I have only been to Texas City for a brief stay - but I found nothing that compared to Rigo's. I had breakfast and lunch there a couple days in a row. The service was very good and friendly - I felt as though I was treated like a regular/local. Food was great - just look at that veggie omelette that I had! read more

Classic diner ambience with lots of old fashioned dishes like Dagwood sandwich, chef salad, and chicken or egg salad sandwiches. Ginormous portions. Huge menu with an excellent Tex Mex section and a crazy big breakfast section. Excellent service by old school pro waitresses. We liked everything we had: chicken green enchiladas, breakfast burrito, cream of poblano soup, biscuits and gravy, chef salad, and tres amigos. Don't forget to get a slice of their bakery cakes to go since you'll be too full to eat it right after your meal. Good value, excellent preparation, quality ingredients. Recommended. read more

THE cafe of Texas City. One of my go to places. Large menu with lots of options. Great service. Cozy cafe vibe.

Went to Rigos for the first time today, definitely won't be the last. The food was piping hot and delicious. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Down home comforting atmosphere. read more

They're your classic American diner. All of your favorites are on the menu, like a Reuben, Patty Melt, Club Sandwich and great burgers. They also have really good breakfast menu that's served all day. The pancakes are huge and the omelets are fantastic. They even have home fries, which you never see on a menu anymore. The cost is really low. There's usually a lunch special which is an entree, sides and a drink for ten dollars. You can't beat that and the staff are friendly and helpful. read more

I used to be a regular at Rigo's, but this place recently went to shit. Tonight, I paid $31 for a takeout burger, fries and a bowl of soup which was barely a cup. The burger bun was wet with grease. The ingredients I ordered on it were totally wrong. The fries were as limp as spaghetti noodles. This is not the first time this has happened. Also, the ungloved cook was shoving food in his mouth left and right while cooking and there was a homeless guy inside the restaurant hitting people up for change. I will NEVER go there again. read more

Your Yelper Girl here! Riggs Cafe is a yummy place to get breakfast, brunch, and desserts. The service is always friendly and fast. Everything I've had here has been really good. Definitely must try if you're in Texas City. read more

Excellent Rigo's cheeseburger with onion rings! Friend had breakfast, both were delicious! Served was also very sweet! Local cafe vibes!

I've been only for breakfast, few visits. Always friendly customer service. I enjoy their "specials of the day". Great menu selection to please all in the family. read more

This little gem has been in Texas city for several years. It was fork and spoon previously. The food is always fresh and delicious! I love the hamburger steak with grilled onions and veggies. With a side salad. And a dash of gravy. Everything is really fresh! If you never been you should go and support your local small business. Stafff is friendly and the food has been very good every time we go. There is something for everyone on the menu and the prices are reasonable. Will be back soon! read more

Home cooked to perfection. Great pixies! Very large tasty potions. My go to for dinner monthly.

Rigos Cafe seems to be a Texas City staple for breakfast done right. They have that old town, homey diner type feel, but with a couple tex mex twists. Walking in, we were immediately greeted and told to sit where we like. We came on a nice Saturday morning so I'd say a good 70% of the tables were full. Just by looking over at the other tables, we knew the portions were big and everyone looked happy. Service was solid. Food wise, we tried their migas a la mexicana, Reuben sandwich, the "Katastrophic," and their Sat morning special. The special was 2 big, fluffy blueberry pancakes, 2 eggs, choice of meat, and a drink. The "Katastrophic" is a giant pile of toast/biscuit, hash browns, country ham, cheese, 2 eggs, sausage gravy, and sprinkled w/ crumbled bacon. The Reuben was your classic Reuben w/ pastrami and sauerkraut on pumpernickel bread. The migas were your classic eggs w/ tortilla chips/cheese mixed in, home fries, refried beans, and your choice of meat. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything you order here. The menu has something everyone would like. The family that owns the cafe seems to be really nice, be sure to support local! Enjoy! PS. The coffee is great and always fresh/hot as it should be! read more

Everything was great. Great service. Great food. Very clean and affordable. Will definitely be returning and recommending this restaurant.

