Fantastic brunch experience. The dishes were creative but still comforting, and everything tasted homemade. Staff were friendly from the moment we walked in, and the atmosphere was bright and welcoming. I'd definitely recommend making this a regular weekend stop. read more

I honestly don't understand why this place has such a high rating -- maybe it's just because there aren't many breakfast spots in Austin? It honestly felt like the food was cooked for pigs. Everything looked unappetizing and downright ugly. The quality was terrible and the taste even worse. The bacon was as thick as a steak and dripping in grease. The coffee was sour. And the French toast? I've never seen anything like it -- basically a dry, greasy crouton drowning in a mountain of fatty whipped cream. This might be the worst restaurant I've ever been to. The only redeeming quality was the service -- the waiters were nice and attentive. But whoever is in the kitchen seriously needs to go learn how to cook actual food. read more

Phoebe's Diner - French toast - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

The service was excellent. The staff seated us quickly as soon as a booth was available. Food: * Cornbread: Delicious, with three different spreads that each brought out unique flavors. * Brisket Burrito: This one was a bit dry, so not our favorite. * Chorizo Hash: Absolutely loved it! The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors blended perfectly. * Maza Cakes: Tried these for the first time and highly recommend them. Overall, I'd definitely go back--especially to try their bananas French toast! read more

I'm not sure how to put this politely, without coming off sounding as an entitled jerk. Well let's start off with the service, it was fast and friendly. The ambiance was that if any Sunday morning breakfast spot, busy & crowded. The main attraction was SUPPOSED to be the food.. Here's the back story, I was supposed to go to First Watch like I do every Sunday too have my Pancakes & eggs and bacon. This particular Sunday they were really busy so I decided to go to Phoebe's . Here are my issues with the food.. 1. The size of their Flap Jack's are smaller than McDonald's & Whataburger. 2. The Flap Jack's were not favorable at all.. The taste was between wet flour with a hint of dish washing detergent. I really mean that and I'm not trying to be sarcastic. 3. The pricing point.. Let's just say this I could have gotten bigger and better tasting pancakes and eggs at First Watch & Waffle House for less money. Overall I will give my breakfast experience 2 down. Next time I will wait instead of getting gouged for subpar food. read more

There was a wait but we got seated within 10 minutes of putting our name on the list and there was 4 of us. Our waiter Ernesto was amazing and easy to speak with! He definitely deserves a raise! I had the pimento omelet, my daughter had the kids bacon and eggs, my mom got some al a carte items, and my sister had the badass bacon and eggs. I cleaned my plate it was great! They have some cute quotes on the walls also. Great place for brunch or breakfast. read more

With a few different locations throughout Austin, Phoebe's seems to be one of the more popular diner destinations in the city. We went to the Burnet Road location and here's what we found: The food is very very hit or miss. We've gone a few times and depending on what you order you will either get something incredibly delicious or disappointingly mediocre. For example, their smoked brisket burrito is out of this world. Quite honestly might be the best breakfast burrito I've ever had with every flavor pulling it together perfectly. On the other hand, we ordered the mozzarella omelette which looks like someone just threw whatever kitchen scraps they had on the plate and called it a day. The taste wasn't bad per se, but the presentation was dreadful. Likewise, the fried chicken and grits is very middle of the pack. The goat cheese grits are almost just feta cheese purée, the taste is so overwhelmingly feta. The fried chicken was lightly breaded and delicious but the grits held it all back. The pancakes are slightly above average but the side of bacon was thick and overcooked. The atmosphere itself is nice, not too loud and very ample seating available. The service is friendly and the food came out pretty quick. Unfortunately, Phoebe's just has an ambitious menu of flavors but doesn't quite pull it together at a clip that warrants a higher rating. read more

