Tried it for the first time after driving by for years, and glad I finally did! Very casual place with very attentive service and good variety of offerings. Got there at 11:00am and place was empty, but within 30 minutes it was packed. Table enjoyed brunch items - honey biscuit chicken sandwich, fish tacos (only on Fridays), and Texas egg scramble. The sandwich was loaded and and it least 5 inches high. The chicken was light and crispy and moist, and the biscuit was homemade too. The fish tacos were huge and tasty, as was the egg scramble. Will I go back? For sure! read more

On Sunday, my husband and I went for brunch at Tapester's. First time. Delicious food. Good service with friendly staff. Low music, so one could actually converse. Free parking. What's not to like? You should add this to your brunch places -- and maybe other meals, too. read more

Went here 8/11. The drink was supposed to be frozen & it wasn't. There was only 1 occupied table. But the main thing was the owners son brought my food & he tripped or something & the hot fries landed on me. My pants were stained with grease that didn't come out. There was no -can I take this off the bill or can I get u a dessert. Or can I pay for your pants . There was nothing. I said something to him & he was totally clueless. Plus my sandwich was horrible on top of that. And the restaurant smelled from the sewer system next door. Do not go there. Horrible experience all around.... read more

Looking for a hardy breakfast sandwich? Look no more... the little neighbor gem has a variety of items to satisfy any palette. Great for a casual family or friend a gathering. If you live in the hood give this place a try. The service is friendly and helpful. Order at the counter. Get your soda, condiments, flatware and napkins and then grab a seat while you wait for your food. They have inside and outside dining. I ordered the Honey Buttermilk Fried Chicken sandwich with gravy on the side and no cheese. The runny egg, crispy chicken, crispy hash browns, nestled in a giant flaky, buttery biscuit. Yum Delicious and satisfying. I would come back for brunch. read more

This is a great stop to anywhere near the beechnut/610 area! We stopped for a quick breakfast before some events. Great price, nice people, good seating, very clean, and AWESOME coffee (that's a nurse's review). This is a local place that deserves the business. Have a breakfast sit down or on the go. (Nurses love tacos- these were perfect!) read more

I was looking for a breakfast spot in the Meyerland area and Tapester's Grill was one of the top rated places. It's been around for a little bit and the reviews speak for themselves. My date and I arrived for a late breakfast on a Sunday morning. The restaurant anchors a little shopping strip so parking was easy that day. I was expecting more of a crowd but I also could have missed it since it was closer to lunch when we arrived. The hours do vary so make sure and check times before coming. This is an order at the counter kind of spot. We had to let a few people pass us as we were undecided like usual. They do have some pastries on display and their coffee is on the counter for self service. Customer service was friendly and helpful. I'm a big breakfast guy so my eyes went straight to that part of the menu. I saw their famous Stickee Cinnamon Bun and had to get that. I was very excited for it because I am a cinnamon roll aficionado. Spoiler alert, it really wasn't a traditional cinnamon roll. It wasn't bad, but it was more cakey and had a very caramel forward taste to it. Just not what I was hoping for. My entree of choice was the eggs benedict but I substituted crispy chicken for the ham. Their version is served with a buttermilk biscuit instead of an English muffin. I thought it was a pretty solid benny. The poached egg was cooked perfectly and the hollandaise was done just right. The side of hash browns were cooked like I like. They were crispy on the outside but still had some fluffiness on the inside. They could of used a little more seasoning though. My date got the huevos rancheros. I thought this was an excellent dish. I typically never look at that on a menu, but this dish will have me considering it in the future. We shared a single pancake which was a generous size on it's own. I'd get it again. We washed it all down with Katz coffee which you have a few options to pick from. They do have a nice selection of adult breakfast beverages, coffees and teas as well. Tapester's is a solid option when it comes to breakfast. I'd come back. read more

My husband and I visited Tapesters Grill many years ago when it first opened, we had a pretty bad experience with the food so never returned. Having read some positive reviews on Nextdoor , we thought we would give it a 2nd try, happy to find a good local eatery in our neighborhood. So disappointing ! Without an ounce of ambiance. The clue should have been there was only one table occupied at 7pm . We both ordered burgers , mine the buffalo one. Once arrived both burgers were overcooked , neither juicy and pretty dry. The buns are dense and not at all tasty. We ordered a side of Mac and cheese which was fair and the French fries were hot. We drank water with one glass of house of white wine . Our bill was $44.00. When the waitress asked how our meal was , I told her I could not eat my burger as it was overcooked. I ate some fries and macaroni , left my burger and bun. There was an apology but no other offer of a refund for poor quality food. We will not return .We will never recommend. read more

