After three visits, Compadres Texas Cafe has officially become my favorite breakfast spot in The Woodlands area. Jason ordered the Griddle Platter with a Belgian waffle, scrambled eggs, and bacon, and enjoyed everything. I ordered the Eggs Alone with two eggs, cheese potatoes, and a biscuit with gravy. The cheese potatoes were so delicious that I ate every last bite, then took my eggs and biscuit home. They reheated beautifully and made an equally delicious lunch. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and breakfast is served all day. The service has been fast and genuinely friendly on every visit without ever feeling intrusive or bothersome. Compadres has the comfortable, homey feeling you hope to find in a locally owned Texas café. Their sweet tea deserves its own five-star review. I order mine without ice, and it tastes incredibly similar to the tea Grandma Lilley made in a pot with two full cups of sugar. It brings me right back to some of the peaceful parts of my childhood, which makes it far more than just another restaurant drink. Great food, wonderful service, and a mason jar full of nostalgia--we will absolutely be back. read more

I'd say I had a good experience overall! The ambiance is similar to any other casual restaurant, and you seat yourself. A server came over quickly, the service was good, and my sweet tea was consistently refilled. The food was affordable as well, although I did notice some pricing discrepancies between the online menu and the actual menu. I came here based on the online pricing, so I was a little surprised. For example, the three-item breakfast burrito is listed at $6.99 online but is actually $7.99 in person. The chicken fried chicken is listed at $12.99 online, while the in-person menu lists it at $14.99 for a small and $17.99 for a large. I also noticed that the online menu says three eggs are included with the chicken fried chicken, but I didn't receive them. I'd recommend updating the online menu so customers aren't confused. That said, I still had a great experience! The chicken fried chicken was excellent, especially with the mashed potatoes and jalapeño gravy. The burrito was a little greasier than I prefer, but it was still good. I also noticed they sell pies and cookies, so I'll definitely have to come back and try those! read more

Really good food. This is the first place to get my eggs right. Of course you will have to add salt and pepper to your eggs and hash browns but they are really good and you can taste the real butter. Good breakfast place. The jalapeno sausage gravy is pretty good but you can't go to wrong with breakfast. They are really nice people and they have all kinds of homemade jams. Kid friendly family oriented place. Makes you feel like your at home. read more

Cute place...let's start there. Ambiance very quaint, inviting...not from this side of town but definitely looks like a favorite for many peeps on that side. Service seemed a little slow, it took awhile to get our food and we only had two dishes one of which was a kids meal. Waiter was friendly and staff seemed friendly. They charged $6 for chips and salsa so just fyi...salsa was very good though, but come on...not $6 good. Kids meal was basic, $8 seemed like alot for what they got but was okay. The chorizo plate was very good, chorizo was tasty, beans were good. Bacon was nice and crisp as requested. Pretty basic breakfast. Served with tortillas....guys they weren't homemade which was a bummer, but they did their job. Coffee was good, and rootbeer float was good. This restaurant definitely has potential with some minor tweaks, but for $48 after tip, we most likely won't be returning. Just too many other places that don't charge for chips and salsa, have homemade tortillas (just my preference don't come after me), and get better quality food for your money. read more

This place used to really be good. The chicken fried steaks used to be tender now the flat side is hard as leather. I ordered the fried green tomatoes and got four tomatoes. My wife got the okra, and it's a small amount, compared to six months ago. I've eaten here for several years, not anymore. This will be the last time I ordered from that place. read more

Ooooo weeee stopped in for a quick lunch and I am impressed very good portions! Great tasting and friendly staff! read more

Compadres Texas Cafe - #2 Southwest Chicken Enchiladas - Tex-Mex Near Me - OakRidge North, Texas

Great cafe, friendly staff and the food is always good. My daughter loves going to get breakfast there

This secret little spot is a favorite. Friendly service and lots of options on the menu. When you come in you'll be greeted with a wave from across the room and they'll tell you to sit wherever you like. Tons of breakfast items, omelets, sandwiches , burgers, enchiladas-they have it all. This a a true cafe/ diner/greasy spoon kind of place. I love their tuna sandwiches which we had during lent and the onion rings and fried green tomatoes dipped in a super duper delicious ranch dressing is out of this world. They have daily specials and their ice tea is really good. It's always crowded during peak hours but never a wait. Try it out. read more

The service was nice and the place looked cozy. The food was just basic. It was a good breakfast but just needed a little something more. I also got the peach and cottage cheese and that wasn't very good or what I expected so I think they should replace or up that option. read more

Haven't been here in years. Decided to try breakfast. The eggs were made to order and excellent!! Sausage was good and the pancake was too sweet and a little rubbery. My mom got the Mexican breakfast and the tortillas were too doughy. Not cooked long enough. Service was friendly and they kept our coffee full! Very clean and decorated cute! Will come back and try lunch! read more

The breakfast portions are great . I eat the eggs with diced tomatoes and jalapeños. Great flour tortillas! And their homemade hot sauces go with everything read more

Let me tell y'all something. This here restaurant is absolutely amazing. The food was great. The service was great. The atmosphere was great. The only downside was them being so far from where we stay in Houston, which still isn't too far. Maybe 30 minutes away read more

Fast and friendly service and great food. We will stop by anytime we're in town! Locals are bless to have it so close by!

