    Pancakes & South of the border omelette.
    Drew T.

    If you're looking for that homemade breakfast and actually feel like you're home (without you cooking and clean up, and actually better than you would make it), then this is home for you. Here you will find all your breakfast classics, biscuits & gravy, various omelettes, eggs however you desire them, pancakes, coffee, etc., and you'll be given great service. Bring your stretchy pants, you're gonna want to try it all.

    Food was amazing and the portions and price was great . My grand daughter and I could not decide on breakfast and we decided to try something new and it was delicious plus loved the coffee

    Very good pancake but unfortunately cold cold cold butter

    Not sure how we've missed this place for as long as we've been in Tomball, maybe because they close at 2p, and closed completely on Sundays. But happy we stumbled on it today.i love businesses like this, always happy to try them out and support them. Although I'm guessing they are doing as well as they want to be doing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The nook is a perfect name because it is literally a snippet of a place, 12 tables total. Very plainly decorated with big open windows looking out onto Main Street[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In actuality, the perfect diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I walked by a table that had a cinnamon roll that looked really good, even to me. I say that because I am not a big fan of sweets , but even my attention was caught. The menu was surprisingly diverse, everything from that monster cinnamon roll to breakfast tacos. I ordered bacon and eggs with a pancake. I ordered my eggs pasted but I'm pretty sure they were poached. That's okay The egg yolk was still a little runny. I definitely would have preferred it a lot runny but it's okay. Bacon was fantastic. Crispy but not burnt. Definitely how I like it. If I were to take issue with anything, it would be the one small path of frozen butter that they served with the pancake. I had to ask for more letter which I promptly got, but there was no way it was going to be melted butter. The coffee was good and plentiful overall a great experience. And I definitely recommend and we will be back

    This was such a great local find. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room is small and cozy and you get a home town feeling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was excellent, like family is serving you. And the food was delicious. I will be back!

    Cinnamon roll

    I was in the hospital and my other half went to The Nook for breakfast. He had been one other time and said it was really good. On his second visit, he brought me a cinnamon roll and WOWZER!!! This thing is massive in size! It's also delicious! I was able to share it with a few nurses who also loved it! I can't wait to try other items on their menu! When I do, I'll be sure to update my review.

    Biscuits and gravy.. Delicious

    Went in on a Saturday morning at 11 am and it was a15 minute wait for a table (not bad.) The place is not big but has that true small owner integrity. They have 11 booths and 1 handicap booth/ table at the end left hand corner. It's very intimate and has a nostalgic southern feeling to it. Joseph was our waiter/ cashier. (found out at the end that he's also one of the owners along with his mother and sister Who are all very present running the restaurant) True family owned establishment. They are Covid friendly with plexiglass to separate the boots and give you more conversation privacy. Masks are not mandated (but I actually like the choice of having a choice lol) Ordered at 11:32 and received our first food item at 11:35... talk about fast pace! The coffee is hot, the orange juice has pulp and the water is ice cold.. That's great and all on drinks but the food... oh the food... The homemade big cinnamon roll is definitely a must. It's soft, gooey has a hint of nutmeg and covered in sweet icing. Went great with my hot coffee. (ordered this as an appetizer style but new we were not going to finish it) Chicken fried steak breakfast: Served with two eggs, hash brown or grits and a pancake or toast choice. Best chicken fried steak I've had in a long time. I asked for my gravy on the side thinking I might be taking some of it home.. I ate the whole thing.. every bite. Not only was it fried to perfection, but the meat itself was very tender and seasoned wonderfully. I asked for my eggs to be over easy, and they were spot on. Even the pancake had a great flavor to it. Biscuits and gravy: fluffy biscuits with country sausage peppered gravy, these biscuits are definitely made in house. I didn't even need to add salt or pepper or anything to this. It was delicious as it came. Half order of French toast with meat: I chose pan sausage with this. If I must be honest, this was probably my least favorite meal. It's not that it was bad but after tasting everything else I was expecting some type of over the top French toast and it was just French toast lol.. still good, yet not amazing or different as the other dishes, I would still order if I was in the mood for French toast. If you are looking for a place with an extensive menu and southern -favorites, you definitely need to add this place to your "must try's". Not only will you be amazed at the freshness and taste but you will be supporting a family owned business. We have plans to return to try the Chicken fried steak sandwich.. my mouth watered when I saw this but I was too full lol.

