The fresh baked bread makes the sandwiches here very special. The soups are also homemade and tasty. I recommend the Reuben sandwich. My only complaint is that there isn't enough meat in the sandwich, I feel a Reuben should be pretty stacked, although that might take away from the delicious bread. Also, you have option of baked chips, which is great. The desserts look really good, so save room if you are into that. read more

It's just ok. I don't get all the rave reviews. I have been here for lunch 3 times now, and have never had anything to rave over about it. The sandwiches are fair. The salad is good but nothing amazing Plus it's overpriced. I just don't get it. read more

Yum! Went here for breakfast, and it was delicious. Shared migas and a belgian waffle with my boyfriend. Also got a biscuit on the side, clearly made from scratch, flaking all over the place. The best part was the whipped cream. Can't wait to go back and try some of the bakery items. read more

They really try to attract the foodies with their fresh baked goods and creative dishes. If you enjoy the small town diner feel, you'll enjoy this restaurant. read more

I went to breakfast with my wife and I was so suprised at how good the food was. I had the quiche and it has incredible. We also got some muffins, they might be the best Ive ever had.. I highly recomend if your in the area to go try this place. If your not in the area but in the valley go out of your way.... Really good read more

Breakfast was good. The biscuits and gravy had chunks of sausages in it. Biscuits were flaky and buttery. Rest of the breakfast items were okay... Things most people could make at home. They were out of orange juice. Breakfast without OJ is a fail. There is no excuse for being out of OJ during breakfast hours. Minus one star for having Fox News and its moronic biased banter on as we were just trying to enjoy breakfast. It made food taste worse. read more

Great service! A gentleman (that I assume was the owner) not only helped us get our food more quickly, but also made great suggestions of what to put on my sandwich. Get the tortilla soup, it is delicious. All the food is very fresh. read more

Great homemade food. Syrup is made in house. The fruit dip is also unbelievable. Everything is homemade from scratch. Very cute, awesome little spot with great food. read more

Awesome food!!! A little pricy wish they had a breakfast platter with pancakes already included! Blueberry muffin is my favorite I like to cut it down the middle and add butter and grill it on the skillet I call it a grilled blueberry muffin. read more

Sweet Temptations is an amazing restaurant that I've never had any problems with. The staff is kind and both Marty & JP are always there to assist if anyone needs help. I would recommend the amazing tortilla soup! Grab a bowl, it'll last longer! read more

Got half a veggie sandwich with the tortilla soup. All the ingredients were high quality, from the bread to the vegetables to the cheese. Got the banana pie for dessert, also excellent. Great service too. Was lucky enough to grab a sheet cake at a discount which was for an event that didn't happen. Brought it with me to a friend's house and they haven't stopped telling me how much they loved it since. read more

I really liked this place. It was very full when I went but I didn't wait for a table or anything. The lemonade was delish! The food, I thought was pretty average.. I got the Chicken Cordon Bleu and I thought I can make the same thing at home from buying the box at sams. they let you take your drink after your done &prices are nice:) read more

I like this place but I never get there early enough for breakfast so I've only tried their quiche and soups, very tasty. Good coffee

We sampled omelettes, quiche and bacon and eggs. Everything was so delicious but the waffles were the star of our meal. The owners took time to talk to us and the waitress was spunky and on it. I loved the dark magic coffee and the I am definitely coming back. read more

Love this place for lunch. The stuffed avocado, stuffed tomato, and the meatloaf are great! Oh, and you HAVE to have some homemade pie....just fabulous ;-) read more

Great little spot for breakfast. Had the works omelet with OJ can't go wrong with that

Great food!! While visiting family in town, I was looking forward to having some breakfast (since other reviews raved about it) but just missed the cutoff. Instead I had a tuna melt with tortilla soup and I was not disappointed. Portions are generous and taste amazing. Would definitely eat here again. read more

The food and service at this place is always good. Love the tortilla soup here! The chicken fried steak is big enough for two people and their desserts are fantastic. read more

The Carmel Banana Pie is SINFUL! That is probably the best pie in the entire world. Simply made with bananas and tons of carmel and whipped cream. It's out of this world and their mot popular dessert. Honestly, that's all I go there for. The food is just average but it's a good break from tacos and the other chain restaurants in the Valley. read more

Best waffle ever! Owner took the time to talk to us even when the place was so busy. Definitely coming back!

Loved this little place- It turned out to be a great brunch place to bring our dog, too! There's a few outdoor tables (if you can stand the heat) where we enjoyed people watching from. Delicious food & friendly staff! read more

What a nice place that has had almost no turnover in the people that work here. The food is Great, very friendly people that remember who you are and actually will carry a conversaion with the customers. I like have on Saturdays the TV on FOX News and the general atmosphere. This is my fav place in McAllen. read more

Cozy little place for breakfast or lunch. Not noisy, good service and the owner is always there. Food is Mexican and tasty.

