Great food and excellent service. We were from out of town and waited a bit in line for Sunday brunch but it was worth the wait. The staff made sure we have everything needed. Delicious food. read more

The hidden spot you don't want people to know because it's your spot! you have to try their grits and strips.

If customer service matters most to you - don't dine in because that is not their specialty. While the cost and portion sizes are decent the food is nothing you can't make at home. I had the banana pecan foster French toast and per a previous comment I ordered everything on the side and I'm glad I did because it was so sweet and buttery. I couldn't imagine enjoying it with all that on top making my French toast soggy. Also, they serve you with plastic ware and paper plates (thankfully not styrofoam) but in a pandemic that's the least of my concerns. The drinks are overpriced cans and bottles. Would I go back? No. Would I recommend? Depends on who is asking and what they are looking for. read more

Toasters is great. The sweet potato pancakes are my wife and I's favorite! The wings and tenders are great also... so good. One of our favorite breakfast/brunch spots downtown! read more

There are two things that I equally dislike. Eating food that is not great and writing reviews about not great food places. This is proof that when you look up a place on yelp you can trust the stars and the people that take time to leave them. The steak and eggs-- no go on the steak, eggs are okay, hash-browns were okay. The biscuits were decent as well as the sausage patties. They got two stars for the service. I always appreciate good and prompt service. I am curious though about the paper plates and plastic wear? read more

6 star joint! As I stuff my face with this deliciously sweet french toast, this review just cannot wait! Don't be afraid of parking! Plenty of metered parking all around! Awesome menu and incredibly cheap for the quality! I HAD to have the Philly Cheesesteak but I got it on ciabatta and what a treat it was! The chef drizzles a little steak sauce on the meat which did give it a slightly heavy flavor that took away from the flavor of the freshly sautéed bell peppers but still was delicious. THE PHILLY CHEESESTEAK IS A MUST TRY! Slap me with challah bread and call me love-struck! The French Toast is AMAZE-BALLS! I'm gonna get so fat! Super soft and moist and does not fall apart even with a drizzle of syrup! This is one of those spots you bring a few friends to, eat some grub, wash it down with a Latté and make friends with the owner/chef! Don't sleep on this spot Houston! Finally we got an alternative to The Breakfast Klub, let's give it our full support and create another landmark! FRACK IHOP AND DENNY'S! read more

No matter how good the food is, you can't excuse blatantly terrible and rude service. I had this place bookmarked for a while and was really looking forward to finally having brunch here. Our experience began with the lady behind the counter taking orders making inappropriately negative gay marriage comments towards us. When I asked if they had fountain drinks, she rolled her eyes and pointed at the bottled drinks and said the tea was self-serve. Okay. So I ordered tea. I blew this off because all I really cared about was getting a good meal in my belly. But after waiting and waiting, and counting the numerous patrons coming in after us getting their orders served, we started to get more annoyed. They have an order numbering system that appears to be completely ineffective. Upon ordering, you receive a tiny ticket that's not displayed, so the waitstaff just walked around and ask everyone "is this what you ordered," and whatever someone's response was (yes or no), they were taking their word. The entire time we're waiting the lady behind the counter was being loud and obnoxious and basically playing grab ass. After about 30 minutes I finally asked what was up with our order. Seemingly annoyed I interrupted her slacking off, she went to the back to "check on my order". After about 10 minutes one of the servers is sent up to deal with me, where she finds our original ticket at the front counter - the counter lady never turned it in. We finally got our food about an hour after initially ordering. It was good, but damn. We were also sweating our asses off the entire time because there was no air conditioning in the place! I have never owned, operated, or even worked at a restaurant, but I know enough that to ensure long-term viability, you have to establish a solid customer base of somewhat recurring regulars. After reading the other negative reviews, all concerning the same points of not so great service, I have to question what their overall strategy is. I mean they might as well have a sign upon entering that says "fuck you!" read more