    Nice little hole in the wall cafe. A good note, if you're going, just know the hours between 8 am and 10 am you're gonna be waiting a long time. So it's good to wake up early to get to this place. There was plenty of parking, and the restrooms were very clean

    Omelette

    Cute, small breakfast place called "The Nook". We came in 30mins prior to closing and not once did we hear anything about that or felt rush from the server. They were very friendly and offered great service. Food was good too. Although we just felt like we can get bigger servings at another place for the similar price.

I tried a breakfast taco without eggs or meat; it was decent, but next time I'll try with the shredded hash browns instead of home fries. The toast and sweet tea were both good, although the tea could be a bit sweeter . Vegetarian and vegan options are limited, and there's only one fryer, so be mindful of cross-contamination. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and will definitely return!

This pancake was bigger than my face, and was one of the best I've had in a long time. It was light and fluffy, and had a nice crisp to the top of it as well. Smothered in melted butter and syrup, every bite was so good. I also had some of their breakfast sausage, which was soooo good, and great to get a two bite in one with the pancake and sausage together!!! I also opted to get the chicken avocado club. The bread was toasted beautifully, there was lots of bread with the meal, so I ended up taking out the middle bread piece. The bacon was perfectly crispy, chicken grilled nicely, the only thing I wanted more of was avocado, didn't seem to be on 2 of my 4 slices. The fries were super hot, fresh, and crispy.

Hostess pointed to an area and said to help myself to a table.

Another server dropped off my meal 30+ mins ago and nobody has come back to check up on me. I wonder how long it will take to get the check. The food is pretty average (I am from NJ so I know what diner food should be like) The service might be the worst ever! I have had better service at Burger King.

I ordered one of the specials: Flat Iron steak (MR) with Brussel sprouts. The steak was a little on the rare side but it was still amazing.

It was a perfect finish to an amazing meal. Side note: my friend that recommended this restaurant had dined here 4 times in 2 weeks. She is obsessed! lol

We split the breakfast sandwich panini and one of their giant cinnamon rolls. The rosemary potatoes were perfectly seasoned with an incredibly velvety texture, and dipping them into their signature Victory Sauce was absolute perfection. The breakfast sandwich was outstanding, with thick, meaty, flavorful bacon on a buttery croissant that tasted like it had just come out of the oven. We paired everything with a caramel hazelnut iced coffee that was perfectly balanced, and the cinnamon roll had just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. What really stood out was the quality. Everything is made from scratch with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can absolutely taste the difference. On our way out, we could not resist taking home two pies and the cutest strawberry Pop-Tart covered in patriotic sprinkles. They looked almost too pretty to eat. The food alone would have earned five stars, but the hospitality made the experience unforgettable. The owner was incredibly genuine and treated every customer like a VIP. She has a true heart for veterans and took the time to personally thank my husband for his service. That kind of kindness is rare and speaks volumes about the people behind this wonderful business.

This is an order at the counter, pay in advance, and they give you a little flag with a number on it place. Okay, pet peeve one, I hate tipping in advance, but it is a common kiosk thing now. Pet Peeve 2 all the prices rang up a dollar or two higher than the menu prices. (Soup and sandwich menu price 13 rang up 15) I understand inflation is a thing but if you're going to raise prices, go ahead and hit print on some new menus. It's a short menu, it's only two pages long. Second fact, prepare to wait. Maybe one chef back there hand wrangling each burger or sandwich by hand. Third fact there's about six tables with comfortable chairs and the rest have hard plastic chairs. so if you are coming at a busy time, you aren't going to have a padded seat. Countering these irritations is the fact that the food is actually really really good. It is simple fare, but really well done. The potato soup hovered just on the soup side of the line between potato soup and mashed potatoes, but had fresh crispy bacon and scallions added right before serving. The roast beef sandwich had sliced roast freshly from the oven just for this sandwich. So we got five star food but the rest of the package doesn't add up for me. I'm going to give it four.
