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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Great breakfast menu. The $11 choices are an added bonus and the choices are plentiful. Well worth the visit.

One of our favorite breakfast spots in Richardson. Love the home vibes and the food is always good. Very kid friendly and the staff is always so kind and welcoming. read more

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. read more

The breakfasts there are just like the homemade breakfasts my grandmother used to make. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. I love their biscuits and gravy. I am not the only fan of this, because it always has a large breakfasts crowd. Try you will like it . read more

Food is generously portioned for the price, my favorite is the Migas. The coffee is good and the place is clean. Our server Rose was nice.

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. read more

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! read more

We went for brunch and had my 2 month old twins with us. They slept the entire time, no issues at all. We were finishing up eating around 1:15 and they started closing up and vacuuming the back room while we were still eating in the back room, closest to the opening. I understand they closed soon, but they started vacuuming within feet of our stroller. Our brother in law kindly asked if they could pause until we left so it wouldn't wake up our babies and the gentleman was extremely rude and told us no because they were closing at 2. We were paid and out of there at 1:30 regardless. The food was great, our waitress was super kind and responsive. The place seemed like it was full of local regulars. Loved that. However - that gentleman and the way he responded to us asking to pause on vacuuming was shocking. Would not come back solely because of that encounter. read more

My Bride & sister in law brought me to this Mom & Pop Cafe in Garland. They had frequented this place years back, and decided to give it a shot after Church. Greeted. Seated promptly. Friendly staff, good selection of Breakfast & Lunch as well priced reasonably. Food tasty & fresh with good portions. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit & would Highly recommend! read more

A hidden breakfast gem in Richardson. I met a coworker here for breakfast and their food did not disappoint. I tried the house omelet with hash browns and biscuits. SO good and so much food for a very far price. Service was fast too. They offered to refill coffee/water multiple times. I definitely will go back. read more

Definitely a hidden spot, very affordable and yummy breakfast! Fast and friendly service. Will definitely be back again!

First time trying House. I got traditional breakfast tacos. One with bacon and one with sausage. Yum! Served with crispy potatoes and fresh hot salsa (calor not caliente), fresh made tortillas. Delicious! The atmosphere was very relaxed and not much attention paid towards decorating, but the food was great, so that's the most important part in this case. Come here for great service in a down-home environment and leave happy and full! read more

Everything is great ! Very quick service .. Victor was our waiter and very prompt with all our needs ... very quaint restaurant ..

I've been coming here over 10 years. It's in my neighborhood and convenient from work or home. Hours are 6am to 2pm (but really 1:30-ish) so don't come late. They will close the back dining area and vacuum right next to you. The menu has not changed very much in 10 years, other than prices, which is reasonable. However their food is not consistent quality. Went for breakfast yesterday and my biscuit & gravy was awful. Cream gravy watery and flavorless. Biscuit was rock hard, obviously from previous day. Their menu states "Corn bread and biscuits made daily" ... that may be true but you'll get day old until they run out. They should be ashamed the way some of their food comes out. USUALLY it is quite good and dependable, for average diner style. My favorite is House Omelet for breakfast. For lunch I usually consider the daily special. read more

Good breakfast food, incredible service, and a great cup of coffee. Is there a better way to start your day? I recommend the House Omelette. I couldn't have made a better choice for breakfast! read more

Great food and service. Rarely a wait at this hidden neighborhood gem. The breakfast tacos are spectacular!

Wow! We have been coming here for 10 years now. We love House Café! Where we have overlooked the rudeness of the female cashier over the years and never let her attitude discount the 5 star rating...I have to speak up. And let me just say she shares her unfriendly, barking disposition with other customers & the staff as well. After paying our bill on Saturday morning, I reached out to our server, wanting to let the manager know about the ongoing behavior of this employee...OMG, she's the owner!!!!! Well, I'm done with House Café & I'm done recommending it to my friends & neighbors! And by the way, owner lady, wear a mask! read more

Was staying overnight in Richardson and found this place on Yelp, thank you Yelpers for the comments and suggestions...definitely spot on with the ratings. Delicious food and a lot of of it!!! If you leave hungry it's your own fault. I couldn't eat it all. If you're visiting the area or even live there and haven't eaten here before I highly recommend it. I could tell it's a favorite from all the frequent locals there; the waitstaff knew a lot by name. read more

Meh, I am just not certain what all the hype is about this place. Here is my breakdown: Atmosphere: 2 Food: 2.5 Service: 4 This place is located in the industrial area of Richardson, which should have been my first clue. I had high hopes based on Yelp reviews and when I arrived all of the "regulars" who were there. We were promptly seated and our order taken. Then the food arrived. I had ordered the #8 Breakfast Special and a short stack of pancakes. The #8 comes with two eggs scrambled with sausage and cheese, hash browns or my choice of home fried potatoes, and bread. It was just ok really, nothing I could not have made WAY better at home. The odd thing about the pancakes was that they were stuck to the plastic plate they were served on. Overall the place was by no means horrible, it just was also nothing special. read more

This place has been around forever and still one of my favorites for a solid breakfast and great service for less than $10. Leave a big tip!

This was my first visit and I ordered the Migas. The food was reasonably priced and solid cooking. The salsa seemed to be out of a jar and was very mild. Hash browns were crispy which is my preference. The service was below average. My waitress was nice enough but was not the kind that fills coffee cups, checks in with the customer, has her head up while walking looking for issues. She refilled my coffee exactly one time. After leaving the cup empty I finally motioned her over and asked for a second refill. A good server would not need to be reminded. read more

Traditional diner food done right. This place isnt reinventing the wheel but offering the usual breakfast and lunch fanfare with good taste. Coming in at 10:30AM on a Saturday, this place is packed. Luckily I only had to wait 5 minutes for a table. I ordered the combo omelet with hashbrowns and toast, along with one pancake, bacon, a cup of oatmeal, and a bowl of mixed fruit. The omelet was delicious! Every ingredient the description advertised was present, while all working in harmony with every bite. The oatmeal isnt anything special, but I like that they give you raisins and brown sugar on the side. The toast was the right texture, easily spreadable for butter and jam. The hashbrowns were fairly crispy on the outside, while never being soggy at the bottom. It also had the right amount of oil cooked in it. The mixed fruit bowl is a joke when it comes to variety. They dump an entire can of cling peaches and add a few pieces of pineapple and maraschino cherries. Luckily I like cling peaches, but theres nothing about this fruit bowl thats fresh or seasonal. I didnt receive my pancake because the short-order cook forgot to make it. After eating everything else, I was satisfied with not having it and didnt want to wait for it. Overall, I can see now why this place has had a steady stream of customers. Im usually wary of diners since I think they have big portions with mediocre taste. This place actually breaks from that mold (especially around DFW). Im not always in the mood for traditional American breakfast, but this place hits the spot. read more

I would recommend this restaurant to those that are looking for a home-made brunch type of meal. They seem to have every "classic" breakfast food item on their menu. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with a side of corn bread. The food was good for the cost, but I would get something different next time. Our waitress was extremely kind and made us feel very comfortable. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and cozy. read more

The migas are my favorite with the house potatoes. I also like the mushroom/cheeseburger without the onions.
