The service was good and the atmosphere nice. The food missed the mark. I expected an explosion of flavor but didn't get it. The food wasn't very flavorful relying mostly on heat (peppers) without flavor. The food looks good. Not really a place I would try again. Even with atmosphere and service the main thing fie a restaurant is the food we come to eat.

This is a great spot, easily walkable from a lot of hotels. I stopped in today and enjoyed deep fried French toast and bacon. I was amazed at how crispy but not oily the French toast tasted! The bacon was life-changing. I'm going to write a poem professing my love for it later today. Run don't walk to this restaurant and get some tasty food!

Really enjoyed Phoebe’s Diner! I order the Migas with chorizo and it was delicious. Wasn’t that crowded when we got there originally at 10, but by the time we left there were tons of people lined up outside.

Not from here.

Overall OK. Food was not great. Expected a little more because of the good reviews. Was excited to try the biscuit and gravy.

Got a half order and only ate 1 of 2 biscuit halves. Gravy was too salty for me and had a weird taste. The “biscuit” was also very odd textured like a thick chewy piece of bread.

The lemonade was very sour, not sweet at all. There was also an odd taste to it.

Also got a half order of pancakes. The “whipped” butter was chunky and thick. Where I’m from, the whipped butter is actually whipped and spreadable. The pancakes were dense. The maple syrup wasn’t enough for 2 pancakes; I like them drenched. It wasn’t sweet enough or flavorful.

The good thing about this place was we got seated right away in a super busy place. It was only 2 of us. The group of 5 that walked up before us was given a 30min wait time. So if you’re one or two people, you’re more likely to get a table/seat at the counter. Anything more expect to wait for a bigger table.

Sunday brunch was fantastic. There was a line outside but with extra wait seating and the wait list process everything ran very efficiently. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful and our food was excellent. Multiple employees stopped to check on us throughout the meal and made us feel like they genuinely appreciated us being there. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Will definitely recommend and stop by next time we are in the area.
