45 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Houston

“Yummy brunch! Our party of 6 were able to be seated quickly without any reservations on a weekday. We got high tables initially but the servers were kind to allow us to move to a low dining table after it was made available.We didn’t have to wait too long for our food and the ones we ordered were decent as well. Loved the matcha and coffee served here too!Totally would recommend for a fuss free brunch.“

“What a good breakfast experience! The Chicken Wings with Waffle and Catfish with Grits were absolutely delicious! The combination of crispy, juicy chicken and fluffy waffles was really good, and the catfish was cooked to perfection with a side of creamy grits.But what really made our visit stand out was the excellent service. Our server was friendly, attentive. The atmosphere was lively and fun, with a great vibe that added to our enjoyment.If you're looking for a mouthwatering breakfast or brunch, look no further than The Breakfast Klub. We can't wait to go back and try more or their Southern style flavors.“

“I was looking for a new breakfast place and I found this 9 mins away. I had the inspired Italian with the morning meditation juice and I was surprised how good they were. I usually stay away from any type of ethnic inspired dishes specially for breakfast because they tend to flip and I feel like I wasted money but the Inspired Italian was quite an interesting take. A blend of savory, salty, sweet and sour. It's weird to say it on an omelette but this one was quite refreshing. The morning meditation juice was also very nice. Not overly sweet but also an eye candy. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend“

“My favorite location and my favorite breakfast restaurant (outside of my kitchen) ?.I always have a pleasant experience, and the food is consistently delicious while the ambiance of the atmosphere is always light and airy!I usually get the same items when I patronize the restaurant and love how I can customize them to my liking without any objection.First Watch is always my first priority when considering a good breakfast!Vegetarian options: Many items on the menu could be customized and made vegetarian if you prefer.“

“Alex the manger, was able to accommodate a larger group of 40 people of my church group for an Easter banquet, at 7am in the morning.the food was delicious the price is reasonable.the portions were very large.the service was outstanding food/drinks came out fast hot and ready,Alex the manger was very kind/friendly gave us a very loving hospitality. We will most definitely be making reservations agin with him.“

“I took my girlfriend out for some breakfast today for a birthday. As a kick start for her amazing day, let me tell you that it was the best kickstart!! From the amazing food, ESPECIALLY the service from our waiter Roland. With his professional service to accommodate the delicious food, I thank Roland for the great time for breakfast for my girlfriend and I.“

“We came here for breakfast. The cashier and food server were very friendly and polite. The busser was also very nice. The food was delicious. However, as we were finishing up I wanted to refill my coffee right as the restaurant experienced a big rush. There was only one coffee urn for the “bottomless cup” and it was being refilled. I waited several minutes for it to fill as a coffee line formed behind me. In college I worked in the service industry and know how to put the spout back into a coffee urn so I asked a busser if I could. He said he’d go get the manager to help. I didn’t want to wait even longer and the restaurant was packed, so I put it back together myself. I should have just waited, I know. As I did that the manager came out and I nicely and politely told her that I’d already put it back together. I guess she didn’t listen or didn’t hear me because she told me to sharply to give her a second and she’d give us more coffee. I told her, again nicely and politely, that it’s already full. She turned around and literally gave me a look like she wanted to kill me. The lady next to us was surprised too. Through gritted teeth she said, “Like I said, let me get my bearings and we will get you more coffee” in a seething voice. I was a little shaken. She was so incredibly rude. I understand that I should have just waited, but there should have been several coffee urns available and we’d already waited. I’ve been busy and flustered before and I worked in the service industry in college. Even when busy and annoyed, I never spoke to a customer rudely, much less with pure vitriol in my voice and expression. I can’t imagine how she treats the employees. All the other employees were nice and the food was good so that’s why they get four stars. If it weren’t for that run in with the manager over poorly stocked bottomless coffee on a Saturday morning then I would have given five.“

“Steven was our server today and by far this has been the best service I have had in a while. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and had awesome recommendations. We felt like we’ve known him for a while just from our conversations. He made sure we had everything we needed and we never had to search for him. 10/10 would recommend him when you come dine“

“I’ve been to many places far and wide and I’ve never experienced anything quite like this place! The service was amazing and omg our sever Deanna was even better! If I could order her to go I would! I was having such a tough day today and thought nothing would flip my spirit right back round but she is just the most cutest and sweetest person I’ve ever met. I can’t seem to shake this feeling like she is my long lost daughter. I’m a bit embarrassed to say this but I think…. I love her as if she was my own. I think I may look into adopting her but enough of my rambling I just wanted to leave a positive review on here because she left such a positive mark on my day and my life. I will never forget her. My long lost daughter. I love you mijah“

