We have wanted to try this place for a long time. My wife wanted to have her birthday lunch there yesterday. We loved it. Our server , Mary was wonderful. The food was excellent . Growing up in a small town I appreciated the small town ambiance. We drove an hour from Leander . Will gladly make the drive again. read more

Simple delicious food and friendly service. Don't leave without a pie!! Saturday early is your best bet on the weekend. Sundays are long wait times. read more

we stopped here for breakfast this morning not knowing exactly what to expect other than we wanted to find a local business to eat breakfast at. Wow the menu was very very good for breakfast choices and when we ordered and received our food our eyes just about popped out of our head, you think we'd been starving for 3 weeks based on the amount of food that was on our plate. Needless to say by the time we finished our belly buttons were outies and no longer innies :-) read more

Blue Bonnet Cafe - Ham and cheese omelette with toast and hash browns. Very tasty. - Desserts Near Me - Marble Falls, Texas

See all

This was on my list for a long time to go back and visit. Visited it really back with friends and didn't remembered much about that. Let's say few things are really good and few of them not so great. We ordered veg sandwich with side of chips and fried okra with texas toast and a stack of pancake. Also a Veg omelette with side of hash browns and biscuits. Let's start with good ones and that's all the sides. Texas toast was very big and tasted good and fresh. Same goes for biscuit and fried okra. But coming to Veg sandwich, it was very badly prepared and tasked okay. I say prepared bad since the cheese was not grilled as we mentioned but a slice was kept which is not the way we do even at home. The Veg omlette was also okay and hash browns were also very oily and not cooked well. But the final savior was the slice of apple pie which was amazing. Next time I pass by Marble falls I will just get a slice of pie togo without doubt. But coming over here back for a full meal, not so sure. read more

Lightning fast service on a Sunday morning! Food was hot and cooked right! Received it faster than any IHOP or Dennys. Waitress was courteous and efficient with all the tables they covered! The hot spot for locals and visitors for breakfast! read more

we've been going here for decades and have NEVER been let down on how amazing it is. I've been asked by people passing through or would be if I could only choose 1 place for them to eat while in marble falls where would it be...there are a few good places...but the first place I'd take them and when I've taken someone visiting from out of town the first place I have taken someone...is Bluebonnet. I also make sure they have some of the amazing homemade pie! it's not unusual for bluebonnet to have a line hanging out the door waiting for a table and happy to do it. the tables are a little tightly packed and I wish they would expand again to reduce the table congestion and ensure they are fully within the ADA standards. their wait staff, hosts, cashiers, everyone have great attitudes and appear to be very well taken care of cuz they don't seem fed up which is common when they are under appreciated financially. the food is always good even with picky kids ir picky elders . No matter what you are in the mood for you will find at least one thing you love. read more

I've been coming here for 25 years. I'm definitely disappointed in the food. Today I ordered enchiladas and tacos. In the past I was enjoyed how good they were. Today however the tacos and the beef enchiladas were made with chili. Very runny! The enchiladas were so overcooked the tortillas were too runny and melted. Pie is still good. read more

A real home cooking kind of restaurant. Great apple pie. Portions were very large, so I had to take half of my lunch back home. read more

This a great diner to stop by for a meal if you're in or passing through Marble Falls. They have good home style cooking and they serve breakfast all day. They are known for their pies so you need to save room for a slice or take a whole pie home. We tried the Banana Cream pie and it was fantastic. Can't wait to try one of their Meringue pies next time. The Meringue was like 6" tall! read more

Every town needs a diner like this. Yes, we had to wait. But worth it. Food is good (the soup is a must try!), prices reasonable - and you can't beat the pie. We took home the German chocolate pie. Different take on a classic cake. My advice to the management and staff - I know it gets busy on weekends. But slow down and show off the hometown hospitality that Marble Falls has. read more

We're really missing the delicious homemade food of yesteryear from the Bluebonnet Cafe in Marble Falls.i guess because it was lunchtime, the floor was noticeably dirty from the traffic walking through. The pot roast sandwich used to be tops on my list, but today was such a disappointment. When the server placed my plate in front of me, I immediately reached for a french fry and a fly flew out from the stack of cold fries. The pot roast was warm & the bread underneath it was dissolved into a gluey paste. The cut lettuce was brown tipped on most pieces, but even though it wasn't fresh, at least it hadn't been soaked in a nitrate solution. The three cherry tomatoes were somewhat shriveled, but didn't taste terribly bad. Since I was starving, I did eat some of the pot roast, which still had the good flavor it's always had, and some salad; had to pass on the cold fly contaminated fries though. There were many people pleased with the fast service, but I would have been happy to have had a freshly made plate instead of one premade way before I even stepped into the restaurant. The pies have always been good, but this time my pie's crust fell off in chunks because it had been frozen and I had declined to have it heated, when I ordered it; not knowing that it had been frozen. Everyone else at our table commented that their food tasted like something from a school cafeteria..... the best bet there would have to be their whole cream pies to take home as a treat when passing through Marble Falls. read more

