Dot Coffee Shop

"Open 24 hours a day, Dot specializes in breakfast for any time of day. The menu hits on all cylinders, with plates of pancakes, biscuits, French toast, giant omelets, and all the breakfast meats one could want. While diners could build their own breakfasts, Dot offers its own fun combinations and platters, including its Houston omelet — whole eggs loaded with bacon, sausage, ham, onions, bell pepper, and cheddar cheese — and its chicken-fried steak and eggs. Both platters are served with hashbrowns or grits and toast." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley

"Open Until: 24 hours  A part of the Pappas family restaurants, Dot Coffee Shop in Gulfgate has been around since 1967, serving comfort meals to Houstonians 24 hours a day. The menu has a little bit of everything, and even at 3am you can get a chicken fried steak with rich gravy, a chicken fajita omelet served with golden hash browns, or a slice of tart key lime pie. This is where you can have a hearty, no-nonsense meal that tastes just as good in the dead of night as it does when the sun is up." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
