    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.

    Buffalo Chicken tenders with curly fries

    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.

    Corn beef hash and eggs
    Christian R.

    This little diner of the side of the highway was absolutely perfect for our family. We were driving early in the morning and needed a bite for breakfast. I ordered the corn beef hash and eggs and the corn beef was great. I also got a hot chocolate that was nothing special but was still very good. The ambiance was super well themed with all sorts of things from the 60s and 70s. The waiter was super friendly and the food came out super quick. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was because the eggs were a little under done. Over all, I very much enjoyed my experience and will be returning.

But there was a building wait for sure as we waited for food. Ordered Waffle, Sausage Gravy, and a meat lover omelette ordered side sausage gravy as well. Everyone reported great food quality and portion size. Sausage gravy came back bland and "too peppery" Manager was very active and engaging which was nice to see. Took a long time out of the kitchen at 37 minutes which led to the score. Probably a 3.5 if that score was available.

    Good Vegan spot in the Sugar Land area with craft cocktails!…read more The vibe is 'out of this world', eclectic and quirky. So don't expect to impress for a romantic date night unless your date's really into aliens - then you should definitely take them there!! Mostly a chillaxed vibe up in here. We sat at the bar, and our mixologist was friendly and enjoyable to chat with. The drinks were crafted well. I opted for the Everglade Martini, and it was so refreshing!! I had two - let's be real! But the cocktail menu is vast, so there is something for everyone's taste buds. The food was really good too. That night, my friend and I opted for Fried Mushrooms, Kabob Gyro, and Classic Pepperoni Calzone. The mushrooms were awesome - fried perfectly, not greasy, and the Buffalo Sriracha dipping sauce was flavorful. Our meals were both great, too. Overall, a great night over some delicious vegan food!

Thank goodness the mushrooms were very good.
