Love this place. I go early and always get seated right away the food is always delicious and we have awesome service!

Came with my sister to get some breakfast. Had to get the strawberry Belgian waffle when I spied the picture in the menu. I added a side of bacon to accompany my waffle. My sister ordered the full side of French toast. The waffle and French toast came out great! Not too sweet and the bacon was nice crispy and thick, just the right amount! Coffee wasn't the best but I was very impressed overall with the meal. I will definitely return to eat here again! read more

Great breakfast/brunch/lunch. Homemade soups and pastry. Never disappoints. The owners are always there to make sure your happy

Love their desserts! And they remind remind you that you can eat that first! I do! :)

I would give them a 5/5 but the line was super long and due to the amount of people, the time to get our food was also a good time spent. I will say that the food was top notch, great quality and the staff was friendly amongst the chaos. We went during brunch time, so be prepared to go early or to wait a while. The inside of the restaurant was nice, just a little cramped. The food menu options are great! I couldn't decide what to get, I'll be back just at another time lol read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The food is delicious and the owners are always so friendly and welcoming. I usually get the veggie omelette with fruit and the zucchini muffin. There's a dessert- I don't know what it's called, but it's an apple rolled and baked in breading (comes with ice cream) and it is so amazingly delicious!! You've got to try it. If you want to feel like you're getting pampered with food at grandma's; check it out!! Their migas, French toast, pancakes, all desserts, well really everything is delectable! I'm ready for them to take over the second floor of this location!! read more

Amazing food & the most delicious banana caramel pie. I've been going to this restaurant since I was a young child (25+ years) & it's continued to be consistently great. Within the last 2 years, I've gone once to dine-in & 4-5 times to pick up a pie, & it's been SUPER full of dinners each time. Although it's a good thing for the owner(s) to have as many customers as they do, it's a bit inconvenient to be asked to wait for a table when dining in &/or to wait while they prepare or finish preparing my pickup order just because of the sheer volume of customers that seem to be dining at the restaurant - regardless of the day of the week or the time of day in which I've gone. In spite of this downside for the customer, I continue to patronize the restaurant in light of the wait time that undoubtedlwill be something to contend with because of how nice the staff is, how sweet the female owner (who is often working the floor and dealing with customers one-to-one), &, most importantly, how delicious the food & pie is from Sweet Temptations. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem in McAllen. The owner renders great customer service. Kudos for leading by example. The food was delicious. Outside seating is available with a nice city view. The waffle was delicious. Great texture. It was crunchy on the outside and very soft on the inside. The Migas is not spicy and the potatoes are cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this place. read more

Good for the price, convenient location in central McAllen; friend took me here, perfect brunch atmosphere.

This place sucked!!! ....At least for breakfast. The place was tiny! The tables and chairs were so close together you could barely pull your chair out and are forced to overhear everyone else's conversation which I rather not know about. The menu is not simple at all because you have to order everything separate. No egg with pancake platters, no french toast platters with egg and bacon. So, in order for you to get a filling breakfast your looking at $15+ per person and I'm not a big eater. Taste wise, I was kind of disappointed considering the amount of good reviews of this place. That's why we came here in the first place. Unless these reviews are just friends and family of the owners. Who knows, none the less, I may give this place another chance for lunch. 2 stars because the waiter did take care of us. Maybe this was a fuke but as for now it'll stay at 2 stars until I'm convinced otherwise. read more

Sweet Temptations gives me the feeling of being at home, a warm family owned restaurant that always delivers fresh & good food. The owner's are always there to greet you with a smile and the service is fast & friendly. You can't go wrong with one of their soups - tortilla is my favorite! A cup is a huge amount, spicy and full of flavor of the tomatoes and other vegetables. They've got a variety of salads, sandwiches and entrees. All of the dressings are homemade and if you are a lover of garlic like myself, you muuuust get the house - a garlic vinaigrette. If you are looking for a filling salad, I'd suggest the stuffed avocado (with tuna or chicken salad) on a bed of lettuce or a variety salad (pasta salad & chicken or tuna salad on a bed of lettuce). The chicken envueltos are their "healthier" version of enchiladas covered in this spicy sauce served with jalapeno mayonnaise. Don't forget to leave room for PIE!! They're known for the banana caramel and even when I'm super full, there's always a little bit of room for that homemade crust & creamy filling! Remember, they're only open for breakfast or lunch so don't plan on going for dinner! read more

