Lobster Benedict
Bry-Ann S.

Headed to black walnut cafe at the Conroe airport on a Monday during summer to take advantage of kids eat free and watch some planes and man was I surprised. The restaurant is on the third floor of the building and is a light and bright restaurant. You can order at the counter or take a seat at a table and order from scanning the QR code. We ordered at the counter and took a seat by the large windows to watch the planes. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken Benedict and the chicken had spice but not too spicy for my high spice standards and had really good flavor. Star of the show was the hollandaise sauce but unfortunately poached egg yolk was cooked through but lots of hollandaise made up for that. My sister ordered the lobster Benedict - wow- the lobster tasted like it was braised in butter and her yolk was runny on the poached eggs so perfect dish! Kids meals we got were the hamburger and penne pasta and both were great size portions. Usually I worry with kids eat free they're tiny meals but definitely filled our ravenous boys up. And the fries were thin and crispy, delish!! So impressed by the food I want to make my way through the menu. Highly recommend

Amazing view while eating you have the option to eat inside or outside in a 2nd deck patio while watching airplanes take off. Would recommend if you're in the area. Only thing I didn't like is that they took forever with my orange juice and asked about 3 times and had somebody come over asking for proof that I did get an orange juice like why would I lie about that...

My wife heard about Black Walnut Café and wanted to try it out for breakfast one Sunday morning. We have always found that any café that is located at an airport is always a great place to eat and Black Walnut was no exception although a bit different from what we are used to. After waiting in line to get in, we were served cafeteria style and this I was not expecting. It worked and was different. Just not used to this at an airport café. In any case, I tried out the chicken and waffles; a Belgium waffle with some really good chicken tenders to go with my Bloody Mary. My wife went with the ham and cheese omelet with her Bloody Mary. I really enjoyed my chicken and waffles. They chicken was crisp and flavorful and both my wife and I enjoyed our meals and Bloody Maries. Overall, a really good meal served by the window so we could watch the airplanes take off and land. I look forward to returning to the Black Walnut Café.

Ambiance: Cafe with breakfast, brunch, and regular menu items located at the Conroe Regional Airport. Clean, fast, & friendly service! This location is really neat because you can watch the airplanes land/take off and view all of the smaller aircrafts or helicopters. Highly recommend for families, kids, friend groups, or a unique brunch date. I love the avocado toast. My husband says the chicken fried steak is one of the best he's ever had. Highly recommend the mimosas or beermosas. This is a fun spot for bringing out of town guests or enjoying a unique vibe! Patio and indoor seating. Parking onsite. Do note that they are cashless!

We loved checking out the Black Walnut Cafe at the Conroe Airport. It was really cool to see the planes take off on the runway while eating our lunch. We really enjoyed chicken wraps, pork belly blt, & burger. It was a really nice setup to sit inside or outdoors and you order at the counter or at the table. If you order at the counter they give you a tracker and they find you to deliver your food. This was a great experience!

Food and service are always excellent. I ordered the Avacado toast with eggs this morning. Ahmed had the cinnamon roll French toast with eggs. Can't go wrong with that!

Fish tacos

Went for lunch with our office. The food was great and the service was great also. We had Thai lettuce wraps for an appetizer and my entree was the fish tacos. Everything was superb. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

First time here as new transplants from California, and we love it! The food was great, chicken and waffles - YUM! The customer service is beyond exceptional. Our server, Abby was gracious and very knowledgeable about the menu choices. The view of the aircrafts landing and taking off was spectacular!!! We will be back for sure!!! Oh, the Bloody Mary was greeaaattttttt!!!!!

Such a cute cafe. Paulette's is pretty famous in the…read moreDowntown Conroe area. If you stop anyone on the road and ask , maybe dont, its not the good old times...lol... but if you did ...and asked for a good eatery around, they will without fail direct you to Paulette's. Its a bakery cum lunch place. They close by around 3 pm if I remember correctly..... It was a slightly drizzly but hot afternoon when we stopped here. I really wanted something cold, so settled for Frappe. The rest of the order consisted of an eclairs, a pizza, and some macaroons. Everything came out fresh and just so fragrant, maybe it was the hunger...no, I remember distinctly my eyes expectingly looking at the kitchen door from where I could the see pizza getting made...so it must have been the smell.... Macaroons were tiny, but good, the eclairs was really good A great stop, they do close early like most stores around the area so if you want a bite, stop here first, then explore.

My daughter wanted pizza before our show at The Crighton, so we decided to walk around downtown…read moreConroe and try a restaurant we hadn't been to before. Since it was in the evening, we were the only ones there which made for a nice, quiet experience. We ordered the Margherita pizza and it was really cheesy with good flavor. I especially enjoyed the crust, it had a really nice texture and taste. We also tried the Norwegian crepe. It was okay, but honestly, it wasn't quite as good as I expected. The cream served on the side, however, was really good! We finished with some plain beignets to take to go. They were good, but probably not something I would order again. Overall, the staff was friendly, the restaurant had beautiful decor, and the bathrooms were clean. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area, but next time I'll try a different crepe!

Karen is the sweetest server!…read more I took my grandchildren on a brunch date over the summer and wasn't expecting anything different from other First Watch restaurants i've visited. I ordered the Lemon Ricotta pancakes, my grandchildren ordered the Barbocoa Tacos and the Chilaquiles which we all loved. It was during lunch hour which meant it was busy but even when Karen became occupied with another table, she never hesitated to check on us. I was so impressed with her service, i'm finally leaving my first review after years using the app. I don't visit the area often but I will be back to see Karen!

(I really appreciate the text option so we didn't have to wait inside with the crowd of other guests waiting). Our server greeted us promptly and was very friendly. Our drinks were delicious and we ordered the pumpkin spice donut holes for an appetizer. A while later our entrées arrived. I had the rustic frittata with the side salad. The frittata was bland, and the side salad was dry. My son had the farmhouse hash which he said was delicious. Shortly after our meals arrived the donut holes finally made it to the table. The donut holes came with two dipping sauces and were very good. When the waiter brought us our check, I was able to scan it and pay on my phone which I thought was very convenient. Overall, we had a nice visit and we will be back, although I'll try a different entrée next time.
