BACON!!!!! Phoebe's Diner has the best BACON I've ever eaten in my life! I was nice enough to share the bacon with my hubby after my first bite; he said the same! Service was super friendly, manager came and checked on us as well. Very nifty place! Definitely doing brunch with my girls here. read more

Great breakfast spot in south Austin. We got here around 12 on a weekend and it was packed but with the yelp waitlist the wait wasn't too long after we got there! Service was friendly and the inside was very clean. The only thing we didn't love was the chopped brisket sandwich as I felt it barely had any brisket in it. read more

This diner has a ton of gluten free options! Almost half the menu is GF and the staff is very knowledgeable about the menu. I visited during Austin's restaurant week and got an incredible deal, a three course meal for $25 and an option to add a cocktail. We also ordered the friend green tomato BLT which was gluten free and had a nice spice kick to it. The diner has indoor and outdoor seating with a very cool Austin local vibe. read more

LOCATION: A nice, comfy diner right off of W Oltorf, a bit outside of downtown Austin. Parking can be a bit hard to find and tight given there's only about 40 spaces for a number of businesses there. Inside, it's a nice, classic, 50's style diner with good music playing and a few TVs on. People I came into contact with were nice, attentive, and quick. FOOD: What I had this visit was the Burrata Omelet (pictured below) with a side of brisket. It was absolutely delicious. I can't say I've ever had a basil pesto on an omelette, but it worked wonderfully. I also am not typically a huge burrata fan because it can overpower other tastes in my opinion, but with the strong tomato gravy and pesto sauces, the cheese just complimented everything perfectly! I would absolutely recommend adding the brisket too. It wasn't as soft and pull-apart as I'd like, but the fat added some of the juiciness and softness I was looking for. It's not a BBQ restaurant, but to have the option was really nice and it did pair well with the eggs. I'd 100% recommend you check out Phoebe's! read more

Phoebe's Diner - Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

The first time we tried to visit Phoebe's was in 2021--only to find the entire lot wrapped in police tape. We later found out someone had been killed in a fight over parking. A delivery driver. It stuck with us. We gave it another try later. The food really is great--worth the wait, even. But the whole time we were there, we kept looking out the window, worried about our car. Even as paying dine-in customers, we felt anxious about the aggressive parking enforcement in the lot. It's not the food's fault. But the atmosphere just doesn't feel welcoming. There's a tension in the air you can't shake. We haven't been back since--not even for takeout. read more

Great spot for affordably priced & tasty brunch! Everyone on staff is so nice and chill. Ambiance is always great vibes all around! read more

A huge five star rating for this fabulous diner! We're visiting from out of town and this was on our list to try- we are quite impressed!!! Meals were beautiful and delicious, but so huge we all had to take some home. Our server was so nice and friendly! Two gender neutral restrooms in the back. We shared a bananas foster- yummy and moist. I had a Phoebe's Benedict- the smoked ham made this dish - and oh that delicious hash brown casserole was perfection!! I'm fairly certain this is the kind of place that no matter what you order- you will be thrilled with and expectations will be exceeded! So glad we came and hope to return next time we visit Austin! read more

My family and I tried Phoebe's Diner while visiting Austin and reading great reviews about this location. I joined the waitlist that only had a 20 minute wait at the time but was just enough time to drive to the location. Pro-tip: Join the Yelp waitlist Once we arrived we checked in with the host and were seated almost immediately. The restaurant is cute with lots of decor on the wall. We were sat to the left of the main dining area which made our spot a little quieter. Our waiter greeted us and took out drink order while we looked over the menu. I ordered the short stack with strawberries which was delicious! The pancakes were so fluffy! I'd highly recommend them. Both of my kids ordered the kids chocolate chip pancakes with fruit. The plate was large for a kids portion but both girls loved it. I'd definitely recommend this establishment if you're looking for a good breakfast or brunch. read more

This place is wildly popular, especially on weekends. Clearly it's many people's breakfast thing; unfortunately, it isn't my breakfast thing. According to the owner, "Our cuisine features dishes you would find in your classic American diner . . ." Based on my experience, that is just not true. Rather than having standard breakfast items, it tries to get way too cute and fancy. I love omelets! In my opinion, any breakfast place should have multiple omelets, plus a catchall "make your own" omelet. Phoebe's has only three omelets, and all of them are very culinarily artsy and not appealing to me. Accordingly, I had the migas instead. But the migas had no tortilla chips! That isn't migas at all! It was way too spicy for me, with Hatch chilis. I love eggs, but I couldn't taste them at all through the chilis, onions, and tomatoes. The fried potatoes were pretty good, but the hushpuppies were dry and again, too spicy. I gotta say, the coffee was excellent, and the service was on point. read more

