    I first came here in 2014 and the diner was packed. Traditional diner experience with incredibly great food. Went back last weekend and the food was just as wonderful as I remembered, although a diner should have real coffee mugs, and not disposable cups. It now feels like a strange combination of fast food aspects mixed with diner vibes, which is a little confusing. They said the original diner part is only open on game day weekends, so we were lucky. I still love this place and highly recommend it! It's unique, the people who work there so friendly, And the food is amazing! (just please get some real mugs for the actual diner :))

    Hullabaloo Diner, it has been years since I’ve been back (they are closed Monday-Wednesday) and have limited hours but going on a Sunday morning for brunch was delicious! Save room for a cinnamon roll if they still have them when you’re there. The pancakes, so delicious!!

    Hullabaloo Diner is truly the best spot for great vibes in College Station, Texas. It's such a unique place, and the food is absolutely incredible! They've been featured on the Food Network twice, making it an iconic destination—plus, movies have been filmed here. The diner is home to two talking parrots that provide endless entertainment. There’s also a bar, and every Sunday morning, a live singer performs who is simply fantastic. It's a perfect place to bring the whole family!

    We ate here at the recommendation of our oldest daughter and we were not disappointed! All of the staff were so nice, and the food is exactly like you would get at your grandmother's house. It's a great atmosphere and fantastic over all experience! We enjoyed every bite! Lastly, this place will actually have "real butter" which is something I appreciate. 😊 Of course we will be back!
