Nate's Diner Houston Reviews
The waffles and chicken are really good the chicken has good seasoning the the waffles a bit sweet and the fluffy French toast is the perfect amount of sugar
We absolutely love this place. Food is always really good. The service is amazing. Everyone there really seems to pride themselves in their job . Its not a huge place and not fancy but its still beats all the big fancy diners. We will continue coming here.
My wife was craving diner food this morning. They sure do it right here. She had an incredible omelet and a side of pancakes. My daughter had chocolate chip pancakes. I had their chiliqueles. They were just incredible. They also provide veteran discounts which I loved.
We showed up and seated right away. Food was delicious and the portions were well worth the price. I left feeling super full and satisfied! My brother did, too!
Really nice people! Food was served so fast and good quality. I had the chicken fried chicken breakfast plate. I'll definitely come back to try other plates. Saw some delicious looking waffles on the way out!
Waffles from Nates are my favorite, and now the burgers. Definitely hit my cravings right now that I'm pregnant. I'll be sure to keep coming back. Also, service is amazing. The times that I did dine in the staff was very polite. Today I did a pickup and there was a girl there who was so sweet and attentive. Her attitude really made my night. Such a refresher for customer service. 🤗
We found this place on Google Maps. I looked at the reviews and there were great compliments. We have been here 4x since then. Always great food. Very nice portions so be prepared to take some home unless you have a huge appetite and can finish it all. We love the feel of the place. They have lots of memorabilia representing the armed forces. And they give discounts to military, veterans and first responders.
Delicious and good portion sized breakfast tacos. Reasonable price for portion. Very nice service. Lost a phone there too and the crew made sure to keep it safe for us.
Came here for breakfast, this is one of those places that should totally be open 24/7! The food was delicious, I had the voodoo brew as advertised and it was spot on. The avocado toast was good came with eggs and country potatoes. We also tried Nate's burger and it was cooked so tender and juicy. The kids each had a fish from the kids options. The service was also so sweet. Must try diner!
This place is amazing. It’s always a hit every time I go and the Customer Service is so good. The older lady is so nice all the time and every time we go she always recognizes my family but if you want some really good food fresh all the time go here.
Nate’s is tucked away in a small strip center but packs a powerful punch! They were very accommodating with our party of 8 at lunch time. Food was delicious with a variety of offerings. Service was outstanding. Loved it!
Came in at Friday at 4:00 pm Would recommend Nates burger and Belgians waffle Ordered Country fried steak: slightly chewy steak, batter is very season, and gravy is ok and thick. Mine was burnt Nates burger is a very good bar burger very hefty. Chicken and waffle: really good juicy and tender chicken tenderloin but the flavor is lacking and melt in your mouth waffle. Pancake: mediocre wouldn't recommend Mash potatoes: garlic(?) mash potatoes , very tasty but seems a bit small. Fries: thick crinkle cut Fry, uses Caucasian seasoning and it's alright Onion ring: Good frozen onion ring Order Dinner country fried steak come with two sides Nates burger Chicken and waffle Coke Extra pancake Cost $60.07 after tax but before tip. Has A/C Restroom slightly dirty, expected Atmosphere is alright, just like you expect from diner in movies. Service was very attentive, like super attentive. After awhile some alarms were ringing? Seems like cooking alarms...
Our first time here and I’m pleased that we stopped here. The portions are big. The burgers are juicy. They are generous with the fries and onion rings. They serve American diner and Mexican dishes. The pancakes were on the big side. Pictured is Nate’s Burger, the Apple Cinnamon Pancakes and from Sr’s Menu the Cheeseburger & Onion Rings. For these 3 plates it cost about $49.
We had seen this place when we passed a few times by there and never stopped. One day we did and boy we were disappointed to not have stopped before. Nate’s has great food, friendly staff, quick service. We had the Nate’s burger and chicken and waffles. Burger was a good size portion and very juicy. The waffles are so delicious. We also had the voodoo brew and the sunrise. Baby on picture as reference as to how large the portions are and the rinks too. Overall, the experience was amazing!
Wow this place is a real hidden gem. The staff was really nice and attentive, she gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and explained the contents of a few dishes we asked about. The food was DELICIOUS and HOT. Everything tasted fresh and properly cooked through. The Eggs Benedict was also delicious! I'm excited to visit this place again and bring my friends and family. This was a great experience. The portions were big and the prices are fair. If you want high quality breakfast, lunch and dinner, I recommend this place! Next time we're trying the burgers.
First time here at Nate’s with the family. Hands down, a hidden gem! The food was amazing, definitely coming back again. The service was excellent, we did come in right after the a storm of people. Cynthia was our server and she was on top of things! Thank you, for our delicious meal!
I ate inside before. It is old in a homey way. The food portion is a lot, better then ihop portion lol. Price is around $13 and up. The server is nice and chill. DON'T ORDER ONLINE. I came after 30 mins, when I got the text it was ready. I'm in person and it's not ready at all. So far spent 30 mins waiting inside. I haven't got my order yet. I'm annoyed at having to wait longer. Other then that. The place is chill.
First time eating here. Food was SOOOO GOOD! However, the restaurant itself was dirty. When we walked in our shoes were sticking to the floor, the empty tables all needed to be cleaned and the restrooms were both out of toilet paper and toilets were dirty. Our waiter, a young man, didn’t come by to refill drinks and the time we placed our orders until it came to our table was about 25-30 minutes. I don’t think I will return.
Came here to eat with the family, but was turned down. We were getting ready to walk to a table that was empty since no one greeted us or told us where to sit. The waitress than saw us and just got menus, when she took a second look she told us “you’re not going to fit there with that stroller” and out the menus down. She didn’t even try to accommodate us. What type of service is that!
Came in at 8:02pm and we are told the kitchen just closed. I guess they felt it was too much work to serve more food 1 hour before closing. The stuff whispered between themselves, but i could tell it wasnt gonna be a good experience. What a bad 1st impresion to try that meatloaf
