If you worship at the Altar of Sourdough, I have found the Gates of Bread Heaven…read more I have sourdough across this Land from Florida to California and THIS is the best flavored sourdough I have ever had in my decades of eating. The crust has a chew to it that is firm but gives way soon enough after biting. What it gives way to is a crumb that is soft, textured and smells like a double dose of sourdough yeast. The starter is at least 25 years old and boy howdy, it really packs a punch. So much so, I asked an employee there if they sold starter. I would have bought some to use and grow at home. Enough about their star item ... let's go over the lunch I enjoyed there yesterday (15May26, got a free cookie on their birthday). I had their Crawfish Mac and Cheese in a bread bowl. The pasta was curly and cooked al-dente, as any pasta should be. The pieces of crawfish had a slight, very slight dusting of bread crumbs on them that added a nice texture to the forkful of pasta and creamy cheesiness that is a hallmark of mac n cheese. Needless to say, I managed to finish the contents of the bowl (the plug of bread removed is also served) and about half of the wonderful bread bowl before forcing myself to just stop. The remains were dutifully doggie bagged and brought with me as a snack to be enjoyed on the drive home. I will be in College Station many times over the next four years and when there, Blue Baker is definitely on my list of places to get great bread and a good lunch. There are three in Aggieland, so try them all if you are nearby. Ciao, Darrell

I ordered the Upcluck and Away mac and cheese, plus a snack portion of the chicken and waffles with the maple aioli sauce. The food was definitely the highlight. The mac and cheese was really good, and that maple aioli sauce on the chicken and waffles was so good. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the portions were decent for what I ordered. I also got the banana brûlée matcha. It was good, but the matcha itself didn't taste ceremonial grade. It had a slightly chalky texture that took away from it a bit. One downside was the wait. I stood in line for about 30 minutes, which was longer than expected. Overall, the food hits, especially if you're craving something savory and indulgent, but the wait and the drink quality keep it from being a higher rating for me. I'd still come back, just maybe at a less busy time, so not the weekends at all!

I got a three egg omelette with biscuit and hash browns, and it didn't disappoint. My waitress did have a horrible cough and I didn't like that as she served my food, but my immune system is tough .

I don't normally leave negative reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I felt people…read moreshould know. The atmosphere was uncomfortable from the moment we arrived. An older woman wearing a purple polo was yelling from the kitchen at one of the servers. She was so harsh that the server ended up crying, which was heartbreaking and incredibly unprofessional to witness as a customer. The most disturbing part of our visit was when a roach crawled across our table while we were eating. A woman with short hair and glasses, who identified herself as a manager, came over, saw the roach herself, and offered me a discount on my shrimp and grits. She also told me they've been battling roaches because the business next door had them and that they've been placing traps behind all of the coolers. Hearing that while trying to eat completely ruined my appetite. To make matters worse, I watched cooks come out of the restroom still wearing their aprons, which is a major food safety concern. Every time the kitchen doors opened, I could see into the kitchen, and I never saw anyone wearing gloves while handling food. Between the employee being yelled at until she cried, the roach on our table, the manager discussing an ongoing roach problem, and the food safety concerns, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I won't be returning.

I used to eat Subway all the time but just stopped going the last few years. I decided to give them…read moreanother shot with my kids and I gotta say it's still really good. There's plenty of competition for a good sandwich shop these days but what Subway has always excelled at is quick subs with just as about as much as you want on it. You like olives? Ask for extra. You like peppers? Get extra. You like pickles? You know where i'm going with this... Just tell them you want extra and that sucker will be looking absolutely decked by the time they're done with it and you don't get an up charge for most of these toppings. It will fill you up! The people making our food were really nice and patient with my kids being undecisive. I got the footlong Outlaw sub which is kinda like the Philly Cheesesteak but some different flavors on it. I'd highly recommend it if you like the philly. I added lots of jalapenos to spice it up, great choice. My wife got the Club as she usually does and had zero complaints. My 6 year old son order a foot long meatball sub and ate almost the whole thing. I was thoroughly impressed and had a proud dad moment. We fed to whole family for around $25 using a coupon deal and getting waters. Really a good deal for going out to eat these days. We should be back!

Stopped in with a friend early on a Sunday, door was opened for us by one of the employees, and a big friendly welcome. Looked promising. Hostess wanted my friend's name and phone number, as if we needed to be put on a waiting list. Place wasn't even half full, and apparently she was going to make us wait, because the server that opened the door told her, "that's ok, I'll seat them", and he was the one to take us to our table. Not sure if he was a server, or a busser. No greeting after he greeted us, hostess didn't even look up from her papers when talking to us. Service was slower that other First Watch places, and the server had to be reminded about drinks ordered. Overall, watching other tables being served, the vibe was off from other locations - not a lot of smiling or movement with purpose - got the impression that most could've cared less if we were there or not. Don't expect my butt kissed, but at least would like to feel welcome. Pay at the table wasn't an option, and the server only got motivated when she dropped off a QR comment card, and basically fished for a good rating, as "we're having a competition, and my birthday's coming up". Weird. First time I've been solicited for compliments like that. When we left, 2-3 employees at the hostess station, ignored us again, no, "thanks", "come again", "have a nice day", don't even think they noticed us leaving. I was embarrassed to have recommended this as our breakfast stop, my friend agreed the food and coffee was good, but the whole experience put this in the "never again visit" category.
