Well this is one of the exact reasons I like to try a place out for myself instead of just listening to reviews! This place has been around the corner from my house for some years and never visited... food was everything! I had the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and cabbage... very good and seasoned! My husband had the fried catfish... yum! We will definitely be coming back... nap time now lol read more

Don't waste your time or money to eat here.... the food is not good.... service was good.... but the food is horrible.... no favor.... Cafeteria style food.... better places to eat.... I did not enjoy anything.... read more

Tried this place out and we love it! Fresh food, cooked to order. We have been back several times and ordered different items, chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken , fried catfish and hamburger steak. The sides are tasty and the mozzarella sticks are one of our favorite appetizer. The young servers are very kind and sweet young ladies. read more

The service is fine. The atmosphere was probably at one time nice, but now it is dirty and tore up. The food wasn't horrible. I got the chicken caesar salad it wasn't bad. My husband got the tomato bisque and it tasted like he sauce in Spaghetti O's. He also got the club sandwich, it was decent...mundane. I probably won't come back, nor will I recommend it to anyone. This place needs a good cleaning. read more

Just had flown in from Mexico to drive to Katy to do some real negotiating on a new "gently used" SUV, but hubs was hungry so we read about some places that might be good and not far from the dealer. We found Baccailis Cafe American Country Style Diner so we stopped. Not all reviews were favorable, but I look at the whole picture before deciding...depends on how many reviews persons have previously written and if they had legitimate complaints/concerns. We walked into a really cute place, nicely decorated and attached to a coffee/tea shop. After looking at the menu, my hubs decided right away...I take a little longer.. We bought ordered unsweetened tea...I don't care for many brewed teas which are ultra strong or soured. This tea was fresh.. Hubs ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, Fried Okra and Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. I ordered the Pasta with Shrimp and Mushroom, but asked for Shrimp to be substituted for chicken. Sides were Blackeyed Peas and a Side Salad packed to go. When my plate arrived it had Shrimp.. The waitress took it back to be remade. It did take awhile to be sent back out. My husband wasn't thrilled with his CFS. He felt it was not a quality selection of meat. Portion was very small. Mine arrived, portion was very large and while it tasted pretty good, I can't stop harping on how long it took to get back out to me. Wait Staff was very friendly and attentive to customers. It was only ok...perhaps, breakfast would be a good time to try it out. read more

This is my second and last visit to this restaurant. Very disappointed in the breakfast. Pancake wasn't cooked through. The hashbrowns were like mashed potatoes, bacon had no flavor. The only thing that was decent was the service. read more

The house salad was pretty fresh. I had the ribeye steak with fried okra and potato salad as the sides. I will come back again. They need to work on speed of service. Overall good experience. read more

Baccailis Cafe - Nice atmosphere! - American Near Me - Katy, Texas

We actually went to grab some Fusion next door and stopped in and opted to have a bite. Nice comfort food. Tastes great. Prices are good. Service was good. I like the ambiance-although it has a weird energy of seeming stylistically unclear on direction. Front area has bamboo trees and coastal stick/twigs and tables are glass top sand and seashell (really cool honestly) and the wall art is Italian/Euro Old World...shelves are a bit barren. The space looks like it has plenty of room for an awesome ambiance with some direction-even still-something about it also still works to give an understated homey REAL 'small business' that's more focused on good food and it definitely achieves that so I can't fault it for delivering the interesting balance it still seems to find. While the food isn't 'cutting edge state of the art artisinal sourced'- it clearly doesn't mind or need to be. It's heavily a good niche that many businesses seem to forget are still needed. Just plain good delicious food that isn't marked up in price by paying for ambiance and ambitious ingredients. read more

Stop by with my husband for breakfast and we were not disappointed! The food was fresh and hot when it came out to us! We ordered the American breakfast and the chicken fried chicken breakfast! Both were absolutely delicious! It's one of the first places that actually seasoned the batter of the chicken! The coffee from next door was absolutely delicious as well! I prefer them over Starbucks lol! We just moved 5 minutes away so this will def be our go to breakfast spot! read more

