    Old-school charm, breakfast comfort, and generous portions -- Avalon Diner really said "you won't leave hungry." I ordered the Migas with crispy shoestring potatoes, and wow... flavor-packed and that crunch? Unreal. Their house salsa added the perfect kick. My partner got the Grill Cook's Medley, stacked with cheesy hashbrowns, peppers, ham, and topped with perfectly fried eggs. Service was quick, the vibes were classic retro diner (those speckled tabletops took me back), and the menu? Huge. Breakfast all day? Say less. Rating: 9/10 Would I come back? Absolutely -- next time, I'm diving into their challah French toast or a milkshake.

    We were in the mood for Diner food. Never came to this place even though it's not far from us, It's a typical diner. The lady who helped us was very nice. She is new. But we think another waitress was going to initially help us, but I don't think that waitress liked me for whatever reason. When she came over she just stared at me without saying anything. I smiled and said Hi. Then she spoke. Not sure what that was about from a service stand point. Just thought I'd share. Our favorite items were the broccoli casserole & the banana caramel French toast. Their fresh lemonade wasn't bad. If you want options and typical diner food, but you aren't in the mood for ihop or dennys, this is actually decent option. We weren't blown away, but we didn't dislike it. They do have some old school Ms pac man and other classic games to play inside.

    Great tasting food, small diner vibes, friendly staff. However our service was slow during our visit, that's really the only negative i can give this spot.

    Substandard service. My sister and I took our mother for lunch today. When the waiter came to take our order, my mom told him all she wanted was a chocolate malt and no food. He said they were out of chocolate and she said, a vanilla malt was fine. My sister and I ordered a burger and onion rings to share. The waiter brings the burger and onion rings but doesn't bring her malt, then he just leaves and doesn't return with her malt. I finally see the guy and waved him over and told him that she didn't receive her malt. And he said "Oh you wanted a malt? Vanilla, right?" Then he takes a long time before he even starts to make it and never apologized for the delay. He never came back to see if we needed anything. My sister had to go and request a to-go cup. Then it took a very long time for him to bring the check. I went to pay and stood at the register and no one ever came. I left some cash on the counter with the check and because I didn't get change, the waiter ended up with a 23% tip. The burger was really good. Onion rings were good but kind of Luke warm.

    Love this place for Breakfast and lunch. The Buffalo tenders were delicious!! The sauce wasn't too vinegar-y, but had a lot of flavor. I like them better than most wing places.

    Not to be confused with the songs Avalon by Roxy Music or Tom's Diner by Suzanne Viva-Las-Vega. It's a pretty standard diner located at the massive plaza where we like to go shopping in Stafford which is called The Fountains, just off the south end of the main shopping area, and it doesn't get too busy. It's not rocket science so to speak, but they do pretty good food, chicken fried steaks and such, and it's a lot better than Denny's or IHOP, and the prices are comparable, so I can't really give them less than a four star - especially considering they're a local place. I upped it to 5 because the only time we've been here in the last 2 years, the service was wonderful.

    I got the 1938 Original Hamburger w/ Swiss cheese and crispy bacon and it was bomb !! I would highly recommend trying

    1938 original hamburger w/swiss cheese and crispy bacon was bomb. run don't walk if you want a good size& tasty burger :p

    Good little place for breakfast or lunch. Haven't tried the dinner. I walked right in early one morning. Found a table by the bar and grabbed my own seat. Was greeted quickly by a waiter before he attended to another client. Came back with paper menu and water. Ordered my coffee and already knew what I wanted so placed my order. I ate paid and was in and out in 30 or so. Stop I. For a quick bite or take your time and relax. The dum lighting sets a very chill environment but the staff is on point with the service.

As a longtime regular, I've visited many times over the years, and the experience has always been dependable. One thing that really stands out is how quickly they get your food out without sacrificing quality. Even when they're busy, the service is efficient, the orders are always accurate, and the staff keeps everything running smoothly. It's refreshing to visit a restaurant where you can count on getting exactly what you ordered every single time. The menu is huge, with something for everyone. Whether you're craving omelettes, waffles, pancakes, French toast, hearty breakfast platters, lunch or dinner, there are plenty of options to choose from. My personal favorite is the portobello mushroom and swiss omelette with grilled tomatoes, a side of breakfast potatoes and a side of crispy bacon. It's my go-to order, and it's consistently delicious every time I visit. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is clean and comfortable with that classic neighborhood breakfast spot feel. It's one of my favorite breakfast spots in Houston, and I'll definitely keep coming back.

When we arrived, there were only about five customers in the entire restaurant, yet the cook and the server were arguing with each other in front of everyone. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere, and customers shouldn't have to witness employees fighting while they're waiting for service. It took about 8 minutes before our server even came to take our order, and when he finally did, he got it wrong. We ordered a simple breakfast, yet it took over an hour for our food to arrive. To make matters worse, the waffles weren't even served with the meal--we had to wait another 20 minutes for them after we had already finished eating everything else. This was, without a doubt, one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had at a Waffle House. The service was slow, disorganized, and unprofessional from start to finish. I understand that restaurants can have bad days, but with only a handful of customers, there's really no excuse for this level of service. I'm a loyal Waffle House customer and have always enjoyed eating there, but this experience was so disappointing that I won't be returning to this particular location.