My awesome fellow teachers and I were all debating about the best casual brunch spots in Austin on Friday, and my offering was Jack Allen's! The hubby and I love that place! Somebody else mentioned Phoebe's Diner, and he said that you haven't lived if you haven't tried their Bananas Foster French Toast. I'm not much of a sweet brunch person, but my husband definitely is, so we're headed there on this Labor Day weekend Sunday to finally give Phoebe's a shot! Bonus: I hear that they have mimosas, which are a must for a proper brunch IMO. LOL! I LOVE that they have a Yelp waitlist option! I just popped us on there. 30 to 45 minutes isn't too shabby at 11:45am! (they actually just sat us way early! We feel lucky!) This place has such cute vibes, y'all! It's so stinkin' brunchy! Busy and vibey! Our server is Lillian, and she's darling! We ordered the Premium Juice Carafe with Blood Orange and Grapefruit to start out because...why not, right? We got the Cheeky Monkey as a snack, and then hubby, of course, got the Bananas Foster French Toast, and a side of bacon for that savory balance, per Lillian's suggestion. Genius! I ordered Phoebe's Benedict with hard eggs because I'm not a fan of runny. Sacrilege, I know! Here are our thoughts! Cheeky Monkey: While we gave away our menus, so we're not sure what's in this besides a poached egg, this is AWESOME! Crispy, creamy, and the gravy is to DIE for! It's reminiscent, says my husband, of a British scotch egg, but on steroids! He's a huge fan! I'm saving myself for brekky, but he's devouring it! Bananas Foster French Toast: This. Is. Insane. One bite into it, and it has become Chris's favorite French toast in, and I quote, THE ENTIRE WORLD! He's adding it to the finale of his last meal on Death Row. Phoebe's Benedict: This was some serious buttery goodness! I'll be honest, y'all, that it was slightly too much for me! It almost looked like the French toast when it was being brought out, but trust me when I say that it was delicious! The bread is their biscuit, I think, and slap yo mama! DECADENT! It just lacked a tad bit of freshness for my preference, but that's ENTIRELY on me for not reading the menu properly! Next time, I'm all in on the Pimento Omelette! All in all, we're charmed and delighted, and the place was a winner winner! We're adding it to our repertoire, for sure! So fun! And such positive energy! Thanks, Lillian, and thank you, Phoebe's Diner! Happy hubby, happy life! read more

Phoebe's Diner is an excellent spot for brunch in Austin! There's new dishes I've never had and classic dishes with a little bit of a twist. I ended up getting the nitro-chata - it was good but it was a smaller portion than what I'd pay for at a coffee shop. I also ordered the burrata omelette and a side of biscuits with the sage gravy. My husband ordered the migas and a side of buttermilk pancakes. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomach because we didn't even finish half our food before we were stuffed and took home the leftovers (no regrets at all though) Everything we ordered was delicious, my favorites being the burrata omelette and pancakes! The biscuits tasted even better the next day as it soaked up all the gravy. Even though the wait was ~45 minutes, it was really convenient to put our name on the wait-list so we only waited a few minutes when we got to the restaurant in person. I'd def recommend Phoebes Diner to anyone who wants to have a delicious, hearty brunch! read more

Phoebe's Diner - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

This review is 2 days late, due to family in town. We choose Phoebe's for breakfast Sunday morning. We beat the rush and were immediately seated. The menu was extensive. One thing I loved was that they offered an alternative to milk or half and half for coffee. They had an option for almond milk, which I loved. Secondly the offered Momo's for your michelada's, a delicious alternative to any for of tomato juice. If you haven't tried Momo's do yourself a favor and give it a whirl. As an appetizer, I ordered the fried green tomatoes. They were so good, actually some of the best I have ever had. Served with a buttermilk ranch dressing and some hot sauce, which tasted like an elite Frank's hot sauce, so yummy! I opted for the chicken fried steak covered in a deliciously, savory sage gravy. I was in heaven. It was served with grilled asparagus and red potatoes. The asparagus was out of this world. The only thing missing was a biscuit, which I am sure I could have ordered, but my eyes are usually much bigger than my stomach. The dish was absolutely amazing and so tasty. By this time the place was hopping and the line was out the door on this very chilly morning. Spencer was our waitperson and despite being busy, he stayed on top of our orders and made himself present on multiple occasions. As I mentioned above the menu at Phoebe's was extensive and I can't wait to go back and give others options. I kept eating my granddaughter's tater tots which were superb, so I will definitely have to get an order of those. You will not be disappointed, I promise! read more

