The Breakfast Place

Updating my review!…read more My mom, husband, and I went this morning for breakfast and to start off the place wasn't as packed we found a booth pretty quick. It did take a while for anyone to attend us, I had to ask someone for menus and to take our drinks. My mom ordered the chicken fried steak and the waiter seemed a bit confused on what the menu said. My mom was confused too because on the menu it had two of the same name items with different prices. Anyway he took her order and he put in for the " country fried steak" as he called it and she also asked for the gravy on the side. My husband and I ordered waffles combo plates and my husband asked for a side of bacon. When the food arrived the gravy was on my mom's food when she asked for it on the side and she asked to get it replaced. She got it back and once she started cutting it it's was actually chicken fried chicken. She didn't want to ask to take it back so she just ate it. The good thing is she said her meal was delicious even though she didn't get exactly what she wanted. She also very much enjoyed the coffee. When it came to my mine and my husbands meal the sausage on his plate looked pale as if it was left on the grilled for one minute each side so we asked if it could be slightly more cooked and we're super grateful that the waiter took it back and brought crisper sausage linked on our plate. Now the only other disappointment from my husband's meal is that he never got his extra bacon instead he was brought extra sausage links. We didn't want to send it back either so we just kept it and he ate that. Overall all the food was amazing just wish everything was given to us the way we ordered it in the beginning. I would still go back and eat there.

Flew to Houston on Christmas Day and arrived early morning. After checking into our hotel, we were…read moreready for a late breakfast-of course most restaurants were closed but we found this diner that was about a 30 minute drive from the Med Center. We arrived around 11 and they were semi busy. Smaller spot in a mini strip mall with booth/counter/regular seating and black/white square flooring. Daily specials (M-F) are atavailable. We all ordered Omelettes with chocolate chip and plain pancakes to share. My Avocado Omelette (swapped Chorizo for shrimp-yes!) was delicious. And filled with slightly spicy Chorizo, mushroom, onions to name a few. The Meat Lover and Chicken Fajita were also tasty. Stuffed and generous portions. Pancakes were the perfect compliment and were also delicious! Our server and the entire staff were engaged and upbeat despite working on a Holiday. They were closing at 1 so we made it just in time. Make a stop at this Gem for some Diner deliciousness!

We were looking for a diner or local café with good food and, given its rating on Yelp, we decided…read moreto try this place. The menu options are huge in this diner and I really wasn't sure quite what to expect. Good news was our welcoming waitress named Candyce who was very friendly, answered questions and made suggestions. Mr. Picky has a sweet tooth and wanted to order just pancakes, but I bullied him into ordering one of their FIT omelettes (shrimp and avocado) and then they very kindly substituted two pancakes for the side of fruit. I was eyeballing the Reuben on the menu and when I asked the waitress to name her favorites, that was one of them and so I went ahead and ordered it with fried zucchini and onion rings. The latter two fried things we both liked, the Reuben was just average, but the omelette was loaded with mushrooms and onions which helped make it taste good (the kitchen did a good job on that omelette to put lots of stuff on it and send it to the table looking substantial and tasty). As they close at 3 PM, they don't have desserts at this particular location, and so we shared the Strawberry cheesecake pancakes to finish the meal. Overall, this is not a "4.7" level restaurant but that was on only 12 reviews. I might stop in again if I was running down Kuykendahl and needed a quick bite, but the good news was the price. We got all that food for $39.20 plus tip, a really great deal, and our waitress was great!

It's noted on the menu that is must be served medium rare, no exceptions - that's my preferred temperature anyway, so it was perfect for me. It was indeed juicy and tender. The cajun fries were a nice pairing. We enjoyed our experience overall. Was it a top notch, amazing burger? I wouldn't go that far, but it did its job and I'm happy we came and tried it out.

The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and breakfast is served all day. The service has been fast and genuinely friendly on every visit without ever feeling intrusive or bothersome. Compadres has the comfortable, homey feeling you hope to find in a locally owned Texas café. Their sweet tea deserves its own five-star review.

A server came over quickly, the service was good, and my sweet tea was consistently refilled. The food was affordable as well, although I did notice some pricing discrepancies between the online menu and the actual menu. I came here based on the online pricing, so I was a little surprised. For example, the three-item breakfast burrito is listed at $6.99 online but is actually $7.99 in person. The chicken fried chicken is listed at $12.99 online, while the in-person menu lists it at $14.99 for a small and $17.99 for a large. I also noticed that the online menu says three eggs are included with the chicken fried chicken, but I didn't receive them. I'd recommend updating the online menu so customers aren't confused. That said, I still had a great experience! The chicken fried chicken was excellent, especially with the mashed potatoes and jalapeño gravy. The burrito was a little greasier than I prefer, but it was still good. I also noticed they sell pies and cookies, so I'll definitely have to come back and try those!

Let me explain... 1) we arrived prior to 10:30, but didn't get helped until after. When trying to order breakfast - we were rudely told that it was over. Fair enough - we were here though, and there was nothing displayed sharing that info nor the time. 2) for three kids and myself - it was nearly $80 and we didn't order the most expensive items. If I'm being honest - the food left much to be questioned. My sons asked for their burgers to be well done and came out medium at best. When my dessert came out (a slice of carrot cake), it toppled over on the plate and the server/host (a younger male) went to grab it with his bare hands. When I said please don't touch my food - he caught a bit of an attitude and huffed. 3) there was only one family there besides us and the dining area was far from clean. There were a couple of tables with dishes remaining on them (that were prime plane-viewing spots, but weren't available to use because of) no sense. As many times as I've been through Hooks - I'd not ever patronized Aviator's. So, as a first-time visitor, I expected more and better. Unfortunately, my children and I didn't experience what others have and as such - not sure we will return. I nor my kids didn't find it worth the cost of the meal - regardless of how cool or great the viewing experience was.

Upon first glance of the interior, it looks like this space used to be a bar or something with a huge bar area in the middle of the space off to the right side. There are many circular cut outs in the ceiling where huge room fans are installed. They make all their dressings homemade, and hand bread many of their fried items like mushrooms, onion rings and stuffed jalapeños. They have salads, burgers, and 12 different comfort food entrees. They also have a daily special menu that spotlights a couple items of the day and their coffees, soups and dessert. They are a beer and wine restaurant. One unique item they have on the menu is a fork and knife hot dog which costs $13. Wow, this better be one awesome hot dog. The day I visited, they had a party for about 30 senior citizens that were celebrating a birthday. Normally that many customers in a single group would make a restaurant pretty loud, but it was actually extremely quiet in the restaurant. Every good restaurant does something slightly different to set them apart. Here at dinner, they give you a dinner roll slathered in melted honey butter and rosemary. The roll itself seemed to be made from frozen dough, but the tasty butter made it edible. I ordered the chicken club and kept the fries as my side. As far as presentation, I'd give it a C. The fries are frozen breaded fries. The sandwich tasted better than it looked thankfully. Service was good throughout my time here. Overall, the meal was good enough and I will be coming back to try other options.
