Simple, delicious, and most importantly AFFORDABLE. There's a reason why Tex & Shirley's is packed every time we go for breakfast! The space is nice inside - it's large and they have an outdoor patio adequate for more seating during busy times and when the weather permits. Service is always lovely - both waitresses we have had recently have let us make modifications to our orders with a smile on their faces. The food is great! You can get a kids meal for under $5 which blows my mind - it's enough food to feed me easily. And their regular menu is still super affordable with classic breakfast options on their menu: pancakes, sausage, and eggs with a side of toast is just comfort food at its finest. We will continue to dine at Tex & Shirley's for a solid breakfast meal! read more

Decided to give this place another chance after my first visit didn't leave the best impression and I'm glad I did. The service was great, I tried a healthier option that actually hit, grits were cooked perfectly and the relaxed vibe (thanks to a slower day) made the experience even better. read more

I was told that they didn't do take out on weekends. My husband, who is dying and hardly eats was craving their scrambled egg, bacon, Potatoes. Just 1 egg, 3 slices of bacon, toast. I explained my situation and was give a horribly tough time, I had to beg and tell them my situation. Finally after talking to 2 people, the manager approved the take out. I got there and they had to do the small order again, a mistake was made on that order, really! I was upset, leaving my husband alone was not the best situation. While I had to wait, a large take out order was being paid. I don't know why I was given this crap, but for that small amount of food, I paid over $12.00. It can't have been personal. On the phone I was just another person begging for my dying husband. The wait person had the audacity to tell me to have a good day, that's after they knew my situation. I will never go there again. When I was told that They were having to start the very small order all over again, I was understandably upset and got no polite response, just attitude. read more

We went to Tex and Shirley's on a Saturday around 12 for a "brunch" and after waiting for 30 minutes we got a table that had been open the whole time. The service was not that great, our server checked on us once after we ordered (we sat down and ordered immediately because we knew what we wanted from waiting) . Inside had lots of seating and was clean. Food was okay at best. Hash browns tasted frozen and microwaved. Cappuccino was burnt tasting. Pancakes were the only thing that was good. Not worth waiting an hour and paying what we did. Will try somewhere else next time. read more

I've been here several times for breakfast. Food is always great as evidenced by the line on a Sunday morning. I always get the same thing, bacon and cheddar omelette with a side of pancakes. It doesn't look big, but it's stuffed with bacon. If you're into fresh squeezed orange juice this is the place. They squeeze on demand. Tip: Sunday is ALWAYS busy read more

Every time I'd look up best places in the triad area for breakfast, Tex & Shirley's always came up. After coming here for the first time, I see why! Everything here is five stars! From the food, atmosphere, to the service, it all gets a gold star! I got the pancakes, I want with bacon and eggs. The pancakes were awesome! So light and fluffy. It's definitely something that I would get again. I've been back a couple times since my initial visit, so it's definitely been added into the breakfast spot rotation list. Service was great and always made sure that we were taken care of, and the price point is it beatable for a good and delicious breakfast. read more

This is definitely going to be my favorite breakfast spot, now that I am back in Greensboro! I hadn't been to Tex & Shirleys in a while, so hadn't realized that they had moved. It's a great location with plenty of parking! I'd come here for the coffee alone! It was the best "diner" coffee that I've ever had! It was so good I bought a bag of beans to take home with me, it was $16. Menu offering was standard breakfast fare, and all of it was good! One of my nieces had the pancakes, and I tried her leftover one, and even cold, it was good! Makes me want to know the recipe; this pancake was that good! I've been so disappointed recently with other restaurant or even home made pancakes that I've made, but this pancake was super yummy! I ordered the "Build your Own" omelette with home fries, but next time I would definitely go with the pancakes. We came relatively early, so we were able to get a table for six quickly. When we left, the restaurant was getting super crowded! Service wise, we had an amazing server, who kept bringing us hot coffee, and was patient with all our requests. I regret I didn't get her name, but she was stellar, and answered our questions patiently about the history of the restaurant. The entire bill for a party of six was super reasonable, so considering price, service, food, and location, you really can't beat it! This is why it's a 5 star for me! read more

Tex & Shirley's is a staple brunch spot in the triad. I had never been to this location before so we stopped in recently. I ordered the breakfast combo with home fries and pancakes. This was a ton of food and everything was really good. The pancakes had the perfect fluffy consistency. The home fries had a nice flavor to them as well. The restaurant was busy because we came on a Sunday at lunch so we did have to wait a little bit. read more

