We would always drive by and see it full so we thought, man it’s got to be good. We finally decided to go for our anniversary and our experience wasn’t so great. The skillet potatoes were cold, the sausage and biscuit super hard and I was serve a raw waffle. I asked for another one and at least they made it crispier and inside was fully cooked but the taste was still off I only ate a quarter of it, my husband tried it and did not like the taste at all. The only reason why I’m giving them 2 stars is because the chicken was great and one server apologized and gave me a milkshake she had just made in front of Me.This was my review not too long ago and they contacted me, apologized and gave a me a gift card with a few bucks over what I had spent that day which is why we decided to rate them a bit higher. I am happy with the way they handled this issue and my husband and I decided to give it one more shot so I will be updating after our visit. ThanksWow wow wow guys what a difference! We are so glad we gave it a second chance. My husband and I ordered burgers and we enjoyed every bite and the French fries are fresh and natural. Completely changed our minds!!!! Thank you it was deliciousJack thank you for such a great service even our dog enjoyed our visit, you’re awesome
Friendly place, decent food - nice and well made but nothing exceptional. I liked all of it though. Had fried chicken waffles - never tried them before, not really my thing - much prefer fried chicken with savory sides but chicken was pretty good. Portions not overly generous. Had breakfast sandwich on next visit which was also good but nothing exceptional. Can sit outside with your dog and eat which is nice.
Stopped by this popular diner for lunch on a Friday. We had a bit of a wait (because it is popular), and we had a group of eight. However, the service was prompt and attentive once seated and they have an interesting, eclectic menu. I enjoyed the chicken and waffles... They make a bit of a fuss about their waffles! Others enjoyed salads and burgers. My waffle was delicious and chicken was tender, with genuine maple syrup served. All enjoyed their food, the portions were generous and prices are good if not inexpensive. Adult beverages are available. Seating is both indoor and outdoor and parking is available out front...but often full already. You can have curbside pickup food brought to your car, if inclined.
Forgot to take a picture of the food before we ate, it looked so good! Wait time for food wasnt long at all, even with a full restaurant. The veggie hash is really good, the small portion is perfect. I read the positive reviews of waffles beforehand, and Im glad they were recommended! Cold Brew was solid, too, only needed one glass.
Stopped here for a quick brunch before heading out of town. Service was great and food was served quickly and was presented neatly on the plates. Enjoyed the fried chicken on biscuit and the sausage gravy. Plus mimosas! Cheese grits were a bit underwhelming, but thats the only real knock to what we ate.
Pretty busy on the weekends so unless you come early there’s likely going to be a wait. The food here is worth the hype and always tastes fresh. Their drinks are also amazing and can even be sold out some mornings! The interior is modern? Industrial? Idk but I like it! The staff can be pretty busy but mostly nice. I’ve only had their breakfast menus so I can’t say much about lunch or dinner. However, I would love to try their lunch and dinner. My favorites on their menu is the french toast, chicken/waffles, and the sweet potato hash. The butter that comes with their waffles is life changing. 🔥🔥🙏🏼They are pretty good about letting you do substitutions. I sometimes like to make vegetarian substitutions and they are cool about it. I really like their veggie sausage made with beets.
Seriously good simple food. New meatloaf sliders are perfectly balanced in their flavors and unexpectedly good. It is exactly the type of thing that starts with a basic or traditional concept but is elevated above heritage. Farm to market and ranch to market are prioritized and promoted. Everything seems well suited for Cholula hot sauce which gets no complaints from me. Prices are a little high but not unexpected for the area. More annoying is dealing with the extremely vanilla new Austin clientele. Neither criticism is the fault of the diner but it is part of the experience.
