Great breakfast spot my whole family loved it! Our server Ana was very welcoming and offered us amazing service! Close to the Galleria is a must visit spot if you want to experience great food, coffee and delicious dessert , keep up the great job Avalon Diner on Westheimer.
This is one of the best old-school diners in town. The breakfast is southern comfort and is amazing. Their biscuits are warm and fluffy, their gravy is nice and thick, and their eggs are very tasty. Their breakfast meats are very good and well cured. The staff is amazing.
If I could rate Avalon Diner higher than 5 stars I would!! Everything is homemade and your taste buds will thank you for dining here! Their chili is quite possibly the best I have ever had! Their homemade biscuits….wow!! The chicken fried steak is tender and their cream gravy is so yummy!! I could go on and on about this place. You have try this spot and I know you won’t regret it.
