I brought my wife to Bellville for her birthday weekend - it's got a beautiful town square with…read moreshops and dining right up her alley. Our first stop ended up being fortuitous - The Gathery. We arrived during the tail end of lunch, but were welcomed in with open arms. Andrea, our waitress, was personable and a wonder to talk with. Ask her for her recommendations - my wife did and she ended up getting something off the menu, a Texas Bowl with their fresh salmon as the protein. It was cooked to perfection and had all the right ingredients. I tried the steak sandwich and was not disappointed. The steak was tender and the garlic aioli might be the best I've ever had. Don't sleep on the fries either, cooked in beef tallow bringing out a wonderful flavor. The cocktails we got, French 75 for my wife and a Moscow Mule for me, were mixed perfectly with a great balance. Come here for the food and stay for the conversation. The entire staff was a pleasure to interact with. If you're from the big city, this is exactly what you're missing. You'll want to be a part of this wonderful town after visiting. Donna, the owner, is included in that. She shared her story while brewing us our tasty coffees before we went on our way. If you're driving through or staying for the weekend, put The Gathery on your itinerary. Don't miss out! We can't wait to go back. Thanks y'all!

We visited The Gathery for breakfast on Saturday, August 1, and unfortunately had a very…read moredisappointing experience. Lauren was our server. At first, I thought she was the only server working, so I was patient. However, I soon noticed there were other servers on the floor. It still took over 20 minutes before she came to take our order. We ordered the Farmhouse breakfast with biscuits and sausage, a kids' Farmhouse with pancakes, and breakfast tacos. Nearly 45 minutes passed before our food arrived. During that time, my coffee never came, and no one checked on our table. When the food finally arrived, my order was wrong. I received toast instead of biscuits and bacon instead of sausage. Lauren apologized and said she would bring the correct items, but they didn't arrive until we had already finished eating. To make matters worse, when I asked to speak with the manager, no manager could be found. I understand that restaurants can get busy, and I'm usually very patient. What was most frustrating wasn't just the wait, but the lack of communication, urgency, and basic customer service throughout the meal. It's unfortunate because The Gathery is a small business that I'd like to support, but experiences like this make it difficult to return. Based on this visit, I won't be coming back, and I can't recommend it to others. I hope management addresses these issues because the food has potential, but the service fell far short.

Wow. This is the best meal I've eaten in all of College Station, hands down. Biscuits are very…read morefresh, not coated in butter nor oil, the ingredients taste very fresh, and they give very generous portion sizes.

I'm sorry to do this here. As a locally owned business I hoped to address this directly but your…read morewebsite does not have a place for direct feedback. If you are the owners and care about community as much as your website says, take a look at your camera footage on August 11, 2026 between. 8:45 and 9:10am ish. Just the facts. We ordered and sat like everyone else. Received our food after the two groups behind us who ordered well after us got theirs. Most were Veterans so I appreciate that and would hope this was the reason. Once our food was dropped the server asked if there was anything else and I said I'd take a refill of coffee (empty). As I observed the room, the tables around us were getting really attentive service. Refills galore, conversation... I had to go to the counter to refill my coffee as I saw a server walk past our table and refill the cups at the window while ours remained empty. I got up, walked past all the servers and went to the counter where I got my first cup of coffee. After a while without anyone checking on us (again, all other tables were getting some really good 5 star service) I went to the counter to get a refill of water (empty) and a young girl who I overheard said she just graduated from high school stopped me and asked if I needed a refill. She was your bright spot. The rest of the staff just stood talking as u walked past them. It wasn't even busy. As I saw tables about to leave they were offered a cup of coffee to go. Thanked for coming in and probably would give 5 stars on a review. I made eye contact to the middle age female server and she quickly looked away. So did another young server who I saw refilling coffee. My previous review of here was 5 stars. I recommended coming here because this is our second time and my first was outstanding. Not playing the card, just the facts. We are the three Asians on the 4 top next to the booths by the kitchen entrance. Watch the entire service. I have a rule that if I really like a place I'd go back and even buy a shirt if available. I bought a shirt after my first visit but I'll holster the shirt. I'm huge on loyalty and sorry to say, this was lost. We left the cold, unwelcoming restaurant without any one of your staff saying a word. Not the type of place I'd return to. I hope this review is useful and hope this is a one off and I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. ***update*** The operations manager reviewed the video with the owner and quickly reached out to me directly. They agreed with my assessment and said they immediately addressed the issue with their staff. Doesn't change what happened but pleased to hear they care and will take corrective action when needed. They offered to refund my bill. I declined as I am just thankful they swiftly dealt with my concerns.

This time he ordered the Early Bird Special (which I found to be expensive and the reason for only 4 stars. $18 for a breakfast is absurd.) He loved it! The pancake is huge, the hash-browns looked tasty, the eggs were fluffy, the bacon & sausage was delicious. I ordered the Biscuits & Gravy with the crumbled sausage in the gravy ($4 for crumbled sausage?!? Come on!) The meal was delicious I just think the prices are a tad crazy. The service is friendly but a tad slow. We had to wait for our server to stop chatting and laughing with coworkers to get our check. My father is elderly and has early on set dementia so when he's ready to go we're ready to go. Sitting and waiting for 15-20 minutes for the check isn't ideal. So he said we're gonna have to find another breakfast joint now. I'm giving the 4 stars because it's not the cooks fault. He made an excellent meal for us. The place is so cool and unique as well so that makes up for a lot. How many times are you gonna eat at a former gas station turned restaurant and bakery?!? Also, their ginormous cookies are delicious too.

We confirmed twice over the phone that our entire group, including the children, would be having the regular tea party instead. When we arrived, the hostess informed us that our reservation was for lunch. The owner came out to address the mix-up and stated that she had explained this over the phone. Regardless of the misunderstanding, we had traveled from out of town and were extremely disappointed with how the situation was handled. We likely would have stayed and enjoyed lunch despite the confusion, but the owner's rude and condescending manner completely changed that. She made no effort to resolve the misunderstanding, offer an alternative, or find a way to accommodate our group. Mistakes and miscommunications can happen, but how a business handles them makes all the difference. Unfortunately, the way we were spoken to made us feel unwelcome and left us with a very negative impression of the establishment. The owner's treatment of us, rather than the reservation mix-up itself, is the reason for this poor review.

Upon recommendation of someone who had been there before I went with the bacon cheeseburger. For a $15 bacon cheeseburger I found it very average.

The burger itself was tasty and when you include the ambiance of being in a museum annex with a train car and Marine One, there's definitely some perks here. However it's immediately a star off when I'm paying $15 for a burger and all I get is chips and there's no fry option even for an upcharge. If you like chips with your burger, this place is probably a four for you!

They also have the cutest little trinkets and home decor, along with prepared meals you can grab to take home for the week. We come here at least once a week, and I have never had a bad experience with either the food or the staff. The owner is always coming out to check on everyone and make sure everything is good, which I think says so much about a place. It's truly a pleasure to eat here. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced, and the quality of what you're getting is incredible. Fresh, delicious food made with care--you really can't ask for much more. And DO NOT forget the desserts! Leave room for one, or at least get one to go, because they are absolutely out of this world. Don't pass this little Tomball gem up--you'll regret it!
