We dropped in for a late lunch on Saturday around 1:00 PM and were greeted promptly and warmly. We were quickly seated and served our drinks, and the waiter came over just a couple of minutes later to check on appetizers. Fried Pickles (Half Order): 10/10! They took a few minutes to arrive, but they came out piping hot and incredibly yummy. Onion Rings: The absolute star of the meal! Crisp, delicious, and perfectly done. Mushroom Swiss Burger: 7/10. I had actually ordered the blackened bacon mushroom burger, but received this instead. It wasn't worth sending back because it was cooked perfectly, though the patty seriously lacked seasoning. Chili Burger: 5/10. My husband's burger tasted more like a basic cheddar cheeseburger topped with sloppy joe mix. The patty wasn't seasoned, and the chili lacked deep flavor. The side of fries, however, was great! The Verdict: We will definitely come back! The food is priced perfectly for the portion sizes, and the service was top-notch. That said, I'd highly recommend sticking to their fried menu items like the fried fish, country fried steak, or frog legs. They clearly have their fried food seasonings down to a science! read more

My husband and I attended the @hopeful_acres gala recently. We won a $50 gift certificate to @blakescafemcqueeney. Today, we checked it out for lunch. We started with their Sweet Chili Wings. Finger licking good! We scarfed down the 8 pieces. 5 stars for the wings. Hubby tried the Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes. They're supposed to be known for this dish and unfortunately it was chewy so it's 3 stars. I ordered the Swiss Mushroom Burger with onion rings. The onion rings were great but the burger lacked seasoning. We got Dad the Beer Battered Alaskan Pollock with sweet potato fries. This entree and side was excellent. We brought home leftovers. Mixed review for this staple in McQueeney. Perhaps it was an off day. The desserts sounded good but we were too full to have any. Would be worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Good Texas home cooking with a nice selection of southern comfort the inside aesthetic matches the outside of the building. It's very rustic and has a very personal feel definitely the place to go when you miss your grandma's cooking. read more

We"ve visited around 10 times and tried many dishes. Most of the time the food is under seasoned. But, that is an easy fix. Today's visit was the same. The atmosphere is wonderful. However, it was so hot that we almost left before the food arrived about 15 minutes after we arrived. We asked the waitress if it was always this hot and the response was that in the summer it was always like an oven and there was nothing she could do about it. so, if comfort is your thing avoid Blake's. read more

I had the Blackened Bacon Burger, it was delicious, cooked just right with fries. Also had Texas bites, Fried Bacon wrapped with cheese and jalapeños bites. The service was great brought our drinks in a timely manner and later our meal. The place is a capsule in time it has a wonderful atmosphere and personality. read more

Food is good, service great.. However whatever you do don't go around closing.. they run around like they're all going to turn into pumpkins.. It made a relaxing dinner into something I want no part of, especially when they're sweeping next o me and my dinner like the floor was on fire.. I get it I'm solo eating.. Leave me alone and go clean somewhere else.. they were running around like there was a fire. Not going back.. read more

I stopped here for lunch today. Have had friends tell me it was good. The food was good but I was completely shocked by the way their staff was. I saw an older waitress cuss out another younger waitress with no regard that the customers could see her and hear her. I was in disbelief. Even people sitting around me noticed and we all looked at each other in disbelief. The younger waitress was visibly shook up. She walked by my table and I asked her if she was ok. She said yeah but I could see she was not. She did not look any older than my own daughter. Probably still in high school. I know I would lose it if I saw an older woman cussing my daughter out. Not sure how the management works here but despite the food being good it left a bad taste in my mouth to ever return. read more

Great food and friendly servers in a country store atmosphere. I come here when I'm jonesing for liver & onions (there are a few of us left). The rest of the menu is great too! read more

I love this restaurant - food is simple, prepared well, and served with TX hospitality. Today, I enjoyed the hot Nashville chicken - spicy and crispy. Most entrees include 2 sides and they have a long list to choose from, including my favorite, fried okra. My goal is come on a Friday for their prime rib. Very busy during lunch and dinner so try to come in between. read more

Great food. Came at lunch or the chicken parm on the lunch special. Came out a huge pile of fettuccine two big chicken breasts breaded perfectly and a great sauce. Accompanied with green beans and a slice of garlic toast. You better come hungry even lunch specials are big . Will definitely be back. read more

Neighborhood friendly atmosphere, comfortable country interior setting, great and attentive staff and just plain good food.

