When you walk in the first thing that grand you is the aroma. The kitchen immediately behind the counter. Coffee that doesn't taste like the typical stuff at other places. The menu is extensive but laid out perfectly. Yes at first it seems a tad convoluted, but as you peruse it shows you all the amazing options it has to offer. My wife and I travel across the Southern and Western States. This quaint little hot spot is by far one of my favorites. Come to a Mesquite, Texas and eat here at the Mesquite Diner.

There was no soap in the bathroom. In fact it looked like there hasn't been soap for a while, it was SO dry. So I just am left to wonder if they wash their hands regularly. Not only that, but the stall I used in the woman's restroom didn't lock. Plus the place just looked nasty. With so many other options in Mesquite to eat breakfast, I would go somewhere else.

SHOUT-OUT TO KRYSTAL!…read more My sister-in-law celebrated her 60th birthday today with a surprise party, and we had about 40 family members attend! We all arrived between 12:30-12:45, and the party started at 1:00. I have to take a moment to give credit where credit is SERIOUSLY due! Our waitress, Krystal, was absolutely AMAZING. And when I say she was doing EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING! She was the only person serving us, while also having two other tables outside of our banquet room. Yes, our food took a while to come out -- but that was absolutely NOT Krystal's fault. She was working her butt off and doing everything she possibly could. She was attentive, constantly checking on our drinks, making sure everyone was taken care of, and paying attention to every little detail. It wasn't until toward the end of the party that I realized she had been handling this entire situation ALL BY HERSELF. She told me that the banquet hadn't even been put on the manager's calendar, so she basically got thrown into a party of 40 people at the last minute. And let me tell you something, KRYSTAL ROCKED THAT SH*T! Krystal, thank you so much for everything you did for my family today. You were kind, attentive, professional, and you never made us feel like we were a burden, even though you had been handed one hell of a situation. I personally hate Red Lobster and I don't even eat seafood, BUT my family will absolutely be coming back -- and I hope they come back specifically to see YOU! You did an incredible job, and I hope your management knows how valuable you are. KRYSTAL, YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you for taking such great care of my family today! YAY KRYSTAL! YOU GO GIRL! Someone give this woman the recognition she deserves!

Our waitress greeted us as she was busy running around but still said good morning and that she would be with us soon. When she came back she brought waters for us and took our drink order. Our food was excellent!! We ate every single bite. We ordered the chicken fried chicken and I ordered some eggs, a bagel, sausage, and hashbrowns. We are very pleased with the speed of the service as well as the quality of the food! The cooks do a great job! And the waiters I can tell work very hard to take care of customers and the bus boys are also hustling to clear tables as fast as possible. It was all so great! I feel bad we forgot the name of our waitress but she was excellent! She was very attentive and I noticed she was talking to other customers as well and making them smile :) we will definitely be back here again in the near future!

It was my first time in for brunch and there was a line but was able to get a spot at the bar and…read moreavoid the wait. The place is nice inside with a lot of tables and a full bar for cocktails. There were not many options for cold coffee and the bartender attempted to make an iced americano which wasn't great and forgot to bring any type of sweetener for it. I ordered the chicken fried steak with hash browns and two over easy eggs. The chicken fried steak needed more seasoning for me but it did have a tang to it. Not sure if it's from the marinade but the tangy flavor was there. The hash browns were nice and crispy and eggs cooked perfectly. What saved the chicken fried steak was the bottle of hot sauce they had at the bar. It was not labeled so hard to tell what exactly it was but it was delicious. We also ordered biscuits and a side of gravy and I felt like that should be on the menu as a dish. The biscuits were nice and soft and the gravy had a lot of flavor. I'd definitely like to come back and try some of the sweeter options such as waffles or pancakes. If you are in the Rockwall area check this place out

