Houston’s Best Diners | Eater Houston
"This kitschy, small-town diner that’s located on Humble’s historic main street is a must-visit for Houston’s diner connoisseurs. Housed in a 1914 building that’s painted in a hard-to-miss red, white, and blue, Humble City Cafe has a down-home feel, with eye-catching country-style decor, complete with red checkered curtains and signs from popular brands. Mornings bring a homestyle breakfast with homemade biscuits, massive pancakes, and home fries, while afternoons and evenings promise white gravy-topped chicken-fried steak that nearly covers the plate and a laundry list of Southern sides ranging from fried green tomatoes and onion rings to mashed potatoes and fried pickles. The burger, sandwiched between a sweet Hawaiian bun, is also a solid choice. Insider tip: Be sure to check out the daily specials, and try not to fill up on the complimentary skillet cornbread, which comes out warm and fluffy with a side of cinnamon butter." - Brittany Britto Garley
