Up to the area from Houston Heights. This place is old school...reminded me of places I went in the late 70s. That's a complement. The food was really tasty. I ordered a California Croissant (tasty chicken salad, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and bacon). The portion was very generous and it was delicious. It was served with fresh cut fries that were begging for malt vinegar and ketchup...soooo good. My husband had a breakfast combo...looked as expected with ham, egg, and pancakes. They recommended blueberries in the pancakes and that made them quite yummy. Service was prompt and they were very busy for Tuesday at 12:45pm. Our sever was a very polite young man who gave a couple recommendations that we took. We ordered two cinnamon rolls to go...I am posting this review prior to eating them, but imagine they will be to die for. Don't miss this sweet little spot. read more

I'm a big fan of traditional "greasy spoon" diners. I say that with total love for the food and the ambience. It was clean and the folks were very friendly. I'm rarely in that neighborhood, but if I need a quick meal or a cup of coffee while I sit and kill time, this will be my place. read more

Small & horrible service! Server has a bad attitude! Food was ok. Will never return!!! read more

I love this little restaurant! The food is all homemade and delicious. Cinnamon rolls as big as a plate! I love a good hot breakfast and this is the place to go. Family owned and run. Bottomless coffee and service is great. Highly recommend! read more

The best people in the world work here! Family owned and operated! Food is just like at home and I've had nothing bad there. Great atmosphere and you immediately feel at home. I've been going there over 20 years!!!!! read more

Amazing, delish! French toast sticks was great. Service was great too! Very attentive

It was cozy and the food was wonderful! We really enjoyed our short time there!! The service was friendly as well.

We got the Wednesday special which was meatloaf, mashed potatoes and pinto beans. The meatloaf was amazing and the price was just right.

This is the best darn restaurant to eat at in all of Tomball if not Harris County. It is clean, the prices are more than fair, the food is cooked the way you like it. They make the best fresh cinnamon rolls anywhere what else could you ask for? Besides Martha Stewart told me whenever she is in Houston it is her favorite place to eat. It's a shame the city of Tomball will not allow this jewel of a restaurant to expand. I suggest they move to Hockley to where people will appreciate very excellant well prepared food plus great service & fair prices. read more

Excellent service, great food. They cook basic breakfast mainstays to perfection. The cinnamon rolls are huge.

This is the cutest and yummiest little place in Tomball. Not much seating so maybe get there right when they open. I got a coffee and the breakfast sandwich (egg, bacon,sausage, and cheese) and it was delicious! Everything was so good! Service is so friendly and quick. We will definitely come back. We also got the French toast sticks to start with and they are SOOO good! Almost tasted like a funnel cake (which I love) with syrup. Yum yum yum! read more

Absolutely love this family owned business. Love their genuine caring and great menu. Be sure to get there before 2!

Cute little diner serving great food and excellent customer service! Small and quaint, great breakfast and good prices!

This mainly breakfast restaurant also serves lunch and is open til 2pm most days. Their lunch specials are $7.95, 4 days a week and they include iced tea. With only 11 tables inside, and 2 picnic benches outside, they stay pretty busy for breakfast. The benches outside are usually used for customers waiting on a table, and not really for dining. I wouldn't go as far as saying this is a hidden gem, but it's decent food at a fair price, and its where the locals go. Don't go looking for anything healthy on the menu, they don't really have it. Although, you can order some less greasy, less fattening options such as veggie omelets, egg whites, fruit bowls and sub white bread for wheat. First time I visited, there was a long line and I didnt want to wait, so I ended up eating at another spot nearby which cost more. On my 2nd visit, I finally dined in and ordered the famous cinnamon roll, added a pancake and a fried egg. Everything tasted great, cinnamon roll was huge and I didn't even make a dent. While not as good as my favorite one at a diner in Colorado, it was still pretty good. The egg was pretty standard and the pancake was light and fluffy and very good too. read more

The Nook Restaurant - Light breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tomball, Texas

A special thank you to The Nook for feeding us on this incredibly cold morning! The service was great, and though short staffed, went smooth during this holiday season. The food was delicious! It was not a "grease pit" which we greatly appreciated. Our omelet and scramble were both seasoned perfectly, with hot hash browns, and large biscuits. We will be back when in town again. read more

This might be the best restaurant ever. I know some people might say allot of things about this business like it is little or bad food but the truth is that all of the food is outstanding. The first time I went here i was a bit suspicious on the outside of the restaurant, it looked small and a bit unorganized but when I stepped in I went in and I got a big surprise. I ordered a breakfast which consisted in eggs, sausage, chocolate chip pancakes and I think a bit more but I have to say, never have I ever had anything like it before everything was on point and better. A thing to consider would be to improve the customer service. I won't say who but there is always a rude server that is always frustrated and grumpy when taking our order. Apart from that everything is excellent and I hope that this restaurant keeps growing and it gets more popular.. read more

