    I ate lunch here with a friend. It's a very simple cafe, but the food is so fresh! It's tiny and very cute inside but also cute outside as well. It's kind of hard to find. You have to park and walk in the middle of the strip, you can't easily see it from the parking lot. The actual restaurant is very old timey. They have cute vintage lunch boxes set up on the walls. They even have an old menu from probably a long time ago. They do have a bunch of vegetarian options, especially sides. I got the veggie sandwich. It had cucumber, tomatoes, an avocado spread, and some sort of veggie cream cheese I got it on the grain bread. It was so good! The vegetables were super fresh. It was a really simple sandwich that tasted homemade. It's better than McAllister's deli or Panera bread because I feel like it's just more homemade. Also, the crowd is very eclectic. There's a bunch of old retired people, there are families, there are people coming in from work, and then there are random students. This place is clearly loved by the community and it also seems to be a family owned café and not some sort of chain which makes me feel better about supporting it. I would definitely recommend this place to someone. The prices are very affordable, which is nice.

    We ordered breakfast delivered for my office. The lunch box has a great selection. Their pastries are phenomenal as is their quiche. The fruit is fresh and the yogurt is great too. Delivery was on time.

    Chicken salad sandwich

    Great place to grab lunch. Everything on the menu is great, and the people are very nice and accommodating!! The chicken salad is my favorite of all time... MUST try when you're there!!

    Coffee

    A very interesting place for sure. It is tucked back in this cute little part of the shopping center. It was a little crazy with a full seating section (one was closed) & one man server. Coffee was AMAZING!!! Food wasn't anything to write home about but okay. I did not enjoy the pasta salad so I will try something next time. And yes I will be back.

    egg salad sandwich
    Julianna G.

    I'm a sucker for a simple menu done well! This place is tucked away in the village of camp bowie. I've had their catered sandwiches before, but this was my first time visiting in person. The egg salad is phenomenal and it's so sweet and bright inside the restaurant. Staff were super friendly as well!

    Chicken salad & fruit on spinach.  Fresh and delicious!
    Christina T.

    Always on point. Period. This is a hidden gem if there ever was one! Stuck away back in the 6333 shopping center behind Stanley Eisman shoes and the recently opened blue butterfly cafe. It's worth looking for. The food is always the freshest you'll get anywhere. The sweetest of fruit and the best chicken salad in town!! It does contain poppy seeds if you have an aversion to those. The pimento cheese is also excellent but a tad spicy. I love it but don't order if you don't care for spice. You have your choice of bread on all sandwiches from plain ole white to marble rye and even a croissant. The quiche is good too. I highly recommend giving their peach/Mango tea a go as it's my favorite. Restrooms are small but clean. There is always plenty of parking. Oh and they have brunch on Saturday. I haven't been but if it compares to the quality of their lunch menu I need to get there!

    My aunt and I wanted to go out for lunch, and she introduced me to this wonderful place. I didn't know it was here, and I'm glad we checked it out. Due to Covid-19, the indoor dining area was closed; however, there were about a handful of tables available in the inner courtyard of the shopping complex. After finding a table that wasn't wobbly, we sat down. In no time at all, our lunches were delivered in wonderful cardboard lunch boxes. How neat! I had the black forest ham on rye with both pasta and potato salad. The food was absolutely delicious. I'll have to come back here again if I ever find myself in the area.

    Breakfast Croissant Sandwich
    Justin S.

    Although this place is hard to locate, you will not regret coming to this spot. I believe this place is known for offering large catering services for schools, etc - but if you're looking for a good start to your day, come check this place out. Immediately after coming through their front door, I was helped. It was hard to choose which item to order (mainly because everything sounded appetizing) - I eventually settled on their croissant breakfast sandwich w/ potatoes on the side. The sandwich was affordable, super flaky & buttery, and the portion size was great. I was not aware before, but the bakery they're connected to opens only on Saturday. I heard some good things about it, so definitely try to check out this place on Saturdays so you can experience both!!

Based on some reviews, I heard the line to order can get pretty long and I'm glad I did, because the place was packed. My order was ready at the pickup time and was well packed.

We ordered the mexcrunch wrap and the buffalo chicken wrap. I like how the salads can be made into wraps, which provides more options. I think we both preferred the mexcrunch, simply due to the crunchy texture. I think both wraps would have been better if we could've had the sauce on the side, because the wraps got soggy pretty quickly. The side pasta salad was surprisingly really good, and I see why they serve it. Overall, I'd definitely go back here for a healthy lunch option.