Dinner last night at 24 Diner in Austin. I wanted a burger and my son wanted breakfast for dinner, we both scored!Bacon Avocado Burger - Brioche bun, bacon, avocado, charred poblanos, smoked aioli. What a fantastic burger made with Ranger Cattle pasture-raised Wagyu beef fromEast Austin. Even the house cut fries were amazing with a side of house buttermilk ranch.Cereal -Crusted Brioche French Toast - Macerated blueberries, chantilly cream. He really enjoyed this one.I also got a Diner Press cocktail - Tito’s Vodka, muddled lime, Richards Rainwater, which was quite refreshing24 Diner is in the same parking lot as Waterloo Records, so we had to stop in and do some shopping.
The food here was really good, but not a huge selection to choose from. The chicken and waffles are definitely great however the restaurant isn’t the cleanest…and there are flies EVERYWHERE. So if you’re cool with swatting away flies every two minutes and you’re not a clean freak, then I guess I would recommend this place for breakfast.
We ate here for brunch and really enjoyed it! We started with the corn fritters, which were out of this world! Highly recommend! My wife had the chicken and waffles and was really impressed, which is saying a lot considering that she always gets chicken and waffles at every restaurant that has it. I had the breakfast platter. It was awesome too!
A great experience showing you some of what Austin has to offer, and the food is delicious to boot.Sweet Potato hash with eggs, sausage, and poblanos is my favorite, but theyre also revered for their chicken and waffles.Coffee is also solid, and a great choice to start your morning.I cant say anything about the lunch, but if its as good as the breakfast, its gotta be tasty.
First look of this place is wonderful as we went around early 9 pm and our waiter was wonderful as my friend and I were indecisive and having more than one item we wanted. As the steak and fries was great but my steak was medium and not medium rare but as the quality and taste of this steak still was wonderful and the fries soaking up the juices, my friend said the 24 Hash was wonderful and was happy she didnt get the large one as this was plenty. The cinnamon roll was very sweet and good, while we were discussing the cinnamon was mixed and figuring out the cinnamon was a jam of raisins or apricot. Everything was wonderful and our waiter had a great personality and answered all of our questions.
Food was great and the vibe was nice.Ive been in Austin for a few hours and Im already saying vibe.Oh, well. When in Rome.The Prickly Pear Spritz was good and the Espresso milkshake was wonderful.I like the 24 hash as well.Jacob the manager was great and Jack the waiter was delightful and attentive.I dig the life changing brown sugar butter.I would definitely return.Great place and great staff.
Honestly, Im not even an Austin native, I was just visiting for the weekend. I frequently visit Austin and I love trying the local food. 24 Diner? Hands down had one of the best Chicken and Waffles I have ever had. The chicken? Seasoned to perfection. The waffles were super fluffy. The brown sugar butter??? Tasty. The customer service? A1. The prices? Affordable. It was so good I went back the next day and reordered the same thing (this time to go). I think when I visit Austin again, this will be my spot. I cannot wait to try their lunch and dinner options! Great for brunch!!!
Where to begin. Firstly the temperature in the restaurant was unbearably cold. Hostess was sweet and offered us a table right away. From there we waited 10 plus minutes to be greeted by a server for drinks. Although once he did arrive he was super sweet. The food was so bad. I had the waffle combo which included eggs and bacon and my boyfriend had the chicken and waffles. We both agreed the waffles were terrible. I don’t understand how they are known for them. They were hard, dry, heavy and the flavor was weird. My boyfriend’s fried chicken was probably the worst I’ve ever tasted. It was bland and tasted of flour. I couldn’t even bother having more than just a few bites of my meal. I left there still hungry and very unsatisfied with the entire experience but more so the food. To top it off I was shocked at the hefty bill we were presented with. $55 for two standard diner meals and a Diet Coke. Definitely will not come back here. I wish I knew our servers name because he was the only redeeming factor out of the entire experience and the hostess.
Amazing service, romantic vibes, staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Food was out in a timely manner and was incredible. I got the mushroom burger, by far the best burger I have ever eaten.
The chicken and waffles had very little flavor. Service was great and coffee was good! Little pricey for what they serve.
