    Apple wood chicken sausage
    Chris L.

    What a nice find! A bit out of the way located in the far West side of town on HWY 6 but worth the drive or if you are near the area and haven't tried it do yourself a favor and give it a shot. The food and service are great. The layout and ambiance gives small town diner and the food is from scratch. The owner / chef came around multiple times to check on us and surrounding tables. It was clear they had their regulars which is a good sign. It may be a bit too far for us to be regulars but we will definitely be coming back to this place from time to time.

    It's a fairly small place and packed for breakfast. Best creps I've ever had - the ends were a bit crispy and really just accented the rest of the great taste and texture. You can probably split them if you wanted, but I decided to devour them. The apple maple bacon was honestly a bit disappointing. Perhaps I was expecting more, but to me it wasn't any better than "normal bacon" Food did take awhile to get. We did have 7 at our table. Service was effective and efficient. It was fairly loud give how small and crowded it was. I do recommend.

    Located across the street from west oaks in the parking lot near bestbuy is this gem. I attended on a Saturday morning and the place had a decent amount of patrons. The severance very attentive and speedy in their service. It seems to be run like a family restaurant and everyone seems happy to be there. The food was a 10 and the cook even came out to assure everyone was pleased. This is a must return when in the SW.

    I came for brunch with my cousins. It was very nice and the staffs were very friendly, we even got visited by either the chef or owner who asked if everything was good. I got the country breakfast (12.99$) and cappuccino (6.50$). The left is becado and the other 2 is Houston breakfast. It was nice brunch and great portions.

    I was looking for a quick breakfast so as always Yelp to my rescue. The reviews were mixed but the star rating seemed high enough, so I stopped in. I came here for the first time on a Sunday midday with 2 others. Showed up with no resy. There was a wait list on the counter top at the front with one name on it already for a group of 6. No one was at the hostess counter. Staff were busy bussin tables, nobody even looked up. The table of 6 was waiting at the entrance with us. But after we put our name on the list, some older gentlemen with a British accent got up from his table and told us to come and sit down. We told him we were waiting to be seated, but he insisted and sort of pushed us gently towards to the table, so we obliged. We asked if he worked there and he said "something like that". I don't know if he was the owner or just a long standing customer. But he was kind to give up his table for strangers. The place is quaint. It was busy with large groups, one of them was at least a 10+ table. And for that, I can understand the not so great service. Service- was rocky. Mostly looked like a 20 year old staff. Which I have no issue with for the record. I'm not ageist. Plus a couple of older gentlemen in the small kitchen in the back. The staff definitely seemed like they were in the weeds, zipping all over the place, but no one seemed in charge or expediting or managing the floor? Everyone looked like they were scrambling to deliver food to tables. It took us a while to get the table cleaned, then the menus, and even longer to get food. Which the food order did come out a bit mixed up. Our server told us immediately when we first sat down that she just started working there and was brand new. And had not had much of the food. And that's ok, everyone is new at something at some point. But the issuss came with us having to ask multi times to multi staff to get utensils, coffee, missing items from our order. Then the wrong food came out. Plus we never got offered water, and the food wasn't hot. Food- I ordered the Houston Breakfast, comes with egg, protein, and a carb. I went with sunny side up eggs, turkey sausage, and single pancake. At least I thought it was turkey sausage, but to be honest I don't know if it was regular sausage. I guess it automatically comes with hashbrowns? Food was fine, I've had better diner food. The only silver lining of the meal, they did not charge us for our coffee just the food. I don't know if that was just an error on there part on the receipt or there normal restaurant practice. So maybe it all just evened out in the end?

    We were visiting Houston again and were looking for a good place for some yummy breakfast/brunch, and stumbled across London Cafe. I think we got lucky too as such places ....at least where we are from....are always packed, with long lines out the door, and long waiting lists. However, we seemed to have come at a good time as the place was not crowded at all, with no wait. The place is a good sized restaurant, with very spacious interior with high ceilings, has a simple yet pleasant decor, and has a nice and relaxing vibe to it. Service was so nice, down to earth, friendly, and polite....and the owner even took the time out fo the kitchen to stop by to say hi and to check up on us. We later learned that this is a family owned and run business. Their menu is long and extensive, and yes, you will have trouble choosing what yummy dish to order. After reading through the menu completely, we went ahead and ordered the Chicken & Waffles with gravy on the side, the London benedict with a fruit cup on the side (fyi, my order), and the Houston Breakfast with scramble eggs, bacon, and link sausage.....all the breakfasts came with their hasbrown potatoes that were tossed with what I can best describe homestyle potatoes....and instead of toast, a single pancake was requested. All the condiments you could ever need or want is available on the table, and you can make everything taste just the way you like it. Ingredients were all so fresh, food was all prepared and served hot off the griddle, and in such generaous portions....and came out real quick too. Everybody enjoyed their breakfasts very much.....and were quite stuffed by the end of it all. Excellent, friendly, and attentive service, pleasant and quiet ambiance (at least when we were there), and very good food. My mother said that she liked this place so much that she was going to bring her friends here too! As for me.....I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

    Corn-beef ash breakfast.