The atmosphere walking into Sweet Temptations is warm and cozy from the quaint, country cottage decor to the friendly greeting as soon as we entered. This family owned business has a long, established reputation for quality food and service with many local followers leisurely enjoying breakfast today. Word of mouth brought us here today but the overall experience would bring me back. The menu is extensive for the size of the resturant serving breakfast, soups, sandwiches, quiche, salads and dinner plates. Everything is home-made with fresh, quality ingredients from breakfast to the insanely popular desserts. You can purchase desserts by the slice or whole pies and cakes and they cater as well. Apparently the summer, weekday mornings are often quite with very little wait time but not the case once school begins. Sounded perfect to us so we jumped on the opportunity and arrived around 7:30 am for breakfast. We were greeted with a big, geniue smile and seated quickly by our server with beverages following shortly afterwards. The coffee was very smooth, no bitterness with a robust flavor and the orange juice was incredible, sweet, screaming 100% fresh and all natural juice. The menu isn't the typical franchise menu with large platters or large assortment of foods per entree. My niece and I both ordered The Works Omelette served with option of potatoes or fresh fruit. She opted for potatoes and I selected the fresh fruit. The large, 3 egg omelette was stuffed with diced bacon, ham, sausage, fresh sautéed veggies then topped with our choice of, monterrey jack, cheese. The gorgeous presentation of FRESH fruit was so sweet and served with a small container of fruit dip. What an unexpected treat of sweetened, whipped cream cheese with cinnamon, powdered and brown sugar served along side of my fruit. Very nice touch! The omlette was delicious, very filling, affordable and I would highly recommend with the fruit. The service was excellent and our server truly enjoyed his job. I so wanted to try one of the many, many home-made desserts listed. Apple Dumplings, Better Than Sex Cake, Chocolate Cake to Millionaire Pie, honestly everything, looked and sounded incredible. I was told the show stopper here is the Caramel and Banana Pie!! If only I wasn't flying home tomorrow. If you're searching for desserts, a whole pie or cake, be sure to check out their website. From what I was hearing, you want be disappointed. read more

Love this place! Always a reliable choice...and for your sake try the chocolate cake!

Best Italian Cream Cake! Entire menu is excellent. Owners and staff are friendly and helpful.

Everything here is delicious! Have never had a bad experience the plates are great portion sizes full of flavor. Can't visit without leaving with a scrumptious dessert! I always forget to take pictures because I go in with one mission to enjoy a delicious meal. read more

This place is very popular but I personally dislike it. I've been here about 3 times, trying to give it a chance until I finally accepted it's not my kind of place. The food is quite average and some things just don't look fresh. It tends to be an overwhelming serving of carbs or other sugar-loaded or flour-made food. The space is small, crowded, and dirty-ish like an old establishment feels like. I finally had to tell my friends I DON'T like it, as they kept suggesting this place for brunch! read more

The food is always good, the burgers are outstanding and you can never go wrong with breakfast. Gotta try the zucchini muffins... The only thing I could complain about is that the service isn't always prompt... So if your in a hurry it's a 50/50 whether you'll be in and out quick... It is still a favorite of mine, and it's great to get away from the typical every day food establishments... I would always recommend -The fried chicken sandwich -any of the quiches - pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes - southern pecan coffee -burgers Happy eating!!! read more

Great service and friendly people. The migas was outstanding. The French toast was also very good.

I went to this venue for breakfast 3x in one week. I was getting dental work in Mexico and staying in McAllen Texas. I checked google and yelp for a place to sit, have fresh coffee and order breakfast instead of the American fast food egg McMuffin or some microwaved bacon or sausage and eggs. Here you get fresh eggs off the griddle. French toast just like homemade. Crispy bacon with eggs over easy if you want. They even have a stronger coffee for those who ask,. I enjoyed their foid and the conversation with the owners and staff. Really nice people.... I will visit again on my next trip to McAllennTexas. read more

This restaurant is excellent The food was delicious The pancakes ,French toast,chicken soup,potato soup were excellent The waiter was courteous Now the reason for 4 stars is that they charged a service charge or tip I personally do not like this especially because there were only 4 1/2 of us. While I do not mind restaurants charge the service charge when they are 6 in a group,but 4 -- no I do not like that I usually tip 18 percent So that is my reason for 4 stars I may come back to this restaurant but I would not discourage anyone to go. read more

Came in for a quick lunch and it didn't disappoint. Soup was hearty and delicious and the club sandwich was huge. I took half home so be mindful the portion sizes are large. Also got a creme pie to take home and share. We got the caramel, banana creme pie and I nearly creamed myself! j/k Anyway it's great little spot for a quick dine in. One thing I would mention is they could offer some more cheese options as mine came with American which just reminded me of Kraft singles. ‍ #notrealcheese read more

Fantastic locally owned spot that serves fresh food and provides great service.
