    BLT / French toast, scrambled with bacon. Hot fresh coffee all around.
    Rodger D.

    Walked in and we were greeted like old friends . Always enjoy the diner cafe style ambiance. Our waiter, even though he was very busy, he was attentive to us and everything went smoothly as it usually does when we visit. My lady ordered BLT sandwich and fries, I went French toast, scrambled with bacon. Again always good food & great service. Love House Cafe. If you're visiting DFW or Richardson, plug this one permanently in the gps. You'll leave happy and satisfied. Stay safe.

    Second time made me a fan. Came here around lunch time last. We had tuna melts and they were sublime. This time, we managed to make brunch. Coffee was topped off. Brunch was tastiness. Service was solid. Not such the hole in the wall. It gave local diner vibes. No digital payments accepted, at the time of visit. I'll be back in no time flat. Parking the retail lot. Enjoy!

    My fiancé introduced this place to me several months ago. We had not been in a few months so we decided to head over Sunday after church for brunch. We were greeted as usual and quickly walked to the back to a table. Typically, I order a coffee and water but on Sunday I decided I wanted a Coca-Cola instead. So I ordered a Coca-Cola and was quickly told that they had RC cola only and it was just like Coca-Cola. No, it is not! It's not even close. The waitress then seemed to have an attitude from that point forward, as if I had offended her when I said that RC Cola and Coca-Cola weren't the same. OK moving on, I ordered BLT on toast with crispy bacon. The waitress wrote it down on the ticket as BLT with bread Extra well done. The toast was hard and hard to eat. My Fiance ordered the hamburger steak breakfast combination. The hamburger steak was a frozen beef patty that had onions and mushrooms put on top of it. So no flavor whatsoever. Overall, it was just an OK visit this time. Hopefully, this is not a glimpse into the future of house café, and the downfall of their food and service. It's one of the few Mom and pop restaurants still around! You will definitely notice the difference when you realize that most of the people inside are regulars.

    Friendly waitresses. Decent reasonably priced breakfast items. Opens early. Nothing special but if you're in the area and need a quick breakfast then it's a spot to visit.

    Migas
    Goodness I.

    Came here on a Sunday morning with a big party, the wait was only about 15 minutes thankfully. We had to split into two tables of 8. Their policy is that we can't put the tables together unless there are at least 5 people per table, so that was a little odd. The bathrooms are not super great, pretty dirty. The staff was very kind and friendly. It was pretty warm inside, and was asked if the fans could be turned on and were told no. Prices were cheap and the food came out fast and hot! Would come back for the diner feel.

    Craving a yummy breakfast taco I did not have to make so House is my neighborhood go to. Nice clean restaurant with friendly staff. Breakfast taco on flour tortillas with egg, cheese, sausage with sour cream and salsa $4.00. Soooo good. Tiki Hubby went for #11 two sausage patties with scrambled eggs.

    Tasty taste of Texas.... First time back and Texas and wanted taste of Tex-mex. And they didn't disappoint. I got the migas and wife got the breakfast tacos. Very tasty. Service was quick and great. Ambiance is what you'd expect, good sized diner nothing flashy. But the food came out quick and it was good. Coming back!

    Oh wow we just randomly stumbled on this place and I'm so lucky we did! Great/reasonable pricing Food was delicious Staff is so friends Biscuits and gravy were perfect Loves the corn beef hash breakfast platter Will be coming back here again

    I recently enjoyed a brunch here with a friend. I discovered a sweet little brunch spot that is inexpensive, clean, with very good service! The menu had a lot to choose from for one low price and plenty of other options as well. As far as cleanliness- we sat in a booth, the seats had even been freshly wiped down as the table was cleaned. I ordered corn beef hash, hash-browns, over medium eggs and biscuits and gravy. I don't know if it's just me or what, but usually when I order over medium eggs the white is completely done and the yolk is still runny. The eggs looked perfect here, but the yolk was not runny at all. They did taste fine. I just usually like my yolk with corn beef Other than that, everything was super. Definitely give this place a try. It's only open for breakfast and lunch though- so plan accordingly!

    Nice and simple spot for what it is. It's sort of like a diner with your typical breakfast omelettes, pancakes, and burgers. The portions are reflective of the price and not bad in comparison to other establishments that would fit in its category. It's a seat yourself style and there wasn't a wait on a Saturday morning, but it was definitely filled with locals. Our waitress was very kind and attentive, and our food came out not long after we ordered. The aesthetics aren't anything crazy, but it is fitting for the diner-like, local spot you'd imagine if you're wanting a simple breakfast.

    Ham, hashbrown, scrambled eggs, bacon, French toast, biscuits with gravy, orange juice, water, and coffee.

    I can't stand restaurants with carpet! That's the first negative. Thankfully my fiancé and I got to pick where we wanted to sit. Our waitress was kind and attentive. Once we ordered it didn't take long for us to be served. The food was ok.

    Finished our delicious breakfast!

The space has a lot of seating between the two rooms and plenty of natural light.

The drinks are creative and the minimal food options paired well either them. The prices were also not bad, with small drinks starting at $5.50, and a few of them including a choice of milk instead of forcing you to pay extra for that, which I appreciated. I opted for the strawberry and guava matcha that was a seasonal menu item and enjoyed every sip. The guava wasn't very noticeable though. I also got the pesto toast that was $9.70 and it was a very refreshing meal with great flavor. My friend also really liked her cookie butter toast, which I think I'll try next time I visit.