What a fun spot!! The place was very spacious but cozy. The menu was really varied and had options even for my vegetarian guest. Everyone cleaned their plates! Oh- and they handed out joke books along with menus when they sat us! My partner had waaaayyy too much fun with the knock knock jokes read more

This place was an AMAZING pick for a girls' brunch! We were seated right away and the server was friendly and attentive. Top picks that we enjoyed: delicious Bloody Mary, fried green tomatoes, and the smoked brisket burrito. Everything was cooked to perfection. Also worthy of mention is the really fun and unique decor. I'll definitely be coming here again on my next trip to Austin. read more

We hopped in line ahead of time via Yelp! Our table was ready in less than 5 minutes. Service was very fast and the waiter provided great insight on the menu items. We ordered the fried green tomatoes which are breaded in a cornmeal batter and served with ranch and hot sauce. 8/10 I tried the beet hash (vegetarian) it was really delicious! The egg and guac on top was a nice touch and really brought it all together ! 10/10 We also has the burrata omelette which came with a delectable tomato gravy, and a healthy scoop of pesto. Kinda reminded me of a homemade tomato and Basil soup. We ordered a side of sourdough to dip in the gravy! 10/10 They have a lot of austin texas and modern decor with unique lighting. We love that they built a phoebes up north! Can't wait to go back! read more

The service is good but the food is subpar. I ordered the brisket benny and the brisket tastes exactly like Manwich canned meat. This is not a traditional breakfast spot, it is very experimental. Persoanlly not a fan but it could be your thing. read more

The food: I had the chicken and grits which had some decent heat on it. I enjoyed it but by the end was pushing through the hot maple syrup. I had a margarita that was ok but not that I would get again. I think I just ended up ordering something's that I didn't love but I am confident I would feel more satisfied during a second visit. The vibe: great brunch spot. Came with some friends and we stayed for quite awhile catching up. We did not feel rushed and our server was awesome. They were busy but she always made time to check on us. read more

I love diners, Phoebe's is a very capable We ordered some breakfast prior to a meetup with our godson in Cedar Park. It wasn't too early on a Saturday morning, but we were able to walk in and get a table prior to a brunch-time lunch. We shared their deep fried green tomatoes, which were crisp and the coating did not fall off when you cut into the tomato slices. They came with six slices and were very good. My son ordered and demolished his Bad Ass Bacon and Eggs. The eggs were fluffly and the bacon was thick. My daughter destroyed her waffles, they were the right combo of crispy and fluffy. I ordered the chile relleno, and it was pretty good. My order came with chopped potatoes, and I also ordered a side of bacon. It was a lot of good food. The chile is stuffed with cheese, and inside a deep fried panko cover. I would love to try their shrimp and grits (or other variants), they also looked good from where I was sitting. :). . Let me tell you, when this place gets busy, it gets busy. It was quiet when we got there, but sometime during our enjoying our food, it got really busy. The quality of the service kept the pace though. Glad we tried out this diner. read more

Visited for a casual Saturday morning brunch date. Fortunately, we went in the sweet spot of early enough that there was no wait, and service was quick and easy! The food was basic and nothing special, however, their menu has quite the variety so there is definitely a little something for everyone - from your standard eggs and pancakes to specialties and even BBQ. Overall, I'd give it 3-3.5/5 for being a decent, no frills diner. But compared to other spots around Austin it wouldn't be my go-to. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, their north location is situated in a small strip of restaurants/businesses with a regular open parking lot. - Reservations? No, but you can join the waitlist ahead of time if it's busy! - Price range: $-$$ (we spent $60 incl. tax/tip) FOOD & DRINK: - Vietnamese iced coffee (4/5): This was pretty good, and I was surprised they offered it. Strong as always but a good balance of sweetness. - Pimiento cheese omelette w/hash brown casserole (3/5): A very cheesy omelette with a variety of cheeses. It was good overall but would be nice with some green onion or something to break through all the heaviness of the cheese. Hash brown casserole was okay - it needed salt! - Chicken fried steak (4/5): Decent portion and good gravy. The runny egg is perfect with it. Nicely cooked. - Pancakes (4/5): A short stack (2) for $5.99. Kept it classic and didn't opt for any toppings. Straight forward, solid pancakes! read more

