    I am not quite sure why this restaurant does not have consistently high marks in its service food and ambience. I'm going to read through some of the criticisms after I'm done saying this however before I become biased, I'm going to suggest that for as many times as I have been to the black walnut café, I have had incredible service very reliable food and the ambience more than adequate. Today I ate on the patio with some good friends because we arrived early servers were available to take our orders. Typically when you sit on the patio, you have to go in and place your orders however, this particular day we did not which was very pleasant. Coffee was poured with regularity and we simply enjoyed ourselves with a lengthy discussion with good food and with great service. I truthfully enjoy this restaurant.

    I order through Lunchdrop but the food was so bad I had to come review on YELP.. it was 23.00 for nothing but lettuce and tortilla strips. The tiny piece of bread was so hard I tossed it and it was extra! Now I have to go out and get something for lunch. Not happy!

    We had a very nice dining experience here in Cinco Ranch at the Black Walnut. It had been awhile since we had been to one and decided to give them another try. We had previously dined at the one on the Woodlands. The order process is counter service and they bring it your table. Self serve drink and utensil area are also in the equation. Food was good. I think the overall winners were the Nashville hot chicken and the Pot Roast Grilled Cheese. The Mahi Mahi tacos needed more season on the fish and the Alfredo on the Chicken Parm was a little watery. Overall, the restaurant was clean but had to bring it to managers attention that the bathroom needed some attention. Small fixable things for sure, but we would definitely dine there again when in the area.

    Went to Black Walnut with my family for dinner a few weeks ago and wasn't too big of a fan. The food was brought out after a long while and was cold on arrival. The flavors were also not all there to me and moreso on the blander side. The restaurant is quite large with plentiful seating and the overall ambience is that of an American diner. Unlikely to come back because of the quality of the food and the lack of flavor. The menu is not inexpensive either, so definitely felt more difficult to justify the prices.

    We had not been here in a while and came to meet with my podcrew for TrueTalkCafe & we absolutely loved it! There was no wait, plenty of seating available (on a Saturday morning), the food was delicious & there was a young men attending the tables who was the nicest server. I will definitely be back. I had the new Cinnamon Roll french toasts and they were delicious. My friends had the Migas plate, the Texas plate & a sandwich croissant and they all liked their food

    POT ROAST DINNER!!

    It was a very, very delicious. I was utterly surprised. We also found out about the happy hour specials so we will definitely go back during that time 3 to 630pm I believe...and have some appetizers and drinks. Food, Service was really good.

    The food at black walnut is consistent and tasty. I really enjoyed my turkey burger and the sweet potato fries were perfect. Some places undercook them. The dining area smelled kind of dingy and wet so we sat outside.

    SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP
    Helen V.

    Very charming café that's perfect for studying and snacking. I enjoyed a hot vanilla latte, which was a bit too sweet for my taste but still rich and comforting. Alongside, I had the artichoke dip, which was nice and warm, very cheesy, and paired well with the crisp bread. The café has a cozy atmosphere that makes it an ideal spot for getting work done. Whether you're looking for a place to focus or just want to relax with a tasty snack, this café is a great choice.

    Recently visited and less than ideal review. I was reached out by management asked to come back for another try. So I did... Let's just say there was no improvement. As matter of fact it was worse. Ordered an American burger and the French toast with two beverages. Go to the coke station and it glitches to where it doesn't function properly.... Iced tea it is. Go outside to wait for lunch. Guy comes by drops off food and asks if we need anything. I say ketchup and silverware. Got half. Silverware came. I get up to get the ketchup and the sever comes back as says he severed me the wrong American burger. He was stammering a bit so I couldn't understand if it was temp of the requested cook or it was missing toppings. I say it's okay. I'll eat it regardless. I don't want to waste food over cook temp or missing topping. And he began to say it's someone else's. Then said hold on. I then start to think if they were just going to take this item and then serve it to another guest... that's weird. Another person comes out and tells me that the burger order wasn't mine and then offered me a new one. Again I said it's fine I don't want to waste food. Burger wasn't all that great anyways. Heavily seasoned with salt and had that right out of the freezer taste. Overall. Mistakes happen I get it. But it was a weird interaction. I'm sure this dialogue of the process seems innocuous but in the moment it was weird. Furthermore with a second chance given this place isn't really for me.

