I was starving, but we're both on keto diets so I knew our options would be limited to omelets. Like many diners, they offer build-your-own omelets. I chose chorizo and two types of peppers, to get something other than what I make at home. My husband got sausage and mushroom. Fortunately, the let both of us sub avocado for the carby sides. While this is a good place to come while on keto, I'm looking forward to coming back when I can try some of their sandwiches and pies! Austin needs more diners, but if we can't find it in Austin, at least we can find one outside of town, not far from our side of town!

Everything is counter service so you'll order your entire meal at the counter along with drinks, the cashier will give you a number and the service staff will bring your items to your table. My friend and I ordered several different items on the menu to try out, we got the etouffee, red beans and rice, and a mushroom salad. My favorite out of those items was the mushroom salad with vinagarette dressing, who doesn't love mushrooms and some greens! The etouffee was rich and savory with what i believe was their rotating protein of the week. Can't really go wrong with red beans and rice, these are like an upgraded popeyes version. To end the meal we tried their beignets which weren't stellar but reminded me more of a fried donut with some powdered sugar sprinkled on top. I'd come back but maybe not get so much food since we both definitely left stuffed!

A huge thank you to the owner, Karen, and to Carrie for the wonderful service they've provided us throughout the years. They truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and so many of my favorite memories with friends have been made around these tables. Bonus Tip: Keep an eye out for their seasonal Kings Cake from Joe Gambinos Bakery! They bring them in straight from Louisiana, and they are the perfect authentic treat to take home. If you want authentic flavors, a warm atmosphere, and staff that treats you like family, Maxine's is the spot. Here's to many more years and many bowls of gumbo! Thank you!

The restaurant have a deck for outdoor shaded tables/seats. If you are not in the mood for the outside, there is plenty of tables and seats inside the restaurant. Staff is friendly and food is amazing! You can conveniently order and pay directly on their website for take out and delivery. After ordering from the website you will get a text to your mobile phone letting you know when your food will be ready. Super easy and convenient! Pick up was a breeze with going in and out. As for the food......this place is definitely a MUST TRY and have the BEST FRIED CHICKEN I've ever had. First time trying Jackson Soul and I ordered 3 piece fried chicken with Mac and cheese and collard greens, chicken fried steak, and 8 piece garlic Parmesan wings with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes with gravy. The fried chicken is super crispy on the outside and super moist juicy in the inside! The chicken batter was seasoned so well with spices that one bite makes your palate buzzzzzzzz with a well balanced flavor! So unique and special! I didn't know fried chicken could ever taste so damn good! The mash potatoes and homemade gravy was well seasoned cream and delicious! Chicken fried steak was meaty and the perfect amount of steak to batter! The outside of the steak was crispy and the steak was moist. I will definitely order the fried chicken and chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy again! The garlic Parmesan wings had good flavor with a little heat from the dried chili flakes but it was not crispy and was a bit oily from the butter sauce. My family enjoyed the wings but I preferred the fried chicken . Will I be coming back? Heck yes! Jackson Soul restaurant is little soulful gem treasure in Elgin, TX! I will definitely be coming back and trying out their other items and lunch/day specials. Food, quality, proportion size, and price is great!

From the moment we walked in, the hostess gave us a warm welcome, and we were seated right away. It took our server a little while to get to our table, but she arrived with waters in hand, which was appreciated. We started with the fried green tomatoes. They were good, though I've definitely had better back home in Houston. For my entrée, I ordered the Badass Bacon Plate, and it absolutely hit the spot. Everything on the plate was delicious, from the thick-cut slab of bacon to the perfectly cooked scrambled eggs. I especially appreciated that the eggs were seasoned before cooking, something I don't often see at restaurants, and it really made a difference. The hash brown casserole was also fantastic and tied the whole meal together. My brother ordered the fried chicken biscuit and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Although our server was clearly very busy, the restaurant had a great team approach. Other staff members checked on us, refilled drinks, and made sure we had everything we needed, so we never felt neglected. Overall, it was a great dining experience with delicious food, friendly hospitality, and excellent teamwork. I would definitely recommend Phoebe's Diner if you're looking for a satisfying breakfast or brunch in Austin.

The service was so fast and friendly I thought they were trying to prank me.Here is the breakdown of how they stole my heart: Phoebe Benedict: The poached eggs were so perfect they looked sculpted by Michelangelo.

Side of Bacon: This isn't just bacon. It is a thick-cut, crispy masterpiece. Pretty sure it's the best bacon in Austin, if not the entire universe. Pro tip: Get on their Yelp Waitlist early unless you enjoy staring longingly through the window at strangers eating your future meal. 10/10 will be back to eat my weight in pork products.

I ordered the fried fish plate with macaroni and cheese and candied yams, plus sides of sautéed cabbage and honey butter cornbread. My total came to just over $44, so I was expecting to be impressed. After ordering, someone came to the window and explained that they needed to make more mac & cheese and it would take 45 minutes. I requested a refund for that side, but when I received my order, it was included in the bag anyway. The food looked appealing, but my first bite of fish, while crispy, was flavorless. The mac & cheese wasn't mixed well and lacked seasoning. The candied yams had too much allspice, the sautéed cabbage was bitter, and the cornbread was crumbly rather than moist. Overall, I was disappointed--especially after waiting over 30 minutes for my food, having skipped breakfast in anticipation of this meal. Based on other reviews, I can see they've served great food, but unfortunately, today just wasn't that day.
