Food: Excellent omelette. Hash browns were delicious, but a little too burnt and a little too salty. 4 Stars Service: Busy. And because they were busy, friendliness was a little hit. Still, solid 4 Stars. Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute old school hole-in-the-wall. No frills.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 4 Stars. Overall: 4 Stars read more

Love the food & the folks! Their South of the Border omelet along with their homemade (never been frozen) French fries (super-sized) is my standard - oh yes, along with a healthy side of good natured repartee. My wife prefers the Combo breakfast with eggs, pancakes & bacon. And when I say bacon, I don't mean the paper thin variety many places serve these days. If a week goes by that we haven't been here, we correct that as soon as possible. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Stopped into the Nook for breakfast to begin our day of house hunting. A tiny little hole in wall place that you might miss if you didn't know it was there. One of the best breakfasts that we had while in Tomball. I ordered the 4 slices French Toast with sausage while my wife ordered the 2 pancakes with 1 egg and sausage. Both meals were absolutely delicious and hit the spot for the day! Been a long time since I have even ordered French Toast and it was some of the best I have had. The Nook really appears to be a hidden gem that the locals know about. Small but great food and great service and prices. We will definitely be coming back to this great restaurant. read more

This is a great little gem. If there's a line, wait. Or get there earlier. The food is awesome. I'm not sure why I didn't snap a pic, but I had biscuits n gravy. You can tell when it's all made from scratch. No powdered gravy mix here. Wife had an omelette. Huge portions. Reasonable rates. If you're a foodie, you got to put this in your list for breakfast. And then for lunch, head to Mel's. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

I was very impressed with the down him service that made me feel like I was just an old friend. The service was fast, not overbearing and we left very happy! Also on a side note, these are the best pancakes in Tomball hands down. read more

Love this place. Breakfast thumbs up! Quality excellent, service super friendly. Owners always there. It's my go to since I moved here.

I went to The Nook for the first time today (01.08.2022), and to be honest, I was expecting more. My waitress only came to my table twice. Once to ask for my drink order and once to ask what I wanted to eat. I ordered 2 eggs, hash browns, toast, and bacon. I asked for my bacon slightly undercooked as I do not like it crispy. The bacon I was given was crispy and fully cooked in my opinion. One pet peeve I have with restaurants is when they put too much food on one plate. Half of my eggs were underneath the hash browns and toast. Everything tasted mediocre. As others have said, I I could have cooked a better meal at home and received better service. Also, the chocolate milk tasted gross. read more

We stopped for the first time after passing by for years. This place is the bomb. They have daily specials of home cooked meals. Today was chicken and dumplings and by the time I ordered one to go it was all gone and only 12:30. Then we thought we order a cinnamon roll and wow it was finger by licking good. Service is great and ambiance is neighborly. Will be back for sure read more

Excellent breakfast place if you like old time diners. The staff is friendly as if from a small town. The clientele are salt of the earth people and very courteous. I had the chicken fried steak, hash browns, biscuit and two eggs. Very tasty steak and country gravy. Tender. The hash brows could have been cooked longer to get crispy. Eggs were per my order. They have a good selection of condiments. Cholula. Coffee was good and they top off frequently. Small businesses place but obviously well loved in the community. read more

Great food in a small atmosphere. Service was great and the food came out quick. This spot is near the highway with plenty of parking.

The best kept secret of Tomball, Great service and great food. The best breakfast in town.

On Wednesday, we ordered take out. I got the chicken salad croissant and a cinnamon roll. Both items were delicious! The cinnamon roll was likened unto the size of my head! It was enormous! The batter was similar to that if a biscuit but in the best kind of way. The service was amazing in that we ordered and went right away to pick it up and it was ready to go! I would love to share a picture but I dug in too fast to capture the beauty of it all! Highly recommend this Tomball jewel. read more

The Nook is great! I love this place. I go 1-2 times a week for lunch. I always end up getting breakfast. Love this place the food is great home cooked food no matter what you get. The staff is the best, always making me laugh. Perfect place for a quiet little breakfast or lunch. Would recommend 100%! read more

The Nook Restaurant - Over easy eggs and sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tomball, Texas

This is what I'd like to call the authentic southern experience. The waiter was awesome and suggested gravy with my biscuit and I'm so glad he did! Biscuit was on point! Gravy was great. The omelette was good for crepe like omelettes. I personally, prefer the fluffy type with everything cooked inside and not the burrito type omelette. I judge southern breakfast places on their grits... they did great! Everything had great flavor. Coffee was good, too. I came in at 10am on a Tuesday and found a seat right away. It wasn't long before the place filled up. This is what I wanted... authentic southern breakfast and this is what I got! My tummy is happy! read more

The cinnamon rolls here are fantastic... and huge!! Loved the biscuits and gravy also. Now my favorite breakfast location.

Very good breakfast. Cinnamon rolls are enormous and will last a week! Great service and prices.

We went to visit the Tomball Farmers's Market and decided to get something to eat around town. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is small and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When you enter, you can pick what table you want and they bring the menus to you. The staff were very friendly and even though it was busy, you couldn't tell with how the service was. The cinnamon roll was recommended which we ordered and it did not disappoint. It was enough for our party of 5 to all enjoy it. They also have a drive through window so if you can't stay and relax, you can always take it on the run. Would definitely come back. read more

This place is a gem in a little corner of Tomball. We used to come here often when our oldest was a baby (8yrs ago) and we loved it!

The food is deliciously AMAZING!!! if you are looking for a mom and pop place this is it. Yummy food , great service ! All with a super warm southern welcome. The ambiance is of a small town gem! We loved it back then, we love it now. we love the size of it! It's not big so you feel right at home all cozy. Keep up the amazing work and stay true to you NOOK ! We heart ya! read more

Up to the area from Houston Heights. This place is old school...reminded me of places I went in the late 70s. That's a complement. The food was really tasty. I ordered a California Croissant (tasty chicken salad, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and bacon). The portion was very generous and it was delicious. It was served with fresh cut fries that were begging for malt vinegar and ketchup...soooo good. My husband had a breakfast combo...looked as expected with ham, egg, and pancakes. They recommended blueberries in the pancakes and that made them quite yummy. Service was prompt and they were very busy for Tuesday at 12:45pm. Our sever was a very polite young man who gave a couple recommendations that we took. We ordered two cinnamon rolls to go...I am posting this review prior to eating them, but imagine they will be to die for. Don't miss this sweet little spot. read more
