    I went last week & it's super cute, the guy is cool, and the food is on point-the fresh cut fries are so awesome & I air fried the leftovers from my 1/2 order (huge) & Unfortunately, I ate it before I even got home so I cannot provide pic of food but it was Definitely will be a repeat @ this place

    This is authentic Chicago Style favorites in Texas. The owner is a former Chicagoan who grew up working at Fluky's (IYKYK) and eating at every great food place. That comes through in the menu. All the Chicago flavors with the real suppliers. So if you are hungering for a true Italian beef or Chicago style dog or even a pizza puff and francheezie. This is your stop. Not reachable by the Red Line. But sure tastes like it.

    Great food!! The place was very clean, well organized, and decorated! We will be back! Great friendly service!!

    Chicago style

    Wife and I got the original Chicago style hotdog and coach ditka sausage and they were both amazing. Highly recommend getting it sliced and grill the bun.

    What a cool local spot with a Chicago feel. I had an Italian beef(sandwich) and my daughter had the chili dog. They were super tasty.

    A warning: If you eat Weinerschnitzel in Vienna, you will be ruined for life on most of the…read moreversions you find elsewhere. But I was stupid, and hungry, and ordered what looked like the specialty of the house at Eve's Café. In fact, it looked like what they called a Wienerschnitzel was the basis for all sorts of schnitzel variations with different toppings and gravy. That should've been an extra warning for me. To be fair, the description on the menu said that what you would get was a pork chop, and that is what I got. It was a little bit tough, which I suspected in advance, watching the people at the next table, sewing on theirs. The breading was weird in a way that's hard to describe. It was somewhat over-seasoned, a little bit hard, and left an aftertaste that was slightly chemical. An even worse sin by Texas standards, it was small, as in the recommended meat portion size for healthy eating, about the size of my hand, minus the fingers. My side of onion rings had the same breading. And even though I am generally a gravy hog, I didn't especially care for the brown gravy that came with my meal. The German dill salad probably had some dill in it somewhere, but it was all drowned in so much mayonnaise-based dressing, I couldn't really taste it, and the whole thing turned into soup before I finished. This all really sounds terrible, but it wasn't actually terrible. I ate all of it except for the soupy salad, but it just never rose beyond competent, when I had gotten my hopes up for some good German food. As I looked around at what others were eating, I really wished I had ordered one of the fabulous-looking sandwiches, burgers, or bratwurst. Those are harder to mess up. The restaurant itself has a nice location on the Square in Lampasas, and a charming vibe. The Thursday lunch crowd was good sized so it looks like a popular local place. The service was very friendly and pretty quick--maybe little TOO quick, as if my schnitzel might've been waiting for me under a heat lamp. Once I'd finished, I was still a little hungry, and considered ordering a slice of their Black Forest Cake. But I have had Black Forest Cake in Bavaria, and I simply couldn't bear another disappointment.

    So this place was recommended, so I had to go. The restaurant is a small establishment, with…read morewonderful vibes. The inside was old fashioned, kind of a western twist. Any ways the waiters was friendly and welcoming. She took our oder quickly and brought us libations. The food looked good and tasted outstanding! The meat was soft and the brown gravy was on point. Furthermore the restrooms are super clean and roomy. Looks like there is only one cook, it might take a minute for your order but worth waiting for. Stay hungry my friends!

I felt like we intruded on these ladies lunches! I'm looking all over for a menu and finally ask the girl behind the counter and she pulls a menu out. I'm was so confused as to why they don't just keep them out. The next thing that got me is that there weren't prices on the menu. We ordered 2 pulled pork and 1 chicken salad and it was about $38. The girl behind the counter was very sweet and accommodating, especially for my picky kids. My kids love pulled pork and they said this was okay but they preferred grandpa's. It did look a little dry but my husband said it was okay. My chicken salad sandwich was dry as well. The potato salad was really good though!!! They both could have used a little more seasoning. Thankfully there was salt on the table. Now for the star of the show... the pickles!!! I'm the only real pickle eater and I thought they were really good... enough so that I bought a big container. It was a little odd because the pickles on my plate were different textures. My husband actually noted the same thing. We went back and got a Dr Pepper cake. It was moist and had an interesting flavor. I don't think I would have guessed DP if I hadn't known it before.

The menu said penne pasta, but what arrived was a different pasta shape, rigatoni maybe, that actually worked better. The sauce filled the pasta, so every bite had plenty of flavor. The salmon was cooked nicely with a crisp exterior that added great texture to the dish. My husband ordered the shrimp po'boy, and unfortunately his experience wasn't as positive. The first sandwich had to be sent back because the shrimp were so overcooked they had the texture of chicharrones. The staff quickly remade it, but the second sandwich was only slightly better. Part of the issue seemed to be the size of the shrimp. They were quite small, which makes them much easier to overcook. Considering this is a seafood and steakhouse restaurant, we were surprised by the size and quality of the shrimp. That said, both our waiter and the manager were very kind and responsive when addressing the issue. We chose not to send the sandwich back a second time, and my husband simply didn't finish his meal. The iced tea was delicious. They prepare it tableside using something similar to a coffee press, which made it taste especially fresh. And the view? Excellent as always.

    I am 56 years old, and I haven't been to Blue Bonnet Cafe since I was probably 11 or 12. Maybe even…read moreyounger. But I REMEMBER Blue Bonnet Cafe. I remember this little cafe in Marble Falls known for its homemade pies. My grandfather loved stopping here, and sometimes he'd bring pies all the way back to West Texas for us. Oh, how we loved those pies. So we're talking about more than 40 years of nostalgia wrapped up in this place for me. When I recently had the opportunity to make the drive back to Marble Falls, I was genuinely excited. I couldn't wait to sit down at Blue Bonnet again, have a chicken fried steak and, most importantly, get my hands on that PIE. And I'll give credit where it's due. I ordered the chicken fried steak plate, and the chicken fried steak was just as good as I remembered it. Crispy, tender, comforting -- exactly the kind of old-school Texas cafe food I'd been hoping for. The gravy, after adding in some salt and lots of pepper was creamy and perfect. The sides? Well... The green beans tasted canned, and I'm pretty sure those mashed potatoes were the red-skinned powdered variety you can buy at Costco. You know what? I was fine with it. It is what it is. The meal was still pretty darn good, and none of that was why I'd driven back after all these years anyway. I WAS HERE FOR THE PIE. After we ate, I ordered a slice of fudge and a slice of lemon meringue to take home and share. Later, I opened the container. And my smile fell. What in the SCHOOL CAFETERIA had been put into this Styrofoam container and peddled off as Blue Bonnet Cafe lemon meringue pie?! This was not the pie I remembered. The lemon filling was this unnaturally yellow, gelatinous drudge. The crust didn't taste remotely like a made-from-scratch pie crust. And that beautiful homemade meringue I remembered, piled up and lovingly browned on top? Gone. Surely the fudge pie would save this childhood reunion. It did not. Another cheap, flavorless crust with some sort of fudge-like concoction filling it. And THAT is when this stopped being about whether I liked a couple slices of pie. I had carried a memory of Blue Bonnet Cafe around with me for more than four decades. A little cafe, my grandfather bringing pies home to West Texas, and all of us being so excited when he did. Those memories are still wonderful. I just wish the pies I'd brought home this time bore some resemblance to them. Blue Bonnet Cafe, you gave a promise to me... And you broke it. You broke it. My heart -- and my nostalgic little pie-loving heart -- will never be the same.
