    chipotle chicken sandwich, sweet potato fries and side salad
    Donna Michelle T.

    This was the best place!!! Fans outside help with the heat, and the food was so delicious! You can't go wrong here!

    Service was amazing and food was good! Outdoor seating was cute. I would definitely go back.

    Ok, I'm from the Metroplex with family in East Texas. We wanted to eat somewhere new in Longview and saw the pictures and quality reviews of this place. Well, what I wasn't expecting was that the bistro was attached to a gas station. I thought it was a joke, but no, this shares a building with a gas station. But once we were seated, we decided to eat outside, which is in the south end of the building in former parking spots. However the view was quite nice. The bistro does a good job with the decor. It was all a little surreal, but I loved it. It's totally "East Texas" to have a bistro here. But you're not reading this for a review of the ambiance, you want to know about the food. Let me tell you, this place can compete with ANY restaurant in the DFW metroplex. It was delicious! The food options were amazing and the presentation of the food was wonderful. It was a delightful surprise. The flavors were spectacular, and the cost was reasonable. Once you extend your thoughts beyond the placement of this restaurant, and focus on the taste of the food, you will be transported to probably the best food in all of Longview, and East Texas. Well done!

    Brunch special: Shakshuka

    Everything was wonderful! Service quick and checked on how we were regularly, refills appropriately. Also, I couldn't decide between two sauce options for my dish, so she offered both on the side!

    Cuban Sandwich

    I was not expecting this bistro to be connected to a convenience store. I used Yelp to locate a lunch spot near me. Although it was June in Texas....95 degrees... I chose to sit outside on the patio. The ceiling fans made it very pleasant. There were two menus because it was Taco Tuesday. I liked that there were just a few selections but it was still hard to decide because I wanted to try everything. The food was delicious. My waitress was excelling and very attentive. I was the only person on the patio and not for sure if anyone was eating inside. It seemed like people were ordering to go a lot or maybe Door Dash delivery. Can't wait to return and bring someone with me. Great lunch date spot.

    Service, atmosphere, menu.... So excited that Longview has this place. Great for brunch or date night. Highly recommend!

    Hangover chicken sandwich with truffle fries
    Rachel O.

    A very unique and interesting place to eat! We were driving through and decided to give it a try; was hoping for lunch but definitely not disappointed with their brunch! The Nashville hot chicken was the highlight and had such an awesome crispy breading with tender juicy chicken on the inside. Paired perfectly with the unique cheese waffle as well as perfect for the chicken sandwich (which normally comes with a fried egg). The truffle fries had awesome flavor but could have been a little crispier. If you are ever passing through give it a try, definitely would try it again if I had the chance.

    Chicken and Waffles
    Crystal R.

    This is chicken and waffles done right!! The chicken is juicy, crispy, and spicy, and paired with a cheddar cheese waffle and maple syrup. I opted for no slaw. It's the perfect mix of savory, sweet, and spicy. No frozen chicken strips here! By far, the best chicken and waffles in Longview!

    Cargo - Kids pizza and fries

    Cargo

    We have been to Cargo a few times. The food is good. Love listening to live music!! Kate, our…read moreserver, is always awesome. We did recently go to hear live music and was moved inside due to weather. We joined some friends at their table which made 10 total. PSA, when you go to Cargo with a party of 10 or more they charge a 20% "autograt" which is for busboys and other staff. That gratuity does not include the server. This was verify by management. When paying out, it's on a small computer screen that shows subtotal and different options for tipping. They do not give an itemized ticket. We asked for a ticket to make sure we were charged for what we ordered. That's when we noticed the "autograt". They also will not give a receipt after payment. We asked for one and was told but management they can't give us one. So depending on your server tip add the extra 20% for the "autograt". If you tip the server 20% your tip for the whole ticket is 40%.

    I went to Cargo because it was a nice day and I wanted a meal outside with my family, where the…read morekids could have stuff to do. When we arrived we walked through the gate to no idea what to do. No idea if we were to seat ourselves and no host station to provide guidance on the matter. As I stood there lost, I noticed QR codes placed on the end of the tables and noticed someone else walk straight in and to a table. Assuming that I was to seat myself, I continued on to the table, sat down, and scanned the code. Once in the menu, I ordered the food and drinks we wanted and began the long wait. During this wait I was looking around periodically trying to see if maybe we had done this wrong, but no servers were coming to the surrounding tables that had people seated. Immediately I believed this must be a place you order, they bring it, and then you order again if you need more (more hands off). As my kid ran off to play in the kids area, someone finally passed by (35 minutes in) and asked if we had been helped. I explained we had utilized the QR code to order and was informed it was no longer in use, due to orders being submitted incomplete. The server checked the system, verified the order (which was missing items), and eventually said he would get it in for us. After about another 15 minutes we finally had our drinks (mostly). One of the drinks required some mixing, but we got the first half, followed by the second half a while later. Now that I can add bartender at Cargo to my résumé, I went back to waiting on the food and watching the large screen on the stage. After about an hour of being seated, our food arrived (prior to the appetizer) and was pretty cold. The fries were cold on the outside but more so on the inside. The macaroni and cheese was cold to the touch, and even the pizza was cold. It seemed as though the food maybe was sat in the same area code as a heat lamp, but not directly under it. I informed the server (different from the one that initially arrived before disappearing like a cheap Houdini act) that our appetizer was missing. She politely apologized and retrieved a cold appetizer from the kitchen, explaining it was set aside for another table (kind of understandable). This likely could have been addressed if there was continuity with the server, but I suppose he had traveled to tend the tables he has in one of the other Cargo multi-verses. I explained that we did not have a silverware or napkins (somewhat necessary for macaroni and cheese) she said she would get us some. Much like the embassy in Benghazi when under attack, we were left without assistance so we had to take action ourself. I walked to the building, found someone that resembled what I believed to be the Captain of the restaurant version of the Edmond Fitzgerald, and explained I needed to-go boxes and wanted to pay for the worst dining experience I've had since deploying to Afghanistan. The manager was actually very polite and was helpful and apologetic about the experience. He tried to comp the meal, but I explained that I just wanted to take it home and heat it up so I could eat. We eventually paid and experienced the best part of the restaurant...leaving. It should be noted that there were other patrons present, but it was only maybe at about 50% full. I Will say that upon meeting our server, he explained that he was blessed, which makes me happy to know someone was. Overall, unless I have a hankering for mediocrity in service and cold food, I do not believe l'll be returning. If I want to pay money to have cold food and let the kids play, I'll just go experience the torture that is chuck-e-cheese.
