Union Station is exactly the kind of small hometown restaurant every community hopes to have. It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like you've been coming there for years, even if it's your first visit. The French toast with strawberries was outstanding--perfectly golden, light and fluffy, topped with fresh strawberries that made every bite delicious. It was easily one of the best breakfast dishes I've had in a long time. The liver and onions were just as impressive. The liver was tender and cooked perfectly, and the caramelized onions brought everything together. It's a classic dish that's hard to find done well these days, and Union Station absolutely gets it right. Great food, generous portions, friendly service, and that genuine small-town charm make this place something special. If you're looking for a local spot that serves quality home-style cooking with people who make you feel welcome, Union Station is well worth the visit. I'll definitely be back! read more

If you love the charm of a classic small-town country diner, Union Station Diner is the place for you. From the nostalgic tributes to Blue Bell, our armed forces, and the railroad, it felt like stepping back into a patriotic 1940s diner. The warm atmosphere and hometown feel made the experience just as memorable as the food. If you're craving a classic, no-frills breakfast, you won't be disappointed. I ordered the eggs and pork chops. The pork chops could have used just a touch more salt for my taste, but with a light sprinkle at the table, they were absolutely delicious. My daughter ordered the short stack, and those pancakes completely blew us away. They were hands down some of the best pancakes we've ever had and officially earned this diner my new favorite breakfast spot. For those who aren't in the mood for breakfast, they also offer a generous selection of lunch options. My husband ordered the Reuben and thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall, Union Station Diner delivers everything you'd hope for in a small-town diner: welcoming hospitality, comforting food, and a nostalgic atmosphere that makes you want to come back again. If you're passing through, it's absolutely worth the stop. read more

We were visiting New Braunfels and we needed a place for a local breakfast. Yelp led us to Union Station Diner. Generally a place with diner in the name really knows how to cook breakfast. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is small so that meant about a 45 minute wait. When they finally called our name, service was fast and friendly. I was going to go with the turkey and dressing but our server was honest and said that the dressing wasn't homemade. I'm a dressing snob, so I went with a breakfast plate including a chicken fried steak, 2 eggs and extra crispy hash browns. They offer a pancake as one of your bread options and that was enormous and delicious. Our server was really pleasant and attentive, making the meal very enjoyable. If we ever find ourselves needing breakfast in New Braunfels again, we'll for sure be back. read more

All aboard!! Imagine it is 1950s New Braunfels, before the time of arugula, before dijon mustard, even well before someone added bacon to burgers (A&W 1963). This is that burger. A 1950s burger is a 3 star burger, but that's all an Average Joe ever needed. What gives this another star is Union Station Diners dedication to the American Veteran. The Dude Abides. read more

This is a pretty affordable breakfast spot, and our waiter was kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I also noticed that they seem to have a lot of regulars, which is always a good sign for a local breakfast place. It was myself, my husband, and his parents dining together, and we all ordered the Country Fried Steak. In my personal opinion, it was comparable to something you might get at a chain like Denny's or IHOP. When it comes to country fried steak, I personally prefer cubed steak that has a bit more texture and isn't overly tender or didn't have burger patty texture -- this one reminded me more of a patty. The gravy lacked a bit of flavor for my taste, and we ended up seasoning it ourselves. It didn't come across as homemade. I also wish the hash browns had been crispier on top. That said, the restaurant itself is very cute, and I loved the antique décor. It has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that adds to the overall dining experience. read more

This is a great spot that gets busy quickly. There is some parking, but can be difficult to find parking on site with how busy they are. The service is awesome. The staff are so nice and attentive. They really add a warm, friendly atmosphere to the whole experience. The omelettes are huge and delicious. The cinnamon roll is also easily shareable, so soft, and covered in so much good icing! This will definitely be our new go-to spot for breakfast! read more

The food was good, both my husband and I got ol reliable options. The biscuits were honestly my favorite part of the meal. The coffee really wasn't to my taste, it was really strong despite creamer and sugar being added so I didn't actually drink all of even half of it sadly. Our server was very nice and bubbly, the restaurant itself is small but charming. I've seen it multiple times when I've come to town to float the river so I had really high hopes. Next time I'll forgo coffee and maybe try something more adventurous on the menu. read more

Food was great, service was awesome. We sat outside and was very peaceful. 2nd visit - took forever to get food.

Very good. Great turkey and dressing. Good service. Nice restaurant. I recommend this place to anyone visiting New Braunfels.