I've been here a few times and tried different dishes and they're pretty consistent. The portions are generous but some of their food is way over seasoned. And it's very obvious their green beans come from a can. A few times I've ordered meatloaf and it was pink in the middle. And every single time I've been there, the wait to order and get food was too long. It doesn't matter what day or time or how empty the restaurant is, you can always count on waiting! read more

This place hits all points in terms of service, quality of food, and low key atmosphere. Everything I have ordered has been fresh. Bonus, while stopping in for breakfast this morning an active duty solider on break staged a surprise visit to his mother and father who were dining for breakfast. Beautiful moment! The reaction of the father when he realized his son was in town was priceless. Mother was obviously in on the surprise. read more

The place feels like you are in Luby's+Panera bread. Clean place with good atmosphere, country music, as it is a american homestyle cooked meal place. While waiting for our food, the aroma that sweetens the air smells delicious! We ordered Hawaiian chicken & Chicken fried steak with creamy gravy. Hawaiian chicken: it was a-ok, nothing special, chicken was cooked fine not dry, flavor wise I didn't like it much so as it tasted more of usual bbq sauce. Chicken fried steak with creamy gravy: mashed potato tasted better than its chicken fried steak. We always wanted to try this local restaurant since we drove by the area sometimes. read more

Broo the food so good always. Service is always the bomb. Great please to eat and study .

Polite but extremely slow. Staff looks unhappy. Food nothing exceptional I had Hawaiian grill chicken and rice plus mixed vegetables. Taste was very average and coffee was undrinkable at least for me. Will not be coming back. read more

This little gem has been a staple in Katy for quite sometime now. My family and I use to frequent it often, but have moved further from the area. We went the other day for a quick EARLY morning breakfast, and it's still as good as ever! The service was prompt, food took about 20 mins to come out. This means it was made to order. My only issue is that they don't necessarily use fresh ingredients in terms of veggies. My omelette had canned mushrooms instead of fresh. It was still tasty nonetheless! It's worth stopping through for a home cooked meal! read more

Good homestyle food, solid expected menu, and friendly atmosphere with attentive wait staff. Location is easily accessible with a suitable parking lot. My chicken fried steak meal was very good! Prices were very reasonable - great value. I was displeased to overhear a lengthy, argumentative discussion between employees and their manager about staff scheduling issues. This was highly unprofessional to be held within earshot of customers in the dining room. But nonetheless, I like the restaurant so I will return again. read more

Very clean and nice decor. Food is good, not great. I believe it is a family operated restaurant. I had the chicken fried steak and, as I said, it was good not great. read more

Great food, friendly service, fast turnaround from ordering to delivery to the tables. Shrimp scampi is superb and big portion. It's definitely a great place to meet up and hang out with friends. It's connected to Fusion 36 read more

My husband had the pork chop breakfast and loved it. I had the combo breakfast. It was all very good but I took off a star because my eggs were overcooked and the hash browns were kind of bland. Other than that the breakast was great and I saw a lot of delicious looking food pass by. Looking forward to trying their dinner specials sometime. We will definately come back! read more

Good neighborhood joint. A good menu with a wide variety of choices and a nice coffee and juice bar connected next door. The staff is generally very friendly and attentive, but at breakfast, you sometimes have to get their attention for a refill. Breakfast is good, and there are plenty of choices. Lunch and dinner are better, and the food is decent, but not particularly outstanding, but it's close and priced reasonably. read more

This restaurant is a small strip center store front. I have gone there twice in the last month. The first was a dine-in with friends. It took over an hour to get our meals and there were only two tables of people in the whole place. The food was mediocre and the service was very poor. There are two teenage waitresses and they appear to be the daughters of the owner. Neither is decent at their jobs. The one we had took three requests to replenish water, two requests for deliver the complete meals as ordered and took away my plate and food when I had glanced away even though I had not finished eating!! The second visit was a take out order. I ordered an order of grits and 2 pieces of toast. It took over 18 minutes from the time I paid until I got my order. I will not be returning to this restaurant ever again. read more