We just moved to Marble Falls, TX. We were told this was the place to go. The first time I went to the place, as soon as we sat down,the waitress asked what did we want to order. We were taken aback by her abruptness, but we ordered. She then asked what we wanted to drink and if we wanted them in to-go cups?!? She then said, "we close at 8pm and we want to go home!" Understandable. She then tells the kitchen, "They want pie too!" She brings it to the table on a plate? We are over it by then and ask for To-go boxes. She brings one! we have to ask for another more as we had no time to eat with the rush. And, I was so frustrated I dropped my pie in the parking lot!!! The next week we have company from Lubbock, and they have heard of The Blue Bonnet cafe. So I take them there. We are so jammed in the restaurant. Our waitress comes by and brings a two menus (there are 3 of us). She doesn't come back for 10 minutes, and that's just to put silverware on the table. Another 10 minutes she asks our drink order. 10 min later, she asks our order, we also order pies to go,15 min later, she brings our order, no pies. I tell her my fries are cold. She snaps them up. We eat our food. And she brings our check. I ask about the pies, again she disappears and finally brings the pies. I jokingly say my friend isn't going to tip her. And she says, " He damn well better!" I've learned my lesson AND the pies aren't worth the headache. read more

A short road trip took us to Marble Falls to the famous, yes famous, Blue Bonnet Cafe. The restaurant has long been known for it's pies, and desserts, the Blue Bonnet also offers fabulous breakfasts and comfort food. Opened in 1929, the Blue Bonnet is located on Main Street, just a few blocks passed the LBJ Lake bridge on east side of the street. The restaurant has two dining rooms, with plenty of parking. The Blue Bonnet has a large support base of loyal followers, so expect a wait. We are still in the 50% occupancy period, and the restaurant is very diligent with its safety protocols, and a smaller, but adequate menu of offerings. We ordered their two legendary dishes, the pot roast and chicken fried steak. They were delicious and worthy of legendary status. They offer a 4 oz or 8 oz CFS. I made the obvious mistake, I ordered the 8 oz. The 4 oz would have been plenty. My wife's pot roast, yes you guessed it, was huge. We were only able to eat about half of our servings. Why was this such a big mistake, no room for the awarding winning (yes, award winning) pies. Next time, only about a 45 minute drive from downtown Austin. read more

Classic cafe. Efficient service, kindness. Delicious biscuits. Size-able plate, worthy of splitting-great value!

We stopped into to the Blue Bonnet Cafe last week because it was recommended but it was disappointing. We wanted to like it but the food fell short. While the service was very friendly, the coffee, decaf and regular, was coffee in name only. One of our party ordered Chicken Fried Steak and it was so tough and under seasoned that it was almost inedible . The gravy, served with a biscuit, was just milk, black pepper and flour which lacked flavor and seasoning. The sausage patties looked like 2 tired hockey pucks and the Texas toast had a weird sweet taste. On the good side, the pancakes and the hash browns were very good but, sadly the good could not overcome the bad. read more

Never have I seen people more crazy about pie. Pie that's not even that good, to be honest. There's something so stereotypically Southern about this place, not sure if that's good or bad. Well, at least the portions are Texas-sized. First of all, the line went into the parking lot. However, it moved quite quick. Seated in about 30 minutes. The interior is like your typical cheap and dirty diner. Once you place your order, food comes out quick. Rushed, actually. Our waitress was horrible. I asked for my pie slice to be brought out after the meal, but she brought it out first thing. She also never refilled the water. I literally had to walk to the water pitcher multiple times to fill up my cup myself. I liked the complimentary cornbread and rolls. The chicken fried steak was so dry (almost like jerky) and super greasy, but somehow still kind of tasty. The mash and fried okra were both decent. The chocolate meringue pie, which everyone raved about, was okay at best. The crust had a mushy texture and the meringue had a strange taste. Could only finish half a slice before feeling sick. Paid at the counter and leftwith a huge stomach, but also with a full wallet. Everything was extremely cheap. Maybe come once just for the uniquely Texan experience? Or, better yet, don't come at all. read more

Always heard about this place and after going to an awful Mexican Cafe here, I was very eager to try it. It is a famous place written up in many magazines. There was a line out the door for lunch on a Wednesday and you can see why. Great homestyle cooking with tasty sides. They are famous for their pies and what a selection!! Very friendly help and a place that you would certainly want to try again. A Texas treasure. read more

