Yikes, I had high hopes for this place. I first tried Hullabaloo years ago when I attended Texas A&M and the experience I had then was brought me back this time with my nephew. Unfortunately, it looks like the original diner is no longer in use, at least when we went, and a separate bar area had opened next to it where they now seat everyone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Though parking is plenty, it was hard to understand the layout when we first drove in. They still use a gravel/dirt/grass lot, which isn't a big deal, but the spaces of where we could park weren't immediately clear.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was impressed by the inexpensive options on their menu though and the portion sizes were big. However, those are the only good points. We ordered biscuits and gravy, breakfast potatoes, and their Pig in a Pancake, which wraps a breakfast sausage in a pancake. The food was overly salty and my pancake was very dry. No syrup was brought out; we had to go grab it ourselves. Same with eating utensils, which they now use disposable plastic ware. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Paper towels are on each table, the only convenience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Though the employees here are nice, they did the bare minimum and never checked in on us after bringing us our food. I'm sad to see that this place has gone downhill. read more

Hullabaloo Diner - Breakfast skillet and cinnamon roll - Diners Near Me - College Station, Texas

True story, I've actually had to rescue Hullabaloo on Yelp in the last few years. No, not permanently closed. More like eclectic hours if I had to explain. No website. You get menus posted on Facebook for the weeks offerings. I don't get to eat here enough being 2 hours from the ranch. I intentionally stayed overnight in College Station to eat breakfast here! Started with coffee at the hotel rather than feasting on the ONLY oatmeal bar I've ever heard of (ewww). [[HIGHLIGHT]]One of the dining rooms was already getting busy arriving 5 minutes after they opened.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We secured a table; went back to order. Food delivered quickly! We all shared the cinnamon roll to start. Perhaps if nitpicking I would not leave the ball of icing on the top. With plasticware it took some time to spread it out. I opted for the Huevos Rancheros. The green chili sauce is brilliant as are the home fries. Add in the the biscuits and gravy I also ordered. GF's Chicken Fried Steak breakfast sandwich was also a hit as well as the CFS burrito my buddy ordered. You read that right; CFS inside a tortilla with eggs and cheese smothered in gravy. One gripe, this whole adventure started in 2007 with Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I would love one day to eat in the diner brought from another state shown in this episode! read more

Not sure why this only has 3.5 stars. We enjoyed it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Funky roadhouse vibe, friendly staff, and great micheladas.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is the original DDD on Guy Fieri's show. Share an order of mild green chile smothered fries with the table. It's loaded with cheese over crispy home fries. Order their famed biscuits and gravy for the table, too. Really excellent gravy (although I prefer more sausage in it). Boudin breakfast taco, green chile breakfast burrito, and a Philly cheese steak rounded out our tasty brunch. Recommended. read more

The local garden greens and eggs scramble on an English muffin was phenomenal! Very tasty and filling! Go hungry & Get there early! read more

Finally got around to checking this place out and wow, was it good!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The country, farm house vibe keeps this from feeling like a traditional diner, even with the actual tin can diner sitting out back![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is small but mighty. Variations on diner specials... breakfast (Southern/ American and Mexican delights) as well as their takes on diner fare. We had the sausage scramble and the huevos rancheros. The scramble is served in a small cast iron skillet. The bottom layer is cheese grits, layered with jalapeño sausage, potatoes, onions, peppers and crumbled breakfast sausage. I ordered mine with an over easy egg on the top. Y'all! It was outstanding. The huevos rancheros were delicious but a little runny. The egg and tortilla base was smothered with cheese and refried beans. The breakfast potatoes on the side were crispy and delicious. The staff was super friendly and the food came out fast. It took me a while to get here, but I'd sure is on the list for many return visits! read more

A great place to come for a quick breakfast or lunch on the weekend. You order at at the counter which is the longest part. The food comes out quick, we received ours within 10 minutes of sitting down. The cinnamon rolls are TO DIE FOR, so if they have some available you must get one. The biscuits and gravy are just like grandmas and the breakfast burritos are HUGE! You definitely get your moneys worth here! If you are looking for a good home cooked breakfast this is a great start! read more

Order food and it took an hour and a half to come out. They dropped my pancakes when they were making them and the biscuits and gravy were done for so long and not brought out that they had to put new gravy on them. The pancakes that I ordered didn't even have chocolate chips in then, there were just sprinkles of chocolate chips on top. The pancakes were also insanely small compared to other times. Never coming here again. read more

