    I was here yesterday and forgot to post my review. The service was amazing. The food was fantastic & served heat hot.

    All Star breakfast sub hash browns smothered, covered, capped with pecan waffle
    Kara M.

    I don't care what anyone has to say, Waffle House slaps. Is it gourmet? Far from it. Is it a cute little aesthetic restaurant for foodies? Nope. Could you make everything on the menu at home yourself (and better)? Of course you can. But that's not why you visit Waffle House. A 24 hour diner that originally was established for truckers, they offer the basic breakfast essentials and operate with speed, simplicity, and a damn good pecan (or chocolate chip) waffle. We always order the All Star classic breakfast, sub out the grits for hash browns (smothered, covered, and capped!), with sausage and a pecan waffle. For $11 (tax included!) and a hearty wake up call (it's quite loud with all the hustle and bustle), you get a quick, easy, hands-off dining experience. Our server, Eric, was awesome. The weekends can get pretty packed, so go before 10am if you don't want to wait. Pay at the counter and come back again (also hits great for those late night munching needs).

    I loved this Waffle House so much that I spent 12 hours here eating 13 waffles! The staff was very friendly and supportive!

    I found this gem of a Waffle that is closer to the Austin and Pflugerville city borders. It's a hidden gem to me because all are a like but very few where they are gem!! Why do I consider this place a gem? Well because for one I came here back to back in the same week. I wanted something to eat late night at 2am. So my little cousin and I came here because we needed our Waffle House fix! Everyone thought we were crazy after some big bbq we had at the house. But nothing fulfills your night like a late night snack at the Waffle. Today I came here with my son and my brother-n-law for another semi-late snack. It was my son's first time. My son ate all his food. The same cook was here from two nights ago.This homie can cook! I had to give the man prompts. Because his cooking skills are on point!! The whole staff here are cool. Our waiter seemed a little confused but I can understand because it just got a little busy when we arrived. Everyone staff wise have been Waffle House friend. Nothing too shabby and nothing too perfect. Keep up the great work at this Waffle House.

    A friend randomly invited me to go to the Waffle House today, so we went since we both like the Waffle House. We received very good service at this location today. Our waitress was attentive and checked on us several times, and our food was good as usual. I am a Waffle House Regulars Club member and received a coupon for a free waffle with any purchase since I recently had a birthday (all Regulars Club members get a free waffle with any purchase for their birthday), so they were very nice and wished me a happy birthday. I asked if they give a free slice of chocolate pie for birthdays, and I was absolutely joking, but to my surprise, they gave me an entire free chocolate pie. I profusely thanked the manager and waitress for this very kind gesture. I highly recommend this location and will definitely return.

    Waffle the blueberry nougat and chocolate chips

    On a Waffle House scale it's a 4* experience. On an overall restaurant foodie scale it's a 3* experience. But come on, Waffle House is not a fine dining experience and you can't compare it to such. It's fast food, accessible 24/7 (except for that one time I went to a Waffle House that was closed, gasp), and hits the spot. Like all my other Waffle House experiences this far the servers were friendly, the cooks were efficient, and the place was fast food restaurant clean (crumbs cleared up but occasional sticky areas). What we got: Sausage, egg, and cheese hash browns - 3* add some ketchup and hot sauce and you're good to go. Waffle with chocolate chips and blueberry nougat - 5* I'm a sucker for their waffles. They're just so yummy.

    Hash browns all the way, hold the gravy, with 2 eggs over easy on top.

    First of all, I love Waffle House. It is its own paradigm. If you've never been to one, it is a simple, diner that specializes in waffles and simple breakfasts. It is not in any way a fancy place. But it is one of my favorite breakfast places; although I don't get to eat here often because it is about 20 miles from home. I ordered hash browns all the way except no gravy, and a pecan waffle. Both were perfectly done and hit the spot. Service was also fast and friendly. Not sure why the negative remarks. But they deserve better. Perhaps people had bad experiences visiting at a busy time. Its unfortunate that for a small place like this, my theory is that they only review if there is a problem. I came on a weekday morning when they weren't very busy. So I probably saw them at their best (5 stars). Try them out. And try the hash browns all the way, except hold the gravy. It was just a great, simple breakfast.

