It seems all of the entrees on the line come with (3) sides. The sides can be cold (peaches, coleslaw, macaroni salad, side salad, etc...) or hot (green beans, rice, mashed potatoes, etc...). The portions are good. I chose the Chicken Fried Steak (fresh from the back) with Mac and cheese, macaroni salad and boiled cabbage. The coleslaw and side salad looked fresh. The staff passes a basket of complimentary bread rolls once you sit down. The CFS had a good crispy exterior and seasoned interior. It met my expectations in terms of crispiness and flavor. The white gravy had a more buttery flavor than I expected, but it tasted fine. The mac and cheese had very soft macaroni and a more pepper-flavored cheese sauce than other places. The macaroni salad (chicken, carrot and corn) was refreshing and had a light coating of the sauce. The boiled cabbage was tender. The bread roll was soft and had a white bread taste. It comes with Smart Balance spread. The interior is brightly lit and comfortable. There are booths and tables to sit at. The restroom appears and smells old-fashioned. The parking lot is busy in the morning and at lunch. I hadn't eaten here in years and thought the experience had improved. read more

Simos Diner - Chicken Fried Steak (3 sides included) with complimentary bread - Diners Near Me - Houston, Texas

Excellent all the way around. Best gyro meat we have ever had. And great Greek salad.

Ihop like menu, but with good service. I try new restaurants alot, and sometimes it punishes for not sticking to the tried and true spots. Always drove by this place, and parking lot is always semi full. Intrigued by the strange greek fonts, thought i would give it a shot. It wasnt too busy so i took the staff's recommended steak and eggs. Instead of medium rare it was tanned leather. Really fatty cut so it was playing a game of landmines around looking for edible pieces. The gravy for the biscuit was loaded with meat, but way under seasoned. If u want a waffle house type of menu, this would be for u, if u want a more modern menu, i'd try the other side of 610. read more

Oh my, a friend of mine recommended this place. Food was excellent! For the price you cannot beat it. Staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is like being in a old fashion diner. read more

Simos Diner - Breakfast special! Yum! - Diners Near Me - Houston, Texas

Simple, tasty, and not expensive. Biscuit, egg, bacon, cheese sandwich with hash browns are a home run. Will come back!

A friend had invited me to this place so I agreed. Upon arrival I already knew what I wanted because I viewed the menu on Yelp. The food was fresh, homemade, and delicious. The servers and staff were kind and pleasant for our visit. I'll be back! Everything was great. Thank you read more

This is THE best place for breakfast - can't go wrong with the Simo's Special. The breakfast here is WAY more yummy (and not nearly as pricey) than popular places which happen to be known for their breakfasts, like Snooze. I'll take Simo's breakfast over Snooze any day of the week. Well, except Sundays, because Simo's is closed on Sundays. Their lunch buffet doesn't look like it would be all that great, but we finally tried it the other day and LOVED it! Wonderful, tasty comfort food that hit the spot. AND, they serve chicken and dumplings (lunch) on Wednesdays. But they run out pretty quick, so best to go or call in the order early. I also love that this is a family-run business. The owner (or owner's son?) is always behind the counter workin his ass off, and seems to know most of his customers. I respect and admire that. My only complaint is that they're closed on Sundays. read more

Came to have breakfast with my niece and we both agreed it would be our new go to place for breakfast after her soccer games. She had the pancakes combo & I ordered the French toast combo. Would definitely come back! The food is delicious, fresh, & cheap! read more

Simos Diner - French toast, pancakes, sausage & eggs - Diners Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is my favorite style of dining... an old fashioned diner/cafeteria where you get to look at all of the choices and decide what you want. The truth is that I was headed to the Country Kitchen for Friday fish. I learned that is has closed permanently due to the COVID. So, I came to Simos which is very close and similar in style. The fried fish was as good as you can get and the tartar sauce was even better. The boiled cabbage, summer squash and broccoli were done to perfection and with a little less salt than is traditional. I can't wait to go back. read more

Saturday breakfast with some friends has made its way to Simos Diner. It was closed for a while due to a fire, but theyre up and running again. They added on and made it bigger as well but it has the same look to it. You will never get the same coffee mug twice here, they have an assortment of coffee mugs that are not matching. Some say "Merry Christmas", while others just have geometric patterns on them. all pretty random! The breakfast cost a little bit more here that it does down the street at our old breakfast spot. But really, the food is no different. Eggs, bacon, biscuits, it's all the same.. It's easy to stay pretty Keto here. i've always gotten just eggs and bacon because I don't want to mess up my diet on diner food. The bacon is always so crisp and cooked just right. the eggs I usually get scrambled because it's easier to eat while holding a baby. they are nice and fluffy, the way a scrambled egg should be. Everyone else always gets the Simos special which comes with eggs, bacon or sausage, a biscuit or toast , hasbrowns or grits. They all seem to enjoy it, they get it every single time we come here. read more

I had the chicken fried steak, mac & cheese, peas and green beans. Everything was delicious! The green beans had a little bit of tomato. Delicious! Staff was very friendly and courteous. read more

I'm from out of town, and this Diner was highly recommended by the locals. Loved it! I find alone & my server, Shayla was awesome. The staff works so well together, like family. The food was hot, fresh & delicious. I haven't had grits in years, and these were the best! Highly recommend! read more

Simos is always great! I LOVE coming here for breakfast- it is served until 11am, btw! I haven't had a bad dish here. You will not walk away from your table hungry. I've been here for lunch several times as well and they serve a solid gyro. I haven't tried their steam table yet, but I've heard from everyone it is amazing. The staff is always friendly. I hope they are around for years to come! They are closed Sundays and they are closed for dinner. read more

