Everything you always hope a diner will be

by rockdiva at Citysearch

A low key atmosphere, a huge mix of people from all walks of life, competent service, and FANTASTIC food at prices I haven't seen in 10 years. I can not wait to go back. Perfection is in the details, and they don't miss a thing, even my hot chocolate was de-lish!

• Pros: food, people, prices

Best 24 hour restaurant in HOUSTON!

by g1nahis at Citysearch

I'm not lying. It is the best. Service may not be spectacular but what 24 hour joints' service is at 2am? The food is delish! Pies are to die for. I was never a pie girl till I went to House of Pies. Would totally recommend the Patty Melt, medium with the cottage fries (tator tots) and the fresh strawberry pie which is always fresh. GREAT PLACE.

And about the $2.50 minimum per hour - I'm a businesswoman and a once-college student. If they didn't put that minimum you knoooow that college students will just hang out there during cram time and take advantage of the free refills on coffee, while other ppl have to wait to be seated making them unhappy customers and House of Pies out of coffee without profit.

You gotta try it - just be realistic and don't expect a perky waitress who's working the graveyard shift ok?

• Pros: Patty Melt, Cottage Fries, Fresh Strawberry Pie
• Cons: Dull Interior

Must experience at 2am

by luisa10 at Citysearch

Going to house of pies is just one of those things you "do" if you go to Rice, so I got introduced to this place my very first week of college 6 years ago. I can't tell you how many times I've been out at a party or drinking, and just craved a grilled cheese with cottage fries or some pie with coffee. This is one of the best people watching places and is always crowded at 2,3,4am. In fact, why go there if not at those times? I last visited after a Halloween party. It was 3am, and everyone went wearing their costumes, including the sassy waitresses. Very interesting to say the least! Don't go here if you can't take the wait, noise, freaks, boys with boys, and drunks. Best late night eats period.

• Pros: People watching, food....
• Cons: parking, wait at 2 am

Love House of Pies

by freaktwin at Citysearch

I've been going to the House of Pies off Westheimer for years now, and I never get tired of it. I love the o'brien potatoes and pie. I recommened the Bayou Goo and banana cream. The cakes and sundaes are great too, when you don't feel like pie. It is a great place to just hang out with your friends and talk. The service is always great too!

• Pros: Inexpensive, Great Food, Great Service
• Cons: Crowded

my new favorite late-night breakfast spot

by luvthafunk at Citysearch

I just went the other night and got completely full off some pretty darn good breakfast. I would definitley say this place is much better than Denny's or IHOP, and who wouldn't rather support some local business's anyway? I had the Acupulco Breakfast with the potato's o'brien style and the only thing I would have changed is maybe got fries or hash browns instead. The o'brien style potatoes were good and worth trying, its just that hash browns are just hard to beat in my opinion. I was recommended the turkey sandwich by a friend and might have to give that a try next time. I had a friendly waitress and would deem the service very good from my experience.

• Pros: affordable