This place has recently become one of our favorites . Really good food and service has been good until last couple of weeks . Not sure why but service was horribly slow these last two Sundays. I understand it's busy but when everyone around us has their food and all but one group was there after us, hard to understand why. We didn't order anything out of the usual. We paid the bill and added a nice tip because it's not any one person's fault. However, I asked to speak with manager after paying and the woman at the register told the group there in Spanish what I wanted and all of sudden she says she's the manager. I guess they didn't think I understood Spanish. She basically said they were really busy. I asked her what were going to do about it and she just repeated what she'd just said. I thought maybe she would say they planned to hire more help or try to get orders out in the order guests arrive. Understanding that some dishes will take longer but it was breakfast and nothing that the other guests didn't also order. I think they have new staff because we didn't recognize those that were there. We will be back but will wait a while to see if things change. As it turns out, a friend had a similar experience last Sunday. read more

Good food and reasonable prices. They have daily specials which are always good. The breakfasts are delicious.

My husband and I have been here twice for breakfast. Food was delicious, first visit I had huevos a la mexicana, second visit the breakfast tostadas, thoroughly enjoyed both. The service was friendly and helpful with suggestions. We've been on a Sunday and on a Friday, neither were overly busy so no problem getting a table. read more

Great breakfast (Tres Amigos) and great service ...will definitely be back when in the area

We needed a quick spot for lunch and based on good reviews stopped here. It was a Thur and had a good crowd already. Several guys from the nearby plants were dining. Furnishings is as you would expect in a diner type situation. We were waited on quickly. We ordered burgers onion rings and sweet potato fries. Waitress was friendly and typical of a small town diner. Loved that! Burgers were large and overall decent. They are fried not grilled so that was a bit disappointing. Not overly seasoned. Rings were wonderful, great flakey batter. Sweet potato fries were fine. Looking around, the breakfast plates and pork chop special looked good so on a return visit we will opt for breakfast or the daily special. They have homemade cakes that looked to be moving well, by the slice! Atmosphere is pleasant. Would certainly try again, breakfast this time and will update the review! read more

Breakfast was good. Kids got the birria dilla and the burrito, was all really good. Definitely want to go back more often

The atmosphere was nice like a small town feeling. The service was quick and the waitress was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was good, but I ordered the crispy tacos plate and the meat was too salty in flavor. Overall on other items I ordered from there in the past, I definitely recommend dining here. read more

First time to visit Rico's after hearing from friends the food is good. We arrived for breakfast and were immediately greeted by staff. Someone came over to take our drink order and leave menus. My husband ordered and omelette and I ordered huevos rancheros. Both entrees were looked appealing and tasted delicious. I wish I had taken pictures! The restaurant was clean and welcoming. Overall, we were very happy. read more

Rigo's has always prepared great food and the service is fast. Rigo's is located on Historic 6th Street and 9th Ave.

I mentally refer to Texas City as late 50's, early 60s town; a step back in time, especially along the main drag. A couple blocks down from this cafe is an old fashioned( closed) theatre also the early 50s. One expects Floyd the barber to have a shop around the corner. So, ahem, to get to my critique, Rigos is clean basically efficient, varied clientele, food ok and reasonably priced. As good as it sounds, I have to give it an 82. Frozen sausage, inattentive waitress,and country musick contributes to their deficiencies. Once again, milk in a plastic cup! Is this a kid thing, do only kids order a glass of milk? I guess Sonny's frosted glasses spoiled me. All in all an ok place, but could be a little better. read more

We go there often enough to we're the waitress knows our order. Coffee is always nice and hot, food is always delicious. I've only had an issue once, they for our food completely wrong. It wasn't a big deal they fixed it and apologized profusely. read more

Nice find in Texas City - truly an old fashioned downtown diner with a small town atmosphere. I found the food to be cooked as ordered, fresh, hot and delicious. Really enjoyed the typical eggs, bacon, and pancake. I'm not ashamed of being picky about my eggs being served "soft scrambled", bacon crisp, and hot cakes actually HOT. Rigo's passed with flying colors. Great service and reasonable prices make this place worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

This little hole in the wall has the most amazing breakfast!!! Everything homemade with TLC. Only few minutes off the highway and definitely worth it. Service was excellent also! Best biscuits, gravy ever!! read more

As a visiting family we like to try small restaurants in the area. All we can say is WOW AMAZING! Honestly everything we have had is just fantastic! My wife has now had the Chilaquiles twice because she is in love with them! I had the Katastrophic and the Chicken and waffles. Both of those meals are just out of this world! Do your mouth and stomach a favor and go here for breakfast or lunch! You will not be disappointed! read more

Tried this place today and I'll definitely will be back! Got the catastrophic and omg!!!