Interesting little hole in the wall restaurant in downtown. You pick up a menu at the front counter and order there, when your food is ready they bring it to you. I got the peanut butter pancakes, didn't want the eggs so I asked if I could substitute for something else and was told no. Went back to the menu to look for a different item, then was told I could substitute the eggs for hash browns. Why I wasn't able to from the beginning I don't know. The girl at the counter wasn't what I would call friendly, but the rest of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The hash browns were burned and raw all at the same time, so it didn't really matter. The pancakes were awesome but next time I will leave out the peanut butter chips, it was a strange taste combo. I will try this place again, but I will leave the peanut butter out. read more

Toasters is a fine option for breakfast in downtown. They have your basic breakfast options, and we ordered pancakes (which came with a side of bacon), a side of scrambled eggs and coffee. All of the food was fine; coffee was actually pretty good; and the service was quick and nice. It probably wouldn't be my first choice for breakfast in Houston, but it was OK. read more

Atmosphere was a little too quiet for me, just awkward. Something about the place didn't seem clean to me and the staff was not friendly. Food was not that good, only ate here cause I was starving after a flight and wasn't sure where to go...if I knew how it was I would have skipped it. read more

Toasterz Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Oh my goodness! New favorite breakfast place in Houston! It's located not far from the prison so the area isn't crowded on Saturday. There was plenty of street parking and we did meter parking which was only $1. Cute little place with a red awning on the outside. The banana foster french toast was amazing! It comes on a large plate with two eggs and your choice of bacon, sausage or ham. I think it was only $8 for all that food! If you check in on Yelp you can get a free coffee or dessert. They have a couch in the corner and two TV's. The brunch/lunch menu looked great too! Today they were serving lasagna, buffalo wings, soup, sandwiches and I'm sure lunch is just as good as the breakfast. The other patrons there at the time were all there from Yelp reviews! The counter girl and cook/owner?? were super friendly and helpful. Definitely will be going back!! read more

Toasters is a little hole in the wall breakfast & lunch restaurant located just off San Jacinto before 59 freeway. You could literally miss it if you weren't looking for it. There is no parking apart from the $3 city parking lot located just up the block OR the metered parking that is usually taken up by prison visitors. The inside of the restaurant is quaint but very clean & neatly organized and decorated. They have a wonderful display of assorted deserts such as, bread pudding, chocolate cake, lemon cake, Apple pie, cookies & cinnamon rolls. They also offer cappuccino's, latte's & expression. Teas / homemade lemonade a and cereals. THE FOOD IS TO DIE FOR! I had the bananas foster French toast with eggs & sausage, and my partner had the same but with bacon instead. Everything was hot & cooked to perfection I will be back! read more

I was craving pancakes on Easter Sunday, so Kelly and I made our way downtown to Toasters. They serve breakfast and lunch all day, so it was perfect since we both got a late start to our day. We were both looking forward to trying the bananas pecan foster french toast. Since it was Easter, they had an Easter brunch buffet. We got to try a few things off the regular menu, but they weren't serving anything from their regular menu. They offered eggs, migas, breakfast potatoes, bacon, sausage, ham steak, pancakes, waffles, pasta, salad, fried tilapia, chicken tenders, fresh fruit, and breakfast pastries. I tried the migas, breakfast potatoes, bacon, ham steak, fried tilapia, chicken tenders, pancakes, waffles, and fresh fruit. The breakfast potatoes and pancakes had to be my favorite. The breakfast potatoes were prepared with onions and peppers, and it was seasoned well. The pancakes were delicious as well. I covered mine in butter and syrup. Everything else was about average. The fried tilapia was probably my least favorite since it was mostly batter. The chicken tenders were large, but it needed more seasoning. The batter was bland. I think this is a great breakfast spot since they serve breakfast all day. They close at 4 PM on the weekends and 6 PM on the weekdays. Parking can be found on the street. It's down the street from the UH-Downtown campus, so this would be a great spot for students. I'm going to have to return to get the French toast. read more

