    was desperatly trying to find coffee and breakfast VERY late in the day. All the places where either closed, or about to close, or didn't have the kitchen open any longer for the day?? (IN MY DEFENSE - it was only 2pm) Of course like any good elite I took to Yelp to see if ANY place served breakfast after 2pm. (small mom and pop, NOT a chain) Much to my delight Brookside was open until 3pm. The question now is can i get there in time ? I hate to be THAT person but, I rolled in at 243 and they said come on in!! Full menu is still available. I felt bad about ordering as I am thinking they already cleaned up the kitchen - but they said come on in so I did. I got a breakfast meat lovers bowl and I got stuffed! Daughter gort chicken n waffles and said it was the best she has had! Large cup of refillable coffee was good as well. The atmosphere is a throw back to an old diner and that is fine with me. Not to pretentious just good food and good service. Add it to the Love List

    Welcome home.

    Good Sunday morning, everyone. Hope you're up, happy, rested up. It's brunch time, having lazily arisen to greet the sunshine. Wasn't moved by hunger to Brookside today. I just felt like getting out. I love, love, love local, local, local. I still remember this spot in other iterations of businesses. In the last few years It's been serving up smiles, kindness, and homemade food. Southern comfort favorites. I enjoy the fact they serve up the coffee in an adult size mug. Big big. No one who enjoys coffee wants a sip. We want to savor, to drink a big steaming cup of brew. They understand the assignment. I have yet to butter a slice of toast here that wasn't fresh or done as if it wasn't just as important as the entree. The devil is truly in the details. They don't have a constant stream of customers for no reason. They earn each and every customer, not just us regulars. Carpe the heck out of your deim folks. As always. Give. Nuff on that. Love your lived ones a lil extra, save a kiss for the one in the mirror. Peace.

    Another delicious brunch with great service! Today we enjoyed the migas with bacon added. It comes with fluffy eggs, onions, tomatoes, pickled jalapenos, tortilla strips, & cheese. It's served with three delicious homestyle flour tortillas and salsa. The Heart to Heart has eggs, protein of your choice, and big fluffy pancakes with bananas and walnuts. They have fresh whipped butter and serve the syrup warm. We'll be back!

    Eat local! What a neat little place! Their menu is FULL of good options. Clean inside. Great service. Good prices. Delicious food. We'll be back!

    Local spot that hits every time. The service was fairly slow if I'm being honest... took a while to get our food but I know the waiter was by himself at the time. Pretty simple on the inside, clean and kept. Came here on a Monday morning and I guess it's the place for local regulars. The waiter seemed to know a lot of names as people came in. If it brings in regulars, you know it's good.

    A great diner experience - good food, good staff, huge coffee cups! Parking: There's tons of parking which is great! The restaurant itself is on the smaller size relative to parking. Seating: When we arrived they were pretty busy (noonish on a saturday). Despite the smaller size, the tables move quickly and there's flexible seating. We had a group of 5, but most tables are set for 4. There was no problem pulling a chair over (another group pushed 2 tables together). It's great how flexible and laid back the environment is to allow for that Food: I love that you can order breakfast or lunch anytime. We all got coffee and the coffee cups are huge which was extremely exciting (because we always drink tons of coffee at diners). The pumpkin pancakes were a special and definitely worth it! Breakfast plate was a solid choice. The chicken fried chicken was amazing- though the mashed potatoes were a bit cold and not soft. I wish I was able to give this a 4.5 but since there's no half stars I'll go with a 4. I do need to give a shout out to our server ! He was really awesome and had a great personality.

    Peanut butter cup pancakes
    Jon M.

    It's been a few days since came here, but forgot to post the review. They have interesting flavors of pancakes, so I decided to try one. I got the peanut butter cup pancake platter. Overall I was very pleased and was very sad when ate all but a couple of bites of the pancake and was too full to finish it off. They were really good, though very rich. The bacon and eggs were nothing special, but they were bacon and eggs, so didn't expect much lol. They have other flavors of pancakes, like Oreo and such, so I wouldn't object to trying this again. But I might just get the peanut butter cup one again... Very tasty

    If you want a delicious and affordable breakfast spot, this is the place to go. The inside is smaller with just a few tables, but we have never had to wait for a table. The service is always very fast and we haven't had to wait long for our food. The food is delicious, we have tried so many different menu items and they have all been good. Last time I was there, I had the berry berry boo berry pancakes. The pancakes were fluffy and they put just enough fruit in the pancakes. The bacon was also nice and crispy, and the eggs were fluffy. You also cannot beat the price of food here, most of the menu items are under $10.

    Hamburger Steak Plate
    Mandie Z.

    We tried this place for brunch today & it was pretty good. We were seated pretty fast. Our waitress was really sweet & the food was almost perfect. Javier & I both ordered coffee. They give you big huge cups of strong coffee so a lot of sugar & creamer were needed for us but it was good. X ordered a small apple juice & water. Javier (bf) ordered steak (well done) & eggs w/pancakes. He could not stop going on & on about it. I tasted his steak & being that it was well done I wasn't about it, but for him he loved it. X-(his daughter) ordered the peanut butter cup pancakes w/bacon & a side of hash browns. She said it was good but to sweet to finish so her dad finished it for her & brought his pancakes home for breakfast tomorrow morning LOL. I tasted hers & they were really good but I would have to agree with her. I ordered the hamburger steak lunch w/ corn & mashed potatoes. It was delicious. The only complaint was the potatoes were very very heavy on the pepper. I had Javier taste to make sure it wasn't just me & he said wow I think I'm going to sneeze. . Give it a try. The only other complaint my 2 brunch companions had was that it took a good 30-35 minutes for our food to come out. I think they were hangry. I didn't mind the wait because I was in good company but the other 2 repeated several times how long it was taking.