Your typical mom and pop diner. Nothing that stands out about the menu itself, but the food is good and great customer service. Always packed on Saturdays, but most likely because they are closed on Sundays. read more

Great place to have a quick bit for breakfast or lunch. Been here many of times mostly for breakfast and some lunch. The portion sizes of all their plates are hearty so if you looking something little... it might be on the menu, but I've never seen it...or looked for it. So I'm on a diet of some sorts so I got oatmeal and a fruit bowl and it was delicious but my dad got the Simos breakfast special with 3 eggs and all the fixings... so what I'm saying is they have healthier choices but you are really going to want the good stuff. Don't get me wrong the oatmeal and fruit cut was great, but the big breakfast look better. Parking is a bit tight but plenty of parking the place does get packed for breakfast and lunch. For breakfast they have a menu to order from, but lunch they have a menu and a lunch buffet that you pick your plate that you can eat there or to go. I've alway took it to go lunch time is packed. Overall I'll keep going back... just not on diet. read more

Great family diner. Stopped for breakfast and had a fabulous omelette that was enough to feed all of all. Fresh and hot full of veggies! Crisp hash browns and toast. Everything was made to order.

First time here. Had breakfast, a little skeptical from the outside, but the inside was nice and clean! This was one of the best breakfast I had in years!!! Also the service was the best ever!!! read more

I ordered the simos breakfast special. It was all really good hot & fresh. My favorite were the grits. My son's favorite was the bacon and pancakes. Will be back when on this side of town. read more

Service and food are good and this is one of my favorite neighborhood spots but I probably won't be back until after the Covid 19 pandemic is over. I was shocked and disappointed to see the owner and son and cooks not wearing masks. Customers are taking a risk by eating out and I myself want to support local businesses. Customers wear their masks while coming and going so to see owners and staff not protecting us was heartbreaking. read more

Nice family place with casual atmosphere and classic look. Good service and better food. Do not expect nothing fancy: just your regular breckfast of bacon, eggs, and toasts. read more

This is a wonderful, local diner with great staff and great food! It's definitely a hidden gem! read more

Simos Diner - Garden omelet, no bell pepper, with hashbrowns mixed in - Diners Near Me - Houston, Texas

Struggled between giving Simos 4 or 5 stars, but for its class of restaurant (divey diner?), it excels. First and foremost, the food is pretty darn good (especially the biscuits!). Breakfast sandwich, burger patty and eggs, pancakes...they all hit the spot. Second, great service, hometown feel; seems like everyone is a local. Lastly, great value for the food and service. Don't waste your time with Denny's or some garbage like that. If you're looking for a no-frills diner, give this place a try. read more

Simos Diner - Diners Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love their turkey and dressing. Everything on their steam table is homemade and delicious. My family and I have been coming here for over 20 years. Service is great, I especially have momma in my heart forever. Environment is friendly and I have never had a bad encounter with anyone. read more

Great food and awesome waitstaff! Definitely worth checking out and eating there. I recommend checking it out.

Blue collar, established mom and pop (and son) diner. Healthy portions of vegetables come with the lunch buffet. Daily specials of home-cooked traditional food. Service is down-home friendly diner style. Breakfast looks interesting and is probably good. In most places like this, the vegetables in steam table of stainless steel pans tend to get soggy and overcooked. Not too bad here. At least the food doesn't look or taste like it was from yesterday. The spinach and green beans were acceptable, and not over salted. The owner is Greek, so there are a few items of heritage. I ordered the special, a Greek-style stuffed bell pepper. Mildly spiced, not greasy. Slightly better than I expected at this type of place and neighborhood (i.e. not yuppie). Roll and cornbread are complementary, but below average (not in same league as Black-Eyed Pea, for example). Nothing was too salty. This is important for some folks. $8 is reasonable for large portions of meat, 3 veggies and iced tea. $4.50 for breakfast of 3 eggs, 3 bacon, 1 sausage, hash browns or grits, and toast or biscuits or pancakes. read more

Always great service and friendly people. That's the main reason I keep coming back. I have only eaten breakfast here, but as far as I can tell all the portions are large and the taste is on point. Not your typical place for the heights and that is why I like it. It's has more of home feel to it! read more

Man let me tell you this place is a home run it is a diamond in the rough I assure you, don't let the location or the outside appearance stop you from going in and getting yourself a good home cooked meal like Mom would make it's setup kind of cafeteria-style with steam tables that you get to choose and pick your salad, entree and vegetables from the servers are polite and quick to help I was thoroughly impressed I will definitely be going back read more

this place is a gem when it comes to great fresh diner food... had breakfast here and it was better than any other diners I been to.. something bout Greek families who owns Diners, they take pride into service and they treat you like family... definitely recommend this place over IHOP/ Denny's/ Waffle House or any chain diner! Food gets 5! read more

Simos Diner - Diners Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was our favorite breakfast place while in Houston for three months. Super friendly staff. Food was amazing and crazy cheap. My favorite was simos special. 3 eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and pancakes less than $10. Family owned. Don't be deterred by how it looks. Building is run down and unappealing but I guarantee that the food is amazing. You know it's good when there are police officers there every morning. read more

A good breakfast spot with consistently good food. The pork chops and omelettes are great and I love how they cook their hashbrowns. The staff is always friendly and the place has a very homey family feeling. read more

We love this place, including the kids. Breakfast is the best. Simos' Special - eggs, bacon, sausage, grits and pancakes for under $8! Old fashioned diner food, great for some comfort right now. Our favorite waitress Christine is the best and we will miss visiting her for now. But the best part is they have take out! read more

I can only talk about breakfast at this seemingly family run establishment since it's near work. Clean place and friendly people. Food and coffee are fresh and well done. And the prices are more than reasonable. read more