Great country & texmex cooking! My husband had the bubba burger, I had the CFC with cream gravy, and my son had pancakes for dinner. We were very pleased with our food and service. Do not come here looking for an "aesthetic" vibe. The decor is just sweet and homey. If you're hungry, hungover or just looking for some comfort food, this is your spot. read more

The food is excellent ,the staff are very friendly and the service is superb. The prices are very reasonable and everything is immaculately clean. Definitely a 10 out of 10. read more

Dropped in for a quick break, and to try the sausage gravy and biscuit. Also I appreciate the typical Texan diner decor and atmosphere: CW music and lots of western cashe. Biscuits were Ho-hum. Not very fluffy. Gravy was plentiful and strangely, not cooked with sausage but separately? This is weird. read more

The place was clean and the servers friendly but the food was poor quality, bland and unappetizing. (Chicken fried steak.)

Great restaurant with home style cooking. The chicken fried chicken is the best that I have ever had and the cream gravy is perfect. Their breakfast plates are also very good. Just wished that I lived closer to their location but I do go out of my way just to go whenever I get a chance. read more

Disappointing! Ordered ribeye rare. Half was pure grizzle and couldn't be eaten. Other half was veined with grizzle so I was only able to have about 5 bites. I told the waitress and she said "well we're not a steakhouse" then turned to the next person and asked after their meal. Wow! We had to pay for this steak that couldn't be eaten. There was no offer to make the situation better. They didn't care! Two stars because the pinto beans were good. read more

Hidden gem, family friendly and very hospitable service. Good portions with good tasting food. Too many items on menu so most everyone should be good to eat here. Plenty of parking. Average noise and reasonable prices. They may even have a joke of the day for you. Will visit to try other entrees and don't forget deserts. read more

I have eaten here a few times now and very pleased with the food and the service. One time I walked in and about 25 people had just ordered and I asked if they could get my food out fast as I had to be at work in 40 minutes. No problem they brought my food out in time for-me to enjoy eating and not just stuffing my face. So far only breakfast eaten but always good portions, good taste and served hot. Plus I really like their variety of jellies offered. No the old mixed fruit stuff. I love old fashion cafes and have found this place after 7 years in the area. It was just a half block from where I turned to get home every day. So looking gif a great diner drive that extra half block. Place is always clean and has good traffic from locals like me now. read more

What took me so long to dine here??!! Hidden gem for sure! I had the southwestern chicken enchiladas that were to die for!! I had to leave room for strawberry rhubarb pie! Yummy yummy yummy l can't wait to come back and try the chicken fried steak read more

I stopped by here cause I was craving a breakfast taco but when I went in there I saw that they had breakfast burritos so. I got one and they a good choices to choose from and when I tell you it was so great plus the salsa tasted homemade. The lady in the front was so nice to me and very patient and the food was hot and came out pretty fast service was great read more

My family and I came here on Mother's Day for some breakfast. It was our first time here, and it was a great experience. It has a casual, homey feel, with lots of Texas decor. They also seem to make and bottle their own hot sauces and jalapeño jellies, which are available for purchase by the register. The food was delicious! I had chicken and waffles which came with cream gravy and jalapeno jelly (both on the side), and omg, the jalapeno jelly was so good! The portion size was huge, too - I couldn't even finish my meal! My husband got the Country Fried Chuckwagon Biscuit with chicken fried chicken, sausage gravy, eggs over easy, hashbrowns, and cottage cheese with peaches. He mentioned several times how delicious everything was. My daughter got the Griddle Platter with a Belgian waffle, eggs, and sausage on the side and you could smell the waffle before they even put the plate down. It smelled so good that my husband spent the entire meal jealous that he didn't get a waffle, too! Our server was extremely friendly, she came to our table and told us some jokes, which we all enjoyed. My daughter was excited to tell her a joke, too, when she came back to our table. She appeared to enjoy her job, which always makes the dining experience so much better for the customers! I haven't been to Compadres for the lunch/dinner menu, but I think it would be hard to come here and not get breakfast. They serve it all day, and they do a fantastic job! Can't wait to come back! read more

Not great, we wanted to be, but food and service were very disappointing. The chicken fried steak and home potatoes tasted like they were from a frozen box, definitely not fresh. The eggs however were very good. Coffee was good, only had one cup because no one came around for a refill. read more

Hadn't been here in a while and I wanted a place to have breakfast and get some work done. Ordered the omelette which came with a potato side, grits and toast...huge portions. You definitely get your moneys worth. Everything was cooked well and tasted great. read more

I love compadres. I'm a bit of a picky eater and they accommodate my endless substitutions with a smile. Their food is always good. If I want a hamburger for breakfast I can get it. If I want bacon and eggs for dinner, that's ok too and it's always good. I'm working my way through all their different hamburger toppings. So far, I have loved them all. Love the employees as well. read more

A real cafe diner experience with excellent service and scrumptious food. I had the Hamburger Steak with grilled onions, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, and green beans. My friend had the Philly cheesesteak with onion rings. Both meals looked as wonderful as it tasted! This place is a favorite! read more