The food was just okay. My chicken fried steak was so salty! The mashed potatoes were good though.

The food was really good, the steak was thinner than most other steak place's, but it was really good!

I have been eating at Blake's for many years and have had many good meals here. Sandy, I had the worst pork chops I've ever eaten. They were paper, thin and well overcooked. They were very large in diameter and consisted mostly of overcooked breading. I prefer quality over perceived quantity. I would like to have one large thick, well prepared pork chop rather than two oversize pieces of fried dough. Unfortunately, their chicken fried steak is the same, an illusion of of quantity, which is all fried dough. read more

Meh. Not a bad experience, but not what wi was expecting. Wanted to get the chicken friend steak, got flaked out of it by two of the server's to get the chicken friend chicken instead. It, and the gravy, were a little bland for my liking. My husband enjoyed his burger, though! read more

Absolutely amazing as always. The food is just so good. Love the rustic atmosphere and wonderful staff. We love coming here. We've never had a bad time. read more

If you are in the area you need to try this place. The portions are huge! I got the small catfish and got about 6 or 7 pieces. My daughter got the chicken strips and they gave her 6 strips.

This place seems to be getting better. It's still not it's former glory but it is getting better. They nolonger have the warm rye bread and butter before the meal. " the bakery in Houston that supplied the bread went out of business. " Hhmmm. Too bad there isn't a bakery or for that matter several bakeries substantially closer to supply a restaurant with bread. Oh well. Hopefully this place will continue to improve. read more

Not much there that interests us. Plenty of room to grow. Not a destination to go but friendly people are there to assist you. I might try this again but won't go out of my way. Ok neiborhood place. read more

We love Blakes café. It's just a very small, home cooking, comfort food place. Always great service, parking is a little limited and can be interesting but absolutely worth a trip to McQueeney. They are now open on Sundays for lunch with a limited menu of their regular menu items. The chicken fried chicken is some of the best that I've ever had, you won't be sad you went!! read more

They have friendly staff, great food, reasonable prices and a comfortable ambiance. I highly recommend the chicken fried steak and the hamburgers. We eat there often! read more

Stopped here on the way home for dinner. I love the down home country food. We will make Blakes a for sure stop to eat.

We drove by this quaint little place on our way to our VRBO and planned to stop as soon as we could! Man I'm glad we did! I had the pulled pork sandwich with Mac and Cheese on top with hand battered onion rings. The others got the pork chop sandwich with cheese and fried egg on top! Everything was AMAZING!! Our server was so sweet! We will definitely be back!! read more

So, we have driven by this place so many times, and always wanted to try it...so we did....and now I wish we would have kept driving! The service was subpar, waitress Ivy didn't appear to know what she was doing, I can forgive that tho because she was nice, maybe she's just new? The chili cheese fries were good, but we actually ordered tots, and after putting in our order, Ivy waited for over 10 minutes to let us know they were out of tots...but again, we can forgive that because the fries were good. So, my daughter ordered chicken tenders and I ordered Nashville hot tenders....these were far from tender, they were like a texture between beef jerky and rubber....we did like our sides; mashed potatoes, so we ate those, but were unable to eat the chicken. Ivy asked if we wanted boxes to take the chicken home, I let her know that we were unable to eat the chicken because it was so tough (I wasn't able to tell her until the very end because she was MIA). I told her that we wanted this taken off the bill minus what we ate. She said all she could offer us was 50% off the two plates, at first I thought that was ok, but it was not! Why am I paying for something that we couldn't even eat? Fair would be paying for what we ate, the sides....so for those reasons I will never go back and I can only offer 1 read more
