    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.

    Sausage egg and cheese burrito with hash browns.

    The staff were very attentive and helpful. They had knowledge of there menu down to a science. The place was like a true southern brunch home cooking restaurant. We walked in with a large group and we're greeted immediately with a smile and pleasant conversation. My table got 2 steak breakfasts, one big stack of pancakes and I got a sausage egg and cheese burrito with hash browns. It was all delicious.

    Side of hash browns
    Charlene D.

    Ordered pancakes, bacon, and a side of hash browns to go. The server was friendly but got an uncomfortable stare from most patrons as I walked in. The food was cold and wasn't very good. I found the pancakes to be a bit gummy and the hash browns completely free of seasoning. The price point was well over $20 for the meal. I won't return.

    Eggs Benedict
    Tony R.

    My wife and I came here for breakfast one day. Been wanting to try them for a while. They were busy, a good sign. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict with avocado and I ordered the Philly, hold the onions and peppers. Both were prepared well and were delicious, although my wife would prefer the hash browns crispier ( I agree ). Overall a good experience, we will be back.

Breakfast cost us about $10 less than when we go to other chain places. When you have the choice of hashbrowns or country potatoes, get the country potatoes. They're cheesy and delicious. My scrambled eggs were not overworked. I hate that. Fluffy and delicious just like the pancakes. The cooks know what they're doing and the wait staff is very nice. The only complaint that I can come up with is I'm not a big fan of added sugar to my pancakes. But I know people love their sweet stuff. We'll be back.

    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.

It's cleaner, nicer, and feels more welcoming as soon as you walk in. The atmosphere alone makes it a much more enjoyable place to eat. The service was also a big improvement. The staff here were friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. It felt like they actually cared about the customers and wanted you to have a good experience. What surprised me the most was the food. It's the exact same menu as the original location, but somehow it tasted better here. Everything came out fresh, hot, and really well prepared. I'll be honest, I had a pretty bad experience at the original location before, which made me hesitant to try this one. But I'm really glad I did because it completely changed my opinion. At this point, I may never go back to the original location again--but I will definitely be coming back to this one. Highly recommend giving this location a try.

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!

What I eventually found both surprised and delighted me, and Nate's gets a thumbs up overall. Pictures are deceiving as I thought the place would be larger but it's a tight fit for bigger groups. There are only a handful of tables but plenty of character. It's also a bit grimey, unsightly and even a tinge dodgey, which may be a deal breaker for others but is an immediate appeal to me. Two things immediately standout when it comes to the food: the portions and the prices are outstanding. The offerings are as no frills as the rest of the establishment. The other surprise was how much influence there was from Mexican cuisine. Hash browns were the goal, but chorizo and chilaquiles were the bonus. Another surprise? The hash browns weren't as crispy as I would have wanted. It's entirely plausible that I came on an off day, which happens. However everything else was on point as my chorizo skillet was absolutely dynamite, pancakes were fluffy and indulgent, breakfast tacos were outstanding, and my eggs were perfectly softly scrambled. Even the bacon and sausage patties were delicious, which is a tall order considering it's not likely made in house. Lastly, as someone who drinks cold water like it's a hobby (#1), I'm especially grateful for the massive 32 oz cup of water, which is perfect for someone who drinks like a camel. The staff is not the quickest but they are friendly. Spanish may go further with most and they're not the quickest when it comes to greeting folks or cleaning tables. The food is the star and consider paying in cash. ____________ (#1) I'm thirsty.

At least not enjoy spending it. But with prices these days getting way out of hand what can you do. I got the rattlesnake because I saw it touted as their award winning burger. Not sure from where the award came. But this and their trash can tacos had the emblem next to it. You also get a veggie pack with your to-go burger which has chopped lettuce, pickles, raw onions and 2 slices of tomatoes. That's nice so you don't have to put on the required latex gloves to use their veggie bar to get these yourselves. It's in a separate bag. I thought this was the buger at first and was secretly getting a bit concerned when I saw the cook toss it onto the counter like a bean bag. The cashier was super nice. He offered me water as I waited. They had another guy working in the back cooking the food. You also get a thimble of ketchup in your Togo bag along with a packet of mustard and mayo. The bun was a little burnt. And I couldn't taste any of the mixed in jalapeños. Also I kinda wish they had whole lettuce rather than chopped just because it kept falling out of the burger. But other than these issues the burger was pretty tasty. Definitely not a McDonald's burger like one person posted. But also not the best burger ever as many other posters swear by. Definitely glad I went. But don't know if I'd be willing to spend another $20 on one of their Burgers either. They're closed on Sundays according to Google maps which is old school nice to see.