“Coco is a staple for us in midtown. The crepes, paninis, pastries, and gelato are all sublime. They make great coffee/espresso drinks as well. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The outdoor seating is plentiful and the ambient music is enjoyable but not distracting. Recommend the savory crepes - my favorite is the Mediterranean crepe.“

“Popular, reasonably priced, diner experience. Choose from booth or table seating. Went there at 9 a.m. on a Sunday morning and just walked in. By 10 a.m. there was a long wait. Large portions of hearty food. Endless coffee refills. Friendly wait staff. Reliable experience.Parking: Large parking lot in front but it fills up quickly.“

“Had breakfast with my daughter. Our Server, Denzel was absolutely amazing. From the moment he sat us, making sure i had coffee, and making us feel comfortable. He did a great job. And the food is amazing. We love to stop by First Watch everytime we get a chance. From seating, to coffee, Morning Meditation and the food. Everything was great“

“Million Dollar bloody Mary is bland and tasted like it was only bloody mary mix. When I asked for horseradish to add some spice to it (a basic ingredient of any bloody mary) they brought over a horseradish sauce.The cheesy grits were VERY good though.“

“Food and service is great. Leaving 4 stars because although they offer gluten free items, it's not celiac friendly from my experiences. I can't speak for every celiac individual out there but I'm very sensitive to the cross contamination and even if I specify the allergy, it's always enough to make me sick. So sad I can't eat here anymore.“

“Located on the southwest side of Houston, Texas, this hidden gem brunch spot is a true find. With exceptional food quality and top-notch service, it's a must-visit. The spacious layout provides plenty of room to relax or work, and the abundance of outlets ensures you're always powered up. But what truly sets this place apart is its amazing coffee and delicious avocado dishes.“

“Ask for Fidel when you come in - he listens and makes recommendations. Awesome customer service!!!! Manager on duty - Claudie is attentive and cares about the customer experience! Food is delicious must come and try. Waffles, French toast, burgers, salads...you can't go wrong.“

“At Coco Crepes and Coffee, the experience is delightful from start to finish. Their crepes are a work of art, with a perfect balance of texture and flavor that leaves you craving more. Whether you prefer sweet or savory, there's a crepe to suit every palate. And let's not forget about their coffee – smooth, rich, and expertly brewed to perfection. It's the ideal companion to their delectable crepes, adding an extra layer of indulgence to every bite. With friendly service and a cozy ambiance, Coco Crepes and Coffee is the perfect spot to start your day or enjoy a relaxing afternoon treat.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free is available“

“Enjoyed a delicious breakfast before heading to the Fine Arts Museum. Came on a quiet Wednesday morning and really enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and service by my waitress Zeidi I believe was her name. Pictured is the corned beef hash, scrambled eggs, and I substituted the toast with a gluten free version of a strawberry shortcake pancake along with a cappuccino. The ambience is charming and retro reminiscent of the 60’s/70’s with plenty of seating options for groups, couples, solo diners and bar/counter area.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free optionsParking: Plenty of parking, much of the lot was taken (came in on a quiet morning) which I would assume would make weekend dining difficult to find a spot. My guess is the parking lot must be shared by the building behind. Some street parking is available.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space to dine in with kids on booths and wrap around booths with chairs side as well.“

“This was my first visit my daughter took me there for a 1 on 1 daughter and me time and it was awesome ? service great it was clean a mellow type feeling. Atmosphere and vibe great did I mention clean check it out for yourself also multi grain pancakes good healthy choices is on menu however pancakes are huge 1 was my option.thumbs up all the way..“

“First time here. Generous portions, and well-prepared southern food. The "regular" cup of coffee however is bitter.The music selection wasn't the best. Loud, dance club music. Not the best ambient music during breakfast time.“

“Came here for. Quick breakfast. We were seated quickly. The services was great. The coffee was very good. The avocado Benny was very good. Very flavorful. The strawberry shortcake pancakes did not even require syrup it was so sweet! The grits and eggs were ok. I would definitely come back ! The restaurant did get a bit busy as we were leaving. The bathroom was clean and well stocked.Vegetarian options: There were a lot of options. And you are able to swap out items.Kid-friendliness: Had a lot of options. Music was kid friendly.“

“I was visiting the headquarters for the company and I work for and searched yelp for breakfast recommendations. Saw this place and decided to try it. When I pulled up I wasn't sure if I would stop or look for something else. So glad I went in and tried Tee's. It is in a large building on the 1st. I ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese English muffin and it was amazing!!! One of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time. Will definitely come back when in town!!!“

“I recently had a breakfast at First Watch and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service provided by Mya. From the moment I walked in, Mya's warm demeanor and attention to detail made my dining experience truly memorable. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and went above and beyond to ensure that my meal was perfect. Thank you, Mya, for your outstanding service and for making my visit to First Watch so enjoyable. I will definitely be returning!"“

