    Meatloaf
    Glenda W.

    Great service, convenient location with parking. I had the meatloaf w/ mashed potatoes and corn and my friend had a bacon cheeseburger. Both were ok. Nothing extraordinary but definitely not bad. Typical diner food. Good portion size for the price.

    BLT
    Jennifer G.

    Not a place we would have even know about, but we were in the area and looking for breakfast. Tasty build your own omelette, perfect BLT, and great coffee. Service was very attentive and friendly. If in the area would definitely go back.

    We forgot to take a picture till our last bite of banana  Nutella pancake

    Bananas! This small nondescript diner, overwhelmed me (in a good way) with the flavor of bananas the cook managed to get in to their Nutella banana, pancake! The omelette with the hashbrowns inside was a thriller for texture, and with with the table side Cholula each bite was good for my taste buds too. Kat's Coffee and pancake syrup, flowed hot and fresh. We watched some chicken and waffles be delivered to the table next to us . I have a feeling I know what we're gonna order next time! By the end of breakfast, our son announced that this is where he wants to go for his birthday meal! Overall, this was a surprise. The people in the kitchen had their hairnets on, the bathroom was just okay. It was a nice meal to have between baseball games at Doss Park. Better than Chick-fil-A and open on Sundays for all the baseball parents We will be back to try the voodoo brew, Monday, meatloaf, battered to order chicken strips, and lunch!

    I've been checking out the reviews of this place since I live literally a minute away. Decided to check it out and it was a hit. I ordered the chicken fajita plate for lunch. It was really yummy. I thought the chicken would be super dry, but it was perfect well seasoned, and the right portion for lunch. I also got flour tortillas and corn tortillas which were amazing. Not sure if they were homemade, but they are dangerously delicious. There was one waitress working and she was working at all by herself. We were pretty surprised that there were people coming in and out to a place that we thought was a hole in the wall for the locals. This was our first time at Nate's diner and will be back soon. So if you're in the area stop by for lunch, they have really good delicious deals.

    Better than I expected -- don't let the looks fool you. It honestly looked a little sketchy at first and I wasn't too sure about the bathrooms... but once I sat down and looked around, it really wasn't bad at all. We ordered and the food was great! I actually almost finished my plate, which is rare since I'm so picky. The menu had a lot to choose from, and you can tell it's family-run. I even noticed a few other tables already knew the server.

    Who knew? Breakfast available all day along with other goodies. Prices are right and the service attentive and personable. The exterior of this place is deceptive, with colored lights blinking and a sense of despair. The interior, however, tells a different story with colorful and well maintained decor. The big deal breakfast is a big deal. Come hungry.

    The food was delicious. I loved it and I would definitely go again! I liked everything. The place is also nice, it has a lot of personality. The customer service was nice as well.

Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

On the way to the hotel I…read moresaw the sign "Hot Biscuit" and since biscuits are one of my favorite foods, I decided to walk over and have dinner there. I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

They had live music on, and from the looks of it if you want to be a part of the show you can as they also have karaoke it looks like. The gentleman that greeted us was so nice and made us feel so welcomed! It wasn't one of those "oh I have to be nice to these guests because I'm getting paid" type people, you could really tell his niceness was genuine. I felt like I was at a fine dining restaurant. Our server was also very nice, and super helpful as I asked for a wine suggestion and she hit the nail with her suggestion. She brought a small sample for me to try before serving it. The food itself was delicious! We got the onion rings appetizer, and you could tell they were made to order. They were super fresh and also crispy. The chicken parmigiana was good, and they were not stingy with their portions at all. The picture I took doesn't do the dish justice. I will definitely go back to this place, as their food, service and overall experience is a great one when you dine in.

We…read moredrove into the mostly defunct strip mall, found the restaurant down on the corner, walked in and sat down and then perused the menu in depth. We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
