Wonderful food and staff are very nice. I came for roasted beef but saw the fish and ordered the fish. Wow, it was nice, if you are seafood lover, you shall try their fish.

This is the wholesome atmosphere people have been reminiscing about when it comes to family diners! The food is fresh and plentiful while the service is friendly and abundant.When I remember watching old television shows of diners from the past, the jovial environment, the local regulars laughing over a cup of Joe, the sweet waitresses making your children feel so special - Simos Diner definitely comes to mind.My son and I are willing to drive 30 minutes from Stafford every other weekend just to spend time together at Simos Diner. Theres no better place to enjoy good food and even better service than Simos Diner! Highly recommend 😄

Service was great. Ordered a Greek salad with chicken and it was very good. Issue for me, business closes at 3pm local time. Breakfast wasnt being served anymore. Soup was not being served. Maybe a bad day but felt like it was restricted quite a bit for an 1130am arrival at the diner.

This basic diner done right . Outstanding Marisa kept coffee full and was friendly . Strong coffee and the basics .vegan choices are limited fruit plate and coffee. Comfort food steam table lunch. My friend loved the eggs and bacon. Clean and full of regulars , so many police and fire fighters that you’re safe in emergency.

If you want real excellent food, then this is place! Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! Best diner food and service in Houston! Theres a secret menu item called the Greek burger, burger patty, gyro meat, fried egg, feta cheese, taziki sauce and the vegetables! Best 12$ I ever spent on a burger! Definitely a must for a bucket list!

Really good and fresh food. Such quick service. I know why everyone says they want to go back several times. It is very good home cooked food and you get a lot of food for a small amount of money.

Delicious lunches, with a veggie plate for vegetarians too! Home cooking, vegetables, great for kids too. This is a neat place, I highly recommend if you like diner food or cafeteria style foods.

Simos is a hidden gem. They have a menu that features burgers and some Greek dishes, items Ive yet to order, but their real attraction is the steam table line. A classis meat plus three. Three sides that is. The main courses range from chicken fried steak to stuffed cabbage. My favorite item is the fried fish. A mild white fish coated with cornmeal and perfectly fried. A few weeks ago they had lamb shank, and it was flawless. Most of the side dishes are made with fresh vegetables instead of canned. Veggies like steamed broccoli, stewed squash, greens, and boiled cabbage. I always get a small Greek salad as one of my sides. Honestly, the food is fresh homemade style and you could survive eating there everyday. Simos has many regular customers, including me. The building and prices are quite modest. The service is friendly and welcoming. Keep in mind they close early at 3pm.

Friendly family run old time restaurant. Set up cafeteria style. Daughter and I had a late lunch on a chilly day and the lentil soup really hit the spot. The homemade tarter sauce for my fish was great, and daughter enjoyed the generous serving of chopped steak and gravy. I hope you will support this nice establishment!

Review №42

What a great find, this dining place is! The food is fresh and delicious and there are good healthy choices. Our server was bright, attentive, and friendly (Christina is her name). There are 3 things that could be better, but overall this would be my go-to Saturday morning breakfast spot. Those three things are: 1. It is a little noisy, 2. They do not have or offer real butter, 3. The restroom needs a refresher. Other than that, the food is great, the service is friendly and upbeat, and the menu selections are good.

We had to drive to Houston from Dallas one day, to get our drivers license. We stopped in at this place for breakfast. We had the pancakes with bacon, and the Simos special. Food was good, prices were super affordable, bathrooms were cleaned and so was the dining area. Nice little spot. If I lived in Houston, I would definitely be a regular.

Loved trying this long-standing local diner. Their buffet style steam table was amazing and we also ordered the gyro sandwich off the menu. All was very tasty, not too salty or greasy. I can see why some people come here daily or multiple times a week!

Try their Sizzling Gyro- Greek Lamb Pita with Tzatziki Sauce! EXCELLENT! MUST TRY! I worked here 2 different times. HOME cooking-cut and cooked from scratch. Great people that own the place. laid-back casual comfortable atmosphere. FAB rolls and cornbread. has a special everyday. HUGE breakfast. Reasonable lunch-I believe you get 1 meat, 2 sides and a roll or cornbread for $10-12. they close at 3-breakfast and lunch only!!!
