    Waffles with fruit and turkey sausage
    Belinda E.

    The food was incredible- service was stellar and the cleanliness was impeccable. This hidden gem is off 2920 & in my opinion, a gotta try place- breakfast, lunch & dinner.

    Pancakes!
    Lizeth S.

    Been here 3 times so far mostly on Sundays after church. Parking is limited as it's in a small shopping center with other establishments but there's additional parking in the back if you aren't bothered by walking that's probably your best bet. Staff is nice enough to get the job done without overdoing it. Portions are normal, not gigantic or slim picking. Taste is a bit of a hit and miss for me simply because I haven't been impressed with the breakfast dishes but the lunch ones are solid. The grilled chicken sandwich is really good flavor wise. The bread is a nice change. Add avocado to it and this is a delightful brunch item. Kids meals are plentiful and the fries are actually really tasty.. almost battered fried

    Biscuits and Gravy
    Susan P.

    I've driven by this place too many times without stopping but today I pulled in for breakfast. I will tell you this was a winning move! The outside is your typical storefront, nothing that lets you know what waits inside. This Sunday morning found a full dining room, primarily the over 60 crowd who know a good bargain when they see one (no slam, I joined that club more than a few years ago). Despite a full house, people were seated at record speed with even the owner bussing tables and guiding incoming guests to open booths. The service was stellar too. Can't tell you how many times my coffee cup was refilled just know it never got below 2/3s. The owner also personally greeted every guest and appeared to know several who I assume were regulars. He personally took our order, happily modified my meal and came back to check on us. I had the biscuits and gravy minus the two eggs which I replaced with a sausage patty. I opted for the house potatoes and recommend you do the same. They are wonderfully fried with onions, soft and flavorful. I can't imagine hash browns being superior. My party also had the cowboy breakfast which featured a little of everything and was a lot of food. The breakfast menu is extensive and has something for everyone. I hear the lunch menu is equally fabulous. I will be back for both. Driving by was just wrong!

    Huevos a la Mexicana!
    Ken S.

    Well, not a good day .. thought I would bring my wife.. and order a different plate vs. my regular.. well, our items were burnt ( my chorizo in the Huevos Rancheros and my wifes corned beef hash)... she wasn't impressed... and it was a ok visit... as for me, I'll stick with the Huevos al la Mexicana... which are always the best...see my pics... just my opinion..

    Egg is so good ! 10/10

    This is a 10/10 GREAT & welcoming space for all. The food quality here is amazing the taste is 1 of a kind. I love the staff & the food is soo good!

    Chicken and waffle

    This was our first visit to Waterfalls Cafe! We enjoyed it and look forward to coming back again soon! We ordered the chilaquiles, liver & onions, chicken & waffles, and chocolate chip pancakes. The restaurant is clean and had plenty of seating at 10 AM on a Wednesday morning, although it was busy. The service was excellent- we were greeted when we came in & had an attentive server. Definitely try this place out!

    Food was very filling with large portions. The friend chicken was perfectly crisp and so were the hashbrowns. Clean space. Plenty of parking.

    Fried Ice Cream
    Michael K.

    With an average of 4 out of 5 stars rating, this FM2920 location piqued my interest enough for a dine-in. While the storefront and interior aren't that flashy, the staff that greeted me and my girlfriend were warm and friendly. While we were seated and served our opening beverages promptly, it took a little longer than expected before the waitress took our order. This was even after she had passed our booth a couple times to tend to other diners. In this respect, I would've expected her to stop by to either ask if we were ready to order or say she'd be with us shortly, since it wasn't that crowded at the time. As it turned out, it was about 10 minutes before she actually stopped to get our order. The food was served in a reasonable amount of time. While the portion size was average, the food was delicious. We shared a mushroom omelette with grits and a biscuit, but we had also decided to order the fried ice cream as well. That was a yummy treat! The owner was also kind enough to visit with us and talk about their other locations, including one in Katy that unfortunately opened right before the COVID pandemic hit full force. I greatly appreciated his time and sharing his story, so we do plan to dine in again. I hope the staff will take time to consider my comments and work toward addressing at least the above service matter.

    This is a great local spot! We have been to both locations and ita good old diner food but the fresh! The way it should be, not like IHOP or Dennys! Their French Toast is the best!

    I was looking for a brunch or a place that served early lunches so my Dad and I could sit down to a nice meal together. I discovered Waterfalls Cafe via Yelp it's very close to our doctors office so I thought why not. The place is nicely decorated with landscape paintings that seem to be done by the same artist very pleasing to look at while waiting for your food. It's a chose your own seat kind of place. It's not really wheelchair handicap friendly but my Dad was able to get his rolling walker down to a suitable table. The menu had a lot to chose from and the young lady who took care of us stated that everything was available on the menu from breakfast to lunch. They serve Coca-Cola products so that's always a plus in my book we ordered a couple of burgers, my Dad got the classic w/ onion rings and I got the avocado burger with French fries. The burgers looked hand patted not freezer burgers. The seasoning was very delicious and oh my goodness the bread was perfect for the burgers we had. The onion rings looked and tasted hand battered, nice crust and were crispy. The fries were very tasty and had great flavor. Definitely glad we stopped in.

