Good breakfast and some new dinner menu items to go with the lunch menu. Service is great. Now open for dinner during the week. Wife loved the salmon. read more

Great New Years Day breakfast!! We are new to the area and decided to give this place a try. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Our server was very friendly, and he made some great recommendations. We had chicken & Waffles, breakfast enchiladas, omelet, and red velvet pancakes... yummy!! It was spacious inside with several big groups dining. Very good food and we will definitely be back. read more

Quaint, friendly, southern hospitality at its finest! The food was fast delicious and we will definitely be returning! My daughter got the crepe sampler (why don't more restaurants do samplers?!?) and I had cinnamon toast and biscuits and gravy. read more

Eight months later, the restaurant continues to have service problems. A minute after I was seated, a senior staff asked if I had been waited on. When she returned to where the waitstaff were mingling, no one did come to my table at that time. Of course, I did not expect anyone to come by so soon. Eventually, a waitress did come to take my order. Sometime later, an employee placed a large tray with various plates by my table. As he was to serve me those plates, another waitress stopped him and said they were for her table. There were two plates which she could not recognize. I said yes when she asked me if I had ordered those items. Rather than serving me my items, the employee returned the plates to the kitchen. Several minutes later, my waitress came by with those plates. Since it was the Saturday before Christmas, I decided to order the chocolate pancakes listed on their featured chalkboard. When my waitress asked if I wanted two or three, I opted for two. I also ordered sausage. Unfortunately, due to the taste and light color, the patties may have been chicken. After one bite, I decided just to finish the pancakes. Non-beef sausage must be the norm nowadays because, in the past, I would have been warned. read more

It has been about 2 years since Northlake Cafe opened near my neighborhood. We still enjoy going there for breakfast & lunch. I have tried many items on their menu, but this was the first time I noticed they had eggs Benedict with crabmeat. I got it and really liked it. I thought the Hollandaise was a little heavy, but still tasty. It is pretty large. It comes with 2; English muffin, which you can switch out, crabmeat, avocado and a perfect poached egg. I took one home and it was perfect the next morning for breakfast. And, the hollandaise sauce was also perfect, being in the refrigerator over night made it a little lighter. I like the Cafe' feel of the restaurant. It gives it the right ambiance. Service is usually very good. We have only had to wait a couple of times. read more

Our server was great. My granddaughters' lunches were very good. Kids chicken tender meal and banana Nutella pancakes. My meal, however, left so much to be desired. The side salad was filled with a large clump of rotten, slimy lettuce hidden under the top tin layer of lettuce. Our server offered to replace it but I didn't trust the kitchen at that point and that rotten clump of lettuce actually left me nauseous. My BLT consisted of a LOT of lettuce, a decent amount of bacon and one paper thin sliver of Roma tomato. The slice of tomato on my rotten salad was more substantial than the sliver on my BLT. read more

The omlete was sitting in a puddle of grease. The worst part was the service. We had to flag down someone for everything, order drinks, place our order, extra napkins, since we soaked up grease with the one we were given, paying. I didn't even bother trying to get a refill. I can't even say the table was clean it had trash from previous diners on it. Definitely not going back. read more

Truly the worst dining experience I have ever had. While a wait on a holiday is a given, bad service is not. All of our food wasn't brought out and it turned out to be incorrectly put in. After we wait 30+ minutes for it to come out. No refills on drinks or syrup. A bunch of teenagers running the restaurant and claiming the wait to be longer than it is. I will not be returning. read more

Understood it is Mothers Day and it's busy we have eaten here in the past but this time the order was wrong, food was greasy. Then you have a new server who doesn't know the menu just left in their own. Never coming back read more

We have loved this restaurant for breakfast for several years. They have a large variety of offerings on their menu but do a great job with everything we have tried. Their food is consistently good and arrives to the table quickly. Our favorites are the TexMex Skillet which is loaded with goodness, the Migas and the oatmeal. I know, oatmeal? Yes! It is the best we've had and loaded with fruit. It's a local favorite with a nice home town feel and a waitstaff that is friendly, efficient and so accommodating.

Each time I have been here, the Northlake Café has been hopping. Very busy, and usually a little loud. Typically only a short wait for a table. Servers have been very friendly and attentive. I've enjoyed both breakfast and lunch options here, and food has been consistently good with fair portion size. I will continue to be back! read more

Great food and great portion sizes. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Great place for breakfast.