I think Baccailis did a great job in remodeling the cafe to make it look much more clean and modern. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo pasta and switched out my side salad for two other sides. The price was pretty good for the amount of food I got, I even have a lot left over for later on which is a plus! Aside from the good amount of food, the cups and silverware were clean. The only downside to a nice meal, was the lack of good service. The waitress was very dull and it was obvious that she just wanted to go home. There was even a separate customer that was waiting for a while to pick up their food due to the staff talking and not noticing a customer walking in. Overall the experience was okay. read more

Dirty, fingerprints on the glass around the booths, walls are dirty, silly beach theme booth tables, food out of a can. This is Chinese feel not American! And the Boba place next door is attached and sounds like high school! Nothing on the menu about teas and Boba! Yuck! Never again! read more

Excellent food & service, they have a wide variety of choices and good quality food. I Will go back and I will recommend this place to others! read more

Baccailis Cafe - American Near Me - Katy, Texas

We had a delightfully delicious early dinner. Our group had chicken fried chicken, fried cod, & the 4 vegetable plate. Everything was cooked perfectly. A very good value. A nice restaurant where you can eat breakfast all day, lunch or dinner. They have daily specials 3 weekdays. read more

All I can say is, it's mediocre. I don't know if Baccailis is a franchise, but if not, I hope they do make it, because I definitely love local businesses. But as far as a resteraunt and a place to eat? I would have this on the bottom of my list. The food it is very... ehhh, to say the least, the atmosphere is like it would be a mole on Luby's face. The service is very sporadic and almost non-existent at times. The first time I went, the sandwich I got was almost like something that I could make at home, in the middle of the night, in a deep sleep, and not really focusing. The potato salad, taste like it was bought at Kroger but a little past its prime. I went there for breakfast, and though the waffle's seemed ok, the two "sausage" patties it came with tastes like bad meat-cake. My only worry, is this place will fail and take the Fusion drink place next to it down with them. Because that place rocks! (I think their a conjoined venture, or owned by the same person). Overall, for this area of town, it's one of the few decent sit-downs that probably has a regular visit from Health inspectors, unlike other places in this area. But if I didn't' work in this area, and wanted something besides fast food, I would never go here on my day off. read more

Came here for lunch on a whim for work. The flavor of the food was great. The seasoning on the veggies is flavorfully unique. Service was very attentive. Defiantly a keeper! read more

Wow! This place is fantastic!! We had a group of 10 and they did not miss a beat! They sat us quickly, got all the orders correct, and the food was amazing! All 10 of us are for around $100!! I loved that the menus was so versatile, great for our group w some picky eaters :) we will definitely be back! read more

I have been to this place two times. Both times I had the same terrible service. The waitresses here are horrible. I cannot stress this enough, they are TERRIBLE. Both times I have been here we have waited over 30 minutes for our check. Both times we have waited over 30 minutes for refills. The wait staff was very inattentive and just plain rude. I will not be back. The food was okay. I would give this place 3 stars if we were rating the food only. However, the service and atmosphere were so bad, I just can't give this place more than one star. This restaurant is dirty. Like moldy smell once you walk in the door, gross carpet, disgusting restrooms. I would like to see what the kitchen looks like because the place just reeks of dirty socks. I wanted to like this place because of some of the good reviews and it is close to my house. Unfortunately, I did not. I would just stay away from here. I would like to note that the fusion tea place has nothing to do with my review of this disgusting, terribly staffed place. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place, based on reviews. I don't know if I can find anything positive to say about this restaurant to warrant even one star. First, the place was dirty, dust on the molding where the booth met the wall. The service was lackluster at best - our server acted like she wasn't quite sure she worked there. I was tempted to leave before we ordered, and really should have listened to my instinct. The food was horrible - neither my husband nor I could eat much of it. He got a burger and fries, thinking what's more American than that. Well, it was clearly a pre-formed, frozen patty, and he could only stomach 1/4 of it. I ordered the Chicken Bryan, which is described on the menu as having a lemon butter sauce (it was more like a thick white gravy on top), caprino cheese (only a sprinkle of parmesan), and sun-dried tomatoes (a few pieces of diced, fresh tomato). I scraped off the gravy and tried to eat just the chicken to salvage some of the meal. Didn't work- chicken tasted like it had been in the freezer too long. The carrots were so sweet I couldn't eat more that a few bites. It was like eating candy. The salad was fresh, so maybe that will justify the one star... So we asked for the check with most of our food left on both plates. The server didn't notice, or didn't care to ask. I should have said something, but just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. We will never go back. read more

