This review is for the cafe in the back. Umm, bacon - let that word start to resonate in your…read moremind. I was hungry while driving between Houston and San Antonio. Not expecting much for being out in the country, I decided to hit up Yelp for lunch. Well, today was a lucky spin. Imagine a cold winter day. You're in the house trying to get warm. The only thing that feels good is a warm blanket. Why does this matter? When I opened my bacon cheeseburger, there was literally a bacon blanket covering the inside of my burger. As I closed the burger and brought it to my mouth for the first bite, it was like the music video for Loverboy's Almost Paradise song. I'm not even kidding -- not only was the burger solid, but there was an appropriate bacon overload. Some bacon fell out, but there was still plenty of bacon in the burger. Oh, and don't worry -- I didn't leave a fallen bacon behind. I will post a picture of the burger. I had ordered onion rings as well, but truthfully I never made it to them. I was full about halfway through my burger. I devoted all of my strength to taking down edible work of art. Man won with the burger, but the onion rings were orphaned. If you're driving between Houston and San Antonio, stop by. They take all major credit cards. It's only 2 minutes or so off the highway. I can't wait to stop back by this place. BTW, if you don't see any reviews from me for a while, I'm in a food coma.

The food was absolutely excellent--fresh, flavorful, well-prepared, and made with quality ingredients. You could tell a lot of care went into every plate, from the presentation to the taste. The portions were great, and everything we ordered came out hot and delicious. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, especially considering how busy a first opening day can be. The new location has such a great atmosphere, and we truly enjoyed the entire experience. Congratulations to the Water Well Café team on a wonderful opening--we will definitely be back!

Solid 4 stars…read more Stopped in for lunch on our way through Victoria. It's in a cute little downtown location. I understand they split time with another restaurant, so there's a Cajun menu and the Water Well Cafe menu -- our family ordered from both. Across the board, everything was good. The Cajun menu looked great. Mexican chicken fried steak, ~$20 -- 100% worth ordering. I'd never had a Mexican chicken fried steak before -- it's basically a chicken fried steak, but it comes with an order of queso on the side. Something different and unique, and very, very good. Highly recommend it. The sides I had were the okra, tater tots and a roll, all above average. Bottom line, everything we had here was very good. Would highly recommend, and would come again.
