Bluebonnet Cafe — Restaurant in Haltom City

0 out of 10, wouldn’t recommend. No idea what the hype was all about. I had been looking forward to trying this place because of the reviews. Now i’m left wondering how much marketing money they spend on the good reviews.

We ordered a breakfast chicken fried steak, lunch chicken fried steak and a pancake kids meal. Everything arrived at the table cold.

Let’s start with the sides. The “ranch” potatoes and french fries were greasy and had NO seasoning, not even salt. The fried okra was wet with grease and no seasoning. The scrambled eggs could not be real with how fake and rubbery they were, and surprise..no flavor. The biscuits we did not even get a chance to try but the 2.50 for side gravy was also..bland. The pancakes were thin and very similar to the freezer ones that you heat up in the microwave. I’ve save the best for last…the flavorless chicken fried “steak”. It was more of a mystery meat that had uncooked pink polkadots. (Not even sure how you get that inconsistency in cooking meat.) “It”must have been dipped in wet flour and fried in old grease.

We had a taste of our sides and only took one bite of the CFS’s and decided that we were not going to continue to eat the food that was served. We politely (kinda even embarrassed) told the server about how the food was not edible and she acted shocked but a bit annoyed. We got referred to the cashier, who was also the owner. She was not very receptive, I explained the situation and she looked at us like we were crazy, and said that’s impossible because nobody ever complains about the food. (The reviews here say otherwise, but let’s continue.) She asked what we had ate some of and began to add up the à la cart pricing for EACH item. At the end, we got charged with what we could manage to eat. A slice of bacon, an egg, a small salad and a coffee. We were charged 21 dollars and no apology.

Yes, the I Love Lucy collection was worth a few pictures but...

I will start on a positive note. The food was very delicious, the atmosphere was very very cute, and the food came out incredibly fast and hot. Now the negative. We felt rushed. We sat down and our drink order was taken immediately (which we definitely do appreciate that’s not the negative) but then the waitress expected us to have our food order ready before we even opened the menu. It was our first time there so we didn’t have an idea of what we wanted. The waitress came back once to check on us after we got our food which again we appreciate. But we felt rushed to leave, we also noticed every other table but ours was offered drinks to go. We were handed the receipt and told where to pay. When we went to pay the cashier was talking to other employees while holding onto my card before running it. We also didn’t love that we were loudly asked if we wanted to leave a tip on the card and how much of a tip. I personally prefer to tip without being asked how much, I like to put that in quietly on my own and I usually tip more than 30% for good service, but I don’t want to be saying in front of several other people how much of a tip I want to leave. It made me feel very pressured and uncomfortable. As much as we loved the food and the atmosphere of the cafe we don’t see ourselves coming back because of the...