*update 10/9/2016: Horrible service. Over an hour wait for food. Servers were incompetent and didn't know what they were doing. Food quality has gone down and not worth the wait. This is unfortunate for a place that use to be so good. ___________ Came here for a Sunday brunch! Loved that they take reservations, especially since we had a large group of 7. We just had to come a little later to avoid the rush but that's ok. We didn't have to wait when we got there! The staff kept checking on us - everyone is so lovely and friendly. They made us feel right at home and customer service was excellent! They kept checking up on us to make sure everything was good.. Excellent! Everyone was happy with everything they ordered. The banana foster pecan French toast! Omg! This is something amazing. I loved the flavors and the crust was delicious! Large portions and slathered to perfection. The bacon and eggs that came with the French toast was cooked perfectly. Crispy bacon, eggs just the way I like - over easy! My friend had the chicken and waffles and she loved it! Said she liked it better than the Breakfast Klub. Huge statement considering how many reviews that place has and their chicken and waffles is good! My friends also got the 3 egg omelet and loved it. The breakfast taco had jalapeños which they loved. The breakfast platter was large and amazing. As with the cheesy grits! They also raved about the biscuit and gravy! No one had one complaint about the food. The prices are great for breakfast! We definitely loved it so much, we plan on being back! Thanks for being so accommodating! Great business! read more

The food at this place is AHH-MaZing. Took the advice of another YELPer and ordered the Philly on ciabatta. Perfection. The bacon ranch chicken sandwich was seasoned nicely and came out really moist. Pairs well with the croissant. Onion rings are nicely battered and came out hot. (posted pics of both entrees) Glad to see this place is open on the weekends. We live downtown and so many lunch places are only open M-F. If you check this spot out, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. read more

Our free breakfast at Magnolia Hotel was disappointing, so I took to Yelp! to find some good eats. Toasters had good reviews and mouth-watering pics, so we had to try it. You can park on the street for $1 or $3 for a parking lot. Both were about the same walk, so we opted for the cheaper rate. Looks divvy from the outside, but really nice inside. You grab a menu from the counter and place your order. My wife got the pancake breakfast. It came with eggs, choice of meat, & pancakes. I ordered the country breakfast. It came with eggs, choice of meat, hashbrowns, grits, and biscuits w/gravy. A LOT of food! They bring the food to you. Condiments are self-serve. There were a few choices of hot sauces. They were friendly and checked on us to see if we enjoyed our food. We did. We left full, with food left over. read more

Toasters is great place to stop and have breakfast downtown. They are a few blocks from Minute Maid Park and a hop and a skip from 59 going back towards Sugar Land. It's small, quiet, and even has a few couches to sit and study after class (since they are near UHD). Everything I tired was delicious: French Toast Bananas Foster, Chicken & Waffle, and the croissant sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese. Everything tasted so fresh and like home cooking. My favorite had to be the chicken that came with the waffles. They were juicy, seasoned, and oh so crispy. The gentleman that took our order was the owner. He was accommodating; we can't wait to go back. Support small businesses! read more

We had french toast and country breakfast. My favorite was the french toast, the walnut banana sauce on it was amazing. Those toasts were huge and so filling. They came with eggs and a side choice of sausage. The Country break fast that had grits, eggs, sausage, hash browns, biscuit and gravy. My husband wanted his eggs in an omelette style without the veggies and they were so kind to make it that way without scrambling it. The customer service is great they are extremely polite, quick and nice. The ambience is great to sit and have breakfast. There are plenty of street parking available. The food was very delicious and I am definitely coming back for those French toast. read more

I was blessed to try several things from an unexpected mishap that I am very grateful for lol The chicken and waffles had a really good flavor. I love crunchy chicken so this was up my alley. The chicken strips were overcooked so it dried out the meat some. If they were pulled out of the fryer a little sooner, they would've been perfect. The pancakes were just okay for me. If you like "big mama's" griddle cakes, I think you'll really like these and they're fluffy. The burrito was really good. It captured the flavors of a traditional breakfast wrapped in a huge grilled tortilla. All I was missing was a side of salsa. Overall, good food, slow but friendly service, great presentation and atmosphere. read more

