    i was just searching the web for good burgers to eat around me and this place was listed as a go to place. well my wife and I stopped in and was a little nervous because of the rock climbing place was right next to it and I was concerned about people walking barefooted in front of me as I ate well that's just me. so I went ahead a ordered the basic burger and took the other vision out of my mind. the place to eat is small but we were there at around 2 so we had a place to eat. they have a good menu and the prices are reasonable. the burger came in and BAM good stuff. we will return for the pizza. the place was clean and even the restroom was clean. the service was good. if you looking for a different type of spot to eat we'll try this and the food will not disappoint you.

    I was looking for a place to dine in this area of town with a friend, and this popped up as an option. Thought I would try it out. Imagine my surprise when I arrived, to learn that this place is actually a small open cafe inside of a rock climbing facility. Despite that, we decided to stay and give it a try. The menu lists an array of burgers, sandwiches, and pizzas along with flavored teas. They're some unique and tasty sounding combinations. Also present is a coffee bar for your espresso needs. At the counter, I ordered a burger with goat cheese, arugula, bacon, and bacon jam. It sounded like an interesting combination. Went with the salad instead of fries for my side. You get a choice of either. The burger itself was pretty good though on the small size. The bun really stood out because it looked almost like a biscuit crossed with an English muffin. I realized they must make their buns out of bread they use for pizza dough. While on the denser side, it worked pretty well with the burger patty and toppings. The salad was fresh and light, similar to a Greek salad. It was kinda fun watching the climbers do their thing. While we were dining, several other patrons in office work attire came in and also ordered from the cafe to dine in, with little interest in the rock climbing. So I guess we're not the only ones who came here for the food.

    Why 3 stars? Because our food was okay but it's nice to have a legitimate restaurant inside of a rock climbing studio. --- --- --- Most rock climbing studios probably don't even have a cafe in them, and if they did, they certainly wouldn't be a destination restaurant. When we moved to the area, I bookmarked all highly rated restaurants in the area and this was one of them. It wasn't until I seriously considered going that I found out where it was located. So while I was pretty excited to eat from such a unique place, I was a bit disappointed that everything was fairly average. I ordered the farmhouse burger and my wife went with the Italian pizza. Neither was bad but neither was impressive enough for me to feel like I ever needed to visit again. Unless, of course, we are at the rock climbing studio and work up an appetite.

    So, my first time was so good, I had to return ASAP! Burger overload, ready set go! I return a week or so later, same fabulous burger, same side salad filled with loads of fresh cheese & better than iceberg REAL nutritional lettuce. This time I try the balsamic dressing though, OH MY, talk about top notch restaurant quality bursting tangy, tart, sweet, flavor. Wow, I could just eat the dressing alone. Needless to say just like the first time I devoured every bite of that burger & salad. Just so satisfying. And this time I was able to meet a new server, Melanie, she was amazing & she's a Mel too, double plus. The cook which you can actually see from the ordering counter sends a nice smile from the back also. Pretty sure I'll be a new regular here! FYI don't forget your tip money, they deserve it. Excellent restaurant!

    Burger with a side of fries plus extra cost to change the type of fries. What did I get? 8 tater tots. 8. Is this really the size of a side plus the extra paid to upgrade the type of fry? I'm not usually the one to complain about portion sizes but this is quite a rip off. We all know very well the cost of potatoes and the cost of a bag of frozen potato. A tad cheap on their end. Also ordered sweet potato fries and this was more of what I expected the size of a side being. Chicken salad, wasn't expecting anything fancy here. Chicken wasn't dry so that's a perk. As for the quantity, I guess this is how they make money too. This looks like a salad I make at home on a daily and it cost me 1/8 the price. Granted I'm paying for it to be made for me and packaging supplies. Overall, the food wasn't bad, it was moreso the quantity to price ratio. I shouldn't have needed to spend $40 here to be satisfied for one meal. Especially if there was nothing special to it. I'm all about spending $25 on a fancy burger or $300 on tiny portions of fancy for but I'm not about spending a lot on an average Joe.

    We have the rock climbing gym membership, and we grab a bite to eat here after our climbs regularly. Everything we have ordered from the menu has been awesome, and their pizza is by far the best in the area. My husband is a fan of the buffalo chicken and bacon with blue cheese, and I love the red, white, and green. My favorite burger so far is the classic. The use of housemade English muffins instead of traditional buns is the best. Fries are always nice and crispy. It's a small cafe, and service is always great. Ambiance is laid-back, and it's fun to observe other climbers while you eat.

    The farmhouse
    Patrick G.

    Yes, it is inside of a rock climbing gym. This place makes a mean burger! The farmhouse burger was made to perfection and was an explosion of flavors. Nothing was too overwhelming so it was great. I got the Cajun fries, I'd probably go with plain fries next time, because I couldn't finish them all with the seasoning on it due to how much the burger stuffed me. I got a pizza to go, WOW! You can taste the freshness of the pizza! All of the ingredients taste fresh! Even if you're not into rock climbing, visit the cafe like I did for lunch! It's worth it!