After a bit of a wait, we 4 adults and 2 kids were seated in a booth. It's a noisy spot-- extremely busy. Our server was excellent, but there were a couple times we had to "flag" him down for more coffee and water. I'm guessing all the servers are stretched pretty thin. The eggs, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, migas, and omelet were all delicious. We tried their "cheeky monkey," Phoebe's version of a scotch egg. I'd skip it next time. They did make a mistake on one person's egg order, but it didn't take long to fix it. For the kids, they brought much-appreciated crayons and game sheets. read more

We came on a Sunday morning before any big rush around 9:30. The two hosts seemed disheveled when we arrived and didn't really greet us as they were looking at the seating chart. I'll give them some leeway as this establishment opened recently. Once we were sat at a table, a server shortly after greeted us and took our beverage order. The restaurant is decorated like an upscale modern dinner. It echoes a lot off the walls of the restaurant, sometimes making people's voices loud and noisy. Per recommendation from the server I ordered the baked eggs and my partner ordered the Phoebe's Benedict. When the items came out they were a bit unexpected based off the description. My dish was two over-easy eggs in a creamy tomato sauce, mushrooms in a small cast iron, and the smallest piece of sourdough toast. Of course, my overzealous self tries to eat the item immediately and ends up burning the roof of my mouth. The dish was tasty but I don't feel that it was worth the extra $2 for another piece of sourdough toast. My partner's Benedict was the most peculiar benedict I've seen in some time. The biscuits were dense with the poached egg hiding underneath a large piece of ham topped off with hollandaise sauce with a hash brown casserole. Overall the food was okay but it's not a place i'm wanting to come back to anytime soon. read more

The other location has been on my to visit list, and a random search of brunch spots nearby brought my attention here. On a December Friday around lunch, our party of 5 had no trouble getting a table. Pancakes, eggs, fruit- everything the kids wanted to eat. For the adults, brisket burrito and a classic eggs Benedict, plus some goat cheese grits because why not? The burrito and eggs Benedict were ok, and I liked the grits but they were hair very heavy. Not my favorite brunch food, but I had an out of town guest who was really interested in trying a couple of different dishes. The service, however, was really great. We had a few questions about the menu and all of that was answered very well! read more

Very cute diner and great as a casual brunch spot. We were seated immediately (we went close to when they opened) and the place was decently busy. Service was great, quick, and we got everything we needed. The food here is so good if you're looking for a breakfast spot that also has a touch of southern comfort food. I will warn you that the food is very filling, heavy and rich (at least the stuff we ordered). If you're gonna start your day here, you better plan for a nap after because you will be in a food coma. read more

This place gets pretty busy on a weekend, so going earlier helps. We went at 10:45am on a Sunday and were seated right away for a party of 3. I had the fried chicken and biscuit with the sausage gravy and it was super tasty. Room for improvement: I also ordered the Horchata and it was super sweet, too sweet. It's the sweetest horchata I've ever had. I wasn't offered an option to exchange it for something less sweet and had to ask for some milk to balance out the sugary taste. read more

Came back for beet hash, and I was not disappointed. The blend of flavors in the first bite sold me--and that was before I had a bite of the sunny-side up eggs. All of the dishes I've had here are a bit too much food for me for one meal (even if I ignore sides), but this one was close. I'm a little more full than I'd like but not stuffed. (^_^. ) It tastes a little different from the wrap--which I still like--and which was beyond unwieldy when I ate it there. (The contents did not fit.) I also finally tried the french toast. Solid. A HUGE cut of sourdough, and it came out real quick. I like that they have a few outdoor seats; so long as it's not too hot, that'd be my preference. The inside is diner. The staff are friendly and kind. Food is quick and consistent, and I never feel rushed--really important for me on a sit-in. Plenty of parking in the strip. It's really nice having a place offering a number of vegetarian options and traditional breakfast options in the neighborhood. I like to see them busy with business. I hope Phoebe's Diner (north) can stay a while. read more

