    Hot chocolate and water
    Shermika H.

    Upon entry is a beautiful coffee bean aroma !!! Passing up tables of large portion plates. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. But the food was delicious and the waiter Ms.Wendy put us on the specials and her recommendation that didn't let us down. Beware: that homemade spicy pan sausage is very spicy!!! But really good

    Tomato Soup of the Day (150-650 cals.)
    Thione T.

    What a cute lil diner. I love that the menu is a newspaper that apparently updates, staff were very friendly and attentive and food was great overall. I enjoyed my meatloaf and they had an option for a dinner size or lunch size, but the waitress was kind enough to inform me that if I wanted a cup of soup I might as well get dinner, so I did. They do soup of the day which I find really fun, today's soup was tomato I greatly enjoyed each bite. Onions were good and I was able to substitute my potatoes for hash browns cause I was feeling it. My friend even got to sub his soup of the day for chili. Very friendly and accommodating on how you want to order/eat. Overall would def come again to try other stuff on the menu! P.S. I will say I was not a fan of the cornbread, but everything else was delicious!

    The lunch and the breakfast is amazingggg here! I've been here several times and they always do an excellent job at what they do. The servers are always nice and the food is always good. The overall vibe of this Diner is very comforting and it reminds me of being in a warm cabin. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

    Welcoming hostess and staff! Let's share what the food is about: *Chicken Avocado Club: 5/5 *Chicken sausage scramble: 2/5 - although it was supposed to be on the healthier and it was a lot of food and the egg whites were overcooked/mixed with a little yolk. It also had a lot of cheese. *Cinnamon Roll French Toast: 3/5 - they had a nice portion, but I think it needed more frosting. *Southern Scramble: 4/5 - not much to say here except that the biscuits are really, really big. The place was really quiet. There wasn't a line when we came in. We really enjoyed our food because of the service. We will definitely be returning and appreciate everyone for being so kind and friendly.

    OUR Biggest - The GRIZZ, check out those hash browns.

    The food was great, especially the hash browns with cheese and bacon!! The burger had bacon chopped up on it so you got bacon in every bite. The pancakes get a thumbs up. Brigette our waitress talks fast but had a good attitude.

    Chicken Fried Steak Omelette (1170 cals.)
    Marian G.

    We came in on Saturday morning and the place was packed. There was a 25 minute so we opted to eat outside. Our server, Kim, was pleasant and attentive. Although the restaurant was packed it was not too loud walking through to the outside dining room. The portions were large and we couldn't eat all of our food. The biscuit itself was a meal! And both dishes weee delicious. There is an extensive menu so you can order pretty much what you want. We will definitely be back.

    House salad (I had already eaten a cucumber slice)
    Isaura C.

    We have been here for breakfast and it was good. We stopped by for dinner and the food was pretty sad. We ordered the chicken fried steak, chicken strips, and kids chicken Alfredo. The chicken fried steak had ground beef texture with a really hard coating. The chicken Alfredo was dry and the noodles looked and felt old. The chicken fried steak came with a house salad and that should have been an indicator of how the rest of the food would be. It was missing all the regular "house salad" stuff. Place was pretty lonely, I thought this would be a good thing because mornings are always so busy. Now we know. Come for breakfast but nothing else. The staff was nice and the fountain drinks were great.

    Build your own with link sausage, eggs, and red white and blue pancakes (upcharge jut worth it)

    Yum! I have eaten here twice now and plan to make this a habit when here for work trips! If you have been going to the ihop nearby, this is your improvement. After several slow service breakfasts without a single refill and average food at best I figured it can't hurt to try something new. This place has kept me loaded with fresh iced tea. They greet and seat you as soon as you come in. The breakfast is HUGE, delicious, and very well presented. I didn't even finish half my first meal- eggs that weren't overdone or made from a powder, sausage, potatoes, a huge biscuit. Stuffed and ready to start the day. Today I wanted something. A little sweet but still some good savory- the sausage links were so good and these pancakes hit the spot. If you come here, you'll leave FED.

We had to switch tables because the booth we 2st were seated at was poorly cleaned. We asked for a another. We were moved. The gentleman that took our out was very attentive & kind. I had steak tips, they were overcooked. My sister had bourbon glaze salmon & shrimp, salmon was overcooked, my kids & neice had Alfredo pasta & tenders, they had no complaints so I was fine. Maybe try again when they have all Fryers working or when they have better non-furred food options.

It wasn't bad. Nothing like that but it wasn't OMG. Houston metro being so huge and big about it's food, there's more exciting choices especially for chain steakhouses. But i will say this is the first time i got food from here TO-GO & i like what I see. Most places it looks like a gross imitation of what it's suppose to be when you dine-in. (I hate that ish with a passion: The presentation looks like you're punishing me for being too busy to eat in, so you throw things together & forget stuff like it's fast food.) So i can honestly say you get bang for your buck here. Def will be coming back dine in and take out.

There is a huge menu selections and I opted for the shrooms burger with fire fries. The burger was decent and I enjoyed the fire fries. However I knocked off a couple stars because my friend ordered the ribeye steak and it took the chef 4 tries to finally cook it correctly. The steak is as pretty thin hence it was probably hard to cook it medium rare. Not only that, the steak didn't taste seasoned and it was tough and bland. Definitely don't order a steak here. However I hear from my other friends the pizza at bubba's is good though. The manager said she would take care of my friend since my friend had a bad experience with the steak but when the bill came the manager didn't "take care" of it. I had to tell the server which was another inconvenience. Overall the manager and staff were trying their best but the chef back there needs to learn how to cook a steak because it was just awful.

They have a rewards program, and if you signup now you can get a free 12-inch pizza with any purchase of an adult entree. Also, for the holiday season they are running a deal where you can get $5 if you buy $30 in e-gift cards Cheers!!

We had: Strawberry cheesecake Açaí bowl - 10/10 - it was perfect in every way. Bits of cheesecake, granola, strawberries and a drizzle of honey. This bowl alone could feed two people and three wouldn't be a stretch. I also had a strawberry vanilla soda type drink that I wish I got a larger size of because it was so good. Think a float without the thickness, it was refreshing and unique. Caramel Pecan Dream - wow 10/10 - it was so RICH and the consistency was amazing. The little bits of pecans were the perfect contrast to the creaminess of the shake itself. Burger and sweet potatoes fries - 10/10 - they do classics well too, no real notes but it was delicious.
