Mike P.

My wife heard about Black Walnut Café and wanted to try it out for breakfast one Sunday morning. We have always found that any café that is located at an airport is always a great place to eat and Black Walnut was no exception although a bit different from what we are used to. After waiting in line to get in, we were served cafeteria style and this I was not expecting. It worked and was different. Just not used to this at an airport café. In any case, I tried out the chicken and waffles; a Belgium waffle with some really good chicken tenders to go with my Bloody Mary. My wife went with the ham and cheese omelet with her Bloody Mary. I really enjoyed my chicken and waffles. They chicken was crisp and flavorful and both my wife and I enjoyed our meals and Bloody Maries. Overall, a really good meal served by the window so we could watch the airplanes take off and land. I look forward to returning to the Black Walnut Café.

Amazing view while eating you have the option to eat inside or outside in a 2nd deck patio while watching airplanes take off. Would recommend if you're in the area. Only thing I didn't like is that they took forever with my orange juice and asked about 3 times and had somebody come over asking for proof that I did get an orange juice like why would I lie about that...

We loved checking out the Black Walnut Cafe at the Conroe Airport. It was really cool to see the planes take off on the runway while eating our lunch. We really enjoyed chicken wraps, pork belly blt, & burger. It was a really nice setup to sit inside or outdoors and you order at the counter or at the table. If you order at the counter they give you a tracker and they find you to deliver your food. This was a great experience!

Food and service are always excellent. I ordered the Avacado toast with eggs this morning. Ahmed had the cinnamon roll French toast with eggs. Can't go wrong with that!

First time here as new transplants from California, and we love it! The food was great, chicken and waffles - YUM! The customer service is beyond exceptional. Our server, Abby was gracious and very knowledgeable about the menu choices. The view of the aircrafts landing and taking off was spectacular!!! We will be back for sure!!! Oh, the Bloody Mary was greeaaattttttt!!!!!

Went for lunch with our office. The food was great and the service was great also. We had Thai lettuce wraps for an appetizer and my entree was the fish tacos. Everything was superb. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

Wow! First, I would like to say I was pleasantly surprised. Driving into an airport for breakfast was a bit off putting, once I got to the 3rd floor, wow! The classic Pan Am posters, light music, and distant chattering of voices and plates clinging really made it a great atmosphere! Not to mention the view of the trees and planes flying. The service is great as well, thank you Brianna for tending to me and my date. Everyone had a smile and was happy to help us for our first time. And of course, the food was great. The potatoes were crispy, aromatic and fresh. The chicken sausage was juicy and had a snap. Pancakes were also fluffy and blueberries on top had a fresh snap as well. Finally the eggs were perfect as well. This place definitely deserves a 5 stars. It will be our main Sunday breakfast place from now on!

Right in the midst of Conroe Regional Airport, this is a great place to eat and watch the arrival and departures of local air traffic. There isn't a bad seat in the house, but if you want to be at the window, grab a table when it's open and have someone else place your order in the line. Service is good with the kitchen following up with questions about dietary needs. The food is the same Black Walnut menu we all know and love but for some reason our orders were all over cooked. Likely an anomaly.

Eddie S.

It has to be Conroe's most unique hidden gem such a vibey relaxing atmosphere even tho it's at a airport lol. Review time Lobster Benedict: 9.6/10 huge chunks of lobster meat and hollandaise sauce was absolutely spot on even with that they still put some smoked applewood bacon on it.

Bethany L.

Second time here and the food was delicious again. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and it was very thin. Very little chicken, more breading than meat. Ambience was nice- place was packed, but as soon as a table left, staff was immediately clearing it for the next customer. Well staffed and keeping up with the rush was nice. Didn't have to wait a long amount of time. Price was a little higher, but inflation has hit us all. Anyways, great experience this time as well.

Indira M.

I've only been here once but I enjoyed the food and ambiance. I had the fish plate. It was wonderful. The batter was light and crispy and the cod was cooked to perfection. My friend had the Wednesday special, turkey, avocado, bacon sandwich which I tasted. Now I have to go back just to have it. The portions are generous. You order at the bar/counter and they give you a buzzer but they brought the food to us. It was a little under $20.00 for lunch. I don't know if it's the same menu for dinner. The also serve wine and beer.