When we walked inside it was so beautiful, there were antique style wood walls that separated sections of tables that made the restaurant feel much more private and dampened the sound that carries across the restaurant. It was beautiful. The service was top notch all the way through with excellent recommendations. Best coffee martini I've had jn YEARS! The menu made it hard to decide, but the waitress came to the rescue recommending the elk backstrap which I ordered rare and it was PERFECT!!! We tried the brisket Mac and cheese to share and it was also amazing with a hint of spice in the cheese sauce. My only critique of the whole night was that the cheese sauce was a bit thin and didn't coat the noodles very well, but I kept stirring it and it was okay. The brisket on top was super tender and flavorful. Hubby got the mixed grill and I had a little bite of each thing, all of which were amazing, especially the bison filet. Everything was perfectly seasoned. We finished up with the Creme brulee and the strawberry rhubarb cobbler. The cobbler was absolutely incredible with the crispy edges. It was a total flavor bomb! Prices were really reasonable for a nice dinner. I can't wait to come back to DFW just to visit Bonnell's again so I can try the lamb this time. A+++ just wish I had my phone to snap some photos!

The quiche tasted great, but the portion was incredibly disappointing. At $22 for a single slice, it just didn't feel worth the price. We considered ordering another slice but decided against it.

We also ordered a mimosa carafe for $35, with mimosas 11+ a glass it just seemed to be the better option. We opted for the patio this time, and with the overcast morning, it made for a really pleasant experience. There was plenty of outdoor seating and nice views, which was definitely a highlight. The service was a bit odd. Our server seemed rushed and hovered over us at times, but then disappeared when we actually needed something. It felt inconsistent and made the experience less enjoyable. Overall, the food tasted good, and the outdoor seating is lovely, but the value just isn't there for me. Great atmosphere, but the pricing doesn't match the portion sizes.

On the hottest day, I sat outside, but the fans kept the air moving so it wasn't terrible. Joseph attended to me quickly and was excited to serve me despite the heat.

The mahi mahi tacos were simply beautiful. All the flavors came through from the housemate tortilla, grilled mahi mahi to the citrus marinade and pickled onions. I do think the avocado cream got forgotten but I asked for it and Joseph brought me some. I added it to the second taco and it elevated. The crema has a little kick that is just perfect.

However, once I received the starters, I felt the portions were much smaller than expected. In my opinion, the charred campfire chicken could feed one person, while the cochinita nachos could feed two. I will say the charred campfire chicken was juicy and had a nice charred texture. The white bbq aioli and smoked corn slaw were delicious and paired nicely with the chicken. Unfortunately, the cochinita nachos were very disappointing and, honestly the worst nachos I've had at a restaurant. The nachos are the primary reason for my two star rating. The Mexican pulled pork contained a few fatty pieces, and the Jack cheese was unevenly dumped throughout the nachos in large chunks. The bottom of the plate was also soaking in grease from the cheese. I've never experienced this with nachos at another restaurant, and I would think the excess grease would be drained so the chips at the bottom aren't left sitting in it. I noticed that most guests were ordering their small burgers and fries, so I may return to try those or possibly order another chicken dish.

The space is cozy, which is a polite way of saying it is not built for large groups or people who like personal space. The wait can be substantial, and the indoor holding area is limited, if the weather is doing something dramatic, you'll want to know that before you commit. The real secret, which I discovered the hard way, is that you can join the waitlist online before you even leave the house. Life-changing information that arrived too late for us. Learn from my mistakes. Once seated, the coffee is hot, the iced tea is fresh, a surprisingly rare achievement at breakfast hours, and the menu has enough options to cause genuine decision paralysis. We ordered two Traditional Breakfasts, both over easy eggs, both crispy bacon. One arrived cooked to absolute perfection, eggs exactly as requested, bacon doing exactly what bacon is supposed to do. The other arrived with eggs cooked firmly over hard. Same table, same order, same server. How does this happen? It is one of breakfast's great unsolved mysteries. The breakfast potatoes, meanwhile, showed promise, well seasoned and flavorful, but arrived in a mixed state of doneness that required careful excavation to find the fully cooked ones. It was less of a side dish and more of an archaeological dig. The third order, the Tri-Fecta, came with a multigrain pancake the size of a small continent, which almost made up for the potato situation. And then there was the Million Dollar Bacon. We didn't order it. The table next to us did. I watched it arrive and I am still not over it. Order the Million Dollar Bacon. Do not make my mistake. Do not be me. First Watch is a solid breakfast spot with real upside, get on the waitlist before you leave home, order the bacon, and maybe double-check your eggs before your server walks away.
