Get the omelets. Excellent, large, cheap and served hot. If you add jalapeños ask for the fresh kind instead of canned to keep your omelet from tasting like nachos.
Miriam GoldmanMarch 15, 2015This spot is an institution for a reason. I've literally never had a bad item here, from salads to milkshakes, delicious eggs Benedict, and yummy coffee. Plus super friendly service!
Great breakfast!! The portion sizes here are massive. Try the Big Country Breakfast - chicken fried steak, biscuits, with hash browns, eggs and a short stack of pancakes.

- 59 Diner still serves up a mean breakfast selection. Surprisingly good TexMex selection like the Machaca with beef and eggs.
Houston PressAugust 4, 2014This is one of the best examples of a good old-fashioned diner we have in the city. Read more
- MarniOctober 20, 2014This diner is classic, and it's great. The burger with the egg on it is oh-so-messy but oh-so-tasty.
Hannah TerryOctober 31, 2012Coffee, chocolate chip pancakes, and bacon. Served by Lois--the Diner Mom. She's nothing less than a hoot. And breakfast is freaking delicious.
Rachi Ya Partners Patna MayesApril 17, 2013Great food for a nice price! Everything is good, so you can't go wrong!
E TJuly 24, 2015The few times I've been to Houston, this is a stop I make. It wasn't as good as it has been all the way around. The food, service, and the menu all were lacking. It's been much better.
Cherie' BoxbergerSeptember 15, 2013The big country breakfast is HUGE. The Machaca. Delicious with corn tortillas. No way to leave hungry
Elle ChurchJanuary 15, 2011Thursday's blue plate is turkey & dressing--my FAVE! Also LOVE the broc, rice & cheese casserole. Oh, and my mom lives & dies by their honey mustard.- 59 Diner's best dishes are the standard diner entrees like a bacon cheeseburger. Order anything schmancy and Phil will turn over in his grave!
- Great huevos rancheros. Not as greasy as Chacho's version.
Chocolate/Mint chocolate shake is the bomb & SW burger my fave! Service is hit & miss. Sheila was very rude & inappropriate.- Southwestern Burger is good too...a healthier burger! Jalapeno poppers good yoo, but the fries are nasty & taste old!
- Chicken Tortilla shake rocks & Chocolate Reeses shake is the bomb too! Fried shrimp overbattered and bland though.
- If you order any breakfast plate that comes with pancakes, you can substitute them for French toast.
candice edwardsSeptember 19, 2011The best pancakes!!!! I ordered two but next time I'm going to just get one...they r so BIG!
The waitresses are so friendly! Every time I come here the ladies always have a sweet story to tell :)
When ordering breakfast, for an amazing kick, order a side of Hugo sauce.
Ayreeze DuPaulDecember 27, 2011loved the buffalo chicken sandwhich....and go to amys ice cream across the street for desert instead- Chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter Cup shake is the bomb! Best item on menu!
- Think you're too healthy? Get a load of their sausage, gravy and biscuits!!!
Today for the first time...the omelettes were not very good!!
- Pot pie attack!!!!! At just $6.95, you get two sides and rolls. Hard to beat this straight diner favorite.
DavidJuly 16, 2011One of the few places left with pourable sugar on the table. Yay! No sugar packets.- Don't order the grits..I can't get a decent serving unless I make them a home myself
Great steak omelette! Get it without cheese to have it low carb AND low fat.
