The omelet my wife ordered was pretty good. She got to pick whether she wanted 2 or 4 eggs, she picked 2, and she she had a choice of 5 things to put in it, most places you have to get 3 eggs and 3 choices. These options are good and the omelet was pretty good. I saw a hot roast beef sammich and assumed it would be open faced with gravy, nope. It was hot roast beef on a bagguette with the option of tomato, lettuce and mayo....when they gave me these options i was pretty sure what i thought it was...wasn't so...i declined the mayo. All in all it was still a good sammy. Both items were closer to 3 and 1/2 stars but i'm rounding up. Order the food at the counter, they call your number and you go pick it up. read more

Either Yelp or restaurant has it wrong. This facility does not serve avocado toast as an entree. They do have a extensive options on the menu but I didn't try any of them on this visit read more

If you like your food to be bland this is the place. I don't recommend you coming here if you're a foodie or chef. This place is for people who don't know how to cook and never tried tasteful dishes. All the good reviews have to be a lie! Food reminds me of nasty school cafeteria food, or maybe prison food, never been but just saying. House of pies or toasted yolk is where to go for brunch in this area. "The French House" the name sounds, "exquisite, delightfully delicious", and not to mention "French". Walked inside and nothing appeared "French" about this place. It seemed more of a not too run down Chinese restaurant, that's as far as appearance goes. So I was debating whether or not to leave or stay. Well I sure did stay, thought maybe the breakfast won't be that bad. Hey, you can't go wrong with eggs and toast! Wrong! Ordered 2 country breakfast, 1 coffee and 1 orange juice, total a little over $50. Completely regretted the stay. The hash browns being the worst, taste was rancid, they were mushy and had sort of a rosemary taste but nasty. Toast was stale just too hard, adding butter to them wouldn't even soften them up. Sausage patties and bacon were just dry not savory or juicy at all. The eggs seemed fine but after trying everything my appetite was gone. Took this photo got up and left. The coffee, orange juice and fountain water were the only normal tasting items. I wish my experience could've been better. I'm not overly exaggerating here either. House of pies is the way to go for breakfast and a lot cheaper. Never again. Also if you do come here you first walk in and place your order at the counter, pay, they give you the cups for your drinks that you self serve, go sit and wait for your order to be called, then go grab it, no waiters. Awkward feeling type of environment too. One star for good beverages. read more

First time visit, and it was for breakfast. All I had was a cup of coffee and a slice of Spinach Quiche. The quiche was just a little different from what I am used to eating. The filling was softer (not as firm) as other quiche I have had in the past (or baked at home). It wasn't bad, just different. Unfortunately, the pie crust was a little too thick at the end (not the bottom). I usually eat that big piece of crust on any pie as a treat as the last few bites. In this case, it was just too thick, and not as flaky as I like, and I did not bother finishing it. The serving was slightly larger than I expected, which was nice. But, it needed a little something with it, such as a small salad (not unusual with a slice of quiche). With that said, the flavor of the quiche was good and I might have it again when/if I return. read more

Very impressed with both the quality and quantity of food served on my French toast breakfast today! Ordered eggs soft scrambled and bacon crisp - and they absolutely nailed it. The French toast itself was crusty around the edges and soft in the middle - just the way it's supposed to be. One of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time. My wife and I actually chose this place because of the waffle breakfast shown so prominently on their page. Turns out they only serve the waffle on the weekend - so we were initially letdown. I was also disappointed in the coffee - it wasn't up to what I was expecting and I don't like the 4 oz mugs. Also, the syrup should be warm rather than chilly. I hundred percent recommend stopping by this little strip mall location on Westheimer if you're in the area looking for a delicious breakfast or lunch. read more

The French House - Pancake Breakfast includes two eggs and choice of meat. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I see a lot of fils like this place, but it's a ok place to me. I consider it a expensive knock off of La Madeleine. The inside looks more like a diner than a French cafe. The display near the register had some deserts that I may try in my next visit. The menu is simple and direct. I did see some sandwiches and soups that folks were getting and they looked good. Unlike La Madeleine, you have to place your order and pick it up from the counter in most cases. The presentation gets a B. The monogram plates was a nice touch. My omelette was not runny with a little fluff and that's a plus. The waffle was perfectly cooked, golden brown and the syrup and berries with whipped cream brought the right balance of sweet and savory. This is a spot you would go to as an alternative to your weekend breakfast spot. Not every weekend, but if your regular spot is crammed with folks then this could be your "one in the pocket". read more

