Came here because my BFF swore this was one of his favorite brunch spots. After hearing him hype it up for so long, I had to see what all the fuss was about. Cruiser Coffee (Organic) - That's some bitter coffee. It's not sweet, but it has a residual candy-like taste that resembles something I can't quite recall. It's also strong--like it goes as hard as my Vietnamese coffee. My eyes started twitching about half a cup in. Love it. Fresh Orange Juice - OH YEAH. My orange juice connoisseur BFF gave it the thumbs-up of approval. We asked for a glass of ice, and it elevated the drink. Steak and Green Eggs (BFF) - Wow. Those green eggs--what's in them? What is in them? Delicious with buttered toast. The potatoes were perfectly crisp, and that steak? Seasoned so well, super fragrant, and moist. For a breakfast steak, it's great. Admittedly, it was lathered in butter. Annie's Low-Fat, High Protein Burrito - Not my favorite. It tasted a bit too healthy after that incredible steak, but as the flavor lingered, it grew on me. My favorite part was definitely the beans, which came through exceptionally clean. Lox Platter w. Everything Bagel - Exactly what the menu promised with high-quality ingredients. They were VERY generous with the capers, and I'm grateful for that. Refreshing, even with the two containers of cream cheese (I only used one). Their menu is so simple, but they've truly mastered what they serve. The service was very attentive, and our waiter was energetic and humorous. The atmosphere was pleasant and comforting--high-end without the snobby undertone. We'll definitely be back. read more

Had to leave. Came here for my birthday on a Friday morning & we weren't even greeted upon walking in. We sat down and our waiter seemed like he didn't even want to be there at all. When placing an order, he just gave me a blank stare with an "okay" and walked away. Expected better because of the reviews. Had to cancel my order & leave. read more

The breakfast potatoes are their best item. Baby Barnaby's is the little restaurant on the side of Barnaby's that serves breakfast, before the regular Barnaby's opens. I was surprised to find a lengthy wait when I arrived on a Monday (holiday) for breakfast. Inside the restaurant, it's small and tightly packed with diner tables, but nice wall decor. The menu had typical American breakfast fare. We ordered the Corned Beef Hash and Eggs ($14.95) and the Breakfast Plate ($13.95). The Breakfast Plate came with two eggs, bacon, potatoes, and biscuit. The potatoes were plentiful, crispy and delicious. The biscuit had honey on it...I liked it. The eggs and bacon were good. The Corned Beef Hash was just okay. There were thin, small pieces of corned beef scattered among a sea of good breakfast potatoes. The dish was topped with two fried eggs and toast. It felt like I just ordered egg, potatoes, and toast because there wasn't much corned beef. They also had outdoor seating, but it was raining pretty heavy that day. Our server was John and he was cool. Overall, good breakfast food if you are looking for a breakfast or brunch spot. read more

I have been to a few of the Barnaby's locations, but I have to say that this is my favorite. I don't know why I haven't been here sooner since it's close to home. A friend recommended Baby Barnaby's for brunch. I love breakfast food, so this was up my alley. We were concerned because it was a holiday, and they typically are open 7 am - 12 noon Monday - Friday and 8 am - 2 pm on the weekends. The patio seating is open on the weekends to dine. Since it was a Monday, and we planned on meeting at 11:15 am, we took a chance to see if they would still have the kitchen open. I arrived first and walked in at the "OG" location next door. It was so packed, but the guy was helpful in letting me know that the kitchen was still open and that this side had limited breakfast and a lunch menu, and Baby Barnaby's had breakfast all day with more options. I was happy to know they were still accepting customers. There's a small, rocky lot and street parking available. We walked through the connecting area and signed our name on the clipboard and waited in the covered patio area until they called each name in order. We waited about 20 minutes before we were seated, and 20 minutes before closing. The booth seats along the wall were comfortable to dine in. It was a small dining space but seemed to be filled with happy customers enjoying their food. I ran into a high school friend and his fiancé as they were leaving and inquired about what to get. She recommended the green eggs and to sub toast for their biscuits. That's exactly what I ordered plus fresh OJ. The food that was taken to us the first time wasn't ours, and we politely told the person delivering that it wasn't ours. Our food came out in under 20 minutes from being seated and ordering. I particularly enjoyed everything on my green eggs plate and appreciated the huge portion. The green eggs was like a soft scramble, which I prefer, and had spinach, artichoke hearts and cheese. It was served with an abundance of seasoned cubed breakfast potatoes, chicken apple sausage cut open faced in half and 2 buttery biscuits. Everything was so good. I ate half of that plate and took the rest home which made for another great meal. The orange juice was sweet and fresh squeezed via a machine. They filled it to the top of the glass. My friend ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes that came with fresh berries, soft butter and syrup on the side. The pancakes were so buttery and really didn't need the butter or syrup with the dash of powdered sugar and fruits. I typically don't like citrus pastries or desserts, but the lemon flavor was not overpowering. These are part of their seasonal fruit pancakes. I would like to try their red velvet or regular buttermilk pancakes next time. We weren't rushed to eat even after it was past noon. There were still plenty of diners there. A big group left, and they were greeted for stopping by. On the way out, the guy I spoke to at the "OG" Barnaby's even opened the door and thanked us as we walked past to the parking lot. So nice! I have found my new favorite breakfast spot! It's inexpensive, has homey meals, and friendly service. read more

