Black Walnut Cafe

Friendly and nice restaurant. I planned to just grab a coffee and I couldn’t leave when I saw lobster Benedict with only $17 on menu. I ordered it and gelato and mimosa. They were ready in just a few minutes. Lobster Benedict was a little bit cool but still very delicious. Gelato was really fruity and light, which just offset the heavy sauce on Benedict. Not a alcohol fan so I didn’t know if they are good or bad.

I got a mimosa flight (strawberry was the best), chicken tortilla soup (wow) and chicken & waffles! (Omg) Everything was delicious! This was my second time going, but it was my first time at this location, and they did nit disappoint! I will definitely be back soon because I need to try their queso.

Originally tried to come here on a Sunday late morning and it was packed! The line was too long so we decided to wait until a different day. This time went on a Saturday early morning and got in right away!!

There is plenty of seating in the restaurant and the servers are very attentive to your needs. Note that, while this is a sit down restaurant, you must first order at the cash register then take a seat.

There were plenty of breakfast options to choose from. I got the Avocado Bacon Benedict and also got to try the Bacon Jam Cheeseburger Benedict and French Toast. The servers, having heard it was our first time at the Cafe, surprised us with a free French Toast to split with our group. It was delicious! There was a hint of citrus in the French toast which made it stand out from other French toasts. The Avocado Bacon Benedict was a great combo of flavors, and their homemade hollandaise is superb. The Bacon Jam Cheeseburger I didn't enjoy as much but the bacon jam was something cool to try.

The desserts they had displayed in the front looked amazing, however I didn't get to try any of them. Additionally I noticed they had options for milkshakes- both regular and alcoholic. I only wish they had a dessert menu so I could have looked at the prices.

Overall, a good breakfast place to visit, I just recommend going early since this place seems to be popular!

Our very first time and certainly not the last one, it as a great breakfast and awesome service!

Great place excellent attention and customer service. Definitely a great place to dine in.

Always a good spot to hang out. Great food. They have some good vegetarian classics if you have someone in your party of this diet. It's got a good atmosphere for a pay at the counter style restaurant. I always enjoy the food. They are a hair overpriced, and the starting tip suggestion is 18% for a place without table service...That stuff kinda burns me that they even bring it up, though I can't fault them in the food, so I let it go.

Spacious, Beautiful and Awesome place. This concept is new to me as I’m only visiting Katy for the first time since 1989. I love Texas and miss it for all the reasons I really enjoyed Black Walnut. Upon entering it’s easy to see that a Texas sized “ Big-Hat-Have-Cattle “party could happen here any morning . 🎉🎉 Well appointed for a sophisticated breakfast without pretenses. It’s easy to order, pay, then choose a seat. I enjoyed a yummy Texas Pecan coffee while we waited. So good that I had a second cup after breakfast to linger and enjoy the ambiance. My husband’s a tea drinker and he was pleased too. The food came out fresh and expedited. The quality of the eggs were fresh. The nice choice of vegetables in my omelette were cooked perfectly. The bacon: yummy. The Pico de Gallo —authentic Texas. Woohoo!!!Since my diet requires me to stay off carbs and dairy I really enjoyed the heartiness/ healthy fresh. The menu has choices for my vegan and vegetarian friends too. Our server who brought the food was kind and attentive and always made sure to check up on how we were doing and the quality of the food. As soon as they saw we were finished they came to remove our plates. Since you pay up front, the lingering is your choice and not on a staff shortage. That’s totally 5 star nice. The cafe was busy with people, and the atmosphere happy. Definitely the perfect place to go if you’re looking for a healthy, refreshing breakfast/brunch. Alcohol choices look top shelf. This was an unplanned stop coming back from Moab, UT and it totally made our day enjoyable why we waited for repairs to proceed home to Sarasota. Love ❤ you Texas, thank you for making us smile 🤩😍😍😍😍

Great food, healthy options as well cheat day treats. The coconut shrimp w/sweet potato fries is a favorite. This restaurant has a fabulous brunch menu as well.

This is my go-to place for any and every occasion! We usually enjoy the dining rooms for family meals. For date nights or just sitting solo I prefer the bar with more personalized service. Abagail makes a great margarita and espresso martini! I enjoy stopping in just for a drink & dessert.

Beautiful presentation and flavorful! If I had to describe the food and service with only one word it would be "Exquisite"

Oscar gave us all exceptional service and helped me figure out what entree to order as this was my first time here. I had the Asian Glazed Atlantic Salmon and I was not disappointed.

Fine dining with a relaxing atmosphere.

Service was great and efficient. We was greeted by a gentleman who assigned us a table. Staffs were nice and friendly. We mentioned to the manager that we were celebrating a birthday and she surprised us with strawberry cream cake . It was delicious.

We had an amazing experience at Black Walnut Cafe. The food was outstanding, with each dish perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The staff, led by the remarkable manager, provided exceptional service, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Highly recommend for a top-notch breakfast experience!

I love the self seating and ordering format. The decor was so pretty and felt upscale even though their prices are quite reasonable. The food was all delicious. Bathrooms were impeccable. We will definitely be returning.

I'm a recently diagnosed diabetic. I am still learning what I can or can not eat

The team here went OUT OF THEIR WAY to ensure my meal was safe, good, and to order. And it was all of the above.

I wish i could remember the name of the lady at the counter who was a big help in ordering, but Doug the manager deserves a call out as well for going the distance in customer service.

Amazing experience and great food.

I usually come for the eggs Benedict but decided to try something different. What a great decision. The chorizo and egg tacos were delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised at the portion size given. It’s enough for two people, but, lol, greedy me at them both. The potatoes were a good compliment and the sauce was super tasty—kind of earthy and not overly salty. Good choice.

Great experience for my first time. The hostess was very helpful with the menu and gave great suggestions. The mimosa flight was a wonderful suggestion as it come in different flavors. Definitely a place to try!

I usually don't do 5 star but this place is a hidden gem. Had breakfast with the wife and it was awesome. From the food to the service. Will make this a weekly Saturday morning routine with the wife. Excellent job to all at this establishment.

Love Black Walnut! But I’ve never been there for dinner-always breakfast. We had the Turkey club on a croissant with fries. The fries are now my favorite from anywhere and the club was generous. Prices were moderate and the service was good. We’ll definitely be back for breakfast and dinner!! ❤❤❤

What a unique little place. We stopped in for some brunch and man how delicious! I had meatballs as an appetizer, Texas fried steak and a boozy milkshake! Delicious 😋! The place was super clean and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommended!

Excellent customer service interaction. Feom the sales clerk to our waitress, had a terrific experience. Very polite, hospitable.& customer friendly. Our food all came out at once, hot, and delicious. Pleasantly satisfied by the savoriness of the food. Reals eggs used which was definitely a plus. The waffle was nice fluffy and fresh. The chicken fingers did have a slight sweat taste to the breading which I was not a fan on but other than that, still the chicken Was moist and tasty. The shrimp was good and the sauce was out of this world good.