The BBC is a very Southern and down home kind of joint that has staying power in the fabric of Hill Country life over generations. They have pie which encompasses 100% of my interest in the joint. This is the kind of advertisement that would draw Dean Winchester in with "pie happy hour" because pie is everything and I would be using a heart eyes emoji right now about pie if yelp allowed emojis. But yeah they have "pie happy hour" which is simply the most magical time. They have no exterior "order window" for take out or simple orders since this place is very Southern and down home. There is one entrance and you wait in line in a tiny hallway going past the restrooms where you get shoved and jostled as people push ahead to join their party further up in line or the diners push their way back from the other side to hit up the restroom. These restrooms are not gender neutral of course. I imagine the guy that looks the most like a character out of Dukes and Hazzard would cause a scene on someone like Fortune Feimster attempting to use the ladies' restroom (hey, as a deep fried Southerner she made the joke herself in her appearance on netflix's The Standups.) The line moves pretty fast for a deep fried Southern type place. From outside the door to the hostess stand in about 25 minutes. The pie refrigerator is off to your right (right of the hostess stand) after you wind around the kitchen and just before you get seated. The meringue pies are huge and stretch toward the sky more than any meringue I have ever seen before. The fruity pies are less impressive since they are standard sized. Not that I am a size queen or anything but the meringue is probably a good look if you like it deep inside you, rather than nibbling on a small snack as if it were a salad. Since it was seasonal I went with the pumpkin pie so you jokers reading this review in June won't be able to have any, so look who wins, this guy right here that was eating the pumpkin pie. The pumpkin was pretty disappointing since it tasted like it came out of a bland storebought jar; there were no spices or other exotic pumpkin spicey kind of things going for it. I also went with the cherry pie because that is presumably always available and the cherry was far better than the pumpkin. The cherry was flavorful and sweet so she tasted like something, rather than a neutral bland offering like the pumpkin. Any pie is better than no pie. Just like Stone's Rules that is one of my rules and I know Dean Winchester would agree with me. Pie! This was the last time I ever got pie with my dad before he unexpectedly (suddenly) died last year. So to keep the tradition alive I will be back at the BBC with my kid when he is old enough to appreciate pie like a true Winchester. read more

Egg'cellant breakfast! We shared a cinnamon roll that melted in your mouth. Then we each had biscuits and gravy w/scrambled eggs and hash browns. The biscuits were bomb'digity! The gravy was the best I've had, ever! The eggs and hash browns were cooked to perfection. My husband added bacon and sausage and grits! Needless to say it was A LOT of delicious food. Blue Bonnet Cafe is now our breakfast spot while in town. PS, next time we will come in just for PIE...can't wait to try!!! Looks fabulous! read more

Great vibe and we loved the customer service. I was amazed at the variety. My personal favorite was the coconut.

The place is worth the hype and the wait. I had the combo omelet and it was made with fresh eggs, not eggs out of a milk carton. It was very flavorful. The hash browns were very good, though not as flavorful as I personally like, nor as crispy. I had biscuits and gravy as a side, the biscuits look and taste said they are made from scratch. The place was busy, and the servers were all really hustling. We waited about 30 min to he seated, it is first come first serve, no waiting list, no reservations. Be prepared to stand in line! But sooooo worth it! read more

Blue cheese dressing on salad was horrible, tasted worse than bottled generic dressing. Waitress had to be flagged down several times for refilling waters. Liver was overcooked and chewy. Pie was good. read more

This is definitely a destination stop if you are in Marble Falls. This little diner has been around forever, and always lives up to its reputation. Great menu selections. We tried the eggs, ham and hash browns and, of course, the homemade 'Texas toast'. Excellent. Great coffee from local brewer in Cedar Park. Easy parking, but you may need to wait as it is very popular. Go early and you shouldn't wait long. Right on 281 as you enter Marble Falls. read more

Most of the time when I go, I eat their breakfast, but I've never had anything bad there. There WILL be a wait, but generally the line moves pretty fast. You MUST leave room for pie! That's what they're known for. I've had all of them and can say that their fudge, peanut butter cream, banana cream, and lemon cream are my favorites. The meringue pies they make are sky high, but I'm just not a meringue lover. If you are, you definitely need to come here as well! My husband loves their meringue. Pie by the slice (dine in only) is half off during happy hour, which is mid afternoon...can't remember what time exactly. You see lots of folks come in for pie and coffee. It's a great place and the service is always excellent!! read more

Service is awesome! Watching all the ladies cook in the kitchen is really awesome too. Definitely worth a visit. Portions are large!

Great food and Pies! Service is excellent! Very Friendly and helpful staff. Their pie crust are like your Grandma use to make! Love the pies! read more

Our go to place for breakfast and dinner. It's always good. It's always reasonable, and the wait staff are the best in Texas.

