That was Chicken Pot Pie???????. Sure wish I had read reviews before wasting $8.65 on food that I wouldn't have paid a dollar for had I known how unbelievably bad it was. Canned green beans with no seasoning. I'm not exaggerating. The "chicken pot pie" was made with stale, hard to cut bisquits, corn starch, shredded carrots, no peas, corn, red bell peppers, and garlic salt. And did I mention the corn starch? Only 5 minutes away is Boomerangs if you want really great chicken pot pie (which I think they call Meat and Veggie pies). Giving Austin Diner 1 star is being generous. No wonder the place was 80% empty at lunch time.

The only good reviews bout this place must've been employees. Terrible! I joined this site just so I could complain about this cheap place. I don't mean cheap menu items, you might as well cook at home from the 99 cent store...it would still be better. You can tell they cut all corners they can in their food quality & purchasing. My boyfriend lives walking distance from here. I would gladly walk out of the way entirely, just to avoid this place. I hope they go out of business & open a better joint up.

Beverages aren't great so stick to water. My boyfriend ordered a diet coke that was flat. My ice tea was just rank. No amount of sugar or ice could fix it.

As far as decor went, they were going for vintage but it looked like a filthy thrift store. You can tell by the menu they are aiming for that 50's american diner touch, but there is a mexican menu as well. I figured they didn't have the american thing down after my first failed order which tasted like crap. So i played it safe the next time & got chicken nachos. It looked like a child made them. Self serve glops of sour cream & guac...looked like turds on my nachos. Black, yet refried beans stuck to the plate with a mound of cheeseless nachos. But don't worry-plenty of onions. And strips of microwave chicken....yuck.

Their waffle was good. Bacon looked microwaved.

Hit & miss. But mostly miss.

Best Mexican Food In Austin. I am not form Austin and love Mexican food, this is the closest to authentic, had huge breakfast tacos with salsa that was Excellent, not hot, but full of flavor. I actuall keep asking my sister who lives in Austin to go back. I want to buy some of the Hot Sauce. This stuff could be bottled and sold!

Atmosphere comfy diner type. I even told my sister that tthe coffee was some of the best I had. I can't believe these negative reviews about the smell or the bad coffee. Very clean, excellent service, coffee, food! Can't wait to go back!!

BAD coffee. The food was adequate. I had the gingered pancakes which were actually very good, but my hubby's coffee was rancid. We changed it out twice to no avail. I wouldn't necessarily go back, this was just ok for me.

Completely Disgusting. This needs negative stars. Smells like death. Decorated like a Goodwill store, including the dust. Coffee that tastes like it came from an abandoned cabin. Maybe its the overiding stench of the place joining with the flavor. Meat generally tastes old, eggs: tasteless. Pancakes, dough-like. Prices: High. Freakin' ridiculous. Needs a Health Dept. visit and possibly a close down.
