It was our first time here. I came with a lot of hype for this local restaurant. We got here at 12:30pm on a Sunday. There was seating and we didn't wait long to order and sit. When we were done at 1:45pm the place had pretty much cleared out. Ordered the Chicken Fried Steak sandwich and the Shrimp and Grits. The chicken fried steak was about a 1/4 of the actual chicken fried steak platter. The meat was a bit tough and you couldn't really bite it. There wasn't gravy on it so we asked for some on the side and it was really watery. So there probably was gravy when we got it, but it most likely soaked into the bread. The chips were homemade. The shrimp and grits were good and flavourful. But I only got 4 shrimp. A little bit disappointing for a $16 plate. The sweet tea was nothing to write home about. But I appreciate that they bring you a carafe of water and leave it on the table. There is an outdoor patio with is great! But that just invited about 4 flies to hover around our table. I know that's not the restaurant's fault. But I felt it should be mentioned. And the staff wasn't in a good mood... We will be back for breakfast to give it a second chance. read more

Took my family here for the first time. Everything was delicious. Recommend the iced dirty chai latte (chai latte with a shot of espresso). Fried mushroom were a hit! Always going to order these. Pancakes were the bomb next time we want to try the pimento cheese balls. Shrimp and grits were Cajun delicious creamy buttery and cheesy. I had a bl fgt (bacon lettuce and fried green tomatoes ) but it came last, so no pic. But I recommend, if your in a sandwich mood. read more

If you haven't eaten here you're definitely missing out!!! We stop by often and have never been disappointed. I absolutely love their weekend brunch!!! Even though you stand in line to place your order, they still have exceptional table service. My food has always been served fast, hot and amazingly delicious!!! Their pancakes are my favorite:) I always look forward to visiting the Blockhouse!!! read more

Let me start off by saying that I visit this establishment quite frequently. I know what is normal for this establishment during their breakfast and lunch rushes. My MIL wanted to come here for Mother's Day breakfast, because she knows I come all the time and she had never been. Yes, the service was slower today than normal, the wait times were long. However, they experienced a MUCH larger volume of people today, farrrrr beyond their normal weekend breakfast and lunch rushes. The line was out the back door for a good portion of our visit there today. The team there takes pride in what they offer, they take pride in their business, and they take pride in their craft. They are some of the sweetest people who care about their customers like family. Over the many times I've been there, I have observed them calling countless amounts of people by name, talking about vacations, asking about other members of the family. They clearly have a lot of regulars at this establishment, and for good reason. On top of that, their food and coffee has NEVER disappointed. My MIL and myself both very much enjoyed our meals there today, and she is very excited to go back. Today is a HOLIDAY, one in which people generally tend to go out to eat for breakfast or lunch. It is not the fault of the establishment if customers didn't plan ahead. They did the absolute best they could experiencing the sheer volume of customers they did today. Patience, grace, and a gentle word will always go so much farther than getting angry because service wasn't to your standard. I encourage those who plan to write a negative review or have written a negative review to give them another chance on another day. You will find that you will not be disappointed. To the Blockhouse team: we love you. Yall did a great job today. Thank you for choosing to be open today, and for making my MILs Mother's Day a little extra special yall ROCK!! read more

What a cute little breakfast, lunch, and coffee spot! Everyone is exceptionally nice with great service. My favorite part is the view of the country side on back of the restaurant with their outdoor seating. I'm so sad I didn't get a picture of it. I was just taking it all in at the moment. French toast - 5/5. I'm not sure what kind of bread they use but it made the French toast extremely light and fluffy! Felt like I was eating a cloud of yummy! I did not need the syrup at all! The honey drizzle and banana slices were perfect for me. Iced latte - 5/5. Double shot of espresso with oat milk and a pump of vanilla bean syrup. I'm a coffee addict so I was pumped to see how many coffee options they had. I enjoyed that they had so many different syrup flavors but vanilla is always a win/win for me and it didn't disappoint today. Side of bacon - 4/5. Can't go wrong with bacon if you eat pork. It was great. I only give it a 4/5 because it came out dripping in bacon fat. I'm sure some people enjoy that. I always dry it off when I cook it at home so purely a personal preference. Absolutely a knock out location and a gem of a spot! read more

