    Big stack with bacon
    Amber L.

    Tucked into a random parking lot in Spring is the most unassuming breakfast place we've seen to date. Appropriately named 'The Breakfast Place', the restaurant is serving up delicious, filling, and cheap food. We have come here quite a few times when visiting family and always go out of our way to stop by. The setting is quant and cozy and the service is downright fantastic. Every time you enter you are greeted with a big smile and beaming attitude that make you feel like you're a long lost family member or you just returned a wallet with a thousand bucks in it. The menu is pretty straightforward and standard with a few country breakfast options sprinkled in. We ordered pretty quick and got our food before we even had a chance to get hungry. We got the country fried steak with eggs, white toast and hash browns plus an order of the big stack pancakes with bacon. The pancakes are good, better than chain breakfast spots, and the bacon is good as well. The country fried steak was delicious, although a bit tough in a few spots with a delicious country gravy on top. The toast, hash browns, and eggs were also good. We've ordered a lot of other dishes from here in the past but don't have photos of them unfortunately, but they were certainly good enough to have us coming back. We ordered some coffee and in a testament to the service never made it past halfway drank, not once. Look, the food here is pretty good. We see a lot of reviews here ragging on the food and let's be very honest, if you're coming here looking to find out the reason why your 7th grade boyfriend dumped you, you're not gonna find it and you look pretty dumb for expecting to. This is a straight up mom and pop southern diner, a good one at that. The prices are cheap (or maybe we're just from Austin), the service is good, and the workers truly seem to care. For the value it offers, alongside the food and service, we highly recommend stopping by The Breakfast Place. Also, if you're complaining about egg prices (see reviews below) maybe read a book or turn on the news and see what's going on in the world.

    It's been a while since I've come here. I stopped as it was on my way back home from an appointment on that side of town. I forgot how great the home cooking food is here. I couldn't understand why you didn't have a better rating. Yes sometimes the weight is a little long but today it wasn't. I got the grits. I got the sausage biscuits and gravy and it didn't disappoint. The biscuits are so soft and I love white gravy and I'm very picky about it so again did not disappoint. Coffee is good here for those who are a coffee snob like myself. I actually had 2 cups. It's so funny because we can't ever remember the name of this place because we've always called it. The rooster place. When you see the giant rooster out front, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. I highly recommend it. It's a little cute country place tucked in the corner.

    I was in the area searching for a simple place to eat some good breakfast food and stumbled upon this place. Being fully transparent, I looked at the outside and it gave me that country, country feel so I had second thoughts, but hunger overrode my thought process and I stopped. Now before I walk towards and open the door, I am looking through the windows at a couple of patrons. I open the door a few people look at me, I look at them and they continue eating and conversating. At this time, I am at the hostess location and she comes from the back smiling and offered a very Texas Good Morning. I am seated at a table near the front window. I did not have anything to worry about, the other patrons seemed easy going and my server was energetic. Unfortunately, after I drank half my coffee and took two bites of food I had to leave for an unexpected appointment, but before going I told myself if the food tasted that good after two bites I need to order some more so in addition to my food being packaged I ordered another breakfast meal for the following day to save time. Breakfast was very satisfying for the next two mornings.

    The breakfast place is a small diner setting that stays busy. It's open from breakfast to brunch hours, is you like to sleep in but still want breakfast. The food to me was average, but it didn't blow me away as anything special. The bacon, eggs and toast were good. The hashbrowns were bland and very chopped up. I am a potato lover and that's the only thing I did not eat on my plate. They do offer a wide array of breakfast options. Would I wait for a spot just to eat here when it's busy? Probably not.

    Quaint breakfast spot that reminded me of home cooked meals and breakfast at Grandma's house! They provide a cute breakfast nook ambiance complete with rooster and diner decor! I love their build your own omelette plate because they had a good variety of options available to add. Their patty sausage was amazing and the hash browns hit the spot. I was also pleasantly surprised by the affordability of many dishes. Parking onsite - although parking might be more difficult on the weekends/early mornings. Do note that they close at 2pm! If you're looking to add a new go-to breakfast spot, this is the place!