The main draw for this place is the staff. They're absolutely hilarious on point and funny. They will keep you entertained the other reason to come. Is the people watching the customers are eclectic and interesting. The food is yummy. The coffee is hot and the service is very good. Come for breakfast and come for the show. Sarcasm is no charge and quite frankly it has very little calories. i'll be back. This is a place you can bring new friends and old and everyone will have a grand good time. It always seems to be a wonderful place for conversation and if you can't get the conversation, started, your server can light the match. read more

The food is very good. I had a waffle and chicken wings. The waffle was fluffy and airy. The chicken wings were crispy and seasoned well. My husband had french toast, eggs and applewood sausage. He said it was delicious. The place is a small little neighborhood restaurant. Scott gave very good service. He worked the whole room. This place really is a 5 out of 5. Prices are ok for breakfast but it was worth it because the food is delicious. read more

This restaurant was a perfect quick breakfast when i visited Houston back in March 2025. It was right across the street from my Airbnb so I was able to walk there. I sat on the patio and enjoyed coffee, steak and eggs and a nice breeze. The inside was fairly small and completely packed out which is why I opted to sit outside. I love a restaurant that has an indoor and outdoor seating option. And my server was super attentive and kind. read more

It's been some years since I've written for them. But I attest that the food, the service, the ambiance, everything remain the very same ! It's still only open for breakfast/ brunch hours only! Baby Barnaby's provides con-sis-ten-cy. To be sitted, still need to sign in on paper, located by their kitchen door outside and wait (very patiently!) for your turn. Groups more than 4 are very complex to be sitted because of the small space. On a great weather day, choose for either sitting outside or inside. Menu is the same, nothing new, nothing less. We do have our go to and tend to order the same. That is: - green eggs: for the healthy kick of eggs + spinach. - migas: for the little kick of tomatoes - french toast or pancakes : dependent on the sweet tooth level (or mood really) - fresh squeezed orange juice !! Their potatoes are always so crispy. Their plate presentation is so simple and appetizing. Everything remains the same. The service team is so sweet and fun and pleasant. (Maybe a slight increase in prices, but what can you say... Life) This is Houston name and I'll keep coming back!!!! read more

A friend invited me here on my last day in Houston. It was a sad occasion, but this place brightened our spirits. We had a bit of a wait; that alone told me we were in for some good eating. Once inside, we both ordered the chicken and waffles and were pleased. The waffles were cooked to a golden brown. The chicken was big, crispy pieces, with a crunch with every bite. It's such a huge dish we ended up taking to-go-home boxes. But getting back to the decor that caught my eye. The colors inside and outside were brown and yellow with touches of green. The restroom had pictures of dogs on the wall. The server told me the restaurant was named after the owner's childhood dog and that there's a doggie menu in honor of him, too. I thought about my sweet Lulu; she would have loved it here. read more

Delicious food, great service, terrific staff. Exactly the kind of spot you want to visit. I got the green eggs and they were delicious. The red velvet pancake actually came in a traditional "cake" form of a pancake and was a perfect sharable dish. Not sure if he was the owner or a staff waiter, but he was personable and made it seem like a small town local joint. You do wait by writing your name on a clipboard - so be prepared to potentially wait a while. But it was worth it! This restaurant brings people together. Can't wait to go back next visit and get the French toast. read more

The coffee is organic and a very nice tasting coffee. I would classify it as a breakfast blend. It is not strong and has a balanced flavor. A great start for your morning. The food is amazing!

Random thought for breakfast, I dined here once three years ago with a friend. This visit was a solo experience. Visited for what I thought would be a great breakfast experience. Unfortunately, that was far from the experience I received so I honestly didn't stay. I entered and asked what the seating approach was as there were only 3 tables seated and at least 6 empty tables. Things went left when I was told to go outside in such a demeaning tone and left outside with no other communication. Nobody came outside so, honestly that was enough for me to not dine here. Poor customer service really took a highly anticipated breakfast downhill. read more

Stopped by for brunch on a Saturday. Waited an hour to be seated - the place is super tiny, you have to sign in using a sheet of paper attached to a clipboard to get a table (ugh is there no better way in this day in age???). Thankfully once seated the experience was great. Server was really kind and helpful and the food was soooo good. Parking is typical for the area: street parking only and pay attention to the signage to avoid being towed. read more

