When I walk into a restaurant and see a full house, it is an indication that the food is good. Sunday afternoon, I wanted to try a new restaurant for lunch. I am so glad my mom and I decided to eat here. The staff were so warm and hospitable. I ordered my food to go. Gus, the owner of the restaurant greeted me while I sat at the counter and waited for my food. He walked around to each table and spoke with the patrons. It seemed like we were all having lunch in his home and he wanted everyone to feel welcomed. Mom and I both had the strawberry waffles. They were so fluffy and delicious. The strawberries were fresh and sweet. I will definitely return! read more

Great breakfast! Good service. Even rises bushes out on the patio. Delightful family owned restaurant. We will do back again read more

I'll be honest, I don't remember what we had at this place. I just remember it being good enough for me to keep the receipt, forget about it, find it, and still come back and write this review. The vibes of this place is so comforting and nostalgic in that it's one of the old school mom & pop home cooking diner type spots. It looks like a true family-run business; they were so gracious. My niece had an issue with her food, and they quickly rectified it. It was just good vibes, food, and service all around. Just go and enjoy yourself! read more

I brought my daughter here for breakfast one morning. We sat at the bar, our waitress was absolutely fabulous. (An older Hispanic lady, I didn't catch her name) She was great with my kid and conversation. They had cereal on the menu so my kid was excited. I ordered the soup of the day, the gyro plate and the cabbage rolls. The soup was ok, 3/5. There was something too gritty in it for me. The gyro plate was a little underwhelming, the meat itself wasn't terrible tasting it just tasted packaged. And I was really sad it came with store bought pita. The cabbage rolls were actually good. Not what I was expecting, but good, would've asked for less cheese or no cheese at all. Price point for all our food was a tad high for what you got. But service was great. This place is quaint and seems to have regulars. read more

Little Gus Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Plano, Texas

We ordered food, the food was bleh at best, majority left uneaten, the check came back 3x what menu suggested- when we asked for clarity the waitress started apologizing and said it was rules from the owner but made sure to say the owner wasn't there to discuss the misalignment. Paid and will never return. Suggest you all save yourself the trip and price gauging read more

good service but terrible food. I have had the pancakes which are hard and overcooked or the batter is bad. opposite of fluffy. Bacon is weak. Omelettes are ok but veggies are huge chunks. Burgers are terrible, no love put in to the food. The Cook is rude and must own the business due to his behavior regarding the overcooked and tought pancakes. read more

Service was amazing. Food was made fast and delicious. Room temperature/ AC was perfect- very clean restaurant read more

1000000/10! to start the staff greeted us and treated us like they've known our family our whole life. Nana and the second waitress we didn't get the name of, were such warm and accommodating individuals. the food was also amazing. really good home cooked breakfast they even had a mexican plate as a special of chorizo and eggs a greek take on a traditional plate that my mother loved. all the breakfast plates we got were so great and the liver and onions were enjoyed as well. the place gives an old diner type vibe that is inviting and comfortable. we can't wait to go back and visit our new extended family and enjoy their great homemade food. so glad we found this place read more

The staff were so warm and friendly and they loved talking about their kids. They were enlightening and a breath of fresh air. It's a good place to have a coffee at the bar and chat it up with the folks there. On the downside, the food lacked personality. The Pancakes were dry and the Omelet dish was bland. Too bad the food didn't have personality like the staff. read more

Good food and good service. Would go back again. Tried their Denver omelet which was good.

Hubby and I enjoy this place very much. Been here twice. Owners remember us from the first time. They are sweet people. All the staff are so friendly and check on each table, refilling waters and coffee regularly. It is a great little corner restaurant. Super cozy, family feeling. They have tables, booths and a bar. Perfect environment for any size party. Food is plentiful and then some. He finishes his plate, but I never can. read more

Visiting here was a happy accident! Foiled at our first attempt at a late breakfast on the way back from Love Field, I had this place on my radar for a couple days. Because of their hours, they always seem to be closed or closing when I drive by. This time they were open. The coffee is strong and readily & happily refilled. It seems like a real locals, hole-in-the-wall, hidden gem. We ordered the gyros and eggs plus the super scramble. It was near-perfect! Okay, I like my potato's with a touch more crispy brown on them, but they were completely cooked - not even a touch of underdone. One of the owners was our server. She introduced herself, was extremely welcoming, and even asked our names. We promised to return, so I guess we have to now! read more

