    I have been eyeing Christy's Donuts for some time now. When I drive by Christy's, it is usually after they have closed, or I have already eaten. Parking: pretty easy parking. It is on the corner of W Gray & Waugh, so you can enter or exit at two sides. It is not a large parking lot, but people seem to come and go quickly as it is mostly take out. Entrance & Ordering: small area to wait in line to order. There were two people in line in front of me and it went quickly. I had time to look at the fresh baked goods, the menu, and to make an informed decision. I read on yelp that the sausage and cheese croissant was tasty, so I ordered one and asked for a jalapeño option. The lady said she has a sausage and cheese kolache with jalapeño and I enthusiastically accepted. She warmed them up nice and hot. I paid cash since my order was $3.57 (and because I actually had cash on me). She seemed appreciative of cash for my small order. The croissant and kolache were delicious and I will be back for more!

    I waited too long to come here. I pass by it all the time and I did not regret finally coming in. The donuts are so good. Perfectly glazed donuts. Soft. Sweet. Great prices. Nice people. Just a solid donut shop.

    I ordered the chapelle sausage pig in the blanket, TERRIBLE! I took a bite from each end and the sausage was tough to bite and chew. I threw it in the trash. $4.

    The best donut shop in Houston. Honestly I can't tell why this place doesn't get talked about more often, and sometimes I'm grateful it isn't. They can definitely get busy, but they aren't city wide famous for some reason, so you can still get a parking spot. This is a Montrose institution as far I'm concerned, I've been going here since my days at UST. The building has never changed, and the quality has always been great. The plain glazed donut here is the only thing I've had that's better than a Shipley's plain glazed. Served hot and super fluffy, they basically just melt in your mouth when you get one fresh. The kolaches and other savory breakfast options here don't miss either, no mystery meat sausages or premade plastic wrap breakfast tacos. Every style of donut here is my fave compared to other neighborhood spots. Worth a trip into town for sure!

    Stopped by to grab early breakfast to-go for a road trip. This mom and pop shop is located in Montrose area and have a private lot. Got the jalapeños sausage&cheese kolaches and half a dozen glazed donuts. Turns out I've had Christy's many times through out the years in the office, and didn't realize since their boxes do not have logo or name. Tasted even better when freshly made! Kolache tasted fresh, the flavor and texture were good (much better than places with similar price point such as Shipley's and kolache shop, but not quite there yet compare to places with a higher price such as kolache Shoppe). The fresh glazed donuts are still warm and tasted like how a classic glazed donut should be, they also throw in couple free donut holes in the box! Will definitely come back again.

    Solid kolache spot that's been in its location for a while and surviving in an area of high gentrification. Old school and located on West Gray and Montrose, Christy's has a small parking lot and a very small building that sells some tasty donuts and kolaches. The donuts remind me of Shipley's and the kolaches are decent as well. They're missing a high quality jalapeño cheese kolache with a decent sausage but it's still better than most of the other kolache spots in the area. There is some interior seating but we got ours to go like most other patrons.

Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

    I was staying at a hotel nearby for an early flight the next morning. On the way to the hotel I…read moresaw the sign "Hot Biscuit" and since biscuits are one of my favorite foods, I decided to walk over and have dinner there. I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

    The breakfast and service from servers were pretty good here, I'd love to try more of the menu…read more What I saw by management/ownership will have me never returning here. I was catching up with my sister, we were there about 5 hours and the restaurant was empty. A mature-aged Asian woman came in, spotted the restroom door, and proceeded to it. The manager/owner (older man with balding hair) RAPIDLY went from the other side of the restaurant to intercept the woman right at the restroom entrance. He asked her what she needed, she told him to use the restroom, he then asked if she needed a table. When she replied "no", he stated that restrooms are for paying customers only. She was embarrassed, froze, said "Okay", and walked towards the exit. The guy saw my sister and I watching this unfold with screwfaces, so he tells the woman at the exit "Well go ahead and use it, you're already in here, I guess". While she was in the restroom he made a sign about their restroom stance and was taping it to the front door as the woman was exiting the building. We left immediately also. A business has the right to have such a ridiculous regulation, but this woman was dressed clean and came from a Lexus SUV. She wasn't homeless or some street prostitute that might be reckless in a public restroom. The idiot guy was petty, rude, inconsiderate, cold, and careless. I refuse to spend money at an establishment run by such a person.

They had live music on, and from the looks of it if you want to be a part of the show you can as they also have karaoke it looks like. The gentleman that greeted us was so nice and made us feel so welcomed! It wasn't one of those "oh I have to be nice to these guests because I'm getting paid" type people, you could really tell his niceness was genuine. I felt like I was at a fine dining restaurant. Our server was also very nice, and super helpful as I asked for a wine suggestion and she hit the nail with her suggestion. She brought a small sample for me to try before serving it. The food itself was delicious! We got the onion rings appetizer, and you could tell they were made to order. They were super fresh and also crispy. The chicken parmigiana was good, and they were not stingy with their portions at all. The picture I took doesn't do the dish justice. I will definitely go back to this place, as their food, service and overall experience is a great one when you dine in.

We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