My husband and I were driving back to Round Rock and decided to get brunch at Phoebe's as first timers! We were excited to try so many different things on the menu that we already decided we needed to come back before even trying our first order (hah!) The brussel sprouts I have to say were a tad too salty for my liking but it worked out because my chile relleno eggs had no seasoning/flavor at all so I just would fork some brussel sprouts onto my eggs and voila, seasoned eggs on my chile relleno! We both also got the cheeky monkey, and I also have to say, they aren't the most aesthetically pleasing dish to look at lol... when I cut into the egg it looked a little funny but I'll blame it on the longer wait because the drive home. The nitro chata was delicious and so was the Vietnamese coffee!! Lucy was an absolute PLEASURE to work with, thank you for being so sweet! read more

The vibe inside is super cool. They play hip hop music. All the staff are pleasant and you can tell they enjoy working here. They are very attentive and will describe the dishes with great flare. The food is good and not your typical diner fare. I had the Benedict with bacon instead of ham and my boyfriend had the big bacon plate. He really liked the salsa and he's a salsa snob so that is saying a lot. Hollandaise sauce was perfection. read more

My water glass had lipstick on it. We had the migas and a chile relleno (stuffed with scrambled-eggs). They were pretty good. The migas were a little too cheesy for my taste but my wife liked it. The relleno had a hard and crispy crust, which I was not a fan of. The side of broiled potatoes were a nice change.The migas plate came with corn meal "masa" balls, which were epic. Such an intense corn flavor! I could have made a meal of those. I don't usually notice otableware but my knife was incredibly dull and almost couldn't cut my chili relleno. It wasn't sharp against my finger either. read more

First time at this establishment. My friend and I shared cheeky monkey starter. It was an entrancing dish. The gravy had a smooth consistency. I recommend it. Also ordered the pulled pork Benedict. Personally the Carolina BBQ that the pulled pork had was very tangy and sweet. I just think they should not mix the pulled pork with the BBQ sauce. And just have the sauce on the side. So customers have the option to add it themselves. Plus we also ordered pancakes. But I should have ordered the fried French toast it looked appealing. The toast looked huge. Enough to feed two. Overall the food was delicious anyone. This place gets pretty packed so try to go early. It's starts to slow down after 1:30. My waitress didn't visit us much after the runner served our meals. Just a tad disappointed about that. The restroom was clean and ambience was lighted well. read more

My boyfriend and I just had the best breakfast of our LIVES at Phoebe's. We arrived at 7:00am on a Sunday morning, which is opening time. We were seated right away by our friendly server, who provided great service from start to finish. Bo ordered the '04 platter, I ordered the fried chicken and grits, and we split an order of the deep-fried French toast with berries. From the side of pickled onions and jalapeños, to the brisket, to the fried chicken, to the grits, to every component of the French toast, everything was delicious. The place is a dive, but I like gritty places, so there's that. read more

What a wonderful breakfast! We came here early on a Friday morning, around 8 AM. Super easy to get a table at that time. This is a cute diner with a really unique menu. Our waitress was very sweet and took good care of us. We started with the Cheeky Monkey, a scotch egg wrapped with breakfast sausage, potato and cheddar, served on top of loads of sausage gravy with green onions. The egg was a tad overdone, we would have preferred a runnier center, but that doesn't stop this from being a 5 star starter! Freakin delish! I had Migas, scrambled eggs with hatch chile hollandaise, onion, tomatoes, green chiles, cotija cheese, masa cakes, and served with red potatoes. This was an AMAZING breakfast! Those masa cakes were so tasty and I love, love, loved the hollandaise! Husband ordered the Baked Eggs, which had tomatoes, creme fraiche, parmesan cheese, basil, mushrooms, and sourdough bread. This was so unique, we have never had anything like this, and I am so glad we tried it. When he mixed it all together it kind of tasted like tomato soup, but breakfast style. Breakfast came in just under $50 (we only drank water) and I think it was a good value for how amazing the food is! We were so full when we were done, we actually went back to our Airbnb to rest before we set out on our next adventure. Their entire menu sounds fabulous and if I lived near here I would visit again and again until I tried everything on it. Phoebe's is great and I wish they were in CA! read more

