Phoebe's Diner

When I discovered a childhood friend had moved to Austin, we wanted to meet up, and I knew I had to take her somewhere good! So... I chose Phoebe's Diner! Sure enough, it was a hit! When I arrived, I was somewhat surprised to find they now offer complementary valet parking, but also not surprised, because their parking lot is a little small. We went somewhat early on a Sunday (11 am) and had a short wait to get a table inside. We were quoted 10 minutes, and after about 15 minutes I decided to check and see what was up. My phone number was put in wrong into the waitlist system, so as soon as we discovered that, the hosts sat us immediately. Fortunately we were talking so hard we barely noticed the time passing. I had no idea what this friend's dietary habits are like these days, but fortunately we both eat just about anything, in moderation. We both wanted something sweet, but also didn't want to go overboard on the sugar, so we decided to split one sweet and one savory dish. She picked out the Bananas Foster French Toast and I picked out the Baked Eggs. I'd tried the Baked Eggs before and loved them. It's somewhat like a shakshuka, swimming in a tomato, pepper, onion, and mushroom sauce, topped with something creamy. It's a good way to get some veggies and protein in, early in the day. Everything was as good as expected! Our server quickly provided extra plates so we could share (like I said, we hadn't seen each other in half a lifetime so eating off the same plate would be a little forward.) When I left, the valet helped me find my car. Of course, I remembered nothing is free, and I tipped him. It made me wonder if they had some part of the lot that wasn't valet, or if we're all supposed to go through the valet service. It looked like my friend parked farther away in a non-valet area, but I don't know if she accidentally or "accidentally" broke the rules? Next time I'll do a little more research. Based on all my good experiences with Phoebe's, I'll keep recommending them for any future brunches I want to plan!

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!

The eggs were bland, hash brown casserole should've been called onion casserole because that all we tasted. Best part of the trip was the off the block bacon-delicious!!!Server served us, just as bland as the eggs. Diner was extremely cold. Ok place for those that desire this but, I'll keep looking.

We were here for a late breakfast. The food was fantastic. Oh my goodness, I never tasted slab bacon that was this good. Our waitress was perky and smiling even though she had to keep coming back to fill our coffee cups. The restaurant was clean and quite nice. We will be back next time we need breakfast in north Austin.

Phoebe's Diner has a great food selection and the service was fast. I had the fried chicken biscuit at brunch. The portion was large. The chicken was crispy and moist. The biscuit was fresh and soft. The potatoes were perfectly cooked. I enjoyed the salty and savory tastes but unfortunately couldn't finish the potatoes since the chicken and biscuit filled me up (not a bad thing). I would definitely return to try another meal at Phoebe's, maybe the chicken and grits!

Place is busy on Sunday brunch time - good sign!Was able to grab a seat at their bar area so bypassed the wait line of folks.Christy welcomed me warmly and was able to order right away.The food is fresh and tasted delicious!Christy was extra sweet and exuded the heart of the place along with the rest of the team.The place is clean and it's really lively here :)Really enjoyed myself this time solo and look forward to bringing family and friends too.

Phoebe's dinner is a hidden gem. A friend and I decided to have lunch/brunch at the diner. Phoebe's is as the name implies a diner - warm & welcoming and a bit understated! Fortunately, we decided to meet at 11 am as shortly thereafter a plethora of diners flooded in. While there a good number of folks in the restaurant, the noise level was low making it very easy to converse.Gillian our server recommended the 4 most popular dishes based on our query. We decided to try the chicken biscuit, one of the four. My friend went with over easy eggs (as outlined in the menu) and I went with eggs whites (very easily accommodated at no additional cost.) OMG the chicken biscuit was a mountain of textures and flavors...all delightfully delicious!!! We also had a side of sage gravy and goat cheese grits. Every bite was uniquely flavored...an explosion of pleasure in your mouth!! We both agreed that we would return to try other dishes offered at the dinner.Run do not walk to Phoebe's diner!!!

Phoebe's is one of my go-to spots to take guests and friends, when they are in town visiting. This location is great for inside or outside seating. We had a dog with our group and we were easily set outside and they brought a bowl of water for her too. The food is always on point. The selection of food is unique and special, not just your typical breakfast food. We always start with the cornbread and the sides (butter and jam) to pair the cornbread with is so good. Their breakfast brisket burrito is absolutely amazing! Big enough for 2 people or to take home for leftovers. And the hash brown casserole comes with it is just as good, you have to try it! The bake eggs dish is a cool dish you don't expect, very good. Their drinks are great.And the decor inside is fun and cute.

Restaurant was very clean and organized, loved how quick we got serviced and how the waitress was very attentive and helpful. Since we were on vacation and first timers the waitress gave her recommendations which were very delicious. Ordered the skillet tots with an egg on top as well as the french toast which was also a 10/10.

Came here for brunch on a Sunday and was impressed by how quickly we got seats using the waitlist feature on Yelp- would recommend!For an appetizer we both tried the South First Tots (I thought it was excellent and very filling, with a little bit of heat from the jalapeños)As my main dish, I got the chorizo hash and swapped the meat out for brisket. The meal was very filling and flavors well balanced between the salty brisket, perfect over easy egg, sweet potatoes and guacamole. My boyfriend got the chicken fried steak (gluten free option) and while it was tasty as well, the steak was cut a bit too thick for our liking and wasn't as conducive to being battered and fried IMO. Overall, both dishes were played very nicely.Overall ambiance was lively and while it could get a bit loud in there during peak brunch hour, it wasn't unbearable. Our server was very sweet and checked up on us throughout. For the price I feel like we got a lot of food for the price. Will visit again!