Well, talk about a hidden gem. I had this place bookmarked but could not tell you where I heard…read moreabout it. It is basically a little luncheon oasis dropped right in the middle of a gigantic industrial park. On the drive over I was seriously questioning my Yelp choices. It is that kind of location. But trust Yelp and sometimes you are handily rewarded, which we absolutely were. We came after a few hours strolling around at the Botanical Gardens, so we rolled in around 1:30 and there were still plenty of people there. I can only imagine at noon this place is packed, and honestly it should be. My biggest complaint is the menus. There is one above the counter that does not include everything, and then a different, more complete version if you scan the QR code at the table (But 2 different navigations even on the website with slightly different menus). Do yourself a favor and look it up ahead of time so you are not standing there making panic decisions. There is a half sandwich and half soup combo (Not on the board but online menu), which is definitely the move. I got the pozole, which you should absolutely order, and a half grilled cheese on their housemate sourdough. Normally not my go to, but I was trying not to be completely stuffed since we had dinner plans. And they bake their own sourdough, so I had a strong feeling it would be great, and it delivered. Toasty and melty, American and cheddar. My husband got the southwestern wrap, and my friend went with the half club and half tomato soup. She immediately regretted not getting the pozole and the half birria sandwich, which tells you everything you need to know. Also need to mention the snickerdoodle. Not much to look at, kind of humble, but it completely makes up for it with flavor and that perfect soft texture. Go ahead and get the cookie. You are not here to make responsible decisions. Bottom line, it may feel like you are driving into the middle of nowhere, but keep going. This place is worth it.

We ended up here after stopping by Well Grounded Coffee Co. right down the road. I can't speak to…read morethe food there, but upon entering that location (Well Grounded), there was a strong and overwhelming malodorous scent giving off vibes of cigarettes mixed with sewage, so we promptly left and came to Ascension! Ah much much better! Ascension Coffee, in contrast, smelled pleasant and was quite clean. Our server was helpful and friendly, though we did have to indicate / flag him over to bring the check. The table seating was pretty close together/ not the most private feeling. At a table spaced next to us, a couple was having a first date and we could hear most every word without intending to just with how close the seats are, but that proved to be sort of sweet and charming. It didn't really bother us, though it was distracting from the study we were trying to do together. We ordered drinks. My tea (flirt tea) had a strong, full, unique flavor I enjoyed a lot. The mug had a striking with the geometric aesthetic, though for some reason I found every time I drank it dribbled onto the table some with the angles; still can't figure why. The art in Asenscion was very distinctive, likewise angular, and fun to take in too. It wouldn't be my first choice for coffee shops simply due to the layout; I prefer a bit more privacy when I'm seeking a coffee shop, however the service and drinks we got were really wonderful! It also was SO much of a better option for hang places than Well Grounded just from the smell factor alone. If it wasn't so oppressively hot in July when we visited, the outdoor seating looked amazing / perfect! Last minor quibble, our table was uneven/ wobbly, as were the ones next to us. This was only noticeable as we were working on a book study.

I'm writing to share my disappointment with our experience today on Valentine's Day. My husband and…read moreI arrived at 12:04 PM and were placed on the wait list. We were told the wait would be about 40 minutes, but we were seated approximately 50 minutes later. After being seated, we waited several minutes before anyone came to our table. When our waiter finally arrived to take our drink order, he seemed impatient and rude when we were still deciding. He then turned away from us and took the order of another couple seated nearby before finishing with us. About 15 minutes later, we finally received our drinks as well as 3 other tables. After waiting a 30 more minutes with no communication or update, we decided to leave. The other tables near us received their meals except us and there was no communication from the waiter. We understand that holidays can be busy and that staffing challenges can happen. However, the lack of communication, long delays, and the waiter's dismissive behavior made the experience especially disappointing -- particularly after spending nearly two hours waiting while hungry on Valentine's. I hope someone can look into what happened and help ensure better communication and service for future guests. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

The migas part of my plate was delicious(price on menu to add meat to the item was less than the what was charged on the receipt). The breakfast potatoes for 2 of us that ordered them were DRY, over seasoned, and COLD. Obviously it was brunch being served but the potatoes were not fresh. Not pictured was a hamburger with sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were overly salty, but they gladly made a fresh batch with no salt. This was our 3rd time here and probably our last. The first 2 times were amazing but now not worth the time to drive here or the $ for less than stellar food and service. There was nobody at the hostess station and several separate groups of people left after not being seated. Our bill was $74-ish for 4 meals. Pepperoni pizza was not worth the $17 and was not tasty. We had 3 waters and 1 iced tea.