Wonderful food, super yummy orange juice. Our favorite part about breakfast was watching the planes take off on the runway! It was a wonderful brunch. The only critique is that the restaurant is quite pricey-- For example, the small glass of orange juice I got was almost $5 and when I asked for a refill I was told it would be another $5. No thank you Other than the prices, we loved it! read more

Great place for lunch; nice view of airport runway. Have to take elevator because it's on the third floor. Parking is a bit difficult because so many cars and limited space also very narrow spaces. It's an order at counter and get your own drinks / seat yourself place. Ordered the Cuban sandwich but they were out. They recommended the Nashville chicken sandwich which was fried and spicy with coleslaw condiment. It was unique taste - looking forward to trying the Cuban next time. They have outside seating too - maybe when it's cooler! read more

I have eaten here twice and have to say it's the best Black Walnut Cafe I have been to. The food is always fresh and delicious and the service great. Today I had the Cobb salad with ranch, I ate every bite! There was some sort of seasoning over the top that was so good. My husband had the eggs Benedict and kept raving on how well the eggs were done. The grits were great, too! Our friends finished both of their dishes and commented how great it all was though I can recall what they got. The lemon cream pie was so light, fresh and perfect finish to our meal. And to top it all off, you're at the airport so you get to watch planes taking off and landing the whole time which makes for a nice treat! read more

Luckily I walked in with a Mom of 3 who had obviously been here before. Wouldn't have known to go to he 3rd floor. I just copied everything she did. Grab a menu at the door, wait in line to order, given a pager and a cup of ice then paid for my soup and salad. $22 with $5 tip. One of the hostesses saw me struggling to carry all my items and my drink and helped me to a perfect two seater with the best view in the restaurant! I had the chicken tortilla soup and Caesar salad. Tons of food!! Both were delicious! Can't wait to come back and bring my husband!! Great place tucked away by a runway!! read more

Both omelets were cold, the cheese unmelted, they didn't even give a damn. $50.00 for two breakfasts with ice tea.

First of all, I love how they make sure the food stays fresh. I ordered thru uber eats and the food arrived in a sealed plastic bag. Not only does it ensure sanitation but also does not leave a strong smell in the uber car. Secondly, the portions are huge and flavorful. We got the American burger, chicken and waffles and also grilled cheese (not pictured) this week. The price was a little bit on the high side given that I ordered thru an app but otherwise great service! read more

For a cafe in a tiny airport, the food matched the vibes: great! Nice rooftop space if you're feeling it, and plenty of room inside too. Got a carafe of mimosa that filled about 5ish glasses and the avocado bacon Benedict with grits. This was one of the better places I've been to brunch and would definitely come again! Grits we're great, potatoes were great, bacon was great, and the eggs didn't freak me out. Awesome experience! read more

Visiting from California and had the chicken lettuce wrap tacos, and the pimento cheese dip. Hard to believe there are no other reviews on the pimento cheese dip. It's definitely something you should try and it's so reasonably priced for the quality and quantity that you get. It's the best pimento cheese I've ever had, spicy, but the best. The chicken, lettuce, wrapped tacos were absolutely delicious. I wish I lived there. I would be going back again today. The woman taking our order at the register couldn't have been nicer or more efficient and the view, just spectacular. read more

Specialties

Black Walnut Cafe is a destination for every appetite and any occasion - we're your place, at your pace! By blending the easygoing efficiency of counter service with the warmth and upscale flavor of fine dining, we offer our guests an elevated dining experience that makes the most of their time, whether they're craving a quick coffee or a leisurely retreat. We're open daily from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and located on the third floor of Galaxy FBO at the Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport. We offer expansive views of the runway with plenty of cozy spots inside and on our patio to enjoy your meal while watching planes take off and land. We're all about creating an experience our guests can delight in time and time again. That's why we've created dishes with a lot of personality and dishes that stay true to being the comforting classics we know and love. Our American Burger also doubles as our $100 Burger. What's that you ask? The $100 hamburger is aviation slang for the excuse a general aviation pilot might use to fly. Unlike any other airport dines, we feature a $100 Burger on the menu that actually comes with a great burger and a $100 gift card (restrictions apply)! We also offer a selection of wines, draft beers, and even mimosas and bloody marys at our bar.

History

Established in 2002.

With an inventive, extensive menu and a put-you-at-ease atmosphere, Black Walnut Cafe emerged in 2002 as a contemporary destination for hungry Houstonians, and we've been savoring the fun ever since. We've expanded across Texas, with locations in Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth. Since our creation we've had the continued desire to create a space where casual comfort welcomes a cultivated palate -- your go-to place for a quick bite, a leisurely brunch, or simply just because. We serve fresh, savory food made with quality ingredients. Across our menu, you'll find personality and presentation, with a balance of thoughtful familiarity and classic comfort - for an experience our guests can delight in time and again.

