Okay, so it takes all types. But I don't really understand the enthusiasm for this place. I have eaten here on several occasions, the food is just consistently mediocre. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I have a long track record of enjoying mediocre diner food all over the country, but the service here is particularly uneven and they're charging a premium for the food. Today's visit included a cheeseburger, french fries, and fettuccine alfredo all of which were uninspired. I can't decide if service was simply inattentive or intentionally stingy with drink refills. And we ordered desert, the buttermilk pie was average but I say that with love, the brownie was a large block of subpar cake covered in copious amounts of chocolate. I wasn't personally impressed with the brownie, but if you like large volumes of chocolate cake I can't say I don't recommend it. There's literally nothing terrible about the Eden Cafe, if I had to find something nice to say about it it would be that the menu is widely varied and that might work well for groups that can't agree on a single narrower cuisine. read more

Eden Table - Restaurant + Bar - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

Best Cuban sandwich I have had in a long, long time. Their ropa vieja is just like my grandmother's, and the fettuccini is to die for. Everything is made fresh at the rest and one can tell. Even their Caesar salad dressing is made in house and you can taste the difference! Do your palate a favor and eat at this local small business. You'll be glad you did. read more

The food was good. One meal out of our party of 5 was forgotten by the staff which put a damper on enjoying our meal. Th restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. It is a very calming atmosphere. I'm read more

Great local Magnolia restaurant! Good selection of entrees, good wine list and fun atmosphere. I had their filet and it was cooked to perfection. Just on the outskirts of The Woodlands so quite convenient. read more

Love the food! It's such a wonderful dining experience. The ambiance is low key and the service is amazing. We haven't had anything bad. Great place to bring the family. read more

Good home style cooking with good service. We have never been disappointed and will continue to go back when we are craving a home style meal without the cooking read more

Update. We got the family meal take out package tonight. The lasagna is amazing. The best I've ever had. But don't tell anyone - they might run out and I'll be ready for more in a couple of days. I also highly recommend the Caesar dressing. Really nice people too. Even behind masks you can tell they are always smiling and glad to see you. read more

More like a 3.5 First time visit and it's based solely on the food as we used curbside, since we had a dog in the car. Someone had suggested this place for their Cuban sandwiches. I ordered plantains with mine which, regretfully, well burnt and overly ripe. The sandwich, however, was perfect. I do wish they had medialunas. Maybe they do and I missed that. Now for the reason of my review, on the same order I requested a cheeseburger with "just cheese, nothing else on it". I got their regular cheeseburger, which they failed to mention came with all toppings, mustard included. Needless to say, the burger was a waste as my picky mustard hater child wouldn't eat it. It also came with about four or five fries. To say I am dissatisfied is an understatement. I don't think I'll be going back. Attention to detail goes a long way. But shame on me for not checking the order befoe read more

A little hidden gem right off of 1488 is Cuban owned restaurant serves up delectable cuisine and offers both an intim and family setting.

What a great little gem of a place! Great service. Great food. Very friendly and helpful. A great place to meet friends-not too noisy and family friendly. Bronson our waiter was fabulous. There were so many things on the menu to choose from, I will be back so I can try them all. read more

Eden Table - Restaurant + Bar - Great full service bar! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

Good chicken fried steak and breakfast but had work to do on some things for more flavorful food they do have a variety wish I could grade 5 stars but gravy didn't taste homemade read more

Breakfast, lunch or dinner Eden Cafe does it all. Friendly atmosphere and service is always great. Good for families. Food is always done right and comes out at the right time. read more

Always delicious food. A lot of it is organic. Highly recommend the Tuscan Bruchetta and the Laura Salad. Owners are often on the premises speaking to customers. read more

I have visited this restaurant twice this year, as I live in another state and am here for work. Both times the food and service has been outstanding. I have only ever had the Chicken Fried Chicken and an old fashion cockation but have yet to be disappointed! Cant wait to come visit again soon! Staff is friendly, fast service and quality food! Great job! read more

