    Umm, no thanks. I really didn't like this place but you are more than welcome to try it. I don't think the eggs are real. They are more than likely powdered eggs. Yuck! Me and Twin A are pretty particular about our eggs. These were subpar. You could fix a better breakfast at home. My husband mentioned that their omelet was good and maybe that was fixed with real eggs. Who knows. Either way, I am not going back. Our server was nice though. :)

    A great breakfast cafe experience. Took a southern omelette to go. Inviting atmosphere with the skyline prints on the walls. Friendly staff. Looking forward to going back and trying some different foods.

    Welcome to a quaint little gem hidden off Fry Road! I've seen this place on Yelp plenty of times but wasn't sure about the food. Honey let me tell you!!!! The pictures ABSOLUTELY do no justice! I ordered the Philly Omelet. Baby you owe it to yourself to try it! You can be a big back and get the half order of waffles with it, but you'll be too full to enjoy anything other than a NAP! The girls were also extremely friendly when I picked up my order. Service with a smile! The only thing that hide my heart was that they didn't sell those onion rings in the side!!!! I'll be back for a dine in experience soon! Save me some onion rings!

    Pancakes

    Such a cute little restaurant and our waitress was so sweet. 10/10 service. I ordered the Country Fried Steak & Eggs.. I was a little nervous because it can be easy to mess up but it was cooked nicely. Not tough at all. Simple and satisfying. My husband ordered pancakes which he devoured so I'll assume they were good too. Definitely recommend stopping by and giving them a try.

    Stuffed French Toast

    This was my second time here. First time, it was pretty busy on a Friday with lots of big parties from the surrounding schools. It was most likely the teachers. I decided to regroup and come back the next week. It's a small place but packs quite a punch. People are very nice here. I went with the stuffed French toast and added a side of bacon. They don't skimp on the bacon like some places. You get four slices. The coffee was nice and strong which is what you want with a nice breakfast. The French toast was delicious. It didn't need syrup obviously as it was sweet enough. The server did recommend some other menu items to try when I visit next time....which I definitely will.

    Was looking for a sit in breakfast and I am so happy we found this place! The food was so good! I got eggs Benedict, my husband got the omelette and we shared waffles with berries. The service was great and friendly and the place looked great. I liked the cafe decor. My only concern is the smell of grease. My clothes smelled so bad after. Not sure if their vents aren't working properly but it was heavy. Other than that food was great and the lady serving was very helpful and friendly.

    Eggs your way

    I found The Early Riser Cafe on instagram. They are located in Katy on N.Fry Rd past West Little York. Augustine was my server and made sure I was well taken care of. I ordered Eggs my way which was over easy eggs, hash browns and nice crispy bacon. I also had coffee and orange juice. The food was prepared very much to my liking, very tasty. I throughly enjoy the meal and service and will definitely come again.

    this was bad never i mean never pee on the floor toilet paper on it oatmeal on the table and waffles oatmeal was not cooked not good at all this was worst meal i have ever had and peaple did not try at all

    Eggs, sausage and potatoes
    Carl S.

    I found Early Riser Cafe after a very brief search of breakfast spots in Katy. After watching a cold soccer game, I wanted a great country style breakfast that was heavy on comfort. This place met my desires offering meals with mini pancakes as an option other than toast. I absolutely loved this offering since I wanted pancakes but wasn't ready to take on the huge size of a regular order. I had scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, and sausage with my mini cakes. The meal was served hot from the griddle straight to the table with no waiting. If you're there with a group, ask for permission to start the meal before them since all of the food doesn't arrive at the same time. There was a lean staff that covered the room without anyone feeling neglected. The restaurant is small so high traffic may create a wait but do because it's well worth it.

    A delightful surprise at Town Lake! The Union Kitchen delivered an exceptional brunch experience…read morefrom start to finish. The food was amazing, beautifully plated, and paired with fantastic service that made our visit even more enjoyable. Who knew beignets could be the perfect brunch dessert? Absolutely delicious. The Rishi Earl Grey tea was another standout and completely surpassed my expectations. This was my first visit, and I can hardly wait to return for another wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend!

    I'm up with a friend here for lunch. The service was good and the ambiance was nice, but I found…read morethe food rather average. I was excited to try the Captain crunch Chicken biscuit. When it showed up I was amazed by the large pile of food. As I began to eat though, I started to get disappointed. I cut into my fried egg expecting it to run all over my plate, but it seems like it was cooked somewhere between over medium and over hard. I was looking for tasting the hot honey, which appears to be under the dish as opposed to on top of it. I was looking forward to a soft fluffy biscuit, but it too was over hard. The Chicken was well cooked, a bit thin, and I'm not sure that the breading tasted anything more like Captain crunch than it did any other breading. However every time I cut into it the breading kind of just fell off into the gravy. The gravy and potatoes were redeeming, with good flavor gravy and well cooked potatoes. Overall, it wasn't bad, I ate it all, I just expected better for my $17.

    I ordered delivery and the food was pretty just okay. Food was well packed, however…read more The Urban Fries weren't too bad, although two little slices of pickles does make the food feel stingy for some reason. The chicken tender prices are criminal here, especially at the delivery prices, and it's definitely not the best tenders I've had. I don't rate based on price, but it's at least worth a mention. The spice level was good, however, and what I've expected for Nashville hot. I enjoyed the cup of seasoned corn, although there was one unpleasant bite where it was just char, like just black burnt stuff. They need to clean their grill better! Lastly, the Texas toast you can definitely skip. It leaned on stale and I'd rather used to butter in my fridge. The sliver of sesame on one side was fun, however.

    We came in to eat and were the only ones in there initially. After ordering it became very busy…read more It took 30 minutes to get our food and someone who came in AFTER us got his food before ours came out. We watched multiple people walk out because they were told it would take 35-45 minutes for an order of food to come out. Which is UNHEARD of for a fast food joint. When we ordered they asked if it was dine in or Togo which we told them dine in. They proceeded to pack up our food and practically rushed us out of the store. Apparently they value online orders and Togo orders vs the customers that actually want to dine in.