At some point, we lost count on the songs, as one blended into another and each sounded just like the one before it. Hey, it was Thursday and he was a local putting himself out there for us to listen to. It's nice to have live entertainment during dinner and the background music was just background enough. Our seats were near the bar at the high top tables that gave a commanding view of the stage and bar area. The place was crowded for a Thursday night, filled with regulars enjoying the food and ambiance this century old building exudes in spades. Much like the breakfast menu we enjoyed a few weeks ago, our meals were almost identical. We both enjoyed the Reuben sandwich for our dinner. I personally wished it had more kraut, but the corned beef was tender and flavorful. I had added the sweet potato fried and we shared the cheesy fries as an appetizer. Cheesy fries do not do it justice. They were coated with more than enough cheese, accented with chopped onions and other herbs that added flavor and texture. Our waitress was wonderful and explained anything we had a question about during our meal order. I had an amber beer with dinner that really accented the reuben nicely. All in all, the dinner service was as enjoyable as our venture in there for breakfast. The Red Brick Tavern has now become a place we will go to more often ... not only for the food, but for the ambiance. Ciao, Darrell

This burger is a fully dressed version of a 6 oz beef pattie with avocado slices, pepper Jack cheese and caramelized onions with garlic aioli. It was a filling and good tasting burger and the bun held up to the end. The fries are of a curly and thick style that are seasoned and served hot. I liked them as they are unusual in design and tasted good. The table service was very good too.

My meal with soft drink, tax and tip was $25 which is a little expensive for a burger meal. I'll bet their breakfast meals are good too.

We came here to watch a game that of course, no else cared about inside so we opted to sit outside because we were also with my kids. Took them forever to put it on and hook up the sound. After awhile more people started joining in and watching with us but it's hot in TX and there's no fans out there, plus the food comes out and the flies just swarm you. It took a guy to come help us out on a makeshift fly repellant to make our experience a little better. Server was not attentive at all and was worried about other things I guess. This place would be much better if they changed their kid policy, had fans outside and had better waitresses.

The food was decent, but trying to get a server and keep one was very challenging. At one point, we seen all the waitresses walking around the cement walkway together far away from customers.... Just hanging out. Not only were we irritated, but I could see that others were as well. My husband had to go to the bar and get a beer since we couldn't find our waitress. The bartender ignored him and continued her story to another employee while my husband stood there. She finished her story and then took his order. This was on a Sunday around 2 PM so it wasn't extremely busy. The service was very disappointing and we won't be back. The two star rating is because the food was decent.

Southern Star Brewing

My friends and I spent the day on the lake and were looking for spots to hang out after. I've had…read morethis place on my radar for awhile as I am a huge fan of visiting breweries everywhere I go. Come to find out days before our trip that Southern Star has decided to shut down at the end of June. Sad to see one of Texas' oldest breweries closing down. I had to get here before they did because their beers are great. It's right off 45 and easy to find tucked away off a side road. The grounds are beautiful as well as the building itself. The inside taproom isn't large but the building itself is so I'm wondering they have more hangout spaces. They also have a nice deck where a lot of people were hanging out. Customer service was great. Most everyone in our crew got a flight so we could try a few things. Prices here are excellent and won't break the bank. That's what I love most about breweries. I went with the Strawberry Blonde, Southern Brunch (citrus shandy), Texas Lager, and Pit Stop (cherry cider). I really enjoyed them all especially the Southern Brunch. My friends ordered some apps for the table such as fried pickles, fried mushrooms and waffle fries. They came out piping hot and were all tasty. I saw some pizzas leaving the kitchen and they looked excellent. They also had deals on whole cases of beer for 20 bucks. Killer deal that my friend took advantage of. Sad to see this place is closing. Great breweries are a dying breed from what I have read. If these places weren't so far I would support them more. I wish everyone in the company well and hopefully see them come back in the future.

Brewery #386 This…read morewas my 5th and final brewery of the day (no worries, I spaced them out, so my senses were still intact.....I think). Southern Space was down a tree lined road kind of in the woods in a very nice space. I didn't get to see what the outside area was like (If there was one) but I did see they had a large front porch to hang out at. We got here around 8 or 9 pm and I ordered my usual flight. The place was happening; country music was playing which is not to my taste but at least it wasn't quiet. My flight consisted of a Bombshell Blonde, a Bombshell Hefeweizen, Bombshell Smash IPA, and a Valkyrie (DIPA). Why isn't this place just called Bombshell brewing? Anyway. The beers were all decent but nothing that wow'd me. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably have been the Hefe. They had a kitchen onsite serving up burgers, pizzas and all the fried apps that places usually do. Unfortunately, we had already eaten so I can't really report on that.
