City Cafe Menu

City Cafe, located in South Houston, is an old-school diner offering a wide range of breakfast and comfort foods. The atmosphere is welcoming, with attentive and friendly staff, including Gina, a top-notch server. The menu boasts diverse options, with standout dishes like the bacon and sausage omelette, served with perfectly cooked home-made potatoes. The hashbrowns are a hit, crunchy and grilled thinly. While prices can be inconsistent, the affordability and ample seating make it a favorite spot for many. The restaurant's ventilation is good, and they close promptly at 2:45 p.m. City Cafe's Big Fat Greek Salad and Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich are highly recommended, offering a taste of homemade goodness in a cozy setting.
