Phoebe's Diner

The 20 Best Brunch Spots In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"There are a couple locations of Phoebe’s Diner, but if you’re seeking the original 1950s-style classic American diner experience, you’ll want to head to the OG on Oltorf. Breakfast, brunch, and lunch are served daily—show up during the week for a relatively quiet and relaxed atmosphere, or on the weekends at noon for the busy old-school diner experience, complete with mimosas and sake-based cocktails. While the menu leans classic American, you’ll also find some distinctly Texas twists, including pimento cheese omelettes, deep fried french toast, and smoked brisket burritos. You can’t make a reservation here, but you can add yourself to the waitlist online before heading out." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
