Spent 30 minutes waiting for some toast for my eggs. It seems the waiter forgot to bring them, but the eggs were stone cold by the time they remembered to ask. No recompense was offered so I just left as I was made to tip before service read more

We checked in and were told the wait was 10 min. We sat in an outdoor waiting area for 5 min being asked to move so the tables could be used to seat parties. So we went to wait in the car. We waited 20 min and nothing, so we decided to leave. There were a lot of people at the door so we didn't go back up to remove ourselves from the list. We ate somewhere else and still 2 hours later never received a text that we could be seated. Also the hostess did not have good customer service skills. The manager did reach out to apologize and assure me that staff would be trained better. read more

So hard reviewing some of these restaurants during Covid /social distancing. Because everything is just a little bit off from the normal. I will say I haven't been in this location for a few months. But they're doing a good job. I didn't notice that the tables were specifically marked for social distancing, but they did seem to be spaced apart well. You still place your order at the counter. And then they either give you a buzzer or or will bring it to you. I was craving a Bloody Mary & some sort of appetizer. So this seemed to be a good nearby spot. I did find the Bloody Mary a little small on the portion. However, a nice big glass of cold filtered water complemented the rest of my meal. The spinach artichoke dip was a great starter. And came with plenty of chips. Which I find to be a problem at some restaurants, that struggle with the chip-to-dip ratio. But not here! I did find the Salmon Caesar Salad to be spot on. I never, ever have room for dessert, which I always regret. Because the gelato and the desserts always look so good. read more

Hubby and I had dinner and drinks in the bar and Abigail was very friendly and helpful with choosing our selections. I really enjoyed the cocktail she recommended and made. Very knowledgeable and personable which is hard to find in many establishments. read more

We used to come to this location all the time but haven't in at least two years. It has definitely improved since then. You still order at the counter, but they now bring your food and drinks to you versus getting up and fighting the mass confusion at the food counter then having to wait at the bar for your cocktail or juice--much better! The servers were attentive and friendly, and we all enjoyed our food and cocktails--great top shelf margaritas, tacos and burgers! Arrived on a Sunday around 12:15, and there was no wait, surprisingly. Will come again soon! read more

To say this place is extremely amazing is certainly an understatement of epic proportions. From the tomato soup to the eggs benedict and not to mention the great chicken salads, they've got a great flavor all the way around. Do I even have to mention that they have a great gelato selection as well? read more

We love black walnut on Cinco ranch and come here every other day for breakfast. Today, our sandwich was not as good as usual so we asked the cashier to remake just one not both since I ate a piece of mine. She was very attentive. It was a sandwich and the egg was too oily and the bacon didn't taste right. The manager on duty (Tuesday March 1st 10:30 am) didn't tell us his name, white older guy with glasses. Came to our table very rudely to argue about the sandwich! Very unprofessional and telling us it was our fault because we didn't specify that we wanted it dry. Then he brought the new plate and just threw it on the table, didn't say a word and walked away. read more

Just ate here with my mom and couldn't decide on the dessert. Chose tiramisu and then the manager Siling blessed me with a cannoli to try. Check this place out guys. The service is beyond amazing! Thanks again Siling! read more

Good food. The beef tacos were well prepared, even though you don't come to a place like this for tacos. The grilled cheese with beef stew was great but a little too salty. The accompanying tomato soup was too thick. The side salad was small but well prepared Overall a good experience after being offended by slop at el meson. So if in rice village, go here for a good meal and atmosphere read more

Definitely not family friendly. No kids menu at all. The only thing they offer when you ask what they have for kids is they say everything is a la carte. FYI for 1 very BLAND pancake a la carte it's $6. Ridiculous. Comes with nothing else and our 3 year old said it tasted "nasty" (and we confirmed this when we bit it and it tasted like flour). Will not be back. The manager said they used to have a kids menu and it wasn't working for them so they basically got rid of it (for their own benefit). You order at a cash register (with a grouchy teenager cashier who offers no assistance) and then they ask you for a tip on a $70+ ticket (for 3 people) that they punched in in 30 seconds. When your food comes out, it's wrong. Then you have to wait for them to make it again while the rest of your food grows cold. What a complete nightmare. Definitely not customer-focused. read more

My son and I have had the cheesy lobster pasta on many occasions and really loved it. This time the lobster meat in both our orders' tasted bad, very fishy. The fishy smell was also stronger than normal. We ate it anyway. I hope we don't get food poisoning. If we do, I will let you know! It looked fine, it was the smell and taste that was off. Very disappointing! read more

I dined here for the first time today. It was fabulous! One of the best salmon salads I've ever had. Can't wait to go back! read more

