This place pops up on many Houston sandwich or burger list. Not sure why. Looked at the menu online showed they have fish sandwiches. Coworker observes lent so we went. They do not have them anymore and never updated the menu. I ordered a burger he ordered the tuna fish. First off the take forever. An hour to get our order out. They were not busy either. The burger was okay, not bad. Nothing special. Tasted like a Sonic burger. Only five frozen onion rings come with the order. Coworker’s tuna smelled funny. He ate it. Didnt get sick, but definitely smelled funny. The iced tea was spoiled

From the outside, Yale Street Grill is unassuming. From the inside, it's almost as if you stepped into a time machine, and have been transported back to the soda fountain days of yore. They truly have it all; breakfast all day, milkshakes and chocolate sodas for two, feisty and friendly waitresses who are sure to pin a grin on your mug. Yale Street Grill is one of the oldest eateries in the Historic Heights neighbourhood, and you can feel the history, thick, in the walls and air of the place. Be sure to check out the family owned antique shop in the back, and take some of that history home with you. Yale Street Grill is a treasure.

Decent old school dinner. There was a noticeable smell of something foul upon entry. I acclimated within a couple minutes as I expected, but wanted to try this charming little place that time forgot. The food was decent. The portions seemed small for the price though. Ultimately, I got full and was satisfied. If you have high standards, this place isn't for you. Service was good. The katsup bottle has obviously been refilled for several years and the empty creamer packets in the bowl on the table didn't really concern me because I wanted to try the food. If you can eat at the waffle house, you would be ok here. I might go back to try it again. However, If the foul odor is still present, I'm out!

Was craving a hearty diner breakfast so decided to give this place a try. While the service was 5 stars, the food was 3 stars at best. Hash browns were cold and had frozen bits in them. While the chocolate chip pancakes were edible, they also came out cold and butter would not spread on them. I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular, but this was just a fail all around. Sad to say, I will keep searching for a go-to diner as this will not be a place I would return.

If you want to step back to old-fashioned neighborhood cafe with good "home cooking" Yale Street Grill is the place to go. I feel like I am in an episode of "Happy Days" while in the booth, eating a cheeseburger with fries and a big Coke to wash it down. The burger is cooked properly, not dry and plenty of flavor. The lettuce, tomato, pickles are fresh and the fries are the best!

First timer and not impressed. Food was ok. Wait time for food was not acceptable. Order was messed up to add the the long wait time. You would expect the order to be right for the amount of time spent waiting. Dining in for four people. Went on a weekend it was busy don’t know if this is normal for a weekend.

Great little diner. We had breakfast and the staff was extremely attentive. Lots of regulars and the place was quite busy. I had the waffle and my daughter had the happy face pancake, she loved the whipped cream and sprinkles. The waffle was good the coffee was better than Starbucks drip coffee. It’s very casual. My daughter loved all the 35¢ candy options. We will be back, can’t say I’ll be a regular.

Great place to eat. It’s a vintage place like a trip back in time. This has been a restaurant sine 1923. Part of the building was a pharmacy and then a post office over time and now is an antique store.
Great breakfast menu cooked fresh for you. A real diner experience from history w homemade pies and cakes as desert plus ice cream floats.
Very reasonable prices and good service.
We had big breaks plates and drinks. Our total bill was $22. Minor ding was the biscuits appear to have been frozen over handmade.
Lots of locals eat here. A great place to go. Recommended.