Had a taste for pancakes, so I asked Siri where I could find good pancakes in Greensboro. She led me to Tex and Shirley's on Friendly Avenue. The pancakes were really really good. I love a good pancake and honestly, I don't think I've had one that good in a very long time. What was even better? I sat at the counter and met a regular customer name Don! He eats here every day he said because he loves the food and he only knows how to use his microwave! Raven at the counter was outstanding! She explained the entire menu to me, gave me her points of view and was very attentive. There was another young lady that was also taking orders, there with a long blonde ponytail who was not so helpful and a little edgy when I ask if she could put my order in for me. But with all the other wonderful experiences I had this morning. She's just a faded memory! I recommend Tex & Shirley's. read more

Delicious food and great service consistently! No complaints besides no free refills on the apple juice.

I remember the Tex and Shirley's when it was at Friendly's Shopping Center...the food was good and now...it is amazing! When we walked in the hostess was polite and gave us a 15-20 minute wait, first available. They take your phone number and you get an update text when your table is ready. I don't think we waited 5 minutes. We sat at the bar. I enjoyed that. You can get a great view of the restaurant. The place has a good vibe. I like the interior decor and I also like they have outdoor tables. Our waitress who was working behind the bar was busy. She was working! Watching her maneuver around the place was something to watch. She apologized for some of the wait in between her service, but you couldn't be annoyed because she was getting the job done! The freshly squeezed orange juice is delicious. The coffee is fresh. Every time I go out for breakfast I have the notion to try something new, but I always get the go to breakfast platter. The platter comes with a ton of food and it was soooooooo good. Eggs, 3 meats, grits or potatoes and toast or pancakes. The sausage had a great texture and fresh taste. The eggs were cooked just like I like them. The ham wasn't too salty...perfect! The bacon was delish. Ok...drum roll...my favorite thing I've had in a while...the cheesy grits! Perfection! Yum! My only complaint is that it didn't come in super large bowl lol It was apparent that my daughter loved her French toast because before I could finish putting butter on my toast, I looked over at her plate...gone. I had a puzzled look on my face because I thought it dropped or someone took her food. I asked her where is your food? Gone. I don't even think I got a good look at it. Whatever you put in those she loved it. The plate was clean. Not a crumb was left on her plate. This place is definitely being added to my heavy rotation. Yep, you should definitely go. read more

I came here fairly early on a Saturday morning and it wasn't busy (yet). From reading reviews, this restaurant has a long history in Greensboro and it looked interesting. Its in a good location and the decor is nice. Service was good. Since I arrived early, I had my pick of seats. Business did pick up as I was there longer. I had their Jalapeño omelette which is essentially a western omelette with jalapeños instead of green peppers. It was good. From reading other reviews, I understand that they mix in a little pancake batter with the egg in their omelette. It wasn't bad, but I prefer just the egg. The hash browns were just as I like them, done but not overly crispy. Coffee was good (a must have in my opinion for breakfast). I'd like to visit again and try something different. read more

Great service and delicious food!! There was a crowd but the wait was very short. We will definitely be back

Horrible service. The twin morons working the front can't figure out how not to insult customers patiently waiting at the bar - drinking coffee while staring at empty / clean tables everywhere - did I mention the bar was also empty? But we were asked to move? How about don't hire idiot teenagers when you want to run a business? Or train the monkeys you do hire- read more

I remember when it was at Friendly Shopping Crt. It was really good food with a welcoming atmosphere. This Tex & Shirley's today was in a old Ham's Restaurant that felt like a old bar scene struggling. They were out of grits, coffee epresso Luke warm, hard left over potatoes. Needless to say, I was happy years ago & today was it for me. Till next lifetime..I "SHALL' NOT RETURN.. read more

I have heard about the local legend that is Tex & Shirley's for some time now. I was never able to make it out to the old Friendly Center location, but I finally made it to their new location near 1618 West. That spot has changed hands so many times, I'm happy that a business is finally in there that has the following to make it profitable. When I randomly ran into two different friends of mine in line waiting to be seated, I knew I had made a great decision. We probably waited about 15-20 minutes to be seated but it was well worth it! Their menu includes basically any breakfast item you could want: benedicts, omelets, bowls, pancakes, etc. It was hard for me to whittle down all the choices. Eventually I decided to go for my typical choice of a benedict but opted for the less usual black bean benedict. I enjoyed the spiciness of the black bean patty but still kicked it up a notch with some Cholula. The home fries that came with it were good too! Plentiful and perfect for soaking up extra runny yolk from the exquisitely poached eggs. My friends and I also decided to split some pancakes. Again we had a hard time deciding so we just got a single pancake of 3 different flavors. We got peach, blueberry, and chocolate chip. My favorite was the blueberry because it was a little tart as opposed to being overly sweet. The peach was a close second with chocolate chip trailing not far behind. For whatever reason my benedict came out maybe 5 minutes after the rest of the food. Our waitress was so generous and comped the benedict for me. It was certainly not necessary but I did appreciate it! That level of customer service can be rare to find. Small things like that make it obvious why this business has been around so long. I look forward to returning and trying other items if I can find a parking spot! read more

