    Pancakes & South of the border omelette.
    Drew T.

    If you're looking for that homemade breakfast and actually feel like you're home (without you cooking and clean up, and actually better than you would make it), then this is home for you. Here you will find all your breakfast classics, biscuits & gravy, various omelettes, eggs however you desire them, pancakes, coffee, etc., and you'll be given great service. Bring your stretchy pants, you're gonna want to try it all.

    Food was amazing and the portions and price was great . My grand daughter and I could not decide on breakfast and we decided to try something new and it was delicious plus loved the coffee

    Very good pancake but unfortunately cold cold cold butter

    Not sure how we've missed this place for as long as we've been in Tomball, maybe because they close at 2p, and closed completely on Sundays. But happy we stumbled on it today.i love businesses like this, always happy to try them out and support them. Although I'm guessing they are doing as well as they want to be doing. The nook is a perfect name because it is literally a snippet of a place, 12 tables total. Very plainly decorated with big open windows looking out onto Main Street. In actuality, the perfect diner. I walked by a table that had a cinnamon roll that looked really good, even to me. I say that because I am not a big fan of sweets , but even my attention was caught. The menu was surprisingly diverse, everything from that monster cinnamon roll to breakfast tacos. I ordered bacon and eggs with a pancake. I ordered my eggs pasted but I'm pretty sure they were poached. That's okay The egg yolk was still a little runny. I definitely would have preferred it a lot runny but it's okay. Bacon was fantastic. Crispy but not burnt. Definitely how I like it. If I were to take issue with anything, it would be the one small path of frozen butter that they served with the pancake. I had to ask for more letter which I promptly got, but there was no way it was going to be melted butter. The coffee was good and plentiful overall a great experience. And I definitely recommend and we will be back

    This was such a great local find. The dining room is small and cozy and you get a home town feeling. The service was excellent, like family is serving you. And the food was delicious. I will be back!

    I was in the hospital and my other half went to The Nook for breakfast. He had been one other time and said it was really good. On his second visit, he brought me a cinnamon roll and WOWZER!!! This thing is massive in size! It's also delicious! I was able to share it with a few nurses who also loved it! I can't wait to try other items on their menu! When I do, I'll be sure to update my review.

    Biscuits and gravy.. Delicious

    Went in on a Saturday morning at 11 am and it was a15 minute wait for a table (not bad.) The place is not big but has that true small owner integrity. They have 11 booths and 1 handicap booth/ table at the end left hand corner. It's very intimate and has a nostalgic southern feeling to it. Joseph was our waiter/ cashier. (found out at the end that he's also one of the owners along with his mother and sister Who are all very present running the restaurant) True family owned establishment. They are Covid friendly with plexiglass to separate the boots and give you more conversation privacy. Masks are not mandated (but I actually like the choice of having a choice lol) Ordered at 11:32 and received our first food item at 11:35... talk about fast pace! The coffee is hot, the orange juice has pulp and the water is ice cold.. That's great and all on drinks but the food... oh the food... The homemade big cinnamon roll is definitely a must. It's soft, gooey has a hint of nutmeg and covered in sweet icing. Went great with my hot coffee. (ordered this as an appetizer style but new we were not going to finish it) Chicken fried steak breakfast: Served with two eggs, hash brown or grits and a pancake or toast choice. Best chicken fried steak I've had in a long time. I asked for my gravy on the side thinking I might be taking some of it home.. I ate the whole thing.. every bite. Not only was it fried to perfection, but the meat itself was very tender and seasoned wonderfully. I asked for my eggs to be over easy, and they were spot on. Even the pancake had a great flavor to it. Biscuits and gravy: fluffy biscuits with country sausage peppered gravy, these biscuits are definitely made in house. I didn't even need to add salt or pepper or anything to this. It was delicious as it came. Half order of French toast with meat: I chose pan sausage with this. If I must be honest, this was probably my least favorite meal. It's not that it was bad but after tasting everything else I was expecting some type of over the top French toast and it was just French toast lol.. still good, yet not amazing or different as the other dishes, I would still order if I was in the mood for French toast. If you are looking for a place with an extensive menu and southern -favorites, you definitely need to add this place to your "must try's". Not only will you be amazed at the freshness and taste but you will be supporting a family owned business. We have plans to return to try the Chicken fried steak sandwich.. my mouth watered when I saw this but I was too full lol.

