The food here was honestly pretty good! I got the pot roast grilled cheese and it was a perfect pair with the tomato basil soup. The tiramisu gelato was also very good. There was some confusion with the waitstaff about part of our order which required reminding, but overall the staff was accommodating. There is plenty of space and the dining room and patio were clean and inviting. We will be back to try more from the menu. Of note, there is a prix fixe menu available with preselected 3 course options, some of which are not available on the regular menu! Also, the tuxedo cake was to die for!

This is my first time back since the renovation. It definitely has a new (trendier) vibe. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter and they will bring your order to you. Awesome brunch spot, but of course they have breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have a pre-fix menu. Desserts and cocktails as well. For food choices, they have a bit of everything to suit anyone. The food is pretty solid. This could be a spot for anything, date, friends and or family. Food came out fairly quickly and staff checked on us to remove items we were finished with. Free two hour parking in the attached garage, or you can pay to park on the street or lot. Weekends during lunch can be busy, so plan ahead. The village can be hectic, Black Walnut has several other locations if you're looking for easier parking options.

I'll start with service. The service was and usually is always amazing. I love a restaurant that doesn't mind righting a wrong. My steak was overcooked, but they immediately remade it. I'd had other dishes and wouldn't recommend steak and eggs. The grand mimosa however, was the mimosa I never knew I needed. Everyone's pretty chill and some people are even coming from a workout at memorial park. Great little hangout spot to grab some grub.

If I'm honest, the 1st thought that comes to mind when I think of this Black Walnut is that their menu is coming dangerously close to Cheesecake Factory levels of abundance in selection. Salmon or chicken fried steak? You got it. Chicken and waffles with eggs anytime of day? Ofcourse. Top shelf full cocktail menu, paired with loaded milkshakes, burgers, soups, salads, vegan favs or a colossal selection of desserts...why not? Brunch? No problem. And although you order at the counter, I'd say they bridge the gap between fast casual and full service. They're both classy and casual, spacious and intimate, a restaurants of positive contradictions. While I personally have a love hate relationship with this restaurant (particularly the woodlands location) they're certainly a staple to the community, and worth a stop in if you've never been! This particular location has a darling covered patio with fans, and heaters depending on what's needed, and with all of their locations ample seating as well as a variety of seating options to choose from. It's a perfect spot for duos who cannot agree on where to go!

You order when you arrive and the service is very friendly. I loved my Bloody Mary, it was strong and delicious! The chorizo migas tasted great. I loved the addition of feta cheese. The chorizo was a little dry though. I gave it 4 stars because it was a little pricey for what you got. The person I went with was not very happy with her order. I tried some and agreed, it was just ok ( big breakfast plate)

A casual place to meet up with friends for brunch, service is quick, food is consistently good, price is reasonable, and there's a variety of brunch options on the menu. Coffee is great, lots of choices for dessert, they look amazing! You will walk out feeling very satisfied. Noise level is higher, given how busy this place is, but it's not too bad. Order at the counter yourself, the line can be long but it moves fast. I got the "healthier than the rest omelet", it's delicious, filled with cheese and veggies. It's a big oily, but it's as healthy add it can get from a restaurant. Paired with fruit. Very happy with the choice.
