You'll see LOTS of Tomball locals here for breakfast, lunch and/ or dinner - you know it's one of the really good Tomball Restaurants if the locals eat here! They feature home style cooking and are known for their buffets and the friendly people who work there! The owner will probably check on you as well to make sure everything is ok. When they were over on Snook (for years!), they were The Blueberry Patch. In their new location on Tomball Parkway, they are now just The Patch (same great food and same great service, I might add!).