AWESOME!!! Fantastic friendly , knowledgeable staff & a great atmosphere! Food is excellent and plenty of it! Prices are really reasonable and the menu is HUGE! Our first time, we came for lunch, great crowd. We'll be back again and again to try more of all the food on this menu & just to hang out! Magnificent place!!! read more

Food was excellent. Comfort food and familiar dishes on the menu. The vegetables are homemade and tastes like mom used to make.

Cute place on Beechnut for dinner with a large group of friends. My husband loved his mushroom burger and fries. The chicken tortilla soup was okay. It was served with a hot, warm roll which was good. The restaurant was fairly empty which was great for our party of 16. Easy to switch seats to catch up with friends. Parking was easy at the restaurant as it was not that busy. Note: They close at 8 PM on Saturdays. Would come here early if you want to chat with your friends. (Or you'll be talking in the parking lot after they close.) read more

Met a few girlfriends for lunch for the first time - really enjoyed it - definitely a repeat! Our table split a carafe of mimosas, had an iced coffee and ice tea. Our group had the truffle fries and fried pickles, the cali chicken sandwich and mac and cheese, and the fried rib eye steak. ALL DELISH! The waitstaff was great and super friendly - very much a neighborhood kind of place. read more

Picked up food to have at home. The smothered chicken was fine. The other food: squash casserole and mashed potatoes were not seasoned and not good. The "gravy" was flour, some viscous moisture, and absolutely nothing else. The salad was chopped iceberg with a few croutons. This is the 3rd time I have had Tapesters, the other 2 times in the last 4 years have been just as disappointing. It is a shame because I want them to be great, it would be nice to have a local place with decent food. Please do better! read more

We tried Tapester's Grill today and had a terrific experience. Service was great- staff was very friendly- and our meal was excellent. We ordered the bananas foster pancakes with eggs and bacon, and the breakfast enchilada special. Was plenty of food for 3 ppl. We will certainly be back. read more

Worst dining experience of my life! Food took over fifty (50!) minutes to arrive, and the staff was unbelievably rude. I will never return.

We were out-of-towners looking for a spot in the area to eat a good hamburger, and have a beer. We were delighted to find this place on yelp. It was very Clean, plain, simple, relaxing ambiance. . service was patient with us old people's questioning. they explained their specialty drinks and food items in detail. Even gave us a few draft beer tastes. We opt for the specialty frozen mimosa topper w port wine!! Goody!! Our food was Very delicious. I ordered a cheese burger. Juicy, flavorful, homemade bun. YumO! And HOMEMADE onion rings! YumOO! All was very fresh. It was easy on our coin purses too. When in Houston near MDAnderson I will be going back!!! I love when you pick a spot and it's just what you were feeling Thanks yall. Yall did a fine job. read more

This biscuit, egg, pan sausage and hash brown breakfast is awesome. Every bite is highly enjoyable. The service has an old country feel to it. The ambiance was of a small Texas town on a Saturday morning. Nice throwback feel and simple arrangements. read more

Everything was delicious. A hidden gem. I've passed this place a few times and never thought to stop. I'm so glad I was in the area and it came up on my Yelp search. I had the honey butter biscuit chicken sandwich and it was so good and so big! You can't even hold it all at once to bite it. I had to cut it into at least 5 pieces to eat the whole thing. It had LAYERS!!! Each layer just as delicious as the last. This is such a beautiful place to be lowkey in and enjoy a private, intimate conversation, or just enjoy great food and vibe. They have mimosas and drinks too. It's an all around beautiful place and the service is excellent. The cashier is also the waitress and she doesn't miss a step at any moment. She is perfect. I'm so glad I found this place, I'll be back. read more