“We just moved here to the area and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg at Shipley's (34 bucks for a dozen kolaches?!) so my husband did some googling and found this place and OMG. The pics posted don't do this place justice. The kolaches and other food items are HUGE for the price, and the small kolaches are the size of the large ones at most other places.The glazed donuts are better than Shipley's and melt-in-your-mouth soft enough to be on-par with Krispy Kreme (only fatter and bigger donuts. ?)We still spent 34 bucks but walked away with a dozen small kolaches AND a dozen glazed donuts. I haven't tried their tacos or coffee yet, but I WILL be coming back. This immediately has become our go-to!“

“I wasn’t planning on stopping by, I was starving and was going to get food at the gas station. I am so glad I stopped in! They were so friendly when I walked in, the food looked amazing, it’s super clean and they have so many good options. It’s also very nicely priced. This place will definitely be a staple for me!“

“Great breakfast spot here in the heights! Snooze does a great job of making brunch cool and fun. They do have the boozy drinks along with really good breakfast. I tend to stay on the healthier side with black coffee and eggs but their menu caters to all to be honest! Greta vibes, always busy and fun.“

“Love This Place I have ate at all the locations just can't get enough. My favorite is the OMG French toast my other favorite is the one tacos the strawberry Martini mimosa. And the strawberry shortcake pancakes are very good I didn't have it personally for myself but someone else had it that I was with it was good. I've been there so many times I can name a bunch of different things that is good that I've tasted or that I've had. If you never been to Houston and you like brunch food that's a great place to go and visit don't sleep on snooze got to try it ?????“

“Got a boudin kolache, a ham egg n cheese croissant, and i nice surprise… 3 donut holes! ? i had mentioned to the cashier i saw they had 4.6 stars and decided to try it. Now i see why. They are so nice and the food items i bought are good! Definitely will come back!“

“this is hands-down my favorites breakfast place, but I still won’t give it more than a four star review because it is a fast food chain. I don’t come here a lot and buy that I mean maybe once every couple of years. I used to come all the time with my friends in high school but honestly, it is kind of expensive to go out for breakfast all the time.mostly it’s best to eat at home and I would love to come here more often especially if other people liked it as much as I did. This place is good for dates, time with family, or even eating by yourself. As always much love from Houston and the universe.Parking: good number of spotsKid-friendliness: good for familyWheelchair accessibility: good access but can be cramped“

“Conveniently location on the street of Alief Clodine!Im so glad I discovered this ma and pa shop! It feels nice to support our local ma and pop shop!They have one of the best kolaches I’ve ever had! They even have boudin kolaches! They also have different options to try for their breakfast items. Absolutely delicious! The bread is buttery soft. There’s also different size of sausages that you can pick from: they have minis, regular, and large. This place will definitely be my new go to for a quick kolache run!“

“the lady working up front was incredibly nice and working the place by herself, she gave us two free donuts which were the best ones i’ve ever had. The sausage biscuit was also the best sausage biscuit i’ve ever had. Please go to this place!“

“I absolutely love the Elote and nachos from here. It is hands down the best refresqueria near the North Shore area, in my opinion. I haven't been here in forever since yesterday and I've missed it. If you pass or are near this area, I recommend stopping by to grab a quick snack or even their aguas frescas, they're so refreshing and taste delicious. It's a relatively small place so one might miss it, but it's definitely worth keeping an extra eye out for it. I used to live 2 minutes away from this refresqueria, the neighborhood right behind it. We used to walk here when we wanted ice cream, snow cones, or any Mexican known snacks, obviously this was when it wasn't 100 degrees in October. I enjoyed going there with my family, it was nice to have a refresqueria so close, before this one opened we used to drive 15 minutes to our nearest one and it wasn't as good. The employees were so nice and helpful, not to mention how good their corn was! I was obsessed! Moving further into the city made me realize how simple and nice it was living where I did, the refresquerias over by my new home aren't that great and they are extremely packed. People just want to get you in and out. I've passes by here a few times, and it seems like the business is doing pretty well and I'm glad it has. I love my Mexican culture and miss visiting Mexico so being in here definitely brings some of those memories back. I do want to say that they should add more parking, the parking is kind of strange, and even more so that there is now a car shop next door who seems to take over 95% of the parking.“

“Went to belle's kitchen for breakfast and ordered the meat lover's omelet with fruit and it's delicious. If you are close give them try and you will not regret it. Prices are reasonable portion sizes are okay but could be bigger for prices.Dietary restrictions: There are many choices to choose from if you are a diabetic.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps are right up front“