I used to love 24 diner. This time was a nightmare, the service at the front desk and server was rude and unwelcoming. When getting the food my order was wrong. I order extra items that never came. I normally go for the hash but today hash was mushy potatoes instead of more crispy ones like in the past. I dont know if it was a off day or the changed the dish. Then we were all so excited for the famous cinnamon rolls.. I took a bite of the middle of the roll, it was raw. I am hoping it was just a off day because I used to tell everyone it was my favorite breakfast in Austin.
Ordered the Pulled Chicken with Avocado Sandwich (highly recommend) and Waffle Breakfast. The Waffle was a little on the tougher side. The manager came over and asked if something was wrong with the waffle we told him it was a little tough he explained that this was a Belgium waffle which typically has a tougher texture and asked if we wanted to trade for anything else or a new waffle. We declined and just said we were okay with the order. He was very courteous and ended up removing the charge for the waffle without us asking. The waffle flavor was not bad and I assume some people enjoy this Belgium waffle it just wasnt our type of taste. Overall good service and food and the way the manager behaved with us made me feel very appreciated as a customer. I would definitely recommend.
If you’re visiting or on vacation, don’t waste a meal coming here. Definitely was not worth it. The menu was really small and the 2 dishes we did order we’re not impressive at all. It was definitely not worth the amount of money that we dropped her. On top of that, we ordered two drinks that came at the END of our meal. The final straw was that the server must have not been having a good day because she knew how to ruin ours. There wasn’t any redeeming qualities and we were honestly very disappointed.
The experience was enjoyable. The food was tasty and the wait staff was very friendly. The only reason they dont get five stars is because it was also expensive. I paid $16.95 for a patty melt and good fries. Dont get me wrong, the food was tasty, but not $16.95 for a patty melt tasty. One more thing, the peach cobbler was pretty dang good and was only $5.
24 Hour diner is a solid step up from everyday diner fare. Although the service is slow sometimes, the hash is very good and saying the portions are generous is an understatement. You wont leave hungry or unsatisfied. Be sure to come early because it fills fast. The other benefit to arriving earlier is the better weather for patio seating.
A diner claiming to be 24 hour diner but its not. 1 star. Change your name. Please. Jesus Christ.
Service was very good, food was very good. Coffee was terrific
Great food and great service. We had to wait a little longer than expected Sunday before noon and they offered us a free appetizer because of the longer wait. It was nice to offer without us complaining or anything. The corn fritters were amazing but the dipping sauce was even more tasty! You gotta try them! We had biscuits and gravy and the waffle sandwich. We will go back to try lunch.
We were in Austin three mornings and this was the best restaurant of the three we tried.
Food is decent. The ambience is pretty cool. Great place for lunch, brunch, breakfast and or dinner with family and friends🤙
I ate with my friends here today and it was phenomenal. We enjoyed the unique spin on the grill cheese sandwich. The mimosas were awesome! The burgers were very flavorful. We also had the 24 hash and it was superb. Our waiter, Wesley, was great at his job and deserves a raise ASAP! Big fan of 24 Diner; Ill definitely be back in the future.
The egg sandwich was really good! The smoke aoli was amazing on the sandwich! The chicken and waffles was really good! The bourbon honey syrup was amazing! Service was great! Atmosphere was cute!
I’ve Heard a lot of good things about this place but wasn’t super impressed during my visit.I had the fried chicken sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. I also tried to order an espresso milkshake but the milkshake machine was broken this day. (I’m not really counting this against them because I understand this kinda thing happens every once in a while. I suppose it doesn’t win them any points either.)The chicken sandwich was just mediocre with the bun being a bit dry and the flavor of the chipotle remoulade not really going well with the rest of the sandwich. I applaud trying to do something different with a classic but it didn’t really work in this instance.The Mac and cheese was pretty bland. Fries were not bad but were pretty standard. My girlfriend was disappointed with her waffles being hard on the outside yet stodgy on the inside and I had taste of hers before agreeing. For what it’s worth my friend who frequents this place said the waffles he’s used to being served are much better.I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they were just having an off day but I don’t believe I’ll be back anytime to find out for certain. This place is far from cheap and there’s just too many tried and true consistently great restaurants in Austin for that.One redeeming factor was that the service here was very polite.
