I've tried this place a couple of times on my way to Austin (from Houston). Very clean store with…read moreabout 8 Froyo's (including fat free!). Toppings of course and a variety. They also have about a dozen ice cream selections with toppings. [There are other selections, but I only went here for Froyo and Ice Cream.] The owner was on-site and she was very accomodating/helpful. It is difficult to see this shop from 290 since it is a bit set back and in the middle of a small strip center. Turn on George Bush St and go behind the strip center to get the front. Leave on George Bush St as there is a light and 290 is very busy in this area. Manor TX seems to be "happening" with a lot of new shops/an HEB/Home Depot and much more!

I am not originally from Texas, where I come from Cafe and Diner style Restaurants are all over. No…read morechain restaurants, no corporate bs, just good ole mom and pop home cooking. Now it's been many years since I've been home but it's a craving that is always there and hard to fill. Cafe 290 does just that! Great home cooked meals, typical Diner sized portions (very large) and breakfast at any time of the day! Let's be honest, it's never the wrong time for breakfast! It feels like you are sitting in your home kitchen, the staff are very nice, and the atmosphere is typical Texas Diner, and there is nothing wrong with that! Few pictures, and good ole classic cheeseburger! 1lb of meat... good luck, taste great but sheesh, it's hefty, the quesadilla is 10/10 with chicken, idk why it just bangs every time! And the very classic egg omelette! Get the diced potatoes, it's all divine! LASTLY and probably most important! THEY HAVE HOMEMADE CAKE AND PIE by the slice. It's expensive, listen to me here, it's worth the price, massive slices and fresh every day and THEY ARE INCREDIBLE!

Cafe 290 is a no frills, classic roadside diner. They offer your typical American breakfast and…read morelunch options as well as impressive looking cakes and pies. My go-to is The 290 which is two eggs, a choice of meat, and a choice of fries, hash browns, or grits. It also comes with a short stack of fluffy buttermilk pancakes. It's such a filling combo and I share the pancakes with my husband. They are delicious! Service here is always fast and friendly. They keep your coffee cup full even when the diner is packed!

The workers are always super friendly, and they have figured out how to keep the drive thru line moving in a timely fashion!

This is a good Dutch Bros location. It was clean, parking is easy, access from the highway is…read moreeasy, and the drive-thru is very accessible. When I approached the walk up window it took a bit longer than I expected to be acknowledged. The drive-thru had a slow stream of cars, but they seemed to be fully staffed, so it didn't make sense when no one came to the window. That said, the employee who helped me was courteous. My cold brew arrived and she put a sticker over the hole so it wouldn't spill as I drove away. The one problem I encountered was the loud music. It was so loud that I had trouble hearing her talk to me. Also, I was disappointed to see that there is no seating available on the patio as I've enjoyed at other locations.

Aviators truly saved my son's birthday! I had originally ordered from Caesar's for his school party…read moreand, despite ordering the day before, the pizzas weren't ready when I arrived--they told me it would be another hour. In a panic, I called Aviators, and they had my pizzas ready in just 10 minutes. Aviators is usually our go-to for pizza; I only chose Caesar's this time because feeding 20 kids isn't cheap. But after this experience, I'll gladly pay whatever Aviators charges for their incredible service and quality. My son's face absolutely lit up when he saw the Aviators box instead of the other place. I truly can't say enough great things about them!

Wow... $30 pizzas... it's crazy... how do they stay in business? Can people really afford $30 pizzas? I waited a while to order from there to try and make it make sense financially. We are not broke by any means, but don't like to throw money away either... it's not Uchi we are talking about. Second- the staff was friendly, but I learned today that if you order gluten free without calling first, they will slice your pizza with the same slicer they slice the gluten containing pizzas with... that's not a real gluten free pizza then. I get some places won't take the full precautions but it's just common sense and the least you can do- don't cut gf pizza with a gluten containing knife! Third, the pizza quality sucked! Night and day from the austin location... my gluten free pizza and my partners regular pizza tasted stale and we got there right when they came out. Tasted like a few days old/stale/cardboard flavor... not sure how you can accomplish that, but this aviator pizza has found a way to make fresh pizza taste days old. Both pizzas were missing quite a bit of cheese (one of my slices had none)... the meat pieces on mine looked like they had been reheated like ten times today... The quality of the pizza at this location was lower than if I ordered from little Cesar's for a third of the cost... please do something about the horrendous quality of pizza at this location. I left two stars for friendly service.

The drive thru was hopping, the drinks were coming out at a good pace, and customer names were clearly announced with each drink/food item being placed in the pick up area. There were a decent number of people waiting for their orders, but there was adequate space to keep them from crowding each other. Fortunately I ordered thru the app, so when I walked in, I waited a very short time and grabbed my drink before most customers (probably to their surprise!). That's why you should always use the app! So, overall, this is truly a solid Starbucks location.

Popular choices include Sweet Almond Green, Texas Chai, Watermelon Mint and Peach Ginger. They also serve coffee drinks (hot & iced), lemonade specialty drinks like the Dirty Cherry Poppi". Cup sizes range from small cups to gallons, and they even sell 5-gallon jugs for those tea totelers that love their teas. My friend bought a brewed coffee with almond milk. I purchased a small tea - mango fusion, wild raspberry and ginger peach mix. Refreshing and flavorful. My friend said her coffee got better as she drank it. The servers were not friendly at all nor super helpful. They seemed unphased by the fact that being our first visit. In fact a customer had to point us to the menu and offer tea suggestions. The teas and coffee were delicious.... The service not so much. I would like to try more flavors but hope for a new set of servers. There is no inside seating and two chairs out front. It appears many folks use the drive thru as it was very active. They also have a happy hour 2-4 PM.