1. Service - I applaud our waiter / bar tender for his great service! Waiter was friendly, very attentive, and very accommodating. I can't recall his name, but they need to multiply his ways of service. 2. Price - $10-$15 a person. Very affordable. 3. Ambiance - This is a gastropub (bar and restaurant), and the decor is made of dark wooden walls, and hardwood floors. I would say this is a great place to hang with your bros (bar), and an excellent place to bring a date (regular tables). Dress code here is smart casual. 4. Food - I had the Chicken Picatta and the wife had the Chicken Marsala. If you like a lemony flavor, go for the Chicken Picatta. I've really enjoyed it. The wife and our friends seem to really enjoy the Chicken Marsala. 5. Cleanliness - Clean dining area and restrooms. That's the most you can ask for. I've always enjoyed my experiences at this restaurant,specifically, referring to their food and services that is. I would recommend people to eat here, however, I don't crave this place. Do they deserve 5 stars? ABSOLUTELY! They passed all 5 of my sections rated above. read more

This place is consistently awesome. Local favorite with great prices and great food. Owners know regulars by name, and wine is half price on Winesday and possibly Monday too. I order Laura's salad with grilled salmon often, I've heard the ropa vieja is amazing, and the americano with steamed almond is read more

Fantastic family owned restaurant. My husband and I enjoy dinners here. Excellent service and friendly staff. Always an enjoyable time. I recommend over and over. read more

I finally got around to giving this place another opportunity. I went there for lunch with my youngest. Well i ordered lunch, it was right in between. I had the cuban sandwich. Honestly it was pretty dam good. I lived on cuban sandwiches when I lived in Miami. Nice ham, pork, flattened almost as it should be. The only thing i did not not care for was that the roll was basted in garlic butter (oil?) before it was pressed. It was really good and fills a void that i would normally drive deep into Houston for. i will go back to try other items. I guess my only desire would be to have some Venezuela options ( my wife is from Caracas) and some Cuban options (Vaca Frita, plantains, yucca) for me, but you have to serve the customers that you have. Maybe a special every now and then? I would normally post photos, but i ate it too quick ;) read more

Mom and Pop feel, great diverse selection of food on the menu. Owner operated, small town feel with a fantastic ambiance. Service is always on point. Drinks ain't too shabby either. This is our local favorite. We go several times a month. Love! read more

First Time Going Great Hospitality. All Of Our Food Was Very Fresh & Delicious! Definitely will Be Back!

Wife and myself have visited multiple times and every visit we have really enjoyed the food. Last night my wife had the special which was grouper and I had the steak medallions, both were outstanding. My usual go too is the steak salad and it is phenomenal. And Wednesdays they have 1/2 off wines and that is all wines not just the cheap ones. You can get a great bottle of wine for a super price. Would highly recommend. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere!!! Family friendly environment with great customer service. This family owned restaurant won't disappoint.

Always good, I still think they have the best clam chowder. My kids love the Brussels

Just finished a wonderful dinner with great service. I had the Blackened Shrimp Street Tacos they were outstanding with the jalapeno, cilantro sauce. So yummy. My wife had the special, almond encrusted red fish. I had several big bites so very well prepared. We sat in the bar with really good service from the bartender. Going back is definitely on our list. read more

I have been here a few times, each time was good service and good food. The portion was big enough for me to eat 1.5ish meals, so i had a full meal, got super duper full, then had the left over boxed and then i ate during the car ride home lol. So ya, the food never made it home to my apartment, my cats could smell that I was a chubby butt. I have had the spinach/bacon omelet, chicken Marsala, Eden skillets, coffee, some soup, they were all good. Now, it's not spectacularly good per se, but decent for a small cafe when you do not want to make your own breakfast, or lunch. The server ladies were nice, and attentive. I like. Will come back when I'm lazy again. Which is like...every weekend, cauze... who makes breakfast during the week anyway? JK. read more

Eden Table - Restaurant + Bar - Chicken Marsala, I think, or Picatta? Yes it's chicken Picatta. And I think it's Eden skillet. Yum!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

I have been to Eden Café on a number of occasions. Each time I have been completely satisfied with my choices as their food is consistently good. The staff is constantly ensuring that you are satisfied with everything. Overall, I would recommend Eden Café. Of note, I had asked for a café Cubano, which was not on their menu yet they made every attempt to make me one. Kudos! read more

Great small neighborhood business very friendly staff and prices are good nice embiance

Food is ok. Menu is different. I have a hard time deciding what to order there. However, the chicken pot pie (heavy) and the jalapeno corn (caloric) are excellent. Very good wine selection. Ambiance is homey. Service is usually average. Def. worth a try. read more