I love Phoebe's. I'm always hopeful to see Aislyn when I come here. Great service. She is, hands down, the best. She helped us again today. Her suggestions are spot on, her service - professionally perfect, and her personality always warm, and friendly. She is delightful as is the fantastic food we get here. It's the go-to spot for me and my wife. read more

Get crowded easily, and I would recommend joining a waitlist on Yelp or over the phone. It was a breeze since they don't want you to be there to join their waitlist. I still had to wait for a few mins to get the table and during that time, they let us order our drinks. How cool is that? I got the beet hash and it was alright but really tast. The vggies - mushrooms , beets went well together and it was definitely a healthy and hearty brunch. I got the Phoebe's 58 which was a spiked mimosa and it was really good that I had to have one more of that. read more

First, the staff looks like they rolled out of bed, either in the clothes they passed out in, or the swim shorts from yesterday's summer fun. The hostess just stared at me when I asked for a table for one outside. Blank stare... and responded, the bar is open. Which it was, but I would like to sit outside. Hostess: Those are for 2 people. Me: well, I can I sit at one of the three that are open, it's too cold in here. It's 9:15am Don't order the poached eggs. They've been microwaved in a half circle silicone mold. There is no way a poached egg would have a rubber texture with apparent over heated egg whites with a crispy fried top. read more

Think of an old fashioned Northeast diner minus all the stainless steel exterior and large windows. Service is fast and efficient. Food is reasonably priced compared to the portions. Great blood orange mimosas. Badass Bacon & Eggs $12.99 - Slab bacon, eggs, and wheat toast. Served with hash brown casserole and smoked tomato salsa. Chile Relleno $13.99 - Poblano chile stuffed with smoked cheddar, scrambled eggs, and served with ranchero sauce, Crème Fraiche, cotija cheese. Served with red potatoes. It's a must visit for elevated diner food. Maybe pass on the Chile Relleno - somewhat hard exterior is all) read more

Came for breakfast on a Friday morning, it was packed. A little small inside but with some outdoor seating. Parties of 2 - 4 should be fine but our admittedly large party of 6 had a longer wait for one of the few longer tables. Once in, service was great and the food quick. Breakfast was good with the stand out being the deep fried french toast. That was a must try. read more

JOIN THE WAITLIST ON YELP BEFORE GOING!!! you do not want to stand in the heat for an hour while waiting for your table. our server was super sweet and helpful. the south first tots were incredible but be aware that the guac is quite spicy! the burrata omelet, brisket benny, chile relleno, and bst omelet were all wonderful. unfortunately i have to knock a star because i ordered a $7 large strawberry lemonade and not only was it tiny, but it didn't even get filled up to the top of the to-go cup. i totally forgot to take a picture to compare, but my friend got a small $4.50 juice and they were practically the same size. read more

Pork butt, cornbread, eggs, hollandaise......UNREAL. All of these flavors and textures just was a bomb. Chile Relleno with scrambled eggs... rich, deep flavor and was amazing.

A local staple and one that pulls hard on the tourists! Amazingly unique spins on regular dishes making these something out of the ordinary without becoming a disaster. I recommend their specials whenever they have them and their Phoebe Benedict! Coffee is on point but parking sadly is not! Be careful to lookout as you could get towed. Pro tip: park down the road on the nearest side street. read more

Definitely want to come back to this place and try more food! After enjoying my breakfast, I asked a few staff members what they recommend and they all mentioned dishes with their house made brisket, so I will have to try that next. I got the crabcake Benedict.

Great food and great people. Enjoyed our brunch a lot. Bloody Mary is a little spicy for myself but not for my group. Like a breakfast in a glass. Oh my. lol. It's a must visit if you're in Austin read more

The diner atmosphere here was great. They have an online waitlist which is so helpful. The food itself was pretty good with just a couple of hiccups. I really enjoyed the fried green plantains. Our waitress suggested that we order them with some pimento cheese and it was a great addition. The brisket burrito was great and juicy. Unfortunately the cheeky monkey appetizer was a miss. It was dry and not really much flavor present. Also, the burrata omelette was a better idea in theory. I love burrata and was excited to try but putting it in an omelette made it just feel like a hard chuck of cheese sitting in the egg. The pesto on top did not have much flavor. I would come back here but I would avoid those two items, they didn't really seem redeemable to me read more
