I was born and raised in Tomball. My grandma wrote the book The History of Tomball in 1976. Many of her pictures featured in the book are hanging up at the lobby in Denny's and in the museum. ❤

Sadly that B-17 was destroyed in a mid-air collision at a Dallas airshow on Nov 12, 2022.

Mr. Ken at the depot has passed away. There is a statue of him at the depot. I remember standing at the end of the runway when the B17 came in for a landing.

We moved here from california last year and live within walking distance of Mel’s. They had a fire several months ago and will be opening soon. They have been closed and very much missed. Thank you for this amazing video that I’m going to share on my social media page for all my friends and family to get a look at our new hometown.

I miss The Nook. I lived out that way from 2000-2014. I'm currently in Katy. My favorite breakfast place is a little drive over to Patti's in Pattison.

Horrible experience at Mel's Diner. Ordered a Ruben and got burnt black bread with maybe two slices of meat, very little in the sandwich. Sent it back to get normally toasted bread and only the top was replaced and the bottom was till burnt black and the sandwich was cold. I was so excited to try this place, but it was a big disappointment. No mention of Tejas Chocolate & BBQ in Old Town Tomball???

I grew up in Magnolia in the 70's and 80's. Goodson's cafe was awesome. The chicken fried steak is still the best I've had.

I went to Mel's decades ago because I heard it was great. It wasn't anything special. If you want good chicken fried steak in Tomball go to Goodson's.
