Black Walnut Cafe Austin Commons

I enjoyed by first visit. Cafe style, order at the register, with a full bar with pub style seating. Really enjoyed my chicken and waffles. While each item was average when tasted seperately, when combined everything complimented each other very well. We also had a burger and fries at the table. Burger meat was average, but homestyle pickes, and thick cut fries were good. I liked the relaxed atmosphere without the rushed feeling that can come with sitting around too long at a table with table service. I plan to go back to try the desserts and mixed drinks.

Amazing food! Best bleu cheese burger and sweet potato fries. And hot sauce and guacamole. Nice atmosphere too. Try it. The general manager, Jon, gave us great recommendations and was very helpful.

Excellent!! Excellent presentation AND taste! The French dip was the best I have ever had and the sweet potato French fries were fantastic. Service was friendly and the general manager Jon Palmer was very helpful with menu selection. Our while party was pleased with their food. Highly recommend!<br/

I went into Black Walnut Cafe for breakfast. What a wonderful place. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with Cheesy Grits, a Bacon and Cheddar Kolache and a Caramel Macchiato. My daughter had the Chicken and Waffles, Ham and Mozzarella Kolache and White Chocolate Mocha. The food was delicious! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Being our first time there they told us exactly where to go and what to do. I will be back.

Andre took our order and was very friendly and helpful. Our food, however, was an unfortunate experience. One dish was overcooked and the other was both over and under cooked simultaneously. This was quite a different experience from our last visit several months ago. We specifically came back for the Asian Nachos, because they were so damn good last time and were disappointed with the quality and presentation comparatively. Danielle made absolutely sure we were happy with our experience before we left, though (thanks Danielle, you're the best! It seems they're going through some sort of transition, so I'm hopeful when I give them another shot, it won't be a let down.
