I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
If you’re anything like me, you enjoy taking a trip back in time. While time travel itself is impossible, some ways can make you feel as though you can. For example, visiting an antique store, catching a flick at a drive-in movie theater, or chowing down at an old diner can certainly make you feel like you’ve time-traveled to another era. If that sounds like fun to you, you may want to check out the 100-year-old Yale Street Grill in Houston.
Delicious home-cooked food and an antique store aren't the only things you'll find inside Yale Street Grill in the Houston Heights neighborhood. You will also experience traveling back to simpler times once you enter through its doors.
This old-school diner has been a local favorite for 100 years. It started out as the Yale Street Pharmacy in 1923. At that time, there was an eatery, a post office, and a gift shop in the same building.
Visiting today, it's almost as if nothing has changed for many, many decades. The nostalgia here is palpable, making it such a wonderful place to dine.
Open daily between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Yale Street Grill offers classic American breakfast and lunch dishes to hungry customers. Whether it's a Belgian waffle, pancakes, or an egg dish, you won't go hungry with the huge portions here at Yale Street Grill!
One thing's for sure -- once you visit, you'll understand why this is a local favorite with numerous regular customers and a sense of community like nowhere else in town!