    Great place to get your breakfast fix. The cheesesteak was delicious and warm. Hashbrown Was crispy and flavorful.

    Two all-stars and a hashbrown bowl.

    Came in with my two friends after a show, around 12:30 am. It took a little while to be seated while they cleaned off the recently vacated tables, but once we were seated, DJ took our order and gave good suggestions (even offered our New Englander friend a sample of the grits before ordering). He was a rock star and knew the menu like the back of his hand. This restaurant was running well and the staff seemed to take Covid restrictions to heart. (Everyone was wearing a mask, that I saw). The food came out really quickly and was great. The check was brought in a good amount of time and there was no wait to pay. I couldn't really ask for more.

    I am a huge fan of Waffle house for as long as I can remember. From living in GA and going to the "original" Waffle house, to living across the country and stopping in as many times as I can on the trip(s) I have a good idea of what Waffle house should offer. I would say this Waffle house is "standard". The reason I gave it 4 stars is because when I sat down, I wasn't getting any service however one of the waitresses saw that and came over to get me drinks and take me order. My actual server seemed to be in and out a lot so the lady who originally helped me ended up with a separate large tip. She is the only reason they are getting 4 stars (it would have been 3 stars). The food itself was average for WH. The atmosphere was average but over all, average isn't bad. It means I got what I expected and that's not a bad thing. I would go to this WH again.

    I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about this tiny restaurant in an older strip mall bearing…read more a big blue sign that said "Diner" on it. But I enjoy new experiences and menus with eclectic dishes. The menu had few choices for breakfast and I was unsure why it was suggested as a breakfast place. It's actually a good place to eat any time of day! The beautifully decorated patio provided the perfect welcome into their modestly decorated air conditioned restaurant and bar. When I say bar, it's more like a 1950s bar that you can sit at and have a meal at. Although drinks and meals were offered any time of day! The waitress was pleasant and helpful in suggesting add ons with my meal. But being a purist, I wanted to try it as intended. The food arrived in the normal amount of time. When I first saw my mozzarella omelette I was a little surprised! It didn't look anything like what it was described as! Oh well! I thought. Let's give it a try! My taste buds were happily amazed! Could this omelette smothered in mushroom gravy, green "pesto" and bread crumbs be the best omelette I've ever had?! The mushroom tomato gravy was so smooth! Along with the cilantro avocado topping. That tasted more like pesto, gave it the perfect zing! I had wished I the had ordered some toast to dip in the sauce. I could have done without the bread crumbs. But they were easily swept to the side. The amount of mozzarella cheese in this omelette led me to believe it was more of an omelette lasagna than a plain old omelette. This place is definitely a must if you are visiting Austin!

I ordered the migas, and the amount of onions in the dish was overwhelming--so much so that it felt like I had ordered a plate of onions rather than migas. The masa cakes were definitely the standout item and were absolutely delicious. However, the rest of the dish fell short. The sauce was extremely rich, making it difficult to enjoy or finish the meal. That said, the restaurant itself is adorable, and our waiter was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were both great. While this breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I'll still return and stick with favorites like the fried green tomatoes and taquito salad, which were excellent during my previous visit.

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.

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.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. My daughter and I both ordered the chicken fried chicken, and she substituted the collard greens for mac and cheese. The sausage gravy served with the chicken fried chicken was a little unexpected, but I actually enjoyed the subtle kick of spice it had. The collard greens weren't for me, but that's more of a personal preference since I've never been a fan. The mac and cheese, however, felt like it was missing something. Maybe it was the blend of cheeses, but it wasn't the classic, ooey-gooey diner-style mac and cheese we were hoping for. My brother ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffles had a fermented aroma and tangy flavor that caught us off guard. After speaking with the manager, she explained that they're made with a sourdough batter. While that may appeal to some people, it just wasn't his favorite. Overall, we had a good experience thanks to the outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere.

Maybe a wrapper or some other foreign item was inadvertently added. The small dish of watermelon, strawberry and pineapple was ok. This, with tip, was $65.00 just had water to drink. Wonder if they used to be good and have just fallen off, but IMHO not worth it at all.
