If you want a delicious breakfast, make a stop here and you will always want to come back. They have the most delicious food and it's freshly made! Their milkshakes are even better

If I could rate Avalon Diner higher than 5 stars I would!! Originally the Avalon was a 1930’s drug store. I appreciate they have kept the same style theme and have chosen to hang pictures of the ordinal drug store on the walls. We have eaten all over the city during our visit. From high end steakhouses to local places such as the Avalon Diner. They gave us the best food and service all week! We went back twice so far and probably will go back a third time before we leave Houston. Everything is homemade and your taste buds will thank you for dining here! Their chili is quite possibly the best I have ever had! Their homemade biscuits….wow!! The chicken fried steak is tender and their cream gravy is so yummy!! I could go on and on about this place. You have try this spot and I know you won’t regret it.

An beautiful classic diner vibe with a great selection of breakfast and lunch options. We went here for breakfast and it did not disappoint. Lots of seating but the place was very full, so we ended up sitting at the bar. They customized an order for me (changing the French toast to waffles) so that was greatly appreciated, and the breakfast enchiladas were delicious. Not too pricey either, given the portion sizes and the location of the spot. It well exceeded my expectations and is a great breakfast spot to grab a bite.

I’ve been passing by this diner since I was a kid and had never stopped in. Today after running errands I decided to give it a try since it had high ratings and I’m so happy I did because I love a good diner. Diners have honest food served quick with great service and Avalon Diner checks off all the boxes with high marks. The waitresses call you honey, baby, sweetie and they have all the answers to anything you might be curious. They have outdoor seating as well as an old school counter with stools, booths, tables, a phone booth, Coke fridge, TVs, and a candy counter at the register. I usually don’t eat sweet food for breakfast but the caramel banana pecan pancakes were calling my name. I got the 2 slice order and it was just enough because they cut them in half. I appreciated that it wasn’t soaking in caramel either, so you could really taste the challah bread. It was cooked well and not soggy which is also important in getting a yummy French toast order. My wife got a pancake with a side of bacon. She loved it saying the batter reminded her of a diner from her childhood. The sausage was really crisp on the outside but moist on the inside. I almost ordered another serving of it just to take home. Our waitress was the sweetest, checking on us often and making sure we had enough coffee. You can see and hear the cooks on the griddle making orders. Your table is wiped down as soon as you sit down and water I brought immediately. Other servers and cooks will check on you as they pass your table to refill your drinks and pick up extra plates. I regret not having stopped here sooner, but this is definitely my newest breakfast spot.

4.8/5 Classic drugstore diner vibe with the decor and menu items on point. We went at the peak of their busy hours (Sunday Morning) and had a bit of a wait (~25 mins) so bring your patience. We got the big breakfast and Grill Cook’s Medley and both were great! And to top it all off, they do have the best coffee as advertised! Highly recommend and will be coming back!

It was exactly what we were hoping for overall. The ambiance, the service, the hospitality, the menu - it was all on point. The food at my table ranged from good to great. I had the 1938 Original Hamburger with the works plus cheese and bacon and curly fries and it was fantastic! The reviews on the meatloaf, chicken salad sandwich, and chicken strip salad were all very good. The desserts of apple pie, coconut cream, and chocolate mouse were amazing. Look forward to going again!

This is one of the best old-school diners in town. The breakfast is southern comfort and is amazing. Their biscuits are warm and fluffy, their gravy is nice and thick, and their eggs are very tasty. Their breakfast meats are very good and well cured. The staff is amazing. They will welcome you with an open smile and if they identify you as a regular they will remember who you are and what you like to eat. It is a shame that places like this are dying but I’m glad the Avalon diner is going strong. Highly recommend for breakfast.

If you like the diner vibe, you will love this place. Ronnie flagged me down the second I walked in the door, got me seated, and then made sure the coffee cup never reached the bottom. I had an omelet, fruit, and toast. The only thing I didn't love was the cheese, weirdly, but that is just a person preference, I am sure.

It was pretty crowded and tight seating but the place was quaint the service excellent and the food good, I definitely enjoyed my chicken fried steak and eggs (a first for me) great homemade flavor.

The service was quick and efficient. A little too quick as the waitress tried to take a plate away from us before we were done eating. That was the only weird thing that we experienced. The food was good and there was a lot of it. The atmosphere was busy and you definitely see a lot of return customers here eating and meeting friends to chit chat. All & all, it was comfortable and fast.

Atmosphere was pretty cool, and the service was good but the food was lacking any seasoning. It was very bland… which is typical of diner food, but this was worse than expected. Also, prices were too high for the lack of quality-seemed to be mostly cheap and frozen ingredients.