We wanted to have breakfast in our area and saw that it had decent reviews so we gave it a shot. Parking was a little difficult since it was packed and it was right in the corner but we managed to find a good spot. Once we arrived we were quickly seated and greeted by who I assumed was the manager. He was very polite and got us a highchair for our son. We both ended up getting the Hungry Texan since it had a bit of everything, and for our son we got the kids silver dollar pancakes. Everything was delicious and came out in decent time. The only reason I deducted a star for this place was the military discount. Since the place had military memorabilia all around the cafe I asked if they had military discount. The server stated that it would only count towards the military individual. We showed that I was a veteran and my girlfriend was active duty and she stated "Ok". Once we received our check we noticed that the discount only deducted $1.70 from a $48 check, which was about a 3% deduction. I feel that you shouldn't even have a military discount at that point since it's so low. I love food and don't care if you have military discount or not, but awesome if you do. But if you have it and it's a sad percent discount off, you should just take it away and save the trouble of the server and not make the military vet/active duty feel a little disrespected. read more

My daughter and I started our "mommy daughter" day here before some shopping and heading to the hair salon. We came at 9:30 on Tuesday and there was a small wait, about 15 min. Everyone was so friendly and kind - from the patrons to the servers. I had the biscuits and sausage gravy with 2 scrambled eggs and my 4 year old had the smiling pancake with bacon. Everything was perfect. It was so cozy and comfortable. I wish we lived closer - we would be here all the time. Low prices too! read more

Went for breakfast on a Friday AM and there were several people before us. First thing to know is you sign in the waiting area. I made the mistake of going inside to give my name only to be told to go back out into the foyer and sign in. Breakfast was very filling. Ordered 2 eggs breakfast and so did my husband. Generous portions. Need to check this restaurant for their lunch. read more

I had to wait for a seat. This is a popular place, and with good reason. The food is fantastic! I had migas with a side of french fries to dip into my refied beans. Coffee and service were great. It's a little cramped, but otherwise very nice inside. They hadn't opened the patio yet, but that looked nice as well. read more

We love Union Station and have been coming here weekly since 2019! My husband has tried every omelette they make, and every one was good. I myself get a 2 egg breakfast meal, and choose fried bananas for fruit. Delicious!! Great service from Miranda, Maggie, Sheila and Dwayne. read more

The service is great, very friendly and attentive! The food was even better and came out quickly.

We stopped here for lunch Saturday. My aunt had been here several times and talked highly of this restaurant. We received it pretty quickly and our drink order was taken. The waitress seemed very irritated that we were there. She was exceptionally unpleasant in demeanor. We both ordered sandwiches and iced teas and they came out pretty quickly. I was also charged $.99 for a side of ranch, which is fine but it was terrible ranch. The sandwiches were excellent as well as the iced tea. However, I hesitate to return because of how unpleasant the waitress was. It is a cute little restaurant, and I love the patriotic decor. I would have given five stars if the service hadn't been crappy. read more

I've only gone for breakfast, and the food was delicious. Cooked to order and brought out promptly even though it was a bit busy. The service was great very attentive the server brought coffee when needed. It has the feel of an old diner but it's a great place to go. read more

There are so few places where you can find a good tuna melt - and this is the best I've had in a long time. It's made with rye bread and plenty of melty cheese. The crinkle fries that come with it are crispy and always hot. My husband had the Hungry Texan - 2 eggs, 3 types of meat, hash browns, a biscuit and 2 pancakes. Both of our lunches were so generous we did not need dinner tonight. Service is good and staff is friendly. read more

Look, I get it. I'm just one humble human trying to enjoy a meal without a plus-one. But Union Station Diner treated my solo status like I had shown up with a live raccoon and a bad attitude. I stood there politely while the host played an aggressive game of "Anyone But This Guy," skipping right over me to seat the next group. Apparently there was only one table available in the entire place, and somehow I still didn't qualify for it until every other option was exhausted. When they finally graced me with a seat, guess where I landed? The coveted Bathroom Aroma Suite. Prime real estate with a front-row view (and nose) of the restroom. My entire meal was generously seasoned with notes of urine and a bold, earthy shit bouquet. Nothing says "bon appétit" like wondering if the special is just toilet water reduction. The food? Tragically bad. I've had better meals from gas station microwaves. For a place that acts like it's the hottest thing in New Braunfels, this was straight-up cafeteria tragedy. Overcooked, underseasoned, and served with a side of "we don't really want you here" energy. If you're a solo diner looking for basic human dignity and food that doesn't smell like the bathroom next door just had a rough night, do yourself a favor and keep driving. I'll be over here writing my next review while lighting candles and questioning my life choices. Never again. read more