Waffles were cold by the time I got home (which was less than a 10 min ride) and very dense. Eggs were cooked perfectly and still hot so that was good! As far the older lady hostess she is rude. I understand that yall were busy but seriously you made me feel like I was unwelcomed and bothering you. I had been waiting outside and received a text saying my food was ready that is why I went back into the restaurant.
Brunch here was AMAZING! I got the fried biscuit with chicken on it, it was yummy! They even let you pick white or dark meat. Best brunch Ive had around here
Service was excellent. Place is clean. Food was fantastic. 4 stars instead of 5 simply because they were not able to serve full menu. They were out of steaks and, more heart breakingly in my opinion, they were out of banana shakes 😭😭 really, if you dont get a roasted banana shake when youre here, then you are seriously missing out.
Chicken and waffles was very good, not like any waffle I have had before
The name says it all! This is an Austin-inspired version of an East Coast diner. Meat loaf, the BEST mac & cheese ever and Chicken fried waffles are on the menu. Just tasted the meatloaf. Wow, is seriously good. No joke and the chef is french-inspired. Bravo!!!! Pecan Porter on tap and Kentucky Bourbon 🥃 pie are also available. Pull up a chair and stay awhile. Or grab a booth!
One of my favorite breakfast places in Austin, great food and service. Not related but my kids also love that is located next to a record store
This is a very cozy restaurant with good food and very friendly service. The staff is amazing, very attentive and polite, you get well taken care of here. Ive only eaten here for lunch+dinner, never breakfast, so I cant speak to that experience.While the food is good, it doesnt quite live up to its price point, with the exception of the desserts and the milkshakes. I had a $17 burger and while it was tasty, it was no where near good enough to justify the cost. Ive had significantly better burgers around the $12-14 price range. This was my experience with the rest of the dishes Ive tried. Tasty, but not worth the cost of around $20 per dish.The desserts however are well priced, especially in terms of portions. On weekends you can get a truly massive cinnamon roll, easily big enough for two. The other desserts have similarly large portions. And the milkshakes here are too good to pass up.There is a bar inside and well priced beer on tap, making this a great place to go get a beer and a snack. They have cheaply priced sandwiches on the menu, an exception to the otherwise high prices.I mentioned the staff briefly in the intro but they deserve a more robust praise. They are the reason I keep going back despite the pricing. The servers themselves are very friendly, but where 24 really shines is the staff behind the bar. I always have a good time chatting with them while watching a football game and eating. Very friendly folks, who are great at what they do.4/5 stars, my chief complaint being unwarranted high prices for the dinner entrees; my main praises being the staff and the milkshakes.
I read the rave reviews, all about the $20 “hearty meatloaf”. Disclaimer: I made the mistake of not taking a photo of the “hearty meatloaf”. Why? I was in shock & awe at the size or lack of it… of this so called “hearty meatloaf”. 😱😱😱I was served 1 thin slice on a standard size round plate. Positioned dead center of the plate. The serving was so small that it was mostly plate. To be honest, a McDonalds quarter pound burger is larger. Underneath there were whipped potatoes and braised greens. There was so little of the potatoes and greens that the “slice” covered the “child” size portion. The meatloaf itself, good. Is it hearty… NO. Is it worth the price point of 20… NO. C’mon meatloaf is literally ground beef, one of the cheapest cuts of meat. Don’t even ask me to cost ingredients… long story short, I wouldn’t recommend this place. Not worth the money. You can have better meatloaf at Dennys…
I love this place. The food is good. The service is great. I had chicken and waffles. I did not even look at the menu this go around. The parking can be tricky but since corona the parking was ample. The food options are plenty and mostly feel good foods. The milkshakes are delicious. Waterloo records is next door. So, if you have a wait time you can visit them and 24 will text you. I recommend visiting here anytime you are in the area. Enjoy!
