    Brisket breakfast burrito
    Ralf R.

    So I was heading out of town going back home and my buddy called wanting to have breakfast. I looked up this location and the pictures looked pretty good. So decided to head over there and tried out. Once I got through the place was really nice, really clean and it was extremely packed.We waited about five minutes for a table, and they sat us down at four cedar. The server was really helpful.Brought us a menu.Everything looked pretty good.I decided to order the brisket burrito.It looked pretty good and he recommended it. I'm gonna start off by saying I got my meal about 10 minutes later. The potatoes were excellent loved. Em didn't have any complaints about Em. They tasted awesome. They were great now. On the other hand the burrito, not so much. The burrito was soggy, something was off with the meat. It tasted kind of bitter. I don't know if it was because of the barbecue sauce or what I ate about.Half of it before I couldn't eat it anymore. And I tossed it the other half. I was extremely disappointed with the meal.I paid about twenty four twenty five dollars.I believe for the meal and had to throw half of it away.Because it just didn't taste right.I didn't wanna make an issue. It looked phenomenal, just didn't taste like that. The other gripe I had was, I took a bite out of some of the burrito and noticed that it was a big glob of fat. Instead of actual brisket meat I probably should have stuck with the regular, which would have been bacon and eggs.But decided to try that.Because the way to recommended it sad I didn't stay with the eggs and bacon. Brisket burrito 2 outa 10 thats being generous Potatoes 5 outa 10 Wait staff 7 outa 10 he was slammed with tables Would I come back probably 50/50 chance to try the eggs and bacon In the picture it looks tasty but in actuality not so much

    First time here service was good, food delivery was prompt. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor.

    Great experience at Phoebe's Diner! The Cheeky Monkey and Brisket Benny were both savory and delicious. A huge standout was the French Toast,it tasted lovely and reminded me almost of a funnel cake! If you love a bold cup of coffee, the Café du Monde is a must-order. The Nitrochata was okay but a bit too mellow for my taste. Despite it being very busy, the staff was super friendly and kept things moving. I'll definitely be back!

    If you have been to their location off of Oltorf, identical menus as expected. However, this location has a much larger seating capacity and more abundant parking. The food is delicious as usual. I went with my usual Big Bacon and Eggs. They had some specials going on, but I couldn't pass up on the big slab of bacon. Service seemed kind of busy due to the amount of people here. The ambiance of the facility is really nice. It felt very open and a lot of lighting with all the windows. The staff here are friendly as their other location.

    Took a trip to Austin to see our son and asked him about this place. His response, "I've always wanted to try it, but it always has a line out the door." Well, we lucked out - apparently it's dead in Austin during the holidays. I had looked at the wrong location online and thought they had outdoor seating, so we brought the pup along, but when we arrived, I realized the mistake I made. I thought we'd have to get back in the Uber and find something else, but nope - bring that cute fella inside was offered! Score - dog friendly indeed! Service was excellent - drinks were never empty, and empty dishes were picked up quickly. Ensuring our food was to our satisfaction also occurred. The food was great! We opted to share the cornbread muffins to start. I opted for the fried chicken and grits. I loved the maple hot sauce - perfect balance of sweet heat. The pickled chilis were also a great addition to have some acid balance. The chicken was moist with a delightfully crispy breading, and the grits were perfect. Maybe a touch too much salt, but that's being nitpicky. I'd for sure come here again!

    Always good for a classic brunch. Weekends are busy, but the weight is normally pretty short. They have outdoor seating, which is nice if you wanna bring your dog.

    I visited the other location awhile back and couldn't wait to go again because I enjoyed it so much the first time. The food is really, really good here. I got the same exact thing I got last time but I imagine everything is good here. Service was quick and friendly. Ambiance is that of a diner style. I definitely recommend stopping here.

    The diner is a cute little spot nicely decorated for Christmas and the staff was very nice and accommodating. When I called to make sure they were open, the hostess was very upbeat and welcoming. Our waiter was very attentive and checking to make sure we were taken care of. The food is very fulfilling with a unique take on their dishes. The shrimp and grits were very good but it had a lot of oils and butter. When transferring it to my to-go box, I had to drain the oils on the plate, so if you're on any kind of diet, you'll be set back for weeks lol but it's completely worth it! My boyfriend got the Brisket Benny, which looked really good but he wasn't a fan-yet ate it all lol. I tried the hash brown casserole and didn't really like it. I couldn't quite figure out what ingredient it had that made it have a weird herb taste to it but I would not recommend it and suggest another side. Overall it was a great experience as a brunch spot on our way home.

    Fun place for Breakfast/Brunch, with indoor and outdoor tables, visited the place around 11 am and got a table right away but place was pretty full however, service was fast and efficient. Food was tasty and generous size. Paid $40 for two plates, no drinks. There is some construction around so parking is a little tie.