Very good breakfast. A quick Yelp search and I found this place. I'm glad I did, great food, quick and friendly service, and good prices. We also didn't have a wait. This place checked all the boxes for me. It'll have to be on our rotation! read more

This quant little diner only had a 15-20 minute wait for 2 people on a busy Sunday morning. Everyone was pleasant from the hostess stand, to the server, to the patrons! Firstly, fresh squeezed orange juice from their juice squeezer machine, absolute yes, and I'm an apple juice girl. I ordered the Breakfast combo and 3 pancakes, don't judge! This breakfast was one of the best I've had in a long time. I do not know why I've lived in Greensboro this long and have never come here. The eggs were scrambled perfectly with cheese. The home fries were tender and well seasoned. The pancakes...well just look at them, every bit of fluffy and thick like a pancake should be. The espresso machine was down during my visit but that is just a happy excuse to come back. I loved every bit of my meal, and I am coming back, ABSOLUTELY! read more

Excellent little diner with remarkably efficient and friendly service. The waitress even accommodated our request for some coffee while we waited for our table to be ready. I ate the grits bowl. The food was well prepared, not greasy, and made of good quality ingredients. I appreciated the ample veggie options though they should offer a vegan option. The ambiance was family friendly. Would definitely go again. read more

Brunched here today!!! The food is phenomenal, easily rivals Scrambled! We had coffee which is a local brew, very well rounded bean flavor. Delicious! For brunch we tried the blueberry pancake- which literally melted in my mouth. Topped with blueberry compote. Absolutely loved these. I seriously could have eaten 10 more but I digress. We each ordered one of the Bowls. I had the mushroom and spinach and Justin had the sausage. You can order your egg how you prefer it but I highly recommend over medium! The yolk stirs in beautifully to the creamy cheesey grits. so delicious. They were extremely busy and I wish they had mimosas!! But other than that amazing and I'll be back for more!! read more

This Breakfast/Lunch place is located in a nice little spot that includes outside dining. I like the vibes inside, decorated for Christmas time with lights and Christmas trees! We got seated outside and although it was a but chilly there was heaters on each side of the outside patio. The wait for the food was longer than expected and the food was not the best of the best. The omelette was laid over a good amount of oil and didn't have a great taste of flavor. After adding some hot sauce it had a better taste! The pancakes were fluffy however they tasted mushy in the center made them hard to enjoy. The egg platter was delicious ! The country ham and the potatoes were my favorite. Both had a filling flavor and were seasoned well. I wouldn't come for breakfast again but I would like to try it out for lunch to see improvement in the taste and wait time. read more

I've been eating at Tex & Shirley's since they opened in Friendly Center. In fact, busing tables and washing dishes was my first job. The original location was an iconic breakfast place and popular for lunch and dinner as well. The move to the Lawndale location didn't have the same feel to me and I only visited a few times. The new location is terrific! It may have something to do with one iconic Greensboro restaurant moving into the space of another iconic Greensboro restaurant. They have retained the renovated interior of the previous two, or was it three, restaurants which is a modern rustic industrial look. More importantly, the food is definitely elevated from the tried and true original recipes. I had the jalapeño omelette which was fantastic! T&S (good thing Tex didn't marry an Anna) kept the three egg omelette made with a little pancake batter to make it fluffy. The ingredients seemed fresher and the flavors complimented each other while standing on their own. I especially loved the salsa on top of the omelette. My wife had the eggs Benedict and loved them. I tried some of her cheese grits that were excellent! Being a grits aficionado, these are as good as any I've ever had. My guess is Old Guilford stone ground grits with lots of cheese. T&S is a family-friendly restaurant and while breakfast is their thing, they do offer burgers and a few other lunch offerings. This IS the best breakfast place in Greensboro. I'm thrilled to see T&S back! read more

While it's quite small, the food and service are still great! Has always been worth the wait!
