  3. Wonderful Breakfast!!!
    The pancakes are uniquely spongy, the eggs are fresh, and the bacon is thick. I love this cafe for Sunday mornings, it feels like your in the country, even though its in the middle of a large city. Pancake sandwich is perfect!!!!

  4. Horrible
    I have had lunch here several times with friends while I always thought the food was ok to good at best and was way overrated in some of my friends mind. Today I went into the Fountain View Caf? for breakfast with 2 friends who has never eaten at this cafe. Without a doubt the worst breakfast I have ever ate. I was trying to think that maybe in basic training I?ve had a worst meal. I came to ...

  6. like a small-town diner; but in the middle of big city
    service was adequate, food was enjoyable; atmosphere reminded me of the small town joint where the old men gather to complain about the weather and drink coffee. I would definately go back.

  7. BEST SOUTHERN BREAKFAST IN TOWN!!! Addicted to this place
    I tried this place out a year ago after reading all the rave reviews on citysearch. they have AWESOME breakfast and even though I always get the same thing, it's amazing. the Biscuits are soft and flaky and buttery, the sausage gravy has a ton of flavor and goes really well with the biscuits AND grits. the eggs are always cooked to perfection. they also have great old fashioned burgers and onion ...

  8. Watch out for the double dippers
    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.

  9. Great neighborhood breakfast place
    really good breakfast and reasonable. serves fresh squeezed juices. has a big menu. however, make sure the guy at counter gets your egg order right. I asked for over medium eggs, got over easy.

  10. Great breakfast spot!
    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 an...

  11. Great Breakfast Spot
    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.

  12. WONDERFUL
    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!
