Walking in the atmosphere is chill. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The service is excellent! The food is an acquired taste. Savory grits, biscuit French toast, and berries and biscuits. Unfortunately, my meal was slightly overcooked but the young man quickly made me a regular biscuit. I gave 5 stars for the service and chill environment. We may return at a later time. read more

Got there JUST IN TIME to avoid a long wait ... before 10 Once you're inside the door there is lots to entertain you, should you have to wait. Southern humor on coffee cup, cookbook, and other paraphernalia to entertain you or to take home proof that you visited the steller Stella Souther Cafe. It was hard to decide what to have for breakfast because everything sounded so good. Next visit we will be trying the shrimp and grits as a table next to us raved about it. The biscuits and gravy was good, but we would definitely ask for more gravy. Our eggs were prepared perfectly and the coffee was delicious. You can't ask for anything more than that read more

We arrived at 11:00 and there was already a line out the door! That should tell you something! The line went quickly. We were seated within 20 minutes! I had the Veggie Frittata. It was very good. The salad was good, but could've used a bit more dressing. My daughter had the Eggcetera, which she thoroughly enjoyed. The biscuits were fluffy and excellently prepared. The wait staff stopped by to check on us often. The restaurant was nicely decorated. There's also a small outdoor patio. Great place for brunch! read more

Stella Southern Cafe - Veggie frittata - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - College Station, Texas

Went to try the gluten free, dairy free options. Made sure burger had mustard and no cheese and side salad had vinaigrette and no cheese since it was pecans and apples, etc. Plate arrived with cranberries and feta salad and mayo for the burger. Server grabbed another salad without cheese but said apples and pecans were not available for side salads. The receipt only showed entrees but not options or details so what can I do? Lilly was our cashier and I just want to add that she did a great job listening to us and making suggestions and edits even though the kitchen ignored most instructions. read more

Came here based on all the reviews. Had biscuits and gravy. It was ok, nothing special, wife and kids had food as well. They all felt the same. Had high hopes for this place.. service was over the top, and the place is clean and cute. I am new to the area and will try a few other spots before coming back here. read more

So the line was out the door, but moved pretty fast. You order and then find somewhere to sit it was pretty efficient when we were here. I've seen some people complain about this in the other reviews, but I had no complaints. It is a very hustle and bustle place but the food is really good and all the servers are consistently moving and checking on you so that was really nice. Very clean seem well maintained super friendly people. read more

I bought a shirt and that means we had a memorable experience. Stella's was a cool spot for breakfast. I had the pot roast and eggs, the rest of the table had banana fosters French toast and juevos rancheros. We loved every bite and the coffee stood out on its own. Don't be afraid of line as the tables clear pretty quick. read more

We narrowed down to our brunch selection to this eatery! Order first, then sit. Brunch order: Biscuit & Gravy (basic) nothing special - 7/10 Biscuit Pot Pie - 7/10 French toast 10/10 with side of bright yellow eggs 5/10. Fresh squeezed orange juice Excellent & friendly customer service. read more

Wow! We loved the entire experience at Stella's. Walking into the maize of the gift shop items with time to check out the extensive menu was perfect. The service was perfect and fast and our food arrived quickly and cooked to perfection. So many wonderful southern flavors and with beautifully cooked eggs. The southern comfort here oozes from the food and the decor. Be sure and not miss this fantastic brunch spot. read more

The vibe is chill and the place is very cute-but this is our fourth time giving it a shot and everything we ordered needed salt. Bland, bland. The bacon was over cooked, the sausage was beige with no sear. The grits needed copious amounts of salt and pepper, as did the pimento cheese. read more

I LOVE brunch, and Stella Southern Cafe absolutely hit the mark. Lots of parking, order at the counter, then grab a seat. The food came out fast, and the service was solid. Even when one dish needed to be corrected, they handled it right away without any hassle. * Veggie Frittata (w/ homestyle potatoes instead of salad) - 5/5 Light, flavorful, and packed with veggies. The potatoes were crispy, well-seasoned, and definitely worth swapping in. * Huevos Rancheros (with scrambled eggs) - 5/5 Super tasty and filling. The flavors were well-balanced, and the eggs were cooked just right. * Beignets - 10/5 Best we've had outside of New Orleans. Warm, soft, and not too sweet--just right. * French Toast Biscuit - 4.5/5 Rich, indulgent, and fun. Wouldn't get it every time, but perfect if you want something sweet. Overall, great experience. We'll be back for sure. read more

I came into town and was looking for something that wasn't fast food and would be enjoyable to eat I found this place on yelp and saw that it was nearby so I've decided to give it a try The location is easy to get to very clean and safe The food was fantastic, and the service was pleasant I would definitely come back again read more

Overall, I had a great brunch. I tried the Biscuits & Gravy. I added scrambled eggs and bacon. I wish there was a discount when you order it all together. I rarely just order biscuits & gravy alone but I might be in the minority. I tried the orange juice. It tasted freshly made. The size of the cup was smaller than expected. I tried my friend's home fries. While they tasted good, they didn't look appetizing. As a big woman, the seating options wasn't the best. The seats were spacious but the tables were very close together. I usually go to the booths but the booths are the ones where the table doesn't move. I wished all restaurants had booths with tables that were movable. The young woman who took our order was nice and patient. The waiters were friendly and helpful as well. Overall, I had a nice brunch and would recommend. read more

