The house potatoes were crispy and seasoned well. Service was quick and friendly.

Still a solid choice over chain breakfast spots

We sat inside and were helped right away from our server. We ordered some coffee, pancakes, chicken fried steak with eggs, and chilaquiles. The portions here are giant! We could have definitely shared! Overall, the food was pretty bland and didn't have much flavor. The chilaquiles were more like nachos because there was hardly any sauce, so we had to ask for an additional side. The chicken fried steak needed at least some salt but definitely some seasoning too.

It usually comes out quick and is hot and fresh. The staff is really friendly and there is usually no wait on weekdays, but they recently updated the menu with significantly higher prices. As far as pricing for breakfast goes, it's now on the high side for a weekday "non-brunch" experience. Along with my food, I typically order a soft drink but don't even finish half - and greater than $4for a few sips of Diet Coke -- ugh. Probably going to pass on weekday visits now.

Tucked into a random parking lot in Spring is the most unassuming breakfast place we've seen to…read moredate. Appropriately named 'The Breakfast Place', the restaurant is serving up delicious, filling, and cheap food. We have come here quite a few times when visiting family and always go out of our way to stop by. The setting is quant and cozy and the service is downright fantastic. Every time you enter you are greeted with a big smile and beaming attitude that make you feel like you're a long lost family member or you just returned a wallet with a thousand bucks in it. The menu is pretty straightforward and standard with a few country breakfast options sprinkled in. We ordered pretty quick and got our food before we even had a chance to get hungry. We got the country fried steak with eggs, white toast and hash browns plus an order of the big stack pancakes with bacon. The pancakes are good, better than chain breakfast spots, and the bacon is good as well. The country fried steak was delicious, although a bit tough in a few spots with a delicious country gravy on top. The toast, hash browns, and eggs were also good. We've ordered a lot of other dishes from here in the past but don't have photos of them unfortunately, but they were certainly good enough to have us coming back. We ordered some coffee and in a testament to the service never made it past halfway drank, not once. Look, the food here is pretty good. We see a lot of reviews here ragging on the food and let's be very honest, if you're coming here looking to find out the reason why your 7th grade boyfriend dumped you, you're not gonna find it and you look pretty dumb for expecting to. This is a straight up mom and pop southern diner, a good one at that. The prices are cheap (or maybe we're just from Austin), the service is good, and the workers truly seem to care. For the value it offers, alongside the food and service, we highly recommend stopping by The Breakfast Place. Also, if you're complaining about egg prices (see reviews below) maybe read a book or turn on the news and see what's going on in the world.

I've been to both locations, and I can honestly say this one is far better than the original…read more First off, the restaurant itself just looks better. It's cleaner, nicer, and feels more welcoming as soon as you walk in. The atmosphere alone makes it a much more enjoyable place to eat. The service was also a big improvement. The staff here were friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. It felt like they actually cared about the customers and wanted you to have a good experience. What surprised me the most was the food. It's the exact same menu as the original location, but somehow it tasted better here. Everything came out fresh, hot, and really well prepared. I'll be honest, I had a pretty bad experience at the original location before, which made me hesitant to try this one. But I'm really glad I did because it completely changed my opinion. At this point, I may never go back to the original location again--but I will definitely be coming back to this one. Highly recommend giving this location a try.

We were looking for a diner or local café with good food and, given its rating on Yelp, we decided…read moreto try this place. The menu options are huge in this diner and I really wasn't sure quite what to expect. Good news was our welcoming waitress named Candyce who was very friendly, answered questions and made suggestions. Mr. Picky has a sweet tooth and wanted to order just pancakes, but I bullied him into ordering one of their FIT omelettes (shrimp and avocado) and then they very kindly substituted two pancakes for the side of fruit. I was eyeballing the Reuben on the menu and when I asked the waitress to name her favorites, that was one of them and so I went ahead and ordered it with fried zucchini and onion rings. The latter two fried things we both liked, the Reuben was just average, but the omelette was loaded with mushrooms and onions which helped make it taste good (the kitchen did a good job on that omelette to put lots of stuff on it and send it to the table looking substantial and tasty). As they close at 3 PM, they don't have desserts at this particular location, and so we shared the Strawberry cheesecake pancakes to finish the meal. Overall, this is not a "4.7" level restaurant but that was on only 12 reviews. I might stop in again if I was running down Kuykendahl and needed a quick bite, but the good news was the price. We got all that food for $39.20 plus tip, a really great deal, and our waitress was great!

