Huddle House

All I can say about this place is YUCK! I watched my waitress cough multiple times while handling people’s food and the service is always slow.

Here’s the deal with Huddle House. It’s the only 24 hour restaurant in Forney (most days of the week, I think it’s not open 24 hours Sunday or Monday). So I’m glad we have one. But it’s like a Denny’s. Have you been to Denny’s? That’s about the same quality of food at Huddle House. Which is cool when you want a Denny’s like experience. The service is friendly, not always super fast. The bacon is not great, which is how I usually rate my breakfast experience, it’s limp, thin, and sad. Coffee is good, eggs are fine, sausage works. I’ve only gotten breakfast here so I can’t speak to their other items. My wife got a shake once, and really liked it, so maybe try that.

My family went there before I did and raved about the place. They took me along the second, awful. Over priced, lazy staff, terrible cooks, manager seemed ok though.

Waitress young but well— no orange juice for breakfast. Brought ketchup Togo packets with meal. Seemed like management set her up for failure. Poor management if they continue to do this.

Hubby liked his breakfast. He got a featured breakfast that was quite ample. Don’t get, I repeat DO NOT get the BLT. You will be tremendously disappointed in the pissley size of the portion you receive. Especially compared to the huge breakfast the hubby got. And it was just so so in taste. A couple strips of bacon and a single layer sandwich. Save ur money and make ur BLT at home! Maybe it’s more of a breakfast place… Lol, Duh (I don’t really like Breakfast food…)

The Pros:
–I got breakfast for dinner.
–The price was OK and the food quality was typical for a diner.
–The manager seemed friendly (she walked past our table when we were leaving and said hello).
The Cons:
–My wife’s eggs were undercooked.
–My cup was dirty. I’m not sure if it wasn’t washed well or if the waitress had food on her hands when she was pouring the drink, but the cup had bits of food around the rim — gross.
–The waitress was extremely unattentive. The restaurant only had two other tables of guests, but we sat there looking around for probably about 15 minutes after we were seated until our waitress acknowledged us. When she actually spoke to us, she was pleasant enough and she must have written down our order accurately since the food came out as we ordered (minus the undercooked eggs), but she forgot our silverware and then we never saw her again until 15 minutes after we were all finished eating, and that’s only because I had to go and find her to ask for the check. By that point we were the only table left in the restaurant.
We were there for about an hour and a half and I’d estimate that the waitress was nowhere in sight for at least an hour of that time. I highly doubt we’ll return and we can’t recommend it to anyone unless they are absolutely craving breakfast for dinner in Forney and if they have a good book to read while they are waiting for their waitress to return.

Tried this place when it first opened. I wrote off the bad food and service as a start up issue. But returned six months later and no improvement. The service is still horrible. The waitresses are not attentive, and our waitress was flipping back between washing dishes and serving tables. I can only hope she washed her hands before handling food. The food was just plain bad. Not to mention it was cold by the time we got it. I never got a refil on my drink and we were in the place for almost an hour.
Skp this place and find another breakfast restaurant. I recommend Mothers Daughters Diner downtown or drive to Terrell or Mesquite and find a Waffle House. Mesquite Diner isn’t bad either. In any event, we won’t be back.

HORRIBLE. Went there tonight and service was awful! First, the server uniform was really dirty and her pants were under the bottom of her shoe. Second, we ordered grits and the bowl was overloaded with butter dripping down the sides of a cracked bowl. We had to ask for silverware after the food was brought out. The syrup container had syrup dried up on it. I asked her to wipe it off. she took it and brought it right back the same way. so we asked for a towel to wipe the table were the syrup sat because it had the table sticky. towel was filthy. Brought it to the cook and he dumped it in a bowl. i could go on about it but o well. the food was hot and fresh… not pleased at all and we will not be back. very disappointed.the 2 stars is for the food. there was 4 of us and another table of 3 and 2

We just went for a Monday morning there were a out 8 tables with people thr the remaining had food from past guest on it the lady that walked by we other food asked us to have a seat where we wanted and we sat a a 2 person table the only clean one in the place and sat and sat and sat we waited for 15 mins as new people came in and sat at tables with food on them and got served drinks and orders taken. Not us we were in can sight of the servers and they kept staring at us we find ally got up and left after almost 20 mins of not even a we will be right there. When we got up to leave thy told us to have a good day I responded you didn’t even serve us and walked out. Will NEVER go back.

Sunday at 6pm ate dinner. We were in forney and needed a place to eat. Not our best choice. If you want cheap, quick food with a diner feel this is the place. If you live in Terrell just go to Terrell Café — way better. Food was bland and predictable. Nothing special. I had the Huddle burger — boring.

Horrible service, cold food, and dirty dishware. We stood at the entrance for over 10 minutes while the waitresses ignored us, and continued serving other customers. When we were finally seated, it took about 20 minutes to receive our food, which was cold by the time we got it. During this time, I discovered that the coffee mug she brought me had bright pink lipstick on the opposite side that I had been drinking out of. The floor of the entire resteraunt was covered in filth– straw wrappers, dirt, food, etc. I would to recommend this place.

