    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!

    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!!!!!

    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.

    Chocolate Pancakes and the Big Plate

    Wow! First, I would like to say I was pleasantly surprised. Driving into an airport for breakfast was a bit off putting, once I got to the 3rd floor, wow! The classic Pan Am posters, light music, and distant chattering of voices and plates clinging really made it a great atmosphere! Not to mention the view of the trees and planes flying. The service is great as well, thank you Brianna for tending to me and my date. Everyone had a smile and was happy to help us for our first time. And of course, the food was great. The potatoes were crispy, aromatic and fresh. The chicken sausage was juicy and had a snap. Pancakes were also fluffy and blueberries on top had a fresh snap as well. Finally the eggs were perfect as well. This place definitely deserves a 5 stars. It will be our main Sunday breakfast place from now on!

    Right in the midst of Conroe Regional Airport, this is a great place to eat and watch the arrival and departures of local air traffic. There isn't a bad seat in the house, but if you want to be at the window, grab a table when it's open and have someone else place your order in the line. Service is good with the kitchen following up with questions about dietary needs. The food is the same Black Walnut menu we all know and love but for some reason our orders were all over cooked. Likely an anomaly.

    "Lobster Benedict"

    It has to be Conroe's most unique hidden gem such a vibey relaxing atmosphere even tho it's at a airport lol. Review time Lobster Benedict: 9.6/10 huge chunks of lobster meat and hollandaise sauce was absolutely spot on even with that they still put some smoked applewood bacon on it.

    Second time here and the food was delicious again. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and it was very thin. Very little chicken, more breading than meat. Ambience was nice- place was packed, but as soon as a table left, staff was immediately clearing it for the next customer. Well staffed and keeping up with the rush was nice. Didn't have to wait a long amount of time. Price was a little higher, but inflation has hit us all. Anyways, great experience this time as well.

    The bar area

    I've only been here once but I enjoyed the food and ambiance. I had the fish plate. It was wonderful. The batter was light and crispy and the cod was cooked to perfection. My friend had the Wednesday special, turkey, avocado, bacon sandwich which I tasted. Now I have to go back just to have it. The portions are generous. You order at the bar/counter and they give you a buzzer but they brought the food to us. It was a little under $20.00 for lunch. I don't know if it's the same menu for dinner. The also serve wine and beer.

    If you're looking for a great sunny place to get brunch with your girlfriends this is definitely the place! I had a very pleasant experience at Black Walnut Cafe with my friends. We all came in around 10:30 am on Monday. It didn't get busier until around 11:30- 12:00. The whole wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. We even had the manager Sana come check on us and she was a delight. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best that morning when we first arrived so we chose to sit inside but I guarantee the next time I come I'll be on the patio. I can only imagine the view from outside. The view inside was beautiful and watching some of the smaller planes flying was pretty cool. It's worth a try if you haven't been.

    Tonight, 3/5/26, we revisited The Red Brick Tavern, in Conroe for dinner…read more We walked in to some local talent on stage belting out song after song. At some point, we lost count on the songs, as one blended into another and each sounded just like the one before it. Hey, it was Thursday and he was a local putting himself out there for us to listen to. It's nice to have live entertainment during dinner and the background music was just background enough. Our seats were near the bar at the high top tables that gave a commanding view of the stage and bar area. The place was crowded for a Thursday night, filled with regulars enjoying the food and ambiance this century old building exudes in spades. Much like the breakfast menu we enjoyed a few weeks ago, our meals were almost identical. We both enjoyed the Reuben sandwich for our dinner. I personally wished it had more kraut, but the corned beef was tender and flavorful. I had added the sweet potato fried and we shared the cheesy fries as an appetizer. Cheesy fries do not do it justice. They were coated with more than enough cheese, accented with chopped onions and other herbs that added flavor and texture. Our waitress was wonderful and explained anything we had a question about during our meal order. I had an amber beer with dinner that really accented the reuben nicely. All in all, the dinner service was as enjoyable as our venture in there for breakfast. The Red Brick Tavern has now become a place we will go to more often ... not only for the food, but for the ambiance. Ciao, Darrell

The food was decent, but trying to get a server and keep one was very challenging. At one point, we seen all the waitresses walking around the cement walkway together far away from customers.... Just hanging out. Not only were we irritated, but I could see that others were as well. My husband had to go to the bar and get a beer since we couldn't find our waitress. The bartender ignored him and continued her story to another employee while my husband stood there. She finished her story and then took his order. This was on a Sunday around 2 PM so it wasn't extremely busy. The service was very disappointing and we won't be back. The two star rating is because the food was decent.

We came here to watch a game that of course, no else cared about inside so we opted to sit outside because we were also with my kids. Took them forever to put it on and hook up the sound. After awhile more people started joining in and watching with us but it's hot in TX and there's no fans out there, plus the food comes out and the flies just swarm you. It took a guy to come help us out on a makeshift fly repellant to make our experience a little better. Server was not attentive at all and was worried about other things I guess. This place would be much better if they changed their kid policy, had fans outside and had better waitresses.

    3 stars? Let me tell you why…read more Cracker Barrel is one of those places that feels like a warm hug from your favorite grandparent -- comforting, familiar, and full of nostalgia. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect: cozy, rustic, and filled with the smell of biscuits and fried apples. I love that it's conveniently located right off the highway, perfect for a casual breakfast stop or a relaxing dinner after a long drive. The quality of the food is consistently solid. The hashbrown casserole is dangerously good, and I've never met a pancake here I didn't like. Everything has that homemade touch that keeps me coming back when I'm craving comfort food. Now, for the less sweet side of the experience: prices have crept up a bit, and for what used to be a very affordable meal, it sometimes feels a little high now. Service can also be hit or miss, not unfriendly, just often stretched thin. There have been a few times when my coffee sat empty longer than I'd like because the staff seemed overwhelmed (to be fair, this place is always busy, so it's understandable). Overall, Cracker Barrel is still a reliable go-to for hearty food and that unmistakable homey atmosphere. If you go, plan for a bit of a wait and bring your patience.

    So, on my birthday, I ran into my BFF in the parking lot at Sam's! She and I agreed to meet at…read moreCracker Barrel in Conroe for coffee and to visit. We were seated right away. It was around 3:30 so there weren't many people there. She explained to the server that we were just there to visit for a bit and have coffee. She also said it was my birthday. The server brought our coffee right away and also brought us some rolls and cornbread. So sweet! When the server brought more coffee, she also brought me a giant piece of cake!!! I have never had their chocolate cake before. Wow!! It is rich and delicious!! We shared it of course (as far as you know ). What a wonderful birthday! It only got better. In the gift shop my friend bought me some candy. Maple Nut Goodies!!! Very close to the ones that Brach's used to make. Can you say "sugar coma"!!! Overall, a perfect visit to my local Cracker Barrel.
