    Chicken Fried Steak
    Ruthie W.

    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.

    A neighborhood gem. Old fashioned country diner. Always a busy lunch run. Good food with wonderful desserts!! The servers are fast and courteous. The old wood floor could really tell some stories! Highly recommend when driving around the McQueeney area.

    Very very very happy with our whole experience at Blake's Cafe ! My husband is from the area so he's been there before. This was my first time at the original location and I was NOT disappointed one bit ! Our service was great all around! I believe our server was Mary and she was so helpful and sweet ! Our food came out fast ! I had the chicken fried chicken and it was sooo good ! Highly recommend you try it ! My hubby said his plate was very good as well. We were super happy and full when we left the cafe. Finished our early dinner off with desserts and they were both so yummy ! Love the setup in the cafe ' very open seating and spacious ' easy to get around. Will definitely be going back soon ! Thank y'all for the great experience !

We were seated right away (Friday night - 645pm). There were quite a few tables full, however, the noise was very minimal. The service was absolutely exceptional (just husband and wife as servers this evening). We ordered the Mozarella sticks as an appetizer (son's favorite app), a 14" pepperoni pizza, chicken parmesan, and chicken piccata. The food was out SUPER fast, and cooked to perfection. The rolls were amazing as well, hot & fresh! Our son didn't want to stop eating the pizza, however he finally did so he wouldn't be "uncomfortable" (which is fine with me so we can have the leftovers). My husband and I finished our dishes leaving nothing to bring home from them. The portion sizes were absolutely perfect on both mine and my husbands dishes. Definitely worth the price without question. If you're looking for some tasty Italian food and excellent service, his is your spot. Lint let its location/exterior deter you. Definitely a hidden gem. Can't wait to come back for more!

Parking is little limited but on the side of the establishment is an auxiliary parking. As you walk inside you see the old power station. As you enter you are taking to your seat, either inside or in the patio area to see the view of the river. The personnel are very helpful and kind, they answer any questions regarding the menu. Now the food I choose the "Pecan Crusted Chicken" with a side salad and "Poblano Corn", there are many options for your sides to make it your choice. As far as the taste of the meal, it was delicious and outstanding flavors, I highly recommend this place.

Don't expect anything special, their corn tastes like it came straight out of the can. On top of the horrible food and dirty dishes, the service was also mediocre at best. If the tip wasn't already included in the gratuity , he wouldn't have made a dime. He was rude and not attentive. I'm sure there are other places in the area to enjoy. Wishing for the day that yelp allows you to give negative stars.

I love the atmosphere of the restaurant, it's got a home like feel. The staff always treats you like family. It's my daughter's birthday and she wanted to float down the river. So that means a trip to Clear Springs. First up a small order of onion rings. They were so good, the crisp outer batter and thick onions. Next up my youngest had the Shrimp Po Boy. It had a nice flavor from lettuce tomatoes and tangy dressing. The shrimp were fried well. My oldest daughter had the Fish Tacos. They were bright and fresh but needed a little more zing. My son had the Combination (fish and fried crawfish)- the crawfish were tasty and had a good batter. My Seafood Grill was amazing. The shrimp brochettes were amazing, loved the grilled catfish. I'm not usually a fan of blackened catfish but this one was good. My wife had the cup of Cajun Gumbo. It wasn't bad but it was chunky and that's not my style. We ended with the Chocolate Cake for dessert since it was my oldest daughter's birthday. It was the perfect end, the pecans added a saltiness that balanced out the richness of the chocolate.

I'm surprised I've never heard of them because this is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Some of the best customer service too! I'm so glad I stopped in. This will be my go to every single time when I'm in Seguin, Texas. Food: everything was phenomenal! The brisket was made to perfection absolutely some of the best brisket I've ever had. The jalapeño sausage, I've never had a jalapeño sausage that good! The cheese was bursting out of the seam! The tater salad oh my God! Talk about a blast from the past if you're from Houston Texas, and remember the old Heights camp house BBQ, you will remember they had Camp house potatoes. They tasted exactly the same wow I was so happy to try that because I never thought I'd have a dish like that again in my life. The brisket rice was OK. I probably would get something else. The banana pudding was phenomenal. This is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Easy five star review! The customer service was great. The line moved quickly and everyone was extremely nice.

The dining room was very clean. Staff very nice. You can tell they are trying to learn the craft of Texas bbq. The staff don't seem to be in communication with each other. I saw some white lady that just looked angry behind the counter I'm assuming is the owner. Now, I did have VERY high expectations for this place because I have been a long time follower of 90 West barbecue since they first began. I know Jesus and Robin moved to this location. With that said I had high hopes the food would have came along with them, which by visual plating, and taste it absolutely did not. I honestly felt them two would have easily been brought this place on the top 50 bbq list and that got me so excited to make the drive out to try it. I did ask for Jesus but they said he was off when we went by. That surprised me they always work! Haha I don't know if he will see this review since he is a manager but Jesus your very talented man with a heart of craft bbq we know your worth, your bbq was killer. I pray someone will give you a partnership to begin your own restaurant location you will do just fine back in San Antonio and we will be right there with you and Robin.