    Wow what a great find. This little cafe is tucked away in a busy shopping center and is a must go to. Locally owned small businesses are always a pleasant surprise. We stopped in for breakfast this morning, and I was surprised about the meal. It was great.! We ordered the Houston breakfast plate and the corned beef hash with eggs. Although the corn beef hash straight out of a can, they added the unique touch of putting cheese in it, the potatoes that came with the meal were the star of the corn beef hash meal and great taste. Overall, we enjoyed the meals that we ordered. The owner is very friendly and comes up to you and ask you if everything is all right. This little café is a must visit, if you are in the local area. As always support your local small businesses first.

    Houston Breakfast
    Suelynn N.

    My friend and I went here for breakfast and a Monday morning. I want something small so I went with the Houston breakfast and had one pancake with it. The pancake was really good. It had a nice edge crisp to it, but it softened if you leave it alone overtime. The potatoes are both hashed and chunk up. The chicken apple sausages and eggs were typical. If you want more flavor or salt, there are a small tray of sauces on your table. The owner was very sweet and checked on us to make sure that we were doing well . The place is very clean and there are a lot of plant related decorations around the room. Parking is free and out front.

    Breakfast Plates

    Food was amazing! The flavors were incredible, every bite tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the bacon had just the right crisp, and the pancakes were fluffy clouds of perfection. Let's not forget about the staff, they were quick and friendly!

    Houston Breakfast
    Xoxi M.

    I love finding places like these. Holes in the wall, locally owned businesses, with great food and great service. It is a family owned and operated business. It's great to see families work together and businesses like these around. Food was great, fast, and fresh. Out ranks any chain brunch place. Will be back. Also, loved the variety of selections.

    London Cafe is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The café has a cozy, classic vibe that perfectly matches its name, making it a great place to relax, catch up with friends, or enjoy a quiet meal. The food is consistently delicious and well prepared, with generous portions and great attention to flavor. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or just coffee, everything tastes fresh and satisfying. The drinks are just as impressive--rich, smooth, and made with care. What really sets London Cafe apart is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, which makes the whole experience even better. You never feel rushed, and they make sure you're taken care of. Overall, London Cafe is a fantastic spot with great food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. It's definitely a place you'll want to come back to again and again.

    BLTA & fries
    Susan H.

    This is one place that I had been looking forward to try and it fell a little short. The hours on here need to be updated & I did communicate to the manager who was extremely nice. I opted for the BLTA & French fries. The bacon was too tough and sandwiched didn't hold together very well. The fries tasted like it was time for oil to be changed. What was not the best experience was when the server came to take my order and brought the food, he smelled like he had just finished his cigarette breaks. Lol I will try to make my way there again and see how that goes.

    Veggie Omelet
    Sandy C.

    Again, the food and prices for the amount are Amazing! The Chef/owner loves to come out and greet his customers. He hugs if allowed when they rave about his food. He is a very nice and humble guy. I definitely will come again when around this side of town. The place is clean and great ambiance. I am not from London. But, since it has London. I would have more decorations that shows that. But, what matters is the great service, and Yummy food.

For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

What I eventually found both surprised and delighted me, and Nate's gets a thumbs up overall. Pictures are deceiving as I thought the place would be larger but it's a tight fit for bigger groups. There are only a handful of tables but plenty of character. It's also a bit grimey, unsightly and even a tinge dodgey, which may be a deal breaker for others but is an immediate appeal to me. Two things immediately standout when it comes to the food: the portions and the prices are outstanding. The offerings are as no frills as the rest of the establishment. The other surprise was how much influence there was from Mexican cuisine. Hash browns were the goal, but chorizo and chilaquiles were the bonus. Another surprise? The hash browns weren't as crispy as I would have wanted. It's entirely plausible that I came on an off day, which happens. However everything else was on point as my chorizo skillet was absolutely dynamite, pancakes were fluffy and indulgent, breakfast tacos were outstanding, and my eggs were perfectly softly scrambled. Even the bacon and sausage patties were delicious, which is a tall order considering it's not likely made in house. Lastly, as someone who drinks cold water like it's a hobby (#1), I'm especially grateful for the massive 32 oz cup of water, which is perfect for someone who drinks like a camel. The staff is not the quickest but they are friendly. Spanish may go further with most and they're not the quickest when it comes to greeting folks or cleaning tables. The food is the star and consider paying in cash. ____________ (#1) I'm thirsty.

I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food.

He asked her what she needed, she told him to use the restroom, he then asked if she needed a table. When she replied "no", he stated that restrooms are for paying customers only. She was embarrassed, froze, said "Okay", and walked towards the exit. The guy saw my sister and I watching this unfold with screwfaces, so he tells the woman at the exit "Well go ahead and use it, you're already in here, I guess". While she was in the restroom he made a sign about their restroom stance and was taping it to the front door as the woman was exiting the building. We left immediately also. A business has the right to have such a ridiculous regulation, but this woman was dressed clean and came from a Lexus SUV. She wasn't homeless or some street prostitute that might be reckless in a public restroom. The idiot guy was petty, rude, inconsiderate, cold, and careless. I refuse to spend money at an establishment run by such a person.

We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