It's good. Prices are not too bad for what you get and the quality of the food. We've been twice since moving to Magnolia and have not been disappointed. Depending on what time of day you go, you could be in for a bit of a wait. read more

We visited this place for thursday lunch, and got sat immediately. I'm sure they also take reservation but the wait isn't too bad. It is very well decorated place. Very cozy and friendly , casual/ ambient atmosphere. When we arrived, we asked today's special. They had home made chicken noodle soup for today and I got a combination menu which includes two of soup/ salad / sandwich. Food took not to long to come out. Waiters and waitresses were really nice and friendly. Unfortunately they only serves breakfast or brunch menu on saturday, but they have all kinds of menu to meet your taste. They serve authentic home style food. it was only my first time, Foods were amazing and my favorite was their soup of the day. 1. Combo menu: 5/5 i think it was a good menu to choose for any lunch time, if you are craving for little bit of everything. Chicken noodle soup definitely hit the spot for me. BLT was also realy well prepared, crispy bacons and toasts were amazing. 2. Cesar salad: 4/5 regular salad with dressing, and cheese 3. Chicken alfredo pasta: Pasta was perfectly cooked, and homemade alfredo sauce made the pasta extra delicious. 4/5 I'm definitely coming back for more experience in the future. They also noted that they have wine event coming next month! read more

We have been eating at Eden cafe for years and they never disappoint! The food is always delicious and the service attentive. I'd like to talk about a lot of their dishes but I order the Chicken Picatta every single time!! Artichokes and capers and chicken so tender it falls apart--all cooked in a delicious sauce. My husband always gets the pork chops and a good friend gets the meat loaf every time and they go there to eat with me every time I ask!! If you haven't been yet go! read more

First time writing review at this place even though I been here a bunch of times. Nice environment , friendly staff. I always like the old country house atmosphere I get here. They greet you with warm welcome, and I think few waitresses started noticing me ever since I started coming here so often. Interior is decorated with southern style wall statements, chalk boards, shelves and old wall paints. I really like the overall ambiance from people who work there and people who visits this place. Its mildly loud compared to panera or other sandwich places that people usually visits for lunch hr. But it gives you really lively energy if you are taking a break from work. This is a good place to go for a nice home cook meal. 1. My all time favorite is fettuccine alfredo 4/5. Sauce is not too thick or not too runny. Noodles are cooked perfectly, gives you good texture. IT only comes with sauce and meat choices, and I had to order spinach to be cooked with my pasta. They charged me $3 for a single choice of vege that goes in pasta. 2. Classic cheese burger: 4/5. Unlike commercial burgers, they put minimum amount of salt and pepper when making the patty. I really like that about this burger, that you can control the saltiness of your food. Bun was little bit too dry for me , but over all a delicious plate 3. soup of the day "gumbo": Be aware their bowl size is 16 oz. It is a large bowl for you and your group to share!! Definitely love every soup choices they have. I once also had their chicken noodle soup and it was amazing. definitely home style . 4. Cesar salad: 4/5. They have their own special cesar sauce. Pretty good starter for your big meal. Overall i'd like to give Ambience 4/5 Food was 4/5 a little on the expensive side. Service 5/5 read more

Love the selection and am never disappointed. Their sweet potato casserole is the best!

Ate there tonight. Wife's dish had way too much pesto. They never brought her mashed potatoes. The free bread was basic white toast with butter. Broccoli was good. Fried shrimp seemed basic and Sysco like. Won't be back. read more

Came came here on a Friday night to celebrate birthdays by three out of the four people in our family. Ordered 1 chicken picatta, Two blackened salmon, and one blackened red fish. Decided to pair it all with a Pinot Noir from Lodi California. Everything delicious and good service. We have been here previously for lunch, chatted a few times with the owner and decided that this is probably our favorite when we are in the Woodlands. read more

