The ambience was great with an old school great grandmas house vibe and Choo Choo train showing ads and running throughout the ceiling of the restaurant!! So cool!! We came on July 3rd at roughly 11am and it was BUSY but we were sat as a table of 2 within 10 minutes. I ordered the sirloin and eggs and my wife ordered the Andy's platter or something like that. We devoured our meals, they were so yummm and the waitresses were so kind and attentive! I can't wait to take my mother in law here when she's in town next week. Thank you for the lovely experience and delicious food!! It's our new best breakfast spot!!

Nice breakfast spot on the Southside of Corpus Christi. It was pretty busy on the Saturday morning…read moreI came and had to wait in line for about 25 minutes. This is a order at the counter spot, you take a number, and pick out a table. They will bring out your food and drinks. The menu is pretty big with lots of great breakfast, brunch, and some lunch options. I had the birria chilequiles which were tasty and a good portion size. Not enough sauce or salsa but good flavor. The side of skillet type potatoes that came with it were very good! My husband had the chicken fried steak which was excellent! It was a decent size and had this amazing light, crispy crust! Yum! Overall, this is a nice breakfast spot and I would definitely come back. The stuffed french toasts are calling my name :)

With a 4.4 rating I would think our visit would be great. However there were just too many things…read morethat screamed not good. I admit I had heard they're breakfast and lunch are great. We thought we would visit for dinner at about 6 pm . Place was totally empty when we arrived; a very wait person say us and very nicely waited on us throughout. I had the two bratwurst with red cabbage and German potatoe salad . Now usually to me , bratwurst should be full juicy sausages of a considerable size . What I got was a little better than two hot dogs that were cut in two length wise. The potato salad was somewhat greasy and not too remarkable at all. The red cabbage was only passable. The whole thing seemed like it was warmed up from lunch , in that it came out surprisingly quickly and was tepid rather than hot. Microwaved maybe even. My partner had pork schnitzel, spaetzal and sauerkraut. The snitzel seemed ok though tepid . The serving size though was somewhat smaller than what their online pic showed but my wife said that she didn't need anything bigger . My wife said the spaetzal was good though I tasted it and thought it seemed warmed up. The oddest thing is that the sauerkraut was mixed up with mashed potatoes. The texture was weird and it was missing the tanginess of sauerkraut and , again, tasted warmed up. Is this a way to "stretch" sauerkraut of all things? The problem is they just started dinner service I guess in the last two weeks according to our server . On top of all this it was exorbitantly priced . Whereas I might visit during breakfast, I may not fit dinner for a while to where they can build a better experience. The waitress was very nice and accommodating.

Came on a Sunday with my toddler, and it was very busy so I expected a bit of a wait on things. I have been here before for Sunday brunch with a large group and had a good experience, but today was not great. Got seated after only about 15 mins - totally reasonable. After that, multiple things went wrong. 1- I was initially given a high chair with a broken buckle, so I didn't fasten the straps and my toddler slipped down through the opening. She was ok, thankfully, and we got another one with working buckle. 2 - lots of flies. I felt like I was fighting them for my food. At one point I counted 5 at a time. 3 - I wasn't given utensils when I was seated or at the same time as my food. My food was served, then I had to wait for the waitress, then wait for the utensils. 5 mins of calming the hungry screaming toddler and watching our food cool down was not very cool. Same thing happened to the table next to me. 4 - they ran out of cups, and my coffee was served in a styrofoam cup with a plastic spoon. It tasted like plastic and I didn't enjoy it. When I saw that I was charged $4 for it, I asked the waitress to strike it from my bill, which she did. Individually these things were not a big deal, but overall it was just not great. I believe the waitress was just overwhelmed and doing her best.

My family and I were in corpus for a beach day. My mother and I are Chilean, and coming across an establish Chilean baker is VERY difficult in these parts lol. I used to know one that would run her business out of her home close to where I live but she stopped sadly. when I searched on google where I could get Chilean food in the state, Divina Dulzura popped up and it juuuust so happened that we were gonna be going to corpus anyway! So huzzah! Anyway - my husband had never tried a completo, so I was so excited for him to try it. I got the spinach and cheese empanada (which was HUGE and STUFFED!) and I ordered 3 pino empanadas to bring back home to my mama. Everything was delicious!! So glad to have found Chilean food in Texas. Will definitely return whenever we're back in the area. Oh - and the location we went to; there was no seating. It was basically order it, wait, and leave. They have one teeny tiny table in the corner that we sat at while we waited for our food to be made. It took roughly 20-25 min so you know it was fresh! The guy who worked the register was mega nice.

First off I've never had a hot dog like that, usually it's mustard and relish, but to have it with mayo, avocado, tomatoes and cheese was a welcome taste and I'm definitely gonna put it on my next hot dog. We did end up getting some empanadas as well and my wife and mother in law said they were great. I will say the place is small on the inside but it's really nice as well. The guy at the counter was also quite nice and answered all our questions positively. I would like to come back here again whenever we are in the Corpus area!

I ordered the Duke Ellington and that ricotta pancake was AMAZING! it has a hint of lemon in it and I will be thinking about it all week. The bacon and eggs were cooked the way I like them. Over medium and crispy bacon. The California Crab Cake was soooo good. My fiancé got that and I too and bite and asked for a second bit because it was so good. The red potatoes as the side were good as well. I got the Hester Latte and I really enjoyed it. The triple coconut was too sweet for us but it tasted good.

I stopped in for brunch on a Saturday morning and was really surprised by the crowds, and the atmosphere of the restaurant. It reminded a lot of B Matthew's in Savannah, which if you know, is a good thing! I initially went for the croissants based on the recommendation, but ordered the Biscuits with Gravy in addition to a loaf of sourdough, a croissant, and a few back to school theme cookies to bring onto the kids! The biscuits and gravy was phenomenal, and I really liked how they added scrambled eggs to top them. This is something I've never seen before and the result was great! As far as the bakery items (croissant, sourdough, and cookies) I feel like my review won't do them justice because they weren't eaten until I got home a few days later. Bottom line, I will be stopping in at Hester's every time I visit Corpus going forward. A definitely must try!

Flavor was great but it was really tough. I understand it's day old croissants I just don't remember them being that tough. My husband ordered a full breakfast and it came out with 2 items missing. I asked to see the menu. It didn't come. The server brought out 1 additional item. I said it was still missing something and asked to see the menu again. Was told everything was there and my husband said it was fine so I let it go. He enjoyed the breakfast but the baguette piece of bread was a joke. One small slice. So he ate the croissant with his eggs. He didn't even use the butter or jam since there wasn't any bread for it. Then the bill came and we were charged for the drink that was supposed to come with it. We told the server. She said that the drink wasn't included. My husband said it was and asked her to see the menu again. No menu. She did go check and it was taken off. Once we got home I looked up the menu and yes the prosciutto I kept asking for was included and never given to him. Really disappointing. For the price this experience was a joke.
