We love the House Cafe! Small environment but good home made food and staff are great people.

Great down home breakfast food. We were sat very quickly by friendly host. Our waitress Linda was the absolute best. Food was hot and delish, generous servings. Biscuits and gravy and pancakes were super tasty. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Being new to the area, I looked to Yelp to direct me and I think either I'm too picky or it was just an off day for this restaurant. The service was okay, the food, furniture, and decor, not so much. I ordered the Spanish omelet with country potatoes and toast. Now that I think back to it, I never did get my toast! The omelet was messy and needed salsa to taste decent. The potatoes looked so dry they could have been mistaken for rocks, though they did have a soft center. Coffee was pretty bland as well. My SO got a waffle, eggs and sausage. I tasted the waffle and it was not the least bit crispy, very doughy though. As I said, it could be I caught the cooks on an off day or perhaps I just ordered something that is not often made. No clue, but I'm not going back. read more

Very good breakfast. Coffee is decent. Lots of people but not overly crowded. Have the number 10 although it would've been better with sausage instead of the ground beef. I would like to go back and try the Migas. Cute little place with lots of old timers, so you know it must be good. . . read more

I don't know how you screw up bacon, but I had 1 bite of my breakfast bacon and couldn't do it anymore. I can't even explain what was wrong with it, but it just tasted wrong. I also ordered diet coke and for some reason they only had dr. pepper. Again, weird. The rest of the breakfast was just okay. Eggs were eggs, but the biscuits and gravy were pretty good. The hash browns were just okay, too. Honestly if it wasn't for the gravy and biscuits this'd be a 1 star. read more

A good basic 7-days a week breakfast and lunch spot: there are no culinary discoveries here, just good basic food at reasonable costs. With breakfast all day and 20 specials at $5.95 each, and even more offerings if you are more hungry, you decide how much you want to eat and pay. I had the #10 (scrambled eggs with ground beef, peppers and onions with a side of roasted potatoes and 2-biscuits with gravy) with iced tea: very tasty. Staff are very friendly, bilingual, and eager to please. read more

Hole-in-the-wall breakfast spot in Richardson. Not overly busy. Friendly staff. Food came out in a timely manner && coffee refills were brought without asking. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The food is AMAZING and the staff is even better. Come here every time I'm in Richardson.

Left one star so I could leave a review. Noon and only two other tables. This should have been a sign. Wanted lunch but I asked if the chicken fried steak was fresh and breaded in house and was informed that nothing was done fresh. Decided on breakfast. Eggs were good, bacon was tasteless, hashbrowns good, toast was stale and dry. Server never came back buy to refill drinks. While eating chocolate pie (was the worse pie I have ever had, buy frozen would be better) watched a server drop a napkin on the floor, bent down picked it up and used to roll silverware into it. Then the women bathroom was always full with employees. The last employee shocked me. The men's restroom had a customer in it so a male employee went into the ladies. There was a customer waiting. Will never return or recommend this place. read more

Fantastic neighborhood cafe. Staff very friendly. Food was great and decent portions. Will return read more

Good local dive for breakfast. For being so busy they could fix up the place a little and that is why I didn't give it 5 stars.

We have been here many times but today was bad. Seated right away and they did ask what we wanted to drink but then it took almost 10 minutes to get them because it had to be our server to bring it????? Then we shared an omelet which was good but we never got a refill on our drinks or a visit from our server to see if it was good. When we went to pay we were overcharged. Bad experience, don't know if we will be back. read more

We have visited here a few times recently and the food is very consistent. I really like their coffee. The people are all very friendly and I see they have a lot of regular customers. I am a fan! read more

Food was middle of the road. Gravy was bland like most of the food. The steak had great flavor. But the kicker and this kills most restaurants is the service. Had to wait a very long time between drinks to the point had to stop eating until she showed back up. Interior of place needs cleaned / updated. read more

This place is always packed,but the service is awesome. There's barely any wait time for your food and it taste great! Prices are pretty good for some homecooked breakfast. Definitely go here again if I had the chance. read more