I think the potential for this cute little place is great. This was our first visit. The guy behind the counter stated they were short staffed so service suffered. He did the best he could as it was crowded. I ordered the Eggs Benedict where the English muffins were not toasted or grilled. The egg yolks were not runny as they should be. The meal was delivered cold. Took forever to get my second cup of coffee. Would love to go back when COVID restrictions are lifted and they have more staff to give this cute little place another chance. read more

Toasterz Cafe - The address, and part of the breakfast menu. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

We were on the way home from picking up some people from the airport from an early flight, so I decided to yelp a breakfast place to try something new other than the usual IHOP or Dennys. This place popped up and it was open at 7! We literally arrived 2 minutes past 7 on a Sunday morning and they were only just setting up. I guess they come in to work by 7 and they were ready to take our orders but warned us it would take about 30 minutes or so until we could get our food. A slight setback since we chose the place since it was supposed to be up and running, but it was early, so why not? Plus, it's always nice to try new places. The place was clean but somewhat dimly lit. Most of the things were self serve (beverages and utensils) and you go up to the counter to order. They do come by to pick up your dirty plates once finished, though. Another note: we're all vegetarian and though their dishes had a side of meat, they were accommodating to our needs. We ordered the country breakfast platter (sans meat and gravy with a cup of fresh fruit), the Belgian waffle platter (sub out the meat with hash browns), the banana Foster French Toast platter (no meat, add hash browns), and a breakfast Burrito (stuffed with hash browns, spinach, and green bell peppers). Out of all of them, the Burrito looked the most underwhelming as it didn't come with any sides but it reportedly tasted good. The country breakfast was filling and probably had enough calories to last the entire day (along with the French Toast) and was pretty good. The cheese grits had a good consistency and wasn't drowned in cheese (I love cheese but I also wanted to see/taste what I ordered) and the biscuit was well seasoned and slightly crispy. The Belgian waffle had a good appearance but was on the dense side and wasn't as fluffy as we'd like though some of the edges were still slightly crispy, so they receive some points for that. The French Toast was probably the most special - perfect in every way and multidimensional. The hash browns were also good - fluffy with crispy edges. The eggs all came scrambled and, well, were like scrambled eggs. All in all, though we waited for a while, once the food came out, things were right in the world again. They had a take out order within 5 minutes of us entering and a table not long after, though they sat outside (there were two tables outside for those who enjoy eating under the sun - or in the day's case, the clouds). As we left, a large table shuffled in so that was nice too, since they had kids and it was too early to deal with kids. I'd probably return just to order the French Toast all to myself. read more

Delicious, felt home cooked. They were very welcoming and had great hospitality. It is a cozy place.

The owner is great, the place feels extremely homey and I loved the atmosphere. The food was good but wasn't as great as I expected. The grits were pretty bland but the chicken was really good, their Hashbrowns were good also with ketchup, and the bacon was pretty good. The eggs were also pretty bland but all the food went well together. read more

My company Disliked their plate and only ate two bites. Even Asked to exchange item for a lesser priced one and was told because she TASTED it, They couldn't do anything about it and still had to pay. Terrible service. Waitresses/Host will also avoid you and have you waiting 20-30 minutes in between every response. We were nice about it too. Maybe if the food was actually good it would be worth a little bit of the run around but it's not. Don't waste your money there's way better food places in Houston to eat at before you decide to stop here at this restaurant with sorry customer service. read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. I think this restaurant got too popular, too fast. For 2 or so visits, we waited over an hour for cold food. Then, the last time, I found a small roach in my hash browns. That was enough attempts for me. It's a shame, because the food was good the first time (which is why I gave them several chances). read more
