    Texas shaped waffle.
    Stacey G.

    The layout of ordering is so odd. No sort of line just standing between tables waiting for a cashier. Not super organized. Food was just fine. Nothing amazing, but nothing bad. Waffle I could have gotten at a hotel breakfast was disappointing. But coffee was nice.

    Whether it's for a quick breakfast or a casual lunch, The Buffalo Grille is definitely a local haunt for the neighborhood. The format is simple: order at the counter, find a table, fetch your own water and condiments and eventually someone will call out your name to pick up the food. It's a sizeable spot with plenty of seating and some limited outdoor seating as well. It might feel like a senior citizen's hour sometimes (#1) and it's very family oriented. There's never an issue with the parking and the bathrooms are also decent. Occasionally there are lines during the weekend, but I've managed to come here line-free most of the time. The menu is a solid variety of American brunch favorites, along with a touch of Mexican breakfast and some sandwiches, salads, and soups. The food isn't glamorous by any stretch but some things worth noting: * Buffalo burger is a thin "buffalo meat" patty that feels no different than a regular patty. Not worth it. * Their hashbrowns are super crispy and I wish the portion was a bit more. * Huevos rancheros and huevos con papa are not mind blowing, but the I do love the sausage patties. No thanks on the migas with those excessive onions. * When in doubt, go with an omelette. They're hearty, affordable, and stuffed quite nicely. I love the counter where all the condiments, drinks, and utensils are. The have a bunch of hot sauce bottles and a hot syrup dispenser. I love being able to get the water and napkins at my leisure versus summoning the staff for more. They're a nice bunch but I've had enough order snafus here to expect a mishap here and there. This isn't going to be priority spot for the weekend brunch hour or weekday lunch, but it'll do whenever I'm looking for food in West U. __________ (#1) Ok. All the time.

    3 egg omelette with bell peppers, mushrooms and wheat toast

    My friends and I came here after a Saturday morning workout so we were hungry. Overall good cafe for work. Noise level - did not measure but many conversations in the restaurant Wifi speed - 120 down 120 up is impressive Power plugs - did not see any Seats - 40-50 indoors Parking - free, many strip mall lots Our food came within 15 mins of waiting. My omelette was delicious. The short stack of pancakes is not short at all. We had a good meal. I'd probably come back to have another breakfast during the weekday and bring my own battery to work and when the noise level is lower. But I'll definitely come back here for the food!

    I love the Buffalo grille! My boyfriend recommended it originally since we drive past it a lot. Said the breakfast was really good so when my dad was in town we decided to try it. I had the BYO scramble with pretty much every topping in it lol my dad had a blueberry pancake the first time we went. The scramble is delishhhh. My dad enjoyed his pancake so much he decided we should go back. I had pretty much the same thing again but with cheesy grits and was still good. He had a classic breakfast and it was just what he wanted. The coffee is fine, they have some flavored roasts. Nothing fancy. They also have a variety of other stuff on their menu so would definitely want to come back try some more out. The service is always fast. You order at the counter and the food is usually out within 5-10 min tops.

    Large portions. Good value. A consistent place for many years (even in the new location). A Texas treasure and local gem.

Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

On the way to the hotel I…read moresaw the sign "Hot Biscuit" and since biscuits are one of my favorite foods, I decided to walk over and have dinner there. I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