Let me start off saying how I was looking forward to eating at this restaurant as the many Yelp reviews have given it such high marks. Over the yeras I would drive by and see how crowded it was and thought it must be a great place to eat, must be fantastic! Today 9.12.2020 I went in to have breakfast and here is what I observed and experienced. 1. 30.07 on the door.....In today's climate of antifa and blm and all the assaults that have been happening I cannot believe that have this up. How are they going to protect me and my family? Throw a bisque at the attackers? If they did it would knock them out.. more on this later. 2. One thing I will say is the place was clean and covid19 updated so that was a plus. Although the whole mask thing is a joke I go along with it to make everyone around me feel better. 3. Once seated the waitress took our order and she was nice and all but when I asked for catups for my hash browns she said, "what? are you 5?" I found this funny so I let it slide. 4. I ordered and my wife did as well although my wife tends to mix things up and make things odd but whatever. I ordered 3 eggs and a stake of pancakes (3) what I got was my 3 eggs and one pancake which I was charge 6.50 for a stack. 5. The food was NOT bad but was to be honest it was UNREMARKABLE. I could of made a better breakfast at home. The eggs had no flavor and the bacon was old and cold. I was unimpressed with my wife's bisque and gravy. The gravy tasted like a powered mix with very little sasuage and reminds me of the mix at kroger. The bisque were hard as a rock as and no flavor and I guess they figured the gravy would cover it up somehow. Hard enough to knock someone out if thrown! 30.07. 6. The price for this all was 19.74 plus a 5.00 tip. I was very disappointed and Im sure we will not return as I could make a much better breakfast at home or go to another place of buisness. I know this review will not hurt them but I know the only way a place will bet any better is to hear such critizism in hopes that they improve in the future. I wish them all the best and improvements. read more

I decided to try a new breakfast spot and I was in the area. Initially when I walked in I was greeted by a server she told me to sit wherever so I sat by the door. I ordered coffee and water and she only brought me a large water and loaded up a bunch of other drinks for another table. I sat patiently and reviewed the menu I figured I'd remind her once I was ordering about my coffee. I ordered the bacon and cheese omelette with hash browns and the pancake. A guy took my order and I told him about the coffee and he got it to me quick. The female server who initially took my drink order seemed to be having a bad day she was not friendly and in a bad mood her body language and tone said it all. I overheard the male server calling her cranky. Maybe she forgot to have her coffee today? Just saying... So I received my food it was nice and hot. The pancake looked good and it tasted delicious, my only suggestion is that the butter be whipped or soft when served. I ate it without syrup it was pretty good. Now the omelette had very little to no cheese inside perhaps ordering it with extra cheese next time is the way to go. The hash browns were cooked the way I like it however I could taste oil, maybe it was going bad in this heat we've had. There were lots of gnats in the diner which kind of annoying one landed on my arm. My rating is based on some things that need improving including the server with her demeanor. She rang me up and actually looked at me and gave me an odd look lol she told me to have a blessed day, I appreciate it but only when it's genuine. Would I return? Yes I would like to try lunch read more

The Nook was great. Family owned and run. Breakfast was yummy. We both got omelettes.

Always like coming here. The staff is hilarious. Always extra sweet to me and give my DH a hard time!! Food is on point but TBH I only get breakfast. Grits are perfect!! Biscuits and gravy are so yummy!! And if you want something sweet the cinnamon roll is amazing. Do yourself a favor.... give it a try. But watch out for the Attack Waitress. read more

I know everyone loves this place and it is a Tomball staple but the food just isn't good and the waitress was flirty with my husband. I know it's their "thing" to be rude and whatnot but it's not fun for me... And the food isn't good enough to account for that in my opinion. read more

Great little hole in the wall. Good breakfast. Good service. Waitress was super good. If they would just add a waffle to the menu it be five stars. read more

Well hello there gigantic cinnamon roll. I'm generally not a big fan of cinnamon rolls. Sure, I can enjoy a free one now and then, but they are bad as often or more so then they are good. Not to mention that I haven't went out and bought one or even asked for one in years. Generally they don't have enough icing, or they are dry and tasteless, or they are all full of oil/butter and overly mushy... not here. The Nook Cinnamon roll is made for Goldilocks, it's just right with enough icing and the right texture, plenty of flavor but not overly sweet. It's also big enough for Goldilocks to share it with the bear family. The pictures don't do this thing justice, it's served on a dinner plate and the diameter is the size of the fork. This little place is frequented by locals, stays busy enough that you have to wait for only a few minutes, and the food comes out hot, fresh and quick. I came with a friend on a Saturday morning and together we shared the biscuits and gravy, a nook taco and the cinnamon roll. We couldn't finish all the food. The biscuits and gravy were pretty good, amazing biscuits and pretty good gravy. I've never been a big fan of such things, but I enjoyed what I was eating. The nook taco was great, all filled up as compared to most breakfast tacos which are half empty. And of course the cinnamon roll... which we both started and ended the meal with. At less than $10 a person, this is a hidden gem in the Houston area... too bad it's all the way out in Tomball! read more

