    They brought back the shrimp cakes Beni which is one of my favorites and the only thing I order. The eggs were over cooked and not a lot of sauce on top of my eggs. I thought maybe it was just an error. But this happened two weekends in a row. The eggs were over cooked and boiled. Service is always great. We do enjoy the homey feeling when at rooted folk.

    [Update: 12/07/2025] Another fantastic brunch at Rooted Fork. I was greeted by the pleasant, diligent staff member Kaylee, who was both friendly and very accommodating. She knew the menu well and recommended great options based on what I like. After I ordered, she checked in to make sure everything was to my liking and, without me even asking, brought over boxes and a bag for leftovers. I laughed and told her, "You read my mind!" Food-wise, I highly recommend the Steak Hash (hold the salsa verde if you are spice-sensitive like me) and the white chocolate latte. Bravo to Kaylee for her hard work, professionalism, and bright smile. Keep up the amazing work, Kaylee and Rooted Fork!

    Great food. Great prices. Friendly staff. You order at the counter. They give you a number. You find your seat. They bring out your food. They have inside and outside seating. There is a drink station. They give you your mug with coffee that the counter, but you can get refills at the drink station I ordered the sesame ginger salad. It came with shrimp and avocado. The salad was so good. It did get kind of spicy towards the end due to the ginger, but definitely a great choice. It was big and the salad had enough shrimp. The salad was not drowned in the dressing. It had just enough of the dressing. Parking is available on site.

    On this adventure, I find myself in Cibola at the "Rooted Fork". I try not to be overly critical about a place but this restaurant has nothing to worry about. Because the breakfast they served was by far one of the best, the flavor was delicious, the presentation was excellent. But let's start from the beginning, the restaurant is situated in an older home and that character gives this place an inviting warmth. As you walk in you see the menu above the counter and a good amount of seating. The person behind the counter was very helpful and answered all questions about the menu. The item I chose was the "Steakhouse Forky" and that was absolutely delicious. The steak was wonderfully prepared it was probably one of the best breakfast I've had in a while, the cheese and various vegetables mixed in were a delicious combination and it paired wonderfully with the tater tots. I accompanied my meal with a cup of coffee and it too was skillfully prepared, good aroma and taste. Overall this place is very good. The people that keep this place going were wonderful and cordial, bringing the right amount of coffee and all with a wonderful atmosphere.

    I normally enjoy a great meal at The Rooted Fork but not so much today. My GFs Cobb Salad had wilted Lettuce which was not chopped. My Turkey Bacon Ranch had tomato slices from the end of a tomato, Turkey was neither seasoned or roasted, the bacon was not crisp and the chips were stale. Better luck next time. NOTE : To Rooted Forks credit, they did offer to make a sandwich to go.

    The food was plentiful and served hot! The wait staff was out making sure service, once the food was served, was just as hardy and very reasonable priced. The resturant in in a converted house with inside and outside seating on the deck and in the front yard. Cibola TX historical presence is that it is the end of the traill for buffalo. The resturant is within walking distance of Old downtown!

    Right out of the gate a turn off. Menu states upcharge on all non cash purchases. (.50). Entrees are basic breakfast fare: Eggs, "protiens", potatoes, etc. Anything you add is a $4.00 upcharge to the entree. Cup of coffee $3.64 Walk-up service, indoor and outdoor seating. No waitstaff, just kitchen and bussing staff. Food prep protocols and cleanliness are marginal. Sticky tables, dirty condiment bottles, empty salt and pepper shakers. Food: Arrived hot, good portions, about a 15 min return from order. Tasty, thank goodness. Patrons are mostly young and military families with kids when we were there. Music is lo-fi rap inside. Inside dining on a Sat is peppered with exuberant young children. So go early or later or opt for the front lawn dining tables. 2 people , coffee and entrees. No opt out on a demanded tip at the register that was EASILY visible. $53.09 FOR BREAKFAST. That's our one meal out for the weekend, within a budget. Stop in, judge for yourselves. Bring cash.

    One of the best things about Cibolo! The Rooted Fork is the city's favorite brunch spot. The pancakes are great and we love their breakfast nacho place. But have you heard? They are now open for dinner! I had their chicken fried steak, and it was fantastic! The restaurant is seat yourself. There's plenty of room inside and they have really nice patio and lawn seating as well.

    This is a great breakfast place in Cibolo. We come here once in a while to eat breakfast. I always have the eggs Beni.

    Some GOODNESS

    Not many options in Cibolo. But I'll have to venture out a bit more before going back here. The breakfast menu is a lot of the same thing. I hate it when places don't have a diverse choice of breakfast meats. They up charge for chicken. And it was too dang bland. They got the order wrong when it came out. Even though they read it back correctly at the register. The waiters knew something was wrong because when I got up to leave 90% of my food was still on the table. The people were nice. The food just was not.

    Steak Omlette
    Forest B.

    What a great find for breakfast and brunch! We placed our order with the friendly staff inside the restaurant before choosing one of the many inside- or outside- tables. The concept is very smart as a manageable number of basic ingrediants are combined to produce attractive, delicious dishes. I had the steak omlette. It came with a side of hash browns and was covered in a nice salsa verde. My son had the steak hash. We marveled at the similarities in the ingredients and the chef's ability to make delicious dishes.

    Food was great & hot. We didn't have to wait long for our order. We went there for brunch. Our waitress was nice & attentive. We sat out by the patio area & listened to the birds chirping. I'm sad they no longer have the smoked salmon toast. But they have a good menu.

I parked under a tree & entered around the corner. Lots of pastry selections with coffee selections as well. I took my time as a lot looked yummy. I chose a savory pizza bread which had the choice of Pepperoni or just cheese. I chose the Pepperoni. Saw a Cruffin so I asked the clerk what it was filled with & she said Strawberry. Chose that & a featured Lavender VaLatte with Oat Milk. The clerk put the pastries on an aluminum tray lined with a wax paper sheet but I had her bag my Cruffin. She proceeded to make my Lavender Latte & I saw her pouring regular whole milk in the frother so I asked if that was Oatmilk & she stopped herself & said "No it's not. Sorry, I didn't write the order down" or something to that effect. I sat down by the one soda while she made my drink which was smooth & subtly lavender. The pizza bread didn't have a chewy bread texture and was soft. My friend arrived and ordered a large Americano, a Cruffin, Tart -pastel de nata & savory tomato/cheese pizza twist Danish pastry. She loved the pastel de nata as it reminded her of Portuguese tarts. We sat on the wooden tables with benched seating & chairs. The sofas are soft but one fabric chair had stains on it. There are other small tables & barstools with counter seating. Nice natural light flows in. Bathrooms were clean & additional seating was outside on a deck. I could see a nice party outside except the train runs across the street so that could be an issue as they blow their horns coming thru. They sell merch & preserved jellies & honey too.

And to my surprise I find this place called "Brew K Cafe", the term hidden gem doesn't do it justice, this place in my opinion offers one of the best coffee I've had in a long time. They offer coffee, some meat items, bubble tea, lemonades among other items. Upon entering the establishment you see a good amount of seating for the size of the place, you are kindly greeted by the people behind the counter which usually are the proprietors of the restaurant. On this episode I got a "Dolce Iced Coffee", I kid you not it was one of my favorites. If you find yourself near Cibolo and you have a craving for something unique you have to give Brew K Cafe a try. I highly recommend this place.

Also, this shop is smaller with limited seating. I think the high school across the street visits at lunch time, so it gets packed quickly. You might want to go earlier or later for lunch.