Good morning Yelpmates. Made the drive north of Fort Worth to Justin and Northlake house hunting. Hunger struck hard. Came here to you guys for the heads up on brunch. You lead me here, let's hope you're not pulling my leg. So far service is awesome, and the place is spacious, new, well-lit, nice cafe feel. Coffee came out in a sippy cup. Tiny. The coffee is weak. I'm adding an expresso shot, but the coffee is so far from coffee, it's closer to brown water. The shot placed it at a normal level. This is a miss. 1st world or not, coffees are universal. I ordered Country fried steak. Was fork tender. Eggs are a perfect over med. Potatoes were just barely cooked. No browning. Looked boiled then skillet tossed, but not browned. Service checked on the table maybe 6 times. Service made this 4 a 5 star. I do not doubt if I asked for the spuds to be browned they would have corrected, so I didn't bother. I felt confident they care, that's worth 5 stars. This was a winner. Would return were it on my trail. This is out of town though. Take care of yourselves. read more

This was our First Visit!! Great atmosphere bright and cheery.. the menu offered a lot of variety. The food well It was Not too bad .. but not the best .. I didn't like that the toast is served dry with cold butter on the side by request :( no fun putting cold butter on dry toast. Service was okay .. drinks were not filled and syrup/cream etc was not brought until it was almost too late - pancakes were great except again I love hot whipped butter melting on my pancakes and they serve cold little butter packets .. :( Omelet was decent .. not oversized by any means. Nothing fancy. Hashed browns .. hmm same, you could that tell they were not fresh grated potatoes - but they were fine, I would have preferred less grease.. chicken friend steak tasted good.. Nice little spot for breakfast though and I'll probably give them another shot and order some other items and see how it goes!! read more

Went today around 10:00 for breakfast. My husband wanted pancakes and I ordered traditional eggs Benedict. The eggs were almost hard boiled and I needed a serrated knife to cut the English muffin (which I didn't have.). Our server dropped off our food and never came back to see how everything was. I wanted to show her the eggs. We actually had to ask another waitress to send ours over with the bill. Again, no questions about our food. I'm not inclined to go back. read more

Wife and I went for lunch. Had the West Coast Chicken Salad. They shouldn't call it "chicken salad". It was 90% filler (apples, raisins, other crunchy things) with VERY LITTLE chicken. My wife got the club, and I envied her sandwich. The waitress did bring me a small dish of a tablespoon addition of the salad, but it was just more of the same. Not her fault. I'm not writing the cafe off by any means, but I will be avoiding any "chicken salad" dish. read more

Best kept secret. It's not every day that you find a restaurant who's owners who care about supporting local farmers, providing the best and highest quality ingredients, and grow their own herbs etc. With a diverse menu you offering, won't be disappointed. They neglect to tell you that many many things are locally sourced, farm fresh and many are even organic. The back of the menu does hint at the special blue water that is complementary to every table and the fact that it is alkaline. If you're not familiar with the value of alkaline water for our bodies look it up! This is a great offering and I am so proud that they offer this here without hesitation or added cost. I wish the staff were more forthcoming about the quality ingredients in the food and the local sourcing. I think that the certainly should be celebrated. We've eaten here a couple of times now and have not had a bad meal. The staff are very attentive. Things move fairly quickly because they use handheld ordering devices and that also helps to expedite exiting because you can pay right at the table with the waiters device. We have enjoyed salads, eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, French toast, crêpes... Oh and mimosas!!!! they offer all of their French toast and a gluten-free offering, aside from the cinnamon roll one, and so far everything we've tried has been amazing. my very favorite though are the hashbrowns. I'm not even a big hashbrowns person but these are... Hands-down... The very best I have ever had. everyone at our table agreed. read more

We eat there all the time. Great food & service. The water is all Kangen which means it's high (I never can think of the word for opposite of acidic) base? Alkaline. Anyway, highly recommend. read more

My first time visiting Northlake Cafe and I will definitely be returning. So many items on the menu (like 4 full pages of extensive breakfast and brunch menu) that sound delicious. We received prompt service and everyone was very helpful and sweet. I ordered the avocado toast with fruit while my husband got the benedict with hash browns. Both were really good with generous portions. Highly recommend! read more

When we walked in there was no waiting, it was like 10:15 it was crowded, the atmosphere was cute our waiter was friendly, he told us the favorite's on the menu but we ordered the omelettes which you get 1 side and a bread item. The pancakes were thick which I was a little spectacle but actually the butter melted and it was delicious and fluffy. The veggie omelette had a lot of fresh ingredients but didn't really have taste and the potatoes too, you will have to season it which I had too and I understand their are people who can't have a lot of seasonings but I feel sometimes salt and pepper doesn't always make the season to your liking. The downfall was when we were seated they put us in front of the door area and today was still chilly outside I feel they should have put us somewhere else because their was a booth away from the door. I don't realize it until I sat down, I feel when it's cold outside they should not seat people by the door unless they say "I don't mind". That's why they get a 4 from us. Today's date is Saturday, 2/22/2025. read more