I stopped here to see what the hype was all about. We arrived at a good time and had no wait. The staff was very friendly and we got our food pretty fast. It's a cute little place that's seats a lot of people. When you walk in the cafe, it's pretty cool to see all the awards they have received throughout the years. My omelette was good and I really enjoyed the biscuits. I took the pecan pie to go because I was stuffed. The pricing for the meals are very reasonable. The pecan pie was yummy and I'd definitely come back here in the future. If you are in the area, then check this place off your list. read more

Yay also the waitress was the best so funny and 100% awesome service. Food came out quick and hot and cooked to perfection. When we left there was still a line forming. read more

I think just about every resident in Marble Falls will clearly agree that when you visit this quaint town, you MUST eat at least once at Blue Bonnet Cafe. Well known for its pies, the Blue Bonnet Cafe has remained ever so popular with the tourists AND loyal locals. Dining in can be a wait, typically with a line out the door, with an average time of at least 20-30 minutes to be seated. But once in, service is fast and food is down home good cooking. Interior is definitely a cafe-style eatery, pretty nostalgic especially with the number of framed newspaper clippings and restaurant recognitions to read as you wait in that line for your table. We've been three times and there is now reserved motorcycle parking; it is quite the perfect stop for all hogs that roll through, to stretch those legs and rest the arms and tush. read more

Blue Bonnet Cafe - Desserts Near Me - Marble Falls, Texas

Breakfast was a bust, again. I should stop going back there expecting a positive experience, but my wife likes their bacon, eggs and hash browns. I always bring my own coffee since theirs is consistently weak and tasteless. My bacon and veggie omelette were perfectly cooked but the onions and mushrooms were not fresh. My wife's eggs and bacon were cooked just right. Both our hash browns tasted like burnt grease or a dirty cook top. We couldn't eat them. We asked to speak with a manager after our server told us others had similar comments about the hash browns. The manager never visited our table. The hash browns were not taken off our check. This place is focused on profit, not quality. $38, and I left hungry. read more

I had a club sandwich and a slice of lemon mirrenge pie. The sandwich was great but the pie had a weird chemicaly taste something was definitely off this slice of pie, but this place is known for pies, so I'd still go back and try a different flavor. I was so hungry though I still ate it and didn't get sick. read more

The people are so efficient. Very business-like and not what I'd consider friendly. But, this is the first and only time we've been here, so it could be an off day. I hope. I'm also here during the COVID restrictions, so unsure how much that will affect the way the business is running today or how their customer service is, so figured I'd mention that. I ordered hot cakes and sausage patty since when I asked the server's opinion about the ribs special, she said there was just one piece left (!) and last week it was dry. I appreciate the honesty. I often ask restaurant servers for their recommendations and opinions on certain items. Not gonna lie, aside from me wanting to know, it's a good test. I like honest answers and can usually tell when I'm getting one. Husband ordered the cheeseburger with an extra patty and fries. Food came at a decent to good turnaround time. I was perturbed to be handed 8 pats of cold, hard, refrigerated butter pats for my hot cakes. NOT conducive to a happy hotcake eating experience. The butter didn't quite soften or melt until about 15+ minutes in to my meal. Such a bummer. But becs they handed me real butter, the flavor was great wherever the butter pat rested, other than that there isn't much more to say. I ate half of eat becs the taste and texture was underwhelming. The Sausage was not flavorful at all. When you eat a breakfast pork link or patty, you're expecting a savory treat. The texture and lack of taste of the patty made me think of a sponge. No exaggeration. I ate one, tricked the hubby into eating the other. Ha! I love messing with him. On a serious note, I would strongly suggest to the restaurant to change the sausage ASAP. Honestly, if I wouldn't recommend an item to a friend or family member, a business shouldn't waste their time or money with it on their menu. Just my opinion. Drinks were refilled promptly by our server. It was neat to see how many pie flavors there were on the menu but each at a whopping $16.29 to take a whole one home. See my photo of menu. The Blue Bonnet Cafe's hours have changed due to COVID, so be sure to call ahead before coming down. The restaurant is currently taking measures to help lessen the spread of COVID at this time. 1. I saw employees wearing masks, 2. sanitizing tables between the seating of each party, 3. social distancing line on the floor inside the restaurant and 4. a sign out front to advise people to stay outside and wait to be seated by hostess. 5. Hostess texts when table is ready. 6. Condiments like Ketchup, syrup, salt and pepper are in individual use containers/packets. I liked our server, my husband's French fries were yum and he was happy with his burger. I was pleased that our check was under $20, but honestly I don't see myself ever stopping in again. There's way too much competition out there and I love food too much to settle for mediocrity. I work hard for my money so I think that's reasonable. ‍ read more

Heard good things about this place so thought I check it out. I'm not a local I'm from out of state n heard good reviews about this place.

N meh. I heard their pies are very good so I ordered a whole peach pie to go. When I got home and had a piece blah no taste that a home made pie did not pass this test. Overall rating 2 stars and that's being generous read more