Very disappointed outing in College Station at Hullabaloo Dinner. After seeing the triple D spot on TV I wanted to try the cheese steak. Well the day we went there, they were not serving cheese steaks. Bummer. I tried to make due by ordering the pizza. The pizza was just ok. It took forever to come out and there is limited indoor seating so my party had to sit outside on a chilly raining day and wait forever for food they was just ok. I was not impressed nor did I feel I got a good value for my money. read more

The iced coffee may be the best iced coffee I've ever had. The southwest brisket skillet is very good and filling and the cheese curds are bomb. All of that. An extra skillet And Three mimosas. 77 coconuts read more

Hullabaloo Diner - Diners Near Me - College Station, Texas

They were featured on a couple episodes on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri raving about the food. I decided to try it since I've lived just down the road for over 3 years. I'm happy to report it is not overrated. It is a little pricey but I believe it is mostly justified on cost. My wife and I had the Philly Cheesesteak with fries ($12.00 + $3.00 each) and it was all delicious. There is a proper amount of veggies on this sandwich and the steak itself is tender but cooked to perfection. The menu changes all the time so I'm excited to try some of the other items when my sad bank account replenishes. My children had grilled cheeses which made me laugh because this may be considered one of the fanciest places on this side of town. But kids will be kids. They serve you fountain drinks by the can or bottle, so don't expect to quench your thirst here without dropping a few bucks. The service was really nice, at least the lady who helped us was. She was alone in the bar to help around 8-10 people and did a good job. The atmosphere inside has an old homey/rustic feel to it, with a lot of history on the walls. read more

Headed to College Station and my kiddo wanted to try this place out. You might just pass this place up be sure to pay attention, because I passed it myself. Once inside the place had an old country feeling to it. The place was rustic, the staff was friendly and portions of food were massive. It's a pretty popular spot the place was packed and had to sit outdoors. My only complaint was it's hot outside folks. My breakfast burrito was massive and delicious. My wife and kiddo share a meal it was also delicious and lots of food. For the A&M parents, it's a great family place. Will definitely hit this place up soon. read more

Yes, it's a small diner, but it's worth the wait for brunch!!! I ordered the biscuits & gravy, and it was amazing! The home fries were crispy and delicious. The pancake was HUGE!! Was too full to even finish it! Highly recommend checking this place out! Love eating at locals! read more

This place has changed sooooo much since it opened. The appeal used to be the dinner experience. It's nothing more now than a loud bar where you have to go to the bar to order your food...off of a tiny menu that really has NOTHING good on it. I will NOT BE BACK EVER! read more

This is one of the better places we've eaten in the College Station area. We ordered: The kitchen sink omelet - it was huge and very good! Son ordered the redneck philly steak sandwich and loved it. Chicken salad sandwich was also very good Pot roast sandwich was great Every person said this is one of the best meals we've had in CS. We went during Hurricane Harvey and it was empty. We heard the wait can be quite long. Highly recommend this place. The bar looked pretty cool. read more

Quirky atmosphere and delicious food. It was seat yourself and order at the bar when we went. The cinnamon roll was SO GOOD- swimming in delicious goo and pecan pieces. Pictures don't do it justice.

The place gave me small town vibes. The food was delicious , the environment was family oriented, The service was timely and very helpful. I had the meatball sandwich although the red sauce was very minimal, the taste was very good. Portions were great and French fries were delicious and seasoned very well. I give it a 4.5 out of 5 for experience and taste ! read more

After wanting to place an order to go, I was surprised how Hullabaloo's attitude showed no concern about the current pandemic this morning. The door to enter or exit has a metal handle; I never saw anyone disinfect it while I was there. I did not see anyone wearing a mask or gloves, including the kitchen crew handing me my food order. The counter-top was never wiped down nor the pen handed each person to use. No distancing was set including people at the bar having their drinks which was full including the tables inside the bar. I would think the health and safety of their guests and staff would be a top priority. I understand the state has given each business the decision to wear masks or use precautions. If you are at risk for any health reason; do not drive to this diner. read more