This place was not bad, but we didn't have a 5-star experience. We visited on a Saturday about mid-morning on our way into San Antonio to do some shopping. We found the place very noisy and the atmosphere hectic. Having to order our food at the register before we could sit down didn't leave much time to look at the menu and made us feel rushed. Also, there isn't a lot of room by the register so people leaving and folks waiting in line to order kept bumping into each other. The food was quite good, the prices were decent, and the service was also very good. This place is very clean, too. We'll probably give the Blockhouse another try, but not when they're so busy. read more

They have great food, everything I have tried has been amazing. Although they seem to have adequate staff, maybe their systems are not so great. Especially for take out. They have a convenient drive through for pick up which is great, except you can also order to-go there as well. If you pick up in the drive through, be prepared that the person in front of you may have just ordered, now you wait until their food is ready before even getting to the window. If you've ordered any specialty coffee, they won't make it until you are at the window, so you wait another 15 minutes or more for everything. My latte was hot at least, and the soggy avocado toast was still delicious, so as long as you're good with a super long wait and maybe some young inexperienced staff, this is the place for brunch! read more

My husband and I visited Blockhouse after Sunday church. It felt like a perfect Sunday. The food was good but not anything we couldn't make at home. The breakfast sausage however stood out to us. Coffee service was quick and the pot was hot. We sat outside and enjoyed the cornhole game and watching the other families. A great spot to enjoy the morning! read more

The service is wonderful, the ambiance is cute and charming with outdoor seating as well. The coffee is amazing and my jalapeño chicken and waffles were perfect.

The waffles were soft and fluffy and the candied jalapeños done so well! A must try! read more

It was our first time and while they were open, only the drive-thru was open. A bit disappointed, but it didn't discourage us. We went to the drive thru and ordered coffee and apps to go. I ordered a hot masala chai latte, fried green tomatoes with the pimento sauce, and pimento cheese balls. Wanted to order some light appetizers while we drove to another place for breakfast. Location was in the middle of nowhere, but cute and secluded place. Very beautiful and peaceful. Pimento cheese balls were cheesey and oozing with stretchy cheese. It was cheese goodness! Had a mild pimento cheese taste, freshly hot outnof the fryer, and golden, crispy crust. Crust was thick enough for the cheese balls to keep it's shape while it was in the fryer and kept all the soft, melted cheese inside. So delicious! Would order again! The fried green tomatoes was just alright. Not the best that I've had, but it was still good nonetheless. Not a big fan of the cornmeal batter and didn't feel it had much flavor to really bring out the green tomatoes. I prefer a nice, thick slice of tomato so that there's more of it than the coating and oil. Because these FGT were slighlty thin, it obsorbed more oil and the coating didn't offer a nice crunch. It came with the pimento sauce. The sauce itself was very good. I would prefer to pour it over fries or dipped fried pickles in, but not with FGT. Maybe I just prefer a homade ranch dip which I think is the best partner with FGT. Nevertheless, it wasn't bad but probably wouldn't be on my top list to order again. Masala chai latte was delicious and soul-warming. Not too sweet and topped with frothy milk. Love it! This place lost a star because it wasn't open for dining in on a Wednesday. Dining in is only open Thursday - Sunday, I think. I'm not even sure because we didn't see any signs and website doesn't say either. But the drive-thru is open if the dining area isn't. Don't be discouraged, go for the drive-thru. Take a stroll through the back and take a look at the view. There's a beautiful outdoor seating in the back. Super cute! Overall, I would highly recommend this place and would definitely come back again to dine in. Service was great and friendly. They have pasteies and bakeries too! So much more to see and taste! read more