    My first visit to Black Walnut Cafe and I will be back! Went for breakfast and ordered eggs, potatoes and the chicken Gouda sausage! It was delicious- so was the house blend coffee! Service was amazing ! Prices are a bit high for breakfast - but what I am wanting to brag about is the amazing desserts. We ordered a lemon cake slice to split and it was incredible. There was a blueberry topping put on it which was not necessary as the cake was perfect! There wait staff at the bar where we sat were so attentive. I wished that the host would have explained more when we walked in- had no idea where coffee was or where to sit. After paying we were handed our coffee cups and a pager. Overall though great service, food and staff!

    PANCAKE STACK(lemon and blueberry) APPLE & GOUDA CHICKEN SAUSAGE
    Destiny J.

    Ambiance: I've visited other Black Walnut locations before and have had great dishes, I never left a review so here's one from my most recent experience. Across the board, all locations are clean and the environment is very welcoming. Order: Ham and cheese Omelet: The omelet was chefs kiss but the sausage was underwhelming (overpriced for something I could by at the local grocery store.) Lemon Blueberry Pancake Stack: My husband loved the pancake, and thought the jam was a great touch. He felt the same way as I did about the sausage. Customer service: Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Overall experience: The food and ambiance were great, we'd return.

I loved is that there's seating both indoors and outdoors, so you can enjoy the beautiful weather while dining, especially this time of year when the holiday decorations are up. The restaurant is perfectly situated right in front of the central green space so my niece could play within view while we relaxed and enjoyed our meals, a total win-win! Now, about the food... Everything we ordered was absolutely DELICIOUS and packed with flavor. It's hard to pick just one dish to recommend, but if I had to, I'd say the cauliflower bites were my fav and are a definite must try. Perfectly seasoned with a little spicy kick. The beignets were another standout...light, crispy, and not overly sweet; plus it came with a little dipping sauce. I had the kale and mushroom pasta dish which was heaven for this pasta-loving girl. It was fresh and full of bold flavors. You could taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite (and the added shrimp were HUGE). Don't forget to grab a matcha latte. I had the lavender flavor and it was the perfect balance of sweetness. Highly recommend as well.

Having ordered them once (to go) from this location as well as in-house at the Town & Country location, where they were very good both times, somebody was just a little off their game today.

What made it even more frustrating is that we've been to the Cypress location many times, and every single visit there has been exceptional -- great food, great service, and consistently enjoyable. Unfortunately, the La Centerra location was the complete opposite. We waited over an hour for our food, only to receive the wrong appetizer. The fajita plate arrived cold and without rice, beans, or tortillas. We sent both dishes back. The replacement appetizer -- ceviche tostadas -- finally arrived, but it was overloaded with lemon to the point of being unbearably sour. Meanwhile, there were still no tortillas, rice, or beans in sight. No drink refills, no updates, and barely any service during the entire wait. After another long stretch of waiting, we finally asked the server what was happening, only for her to return and tell us the kitchen was closing and they no longer had tortillas, rice, or beans available. At that point, after nearly 1.5 hours, we walked out with nothing but a to-go box of fajita meat. To the manager's credit, they removed the appetizer and fajita charges from the bill, but the experience itself left such a bad taste that it completely overshadowed the gesture. Extremely disappointing, especially compared to the excellent standards we've experienced at the Cypress location. Sadly, we will not be returning to this location.

We arrived and sat outside due to having a dog, beating the small waitlist they had of people wanting to eat inside.

Our server was attentive and quick, although she did make a remark asking if one of our party was sure they wanted to order as much as they did. Ignoring that, ordering was smooth. We got their pancakes, French toast, a side order of bacon, side order of sausage, and ranch omelette with biscuits and grits. Everything was good but the standouts were the pancakes and omelette that were very filling and hit the spot. Not many brunch places can be consistently good across all dishes but Toasted Yolk certainly was. It's convenient, relatively cheap, and good food.

She responded, but then added an unwelcoming comment: "Are you just here or have you been waiting? If you just got here, please be patient." That really threw me off. As someone who has worked as a server before, I would never speak to customers that way. It felt unnecessary and rude. To make things worse, when our food arrived, I noticed what looked like a small metal piece (possibly a wire or bristle) on the plate next to the bacon. That's a serious food safety concern and very alarming. When the server came back, she didn't apologize or acknowledge the issue at all, which made the experience even more disappointing. Overall, between the poor service and the issue with the food, I was very disappointed. After this experience, this restaurant is now on my blacklist. I won't be returning.

He also came out after the mains were served to make sure everything was being enjoyed. We ordered a few sampler platters for appetizers, as well as oxtail, antelope and ostrich for the mains as we wanted to get a taste of everything. There was nothing that didn't taste amazing! This was the first time we tried camel, kangaroo, antelope and ostrich. We were surprised at how flavorful each of them and the other items were. The adventure was topped off with a slice of the most amazing key lime pie, courtesy of the chef. We will definitely be returning!

