Poor customer service!

by aposcovsky at Citysearch

The location on Westheimer, which I have go to every Sun morning for years, has pushed me out the door. At first I thought itwas this one waitstaff person. But it all. I sit near the front and and get Coffee and a tuna Melt every time. The tuna Melt is why I drive 5 miles out of my way.

But they never return to more coffee and sometimes I never get water also. I asked for cream once and the lady never returned.

So, get the food to go!!!

The food is good and the price is fair.

The service is POOR!!!

I know a $1 tip on a $7 meal is low, but, perhaps if I got better service, I might leave $1.50.

Your best bet for easy-bake Jello pie

by papa_dough at Citysearch

We finally were drawn in by the alluring sign on Kirby tonight. The House of Pies may conjure up nostalgic emotions; even the backed up sewer odor in the restaurant is nostalgic, I suppose. The pies were lovingly handcrafted based on the instructions on the back of Jello and cool whip boxes. They tasted OK, but face it people, you could whip up something like this in about 30 minutes at home.

• Pros: Open all the time
• Cons: Not worth the stop

per person minimum sucks

by lynnemcdonald at Citysearch

This restaurant charges a $2.50 per person per table per hour minimum charge. So don't go here unless everyone in your party plans to buy something other than coffee every hour you're there.

• Pros: cheap coffee, good French toast
• Cons: , bad service