    -Brisket Benny-

    Service- Went here on a Thursday Morning around 10:45am. Plenty of open seating so zero wait time.The server was friendly and accommodating. Ambiance- Clean and spacious. Plenty of things on the walls to love at and a handful of tv screens. Food- Ordered the Brisket Benny. Very underwhelming. The egg was cooked well with a nice hard fried bottom yet still very yolky. The brisket on the other hand was bland and tasted like stewed chuck roast. The brisket also had a huge layer of silver skin which was left of which seems like a huge over sight. The BBQ Sauce was so vinegar heavy that I ended up no finishing the dish and instead left still slightly hungry. Overall I don't think I would return.

    -Shrimp and Grits-

    Quick trip to Austin and tried to find nice breakfast restaurant. Omg.. their service was absolutely amazing. Quick and friendly. Our server recommended foods and it was great!!!! We will definitely go back and try different menus,too.

    I loved this place! I went on a Sunday and surprisingly the wait time went by pretty fast. The inside is very cute and they had a wide selection on the menu, both breakfast and lunch items. I got the fried chicken biscuit sandwich and it was amazing!! The staff were very friendly and accommodating as well. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the prices were expensive but the food was definitely great.

    Food was a 10/10 I loved how casual and local it felt. Went on a girls brunch date and we all thought the food was amazing. Service was also great! We went on a Saturday at noon without a reservation and they sat us right away.

    Such a cute place for brunch. I been wanting to try this place since the last time I was in Austin…read more I'm glad I got to try it this time. This place does get busy due to how popular the place is. They don't take reservations, so you have to there to put yourself on the waitlist. While you wait you can order a drink. We didn't since there were other coffee shops I wanted to try. Since everything looked so good on the menu, we asked our waitress what's the most popular. He recommended the chicken & biscuits, cinnamon toast, & the b.e.c sandwich. I ended up getting the b.e.c. sandwich & it was yummy. The sesame challah bun was soft & toasty. The bacon was smoky & crispy. The bacon, pimiento cheese, jalapeño jam, sunny egg, & arugula in the sandwich was the perfect combination for a breakfast sandwich. The potato wedges that it was served with were crispy, well seasoned, & not salty as all. My boyfriend ordered the chicken & biscuit & it was yummy as well. The chicken was crispy & juicy. Paired with the hot honey made it better. The biscuit was fluffy, but I wished it was more buttery. Overall, everything was so good. I'm definitely gonna try the cinnamon toast & other foods the next time I'm in Austin.

Friendly staff overall. The food fell flat for almost all of us. The salads were fresh and good. However, the ribs were below average. Cornbread was stale and not tasty. Biscuits tasted more like firm bread and not at all flaky/soft. That seemed weird to all of us. Chicken fried steak was soggy and not crispy. Drinks were ok. Not quite sure why the food was subpar, but there were 10 of us who all agreed we wouldn't return for food. There is a swanky little cozy speakeasy in the basement that may be good? We didn't try that.

We were both starving and this place is open 24/7. I drove by it for 20 years on the way to Avenue Barber Shop. I wanted shredded beef tacos but couldn't get them without cilantro so I chose shredded beef enchiladas (with an $8!) side of chips and salsa. My wife ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and home fries. She requested soft eggs, as she always does because too many places overcook them. The chips and salsa arrived. I was immediately disappointed. The menu said "we make our own chips." They were thick and yellow and appeared to be run-of-the-mill, out-of-a-bag chips. I prefer the thin white ones. I took one bite of salsa, and that was one bite too many. Cumin. I pushed it all aside. Cumin doesn't belong in salsa. (Sorry. I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley.) My enchiladas came with black beans, and there was cumin in them. Cumin is overused and abused in most restaurants. I couldn't eat them. The rice was good but the chipotle sauce on the enchiladas was not. I scraped most of the sauce off and ate one enchilada, mainly because I just needed something in my stomach. We were still 45 miles from home. I pushed my plate away. I also ordered coffee. One sip of that was all I could stand. Too weak for me. It gets worse, much worse. My wife's eggs were barely cooked. She asked the waiter for some cooked eggs. He took her plate and returned about four minutes later. The eggs were still not cooked. She tried another bite but couldn't eat them. Her bacon was tough as a boot and not chewable. The home fries were average, but by the time her plate arrived at our table for the second time, they were cold. I pulled my card out waiting for our excellent server to return. He asked how everything was (he had to notice two plates still covered with food) and we politely told him. I ate one enchilada and some rice. My wife had two bites of egg and two bites of potato. He apologized and handed me the check. $65. Nothing comped and nothing adjusted. A manager should've been summoned. How does a place like this have any customers? It was our first and last visit.
