    Eggs Benedict
    Amoré M.

    I've been here twice. First time I was just because it showed up in the "food near me" section so my friend and I gave it a shot. Walk in and greeted by the person at the front immediately. The restaurant has an old jazz/mom and pop feel to it. Unfortunately, everything on the menu looked AMAZING. So we had to order a couple of different things and share it. We got the chicken and waffles (chicken tenders), the eggs and bacon with an English muffin, and the fresh juices. Service was a little slow, but everything was made to order and I believe only one person was working in the kitchen, so hats off to him bc idk how he does it! The wait was WELL worth it bc the food was AMAZING. Came back a second time about a month later and the guy at the front remembered me! This time I get the eggs Benedict and it was literal perfection. I'll be back again to try everything on the menu!!

    Toaster's Café in Houston absolutely delivered. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese with extra egg and extra bacon on a croissant, plus tater tots and a pancake. The food was exceptional. I honestly didn't think an Uber Eats order would arrive so fresh and so hot, but everything was perfect. The tater tots were crispy, the bacon, egg, and cheese on the croissant was full of flavor, and you can tell they understood the assignment. They actually took their time making this sandwich because it is delicious without question. Definitely order from this spot. Five stars all the way.

    Strawberry parfait

    Place sucks. Biscuits were baked from a can. Gravy for biscuit taste like made from a gravy packet. Strawberry parfait was good but it's hard to mess that up. You have to wait in line to order. Ambiance is good.

    Banana Foster French Toast and Breakfast Sandwich were FANTASTIC! Great little breakfast place! A must stop when downtown!

    Chicken and Waffles

    Nice atmosphere, felt clean with great vibes. I believe it is the owner who runs the whole show, taking orders & preparing the food so it's nice to see him have a steady flow of customers to support his spot. The chicken & waffles were delicious, the chicken tenders were battered perfectly! I had an iced mocha and it wasn't as sweet as I personally like but my husband thought it was great. I'd recommend this cute breakfast/brunch spot

    Ok.. another one of my foodie friends put me on to the place. Came here on a Sunday with three others. Honestly, I almost missed this place because of where it's located. It's right next to the bail bonds place. There is parking on the street all around this place. Just be mindful of what day it is and what time because of the meter situation. This is a no frills kinda place. Clean and organized. There's kind of a coffee bar but I am not sure of what the options are because I never saw the window. I always try a classic breakfast - hash browns were shredded potatoes. They do have a turkey sausage option. I added my own salt and pepper . The rest of the group had chicken and waffles, French toast and bacon, and eggs Benedict. The chicken from the chicken and waffles I hear is pretty good! No complaints from the eggs Benedict. And the French toast was devoured! So don't let the outside deter you!

    Fridays are usually the favorite day of the week for most working professionals. Fridays signify the end of a hard work week and every two Fridays, one can normally see a nice deposit in their bank account for their hard work. Fridays also tend to be the day where one hour lunches can turn into an hour and half lunches due to workers (who potentially just got paid) wanting to visit a new lunch spot or go back to a lunch spot that may be farther away than a Tuesday lunch spot. Three of my coworkers and I decided to venture out today and visit Toasters on the recommendation of someone in our party who said the chicken and waffles was the bomb the last time he came here for lunch. We arrived and there two other patrons in the restaurant waiting for to go orders. We walked up to the counter to order, not really needing to look at the menu because of the aforementioned chicken and waffle recommendation. Two of my coworkers ordered the chicken and waffles and a drink for a total of $17 for each order. In my opinion, a little pricey for a place that serves four waffle triangles and 2 wings. I step up to the counter and also order the chicken and waffles with a water. The cashier mentions that the water is only bottled (this is one of my pet peeves with restaurants when you can't just have a glass of water and are required to purchase a water bottle but that is just personal preference). I complete my $14 transaction for chicken and waffles and a water bottle and our last coworker behind me asks if I got the chicken tenders or the chicken wings. I mention to him that I wanted to the wings because why would you ever want tenders over whole fried wings when ordering chicken and waffles. The cashier who just took my order says that I ordered the tenders even though I made no mention of tenders in my order. He just assumed I wanted tenders so I tell the cashier that I want wings and he changes the order in the kitchen. I go to our table and mention this conversation to my other two coworkers who ordered before me and ask them if they ordered the wings or tenders. They say that they didn't specify because they just assumed it was wings and not tenders. I went back to look at the menu and it does mention that it is either tenders or wings but not once did the cashier ask us if we wanted tenders or wings. It makes a lot of sense to serve tenders over wings by default because of cost. Our last coworker who ordered specifically asked for wings so we waited in anticipation of what was about to come out from the kitchen. We see the cashier come to our table with the 4 trays of chicken and waffles and sure enough, there are two orders with tenders and two orders with whole wings. One of coworkers felt scammed in the moment and asked if he could get a refund to which the cashier responded that all sales are final and there are no refunds. There is a sign at the counter that says this. It would have been nice if the cashier had offered a substitute meal of equal value, but all he did was mention there are no refunds, drop the food on the table (not even in front of my coworker), and walk away. The chicken wings were actually decent and crispy. The waffle was a little soft for my liking but in the syrup, it tasted ok because sugar makes everything taste better (except chicken tenders). The wings are the only reason this review is 2 stars and not 1 star. The tenders looked sadder than a chicken on its way to the slaughter house. The tenders were not crispy and almost ghost white. We did not see the cashier a single time the whole time after the food was dropped off. The picture attached here shows the difference between the wings and tenders. I would not recommend this place for people in a hurry as the food took 17 minutes to come out in an empty restaurant (we were the only ones in the restaurant along with one other person who ordered after us). If you do decide to come and try the chicken, specifically ask for wings as the chicken and not the tenders. We will not be coming back here. I asked my coworker who got tenders what he would rate this place on a scale of 1-10 and he said, "If I could give it less than 1, I would." It feels like they were being deceptive by not asking us whether we wanted tenders or wings. There are so many other good chicken and waffle places in Houston. Visit those instead!

    This is in your downtown area of Houston. So, if you're looking for a nice breakfast or brunch spot and still be downtown, check this place out. I had chicken and waffles. My chicken was cooked perfect. Be ready to add your own seasoning or sauces. My waffles was the bomb! I was hungry folks so it did hit the spot. The service was nice, smiling faces all around. Ambiance small place but real cool. Come check it out!

Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

On the way to the hotel I…read moresaw the sign "Hot Biscuit" and since biscuits are one of my favorite foods, I decided to walk over and have dinner there. I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

I have gone back for nostalgia a few times during the day and the food was still made to order, prices were still reasonably low and the wait staff reminded me of a safe place to get rid of my day and my safe diet. Kinda feels like home, missing your childhood and humble beginnings. Somebody's intoxicated, somebody's on a first date, somebody's passing through, somebody's lost, somebody's on their third meal of the day (motel parking lot adjacent) and the server loves everything about your fancy bracelet or handbag. Sometimes you just need that definitely one of my places for old Times sake. It's humbling. I've yet to try the hot biscuit, but the burger and fries is good anytime.

Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