It has been a while since we have visited this restaurant. I loved their waffles and chicken. Got to meet the owners and this is something you don't see often. I highly recommend this awesome restaurant and we will be back again soon. read more

I had a vegetable omelette from here and tasted orange juice, pancake, bacon, and zucchini muffin. Personally, vegetable omelette was a 3. I didn't find anything special except that cheese was consistently present through every bite. Bacon was thick but crunchy like chips. Orange juice had lots of pulp (which I like) but had a creamy taste. The pancake was fluffy and big and is better than from other breakfast chain restaurant. Zucchini muffin was surprisingly good (could hardly taste the zucchini) and had a good texture (chewy on the outside and moist on the inside). Although there were many people in the restaurant (people were waiting to be seated), the service was good. At the end of the meal, the owner came to get our plates and asked how the meal was. Judging from the crowd size, I'd give it a 4-5! But the vegetable omelette was def a 3 for me. I'd give it a 3.4 overall if I could based on my overall experience. However I do want to go back and try their lunch because of their popularity! read more

This is the second time I have been here. Both times excellent service. My friend and I ordered the chicken salad plate. One with fruit, the other with pasta salad. It was so good that we ordered the same on our second visit. Huge serving and excellent flavor! read more

A co worker brought over a caramel banana pie to work, they couldn't keep us away from the launch, it was amazingly delicious! I personally love it... read more

OMG! Hands down the best place for a "homemade lunch." Service is always great and staff is friendly. I have to say the meatloaf is my favorite meal there. I get mine with mashed potatoes and gravy and steamed veggies. Their tortilla soup is also amazingly good! A bit spicy, but delicious! I love their flavored teas. Hands down my favorite lunch place! read more

Good management, friendly staff. I need to stay away from there on a regular basis, because their biscuits and gravy is the BEST I have had, definitely put weight on me. Thick cut bacon, how can you go wrong ? read more

I had the pancakes with bacon and orange juice. The food was good overall. Service was really good despite the fact that there was a lot of people. I would go back to try their desserts. read more

Sweet Temptations - Pancakes with bacon and freshly squeezed orange juice - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Today was my first time here, but it will not be my last. Val, the server, recommended the pecan flavored coffee along with the omelette. It was so good. While my girlfriend and I waited for our food I initiated small talk with Val about lunch items on the menu. Without asking him he brought over samples of their homemade soups. I thought that was a nice gesture. We sampled lobster bisque, broccoli and cheese, potato soup, chicken noodle, and my favorite, chicken tortilla soup. I highly recommend this place for both the service and the food! read more

This place was great! We had found it on yelp because we are from out of town and it I loved it. We had a party of 8 and still got seated right away. I had chicken, broccoli, and cheese quiche and it was delicious. Someone in my party had pancakes and I wish I had gotten pancakes they were so good when I tried them!! They make their own syrup here too. The owners are so nice and friendly. read more

I have to preface with this. Sweet Temptations will never be the same as it was in its old location with all the old lady waitresses. I mean what happened to them? New location and they all just lost their jobs? The food back then was absolutely amazingggg!! I mean everything tasted fresh and homemade with TLC. Now the food is still good but it's gone from 5 stars to 4 stars IMO. The potato soup, lasagna, and sandwiches are pretty tasty, and their desserts are always a good choice if you feel like doing that to yourself. I still miss the old Sweet Temptations on Pecan. read more

Awesome breakfast with great service. Clean and timely surroundings. Had special request for meal and waiter gladly accommodated. Would eat here again. Plus fresh squeezed OJ. read more

Nice atmosphere, has a small town cafe feeling. The ham and cheese omelet and coffee were very good.

Over cooked breakfast. Eggs had skillet burns and bacon was over fried, couldn't bite into it. People seem to rave the muffins but the sugar is high that it's hard to taste the flavor of the muffin. I ordered a carrot but only tasted of white sugar. The food is homemade. That's what people seem to enjoy but nothing great tasting about it. read more

Stopped here for breakfast. What a surprise. Great menu and everything is well prepared. The service is excellent. Try the Migas. Yum. I will definitely be back. read more

What a great place this is for breakfast! Fresh eggs perfectly cooked to order, fantastic omlettes, tasty seasoned potatoes, great tasting ham on the side. Our waiter brought a small bowl of warmed salsa to the table with our orders. Talk about a nice touch! Did I mention that the toast is made from bread prepared at the restaurant. What a great way to start the day! I will be back next time I'm in McAllen. read more

The place is small, a but over priced BUT the service is always excellent and they do have some VERY delicious foods/desserts. It's not a chain or a crappy so called "Mexican" restaurant (too many bad ones around here)! Definitely recommend this place worth the wait (they actually cook your food)!!!!! read more

this is the lunch place in north McAllen. They bake their own breads and the sandwiches are leagues above the average. Quiche of the day never disappoints, nor do the soups. Meatloaf is better than mom's, hot or cold.The entrees are great especially the fish. Wait staff is courteous, competent and quick. Worth driving out of your way, just wish the dining room was bigger. read more