    Nothing special about the food. Good service. Average prices. Wouldn't make it a destination meal. Breakfast for 2, $25.

    The good and service was good, but they just pout a square of cheese on the omelette and it looked uninviting.

    5 stars all the way for location, vibe, food, and service. A tad shocked though, as to how pricey…read moreit all got in the end - essentially a drink (cocktail and beer)-sandwich - dessert meal for two costing $92, including tax and tip. Ordered Prickly Pear Mezcal margarita, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing light IPA beer, cup of Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Caprese Panini on Focaccia bread with Herbed Fries, West Coaster Panini (Ham, Avocado, Arugula) on Ciabatta bread with Herbed Fries, and a Coffee Fudgy Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream to go. Service was fantastic with our server (Will) being very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks and food arrived quickly and were fantastic - the drinks were on point, the food ample in quantity and flavorful in taste. The Fudgy Brownie was divine! Well-done! As I mention above, the final tally was a bit shocking. Otherwise, a great place to hang out; planning to return to avail of the Mon/Tue $25 Wine and Bruschetta Board special.

    [EDIT only to correct to "Postino"]…read more I use the one-stars sparingly, I really do. This has nothing to do with the food, as we never got that far in the course of my miserable experience at this location (not sure if it's a chain or not). Walked into a relatively quiet restaurant somewhat later in the evening after strolling a bit in the summer Houston heat around the Woodlands. A couple of people recommended Postino. The issue arose when I asked for a possible menu modification. Specifically, I was trying to avoid GOAT CHEESE on the meatball dish I had my eyes on (which otherwise looked pretty tempting). The server indicated that they probably couldn't do it but I nevertheless requested this... a couple of minutes later the server returned with the bad news. Apparently, it simply had to be served as-is, according to the menu. This in itself wouldn't have got me to the point of writing this review. However, I, incredulous, was kind of laughing (you have to laugh) and said something like "so I can only order exactly what's on the menu, and the kitchen can't do anything different?" (slight paraphrasing, perhaps). There wasn't much further conversation with the server but within about 30 seconds of this exchange, a "manager" stormed over to the table and borderline-abusively shouted "is there a problem?!". This "mini-manager" as I will refer to her, proceeded to inform me that they could NOT accommodate changes because it would "violate the integrity of the restaurant" ... I of course I also found a bit humorous, and in this state inquired further about what sense it made to be so obnoxiously strict for someone just trying to grab a quick bite about 30 minutes before closing. I'm sensitive to the work involved in running restaurants and serving obnoxious customers, but I was NOT rude, obnoxious, or difficult. Just blown away by this treatment. I was then informed by the mini-manager that she was from LONDON which I assume meant I should accept that her cosmopolitan background and (I assume vast and high-level culinary experience) meant that I should shut my trap and stop being so picky. At this point I was compelled to mention that I, too, grew up overseas and was very surprised at this complete lack of flexibility. Within another 30 seconds or so of this dialogue, the mini-manager tipped the menu over on the table and abruptly shouted, "you know what, I'm refusing you service!" That made it all easy from there as we promptly (while laughing, partly out of shock) exited the facility. Huge disappointment and embarrassing in my view for a restaurant that seems otherwise to have maintained a great reputation - and especially so for the fact that service (and people in general) in Houston tend to be kind and accommodating, not typically RUDE or reactionary. I'm encouraging this restaurant to have a look at the service model. I can't say I'll try Postino again the next time I'm in Houston, but I certainly hope it continues to truly earn its 4.5 star rating, 'cause they sure did NOT when I was there this weekend.

It wasn't bad, it just wasn't my preference. I would not get it again. The service at this location was poor today. Since it was pretty empty and all the staff members were surrounding the bar, I sat at the bar. The team was more engaged with their interactions between one another than checking on my party. Each request I made was unnecessarily delayed. When I requested a container which was within eyesight and reach of the staff, I watched the employee stop and check on 2 other guests and make them drinks BEFORE handing me the container. I asked a 2nd person behind the bar and they did a similar thing before passing a container to me. There were 4 people behind the bar and maybe 5 guests, but each time I needed assistance, I had to ask more than once. Also, I could see my food items sitting in the kitchen while the team was continually chatting in the bar. This is my 3rd time at this location, and it will be my last. Although I like some of the menu items, the service today has depleted my tolerance for this location.