Very good coffee, sweet service. The hash browns are like old school truck stop hash browns, really good! Eggs done near perfect, pancake was light and fluffy. Bacon thick, not overdone either. Hubs' omelette dry, but he forgot to ask for it soft. Took home the world's biggest cinnamon roll and it was really cinnamony, and still warm from the oven. Very small diner, in same center as the VA center, conveniently located on Main Street close to Four Corners. Open for breakfast and lunch only. read more

The Nook Restaurant - Peep the cinnamon roll!!! This was in a large to go container...it was huge. And warm. And delicious. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tomball, Texas

The coffee was really bad, which is the main reason I would probably not return here. It was like weak dishwater. Also the hash browns tasted like they'd been cooked in old oil. However my son really liked the biscuits and gravy, and the pancakes were tasty and fluffy. The place was clean and service friendly. read more

Best little breakfast shop in tomball and yes the staff is great. Give it a try! Great place to socialize

One of my favorite breakfast places and part of why Tomball feels like home away from home. When we are down here from Oklahoma, staying with my daughter, we go to The Nook as often as we can. They always remember us and remember my diabetic restrictions allowing me to sub cantaloupe and cottage cheese for my grits and gravy. AND they tease me just like home folks. You better take note: doing things this well means they gave certain times of the day when folks are waiting in line. We quickly figured out when to be there. read more

Food is not a great selection but if you want a drink and some food in a very cool location with friendly staff it is a great place. Their indoor area is amazing with all the woodwork and their outdoor patio area is so relaxing. read more

Finally stopped by into the Nook around the corner! I was surprised that it was not busier; the reviews I saw lead me to believe there would be a wait. The greeting was friendly, and the building has an old-school diner feel to it. We seated ourselves and did not have to wait long at all before our coffee and water were there to enjoy. I ordered the South of the Border omelette and my company ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs. We ate off of each other's plates and agreed on two things: both dishes were delicious and next time we would switch orders! My only complaint was with the coffee. Jules might be OK with the freeze-dried Taster's Choice, but I am not. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. read more

Stopped by for breakfast. The restaurant itself is very small so be prepared to wait if the tables are full. After ordering the food took an average amount of time to come out. The combo selections were a little weird to me. Pancakes and a single egg with hashbrowns or meat. The egg on the other plate looked very lonely as a solo. Overall, the food was good. I liked the quality as well as the small town feel that this place has. You don't find too many places with this charm. If I'm in the area, I would definitely try the place again. read more

Took my wife here today for the first time. Nice atmosphere! Not a lot of seating inside or outside. Luckily a table for two had just been cleaned. We sat. The server suggested sharing a cinnamon roll which we did to start. The cinnamon roll was huge! We could not finish it! We also ordered two Nook tacos. Potato, egg and your choice of bacon or sausage. Tacos were also very good. Server was very nice and took good care of us. If you sit at the back you are sitting right by restrooms. But I didn't smell anything and everyone was very nice in passing by politely. Server left our ticket inconspicuously I had to look for it. Took it up front to pay and got a to go box from the cashier. I would suggest anyone to at least try this place once. If not make it a regular mid morning date event. read more

The Nook Restaurant - Giant and really tasty cinnamon roll! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tomball, Texas

I stayed nearby at the hospital with my granny for a week straight. So this restaurant was my breakfast everyday!! I definitely need to hit up the cardio now as their cinnamon rolls became a morning ritual reeeeal quick!! You never had a TRUE cinnamon roll until you been to THE NOOK! Get there!!!!! The nook is SUPER small/cute restaurant. Maybe a total of 15 tables. So, if you want to dine in make sure you get there early, if not you will be waiting in line for a table. If you don't want to dine in, they also have a drive thru. Call in your order and hit the drive thru up in 10 mins. The staff is super nice and laid back!! Also, get there early and try their cinnamon rolls. They are homemade every morning and sell out QUICK!! These are the biggest cinnamon rolls ever-must weigh a pound-no joke!!!They are definitely enough to share! If you eat that huge thing by yourself.... You're just a fatty. I may have been a fatty one morning lol ask for Extra icing and you will be in heaven!! I also tried the breakfast sandwich which was delicious!!!! It had egg, sausage and cheese on Texas toast. It Hit the spot! Another morning I tried the nook scramble, which came with a side of hash browns. The scramble had a bit of everything.... Mushrooms, onions, cheese, ham etc read more