We came across Phoebe's after looking for a brunch place on Yelp. It got great reviews and was only 6 minutes away from us so we gave it a shot. Like many yelpers have said, this place does not dissapoint! Service was great, friendly staff and the food is legit! We tried some pancakes with fresh fruit which were really good. Pancakes aren't those huge ones you see at some places.. they are properly sized and made well rather than huge and made wrong. We also tried a side of bacon which is slab style bacon and that too was good. The winner was the Migas which we all agreed took the best in show for today. Only took a star off because I never got a coffee refill.. childish I know but at breakfast it's sort of expected to get a refill of black coffee. Highly recommend going and trying this place. read more

The 4 of us dined on Sunday around noon. We were able to get onto the waitlist via Yelp and were seated almost immediately when we arrived. The service was quick and accurate. The food was really good, though I was expecting more from the pancakes - they just seemed smaller and the few cut strawberries weren't a great enough add to justify them. The restaurant is pretty noisy, especially with it being packed by both brunch and lunch crowds. The dining area couple use sound treatment. It was hard to hear friends from across the table at times. read more

I'm SO happy this location finally opened because Phoebe's Diner is a great breakfast/brunch/lunch spot with delicious menu items, good portion sizes, and reasonable prices without a ridiculously long wait (unlike some other brunch places in Austin)! My husband and I arrived around 12:45 pm on a Saturday afternoon and were seated right away with no wait and a choice between indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is beautiful but we chose outdoor seating because the weather was great... the only downside is that the seating is right by where cars are parking. FAST FACTS: * Parking - available in the lot in front of the building * Reservations - you can join the "waitlist" through Yelp * Online ordering available for pick up on their website * Pictures of all the menu items available on their website SERVICE - Rashon was great! He brought waters to the table right away and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. He was super upbeat and had a great personality! The food came out quickly... less than 10 minutes after ordering. PRICING - The total was $51.10 after tax and before tip for a drip coffee ($3.75), Phoebe's benedict ($14.99), migas with chorizo ($13.99 + $4 for chorizo), buttermilk flapjack short stack ($5.99), and a side of goat cheese grits ($4.50). You get a good portion of each item so I feel like the pricing was fair. My only complaint is that the online menu says it costs $2.50 to add chorizo to the migas but the menu you get at the restaurant lists it as $4. GOAT CHEESE GRITS (10/10) - These are a MUST ORDER if you're a grits fan! The flavor of the goat cheese is phenomenal and so different than typical grits you'd find. I love that you can order them as an a la carte side because I will get these every time I come! MIGAS WITH CHORIZO (9/10) - This dish surprised me and I loved it more than I thought I would! First of all, it comes with a side of red potatoes which are AMAZING! They're super crispy on the outside with the right amount of salt but soft and tender on the inside. The addition of the chorizo is what really made the migas shine... it has so much flavor and really elevated the dish (without the chorizo, I'd probably give it a 7). I'd order this again! PHOEBE'S BENEDICT (7/10) - I'm a huge fan of eggs benedict and this one was just okay. The portion size is large because you get two biscuits halves with a large piece of ham, over easy egg, and plenty of hollandaise on each plus a side of the hashbrown casserole. But, the biscuit texture and flavor just wasn't amazing and the ham itself was kind of dry. The hollandaise tasted pretty bland too... you didn't get that rich and tangy flavor that you would expect. But, I did enjoy the over easy eggs rather than a traditional poached egg because it helped cover the entire biscuit. The hashbrown casserole was good but the red potatoes that came with the migas were much better for a potato offering. I probably wouldn't order this one again but would be willing to try the pulled pork or brisket benedict! BUTTERMILK FLAPJACK SHORT STACK (9/10) - Super basic pancakes but they're done right! They're thick and fluffy with a little crisp on the outside. They were almost slightly underdone on the inside, but I actually love that in pancakes. You get a side of whipped butter and syrup but can also add strawberries, blueberries, or chocolate chips if you want. I'd order these again if I were in the mood for pancakes! Overall, I was super impressed with Phoebe's and will definitely return! I love their menu offerings and the large portion sizes and fantastic hospitality from the staff makes it a great experience from start to finish. I'd recommend Phoebe's Diner to friends or anyone visiting the Austin area, especially if you're looking for brunch north of downtown! read more
