Nate's Diner — Restaurant in Texas

We went to our fathers grave at the Houston National Cemetery and looked for food places near there, Nate's was the first to appear. Nate's had such good ratings we picked it and my goodness are we thankful we did. We were a group of 6 including 1 child. We got seated promptly, served our drinks and our order was taken swiftly. Some of us ordered lunch which was wonderful and some ordered breakfast which was even better, imho. The home potatoes were delicious, the hashbrown were crispy but still soft in the middle. The chicken and waffles were phenomenal. The fried okra is outstanding. The biscuits and gravy were drool worthy. Their sourdough toast was also amazing. One person got the sirloin steak with green beans and fried okra and said it was all fantastic. One person got the philly cheesesteak sammie with onion rings and said it was the best they had ever had, the onion rings were soooo good. One person got chicken and waffles and they were amazing. One person got the biscuits and gravy meal with sausage patties, home fries and eggs sunny side up. It was so good!!!!! If i had to complain it would be there was no sausage in the gravy, but it didn't matter it was so good. The biscuits look thin but they are so good. We also had the Texas scramble, which was also delicious. The whole experience was great and if you are...

Showed up before 8am (their opening time) and waited until that time to walk towards the entrance with a coworker as we were meeting with two other coworkers for a breakfast meeting. The door was locked, I knocked and could see someone was in the kitchen but we ended up having to wait until an employee pulled up in their car at 8:10am to open up the door. We walked in behind the employee and weren't greeted or told where to sit or given menus. My coworker and I found a booth and waited five minutes for the staff to greet us and offer us drinks. We were waiting for two other people but made our drink order which wasn't brought out until the last person arrived ten minutes later. The cups were huge and one of my coworker's cold coffees was also large and looked and tasted yummy. I ordered the chicken and waffles and two medium eggs. There didn't seem to be any complaints about the food from my coworkers or I, and as we were the only patrons in the restaurant the service started to get better. Overall, aside from the place not being opened on time and a bad start to the service the food was okay, nothing spectacular but...

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.