Enjoyed this place for breakfast. I had coffee n a basic breakfast plate of eggs n sausage. My friend really liked his sweet potato breakfast dish. The coffee was a medium roast. Server was very nice. There is plenty of parking on the premises. If i lived in this city i would come by late nite for breakfast.
First visit recently and omg...the food is incredible!! Top 3 best veggie burgers I have ever had. And, Holy goodness...the GREENS! Service was impeccable! Gonna be back...a lot.
The food was good, but the hostess Kate was very rude and not welcoming. It took awhile for anyone to come take our drink order. After watching the hostess Kate pass our table 5 times (she made sure to check on the 2 tables beside us as well as take their dirty dishes away), I stopped her and asked if she could send someone to us and she gave us and attitude. Me and my girls came here for breakfast to celebrate my birthday and this is how we were greeted. This was my first and last time here. I gave 3 stars only because our waitress Yasmine was very sweet and made sure we were taken care of. She even gave me a birthday mimosa. Thanks for ending my visit on a positive note Yasmine..... But I wont be back, Sorry.
Very good food and really good milkshakes. Staff are friendly, but be aware that if you come at a busy time you will have to wait.
Creative offerings, great ambiance and consistently good service. They also have some very nutritious options if thats a priority for you. I had the beet salad and veggie burger when I took my lover out for his birthday dinner.I had a taste of his banana & brown sugar milkshake and it was AMAZING.
It was pretty good. It was like the only non-chain diner I could find downtown, which is disappointing, but I think that’s just an Austin thing. My eggs were over cooked, but other than that it was very tasty.
Food was the reason it got 2.5 stars. Service was TRASH. Took our waiter 10 mins to even come to our table. The whole time being there I saw him twice. He didn’t bring our food or cash us out. We had to ask some other person to bring our tab. If your looking for terrible service with good food than this is your place. Pretty disappointed with the service. Wouldn’t come back. It wasn’t worth the time.
Great Food/ Bad service / Pricey🍴☕️🍳 🍴☕️🍳 🍴☕️🍳 🍴☕️🍳👌Dont get me wrong the food is really GOOD! However, for that price, I expect a great service and it just wasnt up to that standard. PLEASE KEEP YOUR EMPLOYEES HAPPY!! People come here for the experience and when the waiter and the host bring an unmotivated attitude it reflects on the restaurant and the experience of the customer. Even Chipotle employees are happier!😂😉
Went here around 9am. The middle aged white woman who led us to our table was extremely rude! The most actively hostile experience Ive ever had at a restaurant. Rolled her eyes at us after looking us up and down (we were dressed on par with everyone else there), interrupted me with a raised voice before I could finish asking a question about seat placement.Westley the waiter was amazing however with great service, engaging, and attentive. Props to him. Food was nothing to write home about; quite honestly would avoid going out of your way to come here.
Excellent chicken and waffles. The best Ive had in a while. The crust on the checked was perfect. The checked was cooked just right. I love their maple syrup!
A very cute, reto-style diner with surprisingly a fairly upscale menu! My date had the 24 hash, which was HUGE and so tasty. He absolutely devoured it. I had the grilled cheese (add jalapeños, TRUST ME), and the bacon braised collard greens. Those collards were to DIE. FOR. I practically inhaled them. Cant wait to try the sweet potato hash or the waffles next!
I visited here on a Friday night when I had originally intended to visit a place down the street for pizza. We ended up here and it was a pretty good choice. We got a nice corner booth and were the only group eating inside the restaurant.We were served by someone who was in training and she was doing a great job and was also accompanied by another kind employee. The inside of the restaurant was pretty nice and it is at a convenient location with plenty of parking on North Lamar.I had the 24 veggie burger with some mashed potatoes and it was really good. The burger was really good and the mashed potatoes were as well. We also scored a free dessert that they offered us because it was near closing as we were hear.Overall the place is pretty popular in Austin, had pretty good food and is good for bigger groups. Would recommend!
