While service was good, the food was bland. Gravy had no flavor, biscuit was dry, the only thing decent was the waffle

Baby, Baby, Baby!! This place ain't no joke! If I tell you that this is a great spot to dine...whew! It's my first of many visits because I am a fan now. We came during breakfast time. The food was very delicious, and the service was really great. Our server Amanda was nice, knowledgeable, and quick. She smiled and had a great attitude. I had a vegetable omelette with grits that will blow your mind. Those grits were on point!! My daughter had the three meat omelette with hash browns, and we both had a pancake. If Yelp had sound, y'all would really feel my thoughts. Y'all don't let the building fool you either. It's pretty spacious but quant. Looks like your old school dinner. I will definitely be coming back to my new found jewel. If you're ever on this side, you might want to pop in. It's the real deal!!

City Cafe is great . The food is great always fresh service is quick and very polite everyone is paying attention. The ambiance is normal not sure how else to describe it but not loud . Highly recommended if you are in the Pasadena area or don't mind driving there .

If you've ever wanted to feel like you were being served a home-cooked meal this is the place to go. Our breakfast was really satisfying. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and we were lucky enough to get in before the crowd.

Food Inexpensive Customer ServiceThe food was absolutely delish. You will not be disappointed. The portion size of the pancakes is huge. You can get full off of one. The prices are very affordable. If you are ever in South Houston, you would love the food and quaint ambiance.

Went there for breakfast while in town on business. There was not a lot of people in there that morning which was great. It was a standard diner appearance inside with booths, tables and a counter. The waitress was friendly and efficient. She did a good job. I got the pancake special. It was only 10 dollars and had a ton of food. It was good overall but the pancakes were a little underdone. The centers were a little raw. I just ate around it. I'd go back but ask for more well done pancakes. They're HUGE and thick so maybe they just need to be cooked another 60 seconds.