You need to post your true hours so people don't bother to drive there. I arrived at 1:48 with what I thought was plenty of time to throw some chicken salad on a croissant and grab a bag of chips before the 2pm closing time but "closed" sign up on the door with people eating inside. When I asked I was told kitchen closes at 1:50. By my calculation, it was there before your unlisted closing time but if you don't want the business, I don't care to give it to you! Plenty to eat in Houston but please update your closing time and save people time and frustration as we aren't mind readers for what time you feel like closing. read more

I like this little diner. Owners appear to be a couple that works hard behind the counter. This is my first time here although I later noticed on Sunday around 10am, I was slowly getting surrounded by regulars. These type of places are nice to go to where the regulars trust the people and service. The pancake breakfast came with 2 pancakes (which I couldn't finish because I was full), 2 eggs, & I chose sausage. I was just driving through and usually do not have spare time to sit and relax. This was a nice place to have a relaxing breakfast read more

First time visiting this place, no signage or direction on where to order or sitting down. So we sat down, grab some menus off a table only to discover you had to order at the register. Food was not that good. Sausage patties were like hockey pucks, hard and dry Eggs were good. Hard to mess those up though. Ended up eating about half of our meals. Definitely not worth the money. read more

My first visit to this cute little place inside a strip mall; It's just a few steps off of WestheimeAbout 20 tables, spotlessly clean. It appears that everything is made fresh. They have soup, interesting salads, sandwiches and full breakfast. Today we are trying French onion soup, egg salad half sandwich, California half sandwich and potato salad with parsley pesto in it. I am sure we will return when we are in this neck of the woods. read more

So cute! It felt like we were in Europe eating at a french restaurant. It looks scary outside but once you go in you're transported. The waffle was so yummy and there was a lot of food. I got the waffle plate and my boyfriend got the french toast plate. We could've done with getting one plate and getting a plain waffle on the side because it was so much food. The service was chill, you just order at the counter and they call you when the food is ready. Very cute little spot and I can't wait to come back again. read more

First time. Order from counter and server maybe owner quite abrupt. Saw that soup of the day was 'cold cucumber' and was told it was french oinion. Actually have the same 4 soups everyday.

Nice atmosphere.Great buttery scrambled eggs. Piping hot pancake. Good service. Sausage patty was the only mediocre part.

Hashbrowns is like he supersize version of Denny's. Must get if I love hash browns. I like this quiet place to enjoy breakfast. They have specials on the weekdays for the early birds. My husband lunch the chicken salad sandwich. We normally go here for breakfast when we come in town since we moved. Can't go wrong, pick anything on the menu. I want this place here after Covid, please support! I will cry if they ever left cause they are one of the best mom and pop small business I know. read more

The French House - Order Counter- fast, efficient, and courteous! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

It's a favorite place and excellent food. Huge salads and delicious egg dishes! Coffee is also very good.

THe food is great and I have been going here since the original French couple started it. The current owners have kept the recipes but not the attitude. They act like you should be happy they are willing to help as opposed to making an effort to make the experience good. I ordered a pick up by mistake and wanted them to simply delete the order so I could switch to delivery and the owner first said he could do nothing and when I called back he literally hung up on me. Enjoy the food bu be prepared for some rudeness. read more

I was craving a waffle and quiche! This was the perfect place to find them. They are located in a shopping center with very busy parking lot. It was worth the hassle for that quiche. You order at the cash register and they give you a number on your receipt to be listening out for when they call it out. Seat yourself not very busy for a Saturday brunch time. I would return. read more

not as french as i thought it would be, my bad for reading too much into it's name "French House", food wasnot bad, just not very French

Been in Houston for a little under two months and had a delightful little breakfast at this gem of a place. Absolutely had the most delicious French toast in Houston so far... Coffee was served nice and hot and the French toast special that came with two eggs, some bacon and light buttery French toast was exactly what I was craving on Sunday morning. The French toast IMHO was cooked to perfection, not overcooked, not undercooked, not hard, not too soft and it tasted so so perfect that I wanted to order another batch but had to stop myself. I could go on and on about this French toast. Order it and savor it. Didn't expect self service as I didn't read the reviews prior but owner gave great service and it was quick and painless at 9 AM in the morning when most Houstonians are just getting ready to hit the restaurants (you have to be a Houstonian to understand that breakfast is a serious tall order on Sundays...lines a plenty and hungry Texans everywhere lol). Totally worth the $34+ breakfast. Yummy, yummy, yummy, a must try if you're in H-town. read more

