No bacon?Anybody near Coldspring? If so, try out the Paradise Cafe downtown. They have a "Country Eggs Benedict" that is orgasmic! Split a biscuit, sausage patty on each half, egg of you r choice on each half. cover with sausage gravy, Add a side of home fries and the pusher of your choice.
Just writing about it, excuse me while I go have e cigarettes'
Little Mama’s was were we ate a lot when working the renfest, but it closed about when you moved into the area! Before the toll road bipassed Tomball I used to eat many a breakfast at the Nook on Main Street.Haven't really found a great breakfast place since we've been here. Still haven't been able to try Goodson's - which a few folks have raved about. There's place in town called Kitty's that seems to be breakfast only, but every time I've suggested it, it seems they're already closed.
Denny's is about the most reliable (not best) since they're 24/7. I took my wife to Waffle House the other night - her first time in a Waffle House. Since it was before midnight, we didn't get shot/stabbed or raped. The food was alright. Again, not the best, but not the worst.
I'd love to find a place that does breakfast right with country potatoes fried crisp, bacon, ham, sausage, eggs, and toast or a stack of pancakes.
The other curiosity - there aren't many 24/7 places we've found, especially 24/7 sit-down eateries. The other night we wound up at Waffle House because the wife nixed Denny's, the lines for Chic-Fil-A and Whataburger were both stupid long (it was 9:30) and the mom & pop places she found either closed at 9 or 10, and there happened to be a Waffle House across the parking lot from the Chic-Fil-A we stopped to check out.
There's a Black Bear Diner over near spring, but that's quite a trek. Black Bear is pretty good food - at least all the ones I ate at on the west coast were. We were shocked as hell to see a Black Bear Diner here - but I guess they must've gotten a huge capital infusion and started seriously expanding, or they opened up their franchise options or something. They used to be known for huge portions of good food, the portion size dwindled quite a bit a few years ago around the same time the tomato shortage nationwide hit. I don't think the two were related, but that's when I noticed the portions shrunk by about 30% on most items. A stack of pancakes went from 3 to 2.
In the PNW there's a chain of old school diners called Shari's that were usually reliable for a decent breakfast. Kind of Denny's like, but with a homier feel. For those who've been to the mid-west, they were VERY much like Perkins restaurants. At least the Perkins' in Kansas and Missouri I've eaten at.
We do breakfast for dinner pretty often, since its an easy meal usually and a nice change up.

It’s been a very long time since I was in there. I remember pulling in before they opened with people waiting. Back then food & service were both great. IIRC the Nook owner had another Nook on a island in the Caribbean. They were into scuba!My wife and I gave the Nook a try and weren't really impressed. We might give it a second chance at another time, IIRC she had a breakfast sandwhich, I had their breakfast platter with eggs/ham/bacon/hashbrowns. Could've been an off day for them.

I judge restaurant on vehicles parked there!
Anyone remember the Pitt Grill restaurants? They were one of the best places to have breakfast, and you could have breakfast any time of the day.
When I still lived at home, my stepmom always made a HUGE breakfast every Saturday and Sunday morning. It was like a breakfast buffet at our house!
@Sasquatch, I have never eaten breakfast at Goodson's, but they were at the top of my list for chicken fried steak if I was close to one!
Denny's is alright for breakfast. Not the best, but not the worst. Waffle House is one I liked to eat as well. IHOP was another one I liked for breakfast as well.
IHOP is always good. If you read the fine print in their menus - their omelettes have a bit of pancake batter mixed in - its I guess how their omelettes are as fluffy as they are.
I'm a pancake guy when I hit an IHOP! I do love me some good pancakes, and IHOP has good pancakes. Waffle House, has pretty good pancakes too.
I guess going back many years, I fell in love with those old-style greasy spoon diner breakfast's! Some scrambled eggs, sausages, biscuits with gravy and some hash browns that were cooked on the flat-top. Those types of places your cardiologist warned you to stay away from!
If you're ever near Groesbeck, there's a restaurant in the sale barn there that's worth the trip. They even do homemade desserts....I fondly remember when i was much younger, getting up real early to hit the sale barns with my father. Most all of them had a cafe inside or right next door to them. I loved eating breakfast at those. Dad would also stop off at the Pitt Grill for coffee on his way to the sale barn. Sometimes we ate breakfast there.
Have yet to make it there, but it’s on the list! What about that Chinese place in Groesbeck? We were there 2 weeks ago (shopping that Brookshires) carry out only, because of COVID!If you're ever near Groesbeck, there's a restaurant in the sale barn there that's worth the trip.

I notice we seem to be spending more on groceries for sure, because we don’t go out or get any carry home. I figured I’d loose weight, but my Kamado thinks that’s stupid!