Heard about this place from friends who eat there often. For me, it's everything I was hoping for. The food selection was great and had lots of sandwiches I was considering. However, when I found out they do brunch everyday, I went with the corned beef hash and eggs for lunch. Some of the best I've had highlighted by large pieces of grilled meat. Awesome! The staff, from the greetings when you walk in -to the owner dropping by each table could not have been more friendly. This is definitely the type of place I wish was in MY neighborhood! I'll be going again in the near future.. read more

Awesome family-run spot with good coffee and great food. Show up before 11am to get the breakfast tacos. They were able to make a great vegan one with potatoes, avocado, and black beans with their homemade salsa. Good coffee too. read more

We stopped by with a friend group and the place was getting packed with the Sunday lunch crowd! We came because heard about their famous HUGE honey butter chicken biscuit. It did not disappoint. For $15, it's practically 2 meals. I would however not order it spicy again since the flavor of the actual chicken biscuit got drowned under all the tabesco. The speed of the staff are great and they're nice. You go in and order at the front and then seat yourself. The breakfast tacos ($13) were pretty good too. The tortilla chip strips add a good crunchy texture. Although if you make a decent breakfast taco at home yourself, I would pass on this. It basically tastes like something i can make at home for less than half the price. Nonetheless, it's a good brunch place if you're in the area. read more

We stopped for breakfast at 9:45 Tuesday 1-23. We ordered at the front door. My wife said her coffee was excellent. It went downhill from there. I ordered an eggs Benedict and a fountain beverage. I got a Dr Pepper but the taste was not anything like the Dr Pepper that I drink gallons of. When my eggs Benedict arrived it the poached eggs were so overcooked they resembled hard boiled eggs. They also had been cooked with way too much vinegar and the vinegar as the only noticeable flavor. Trying to wash Don the over cooked eggs I went back to get a new fountain drink. I tried their house brand cola but it came out the color of mild tea. I tried their black cherry flavor. It came out yellow and tasted awful. I gave up and left the restaurant never to return again. read more

I've been here twice now for brunch and have ordered different things. The first time, I tried the honey buttermilk chicken sandwich because my friends all raved about how good it was. Just a warning if you do order that- share with one or two friends! The dish is very heavy and I couldn't even eat half of the dish in one sitting. All the ingredients in the sandwich paired together really well was really delicious. The second time, I opted for something less heavy and ordered the brunch tacos, also on a friend's recommendation. I think they could've used a bit more salt, but enjoyed the crunchiness that the tortilla strips added. Overall, very yummy spot for brunch! read more

This was my first time at Tapester's Grill. The service was impeccable. We were celebrating my mother's 91st birthday. Our table was ready when we got there. We were cheerfully greeted right away, given time to review the menu and we ordered soon afterwards. I ordered the French toast and fried chicken. Boy, was it good. The mimosas were delicious and the food was most outstanding. I look forward to returning! read more

I've been here a handful of times, enough to get a sense of most of this place's offerings. In summary, its value is quite par but can deliver if you're seriously into American style food/brunch. The Salmon Bagel is delivered with a side of Capers and is very generously portioned. A hearty dosing of hash Browns accompanies the bagel on the side, and is sure to leave any one full. Two smaller folks can probably split this dish as well. Of lesser value was the breakfast tacos, which was $13.00 for three moderately sized tacos. However, the flavor was overwhelmingly lacking. No real spice, though the tortilla strips added an interesting crunch to the blandness. If you're after good tacos, you can do much, much better than here. Last, the honey butter chicken biscuit sandwich. This behemoth of a dish is literally the size of a human stomach and will easily feed two adults. It left me feeling sick for the rest of the day though, so the cholesterol/carb content must be astronomically high. Service is excellent and competitive for any American brunch restaurant. They were able to accommodate a very large party of 15+ on no notice. The ambience is that is that of a cozy hole in the wall spot with sports playing on tv's in the background. read more

Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try since it's dog friendly and I prefer to bring my pooch along with the fam on the weekends. They have a small outdoor patio in the front for couples (tables seat two) and a larger patio out behind the building with larger tables for larger groups. As for the food, it was ok. I had the Beechnut breakfast. Presentation wasn't great and everything was stacked on top of each other on the plate which I don't prefer with runny eggs being on top of crunchy hash browns. The bacon wasn't cooked very well which I did not like but my dog did :) All in all, it has decent food, is convenient and is dog friendly so if those are the qualities you are looking for in a brunch spot head on over. read more
