    Big breakfast with eggs, bacon, hash browns, biscuit, and strawberry/Oreo pancakes.

    We went because we heard amazing reviews about their sweet cream pancakes, and we were not disappointed! The entire meal was a treat! My daughter and I shared the big breakfast (pictured) and brought home leftovers. Our pancakes were strawberry and Oreo and as you can see from the picture, we couldn't wait to take a picture to try them, delicious!! The sweetest part of our visit was our server Linda! She was so sweet, gracious, and attentive, make sure you ask for her!!

    When I knew we were coming to League City for two weeks, I started my Yelp restaurant investigation. Red Oak Cafe is a restaurant we hadn't visited before and it's super close to my sister's house. Today was the day. First, the ambiance. The restaurant is clean and has some cute touches including the lighting fixtures and some iron work here and there. The tables and chairs are not fancy. The walls are nearly empty with the exception of the oak tree and biblical verse that covers most of one wall. It's just a little plain overall. Our server was very nice and helpful. The time it took for our breakfast to arrive was just about right. It was clear our meals were prepared after our order hit the kitchen. I had the Guacamole Toast - house-made guacamole, tomatoes and sprouts atop thick-sliced wheat toast. It had a bit of a kick and a lemony flavor. It was quite tasty. It came with hash browns, which were surprisingly delicious. They weren't extra crispy, which I like. Rather, they were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Sometimes hash browns can be a throwaway, but these were a wonderful accompaniment to the guacamole toast. I ordered a side of bacon - three pieces. They weren't super crispy, but they weren't limp. Once again, as with the hash browns, the bacon was cooked perfectly. It was actually a delight. Mark has the Hot Mess Bowl - two biscuits, two strips of bacon, two sausage patties, scrambled eggs and country gravy served with hash browns. Jalapeño gravy was an option and our server mentioned the meal could come with a half country and half jalapeño. Mark asked about the jalapeño gravy. She said it was very good so Mark opted for all jalapeño gravy. The meal was accidentally served with both gravies. Mark said having it would be fine. He cleaned his bowl so it was clear he enjoyed it. It was a LOT of food! Even mixed, the gravies were definitely spicy. While Mark loves spicy food, if he were to get this meal again he'd stick with just regular country gravy. The food and service were great. The ambiance was definitely lacking. I wavered between a three and four star review. Because food is ultimately the most important thing, I opted for four stars. If half stars were a thing, I'd give Red Oak Cafe 3.5 stars.

    For a great cup of Coffee with lots of options be sure to check out Red Oak Cafe.

    If you're looking for a great cup of coffee and delicious food Red Oak Cafe is your spot. Lots of coffee options and creative choices for food. Pro-tip if you order a meal with the sausage gravy try it half regular and half jalapeño. Always friendly and always clean this place is a definite must.

    Eggs with bacon/ hasbrown (part of the biscuit and gravy plate)

    Amazing breakfast... I had the biscuits and gravy plate... I requested my gravy on the side since I asked for the jalapeño gravy and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it... well I LOVED IT. The plate comes with eggs bacon and hash-brown... honestly 2 people can it from this plate since the portions are big. We also had a stack of pecan pancakes and they were delicious. The place has multiple bible verbs thru out the restaurant which we love. Place was clean and our waitress was amazing too!

    The big breakfast @14.95 you can't beat this
    Donnie L T.

    This was by far one of the best places I've been in awhile for breakfast and at the price I paid for it let me tell you it was well worth it. The ambience of the place quaint and quiet, somewhat of a homely feel and still and quiet like library people are just concentrating on eating. Very different from any place I've been because the bathroom you can leave words of wisdom on sticky notes on the wall to give people I suppose for inspiration. All in all I give this place and A++, so if your long for breakfast to eat off of all day and maybe into the next this is the place to go.

    Food is always hot and fresh, made to order. Atmosphere is welcoming. Staff is friendly and provides great service.

    Chicken Salad on a croissant & Tomato Basil soup.
    Jennifer V.

    I always enjoying dining here especially for breakfast, the portions are huge definitely worth the price. But recently I went at lunch time & tried their pick 2 and I chose the chicken salad on a croissant & their tomato basil soup. Neither one was good, they both lacked flavor. The chicken salad was bland & dry the tomato basil soup was bland as well and there were chunks of carrots. Not the tastiest meal I've had there.

    My first time coming here was in between classes and I absolutely loved it, my server was super nice and the food was great !

    Cheddar jalapeño grits
    Jessica M.

    So this location was not as great as the one in league city. Looks the same inside, same set up and a cozy feel. The food just was not the best. Everything seemed old. I got the quiche, the crust was separating from the egg portion. I got the jalapeño cheddar grits which were very watery. I also got a side of French toast and it just seemed like it was cooked way earlier and just sat. My boyfriend got biscuits and gravy and his biscuits were hard around the edges, the gravy had no flavor, the bacon was really hard and had a bad aftertaste and the eggs had a burnt grease taste to them. Our server was super sweet but didn't bring my boyfriends coffee that he ordered when we were greeted, we had to them remind her that he asked for coffee and then she brought him a different one then what he asked for and no cream or spin for him. He also just ordered a side of biscuits and gravy and she brought him the plate. I ordered the strawberry butter with my French toast and she forgot that too. Needless to say we won't be going back there. The mugs they serve their drinks in are cute and they serve Katz coffee so those are pluses!

    We've been long time customers since the old gas station days. We will not be back. Food quality…read morewas lacking, food was cold. Hubby and I ordered 4 tacos, 2 hurricanes and 2 chubby chorizos, and a small chilaquiles. We made sure to ask for 2 forks as we planned on eating at the park. We were super excited to get to the park and eat, despite the girl who took our order did not ring up half our order. I opened the bag and to my surprise, no forks, no napkins... I couldn't even eat my chilaquiles. So sad. So we pivoted. Decided to try the hurricane taco. The potato pieces were huge, about the size of a ping pong ball, wth. Taco was cold. We won't be back and we will be telling everyone about our experience. Stay away, quality of food is horrible and quality of staff working is even worse!

    I was torn between 3 and 4 stars for Happy Takos…read more There's plenty of parking AND a drive thru which is really nice. I didn't realize this and ordered via online pickup which was totally unnecessary. I walked in and there were a few folks eating inside but it wasn't busy and I didn't have to wait in line at all to get my food. The young man who handed me my food was polite so the service was good. The ambiance reminded me of torchy's tacos but smaller. The ingredients, tortillas, veggies, etc all tasted fresh. The Boss Hogg breakfast tako with pork guisada, refried beans, cheese and an egg over medium was unique and it was nice having it and the chorizo and egg tako at 3PM. Th ground beef tako was typical but super fresh. My faves were the Boss Hogg Tako and the ground beef sope. The masa sope was delish. The runny egg on the Boss Hogg really kicked the tako up a notch and made it nice and juicy. I would say though overall everything was kinda bland. It seemed as if it needed a little more salt/seasoning. I added a little more salt but that didn't seem to do the trick. I added the sauces provided and while they weren't awful, they were also a bit bland so they did nothing for the tacos. I would return and look forward to trying some of their other options. There's a keto menu as well and you can make most of the tacos a bowl or get them lettuce wrapped.
