The food here was great when they first opened - even after Hubbell and Hudson acquired the business. However, the quality of the food took a dive for a while - now they have a new General Manager. Gen. Manager is incredibly friendly and was on site every time I have returned - which is pretty frequently. The food quality... More

Breakfast: We had an omelet (made to order) along with side of sausage and belgian waffles. We were very happy with this place. A tad pricey, but you can control that with what you get.

I met my wife for lunch and we had a great time at Black Walnut. It was busy but the tables turned over very quickly and the food was delicious. We'll be back!!!

This is one of our family's favorite places to eat in The Woodlands. The atmosphere is relaxed, inviting and cozy. We have a lot of favorite items on the menu. We always get the Southwestern Egg Rolls and I love the Asian Tuna Salad and the New Orleans Noodles. The menu is extensive, so you can surely find something to... More

Me and the hubby love coming here. It is a fair price for what you get. The presentation of the food is great and the taste even better! Last time they were giving away croissant and they were amazing! Can't wait to try everything on the menu!

I have been here 3 times and have loved it every time! Every food item I have ordered has been fantastic and the atmosphere is lovely, especially around the holidays. My favorite thing to order so far is the Black Walnut Lemon Chicken, delicious!!! The parking and seating can get difficult because both are not very big.

We thoroughly enjoyed this informal, relaxed semi-self serve restaurant. While many items at the Black Walnut seemed to suggest breakfast, in fact the portions were generous and filling. The cafe has a lovely outdoor seating area - the only drawback to this restaurant is a lack of parking on sunny days.

I live close by Black Walnut and over the past few years, have went there about every month or so. I have always enjoyed their salads, the atmosphere and had good, consistent service but...I went there this past week with a friend for lunch and was disappointed! We arrived by 11:30 to be ahead of the crowd, was able to... More