I had never been to Houston before, so we spent the day mapping out our visits and we settled on the Montrose area. Kinda reminds me of Melrose or Fairfax in LA but much more "cutty". First and foremost parking can be a challenge so park on one of the off streets and walk over. The hospitality was amazing. Very cordial, casual, friendly - I never once asked for a refill. My cup was full before I got to a quarter glass. We did the waffle breakfast and literally everything was spectacular, the eggs, the sausage, waffle was crunchy on the surface with fluffy innards. The other part that struck me was how diverse it was. There were maybe a dozen people outside waiting to be seated of all shapes, colors, and sizes. When we were gallivanting around the greater Houston area, I was thinking cowboy boots and 40 gallon hats. Instead we got chuck Taylor's and booty shorts. I was like okay, this is my vibe. Baby Barns is a really cozy, kinda tight place. It's not a place you wanna take a party of more than 4 or 5. But if you're hungry and in need of a shopping break or want something a little less commercial then Baby B's is the spot, especially if you don't wanna wait in the Breakfast Klub line until Thanksgiving. But the area surrounding it is beautiful, old timey southern homes with those signature front porches and white painted facades and even comes with cobblestone streets: it's southern Charm with a little gentrification. This is in a diverse neighborhood where all types are welcome so if you're not into "That Kinda stuff" you're probably just better off at Cracker Barrel. But if you want genuine, organic vibes, and friendly banter. Baby Barnaby's is the spot! read more

This was my first time here with a group of friends for a quick meeting and dinner. The service at first seemed like we were an annoyance to the waiter but quickly turned better once we ordered our drinks. No sense of humor whatsoever. Nice art work and decor. Parking is a pain though. We ordered chips and salsa to hold us over until our food arrived. Everything looked amazing and was very good tasting. We ordered an egg salad sandwich, a carnitas torta, a bbq burger with mushrooms and pickles , another sandwich, and 2 fried shrimp specials. Portions were big and plentiful. I would recommend trying this establishment out. They have a great variety on the menu. Customers seemed friendly. read more

Luckily we were able to be seated right way inside, but they do have covered outdoor seating as well. I had the awesome lemon ricotta pancake, eggs, grits, and chicken apple sausage. Everything was really awesome, but my favorite item was the delicious lemon ricotta pancake the size of my plate. So soft and fluffy! The grits were nice and smooth and the chicken apple sausage had some char on it which made it taste better in my opinion. Delicious coffee as well. Will definitely return! read more

The best thing about our visit was the waiter. He was fun and engaging ;nice personality. We ordered the green eggs and you can see by the photograph ,that over half of the plate is the inexpensive cubed potatoes that have no seasoning on them ,and are very hard on the edges. Neither of us wanted the sausage that came with this plate,and nothing else was offered in its place, they gave us one piece of toast ,which seemed like it was stale before it was even toasted, it was very dry. The eggs had a lack of flavor ,consistency, and really seem very much like powdered eggs. They are supposed to be green with added vegetables, but there were so few vegetables in them that you really couldn't see any green. We both had water and our tab was still $40 way too much to spend on very pedestrian food. Small portion of main part of the dish, the majority of your food will be cheap fill-ins read more

On a rainy Thursday morning, we wanted breakfast after our flight and this spot came up. As the name states, smaller, cozy interior with a decent sized outdoor seating area. Looks like a local chain with a handful of locations. A couple of tables were an open so we followed the sign and "Sat ourselves." Simple and to the point menu. We started with their Organic Coffee. Strong, bold and hit the spot. We ordered a couple of entrees to share. Green Eggs, happens to be a house speciality, was amazing! Artichoke hearts in eggs-who knew?! Order this one -you won't regret it. French Toast was solid and enjoyed. Potatoes accompanied the eggs and portion was huge so no need to order extra. Chicken Apple Sausage wasn't house made but was really enjoyed given the grill prep. Our server was fun, upbeat and took great care of us. Looks like a local favorite as a few regulars came in and were chatting it up with our server. Don't miss those Green Eggs! read more

Baby Barnaby's was a fun experience. While the seating area is small, it was worth the wait. The menu is small but there were different options. My friends got the breakfast plate, breakfast tacos, and lemon pancake, and I got the French toast. Starting with the best items: the potatoes. Those fried seasoned potatoes were crisp, delicious and perfectly cooked. The lemon pancake was very flavorful and large. The breakfast tacos had eggs and chorizo. They were so messy and good since they were filled to the brim. The biscuits on the breakfast plates were fluffy and baked perfectly. Definitely recommend all these items. My least favorite item was the French toast unfortunately. The toast was a bit burnt which left a bitter taste. Considering the different items we got, one bad dish isn't bad. Overall I would absolutely come back. The staff were very friendly, personable, and funny. There were regulars that were also dinning while we were there, but no one made us feel in the outs. read more