Great, consistent diner food. Super friendly staff. An Austin staple.
First time being there felt relaxed interesting choice on the menu theyve got some pretty cool dishes
Worth the weekend wait ! Veggie hash was out of this world and service was on point.
24 Diner is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin, Texas. The service is always spectacular and the food is awesome. That is always my experience.Its also the only place I drink coffee, because I love their coffee when its fresh brewed. And I am not somebody who drinks coffee every morning. In fact, I dont drink coffee at all...unless I am at 24 Diner.I only like to drink coffee when I go to 24 Diner.
Their chicken and waffles are served in giant portions which is much appreciated. Would recommend.
Amazing food. I am vegetarian so I have to be very careful wherever I go eat. I do eat eggs and we order two different plates and I would highly recommend to visit this place amazing food, great location, good customer service and good music. We also order a coffee I need came out perfect.
Def one of the best breakfast places in Austin. A little pricey but good portions and great taste. You can get a single waffle for cheaper but make sure you ask how much toppings are. I believe the strawberries were about $3 extra. The classic bfast was super good and the atmosphere is nice. Solid place.
Great food, excellent service. I would definitely eat here again.
Great dinner after a book signing at book people across the street. Fresh food. Delicious. Great cocktails too. At the end, we split an espresso milk shake that was to die for good. Glad we split because it was super rich.The atmosphere is modern but comfortable. The waitstaff friendly.If I find myself nearby again, I’d definitely come back. Who knows, maybe it will be a tradition if I keep going down for book signings.
Good option for breakfast and brunch. Known for their waffles which are good - not too sweet. The menu is not extensive but there are enough options to satisfy everyone. Tables spread out and good covid protocols. Friendly staff, shout out to Jamila who was nice and friendly
Really tasty! Sort of pricey brunch, $30 for two people, but decent portions! Really friendly staff ♡
Never been disappointed here, even when they were out of the weekends-only cinnamon buns.
I am a born and raised Austinite and always wanted to check this place out. So, I took my fiancé and his daughter to the 24 Diner for Fathers Day this past Sunday. We had a guy waiter (Israel) I believe is what the name appears on my receipt. Im not 100% sure this is his actual name though.Either way, what started as an nice brunch/early dinner breakfast for the misters special day, turned out to be a horrible experience. The waiter took our order and literally forgot about us the entire time. He stayed outside chatting with a table of girls the majority of our visit at the diner. We had a nice lady (food runner) deliver our food and a nice waiter who was helping his own tables (the guy in a pink shirt) assist with our refill requests, our food order, etc. Our waiter came back once after about 30 minutes of being outside, (trust me I time it), to ask if we needed anything. We said sure, some more coffee. He said okay and went right back outside and never returned with coffee. I felt this establishment had a decent vibe other than the poor service. The waiter did come back about another 30 minutes later to inform us he was leaving and that the girls at that table outside were needy and kept calling form him. He did not apologize for his absence, he merely stated he was done for the day and clocked out. I wanted to escalate this issue to the manager, but my fiance was not interested in waiting anymore time in the diner. We paid and left. The food was okay other than the experience we encountered.
Staff was friendly, food was beyond amazing . Prices were affordable, and the vibe was excellent. Felt right at home and the hush puppies were to die for . The biscuit chicken sandwich was cooked perfectly . The biscuits and gravy wasn’t too heavy like other restaurants. Overall good experience
Great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Will be back for the amazing food and mimosas.
Well 3 stars is middle of the road rating. The service was great. The restaurants decor and ambiance was on point. Early Sunday morning peaceful. My Chicken and Waffles exceeded my palate. However, my wifes eggs were undercooked (raw) so she didnt finish nor had an appetite for anything else. The staff made it right by removing from ticket. We will be back.