Not sure if the others complaining about the bad service were coming in the back door and not heading to the front. We arrived on a Saturday morning, were promptly seated and served coffee and water (both stayed topped off the entire meal). The service was great, the food — it’s Denny’s style — nothing special but just quick and good (hence the one star missing). The place was clean and bright. Overall we liked the place and will go back.

First appearance is hopeful. Smells great. That’s where the pleasantries ended. We had a waitress that was harder to find than a unicorn. The food was wrong and it was all warmed in a microwave right in front of us. It was terrible. Never going there again. We had so much hope for this place.

We tried HH twice after reading horrible reviews and the food and service was good. Here’s the catch: we went for breakfast, mid-​morning, on a weekday. The next time I went was with my 3 year old on Thanksgiving and it was horrendous. They advertised they were open on Thanksgiving and we stopped in after a matinée. We didn’t have Thanksgiving planned until the following day, so we were looking for food. There was only one waitress for the entire restaurant and I am not sure about the cook staff. My son’s grilled cheese wasn’t even grilled. The cheese was still cold. His fries were cold. My food was awful. Now I’m seeing what all the bad reviews are about.
We gave it one more try… but once again it was mid-​morning during the week… no issues. breakfast was good and we had an emergency and took it to go. They were attentive and we left. So I’m thinking it’s a night/​weekend staff issue. Go weekday staff! Alas, we haven’t been back and probable won’t.
Heed the warnings.

Really excited about this place at first. Then it opened. We hav
e been here four times. Food wrong, cold, and the wait was f o r e v e r ! Good luck HH. I won’t be back.

Horrible! Lazy customer service.
Baked potatoes were very dry, plus you have to pay extra for cheese!
Salad is only lettuce and ¼ of a tomato, lettuce was turning brown.
Will never return.

Food was what I expected. Generic. Got a double bacon cheeseburger and to call or small is insulting to small foods everywhere.
The burger meat was burned, too. Fries were average.
Kids got chicken sandwiches and they were good! Juicy and flavorful. Wife got chicken fried steak and it was really good. Mashed potatoes were good. She said the okra was good, but that’s not possible. Okra is disgusting.
Our waitress, Dorian, was very attentive, friendly and good.
I need to try the breakfast.

EDITED
I’m updating my review to say that they’ve completely turned around since our first visit! Food’s been good every time and so has the service. We still ask for extra crispy hash browns though. Can’t beat the prices either. We go fairly often now.

Walking into the place, we were greeted by a heavenly waffle smell. Wow! But I should have read the reviews on here first.
We went to HH for two reasons — 1) We hadn’t tried it yet, and 2) It was Sunday night and one of the few places still open.
Hubby ordered the Philly Steak Omelette and hashbrowns, and got a waffle on the side. The omelette was okay, the hashbrowns really undercooked.
I’m glad we had that waffle or I would have starved. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Melt: Marinated chicken breast, American cheese, Grilled onions on wheat bread. What did I get? A dried up piece of chicken on a bun, wilted lettuce and a tiny slice of tomato on the side, and on a white bun. No cheese, no grilled onions.
Sent it back explaining what I wanted. It came out again, this time with the cheese and grilled onions — but on toasted white bread. I asked for the manager, who looked like she had been the one cooking. She took it back and gave it back to me on toasted wheat bread.
By this time the fries that had been transferred from plate to plate were cold, and the chicken was even drier. I couldn’t finish it.
Our server was very sweet though, although quite inexperienced. I think she will be pretty good as a server in another environment where she can get the training she needs. We had to ask for silverware and napkins, but I can’t complain too much about her.
The ladies’ bathroom was a tad dirty and I think they must have used their cooking grease to clean the floors. They were very greasy and my feet were sliding around. And there were no paper towels.
We’re sticking to Alfredo’s.

First impression — the smell walking in the door will lift you off your feet in delight. Very clean appearance inside and out.
Looking at the previous reviews I had low expectations for the service but I was pleasantly surprised. We came at 7:30pm Saturday, fairly busy, seated quickly and food arrived faster than we thought it would.
Food tasted good with no problems. The vegetable sides looked a little old but tasted ok. The size of the burger is on the small side compared to chili’s or Applebee’s and I believe they’re the same price.
Overall the food was very average.
Coupons are available if you Google for them.
We’ll have to try the breakfast here as well.

Okay… This is a place similar to IHOP or Denny’s. Nice atmosphere… when you walk in you smell waffles! Menu is basically breakfast fare with sandwiches thrown in. We tried the stuffed hash browns! Good, but almost too much food. I ordered a waffle on the side for $ 1.99 extra and it was SO worth it! Perhaps the best thing I ate! So, if you’re looking for a place that stays open all night where you can sit down and fill your craw with some fresh breakfast, then Huddle House is your place. Not the best place to go for a romantic dinner. FYI: the restrooms are one-​holers. Make sure ya lock da door!