“The rainbow trout and key lime pie were good, but at their price point, maybe missing some pizzaz.One thing I had trouble finding was the ordering feature in the Marriott Bonvoy app (which is advertised in the Westin hotels rooms), but I was able to order by phone and the service was very accommodating and food delivery was prompt.“

“Not so busy as usual. Got seated right and immediately our wait person greeted us with a warm and friendly smile and introduced herself as Katherine Elizabeth. She listened as we voiced our request and everything was very timely. Our hat is off to Ms. Elizabeth.“

“A simple place, great traditional food. I had a unique experience with the delicious Country Benedict, with poached eggs on fluffy biscuit topped with thin grilled tomato slices and white country sausage gravy. Each piece was super tender and cut only with a fork. Fantastic! I have been craving it ever since. Burger was great too.“

“We were traveling through Houston on our way to a cruise And looking for breakfast/brunch to start our day - part of the family wanted to go to Cracker Barrel because that’s all they know. Thankfully Cracker Barrel is always too slammed and would have taken hours just to get a table! So we went to Toasted Yolk as it was also nearby and thats where I wanted to go anyway!I put our name on the list and when we got there with our party of 14, we were seated pretty immediately. And it’s not like they were slow by any means, they were pretty busy but they made room and got us seated.When we got seated our waitress took our food and drink order and our food started coming out pretty quickly. We were all surprised.I got the crawfish omelette with a side pancake, my wife got the shrimp and grits, sister and her husband got the brisket tacos to share and the kids got numerous kids items.Everything was so tasty! Some real southern delicious food accompanied by some nice southern hospitality. My crawfish omelette was full of veggies jalapeños and crawfish. So good. The shrimp and grits was so flavorful, I think it was my favorite. Really tasty and a nice sized portion. The pancake was also really delicious and fluffy.We also got a Paloma which was nice and strong and really well made.Everything was tasty. The service was great. Everyone was a happy camper! Hard to do when there are 14 people haha.Don’t go to Cracker Barrel, make sure you go to Toasted Yolk Cafe!“

“Fast friendly efficient service at this location. It has always taken me just a few minutes in and out. Food is consistently prepared well here. Chicken Enchilada is awesome. My kids like the sausage and cheese and pizza. Emily is pretty high energy so of you want to wake up for the morning order from her ?.“

“I have been looking for a place that serves breakfast all day; that's not a chain restaurant. I think I might have found it!! Breakfast is my favorite food; I can eat it all day. So when Hot Stop pooped up in my search I jumped on it. It's a petite size outdoor building, no inside, order and go or you can call in your order. They accept cash and cards; however cards theres a fee. I ordered #18 Toast, eggs, bacon and grits with side pancake cooked crispy which cane to $10. I didnt have to ask for anything, she had everything I needed already in the bag. Food, salt/pepper packs, plastic-wear, napkin, jelly and syrup. This is exactly what I wanted and have been looking for. It reminded me of what my grandparents would cook for us any given morning. Simple and flavorful. They have lunch and dinner items if you are not a breakfast eater. This has been booked marked and I definitely will go back!“

“This is the new spot for my wife and I. The atmosphere is so uplifting and cheerful. We are going to try everything on the menu (eventually). Highly recommend the Brooklyn breakfast sandwich with grits.Parking: The parking was simple and easy.“

“Stopped in to the Mangum location on a whim. Ordered the fried chicken & waffle plate. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, crispy, juicy wonderfulness served up with a very good cream gravy. The waffle rivaled my favorite (Waffle House); hot, crispy, and light. The atmosphere is a bit, let's say...dated, but as a Boomer I was digging the old school, truck stop diner vibe. Don't get me wrong, everything was neat & clean! Food was delish. I'll go back!“

“I particularly enjoyed Pine Grill Food Store, which were culinary delights that exceeded my expectations. The presentation was as impressive as the taste, underscoring the chef's commitment to both culinary artistry and palate satisfaction.“

“This is by far THE best Waffle House we have ever eaten at. The staff are friendly, professional, and prompt.There is so much organization which lends to a very welcoming and accommodating environment. What an overall great experience!!!We will definitely be back when we are in the Houston area.P.S. There may be a short wait, but it's worth the wait.“

“The lady on the grill was the bomb?.com. She was handling it everything was cooked to perfection. She even had some fire R&B TUNES PLAYING in the background. Great experience. Didn't catch her name. Thursday night, last night. 1/18/2024. There should be someone like her in every location. Service with a smile. ?????❤️?“

“Yes, Jason's is a chain and sometimes it can get boring, day-after-day-after-day. However, this location has customer service that sets it apart from others. The only down side is the small parking lot - sometimes you have to park in the back and walk quite a way to the front door. This restaurant would do better to relocate somewhere with better parking.“