    Avocado Burger & French Fries
    Angel M.

    We heard about this place from watching a review from The Daytripper. My husband and I made it out that way a couple weeks ago and it definitely lived up to the hype! We both got the Avocado Burger with Fries and they did not disappoint. The rock climbing wall was a bit odd to be inside of a café or is it the other way around??? We would probably try it out again one day if we're up in the area.

    Ask the Community - 5 Ate Cafe

    Yelp lists 5 Ate as Vegan. I don't see any way on the menu to determine which things are vegan. I'm sure the salads are. The only thing I see listed as being vegan is a specific cheese. Anyone know where to find more info?

    FYI: Yelp! lists 5.Ate as Pizza and Burgers, not vegan. 5.Ate may be able to cobble something vegan together (substitute a veggie patty for beef), but there is nothing on the menu that is specifically vegan. Give them a call.

At least not enjoy spending it. But with prices these days getting way out of hand what can you do. I got the rattlesnake because I saw it touted as their award winning burger. Not sure from where the award came. But this and their trash can tacos had the emblem next to it. You also get a veggie pack with your to-go burger which has chopped lettuce, pickles, raw onions and 2 slices of tomatoes. That's nice so you don't have to put on the required latex gloves to use their veggie bar to get these yourselves. It's in a separate bag. I thought this was the buger at first and was secretly getting a bit concerned when I saw the cook toss it onto the counter like a bean bag. The cashier was super nice. He offered me water as I waited. They had another guy working in the back cooking the food. You also get a thimble of ketchup in your Togo bag along with a packet of mustard and mayo. The bun was a little burnt. And I couldn't taste any of the mixed in jalapeños. Also I kinda wish they had whole lettuce rather than chopped just because it kept falling out of the burger. But other than these issues the burger was pretty tasty. Definitely not a McDonald's burger like one person posted. But also not the best burger ever as many other posters swear by. Definitely glad I went. But don't know if I'd be willing to spend another $20 on one of their Burgers either. They're closed on Sundays according to Google maps which is old school nice to see.

Cafe & Saloon was one of those places that completely exceeded expectations…read more I'm rarely out in Old Town Spring, but I was in the area picking up a piece of metal art for my patio and wanted to take my mom and brother somewhere unique that we don't have in Katy. A quick Google search brought this place up first with 4.9 stars, which is practically unheard of these days, so we decided to try it. Wow. What a meal. We started with the onion ring basket and a half order of beer bread. The onion rings were fantastic--huge, thick-cut rings with a wonderfully seasoned batter that actually had flavor instead of tasting flat or bland. Served piping hot, which matters to me because I like my food HOT. The ranch dressing was a great addition, too. The beer bread was decent. You could definitely taste the beer, but it wasn't the best loaf I've ever had. Mom, Mark, and I all ordered the grilled ribeye steak sandwich. I'm the only one who got it as designed on the menu. I originally expected more of a slab-of-steak sandwich, but it was actually closer to a Philly cheesesteak style sandwich, which honestly I prefer. Mom and Mark skipped the peppers, onions, garlic aioli, and pepper jack cheese in favor of lettuce, tomato, and mayo instead. Our waiter, Evan, was wonderful! He was friendly, attentive, accommodating, and clearly proud of the restaurant. He even offered to tell us the history of the building and restaurant, which added so much to the experience. The story is also printed on the back of the menu, and it's definitely worth reading. Evan mentioned he's only been there a few months, but he is absolutely an asset to the restaurant as a server. My brother Mark is blind and autistic, and it's honestly not often a server addresses him directly. They usually look to mom or me and ask, "What does he want?," but Evan asked Mark directly. Kudos to him. We had to finish the meal with the historical whiskey chocolate cake, and I'm glad we did. It's served warm with whipped cream on the side, caramel sauce drizzled across the plate, and pecans on top. Absolutely delicious and huge! There were four of us who shared it, and it was more than enough for each of us. Also worth mentioning: the sweet potato fries are an extra $4 but absolutely worth it. These are NOT frozen Ore-Ida fries dumped from a bag. They're clearly fresh cut and homemade, and they were delicious. For nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, the place was packed--at least three-quarters full--and the entire atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Everyone we encountered was friendly. I live in Katy, so Old Town Spring is definitely not nearby for me, but I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone in the area or just passing through. It's easy to see why people love it. A definite five-star experience for us!

The white bread on the side is really unnecessary. The portion was great, and the grilled jalapeño was phenomenal. I could have read the menu wrong but I thought the onions were supposed to be pickled red onions, and they weren't, The ambience was nice. It is an old salon and the nostalgia is dripping all over the place. All the employees were encountered were super friendly. We ordered the Pecan Pie dessert and it was mediocre in my opinion. I don't drink alcohol and normally order cranberry juice. If you want a juice refill you are charged for it. I came here for a Yelp Elite event about a year ago, and this is the first time I had a full dinner experience.

Birria Tacos: 10000/10, my go to! i love these and there are the hands down best birria tacos in my opinion. i get mine in light cheese, cause its a lot of cheese to me.