This place is very much off the beaten path. Like when you're headed out to that area, you may be questioning if there's a restaurant somewhere that you're going. But when you get there, you'll see a diner tucked away in Saint Hedwig. We got seated quickly, I got the burger and it was very good. I added an egg and all the fixings, so it was messy, but that makes a great burger. Had it been a nicer day outside, I probably would have done the outdoor seating, but the indoor seating was nice. They have cute decorations up for Easter right now. read more

Food is amazing here!! We usually go here once a week for breakfast or lunch, they have a bacon burger that has pastrami topped on it! So delicious. Nice little location, a lot of law enforcement love it here. Friendly environment, plenty of parking. Flavor is the best combination. Definitely a recommendation for anyone looking to try something new. read more

Recommend: YES!!! Price: $5 and up starting with coffee Taste: the coffee was amazing! I used to live in busy stone oak and this place tops all of it. Experience: let me just say that this place is such a calm, time pausing, and relaxing environment that oversees the nice country living vibe. I came on a Thursday morning and was amazed with their flavor, my mother didn't enjoy hers but I was able to get her coffee replaced. I was impressed with the customer service and professionalism. They have delicious sweet moist pastries and so many breakfast options. Their outdoor seating is breezy and peaceful. I'm so excited to try their breakfast and am thrilled to find a place like this so close to home! read more

I had visited this place 3 times since I moved into this area 2 months ago. The food was always great and a neat spot to have friends and family over especially the back outdoor patio lovely, restrooms are clean and all around. Here's why I gave it three stars... I tried the Shrimp and grits finally, they served it only on the weekends, before I was only able to make it on a week day. It did not look appetizing though I had to give it a shot and try it, it was good. I took another bite and looked at it my stomach turned and couldn't take another bite. It was not something Im use to seeing it served they way I've seen it at other places. It looked like a 5 year played with my food. I asked if I can switch it for something else they said no problem then turned around and try to charge me for it. I told the server if your gonna charge me give me the old platter back and I'll give it to one of my brothers and they went to go get the owner, instead of freaking out and walked off. Could've just said "One moment mam if I may grab the manager I don't have the answer to this situation to fix this may I go grab help for us" I don't know something... He came out to talk to me and came off intimidating. Said he never had complaints about it. Well sir let me be the first then. Ask what bothered me about it so he can make changes in the future. I then told him can I go ahead and pay for my new plate told me not to worry about it, then came out later and served me my new order and walked off looking annoyed. You need more work on customer service sir and your young servers, they looked tired and don't smile the past 3 times I visited. He was not sincere about my order, here's another example for you I'd be happy to advised your next complaint.. "Here's your order mam I'm sorry your first order didn't work out to your liking's and thank you for patiently waiting again. Does this order look good and if I'm missing anything else please don't hesitate to ask for me let me work with you and make sure you walk away satisfied" Be receptive, be respectful, be professional, do better. I hope next time to see better customer service. read more

Great, Amazing and Excellent environment, friendly service, great menu choices and AMAZING food and at affordable prices. WE Will be back for sure! This is an absolutely amazing restaurant that contains great food, great service and a great atmosphere. My family and I will definitely be back. The coffee was amazing from the house coffee with unlimited refills or the latte's that make Starbucks look like amateurs. For Breakfast. Get the Brisket hash, buttermilk waffles, Breakfast sandwich with over easy or medium egg. Chicken fried steak and eggs or country style omelet. Yes I have eaten all of these items and have been completely happy satisfied and full after ordering. I have not found a bad menu item yet. Other items to consider Cubano Sandwich Jalapeño chicken and waffles BL fried green T! Fried Green Tomatoes are DELICIOUS!!! I am a foodie and I travel to places for food and restaurants. Plain and simple. I love to eat and this place not only serves scratch made items but they use items from their own garden for their dishes! How much fresher can you get !? You will not be disappointed. Remember that they will get much busier at certain parts of the day on certain days, so if you have to wait....just wait. Its definitely worth it. If you are an impatient and selfish person and can't wait during peek hours then order way ahead of time....but don't throw a fit. The food and drinks are worth every dollar and every minute it takes to make and create your order. read more