    So I bought a Groupon because I love breakfast but then I got worried because I saw mixed reviews however I don't know what y'all experienced but I am ready to go back! I took my little person with me on a Monday morning and we walked in and were told to sit anywhere we like. There was a sign at the door letting us know that they were short staffed so going in I knew what to expect. We got seated and Virginia took our order and I swear it didn't take long for our food to come out. The food was good, although my steak came out over cooked, Virginia offered to replace it for me, the grits were not my favorite but I'm a southern gal and I'm picky about my grits, we were given hot syrup for our pancakes and the pancakes were bigger than most places. When we got ready to leave we were asked if we would like a drink to go. The process of checking out was simple and have I told y'all already that the food was good? This is a hidden gem with daily specials, lots of options (check out all the different pancakes) and good food with affordable prices.

    Missed doing a review the first time I came to is it my family. I'm back and the place I wanted to have breakfast was here. Mom and Pop type atmosphere. The waitresses already nice and accommodating. The food was oh my goodness DELISH!!! The warm syrup for the pancakes just topped off the meal. This will always be my go to breakfast spot when I'm the Ft. Worth area.

    Is there outdoor seating? I would love to take advantage of a cool morning/early afternoon and eat outdoors.

    There wasn't any outdoor seating.

    Does this restaurant have any vegan options, like vegan pancakes, waffles or French toast?

    Not that I remember

    Anyone know if they have some gluten free menu items? We have a couple family members with Celiac disease in our group.?

    Yes they do

    Stopped by Boulevard Cafe for a late breakfast and it was exactly what you want from a great diner…read more I ordered the classic breakfast combo with scrambled eggs and pancakes. Super traditional diner food, done right. Nothing fancy, just solid, well cooked comfort food. The biggest standout was the speed. Our food came out in about ten minutes, and from the time we sat down to the time we paid and walked out, we were done in under forty five minutes. The service was excellent. The waitstaff was friendly, attentive, and clearly used to handling a busy crowd. The place was packed, which tells you everything you need to know. Despite how busy it was, we were taken great care of the entire time. My buddy ordered the chicken fried chicken and said it was delicious, with fantastic gravy and huge portions. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept, including the bathrooms, which always matters. This is not a fine dining spot, but it is a top notch diner that delivers exactly what it promises. If you are in Fort Worth and looking for a reliable breakfast or brunch spot, this is an easy recommendation.

While there, a lady came in with her mother, the owner of the establishment came out to greet her in a way a friend would greet another. When you're wanting something that feels genuine and from the heart, this will be a cafe I'd recommend. Everyone, knows someone, even if meeting as strangers over coffee or nibbles of sweet pastries. Heck, you can throw in some games to that, as well. As someone stated in a previous review, it seems as if everyone who works there, truly loves being there. It isn't a chore, it isn't about rushing to get to the next drink preparation, they're, there to make sure you have the best experience in the place they nurture for others to enjoy. I appreciate that. Blueberry Matcha: I'm a fan, but not a fan of matcha. To explain, not everyone knows how to balance the taste of matcha. It's either way too earthy/gritty or not sweet enough, it has been rare that someone knows how to balance that combination. I have never tried a blueberry matcha and was excited to see this was one of our options. This was superb. The blueberry wasn't in syrup form, it was a blueberry foam that added the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness. This is something I'd get again, and again. Too many people ruin matcha's with syrup that swims on the bottom, here, not even. Seasonal: White Chocolate Rose Scone I'll admit, I'm not a scone person. The scones I've tried in the past, were hard and flaky and that's what turned me away from there. But this scone was soft and moist, I truly enjoyed every bite. I am now open to trying others, but only at this cafe. Cheddar Chive Biscuit: My favorite. Well, my favorite is their Pepper Jack Jalapeno Biscuit, so this will be my second. I warmed it up and added a touch of butter, OOOHHWEEEE, it more than hit the spot. I can't wait to have one again. With this latest visit, I learned they alternate their biscuits monthly and they have calendars available to remind their patrons. There are several I'd love to try and thankfully, they're being served on my days off. This is such a beautiful establishment, that's inside and out.

I gathered my small spawn and off to lunch we went. I would have rather gone on my own during the week but this place is just now starting up in this location and weekday hours for the cafe are just not available yet. First thank god they serve canned sodas. No cups needed, no straws, they can be recycled and stay color longer. WIN WIN WIN! Keep it simple. What you are seeing here you lucky dog is the Hippie Bowl, with SALMON, made SPICY!!! Took a few minutes before it arrived and they know how to plate their meals. My eyes definitely feasted beforehand. I almost didn't want to dig in, it was too pretty. Every single layer had more and more color and texture and flavor. Whoever designed this one knows how to balance the perfect meal. It was the right amount of spice too. I'm someone that loves heat, intense heat but this was so perfectly balanced, it did not need anything added to it. I really enjoyed coming here, the people there make you feel welcome and they stop by to check on you. I saw a familiar face which really just makes this place feel cozy and neighborly. My kids enjoyed some chicken nachos that were not on the menu but the staff made sure to make them something they would also enjoy eating. They definitely devoured them. If you are just looking for something new in the area definitely stop here. Every meal purchased helps feed someone in need. Currently I only know they are opened on Saturdays from 12-5. They are closed Sundays. Fantastic spot for lunch.