    This place is a hidden gem! Just look for the GIANT ROOSTER in front! Despite the bustling atmosphere, it's clear why there's always a crowd. The popularity is a testament to their quality. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by an energetic vibe that sets the tone for a great experience. The food/service lives up to the hype. Love the pancakes and chicken fried steak...can't forget the grits!! Homemade comfort food :) While you might have to wait for a table, it's well worth it. The busy nature of the place ensures everything is fresh and the staff is on their toes. If you're looking for a lively spot that locals clearly love, this is it.

A tad shocked though, as to how pricey…read moreit all got in the end - essentially a drink (cocktail and beer)-sandwich - dessert meal for two costing $92, including tax and tip. Ordered Prickly Pear Mezcal margarita, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing light IPA beer, cup of Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Caprese Panini on Focaccia bread with Herbed Fries, West Coaster Panini (Ham, Avocado, Arugula) on Ciabatta bread with Herbed Fries, and a Coffee Fudgy Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream to go. Service was fantastic with our server (Will) being very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks and food arrived quickly and were fantastic - the drinks were on point, the food ample in quantity and flavorful in taste. The Fudgy Brownie was divine! Well-done! As I mention above, the final tally was a bit shocking. Otherwise, a great place to hang out; planning to return to avail of the Mon/Tue $25 Wine and Bruschetta Board special.

    [EDIT only to correct to "Postino"]…read more I use the one-stars sparingly, I really do. This has nothing to do with the food, as we never got that far in the course of my miserable experience at this location (not sure if it's a chain or not). Walked into a relatively quiet restaurant somewhat later in the evening after strolling a bit in the summer Houston heat around the Woodlands. A couple of people recommended Postino. The issue arose when I asked for a possible menu modification. Specifically, I was trying to avoid GOAT CHEESE on the meatball dish I had my eyes on (which otherwise looked pretty tempting). The server indicated that they probably couldn't do it but I nevertheless requested this... a couple of minutes later the server returned with the bad news. Apparently, it simply had to be served as-is, according to the menu. This in itself wouldn't have got me to the point of writing this review. However, I, incredulous, was kind of laughing (you have to laugh) and said something like "so I can only order exactly what's on the menu, and the kitchen can't do anything different?" (slight paraphrasing, perhaps). There wasn't much further conversation with the server but within about 30 seconds of this exchange, a "manager" stormed over to the table and borderline-abusively shouted "is there a problem?!". This "mini-manager" as I will refer to her, proceeded to inform me that they could NOT accommodate changes because it would "violate the integrity of the restaurant" ... I of course I also found a bit humorous, and in this state inquired further about what sense it made to be so obnoxiously strict for someone just trying to grab a quick bite about 30 minutes before closing. I'm sensitive to the work involved in running restaurants and serving obnoxious customers, but I was NOT rude, obnoxious, or difficult. Just blown away by this treatment. I was then informed by the mini-manager that she was from LONDON which I assume meant I should accept that her cosmopolitan background and (I assume vast and high-level culinary experience) meant that I should shut my trap and stop being so picky. At this point I was compelled to mention that I, too, grew up overseas and was very surprised at this complete lack of flexibility. Within another 30 seconds or so of this dialogue, the mini-manager tipped the menu over on the table and abruptly shouted, "you know what, I'm refusing you service!" That made it all easy from there as we promptly (while laughing, partly out of shock) exited the facility. Huge disappointment and embarrassing in my view for a restaurant that seems otherwise to have maintained a great reputation - and especially so for the fact that service (and people in general) in Houston tend to be kind and accommodating, not typically RUDE or reactionary. I'm encouraging this restaurant to have a look at the service model. I can't say I'll try Postino again the next time I'm in Houston, but I certainly hope it continues to truly earn its 4.5 star rating, 'cause they sure did NOT when I was there this weekend.

It wasn't bad, it just wasn't my preference. I would not get it again. The service at this location was poor today. Since it was pretty empty and all the staff members were surrounding the bar, I sat at the bar. The team was more engaged with their interactions between one another than checking on my party. Each request I made was unnecessarily delayed. When I requested a container which was within eyesight and reach of the staff, I watched the employee stop and check on 2 other guests and make them drinks BEFORE handing me the container. I asked a 2nd person behind the bar and they did a similar thing before passing a container to me. There were 4 people behind the bar and maybe 5 guests, but each time I needed assistance, I had to ask more than once. Also, I could see my food items sitting in the kitchen while the team was continually chatting in the bar. This is my 3rd time at this location, and it will be my last. Although I like some of the menu items, the service today has depleted my tolerance for this location.
