Have been waiting to go here since we moved to central Texas back in 2008. My family and I finally got a chance to go... The food and pie was at best mediocre. Total let down. Word of advice, salt your food yall!!

Blue Bonnet Cafe has been around for around 100 years - and with good reason. The second you walk in, you are transported back to the better days- sassy (but kind) waitresses, a beautiful pie display, and locals chomping on their biscuits and creamy gravy. The pancakes were fantastic, but I particularly loved, loved, loved the pillowy-tender biscuits. (You get TWO as a side with your eggs!)
This is a perfectly no-frills and very memorable breakfast stop. We came on a Saturday morning and almost every table was filled, but we lucked out by not having to wait.

Country cooking at its best! If you are in the mood for feel good, rich food, then this is your place. Big biscuits, Texas size toast, amazing omelettes, and the best pie around. ( lemon meringue is my favorite) But this cinnamon roll, this is the bomb! The wait staff is awesome , and the wait time is so quick!

Breakfast was delicious. My omelet was packed with meat and very tasty. My wife had the chicken fried chicken. She loved her lunch, however the star is a usual their pies. Chocolate and banana cream were the choices today and they didn't disappoint. Our server was very nice and helpful, but was a little scattered keeping up with all her tables. The food was delivered in less than 5 minutes!

I grew up eating here so I may be biased, but I love Blue Bonnet. Brought my college friends in from out of town and they really liked it as well. Expect a line out the door on weekends. My go to is either the Biscuits and Gravy or the Cheese Enchiladas. The biscuits are fluffy and go so well with the pepper gravy. The enchiladas have a delicious brown sauce/gravy that I haven't seen anywhere else. If you get them as a part of the "Mexican dinner" the side taco have a really delicious, juicy beef. The german chocolate pie is delicious, can't say I've ever ordered anything