    Don't judge a restaurant by the outside! Judge it by their menu…read more Table for 2 and our baby for Mother's Day Brunch. $42 per person for a 3 course brunch, sign us up! $55 for premium experience, even better! But wait, there's more....... The exterior could definitely use some work. Host stand plopped outside. Inside felt a little crowded. Wine cellar-ish. Mother's Day, a bit chaotic for all restaurants. Took 10-15 minutes to be greeted after being sat. No big deal, I get it. Santiago was great. We did the mystery mimosa experience which was fun! We go to order our food and BOOM!! This is where they get you. It was all a lie. A very deceiving menu written in a way where you think you're going to get oxtails and jollof rice plus appetizer and dessert for $55 per person. Because that's a great price, not really a deal, just a great price. WRONG. Santiago had to clarify that it was $55 EXTRA ON TOP OF $42 PER PERSON. SO $97 PER PERSON FOR OXTAILS AND JOLLOF RICE, AN APP & DESSERT. RIDICULOUS! TOTALLY DISHONEST AND DECEIVING. Write it as $55 additional per person, so everyone knows what they're getting into before they reserve their table. Because Santiago admitted everyone he served that day was shocked at the additional cost. Not wanting to ruin my wife's FIRST Mother's Day, I brushed it off and still continued with the order. Appetizer: tequeño & empanada. Bland, came out cold and after our entrees came out. Entrees: Oxtail & Jollof rice. I loved it. Flavor was great. Just wish there was a lot more. For $97, you expect to have 6-8 large oxtails and a side of rice. What i got was 4 very tiny oxtails and a full plate of rice!! Peri peri chicken & jollof rice- flavor was nice and smoky. But again, for $97, you expect more than 2 avg size leg quarters and a full plate of rice. Dessert: They were out of key lime pie by noon. I saw the cheesecake, it was a thin plain slice, so we opted for their seis leches cake. It was not good. It was not soaked enough, very dry. The reason the score wasn't lower was because service was great, the entrees tasted great and they gave each mother a single rose and Mother's Day card which had a pin in it that said best mom ever. Which made my wife's day even that much better. Thank you Chef Casey. But I don't think I would visit again solely based on the deceiving menu and small portions that are not worth the additional cost.

    What a stunning restaurant. The greenery throughout the store made everything feel so wholesome and…read morethe elegant decor added a touch of sophistication. The exterior is just as beautifully decorated. It's clear that chef-owner Lori Pope poured a lot of time, heart, and soul into both the menu and the store's design. The hostess was super friendly. As soon as I walked in, she gave me a warm and smiling greeting. The menu was a feast for the eyes. It had a lot of lovely pictures of the different dishes. I was ecstatic to see that there were so many vegetarian and vegan friendly options. Also, most of the dishes can be requested to be made gluten-free. Big plus. You don't order at your table, instead you go to the counter in the back and make sure to bring the sheet with your table number on it. The gal at the counter who took our order wasn't as friendly as the hostess but she was polite enough to inform us about the 15% charge. The food came out very quickly. Hopefully it's because they had a ton of people working in the back. Hopefully. I ordered the Magic Mushroom Tacos and thought it was a beautiful plate. My favorite thing about the dish is the tortillas. It had a nice light crisp to it and kept all the fillings intact from start to finish. The "Magic Mushrooms" were good but could have been better if the batter were lighter and crispier. The batter was a little on the heavy and dense side for me. I also think the sauce could be even better if it had a bit less oil and a bit more flavor. I really enjoyed the potato slices and the fresh berries were a great way to cleanse the palate. My lunch date ordered the Biscuit and gravy dish and thought it was good. We also ordered a side of the Belgian waffle to share. I thought the waffle on its own was extremely sweet and way too dense for my liking. I am happy there's a locally owned and created brunch place like Harvest Kitchen and will definitely be back to try other dishes. Note: There's an automatic 15% service charge to every order.

    To the point: Atmosphere - great…read moreGreet - good Food - good Service - fair Cleanliness - great Would I return - only if in a group and this was the choice I unfortunately don't agree with an automatic tip! This is done because of the ordering process and the requirement to pay at the top of the meal rather than at the end and service was actually performed. The fact that all was done was the delivery of our order and not one check on the table to see how the meal was. They did come by and ask for the dishes, but didn't ask how the meal was. Rating: AWESOME - GREAT - GOOD - FAIR - POOR
