    Wonderful place for coffee and a great breakfast or lunch!! My favorite breakfast is their French toast with strawberries and for lunch a smash burger or their Nom Nom Nini. It's definitely worth the stop they also have a cute boutique to do a little shopping.

    Two eggs scrambled, hash browns, and toast.

    Food was delicious and filling! Our server was very friendly and the ambiance of the place itself was very inviting. The small store attached to the diner has a selection of beautiful succulents as well!

    I love this vibe here. The food is very delicious and you can switch sides to any sides so I got double eggs instead. Waited for a bit to order but I enjoyed the overall experience

    The food here is excellent, and the staff is friendly. My daughter and I were passing through Luling and decided to stop for lunch. I had the chicken fried staek & eggs with hash browns. It was amazing - possibly the best hash browns I've eaten. My only disappointment was that on Saturdays, they don't serve "lunch", but only "brunch", so the grilled cheese sandwich that I initially wanted was not available. I guess that gives me an excuse to come back here on a weekday...

    Glad we stopped in for breakfast. The ambiance was nice. The owner was super sweet. The food was good. I'm a pancake lover-the pancakes did not disappoint! Don't forget to stop at the boutique attached-lots of great finds! I'll definitely be back the next time we pass through Flatonia.

    Inside the restaurant.

    Stopped at this beautiful restaurant in Flatonia Texas for a quick breakfast. Immediately, the hostess recognized us from our first visit and welcomed us. We ordered coffee and had eggs and bacon for breakfast. Eggs cooked to order and the bacon thick and delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are passing by Flatonia Texas and looking for awesome customer service and good breakfast, brunch or lunch.

    Nice signage

    Decent fare at a fair price. "We're only serving breakfast today," our waitress explained at noon. That was unexpected, as we'd already reviewed the menu they'd handed us and picked out the lunch items we wanted. We weren't greeted when we arrived. We were eventually told to sit anywhere, but weren't told who would be waiting on us. After awhile, a lady approached from behind the counter, took the order of the people who'd come in after us, then walked away. Soon after, someone sweeping the floors saw my hand up and came by to take our order. The food arrived quickly enough. My eggs benedict ("eggs benny") was tasty enough, though the eggs are over easy, not poached. Still, they were not overcooked and it worked. The hashbrows were tastey enough that I left the ketchup untouched. My dad's taco was pretty bland. It's hard to miss with an egg, cheese and bacon, taco but he says it was a miss. And they didn't bring a side of salsa or anything. Still, it doesn't bill itself as a Mexican restaurant and that's not likely their specialty. And it was pretty inexpensive. It's a nice location, and they're popular enough to fill the place on Sunday. Seems like a regular spot for the locals. They must be doing something right.

    What an experience! I decided to stop here for a burger and a shake on the way home from Houston…read moresince I had once tried the Texas Burger in Madisonville and liked it. First there was the drive-thru. The speaker doesn't work, there is no sign warning you, and somehow you are supposed to know what you want when you get to the window. Fine for those regulars familiar with the menu but they have no paper menu to look at when you get there. So the kid starts reciting it. To make it easy I ordered a double Texas burger dry with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and lots of onion. Kid didn't know what flavor ice cream for the shake they had, so he had to go look and memorize the flavors So I pay and wait. My receipt comes back saying no onion after ordering extra and nothing about dry. So they had to remake the burger and give a proper receipt. Everything was a big production, a comedy of errors by a completely clueless and incompetent crew with no adult supervision. I ate my burger while waiting for my shake and it was good. But I surely wouldn't recommend using the drive thru. Yelp was down for service else I'd have checked in. The business shares a spot with Subway and was hard to find as signage is poor despite being near the freeway.

    While returning from a work trip, I found this place and decided to stop to get a burger…read more I ordered the double meat burger with Cajun fries, drink and a cookie. Added jalapeno peppers. The place was crowded and a little slow. They shared space with subway and even shared cookies, which made me happy. I love subway cookies. It took awhile for the food to be ready. I stood while waiting. The inside was clean enough, floor a little sticky but I got my food to go. Got to the car to eat. The burger was very good and huge. It was like a homemade burger with premade patties. Lots of fresh veggies and good flavor. I couldn't finish it all but ate quite a bit. The fries and chocolate chip cookie were good. The drink was super weak. I got a Diet Coke. I would recommend getting the burger cut in half to eat in the car. It was huge.
