My husband and I attended the @hopeful_acres gala recently. We won a $50 gift certificate to @blakescafemcqueeney. Today, we checked it out for lunch.
We started with their Sweet Chili Wings. Finger licking good! We scarfed down the 8 pieces. 5 stars for the wings. Hubby tried the Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes. They’re supposed to be known for this dish and unfortunately it was chewy so it’s 3 stars. I ordered the Swiss Mushroom Burger with onion rings. The onion rings were great but the burger lacked seasoning. We got Dad the Beer Battered Alaskan Pollock with sweet potato fries. This entree and side was excellent. We brought home leftovers. Mixed review for this staple in McQueeney. Perhaps it was an off day.
The desserts sounded good but we were too full to have any. Would be worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Benjamin was our server and he was absolutely phenomenal. The way he speaks about the menu, ingredients, owners you can tell he is proud to work here. Actually all the servers were amazing.
The food was absolutely delicious. Literally my entire family cleaned our plates we could not stop! I highly recommend the chicken fried steak and burger!
I cannot belive we waited over a year to try this place. We will be regulars from now on!

Haven’t been here in years. Family brought us back. Server was amazing. Food was just sad. Alaskan pollock had soggy spots & liver was burnt to a crisp. Two others had chicken fried steak which were overly salty & chewy. My family informed me they had never had a bad experience before & we’re surprised. We did overhear someone mention other complaints as well. Could be just one of those days.

Blake’s used to be really good but it has gone downhill. We went to eat recently and it was possibly the worst experience I have had there. Ordered the Chicken fried steak and it was mostly breading. The sweet potato fries were pretty good but the overall experience was still poor. Definitely not worth the money.

Blake’s Cafe has such a cute nostalgic look and a charming old school vibe to the building. Unfortunately, my personal experience didn’t live up to the atmosphere. The service was slow and seemingly pretty cold, like the staff didn’t care much about being there or helping customers. It took a long time to get our food, and when it finally came, it was just okay. There was nothing bad, but definitely not something I’d be excited to come back for. It’s a shame because I used to like it here a couple of years ago I’m not sure what’s changed.

Been coming here for 12 years this is the first time all the food was nasty there was 6 of us. My liver was burnt as well as the gravy. Chicken Fried steak which has always been our favorite was too salty and chewy. Green beans were mushy and had no taste. Fish was not cooked all the way. I don’t understand what happened tonight.

We were deciding on where to eat for Valentine’s Day dinner after I got off work and drove out of San Antonio to get away from the crowds. We always love to try new places in search of hidden gems and this is now one for us. My husband’s been here once before and remembered how good it was.
We arrived around 8pm and there were a lot of tables available. The customer service was great, or waiter was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and we thought the price was great and reasonable, especially for Valentine’s Day dinner and not having to wait around for an open table with a 10 year old and a toddler. We’ll definitely be back. We were so stuffed we forgot about dessert and I think that’s what I’ll be ordering first next time we go

Elizabeth was our friendly waitress. The parking lot was so full, we almost left. Plenty of room to eat inside. I ordered the grilled chicken n shrimp. They were very small n shrimp was a little too lemon peppery. Mac n cheese was good, green beans OK. My husband had the sirloin n it was seasoned well. The tea was delicious, but I think it just didn’t set well in our stomachs. We love Blake’s, but will try something new next time. They used to have catch of the day, but I’m saddened that they don’t anymore.
