Fork and Spoon

I'm excited to relocate to New Braunfels and I want to start the schnitzel tour as soon as I could. This place had mixed reviews and I was a little bit apprehensive. However, once we got in the door we were both very happy. The service was quite good. We were seated right away and our server was able to explain the quiche of the day and answer our questions.My wife went for the quiche with tomato basil soup and a small spinach and strawberry salad. She thought it was quite good. It was her first real cup of coffee in the week we've been in New Braunfels and she was very happy with the coffee that they offered I went for the schnitzel sandwich and oh my goodness I've never seen a schnitzel sandwich like this. It was a full piece of schnitzel twice the size of the bread. It took quite a bit to figure out how to even eat it. I would agree that there wasn't a whole lot of flavor in the schnitzel by itself, but adding a spritz of lemon juice and some salt and pepper,I thought it was tasty.The one downside of my meal today was the french fries that I got with the schnitzel. I should have gone with the homemade potato chips. The fries are these new coated type of fries which I dislike in general and they weren't even cooked all the way through so it was kind of disappointing The place was pretty full but we were surprised how quiet it was. It was very relaxing. The coffee cup and water cups never went empty. Our server cleared the table as she was collecting our payment so really no complaints. Definitely worth another visit and look to see how it ranks in the schnitzel tour of New Braunfels.

Pros:- The food was good. The french toast was perfectly moist and had a melt-in-your-mouth flavoring. The eggs were fluffy and the bacon was crisp on the edges, while being soft towards the center without the edges being burnt. - They use nice/premium to-go containers, which are plastic vs. styrofoam and arguably more sustainable due to their ability to be re-used. - Food wait times were much more accurate than seating wait times. It seems like they over-quote seating wait times, which I guess it's better to over-estimate than under, but see point #1 under cons. Cons:- This place has obviously overgrown this location and it's leading to a pretty bad customer experience because they stay on a wait (minimum wait time I heard quoted was 30 minutes, extending up to 60 -- we were quoted 45-60 minutes initially). When you have available space in the shopping center, the owners should be considering moving to an appropriately-sized space as you can't truly measure how much business you're losing walking people who can't/don't want to wait. For reference, we were attending a movie nearby and couldn't wait but decided to eat our meal in the lobby/waiting area. It was colder this day, so the inside waiting space was overly packed and the people who chose to wait but couldn't find seating indoors, unfortunately had to wait outdoors. Even the bar only had a single seat. - There's no combo with a french toast, eggs and bacon. That seems like a pretty basic breakfast combo. Yet there IS one for pancakes (the Fork and Spoon Plate for $12.49). That mean's you'll spend $14.49 to make the Oma Plate (1/2 french toast, eggs and potatoes) similar to this basic combo. Because of this, I did a 1/2 order of french toast, bacon and eggs (see next point). - Everything is charged A LA CARTE. So that $14.49 for the Oma plate just referenced is before a $1.00 surcharge ($0.50 per egg) and before adding $1.50 per slice bacon (subtotal $18.49). Because of the way the menu is laid out and the fact that I didn't want potatoes, everything al a carte was $1.50 per slice of bacon (x2 slices), $2.50 per egg (x2 eggs) and $6.39 for 1/2 french toast, which is one slice. Subtotal $14.39. - Employees don't know the menu. Asking about substitutions, etc. the employee was unsure about a lot. She essentially had to try to ring it up to tell us if combinations were possible and/or the cost which reveals that this a la carte setup is just as counter-intuitive for employees as it is customers. When the tap-to-pay wasn't working, the employee was also unaware that the handheld pay terminal had a slot for chip-based pay. - The employee helping us also didn't mention the rewards program, which has a 10 point bonus + your tab subtotal (1 point per $1) just for signing up. The rewards program scale is also severely slanted. You have to spend $100 to get $5 off, which is not that rewarding TBH.

I ordered the bacon avocado omelet the food was so delish the waitress was amazing and the place was so cute it was a 15 minute wait but the food was worth it The location is next to micheals and they have a cute outdoor patio They have a bar as well loved this place will be coming back again

Really good experience here. Great service and ordered the egg white veggie omelette with fruit. Super delicious.Inside was nice and clean with friend patrons.Highly recommend

Cute place in New Braunfels. Wait time for breakfast on a weekend was about 30 mins which is to be expected. Inside was clean, nice. The back area had a fireplace going which is adorable for this time of year. Food was delicious did not take long to arrive considering they were pretty packed. Only thing that was not the best was the caramel late I had (not pictured). It could have been a little hotter, stronger and maybe filled up more than cup was. Presentation was good though in the mason jar with handle. They do offer water outside for customers. It's in a big container. I'd be careful if you drink from there. During my visit there were children opening it and putting their hands in it. It was removed once staff was alerted but who knows how long that was going on for. Definitely recommend. Just stay away from the water

While ducking out from the front end of hurricane Beryl, we checked into a New Braunfels diner. The kids love all day breakfast places and went straight to pancakes.I tried their German fare. I got the Texas schnitzel which was the fried port cutlet with a Texas sauce (cream gravy with onions and jalapenos). It was pretty good, not a spicy the Germans I know would be used to.The Pan Crepes was topped with a cream anglaise sauce with strawberries, pecans and powdered sugar. It was light and tasty. They also come in half servings making them possible as an add on.They do have a patio, which would be great in the mornings, but was being drenched because of the rains.While we were waiting, I also tried their carrot cake. It was ok, but went well with the coffee after dinner.Michael M priced an egg-cellent, server and was amused as we played Disney trivia with the kids.There weren't too many booths in the inside, and I imagine it is full in the mornings and for brunch on weekends.I looked at the menu I'd want to try more . It's a good spot.

To whomever our sweet waitress was, Terra (our doggie) is all better! We came here after spending a night at one emergency vet and then ending up at the animal hospital next door. Our sweet waitress saw how exhausted and bedraggled we were and made sure we never ran low on coffee! The service was attentive and reasonably fast for how crazy busy and full all the tables were. The food was hot, filling, and comforting. You can tell by the ambiance, food, and service that this is a local place at heart, with the goal of serving good food to people to make them feel good. Definitely recommend!

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and when I come here for breakfast, it's delicious every single time no matter what I get. This time was French toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, and crispy potatoes washed down with a latte. Service is also top-notch. Get there early because they fill up fast and for good reason-they serve a darn good breakfast consistently.

A great brunch place ! The wait was a bit long but I would say it was worth it. My visit included my family of 5. The service we received was wonderful. I was able to take picture of our meals. Warm comfort food found here. A mix of German and American cuisine. This restaurant is actually pretty small but they make it work and not crowded. Something I loved was that the syrup for my pancake came in a warm bottle and I really enjoyed that haha. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because end of service the check still has a "credit card charge" from Covid. ( bring cash if you can) It's 2024 the owner should definitely change that.

My daughter and I were visiting antique shops in the area and decided to grab a bite to eat. We searched for breakfast spots, and found this place. Not disappointed at all... nice place and great fast service.
