Phoebe's Diner

I've had Phoebe's bookmarked for years. As often as I'm in Austin, I just never had the opportunity to try it until recently. There's a moderate sized parking lot with complimentary valet. We were able to find a spot that wasn't reserved for valet. I was able to add my name to the waitlist on the Yelp app while we were driving there. When we arrived, we were seated immediately on the (dog friendly) patio.Justin was our server and he was really great and laid back. He was so busy with his tables, but he was cool, calm, and collected. He told us that he genuinely likes all of the food at Phoebe's and said that he can't say that for some of the other restaurants that he has previously worked at haha.Beverage:Iced Vietnamese Coffee - This was very good, but very strong. I couldn't drink it all during brunch so I ended up taking the rest to go.Food:BST Omelet - Bacon, spinach, tomato; it was very flavorful and the portion was large. I really liked the aioli, especially with the breakfast potatoes. There was a generous amount of spinach and the bacon was so delicious. Crab Cake Benny - My mom ordered this and liked it, but the eggs were over cooked. The yolk was not runny when she cut into them. She enjoyed the asparagus that accompanied it. I have to give a shout out to the random woman who told me about Phoebe's while we were waiting on our cars to be serviced at Firestone. It took me a few years to try it, but I'm happy that I finally did!

We went in on a Sunday at around 2 PM. The service was excellent everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was great! There is a parking lot but it has very limited spots. We didnt have an issue getting parking spot in the lot at 2PM on a Sunday. There is indoor and outdoor seating and there is also a bar seating area. I can see it filling up quickly during the busier hours. We ordered the Fried Chicken and Biscuit, The Migas (The migas dont have chips in them) but were still delicious, buttermilk flapjacks with strawberries and in-house made whipped cream, and the banana foster French toast (banana bread topped with bananas, whipped cream, pecans, and bourbon caramel) Very delicious. Overall everything was so great. Excellent service and Delicious Food! We enjoyed everything that we ordered. I would recommend this place 100%.

I hate to give this rating, as I had a wonderful experience, but based off of the food alone, I don't think I would ever come back...Hospitality: 5/5 Everyone I encountered was extremely friendly and a joy to speak with!Iced coffee 5/5 Perfect blend of bold, creamy, and sweetFried chicken biscuit 2/5 Waitress told me this was one of the top 3 most ordered dishes. It was.....extremely underwhelming. No amount of ketchup, hot sauce, salt, or pepper could save the lack of flavor in this dish. Egg, cheese, potatoes - all sooo bland. The biscuit was a dry, unappealing texture. Maybe this dish was just a miss, and there's other great things on the menu, but based off of this, (and the multitude of great breakfast/brunch options in Austin), I don't think I'll be returning. :/

biscuits and gravy my friends tell me would you eat this? That's all I wanna know Case concluded.What is this and the woman also told me she wouldn't charge me for it and brought me eggs instead, but then turned around and charged me for the sponges. This looks like something that you wash the dishes with. vegan biscuit's ? the server was nice though & that's why i did two stars - however I don't appreciate her still charging us for this when she said she wouldn't.

My second time at this place. The first experience was better, but I didn't write a review, so I came back the second time and it wasn't as great. The shrimp and grit were painfully salty. The Benedict was good but not as outstanding as I remembered from the first experience. The service is great as usual. I came in at 8:30am or 9am so there was zero wait. Overall I'm not sure I'll be back, maybe only if someone else suggests.

I was only in Austin for 24 hours to attend my god daughter's graduation from her master's program at TSU. Since her graduation was at 10am, my family wanted to go out for brunch. This place came up on my search. I'm thankful that I was able to join the waitlist via Yelp because there was definitely a wait and after eating here, I understand why. When we pulled up, my mom said she probably would've driven right by under normal circumstances. lol But she trusts my Yelp recommendations. We were able to find a parking spot in the small lot, but I love that they actually offered complimentary valet service for the restaurant. The diner is a small cozy spot and I was pleasantly surprised that they were able to accommodate our party of 7 in a large booth in the rear of the restaurant. The service was great, but the food was even better. The french toast was absolutely delicious but HUGE! lol I ordered the one with berries for my godson to share with me. Needless to say, he ate the greater majority. I had the brisket benny as my primary meal. It was a lot of food. The brisket was tender and well seasoned, but I could have done without the barbecue sauce. The barbecue sauce really overpowered the meal and took away from what was best about it, in my opinion. If I ever have the chance to go back, I would order it again, but with the bbq sauce on the side.

Side biscuit sage gravy. No need to Dr this gravy with salt or pepper. It's perfect!Chicken and grits delicious with a fantastical spiced fryAll well spiced. Perfect iced tea. Deep and dark. Music is up beat/fast and does not match the atmosphere. It's also really tiny. Hard to hear what's on other than its noise.

wow! just wow! I am not a breakfast food person but this diner has so many options! It was pretty busy (Sunday brunch) but you can join the waitlist ahead of time. We only waited for about 15 minutes before being seated. once seated, our server Akiya was a breath of fresh air. very knowledgeable about the menu + made me feel great about my selections:I order their version of an espresso martini (so delicious) and the fried green tomatoes BLT (crazy delicious!!) -- Akiya recommended me to add pimento cheese to my BLT and she was so right. I have no complaints about my meal and dining experience here. The patio was perfect for the fall weather (minus the bees) and just a great spot to yap with your girl pals! I will be adding this place to my list of 'must eat' for my friends when they visit me in atx!

Parking is limited but I did not struggle to find a spot on a Saturday morning. There is an option to valet but I didn't use it.The best item that I ordered was the cheeky monkey, it wasn't something that I've tried before but it was a great combination of flavors and texture. The brisket benny was underwhelming, not bad but I personally didn't enjoy the selected bbq sauce.It was a bit busy but they have the option of joining a waitlist before arriving. The service was great and our server made sure that we were happy with what we ordered. I would definitely visit again if I'm in Austin.

Phoebe's Diner had an incredible brunch menu and atmosphere. We waited around 90 minutes to be seated, but it was more than worth it! Per the server's recommendation, I had the Nutella crepes and shrimp and grits. I have absolutely no complaints about this wonderful meal. The servers were very attentive and I would come back over and over to have those shrimp and grits!
