    What a pleasant surprise. We found ourselves out and looking for a breakfast spot-and we found a great one! Restaurant was clean, ample seating, great service and food. Egg sandwich with hash browns (that were nice and crispy!). Good coffee, in and out for two people for around $20. Give them a try if you're in the area.

    Breakfast combos

    Came here yesterday morning around 9 am with my husband for a quick breakfast on the way to run errands. I'm not sure how long they have been open, but we knew they were relatively new and wanted to give them a try. We were seated right away and it was not very busy. We both decided on combo breakfast dishes- mine eggs, sausage, hash browns, and a waffle. My husband got chicken fried steak, eggs, hash browns, and pancakes. We were both impressed with the portions, quality, and prices. Our service was really great as well. It's refreshing to have a breakfast place close that's not extremely expensive with small portions. We will be back to try their lunch and dinner too as their menu has a lot of good choices.

    Blue Burger and fries.  Delicious.

    This is the new location on Kuykendahl and we were really excited to try it. Breakfast and lunch only (hours are not posted on the doors). The food was really delicious and the serving size was a good amount as shown in the pictures. We had the Blue Burger, which is a large and tasty, and crinkle cut fries. We also had the hamburger steak with green beans (w bacon) and fried potatoes. Threw in a side salad for $.99 as well. Overall, the food was excellent. The service was fine ( I hate that word) but it was nothing remarkable. The server was efficient but lacked personality, I had to request refills and she didn't ask how anything was. The ambiance is pleasant, they were cleaning when we walked in and it needed it as there were some morsels displaying themselves on the floor. They could use some light music to help set a better experience as well. We will definitely go back to try other entrees as the customer favorite seems to be the Chicken Fried Chicken and Steak. The burger's are large but a little pricey. Overall, recommended and happy to see them so close by to our Woodlands homestead.

    The food is delicious! We enjoyed breakfast here. The steak tacos were my personal favorite!

    Pancakes had great flavor, a tad on the dry side but really flavorful.

    Service was very friendly, restaurant was nice and clean, food was great. Omelettes were nice and full with the meats and vegetables, potatoes had a nice home cooked flavor.

    My husband and I went for the first time a couple weeks ago after church and it was great!…read more My husband had a chorizo and egg taco, potatoes and egg taco, and the bacon and egg taco. I tried each one and these tacos reminded me of my hometown! The chorizo was the best one. I ordered a side of hash browns and strawberry cheesecake pancakes. Let me start with the hashbrowns first of all they were nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy in the inside honestly, the best hashbrowns I've ever had. I added a little ketchup and some pepper and it was a 10 out of 10. Don't get me started on the pancakes. I literally felt like I was eating a strawberry fluffy cheesecake. It was so good. I did not want to stop eating them, but they were amazing and since I didn't finish them, I brought them home and left them in the fridge and ate them the next day and it's like I was literally eating cake. So delicious. One thing to know about going to this place is it does get pretty packed in the morning. The service isn't too fast, but it's understandable because they do have a lot of customers in there so just keep that in mind but other than that, everybody was really nice and very welcoming. Also, it's really nice and clean in there a little crowded but clean. Overall, I think you should definitely get this place a try. I definitely need to go again to try the other items.

    My husband, son, and I went in this morning to get a late breakfast around 11. It wasn't busy and…read morethere were open tables but they all had plates and dishes left on them from previous diners so we ended up waiting by a table in the middle for it to be cleaned. We got told by a young black lady that she would clean it in just a minute. Well she did take the dishes off the table and we were able to sit but she took another 5-7 minutes to actually get back to the table to clean it. She kept getting side tracked by either taking dishes off other tables, talking to other servers or putting something into a computer. I finally asked another server if we could get the table cleaned and the lady finally showed back up and began cleaning it. It was pretty dirty and sticky so my husband made the comment that the table was pretty nasty and needed a firmer cleaning and this lady went off on him saying "no one told you to sit here if it was nasty, you didn't have to sit down here. That was your choice" and all in a very rude, condescending tone. We got up and left. There was no need for the attitude from her considering we were very patient waiting and there were at least 5 tables just left with plates and cups that were not clean. We weren't the only people waiting for a table to be cleaned. We've been long time customers of this place but we are never going back. My husband called the manager just after we left and said the same and she told us "good luck finding another place, have a nice day " and hung up. No apology for what was said. It wouldn't surprise me if the person cleaning lied to the manager and said we said something crude to her when we literally said a hand full of words and joked with her and she took it the wrong way and got rude with us. NEVER COMING BACK.

If a place has french fries, he's in. And I'd heard that Tony's was one of the best places to grab a burger in the area, so everybody wins here. I had the Juicy Tony and it was a solid burger. It's noted on the menu that is must be served medium rare, no exceptions - that's my preferred temperature anyway, so it was perfect for me. It was indeed juicy and tender. The cajun fries were a nice pairing. We enjoyed our experience overall. Was it a top notch, amazing burger? I wouldn't go that far, but it did its job and I'm happy we came and tried it out.

At least not enjoy spending it. But with prices these days getting way out of hand what can you do. I got the rattlesnake because I saw it touted as their award winning burger. Not sure from where the award came. But this and their trash can tacos had the emblem next to it. You also get a veggie pack with your to-go burger which has chopped lettuce, pickles, raw onions and 2 slices of tomatoes. That's nice so you don't have to put on the required latex gloves to use their veggie bar to get these yourselves. It's in a separate bag. I thought this was the buger at first and was secretly getting a bit concerned when I saw the cook toss it onto the counter like a bean bag. The cashier was super nice. He offered me water as I waited. They had another guy working in the back cooking the food. You also get a thimble of ketchup in your Togo bag along with a packet of mustard and mayo. The bun was a little burnt. And I couldn't taste any of the mixed in jalapeños. Also I kinda wish they had whole lettuce rather than chopped just because it kept falling out of the burger. But other than these issues the burger was pretty tasty. Definitely not a McDonald's burger like one person posted. But also not the best burger ever as many other posters swear by. Definitely glad I went. But don't know if I'd be willing to spend another $20 on one of their Burgers either. They're closed on Sundays according to Google maps which is old school nice to see.

Even the smaller details, like the fresh strawberry puree in the milkshake and the generous pour in the margarita, showed a commitment to quality.

Top quality ingredients, bacon & sausage were excellent, eggs were prepared perfectly and the breakfast potatoes were crispy and seasoned just right. My wife got an omelette that was stuffed full, and my daughter got bacon & eggs with a "fantastic" cappuccino. They were busy, but we got rings in at 9:45 on a Saturday morning. You can't go wrong here. Great desserts and other carry outs.