    Nice little hole in the wall cafe. A good note, if you're going, just know the hours between 8 am and 10 am you're gonna be waiting a long time. So it's good to wake up early to get to this place. There was plenty of parking, and the restrooms were very clean

    Omelette

    Cute, small breakfast place called "The Nook". We came in 30mins prior to closing and not once did we hear anything about that or felt rush from the server. They were very friendly and offered great service. Food was good too. Although we just felt like we can get bigger servings at another place for the similar price.

We split the breakfast sandwich panini and one of their giant cinnamon rolls. The rosemary potatoes were perfectly seasoned with an incredibly velvety texture, and dipping them into their signature Victory Sauce was absolute perfection. The breakfast sandwich was outstanding, with thick, meaty, flavorful bacon on a buttery croissant that tasted like it had just come out of the oven. We paired everything with a caramel hazelnut iced coffee that was perfectly balanced, and the cinnamon roll had just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. What really stood out was the quality. Everything is made from scratch with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can absolutely taste the difference. On our way out, we could not resist taking home two pies and the cutest strawberry Pop-Tart covered in patriotic sprinkles. They looked almost too pretty to eat. The food alone would have earned five stars, but the hospitality made the experience unforgettable. The owner was incredibly genuine and treated every customer like a VIP. She has a true heart for veterans and took the time to personally thank my husband for his service. That kind of kindness is rare and speaks volumes about the people behind this wonderful business. Victory Pie Co. has earned loyal customers in us. We cannot wait to come back and work our way through the rest of the menu.

    Wholly Crap! I…read morerarely leave negative reviews, but this experience really rubbed me the wrong way. I came in with my husband and our three children. The gentleman who took our order was perfectly nice and welcoming. My husband and all three of my kids ordered food, and I ordered a coffee. Later, when the lady/owner came out from the kitchen to serve the food, she asked me what I wanted. I simply told her, "I'm not hungry, I'm okay with my coffee." As she walked away, she called me "weird." I honestly couldn't believe it. We were a family of five sitting there, four people were eating, and I was a paying customer as well. Why would it be "weird" that one person at the table simply wasn't hungry? I wasn't complaining, being difficult, or asking for anything special. I was sitting there enjoying coffee with my family while they ate. The comment was completely unsolicited and made what had otherwise been a pleasant experience feel incredibly uncomfortable. As a restaurant owner, you would think making your customers feel welcome would be the bare minimum--not making personal comments about them because they chose not to order food. The gentleman who took care of us was very pleasant, and I want to make that clear. Unfortunately, the interaction with the lady/owner completely changed the experience for me. There are plenty of restaurants where my family can spend our money and be treated with basic courtesy. Unfortunately, after this interaction, we won't be returning.

It can get a little crowded around lunchtime, so…read moreI usually try to sneak in just before or after the lunch rush--but honestly, the crowd makes sense because this place is an absolute gem in Tomball! If you've been looking for fresh, farm-to-table food with organic and gluten-free options, this is your spot. They also have the cutest little trinkets and home decor, along with prepared meals you can grab to take home for the week. We come here at least once a week, and I have never had a bad experience with either the food or the staff. The owner is always coming out to check on everyone and make sure everything is good, which I think says so much about a place. It's truly a pleasure to eat here. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced, and the quality of what you're getting is incredible. Fresh, delicious food made with care--you really can't ask for much more. And DO NOT forget the desserts! Leave room for one, or at least get one to go, because they are absolutely out of this world. Don't pass this little Tomball gem up--you'll regret it! And now I've made myself so hungry writing this review that I'm probably going to have to go tomorrow.

The little ceramic dogs her mothers friend had had, the fancy cake plate... Interesting, I suppose. This is an order at the counter, pay in advance, and they give you a little flag with a number on it place. Okay, pet peeve one, I hate tipping in advance, but it is a common kiosk thing now. Pet Peeve 2 all the prices rang up a dollar or two higher than the menu prices. (Soup and sandwich menu price 13 rang up 15) I understand inflation is a thing but if you're going to raise prices, go ahead and hit print on some new menus. It's a short menu, it's only two pages long. Second fact, prepare to wait. Maybe one chef back there hand wrangling each burger or sandwich by hand. Third fact there's about six tables with comfortable chairs and the rest have hard plastic chairs. so if you are coming at a busy time, you aren't going to have a padded seat. Countering these irritations is the fact that the food is actually really really good. It is simple fare, but really well done. The potato soup hovered just on the soup side of the line between potato soup and mashed potatoes, but had fresh crispy bacon and scallions added right before serving. The roast beef sandwich had sliced roast freshly from the oven just for this sandwich. So we got five star food but the rest of the package doesn't add up for me. I'm going to give it four.
