About this business
A recent move to a new location has updated this old-time favorite that has been around for years. Most of the staff has been here so long, they have known the regulars longer than their own children. Homemade, southern cooking dominates the menu and offers such classics as chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, meatloaf and brisket. Breakfast offerings are also worth a stop. Expect to spend a modest amount and be prepared to leave all your vices outside the door.

The food is not good fries are frozen coffee is really bad I make better coffee at home.I thought it was going to be good food because of the area but big mistake. Left very unhappy. Never going back don't recommend to anyone want good food le peep is where to be.
Best frozen lemonade !! Staff seemed a little rushed but ok home style food. Didn't like all the piled up food supplies that were visible and the open kitchen is a little sketchy but if you face the door it's kinda fun in there
Blue cheese bacon burger, simply awesome!
A Houston Institution gone SO BAD! – I visited the River Oaks location on New Year's Day. As a native Houstonian, Avalon Diner and Pharmacy held a special place in my childhood memories. I enjoyed going with my grandparents, sitting at the counter and dining on the best grilled cheese sandwiches and chocolate shakes. I'm sad to report that this diner could not be more different from that fond memory. First thing I notice is how filthy the place is. Food remained on the floor underneath tables from who knows what previous cus... read more
Nothing Special – This place would be like any other diner out there. Maybe it was good back in the day it opened, but now this place is nothing special. The food is like you would find at any other burger joint but the prices to match that food are surely not there. Paying 10 bucks for a burger thats just a little better then any other fast food chain out there is way too much for my wallet. This place is not bad but for the prices they charge, you could definetly find something better, fresher and cheaper.
Meh – I ran in and grabbed a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Never have I ever found a BONE in my chicken noodle soup, from scratch or otherwise. And the soup was bland on top of that. I really wanted to like this place. I may try it again since I hear the burgers are where it's at, but this experience left something to be desired for sure. I used to work at 6420 Richmond and the deli in that building makes from scratch chicken noodle that puts this one to shame.
Not clean and over priced – This morning was my first time visiting the avalon diner and although the food was edible it was certainly nothing to get excited about. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate the food a 5. I am not opposed to eating at greasy spoon diners however when im paying almost 15 bucks for a simple scrambled eggs, sausage, hash brown and coffee breakfast I expect to at least get a little eye contact and maybe even a simple smile from the waitstaff. If you want to be treated nicely and get your day off to a posit... read more
Great Way to Start the Day! – Everytime I stop in and have an omlette at Avalon, my day just goes better. The food is hot and flavorful and served quickly. The waitresses are personable and informal--just the right level of service for a diner. Whenever they greet me with "How you doin', this mornin'?" I feel like Im at my Grandma's house. So what if the waitresses are eating breakfast with you at the counter? You're at home here!
great breakfast, great people watching – Waiting in line to get a table at Avalon is exactly as stated...a line. Sometimes you have to fight it out with other people who cut in front of you. Avalon should shell out the extra cash for a hostess of some sort. I realize it would take away the tradition, but tradition sometimes has to give way to modernization. There are few things less pleasant than practically getting in a fist-fight with someone before breakfast, Once you get a table, the service at this Avalon is outrageousl... read more