I was new and alone so I didn't know that When you go to Stella's the menu is on the wall, you order and pay at the counter, then you find your own seat. Pretty cool and easy. Better than waiting for someone to seat you and then waiting for a waitress. Especially since I went here on my lunch hour. I ordered a caramel cold brew because I am so tired. Having insomnia is really difficult but the cold brew did its job. I also had the pumpkin spice french toast which is actually a biscuit. It had the most tastiest whipped cream or dollop of cream for the french toast. I got the 1/2 order as I wasn't too hungry I just wanted to try out this place. I'll give it 5 stars, it was great, it was quick, it was delicious and the staff were friendly. Can't ask for much else. read more

It was my first trip to Stella today. I'm so glad we went early because the reviews on Yelp are not wrong. The restaurant has a delicious menu for breakfast and lunch goers. The cashier was extremely friendly and helpful when it came to making a decision about which menu options to try. Since it was brunch I shared a carafe of Raspberry Mint Mimosa with my date. It was very tasty. I enjoyed the veggie frittata that was paired with a fresh strawberry salad. My date enjoyed the fried chicken and French toast. It was so tasty with the house pepper syrup. Both choices were great. I ended up purchasing a traveler's mug because it comes with unlimited refills for life. The server even offered to wash the new container before I left so I could have a drink to go. I also purchased some funny stickers to decorate my mug with. The restaurant was clean, bright, and family friendly. I definitely look forward to going back when I'm in College Station again. read more

The biscuits are the best. Hot, Light and fluffy! With butter and preserves; Delicious! Stone ground grits are not my favorite, but these are better than others I have tried at different restaurants. You place your order at the counter. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable. The table staff check on you just enough, not too much, not too little. The dining areas are nice and cozy. read more

Found from Yelp reviews. Passing through after a trip to Brenham. TX. Small & quaint yet enough space to seat many. It is a counter order then self seat environment. I decided to give the strawberry and beet salad a try and added shrimp. It came topped with a vinaigrette dressing. It was fresh, light and tasty. Glad to have stopped in en route towards home. read more

Southern biscuits and sausage gravey? No sausage in gravey! Come-on sausage gravey? How difficult is that?

First off I am NOT usually a French Toast person but when it's made with biscuits that changes. This place is the real deal. I got one of their seasonal French Toast dishes called " Holly Jolly French Toast" and it definitely made me much more jolly. It had a delicious combination of Cranberry Pomegranate Jam, White Chocolate Ganache, crushed Gingersnaps, and whipped Cream. Absolutely an epically delicious twist on traditional French Toast. The picture doesn't do this treat justice. I implore you to RUN here to try this before it's gone for the season. read more

I simply had to update my review because wow stella definitely now deserves 5 stars!!! This place goes above and beyond to make high quality, from scratch, flavorful food. My favorite for lunch is the shrimp and grits- it's the best in town and probably the best I have had. I also really enjoy their breakfast selections. Their homemade biscuits are amazing. This has become one of our go to place. Even more recently, they decided to go away from seed oils so that even gave them more points in my book. The kids meals are great- a good amount of food for a good price. I enjoy their lattes as well. One of my other favorites here is the veggie frittata with extra of the delicious dill sauce- I also like to get the cheese grits with it instead of the salad because i just can't eat a salad for breakfast. This place is a local gem and can get very busy but they have good and fast service. The inside of course is super cute and quaint- They were spot on with the style when they designed it. I'm craving this place as i write this review. It's a must try and very soon you'll become a regular visitor! read more

The line was long on a Sunday. I came to town to watch the A&M game the day before with some friends and so wanted to enjoy some good food the next day. After looking at reviews online I decided this place would be good and it did not disappoint. The food was great, portion was large and staff were kind and attentive. The restaurant has a lot of seating, indoors and out so didn't have to wait too long - would definitely come to wait in line again. read more

Nice breakfast options and coffees. You order at the front and then sit down and let the staff bring your food. Harvest frittata was good as was the biscuit sandwich. We were there on a game day, which as you can imagine was a bit busy so plan accordingly in such cases. read more

First time visit today. Had the "high on the hog" sandwich. Essentially it is a pulled pork sandwich- but it is very very good. Most places will "drown" the meat in sauce so that's all.you taste. Not the case here. The meat was well cooked, moist and full of flavor - sauce was just an accent. Will definitely be going back. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning on the weekend just before the Aggies start college. The place was packed! With this place, you place your order and pay up-front. Seeing how packed this place was, we were concerned that we wouldn't be able to find a seat after placing our order. However, Stella has an interesting solution for this. Before paying for our order, we would wait at the cashier until the staff finds available seating for us. That's just brilliant. And we were glad we waited instead of giving up. The food was worth it! Rise & Swine - large fried chicken breast, bacon and biscuits smothered with gravy, this is a good bet if you're hungry. The other items we tried - High On the Hog and Chicken & French Toast, were all delicious as well. Awesome food, nice interior, decent prices. We can see why this place is very popular! read more

Unlike typical breakfast spots, at Stella's you order your food prior to sitting down, nonetheless the service and food is spectacular!

Ordered food to be picked up. Arrived to pick it up 15 minutes after placing order. The estimated time for preparation was 10 to 15 minutes. Contacted the restaurant and they said they would get it right out. 25 minutes later still no food. If you're hungry, don't waste your time trying to pick up an order. read more
