The inside is so…read moreclean and open (patio seating, too), the bathrooms are immaculate and the staff is so welcoming. You can tell everyone is genuinely happy to be there (not something you see often). We ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes (amazing), the breakfast fried rice (so many flavors and so filling!) and my husband had Joe's Sammich. Everything was made fresh and had so many elements of flavor to them! The portions are larger than they seem and so rich! Even their waffle fries are perfectly crisped and flavored! My husband loved their cold brew and I enjoyed drip coffee. We will definitely be back again to try more menu items- including the boozy coffee. The place is unique and I'm so glad it's here!

So if you go on a Sunday try to get there before Church gets out. When walking in you get a nice new age vibe and the customer service is always great! You can scan a barcode to view the menu or just look at the one when getting to the register, but the barcode has more of a selection. The food is of good portions and the taste is amazing! Every plate definitely has an amazing presentation and are all great! So whenever you are in a mood for a great breakfast spot, breakfast. is a must!

When I saw the mechanic shop conversion and industrial interior I got worried. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and a tad unprepared for shift opening. HOWEVER, I am always open to being proved wrong, which I was. The food was amazing and the staff was able to handle the five of us, three being boomers who had questions about EVERYTHING, but we love them, haha. The staff handled us with grace. When they didn't know the answer to the million questions we had they got it for us from the kitchen staff or manager. Zero pretension. All the kindness. I can't remember what we ordered; we ordered at least half the menu. Every single dish was amazing. We will for sure be back sans boomers for many date nights to come.

The waitstaff is wonderful and everyone is so nice. I get the same dishes every single time because I know they are very good...the hummus and their bread is amazing! Caesar is also super good every time. We love getting the meatballs and the shrimp dish...the shrimp one is probably my favorite item on the menu. I don't even love wine but the wines I have had there are great! The only cons I do have to say are I wish the menu had more options or when there are specials it's more than one day before they sell out. I LOVE tiramisu and that's the one dessert they do have but I've only been able to order it once because every other time they are sold out and I understand you run out but then there needs to be a second or third option to choose from. I look forward to ordering the tiramisu every time and I haven't been able to in months because they never have it. This is one of my go to places when I do eat out here and I'm happy with getting the same dishes over and over because they are good but I am interested and excited to see what else they add to the menu in the future!!

We found the restaurant very busy but were fortunate to get seated pretty quickly. While walking to our seats, we saw so many delicious plates go by. This made for a difficult decision. My husband ordered the Berry Dream Sweet Waffle with a side of ham. I ordered the Southern Chicken Waffle Sandwich. Both were delicious. However, the side of ham was not much in the respect of protein for my husband, so you may want to ask about other options if you need more protein. My chicken waffle option had plenty of protein as it included the fried chicken, bacon and fried egg. And, oh so good. We also ordered the apple tart for later. :) Service was excellent. We will definitely come back.

This photo does not do the food justice!…read more Fork & Spoon is delicious. There's usually a short wait before you're seated, maybe 15-30 minutes depending. I personally love and recommend the French Toast. It is worth getting and sharing (although I prefer not sharing, because it's delicious). The kids meal, Breakfast of Champions comes with the HUGE pancake shown in the photo. The Strawberry Jam and Sourdough toast is yummy. Omelet is always good. Literally nothing to complain about. Just writing this review is making me hungry, and making me want to go back! The restaurant is nice, and high chairs are available. Service is good, and the people who work there have always been nice. I would recommend this place! I would probably go here every week if I could.

And I'll say right up front, the food was very good. From a short stack of pancakes (still huge) with a side of sausage links to the avocado toast with eggs and a side of bacon, the food was very good quality and flavor. What was disappointing was that the service was lacking. The hostess wasn't busy as we walked in but seemed preoccupied with wiping menus instead of acknowledging our party. We finally said "hello" and then were acknowledged and seated but no real greeting or enthusiasm. Similar behavior from our waitress. No niceties, just "do you want something to drink". When our coffee was delivered we asked for water and they were promptly delivered without any words but no straws. Maybe water isn't automatic here and maybe straws aren't either? Later, I flagged down the waitress to ask for straws and we got 4 straws --- for 2 persons ... ok. Again the food was great but my coffee cup sat empty from early on, needing a refill and I finally had to ask for it. I hope this isn't the norm.. and it wasn't terrible, but for such good food, you'd hope the service would match.

One morning we decided to take him and walk around Gruene and eat lunch. There wasn't much going on there, so we got back in the car and headed elsewhere to eat. I had never been to Buttermilk Cafe, but my wife has been several times with the grandson and his parents. I got a little nervous when we went inside. It was a bustling place, and I was concerned that the wait might be too much for the baby. Fortunately, the wait was about five minutes. This place smells like heaven. The food that we ordered was wonderful. I had the house smoked salmon with toast points and a poached egg. My wife had a slice of quiche, an orange muffin, and some fruit. The baby had a turkey sausage patty, one of my toast points, and some of my wife's fruit. Everyone was super friendly. The staff were wearing football jerseys to celebrate the Super Bowl. Our server was terrific. The patrons were all happy and sociable.

Last night I finally brought my husband to try it after hyping it up for so long, and unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. Things have definitely changed. I was really looking forward to the chicken fried chicken, only to find out they were completely out of mashed potatoes. For a place known for chicken, that was surprising. So I ended up just sharing some of my husband's meal and our appetizer. The cornbread has always been something I rave about, especially with their hot honey. This time it came out dry, and the hot honey had no heat at all. It just was not the same. My husband's fried chicken was honestly the worst part. It was burnt, with a layer of black under the breading, and tasted like it had been overcooked to the point of being charred. There is no way the kitchen did not see how dark it was before serving it. That said, his sides were still great, so at least part of the meal was enjoyable. Our friend's chicken sandwich was not terrible, but it did not taste fresh like it used to. It felt more like something frozen and heavily breaded instead of the quality we had experienced before. One positive was the service. Our server was wonderful, and the rest of the staff was kind and attentive as well. I accidentally spilled my drink right after it arrived, and they were quick and gracious to replace it even though it was completely my fault. That was very much appreciated. The other issue that really took away from the experience was the atmosphere. Halfway through our meal, a large group of adults sat in the courtyard and had their children sit separately at a table right next to us, while their parents remained in another section of the patio. The kids were clearly having fun and playing games, which is great, but they were also very loud and screaming just a foot away from our table while their parents enjoyed quiet drinks elsewhere. There were completely open sections of the patio farther away where they could have sat, so it was frustrating that they were placed right next to the only other table of adults trying to enjoy a night out. It ended up being very disruptive and took away from what we had hoped would be a relaxing evening. Overall, I was really disappointed. This used to be a place I highly recommended, but after this visit it feels like the quality and attention to detail have slipped. I truly hope they can get back to what made them so great before.
