Fountain View Cafe

I've been going there for 20 years. Same old grumpy head on the owner that's too mean to buy a smile. There's always butter in the jam pots from the double dippers. Buy individual cups of Dickinson or smuckers or knotts berry or something. Place is always busy and the food is average. But I still like to go, I don't know why, it must be the atmosphere.

Fountainview Cafe is a great neighborhoood breakfast place! Just went there this morning, and our meals were prepared exactly how we like it! The "swedish-style" pancakes were thinner than traditional pancakes (but not too thin), resulting in a light pancake. My over-medium eggs were not runny nor hard, the bacon was crispy, and the grits cooked perfectly (i am from New Orleans). With a coffee and large soda, it came out to $13. What a deal! The food is made to order, so dont your meal delivered too quickly (about 20 minutes or so). But if you want a good home-cooked breakfast, in a laid back neighborhood atmosphere, Fountainview is the place...

Great value, great food...a real humdinger. Straight out of the 80's to mid 90's the FVC offers great food....only people who hate themselves would refuse to eat here. Oh, and after breakfast you can head over to Ron's.

I found this place when I first moved to Houston and we end up there at least once a weekend, if we can find a place to sit. I love to spend time there on Sundays, reading the paper and drinking coffee and ESPECIALLY eating their wonderful food!
