordered their fried chicken biscuit and shared a blood orange mimosa pitcher with a friend. I'm a major fan of friend chicken and biscuits - these were seriously top tier! Be sure to get the gravy on the side, it's perfectly spices and I ended up dipping, well everything in there. The fried chicken was abundantly seasoned and the biscuit was EXCELLENT, flaky, cheesy, simply amazing. Even the potatoes were fire, though not a priority on the plate. read more

We were in Austin for the weekend just as a last minute get away! Saw this restaurant on Yelp for breakfast and had great readings ! When we arrived we were seated promptly! The waiter was very friendly and personal. My wife ordered the corn bread for a appetizer! It was served with a strawberry jam, a jalapeño jelly, and butter! The cornbread was excellent and very tasty! It was 4 of us and I almost ordered another order. My two daughters had the special: Brioche French Toast with blueberry sausage! Now I know that sausage sounds weird but it was amazing ( not sweet at all but very savory). The French toast required no syrup and was served with fruit on top and cinnamon sugar crunch! I has the crab and crawfish Benedict! It's not your average Benny, more of a crab and crawfish patty with hollandaise sauce and eggs on top. But by no means does it change how delicious it was! My wife Hd the chorizo hash! Deep flavors with eggs on top ( anyway you want it prepared). I also had coffee that was very smooth and not too strong and my wife had a mimosa that she enjoyed as well! I am glad we tried this place out as it was a delight! read more

This was a popular brunch spot on Yelp so I had to check it out. When my boyfriend and I arrived it was pretty crowded outside, a lot of people waiting for a table. We added our name to the waitlist which moved really quickly; we were #26 but got called to be sat. We started with south first tots and 2 cocktails. I forget the names but I had a clementine margarita and my bf had a spiked coffee drink. The tots were extremely hearty but very good. The drinks were tasty. I had the fried chicken biscuit with a side of sausage gravy and my bf had the chicken sandwich (fried). The fried chicken was soooo good. My meal came with roasted potatoes which were good but I would've preferred fries or home fries, still good nonetheless. Our server was so nice. We really really enjoyed our meal. This is a solid breakfast/brunch spot and I would regularly come here if we were local. read more

We are passing through town and I always use Yelp to find the best spots to eat. This spot came up as locally owned and rated very high so we decided to give it a try. This particular location does not have parking which is a bummer so 2 to 3 dollars for a couple of hours of parking is not bad. Also upon entry, the host was a bit smug. She wasn't terribly friendly, but she sat us right away. The waiter, on the other hand was as friendly as they come! I forgot his name but he made great recommendations and our food came out within 10 minutes. I originally ordered the shrimp and grits but failed to see that it contained chorizo so I had to send it back and settle for the fried chicken and grits. Both dishes that we had, below were amazing! My six-year-old devoured everything. No crumbs left behind! read more

For little wait, make sure you add yourself to the Yelp waitlist. We did so when we were strolling down at the capitol building. We ended up with a table outside. It is a very busy place. Deep fried French toast was amazing. The "star" of the breakfast menu for sure. Whipped cream and decadent. Taquitos salad was pathetic. The salad was small and we probably should have ordered something else. The restroom wait is long so I would recommend planning accordingly. I think there are only 2 restrooms which makes it difficult when you have to go. For a place serving this many people, they may want to add more stalls. read more

Yummy! I was in town for a conference and my boyfriend and I were grabbing an early breakfast before the event started, which led us to Phoebe's at open on a Thursday morning. We were greeted and sat quickly by the friendly staff. The restaurant itself was very cute, very farmhouse-chic which I didn't necessarily expect based on the outside or surroundings. We each started with a Vietnamese coffee--it was fine, but far from my favorite Vietnamese coffee I've ever had. I had the smoked beet hash and added brisket to it, and my boyfriend had the migas with chorizo. My hash was very tasty, super smoky, and a huge bowl of food. The egg was cooked nicely and the brisket was excellent. A huge huge huge guacamole fan, I surprised even myself when I told my boyfriend that the guacamole did not belong on this dish. It was the only cold item and everything else was piping hot--which resulted in a weird semi-warm guac. My boyfriend liked his migas, but he did not receive the chorizo with it (he ultimately was fine with this). The potatoes were definitely the standout, and the rest of the dish he said was good. We'd eat here again for sure; I've got my eye on that scotch egg! read more

The atmosphere was nice, just note that there is not a dedicated parking lot for this location. We arrived at noon on a Friday and were able to be seated right away. My husband enjoyed the cold brew. The food was absolutely amazing!!! The chicken was well seasoned and juicy. The biscuit was the perfect consistency. The pepper jam and sausage gravy were perfect additions. The French toast was much bigger than in the pictures so I made the mistake of ordering a side egg and bacon. Loved it!!! This place is definitely being put on our list of breakfast spots in Austin. read more

While in Austin we have to be cautious where we eat. My husband is allergic to gluten. A lot of places have limited options if any. We were pleasantly surprised at their selection of gluten free items that our server (Janna) ( I apologize if misspelled!) pointed out to us. We had the best service and the food was awesome! Phoebe's has a great vibe and atmosphere. Our compliments to the staff, especially Janna, you guys made our morning! We felt welcomed and well feed as we left. Thank you! Warren and Larry read more

We had a great breakfast here, everything came out hot and delicious. They serve some of the best bacon I've ever had, and I've traveled halfway around the world! The server was nice and professional; a little smile would've been the cherry on top, lol. Still, a solid 5-star experience. read more

Cast: - 4 people - 1:30 PM - Monday Food Adventures: - Brussels Sprouts: Topped with aioli sauce and cheese, crisped to perfection. If you don't like mayo, skip the sauce. But honestly, I'd order this again. So tasty. The best part of our meal. - 1/2 Order of Biscuits and Gravy: Not your traditional plate. The biscuits are made in-house, square. They have a heavy herb and spice flavor, but way too much salt. High hopes, dashed dreams. Skip it and try something else. - Deep-Fried French Toast: Looks and sounds good. And they are... for something fried. I wouldn't order again, but if you like fried food, you might enjoy it. It's a massive slice of bread. - Kids' Grilled Cheese: Came burnt but they remade it. Tasty, buttery, and good. Perfect for a little one who loves grilled cheese and doesn't mind a wait. - Pancakes with Added Strawberries: Tasty, fluffy, and delicious. But very small. More like pancake tapas. -the only downside the total: $48 and we still left hungry. Parking Misadventures: This place was walking distance from our hotel, but we opted to drive since we weren't familiar with the area. Parking was not easy. I'd recommend walking if you can. We even talked about taking a scooter next time. Despite everything, I'd be willing to give this place another try if the family was on board. Atmosphere: Clean, friendly, loud, with comfy booths. Our waitress was very friendly. However, the real entertainment was at the next table, where a couple was basically undressing and making out. The woman was sucking his finger and making "the face" while doing it. That was a fun show for our kids....I know this has nothing to do with the restaurant or food, but it was part of our experience. Maybe the show turned us off the food. Who knows? Verdict: Phoebe's Diner is a cute place with a diner feel and diner food. Come for the Brussels sprouts, stay for the people-watching (or not). Maybe you'll have better luck with the people. I would come back and give it another try and order different items. read more

Walked over to Phoebe's downtown on a Saturday morning for breakfast and really enjoyed the experience. Phoebe's was busy but the wait for a table was assuaged by the bar server who took our order for two Bloody Mary's which were well crafted. The wait was only about 10 minutes and our server could not have been better - attentive, informative, friendly. We ordered the fried chicken biscuit and the chicken fried steak and both were excellent. Generous portions, nicely presented, and very tasty.
