Bristol Cafe and Catering

Wasn't disappointed. Great atmosphere and food. Attending s wedding from out of town. Found them on yelp. Reviews were spot on. Wish we lived closer

These folks have done a great job with a converted spot. Simple but elegant interior with historical photos of the town. We opened the place on a Sunday morning and we're greeted with a friendly "good morning". The music may have been a tad loud for 9am but that could just be me getting old. I chose the shrimp and grits along with a side of bacon. This was a non traditional dish. The grits were perfect and creamy. Anyone whose dumped grits intro boiling water realizes it takes skill to get these things into a creamy state. Shrimp was perfectly cooked. The bacon was awesome. On the downside, the plastic plate it was served on was a bummer. It just didn't match the wonderful servers, decor and food. Oh well, running a restaurant is hard and these folks do amazing things!

We stopped here on our way through to Lake Norman. What a great find! Everything we ordered was next level delicious. Had a nice talk with Jeff, one of the owners, and heard all about the unique history of the place. Such a great experience! We'll definitely come back if we're in the area again.

This has become my wife (Bonnie) and my go to Sunday brunch place. Love the atmosphere, staff are crazy friendly, and food is A-maxing! But don't tell anyone.

We were in the area and thanks to Google and Yelp for finding this place. It's relatively small but has limited outside seating as well. We were seated promptly and service was pleasant and quick. The menu has some great breakfast options. I opted for the breakfast burrito and got a side of waffles with strawberries and real maple syrup. My wife had a veggie omelette. The food was very fresh and the portion size excellent. The flavor of the burrito was perfect. I wished I lived closer because I would definitely come back. Highly recommended.

Ah, the Bristol Cafe.....The food is always great!I'm a sucker for poached eggs, and they've got some good choices on that: Crab Benedict is fabulous!The offerings are not "gourmet", but it's just plain tasty stuff.It's a small place, and larger groups will have a hard time, and no matter the size of your party, you may want to show up early to get in line.Because, there is just about always a line.They're trying outdoor seating, helping to expand the place.Nice option on a beautiful morning.

The service was good. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted, from a distance, and pointed to a table for us to sit at. I ordered the chicken and biscuits. They were good but nothing to write home about. My wife and I daughter got the waffles and also said they were ok. The real downer for me was the dish-ware. My chicken and waffle was served on a paper plate. My daughter was given a disposable plastic plate and my wife got a reusable plastic plate. We all got paper straws that didn't last long in the drinks. My daughter's was fully unusable before she finished her milk, so we had to ask for another one, at which they brought us a plastic straw. So we were confused by the inconsistency in the dishes and utensils they used. If you're just looking for somewhere to eat, this place would do fine. But we will probably look for somewhere else to eat next time.

I ventured into this restaurant on a rainy day. The location is down a little side street by the old courthouse in a venue that has been remade many times as a counter restaurant. On a Saturday around noon, it was buzzing! There was one lady working the floor for the entire place. A young lady helped out with drinks and menus. The wait was a bit to order which is why four stars, but understandable given that they had one lady on the floor. The Cajun black and blue chicken sandwich with thick cut bacon added was so delicious! I came thinking I was going to get an omelette, but decided to get that spicy, tangy sandwich instead. I am glad I did! They also have bottomless mimosas on Saturdays (and other weekend days) for a decent price. I would recommend highly for brunch, just be patient! It's worth it.

Wonderful food. Worth the wait. I did the chicken and waffles. Not your traditional, but would recommend. Don't be fooled by the paper plates. The food and ambiance outstanding.

Food was pretty good however, the service was lacking and the music was so loud we could not carry on a conversation. Cute place.
