mess is honestly the quintessential texas a&m brunch spot. here's a quick breakdown of my favorite…read moremenu items: chicken & waffles: - whether you get the chicken spicy or not, they come crispy, juicy, and pair excellently with the fluffy and hearty waffles. - i've tried each of the options for sauces / syrup replacements and my personal favorite is the aioli, it adds a nice tang to each bite similar to a sweet honey mustard (and if that sounds weird with waffles, just give it a shot, it cuts through the juice of the chicken and the fluff of the waffle and really ties each bite together nicely) iced coffee: - for the price, it did not taste bad at all but it was just too expensive for the portion size, in my opinion. although, i realize the price is more or less in line with other brunch spots in the area. buffalo mac & cheese: - everytime i bring my younger brother here, this is what we go for. it's a perfectly cheesy, tangy, and gently spicy mac and cheese with chicken in it. we absolutely love the choice of macaroni noodle as well as consistency of the cheese. generally, mac and cheese can mesh together as repetitive bite to bite when there isn't enough variation from bite to bite, but with the chicken, pockets of buffalo sauce, and pockets without, each bite feels fresh and definitely registers this mac as one of my favorites anywhere. note about ambiance, service, & seating: - service is consistently solid, friendly staff! - seating can get PACKED during typical brunch hours, outdoor seating is available if the weather permits but get there early if you want a good shot at getting a seat, or just wait for one to open up:) overall solid 5/5 brunch spot and my favorite that i've been to in texas tied with the breakfast klub in houston!

I wasn't disappointed. The area is beautiful! The ambiance of the dining area is simple and tactfully decorated and the chairs, comfortable. Our sever was happy and upbeat and the managing owner checked in on us frequently to make sure that we were taken good care of. A sure sign that they care about their customers. There menu is interesting with a creative twist on breakfast/brunch fare. I had really good breakfast tacos with a small black bean side. To be honest, I am not a black bean fan but really enjoyed these! The home fries were also very satisfying. They also offered cornbread pancakes that were really something special. The manager said that it was their own take on pancakes and Johnny cakes. My whole crew enjoyed everything! The whole experience was really pleasant and plan to visit again next time I am in town. The restaurant was bustling with a lot of people who all seemed very happy. I thought the ambiance was great which has really left my with a positive impression of the place. Great job crew!

Unfortunately, it looks like the original diner is no longer in use, at least when we went, and a separate bar area had opened next to it where they now seat everyone. Though parking is plenty, it was hard to understand the layout when we first drove in. They still use a gravel/dirt/grass lot, which isn't a big deal, but the spaces of where we could park weren't immediately clear. I was impressed by the inexpensive options on their menu though and the portion sizes were big. However, those are the only good points. We ordered biscuits and gravy, breakfast potatoes, and their Pig in a Pancake, which wraps a breakfast sausage in a pancake. The food was overly salty and my pancake was very dry. No syrup was brought out; we had to go grab it ourselves. Same with eating utensils, which they now use disposable plastic ware. Paper towels are on each table, the only convenience. Though the employees here are nice, they did the bare minimum and never checked in on us after bringing us our food. I'm sad to see that this place has gone downhill.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated with vibrant, colorful murals and has a romantic, welcoming atmosphere. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Service began with complimentary chips and dips, which were fresh and flavorful. We started with the Queso Fundido--such a generous portion, and we finished every bite. It was really good. For our entrées, we ordered Mima's Pasta Poblana and a half order of the Barbacoa. The Barbacoa was flavorful and very well done, but our favorite dish by far was Mima's Pasta Poblana--delicious, unique, and memorable. Service throughout the meal was good, everything was reasonably priced, and the overall experience was excellent. We're already looking forward to visiting Frida's Kitchen & Bar again and trying more from the menu.