Took my mother for breakfast yesterday. She uses a walker so I called ahead to make sure there'd be a comfortable table with enough room to set it next to us while we dined. Not only did Alex assure me he had a spot close to the front but upon arrival he also was our server and could not have been kinder and more efficient. Our French toast and American breakfasts were tasty and plentiful with enough to take home for later. Have to say my favorite item was my latte-as good as any I've had in Italy. I've only dined here once before for a private party, but will definitely be revisiting again soon. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would!! This is "home" cooking at it's finest; comfort food with a gourmet twist here and there. You can feel the love and passion in the food, as well as the people serving it. As some others have said, if you love near here, try it... if you're anywhere close to the area visiting, try it!! When you first walk in, you can tell that this casual, quaint, family owned restaurant is run from the heart. Food, Faith, Family is on the wall in bold block letters and totally describes the vibe here. One of the owners even dropped by our table to ask how things were, and the waitstaff had told her it was our first time, as she knew this coming to the table... little touches like that are always greatly appreciated. As far as the rest of the review, where do i start? Service: Superb, awesome, amazing, outstanding. Ashtyn was our server, and she was SUPER!! What a great positive attitude that you don't often see in anyone working anywhere! Always smiling, always attentive, and she didn't steer us wrong about the food! You could tell that she genuinely liked working there, and that the staff seemed more like a family, and you were dining among friends, rather than just another patron in another restaurant. Ashtyn, hats off to you! Food: Some of the best, comforting, tasty food I've had in a while. Ashtyn recommended several things on the menu, and while I was in the mood for a simple steak (although they have sauces that you don't always find to go with steak : bearnaise, chimichuri, au poivre, etc), her recommendation of the chicken picatta struck a chord and I ordered it. My wife took her suggestion for the chicken pot pie, which is a meal in itself, but also came with choice of sides, which she got mac n cheese, and the creamy jalapeno corn. Picatta was perfectly lemony, buttery, salty (capers) and nothing overpowering. Chicken was cooked perfectly, and melt in your mouth juicy... the side of spinach fettuccini was good as well. Ceaser salad I got before the entree was pretty good. The only knock i'd give is the croutons... with all the other house made things, a good buttery crunch house made crouton would be awesome. Pot Pie: I tasted this and it was super yummy, comfort food at it's best. The crust was delicate and flaky, golden brown and lapped over the side of the ramekin as it should be. Filling was plentiful, tasty, lots of chicken with a good balance of veggies in the middle. Mac n Cheese - was pretty darn good. Not the best i've had by far, but solid house made, and tasty. Jalapeno Corn - THIS is the side to get. The flavors in this are amazing. It's got just enough creaminess and just enough light heat from the jalapeno. I could eat a bowl of this for a meal. Cheesecake: We don't normally get dessert, but since they were bestowing this gift on us, and it's the Christmas season, why not. It was one of the better cheesecakes I've had; firm, yet luscious and creamy like a cheesecake should be... too many places have very grainy cheesecake, and this isn't one of them. The crust was a mystery... tasted somewhat of graham crackers, but there was something else, perhaps pecans, and I detected a strong molasses flavor that was very welcomed. The best part: they sprinkle sugar on the cut edge of the slice and brulee it! It was amazing! It was served with a dollop of real whipped cream, and a house made strawberry compote/sauce on the side that was heavenly... I'd like to come back for breakfast on the weekend and try it on toast! All in all this was one of the best places we've been in a while. It's alway nice to find casual spots that care about the food and service they put out... especially when they're as reasonably priced. Add all this up, plus the amazing service and care from the owner and other staff... just makes me sad we hadn't tried it sooner. Definitely will be back! read more

Always wonderful food and a nice clean comfortable atmosphere. All of the servers and staff are amazing! Highly recommend for any occasion.

Ate here for their special Valentines Day dinner. Everything was wonderful! The food was excellent and the service was top notch thanks to our server Josie! They had a special pre fixe dinner with drinks for each course and the selections were beautifully put together! This is one of our favorite spots and they did not disappoint tonight! Worth going out in the snow/ice for! Highly recommend! read more

Hubby and I stopped after some medical lab work on our way home to Austin. 1st meal out since the COVID-19 debacle. Great safety compliance and the food, quality and service was amazing! The Avocado Burger was perfect on their homemade cheddar jalapeño bun, and their specially seasoned steak fries were the best this snooty eater has ever had!!! Husband's Greek salad was exceptional with enough added grilled chicken for 2 meals. But don't forget to save room for dessert made in-house. Their Strawberry Rhubarb was outrageously good. Obviously we'll be back!!! read more