This has been weighing on me for 3 days so I'm going to leave a review - Greeted warm and friendly, everyone smiling and engaging - sat at the bar - noticed ketchup bottles being refilled - nothing wrong with that at all. Saw the fountain and bottled beverages above - assumed the bottles were for take out - ordered a Diet Coke and I get a glass of ice and one of the bottles. Again - wish I'd been told bc now I have an exact amount I can drink vs included refills. Food comes and I have fries, nice and hot - squeeze Heinz ketchup onto the plate, dip the fry and something is off. Zero chance this is Heinz. I look up and see that these folks are refilling Heinz bottles with a brand I'd never heard of, never seen, started with a B, for sure bargain bin and for sure not Heinz! Why? Either serve Heinz ketchup and refill with Heinz ketchup or buy another brand and put it on your table. But don't be fraudulent! And now my mind goes to the display of the fountain and then getting a bottle. Just suspicious - what else are they pretending to serve or saying they serve but in reality give you an inferior product? The gyro meat was for sure the least expensive product they could find - pita was microwaved - just not quality. The fries were terrific - even as I just ate them with salt bc I couldn't with the dollar store ketchup. I want to love this place - but they owe it to their guests to be authentic and honest and pretending to serve Heinz, pretending to have a fountain - easily fixed. read more

Beve waited on me today. Very nice person. The food was delicious. Atmosphere is very relaxing. Nice area.

Very tasty food. We enjoyed excellent service. We enjoyed the chicken fried steak, gyro plate and the 3 pancake plate. read more

What a great experience. Arrived early and had some time while waiting for a new Josey Records to open in Plano with my son. Decided to get breakfast and found this gem. We both had the Gyro and Eggs and it was delicious. Served fast and eaten even quicker. My sons first time experimenting with lamb and not the last. Best part was meeting our sweet waitress Susie. So personable and friendly. I will be fighting my son to make the long trek up from Dallas to visit again soon. read more

I absolutely loved the customer service and interior of this place. Our waitress was so good! Super upfront and knowledgeable, told us about Gus, how things are cooked, made suggestions, etc. I was with my boss and just randomly came across this spot. She's watching her weight, weight watchers etc, and is not afraid to ask questions on how things are prepared or what she wants. Our server (forgot her name) was very sweet and blunt- I appreciate that. Basically told us that her omelette is homemade, cooked in butter but said she'd ask the kitchen to go light on the butter and cheese. They did. It was only 9 in the morning but I was between the gyro and falafel. She said hands down gyro and I was in. I know most places never make their own gyro meat, they typically get it from a restaurant supply place, and I assume that's what they do here (maybe I'm wrong), but my sandwich was huge, fresh, lots of meat, crunchy veg and a good tzatziki. I'd go back when I'm in the area for a quick and homemade bite. read more

Great breakfast menu with a Greek emphasis. I had the Gyro Omelette and it was pretty good. The potatoes for a side were very good. Did not leave hungry. Very clean and airy. Service was friendly but not too fast. My wife had to ask for coffee refills twice. The restrooms were one holers so you will have to wait if occupied. read more

I don't know about food there but service is horrible. Was sitting atone of two tables (the place was empty) for 15 minutes looking at waitresses and no one even acknowledged that I was there. read more

This is one of our favorite places to go for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. They save generous portions that won't break your wallet. The wait staff are friendly and very attentive. Gus himself is always there and will often go around saying hello to people and asking about their day. My favorites are their Grilled Cheese sandwich with a side of fries or their Chicken Fried Steak sandwich, if I'm in the mood for lunch. For breakfast I really like the scrambled eggs with bacon cooked crisp, but not brittle. (It's a fine balance, you know.). I've also had their French Toast multiple times. My husband typically gets their breakfast options because he likes his coffee. He likes their breakfast tacos, scrambled eggs with jalapeno sausage, and eggs over medium. If he's wanting lunch, he'll get a hot Corn Beef sandwich with a side of the Tomato Basil soup or their meat stacked Reuben sandwich. If you have a dog with you, there's a seating area outside where they will bring your pup a bowl of water. Support the local neighborhood restaurants and go check them out. (It's hot outside and their A.C. works great.) read more

This is my favorite place for breakfast in Plano! High quality delicious food and great service every time!

The place is amazingly delicious! I admit I was a little hesitant because nowadays a lot of places are awful due to being cheap and not caring but this place does a great job considering the times we live in right now Get the spaghetti for sure. I was very impressed. The noodles were perfect and it was hot on delivery with a very good flavor. Most of all it was packaged well and a great serving size for my son. The burger is another must and it was perfect in flavor, cooked to perfection, had nice pickles and tomato just as requested. Bun was nicely toasted. Not many fries and my kids wanted more and that's rare for them. They re-heated so well and they didn't salt them so we could salt to our liking. I tasted a couple too. I got the club sandwich and this was not great but I not docking points but it was really small and no fries came with it which is standard. I did like that it was a traditional club and toasted to perfection and it did taste yummy just really small which is weird. I guess their bread was reduced in traditional size so particularly not their fault. Two suggestions I wish they had a key lime pie and maybe a pie, cookie or cake of the day. Like a really good carrot cake or meringue pie. Maybe, do a Door dash exclusive where the fries come with the sandwich or something neat like that but I'm impressed. Best cafe style place in the area for sure. I want to order again. Also, maybe get a more protective bagging system for door dash delivery so you could staple a bag or something. I tasted everything, it was quality and well priced. Thank you Gus and take!! read more