This is our go to place for a quick yummy breakfast! Nothing fancy but they have great service and the food is always fast and fresh!! The homemade salsa is SO good make sure to get it!! Always busy and they are fast to seat you great place to visit. read more

My breakfast was delicious. I had a waffle with strawberries and whip cream. I got diarrhea though which was a little unusual so I think the strawberries might have been old. Our waitress was rude and loud. I didn't like that. Everything we asked for she felt like she needed to tell us that it's gonna cost more over and over again. It got annoying if I couldn't afford my meal I wouldn't have went. So because of her I give it a 4 today but I would definitely go back and recommend anyone to go for a nice cheap breakfast. read more

Basic and good had hash browns and scrambled eggs, hash was a bit under clocked Food came out very fast, It's like a family Waffle House Couldn't give more then 3 stars because i has a very basic meal read more

This spot deserves 5 stars not because it's a 5 star restaurant, but because it's a the perfect hole in the wall breakfast joint. Food is good, staff is good, place is clean, and inexpensive. read more

Great food for a fair price! Very warm and friendly atmosphere with outstanding service. Will definitely come back read more

I wish I could give a zero star. I walked in for the first time today with my spouse. As soon I walked I was not greeted. I actually was barked about by some lady behind a counter. She keep yelling "go to the back go to the back". I was so put off by her tone, lack of professionalism, and utter rudeness. Then we walked to the back , again no one greeted us or gave directions. We didn't know if we had to wait for a server to seat us or seat ourselves. Once seated finally someone came to the table. I explained to them dissatisfaction with the last in the front. The server did not care at all. We ended up leaving and will never return. I wouldn't recommend this place to a stray dog. read more

Food is usually so good. Typically we just get take out but today we decided to go in and no one talked to us for about 15 minutes so we left. Not a single acknowledgement that we were even there. Won't be back, use to be a favorite! Now we will just stick with first watch and poor Richards cafe where the service is always amazing read more

I really wanted to try this place with a friend. We went inside and were not greeted or seated. We left after waiting around for awhile. Very disappointed, won't attempt again. read more

The House Cafe - Amazing waffles! - Cafes Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Wish I could give this place more stars! I have breakfast here a lot and it is great every time. Most breakfast items on the menu are $7.25. Super cheap. Wait staff is very attentive and keep the coffee refilled at all times. Bottom line it's just a simple breakfast joint that knows what they are doing. read more

Good local breakfast place. Solid food choices, good service, but weak coffee. I'm just spoiled by the More than Waffles and Pete's Breakfast House in So Cal. read more

I give it 2 stars because my GF liked her food, mine was awful. First, my order was wrong, second the vegetables in the omelette were dripping with oil, and third the bacon literally had no flavor whatsoever. The staff was ok, our server tried but the rest of the waitressess and hostess were just goofing around. Cleanliness was a little to be desired as well...which didn't give me the greatest confidence in the food quality. read more

Yessica was by and large the best waitress! Would come back just for her. 10/10 would recommend.

My boyfriend and I always find ourselves returning here at least once a week! Every time we have amazing service and kind servers. I always get the #4 French Toast combo and it always comes out perfect. My boyfriend will try new things they have and he says it tastes amazing no matter what they serve! If you're looking for a cozy neighborhood breakfast/lunch to try, or to make it your go to for comfort food this is the place! Not even IHOP can come close to the quality of food and service you receive here. The House Café will always be my favorite place to go. read more

We liked the French toast, sausage, pancakes and pecan waffle. Weren't crazy about their bacon or gravy but they were ok. Great staff and well priced. read more

This place is great. It a small hole in the wall, family owned restaurant. It can get kind of crazy on Sunday mornings but the staff is great and so is the food. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. I can't say there is one plate that is just phenomenal but all the food created just has that home cooked feel to it. read more

Just a chill lowkey cafe. Get the chicken fajita omelet or the migas! The staff are nice its a good value breakfast. Stop by and support a local old school small cafe. read more

The place is one of our go-to's for breakfast. It's cheaper to eat here for breakfast than McDonalds (win!) The meals have been consistently delicious and service is quick. I am a sucker for just some simple hot coffee and theirs gets two thumbs up. read more
