★★★★☆ 4.0 Erica Adams · Nov 2025

This is my 2nd visit, but I forgot to leave a review the 1st time. I ordered the chicken and waffles & a side of scrambled eggs. My sister ordered a cheese omelet, grits and waffle. The service was slow (it was pretty packed), but the food was good and the waitresses were nice. I would definitely go back.

I read good reviews on FB so I decided to try this place when I was in the area. Ordered fried chicken steak as they said it’s their specialty. The portion is huge but the batter was not as crispy as i expected. It comes with 2 large sides. The atmosphere here was like a blue collar cafeteria with working people in and out constantly. I will try again if i was in the area.

I had the chicken fried steak from the steam table. It was really good and reasonably priced. Perfect breading and a generous portion. I will definitely return .

City Cafe was a pleasant surprise. The food was both economical and tasty, making it a great value. The menu had good variety, and everything we ordered was flavorful and fresh. The service was friendly and efficient, and the overall atmosphere was ok yet welcoming. Whether you're staying nearby or just looking for a solid spot to grab a bite, City Cafe is definitely worth a visit.

🥔 They call those delicious 🤤 diced potatoes "home fries", with little bits of 🧅 onion in them. I come here for those potatoes. Delicious. And I can have 🎣 fish & eggs 🍳 for breakfast! What's better than that?! The bacon is an add-on. 🥰 The only thing missing to make it the perfect 🎣 breakfast 🍳 experience is the company of my beautiful 😍 wife and our three wonderful children. 💕 🍳 City Cafe ☕️ in South Houston. You should all give it a try.