Dined there for the first time with 2 friends and will be the last. The lady behind counter could care less about taking our order - I wanted poached eggs with classic breakfast- was told they don't do poached eggs. Waffles were not a choice because they are only done Friday-Sunday . I settled on a piece of quiche Lorraine and fruit cup which I was told would be grapes and cantaloupe. When order arrived the quiche was not completely cooked with undone crust on bottom - rather then small pieces of ham - there were large slices of deli ham. The grapes were not fresh and crunchy. When the quiche was returned the gentleman behind counter said that was not the only piece returned. That day. He did offer to do something else and when I declined did not offer a refund.. All in all it was memorable experience but not in a good way. read more

So I had never heard of this place before, but I was looking for a new breakfast spot and decided to try it out because of all the good reviews. It's a decently-sized restaurant with plenty of seating. I got the 4 egg omelette with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, bacon, and cheddar cheese. I also got two slices of toasted rye bread with butter on the side. The omelette was huge! It tasted good, but I still had to add salsa to get the flavor to exactly where I wanted it. Bread was fine. Can't demand too much from toast! Entire meal came out to $13 + tip. One weird thing was that you seat yourself, and the servers bring your food to you. However, when my food was ready, they called me to the counter to get it myself. Normally I wouldn't care about that at all, but I thought that was a little strange, considering I watched them bring food to other tables. Food was good, and the service was fine (despite the above weirdness). It's in the same shopping center as Nu Ice, so there's a ton of parking as well. I may be back to try some of their appetizing desserts! read more

Very inconspicuous joint tucked away in a Westheimer strip mall. I drove past a few times and had to check out. It's these type of places that don't mess around when it comes to food. Came on a Sunday morning right at opening time. Owner is up front nice as can be and recs the waffle. Says it's his recipe and I won't be disappointed. Got some eggs n bakie on the side too. Dude this waffle...the waffle... it brought me to another galaxy, far, far away where rainbows and unicorns run wild. It was so perfect. Best waffle I've ever had. Simple with some berries and sweet whipped cream. Lunch looks great too. Coming back for a sandwich or salad. Owner is nice, food great, decor little dated but it adds to the experience. read more

The French House - Waf Eggies n Bakers - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Food was good but not having a server at that price point was disappointing. The whole order set up was awkward.

Pros: The most delicious pancake ever. Folks this pancake was soooooo delicious! Wow! Big & yummy! Very strong coffee. Great robust flavor. I cld drink a gallon of it lol & yummy croissant. Cons: Egg white omelet was huge bt grotesque. The middle of it was runny actually looked like pus oozing out the middle.. I'm not sure what the cook was thinking actually taking it off the grill in a semi-liquid state and serving it. I returned it right away& replaced it with scrambled egg whites. Can't go wrong with tht. Owner was not very friendly, no smile just a mean stare lol so weird but he allowed me to return the omelet when he saw it So I can't complain. Wld probably go bk if I'm craving pancakes. Their waffles looked good too. read more

Great spot for a picture-perfect waffle. Husband and I were on a mission to find waffles this morning. We went by a couple of places and everywhere was either packed or "out of waffles" (lol how can that even happen). We actually stopped at crate and barrel to buy a waffle iron we were so desperate. But then someone recommended The French House! We were close by so we headed over. It's counter service, very clean and has an old-school charm. I'd describe it as a traditional diner with a French twist on the decor. We each ordered a waffle and it was light, crispy and delicious. It's sprinkled with powdered sugar and comes with a generous helping of whipped cream and fruit on the side. We also each had a cappuccino that was surprisingly great. The syrup wasn't maple, but still very delicious. Just a traditional breakfast syrup. Husband ordered eggs and sausage with his waffle. I asked him how the eggs and sausage were, and he said "tasted like eggs and sausage" lol so the waffle was definitely the star of the show. The other breakfast items looked yummy! I would definitely like to explore it. The clientele were a little older and all seemed to be regulars and know each other. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and craving a great waffle! read more

I checked out The French House with one of my coworkers for lunch. They're located in the same shopping center as Zabak's and several other businesses so parking shouldn't be a problem. The restaurant is really nondescript from the outside but looks like your normal, everyday cafe inside. You order at the counter and then they bring your food to you. They're only open for breakfast and lunch but they serve breakfast during lunch time as well. I decided to go with the grilled chicken sandwich: small, sliced pieces of chicken breast with lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a French baguette. They also had freshly-squeezed OJ that was highly recommended on Yelp so I got a small juice too. The sandwich wasn't the greatest. I was expecting a sandwich-size piece of grilled chicken rather than small pieces of chicken. The chicken was also very dry and lacked flavor. It could have used a marinade and it seemed overcooked. You don't get a side order with your sandwiches so that was a bummer too. While the sandwich was affordable at less than $10, it wasn't worth it. Maybe I'll come back to see how their breakfast fares. read more