Why 4 stars? Because it was mostly okay but I'm grading on the small business curve…read more --- --- --- A couple of weeks earlier, my wife sent me Vaqueros as she was researching chicken fried steak (important research), and I told her I actually already had it bookmarked. And then it just so happened that we had something to do in the area coming up, so it was a really easy decision to plan our lunch destination that day. We were tempted to order two chicken fried steaks, since that was apparently the main event here, but just to try something different, I ordered a burger and she ordered the large CFS so there'd be plenty for me to try. But we started off with the mixed basket of fried treats and it hit the spot pretty well. A solid 4-stars here. The chicken fried steak gets 10-stars for its size (photo attached with a cell phone next to it for scale. 4-stars for the quality. Enjoyable, but not, "I absolutely have to go back" level. The double bacon cheeseburger was... fine. My wife commented that it looked like two frozen patties and that seemed pretty accurate. 3-stars. With my burger, I subbed in mac-n-cheese instead of fries. I have to say, this might be the worst mac I've ever had. The first bite I took was lukewarm, at best. But it basically tasted like a flavorless, soggy noodle. I took about 3 bites and just set it aside. 1-star. We finished with some banana pudding and it was an enjoyable finish. With real bananas, even. 4-stars. As I said at the top, I'm probably rounding up for this 4-stars, but we were glad to support a modest, family owned business.

We ordered and they brought these rolls to the table. I picked it up (still warm) buttered it and took a bite and my next words were "oh sweet Jesus." Best dinner roll i have ever had in my life.

The banana pudding made a good dessert and was a sharing size. Fresh banana slices on the bottom, whip cream on top. A great value overall and if we lived closer we would be regulars.

We were seated in one of the booths. I ordered the cappuccino to start. It was ok... foam is not firm enough to stand the spoon test. Cowboy scramble with gravy looked great from the menu with gravy. It was ok... gravy tasted good but it's mostly egg with very minimal meat (sausage, bacon, ham). We also ordered pancakes. When they delivered the maple syrup, it spilled on the table and they didn't bother to clean it up. We also had a parfait, they forgot the spoon and took a while. We had to ask another server for it as our server didn't come back for a while. Restaurant is nicely decorated and colorful. They have a bar for mimosas, etc.

There was plenty of shrimp, sauce and the was so tasty. I added the green sauce and was surprised how flavorful it was. 5/5 Breakfast platter- the highlight of this plate was the potato casserole. The potatoes had so much texture and was the perfect complement to the meal. 5/5 Kids French toast- my girls both finished all their food.

Emma was our server and did an exceptional job taking care of us at the table. I was a bit sleepy that morning (lol, not quite myself!) and ended up moved seats to sit beside my husband so we could look at something on his phone together. When we left, I accidentally left my purse behind. I just realized after 3-4hrs lol when i was on my way to work, Icalled the Woodlands location , and they confirmed they had it safely with them. A huge thank you to Emma for going above and beyond and making sure my purse was turned in to the manager. And when I called, Jose was so helpful and made sure everything was sorted out. As someone who works in hospitality myself, I truly appreciate service that goes beyond the expected -- this team exemplified that. Highly recommend this brunch spot. 5 stars all around!

It was a lazy Sunday morning, so we decided to try somewhere new and ended up at the Toasted Yolk…read moreCafe. The dining room was full, yet we were seated within minutes. We chose a table outside to enjoy the cool morning before the Houston heat and humidity set in. To start, we ordered a Vanilla Chai Latte and an orange juice, both refreshing and perfect for the weather. The menu was full of tempting options, and I was torn between the Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffles and the Southern Fried Arnold Eggs Benedict. Our server, Laura, made the decision easy. As soon as I mentioned the Southern Fried Arnold Eggs Benedict, she lit up and started raving about the gravy. We also ordered the Vegetable Scramble with queso on the side, and chose the hash brown casserole as our sides. Everything arrived looking as good as it tasted. Laura was right - the gravy on the Southern Fried Arnold Eggs Benedict was outstanding. It combined the best parts of biscuits and gravy, Eggs Benedict, and spicy chicken tenders into one tasteful dish. The hash brown casserole was the surprise standout and quickly became a new comfort-food favorite. The Vegetable Scramble was packed with flavor, and the queso brought it all together. Between the food, drinks, and patio atmosphere, it was a great start to the day. We're already planning a return visit to explore more of the menu. Southern comfort breakfast at its finest!

For some reason I thought this was a health food restaurant, but when I visited one day after…read morecraving a grilled chicken sandwich, I found out they have many fried items too. Upon first glance of the interior, it looks like this space used to be a bar or something with a huge bar area in the middle of the space off to the right side. There are many circular cut outs in the ceiling where huge room fans are installed. They make all their dressings homemade, and hand bread many of their fried items like mushrooms, onion rings and stuffed jalapeños. They have salads, burgers, and 12 different comfort food entrees. They also have a daily special menu that spotlights a couple items of the day and their coffees, soups and dessert. They are a beer and wine restaurant. One unique item they have on the menu is a fork and knife hot dog which costs $13. Wow, this better be one awesome hot dog. The day I visited, they had a party for about 30 senior citizens that were celebrating a birthday. Normally that many customers in a single group would make a restaurant pretty loud, but it was actually extremely quiet in the restaurant. Every good restaurant does something slightly different to set them apart. Here at dinner, they give you a dinner roll slathered in melted honey butter and rosemary. The roll itself seemed to be made from frozen dough, but the tasty butter made it edible. I ordered the chicken club and kept the fries as my side. As far as presentation, I'd give it a C. The fries are frozen breaded fries. The sandwich tasted better than it looked thankfully. Service was good throughout my time here. Overall, the meal was good enough and I will be coming back to try other options.