Chicken salad melt sandwich came with too much mayo. This is the description on the menu on their website - Homemade chicken salad on grilled sourdough with melted cheddar cheese & tomatoes. Note: comes with raisins, grapes, onion, pickles...not a tasty combo especially when smothered in warm mayo. read more

This place is so warm and inviting! I love their wraps; they're like a combination of a wrap and a burrito. The servers are friendly, and they have weekday specials. It is crowded on weekend mornings, especially after church. However, the high quality and flavorful food is definitely worth the wait! read more

Good Service very nice ladies. The food great but the Breakfast French toast one slice of bread cut in half to make two pc not good for the price with a tip. You can go to Cracker Barrel up the road and get 4 pc of bread cut in half that gives you 8 pc. for the same price. Got my order to go and I got to work and open, and I thought it was a mistake. So, I called and asked, and they say you just get one pc. read more

We have been there several times, food is always tasty and the Waiters/ Waitresses are very friendly and do great customer service. I would recommend this place since they have a very good variety of items on their menu.

DEFINITELY stop in for breakfast, brunch or lunch! We were so excited to see they were finally open and the food did not disappoint! We tried the breakfast tostadas, oatmeal, pancakes and crepes. PERFECTLY cooked eggs, crispy hasbrowns, fresh fruits, alkaline water and the FRESH SQUUEZED OJ...oh, my!! Now that you know the food is eggcellent!! The FOH service team was top notch too. Very attentive and communicative. Our server, Tristan, was so sweet and accommodating. Today was their 3rd day open so we expected to experience some "first day jitters" but they handled everything with style and grace. We live in Harvest and are looking forward to our next visit. Those breakfast tostadas though!! So YUM. read more

Amazing place, but found plastic in my wife's food! We ate there today, and my salmon benedict was delicious! Would have given 5 stars for food and service but my wife bit into a half inch of hard plastic in her crab cake benedict. It had a sharp edge so she got lucky she felt it before any accidents. We alerted the manager about it in case any other customers order from the same batch. She mentioned that they make the crab cakes there, so we hope they do a better quality check in the future. For what it's worth, my wife loved the crab cake benedict up until that last few bites. Since we already paid, no items were taken off the check. No refunds were offered either, but we weren't necessarily requesting one. We just hope for a better experience next time. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed both our meal and the service today when we stopped in for a quick lunch today. The owner, Lee, was very warm and engaging when he stopped by our table to chat. They even took a Polaroid of us for their photo wall. So even though the change in ownership may have had a rocky start, it's definitely worth giving this local gem another chance. read more

What a pleasant surprise this place was. The Northlake Café has such a creative and extensive breakfast menu. We went there for lunch but both ended up ordering something from the breakfast menu. My wife had a Greek Omelet which was very large and filled with Greek flavor. Different than most omelets we have had. The potatoes on the side ere also excellent. I had Breakfast Enchiladas. I have had other Tex-Mex breakfast items at places before but never enchiladas. The chipotle hollandaise on these is really flavorful without being heavy. Could use a little more chorizo, but everything else is perfect. The house potatoes are very well done and are great to dip in the hollandaise as well. With such an extensive menu also featuring sandwiches and salads, I feel we have just touched the surface here and will return often. On a Saturday at about 1:00 pm it was quite crowded but service was still very crisp. In fact, we were pleasantly shocked how quickly our food arrived. Meals also come with complimentary Kangen Water. Northlake Café is a winner. read more

Biscuit, gravy, eggs and perfect hash browns!! Came to Northlake cafe after church today. Less than a week opened and they were fairly busy. Service was stellar, thanks to Sonny! Food was prefect!! I had pancakes eggs and bacon - the pancakes were some of the best I've ever had. Hash browns were cooked to perfection. If you come, please remember they are new and still in the learning stage - new servers, new cooks, new everything. Give them all a little breathing room and understanding - this will be a go-to place for families for sure!! Thanks Northlake Cafe for a great breakfast. We look forward to your continued success in our little town. read more

We've been here twice. Once on Mother's Day and another for a regular breakfast. Both times the staff were great and the wait times weren't crazy. Our server was great in both instances and the food came as ordered within a very reasonable timeframe. The pricing and food options are what you might expect from a breakfast/lunch restaurant, although they have various takes on each dish that adds variety. I would definitely recommend giving them a visit. read more

Great place for brunch. Friendly attentive staff HUGE menu with tons of options. All the food so far has been very good nice flavor and portion.