We were looking for a new place for breakfast. Stopped in around 11 am. We both had the Eggs Benedict. It was good with a slice of ham (not Canadian bacon) on one order. And I had mine with sausage. Not many folks in restaurant and service was good. So next day at 11 am again by myself and stopped by for breakfast. Same waitress and seemed like she was pissed at the World. Shocking. No way to run a restaurant. Hard for me to go back when other options are available. read more

My mother may not be American, but she tried her best to feed us all those comfort yummy American foods that most of you loved growing up... AND DANG DID SHE DO A GOOD JOB! This is the restaurant I go to when I miss mom's food. I WILL walk into this restaurant to simply order tomato soup and grilled cheese! I dare you to do the same and tell me it isn't amazing. So far everything has been great. The green beans are the best green beans you can possibly order and being a skilled cook myself, I've been frantically trying to figure out their secret. I recommend trying the awesome patty melt or the ?Cajun Pasta? I think that's what it's called. They are also connected to a drink place next door called Fusion and you can literally sit down and order a drink from next door and have one of those pretty Asian boys deliver it to your table. The waitstaff are adorable bubbly local girls and while they may not have much experience, they are delightfully amusing. read more

My wife and I tried their breakfast and were quite happy with the food and the prices. The service was a decent. My peeve was the obvious neglect of building maintenance. walls badly scuffed behind chairs, full ashtrays outside, frayed carpet, etc. I think you can typically judge a restaurant by its restrooms and these failed. The fancy faucet in the men's restroom has fallen through the counter top and was just hanging by the spout on the sink bowl, cleaning supplies left under the sink, dimly lit, a dirty broken trash can, and smelled bad. I would question how the kitchen looked. The place seems to have the right parts, but they need to pay attention to the details if they want to succeed. read more

Absolutely horrible experience tonight. My church book club chose this restaurant for its quiet atmosphere, lending to a discussion on our book for this month. Upon arrival, we were told they would not wait on us because the number in our party exceeded 5 diners. Mind you there were all of TWO patrons in the cafe at the time. What successful restaurant turns away 8 paying customers?? What would they have done if 2 or more parties of 4 arrived? Turn the extras away? They might as well close their doors now, because there are lots of other places willing to serve parties of 5+ customers. Thank you Habanero's @ Clay/Barker Cypress!! read more

A unique place that boast of home cooked food but looks much more like a trendy place. Tried the chicken fried steak and it was just ok. Everyone around me was having the breakfast so I will be going back to update my review. Staff was very nice. They have a tea house on the side that looked interesting but I just did not have time to try it. read more

I gave this place a try despite the bad reviews. I ordered the Shrimp Weesi, because that was what my waitress suggested. The house salad was pretty, fresh and tasty. The mozzarella sticks were decent. The main course was just bad. It was bland. It also came with the mushrooms I had asked her to leave off. To make it worse, the waitress didn't even check on us for about 25 minutes after food was dropped off. When she did, I mentioned the mushrooms. She said she didn't hear me say no mushrooms. Still got charged for my crap food. Now I'm kicking myself because I'm still hungry and not eating my food. (Also men's bathroom was flooded.) read more
