    Come here with a big appetite because everything here is big portions! The best omelette I've ever had called the Houston omelette served with hashbrowns!

    The atmosphere of this diner very nostalgic and fun. The food is great and the portions are HUGE! There is a bit of a wait if you come in during breakfast/brunch rush hour, but it is worth the wait.

    Seriously the best chicken fried steak I've ever had in my life! You hardly need a knife to cut it. Also, the cheese sticks are an absolute must!

    Dot Coffee Shop may not share ownership with the infamous Kirby House of Pies, but if restaurants could be related, they'd still be cousins. Read more

    Huge delicious omelet. Great pancakes. Try a grilled biscuit. One of, if not THE, best old school diners in Houston.

    They serve huge portions for the price. Perhaps you should enjoy a delicious 'french toast & bananas' platter or a heaping serving of fried mushrooms?