Just all around goodness. Brunch was great. It was very busy but our food came out faster there than in most restaurants that are at half the capacity. Carrina our waitress was fabulous. She was like part of the family before we left the establishment. Ask her to see a picture of her 2 little angels. If you see Carrina, tell her Grumpy Bear sent you!! read more

The first thing you notice is the young folks working the counter appear to be well trained, polite and engaged. The young man helping me made suggestions and polite conversation and was super helpful. I enjoyed the happy hour menu turkey burger/fries and found the prices to be outstanding. The chocolate cake was wonderful as well. Having people up front that have a great personality and helpful attitude towards their older customers is great as well. What great management as well. I'll be back!! read more

I recently moved to houston. And was exploring around for good restaurants . When i found black walnut Cafe i was excited as i have gluten allergy and menu looked promising. First time i had food was awesome evrything was good. With same expectation i went again i ended up in ER with severe gluten allergic reaction. Although we mentioned while ordering we wanted gluten free smhow they managed to be irresponsible. If someone asks for gluten free its because they can't eat. Its basically a matter of life and death. If u cant provide dont serve but don't do cruelty. I shared this many people everyone was like go sue . For me it took some time to get over the fact i ended up in ER and more than that i dont care about suing. I am posting this so that if any gluten allergic individual are there please dont risk ur life. There are better restaurants out there . Ending up in ER and have all that allergic episode is no fun. Tc guys read more

First time at Black Walnut Cafe and I loved it! Sat at the bar, and was served right away. The waitresses/bar staff were attentive. I ordered the Huevos Mexicanos which came with scrambled eggs, cheddar, chipotle Pavia Alfredo sauce, pico de gallo, guacamole, house potatoes, flour tortillas. Everything was so delicious and I also ordered a pineapple mimosa, delightful. I ordered some spinach dip to go and yes it tasted soooo good. I would definitely return back to the cafe to try something else! Great service- highly recommend. read more

Update as 8/10/19- I visit black walnut Café Saturday and let me start by saying the chicken and waffles were just amazing! The chicken flavor was delicious! I could eat it everyday! My husband decides to try the bacon and eggs plate which include pancakes ! He said they were amazing too. We also try the croissant with omelette- surprisingly delicious! I don't know if in my previous visit the chef was out or not a good day but this visit was just perfect! Although I missed the Peruvian coffee ! ---------------------------------------- Old post The chicken and waffles were ok! The chicken was dry no flavor on the other hand the waffle with butter taste good. Coffee was good I think they have room to improve their food with a little more taste the chicken salad Croissant didn't have any taste wa I don't recommend this place as your first option to have breakfast read more

Had a birthday brunch here and it was sooo good! I had the Caramel Apple French Toast and maybe I was hungry but it was some of the best french toast I've had. I also ordered grits and potatoes. I generally prefer hash browns over potatoes but they were pretty good here. I wasn't sure I'd like the grits but they were really good too! The have several flavors of mimosas but the pineapple mimosa by far the best, especially if you want to try something besides orange juice. The line was fairly long and it was pretty crowded when we went in, but considering it was late on a Saturday morning, it moved a lot faster than I expected. We were able to grab a table in front of a tv to watch college football games and order our food in a decent amount of time. This might be my new favorite brunch spot, especially if I don't feel like driving into Houston for some of the different spots. read more

I got French toast and it's by far the top 3 French toast I have ever eaten. The potatoes, eggs and breakfast sausage were okay it tasted better with salt and pepper. The chicken taquito was just okay. I wasn't a big fan of it but the guacamole was fresh and tasty. The Chipotle Pavia Alfredo sauce helped it out. The Oreo cheesecake was ehh at most to be honest. The fully flavored whipped cream was delicious by itself and I needed the whipped cream to eat the oreo cheese cake. Overall a 3.5 BUT the deliciousness of the French toast brings up to a 4/5. Very cheap and I will still be coming back again. read more

My mother and I went on Halloween for lunch and shared the Black Walnut Salad and a bowl of the chicken tortilla soup, both looked so delicious I forgot to take a picture before! To begin, most of the staff had on some sort of Halloween accessory, which made the experience very fun and spirited. Everyone was so kind. Both the salad and soup were great! The salad was a generous portion. The chicken on the salad was so tender and seasoned amazing, would've been great on its own. The ingredients were very fresh! The soup was also seasoned well and had good flavor. Both the soup and salad came with a breadstick that had a good crunch to it and was very scrumptious. I recommend both highly. When we were placing our order their white chocolate walnut croissant caught our eye. Per the cashiers recommendation, we got it warmed. I have quite the sweet tooth, but even for me this was a little too sweet. It actually had too much white chocolate and I think it would've been much better if it wasn't as over powering. Towards the end of our meal, the manager stopped by and asked how our meal was, which is always nice. Can't stress enough how friendly everyone was. It was a great experience and we will be back! read more