First off, this place is very cute. The environment is so comfy, and it has an art home relaxing vibe. It's always packed, so there is a wait. But the service is so kind, the man that seated us is so sweet and nice! There is an option to sit indoors or outdoors. We decided to sit outside, and it was nice. Our waiter was friendly, and he checked on us often. I ordered the Hungry Texan, and it was sooooo good. It comes with 2 bacon, 2 pancakes, ham, hash browns, eggs and 2 sausages, and a biscuit. It's so good, I will say the hashbrowns weren't the best, I've had better, and the Biscuits were a little doughy. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The food that I've tried is still good, but it's so expensive now that I can no longer eat there. Last time I was in (a few months ago), I paid over $20 for a short stack and a full stack of pancakes. That's over $2 per pancake. No thanks. read more

Food and atmosphere are great, normally. Unfortunately, one server makes the visit unpleasant. She looks frantic, doesn't interact with any friendliness, and overall has no idea how to make customers feel welcome. Management really needs to reconsider having her on the floor. One person can really ruin a company and that's not good for a small business owner. read more

We came for 3 days for breakfast. Each day the 2 ladies working the morning shift were absolutely amazing and the sweetest people. They managed all the tables by themselves while still keeping great attitudes! I loved all the trains around the whole restaurant. Very quiet in the morning other than slight conversation, perfect for a peaceful breakfast. read more

Visit today . Came in 15 min till 2 pm. Waitress said they close at 2 with a frown. Cook was at the cook window a putting out food . Alan the plate, with food on the cooks window giving me an angry look. Made me want to leave . .. but decided to stay and write this review. Did not see the owner around. Knowing he would want to know about the two employees that were not happy to see us. Food is good here. However if I was not a restaurant manager as well. I would not want that kind of hospitality towards guest. My advice is to hire find replacement or cut hours to employees who don't want to work. Or close early . read more

Forgot to take pictures of our food but I came here for brunch yesterday with some coworkers and I really loved this spot. It is so cute with all of the old school antiques and railroad themed decor. It is a small restaurant but we were seated very quickly and the service overall was great. I ordered the hungry Texan and everything was so good. My coworker got the same thing but upgraded the pancakes for French toast and I tried a bite and it was so good. You could tell that they really spice the egg wash batter with lots of cinnamon which I love. I would definitely recommend! read more

This might be the small town feel restaurant that you didn't know you needed. Let me preface my review with I am not a huge breakfast person at all. I usually skip breakfast restaurants, just because if the eggs aren't cooked perfectly (I order over hard but they still come out runny) or the pancakes are to dense, etc I'm just immediately put off. I wanted to have a "breakfast date" with my husband and we've seen this place for years but never stopped, mostly for the reasons above. But let me just say how blown away I was. I had a waffle and it was light and fluffy but still with a crisp outer crust. My eggs weren't runny and the coffee was good. When we talked in I felt transported back in time to a place that I'd imagine my grandparents might have gone too. When life was simpler and people were genuinely pleasant. Union Station is a unique location and a must stop in New Braunfels. read more

Had a great breakfast here. Sunday morning at 7am, Labor Day weekend. Got a biscuit with a side of sausage gravy. The biscuit was soft and buttery. The gravy was made with what seemed like cubed up sausage links. The sausage had a great taste and a bit spicy flavor. Ordered the cinnamon roll. Mammoth roll was so soft and absolutely delicious. Hub got the French toast and liked it. The bacon although looking sad and thin, had good flavor and chew. Just the bite needed to bring down the sweet of the cinnamon roll frosting. The hash brown needed a few more min on the grill...was very pale looking, but the flavor was bomb. It had an oniony aftertaste....mmmm. I appreciated the coffee creamer option of vanilla. Very affordable breakfast...$30 for all that food for two of us. read more

So disappointed in my most recent visit. Will never return here again. Have you ever witnessed pure hatred in someone's eyes before? If you are any other color than white steer clear of this establishment. My family and I are latino and have been coming here on and off, mostly doing to go orders because of the funky vibe we would get in the restaurant. But this weekend took the cake for me. My best friend came to visit me this weekend who happens to be Afghani. And I was utterly mind blown at the treatment we received. The death stares, the employees discussing and trying to figure out who to make serve us. Racism is a real thing and these individuals give Texans a bad name. Extremely disappointed in this ignorance. read more

Gluten free available!! We hit up union before leaving New Braunfels. They have maybe 50 omelettes plus other sweet and savory breakfasts! The restaurant itself is very cool, we sat inside a train car, but they also have some outdoor seating available, covered with umbrellas not a roof. We had very friendly waiting staff who were knowledgeable about their menu and had great recommendations. We were a hungry group so we didn't get pictures but we had some phenomenal food! read more
