5th Street Diner

quick service, can sit at the bar like a traditional diner. Has high chairs. Concise breakfast menu - not a ton but really good. Our toddler shared an oatmeal and it came with tons of berries. Iced coffee with almond milk and a hot americano - both good. Convenient location for out of town visitors staying nearby. Didn’t drink alcohol but had a good menu and lunch / dinner food too.

The duck and waffle was GREAT! and so was the French toast! Steak and eggs were meh... Steak had 0 salt or any seasoning. Staff was nice and friendly.

I came here with a huge appetite, I was breaking fast and planned on eating big. The server let me know ordering a classic breakfast and a pancake would be more than enough. She was right! It was all so filling, a classic diner meal. They use real blueberries in their pancakes and they had vanilla flavor for the latte I ordered.

Great food and great Service ! Ever was above and beyond! Friendly, always on top of the things and made a great cafe mocka for me! Like the place and he made it a great experience! Great asset for the dinning! Thanks Ever

We ordered a regular omelet brunch with milkshake. The food quantity was not much, especially for the price. The service was also not so good. The server was in a rush although the place was fairly empty. The place is within a hotel. The restrooms are accessible through the hotel lobby. It was a cool vibe overall, but the food and service were not great. There are plenty of other places to enjoy.

I should’ve checked the reviews before I ate there. The kind of, food, that they served is in question. I was extremely disappointed in the quality and the taste. I couldn’t eat the seed oil potatoes at all. It was difficult to eat the egg that was cooked with the seed oil as well. The bacon even tasted old, I don’t understand why they can’t cook, eggs and potatoes in the bacon fat, that’s what I would do. Now that I know what I know, I would not go back or recommend. I JUST CAN’T

From all appearances this should have been a great place for breakfast. It wasn't. I walked in at 7:45am and I was the only person in the place. Young girl said "Just one?". Not good morning or how are you. When I responded with good morning, she again said "Just you?". I was clearly bothering her so I stopped trying to be cordial and she said "sit wherever you like, but on that side of the restaurant" (man who took over waiting on tables was more attentive and in a better mood). As far as the food, good coffee, scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked, bacon had a nice smoky flavor and not overly crispy. The potato hash, however, was greasy and not seasoned. And the number one rule for any breakfast place - especially one that calls itself a diner - is any order of toast is two slices of bread cut in half. Not one small slice of sourdough cut in half. Overall, lots of other options in Austin, and certainly less pricey ones. $29 with tip for coffee, 2 scrambled eggs, 3 strips of bacon, hash potatoes, and one slice of toast. Good morning!

The food here was awesome and filling. I got the French toast with a side of eggs and chicken sausage. I paid more than I should have for eggs but ultimately my experience was good. The wait staff was very friendly and constantly moving. There wasn’t much space at the counter so it kind of felt like we were on top of each other. The place is kind of small and looked like that all around but it wasn’t too bad. I would definitely recommend grabbing brunch here!