What an utter disappointment! Went for breakfast 7/4/21. They're closed Mondays. Returned today, Saturday. First off you stand in line through the door with menus and they tell you what table. Getting to the register for 4... my Oder alone for omelet, side of bacon, cinnamon bun was $27.00!!! Add my 3 family members $80.70 for breakfast ! You pay, and they ask you for a tip???!! Yes not so much. 15 min in line to get this far. Next go to table. Serve your own water, grab your own Silverware and wait. No music... 22 or more minutes later out comes food. The food decent, even tasty... not my idea of dining and way not for the price. Hot as heck in there too. Sorry save the money$$$ Just not worth 80 bucks for 4! Never again. Save the time & money... read more

I haven't been to black walnut in years and I forgot how much I loved it. The employees were so sweet and helpful. Despite the place being full they were on top of how clean it was and how fast they tried to attend to everyone. I got the Avocado/Bacon and eggs Benedict! It was a delight. So flavorful and the grits that accompanied them were my favorite. Food came out at an appropriate time given it was so busy. Family friendly and a brunch hot spot. 10/10 recommend read more

This was one of my favorite places for breakfast and I've given it 4 and 1/2 starts but today the food was just not great. I'll post pictures - Pico Benedict: not hot, and served with very little potatoes. This is what I always get and today when I told whoever was at the bar that it's a lot smaller than usual he just responded "It's pre-portioned." That's it. No show of concern, offer to add another portion or anything. -Frenchy breakfast: also tiny portion and cold. I asked someone to help me with my coffee as I had a toddler and they said "I can't now." Not a cheap place and I expected more. read more

Well again everyone is going to this place in Cinco Ranch, and being a hipster that I am I have to give it a shot. No but seriously I was just hungary for breakfast. This place is located right off Cinco Ranch Blvd. Huge parking lot which is plus, it always helps when you start a meal on the good note. The place was self serve. You order and they give a buzzer, when food is done the buzzer go off. You paid first and they expect a top right off bat. Which is kind of irritating . The breakfast was decent and the eggs was cook right. And love the Texas toast. The orange juice was good too. Overall a good experience. But many choice in Katy for breakfast this would not be my first choice. Well curiosity cure and on to the next place. read more

I wanted to update my experience for the curbside pickup. I ordered the grilled cheese with pot roast and creamy tomato soup and was told it would be ready in 15-20 minutes. They asked where I was located in the parking lot and my car and told me they would bring it out to me. Thirty minutes later and no sign of my food. I approached the employees standing and joking at the front door and asked if they had any ideas and they said "oh yeah, it's right here." And handed me my order which had been sitting there. The food was excellent but service was lacking. If you can't do curbside that's cool but don't let the food just sit there. Not sure if I will be back, which was a shame because the food was A+ read more

First time dining at Black Walnut Cafe in over a year. It's been a long while we had breakfast out since the Covid pandemic. I prefer to eat at home but today I wanted to support our local restaurants for breakfast. As always, I call beforehand to question their Covid guidelines to keep the public safe and if outdoor seating is available and spaced appropriately. We came for breakfast this past Saturday at 10:30 AM. When we pulled up I was glad to see they had an employee counting the number of people coming inside the restaurant for capacity limitations. You must wear a mask upon entry and there were several hand washing stations throughout restaurant. Also, they require adequate 6 ft spacing in line to order so you have to wait outside until space is available. To place your order you must use the QR Reader on your phone to view the menu to order. No cash tips as they require contactless payments. I noticed they have more outdoor seating around the outside of the restaurant which made it safer for dining if you're concerned about being too close to others. We ate outside under their trellis area and they bring your order to you wearing masks to avoid people standing around waiting at the counter. I must comment that the food was hot, fresh and delicious. I felt comfortably safe eating here with their Covid guidelines in place. Some prior reviews complained about the restaurant being over crowded and not safe by Covid guidelines during certain times of the day. It was earlier morning when we dined so I can only speak to what I witnessed. That being said, I hope they continue these strict guidelines at ALL TIMES and don't relax them because Covid-19 is still a real concern and serious threat to many lives. We want to patrons our local restaurants but only if they are committed to keeping their customers safe. read more

Stopped in while in the area and had the breakfast enchilada. this place was pretty big and a busy place that was seemingly organized . However I am just not a fan of counter service. The food was good. The Vibe was pretty cool with the seating area you could sit at a table or some comfy overstuffed chairs, which is what I chose. The bathroom was nice and clean. read more
