A charming harbinger of the American Spirit, Blake's Cafe is a delightful small town diner I'd never miss while passing through McQueeney. The food was exactly what you'd expect from a homestyle cafe. My wife and I ordered fried catfish, which was perfectly seasoned and breaded, as well as a BBQ mac burger, cooked just right and rich with cheese. Our server was attentive and as sweet as can be all smiles and happy to help. As pass through Blake's Cafe is worth a detour of the main roads and we will be coming back!

Such a cute little place. My coworker and I stopped on our way back to Kansas for lunch. Yoni was our waitress and she was phenomenal. Extremely sweet and very attentive. Will definitely come back if we are out this way again. Thanks for an awesome meal.

On my way home found this Cafe and it did not disappoint one bit. Had the onion rings as an appetizer and the batter was light and crisp. The chicken fried steak was amazing, the batter was also light, crisp, and so delicious. The lemon meringue pie OMG, ITS A MUST GET!!! just going to leave it at that. The gentleman that was waiting our table provided excellent service and probably was one of the most respectful waiters I've ever had. Almost forgot, their sweet tea was on point. Stop on by at Blake's Cafe if you're ever in the area.

A dear friend brought me to Blake's to celebrate my birthday. I had the chicken fried steak sandwich with a side of fried zucchini. Both were very tasty. The atmosphere is pleasant, and our server was very attentive. We were there during lunchtime and it was not crowded. I would highly recommend Blake's. My friend tells me it is her and her husband's go-to place when they choose to go out to eat. I'm sure I will go again.

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

First off, I loved the atmosphere. Im the type to choose a mom and pop place over a chain and I'm not one to be bothered by the state of the building. I've personally found a few 'hole in the wall' places that are better than any chain and this is definitely one of them. The old school decorations mixed with some what appear to be newer renovations had me at the get go. The food was great. I had fried mushrooms and a pulled pork sammich with fries and was in no way disappointed. The servers were friendly and appeared to have each other's backs when I came to helping customers with requests so that was a big thing I liked. I made sure to take some pics of the food and a couple of the restaurant so people can get a good feel of what to expect if they stop by. If I'm ever in the area I'll definitely make a point to stop back!