I love to find a little hole in the wall. I was scrolling through Yelp and landed on some strawberry waffles. I made a plan to get over and have some breakfast. It was in my area and had a friend to meet me there. Ugh, my friend was late but that gave me an opportunity to sip some coffee and check out the vibe of the cafe. It was really relaxed and down home. I could tell by the interaction they have several regulars. They greet everyone so warmly and I really felt at home. The cafe bustled with customers the whole time I was there. The food came out quickly even during what I could notice was a busy time. I read my book and had strawberry waffles on my mind. I'm tapping my food and hunger pains started to hit me. Finally, my party made it and we ordered. My friend had GYRO AND EGGS Two eggs any style, gyro meat, cucumber sauce, pan fires and choice of bread. Served with homemade pan fries. I was going to order just the waffle and some breakfast sausage. The server suggested to get the breakfast plate which included half a waffle, 2 eggs and choice of breakfast meat. That's plenty for me. It was cost was cheaper. So much food and it was all amazing. We stayed a while happy and full as I sipped more coffee. We even got to see Gus come out and speak to the patrons. The only thing I would love them to make an adjustment is their venting system. We could literally get a lot of the smoke and frying smells from the kitchen . The air vent system probably with the leasing company should get that corrected for them. The cost to eat there is some economical. You can spend $20.00 or less and get your money's worth!!! read more

Online it says this restaurant is open till 3, but when you call on the phone, it says closes at 2. I knew I would not be able to arrive till after 2 so I called an hour in advance to double check the times and even though they do close at 2, she still insisted I came in, therefore I did. When I arrive around 1:50 she had made me feel bad saying they were already closed and people wanted to go home to their families for thanksgiving. This being totally understandable and the exact reason why I had called before the fact. She did then say she would make the burgers, but obviously I'm not going to want to inconvenience any other employees after shutting down. I have been here on a previous occasion and the food was delicious and the service is amazing. Not a place I would ever want to give lower than 5 stars too, but her lack of communication and assurance needed to be recognized on a review. read more

We're here at 06:24 Saturday morning. This place says it's open at 06:00. Even on their door. Nope. Lost 5 new customers.

I have eaten here before and it was delicious. I don't know if they've changed cooks or if it was just the day, but there were a couple issues with my meal this time. I ordered the pork chops and eggs with pan fries and a waffle. First and foremost, the pork chops were about the thickness of bacon, which I have never seen before. However the cook cooked those pork chops like they were regular size, so they ended up being basically jerky. I guess there's some fear with pork, but if you can't cook pork properly then you probably shouldn't have it on the menu. The waffle was not crispy and was lukewarm. That I asked to be reheated, which of course they did because they have fantastic service. It was basically the consistency of a pancake in crispness. I'm giving a second star because the eggs and pan fries were delicious, and the service is excellent. In case anyone at the restaurant is reading this, you can alleviate the cold waffles by serving hot syrup, just FYI. And whoever cooked your pork chops Saturday should not cook pork chops. read more

Located in a strip mall close to Sprouts. Came here on a Saturday morning for breakfast around 11:45 am because I read some good reviews, so thought I'd give it a try. No wait. Service was quick. Menu was a mix of diner and Greek foods. I ordered the #11 breakfast. My husband ordered the corned beef sandwich with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. I did not enjoy my food. I asked for it with no ham and instead to put onions and cheese. The scrambled eggs were too hard and kinda dry, and the cheese was not melted-just thrown on top of the eggs as an afterthought. My skillet potatoes (which are the best part of any good breakfast) were the worst part-hard and extra crunchy. So disappointed. The biscuit was soft though, but the gravy was a little too salty. I was a little irritated when we got the bill because I got charged extra for the onions and cheese. The waitress didn't tell me there would be an extra charge. So I ended up paying $11 for a plate of hard eggs and hard crunchy potatoes. My husband said he liked his corned beef sandwich and mashed potatoes and gravy. However, the sandwich was on the small side-they skimped on the meat. I would not come back here. If you do come here, I would not recommend any scrambled egg dishes or the skillet potatoes. And make sure to ask if you'll be charged extra for anything. read more

I've visited this spot twice so far, with some interval between the visits; for the cost, the food was poor on both instances: oily, salty but otherwise tasteless.

Finally we got back for a lunch on Sat. Along with a crowd of boys from youth soccer team. They were loud and hungry. We got the Sat lunch special of sandwich and lentil soup.