Ive been here multiple times. The inside seating wait has always been ridiculous, like usually 45 minutes to start with, and the inside is a little warm for me. But the outside area is big and on the right day it feels amazing and there is almost never any wait. You get table service inside and you order at the bar outside. Sometimes they have live music outside, or sports playing on a tv. They have board games to play outside while you wait. They have parrots outside that greet you with hello, hi, and howdy. They also sometimes have chickens running around the parking lot. The regular pancake is $3.99 and it's huge! I like to mix in strawberries and bananas. The sausage is also good. I'm not an egg person but I've heard only good things about the eggs. My sister loved her French toast, and I an egg hater actually liked it. I got the churro pancake last time and it was the worst thing I've ordered there. Unless you want to feel like your eating pure diabetes don't order it. Perfect for kids. My mom loved the biscuits and gravy and said it was the best she had ever had. And my very favorite item on the menu is the patty melt. Big enough for two people. Even on my hungriest of nights after drinking I could not take down a full patty melt. It's so amazing and tasty! Other people have tried it and regretted their order wishing they had gotten the patty melt. The mango mimosa is $7 and strong and amazing. read more

Hullabaloo Diner - Philly!! Must try! - Diners Near Me - College Station, Texas

I recommend two choices 1) the pancakes 2) the kitchen sink omelet (not picture) 1) the pancakes are huge! I got the small stack and couldn't finish! Definitely come hungry or share with others.. SO GOOD; crispy, sweet, and fluffy on the inside 2) this is their signature breakfast omelet and comes with a side of their famous potatoes. I normally don't order omelets but this one is delicious and loaded with toppings. Also featured in the pictures is the chicken fried steak & eggs. The chicken fried steak wasn't anything special but the gravy on top definitely added to the taste. The biscuits were buttery & nicely done Highly popular brunch/breakfast spot especially on the weekend. I've always had to wait 30 min or more to be seated, so I recommend arriving early. There's normally live music and board games to pass the time! We ended up sitting at the counter Service was okay. Everyone was nice, but slow. The place has a southern diner feel, very casual read more

This seemed like a neat place to visit on our bike and have breakfast. Unfortunately the food was not good. I ordered biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. He ordered eggs, sausage and jalapeño cheesy grits. The biscuits seemed like a week old. I don't even know how to explain my scrambled eggs, they seemed very fake? The grits were chunky and so spicy you couldn't hardly eat them. We saw several orders of pancakes and French toast brought to other tables that looked good? So maybe we just made bad order choices..... read more

They're only open like five or six random hours a week and you have to guess which hours those are before making the trek out there. No, thanks. They might as well permanently close like fritella and 5th and Main did. Mad Taco will follow suit too. All these places that start only being open a couple hours a week because they don't want to run a business will eventually get what they wished for. Food was good when I went there before the pandemic. Sounds like it sucks now. And sounds like the wait staff aren't very nice. Won't be going back. read more

Great food and nice service! Sometimes it can get a little chaotic in the ordering counter due to the amount of people and space.

Hullabaloo is such a classic spot that you have to visit if you're in BCS! The diner is styled like a vintage 1950's diner, and matching music is played for the whole experience. Everything tastes home made, the biscuits and gravy are my favorite! I've also heard from others that the owners are really great people. read more

The food was very good, the establishment was fun and kitschy, but were very disappointed with one of the waitresses. We drove from quite a distance to see President Bush's funeral train pass by. The outside TV at Hullabaloo was streaming it. There were a few people, ourselves included, outside watching the funeral on TV, keeping track of when the train would be passing by. The pastor at St. Martin's said let us pray and the waitress walking by looked at us and said very loudly "let's get this party started!". Before that the pastor said something about what heaven would be like and mentioned 41s answer and again she yelled out to no one in particular "that sounds frightening". We were still watching the funeral and she asked us rather impatiently if we were dining today. We were planning on coming in to dine after the funeral and told her so. The restaurant had just opened. She was also our waitress once we got inside. While she waited on us, she was ok. But afterwards she told us that no one would be allowed to park in the parking lot and we'd be asked to move. I don't think she liked all the people who had descended upon the diner and the adjoining area to watch the train. Her telling us we'd have to leave didn't sound right since there were so many people there to see the train who weren't dining so I asked someone else and she said we are all welcome to stay as long as We had patronized the diner, which we did. The food was very good. I had a dinner salad and hubs had a BLT. The waitress' attitude left a bad taste in my mouth. She was rude, she was obviously offended by spirituality by her loud and mocking comments, and gave us bad information according to her own feelings on if we could stay to watch the train. I felt like she really didn't want people there paying their respects. I also think she should shut her yapper when there are people watching a funeral on TV! read more
