Telephone: (512) 472-5400

24 Diner is a 24-hour all night Austin restaurant. We offering chef-driven comfort food, local organic fare, a full bar & a killer beer/wine list at affordable prices.

The diner was named one of “America’s Top 6 Destination Diners” by Bon Appétit. One of Austin’s best restaurants by Food & Wine, and has been featured in Texas Monthly, The Guardian UK, Zagat, CNN/Eatocracy, MSNBC, USA Today, Saveur, Mother Jones and more.

24 Diner was inspired by the classic diners of the ’50s. A place for people to come meet, eat, drink and have fun. Only this is Austin — so we left out the standard cookie-cutter diner stuff. No fluorescent lights, chrome or a cheesy refurbished jukebox in the corner. We blended a mid-century modern design with a big helping of Austin eclectic. Just like our food, it’s a unique blend of ingredients that’s delightfully unexpected.

Come hungry any time of the day — or night. Our chef-inspired comfort food will make you happy whether you’re craving chicken and waffles, veggie hash, meatloaf with sweet onion gravy or a tasty bacon Gorgonzola burger (try it with a fried egg on top). You’ll get extra grins if you order one of our decadently rich milkshakes — or a pint of craft beer or glass of boutique wine — to top it off. Good atmosphere. Good people. Good food. Good drink. All in one convenient location at the corner of 6th and Lamar.

I still love this place! Good coffee, great breakfast options, and breakfast served at all times (why is breakfast late night the very best?!). Although I still love the Breakfast Platter, the Chicken and Waffles is pretty amazing, with brown sugar butter! Plus, I like the fact that I choose white vs. dark meat. The Goat Cheese Frittata is a tasty vegetarian option.

Great food. Hadn’t been here in years… Not sure why. Lots of choices makes it hard to decide. We had 24 hash, veggie hash & side of Oatmeal with chutney. All great. I would NEVER have thought to pair Oatmeal with chutney, but it works. 🙂

On hashes we ordered small & I couldn’t finish mine (teenager did) … Main difference is more potatoes on larger one. Apparently

Their jams taste homemade… Not overly sweet, which I LOVE. More of the actual fruit flavor. Especially loved the peach.

Our waiter, OSCAR, was SUPER attentive & helpful. Ask for him! We will next time!

My first time coming here was in 2010 when my brother graduated with his undergrad degree. This is one of his favorite restaurants and it’s open 24 hours, like in the name.

It wasn’t crowded the first time we came and it wasn’t crowded this time. Another major thing I like was it wasn’t cold. Most restaurants I go to have me sleepy before I even order my food.

The first time I went I had the Betsy Veggie. It’s a handcrafted burger made with beets, lentils, flaxseeds and other delicious goodness. I swear I tried to recreate it but no such luck.

Since then I had been feigning for that burger so when we went last night, I was too hype. It tastes just as good as I remember. My waitress was pretty amazing. The waiter the first time I came was very knowledgeable about the burger so I was comfortable ordering it this time.

Late night, and an offering of this sort of menu. Fried chicken and Waffles, so Trendy. I’m in LA after Laker basketball, Or where to avoid the grey Austin DUI patrols. 24 Hour dinner is a good choice. Until Oil pays for the operation of the SATE. RIG, EXXON Mobile, the Bushes and Ted Cruz. Good food 24 hours.

24 Diner as the name implies, is a restaurant inspired by the diners of the ’50s and it is open 24 hours a day/7 days a week. The menu is filled with all the crowd-pleasing options comfort food that is locally-sourced. When I came here for brunch on a weekend it was about a 30 minute wait so my friend and I popped in next door to Waterloo Records while we waited for a table.

I was happy with my order of the fried chicken biscuit with honey and the side of fruit ($9.95). It was just filling enough but wasn’t too much or too little food. The coffee is locally roasted in Austin and it was great. I ordered a latte and it was huge! ($3.95) Both of these things were just what I needed to fuel my long day ahead of sightseeing.

This place isn’t your typical diner–the food is more thoughtfully prepared and presented. I would recommend it for breakfast or maybe an after-the bars type of spot but probably I wouldn’t come here for dinner. The service was good and I would come back.

I feel like I probably don’t come here enough, but I have been here 3 times in 6 years or so and every time 24 Diner has been great! I am absolutely a fan. My one regret for my most recent visit was that I was too full to have one of their delicious, magical milk shakes. The roasted banana is the bomb-digitty.

Get the deviled eggs – they’re great and the perfect appetizer. The greens on the plate are good too. The corn fitters were ok, but I could pass on them probably. I ordered the honey chicken biscuit with fruit. The biscuit was light and fluffy and the chicken was perfectly fried and drizzled with honey …. mmmm…. I would order it again for sure!

Our server we had on our most recent visit was super cool and definitely was a factor to the fun experience we had here. We ended up at 24 Diner at about 10pm on a Friday night looking for dinner. It was the perfect choice!
