Alvord House Marcellus Reviews
What a cute, rustic, country restaurant! Nice view of Main Street Boerne. I had the Boerne Omelet, side of grits and a biscuit. My first time here and pleasantly surprised at the good and affordable breakfast. Recommended.
Great coffee. Great food. Cozy casual atmosphere. Super easy for a late Sunday breakfast. :)
Great little eatery that serves breakfast. Really enjoyed the coffee options and the breakfast plates. I really enjoyed the eggs Benedict with pepper jack cheese. I recommend this place if you love a cozy atmosphere and great breakfast!
Located in the heart of the Hillcountry Mile, in a stretch of main street where the sidewalks are covered and parking is often scarce, restaurants on this stretch are probably seen more than visited, but this local fan suggests being intentional - find parking, make the walk if necessary because the Boerne Grill is exceptional and Hillcountry unique. The menu is simple, food is delicious and the servants are bubbly and respectful. I like their breakfast so we normally go in the morning when street side parking is still available...but the weather is cooler in case we need to walk.
Great little place to eat and hang out with friends. The food was good, and the dishes are not complicated, simple menus, yet lots to choose from. Very happy with the service, and the atmosphere was charming. I will definitely be going back again in the near future. A+ from me.
I’m in East coaster and this place screams hospitality. The two young ladies at the counter were sweet and ordering my lunch was seamless. For lunch I had the jalapeno tuna melt with bacon, lettuce, no avocado. Drink of choice, a dirty SPICY chai with almond milk. Both great delicious!
Service was quick and coffee was good. Quaint shop in downtown Boerne serving coffee and baked goods. I got the jalapeño cheese kolache which good as well as papas rancheras and bean and cheese tacos. The tacos left a bit to be desired, I found their portion sizes to be smaller than other shops nearby like Mary’s tacos. Other than that, good food and would come back.
The Boerne Grill has been a staple in Boerne since 1992. For those who have been around for a while you’ll remember when the entire place was housed in the smaller side where enter and order. David Rice and his do a job providing tasty food and good coffee. Chris, who has been there for years, always greats you with a smile and delicious food. It’s been my go to place for years. It’s great for breakfast, lunch, and meetings with friends and clients.
What a great find this morning!! I had the Hungry Traveler, and I highly recommend it. My wife had the French Toast breakfast. They don't over pile your plate, and they were not ridiculously overpriced. There was not a waitress staff, which I was not upset about. The 2 guys behind the counter could have had a little more customer service by actually acknowledging the customer when they walked up to the counter, but the fella busting the table was awesome. He was very polite and respectful. He held great conversation for just the right amount of time every time he came to our table. The absolute best part is they had my hometown syrup, Blackburn's Syrup!!
Our favorite breakfast spot on Main St. in Boerne, Texas. We love that they serve breakfast until they close at 2pm. Not always easy to find breakfast in a small town when you want to sleep in. We had a great Western Omelette and eggs benedict. Also, we ordered lattes with some hazelnut and vanilla flavors that were very good. We'll always return to Boerne Grill!
AMAZING breakfast! When you enter, you order your meal at the register. After ordering you can sit down and find a table. Once your food is ready they will call your name and you can grab your plate. There are tons of condiments at the area where you pick up your plate. We were a party of 6 and we all enjoyed our meal we chose. I would definitely eat here again if I lived nearby! The coffee is good, too.
Great spot for breakfast on Main Street. Food was exceptional, and very reasonably priced. Very, very friendly service as well. Our server had such a bright smile, you could see it through her mask. Highly recommended! The pancakes were delicious, as were the eggs, and sausage. Very generous portion sizes for the very reasonable price, especially on Main Street!
We like this place for the food, never tried the drinks. The prices have gone up considerably (some things nearly double the price, but it's still somewhat reasonably priced. I got these wedding cookies today for $6 and they weren't even worth $1- they taste like someone made them from ingredients they had in the back of their pantry for 30 yrs, old and almost musty tasting- not good. Maybe I'm just spoiled because my mother in law makes them perfect and fresh every Christmas. So I don't recommend getting bakery items. Their tacos are great and the pancakes are pretty good too.
The food is always good but the man taking orders at the counter is not very friendly. He rung in our order wrong and when I pointed it out, he changed the order and walked away (not saying anything), which I guess meant it had been fixed. I reviewed the order again and it was still wrong, so I pointed it out again. He audibly sighed and fixed it, still not saying anything (no niceties or questions to clarify). The order still wasn’t fully correct, but it was close enough and I was starting to feel like a bother, even though I was only trying to make sure the order was correct. He went and told the kitchen about the mistake on the ticket, but that caused confusion and only half of the food ended up coming out because the kitchen thought that half of the ticket had been cancelled. I assumed the other half of the food would come out shortly after the first half, but after about 10 minutes I went to ask about it and the kitchen made it for me and brought it to the table (which I appreciated). A couple other things to note were that the front counter man forgot about our muffin that we ordered (left it in the microwave) and my latte was only about 2/3 full in the cup. Again, the food is always delicious, reasonably priced, and comes out quickly, but our experience was sadly derailed due to the front counter person refusing to communicate or ask any clarifying questions as we placed our order.
This little diner was a place we couldn’t wait to visit. Where it was a good breakfast spot, it wasn’t the best. I ordered an omelette, and it was great. My potatoes were yummy too…& the biscuit they gave me was one of the best I’ve ever had. But my husband ordered the fried egg sandwich…& they brought it to him with scrambled eggs on it…& his breakfast taco that he ordered wasn’t warm…& hardly had any chorizo in it at all. The lady who took our order wasn’t very friendly, but everyone else definitely was. We’ll definitely be back to give it another try, though!
4.5 not a 5 but not a 4. Cozy place and get there early on a Sunday no problem finding a place for 6. Didnt realize no wait staff, so that was a little odd. But it wasnt that bad. Would e preferred table service for coffee and refills must be conflict since they are connected for the coffee shop next door. The paging system is them yelling a name loudly your order or drink is ready. The biscuit and gravy with egg and hashbrowns was good. The hashbrowns were cut up steak fries, they were good just not what I expected. The sausage gravy was gravy with cut up sausage added on top.. the prices are really good and the portion size is worth the price. We had a nice visit with family we brought from out of town. They seemed to enjoy so that's what matters most.
If you like being talked to rudely and sarcastically, then this is your place. Our group pushed 2 tables together so we could eat together. An employee came over and started to explain, in the most rude and belittling tone, that it was against fire code to have the tables so close together. Mind you, this was after 4 different staff members came by to drop off our orders and check on us. All he had to do was explain it nicely. We won't be back and suggest everyone avoid this place.
Had to wait in line to order my food for 10 minutes although only 4 people ahead of me in line. You have to order first pay then go look for a place to eat. They promised someone would be bringing drinks. However,never happened. We had to go get our own drinks. Our table was filthy with left over plates and garbage from prior patrons.Bus boy came in from outside about 15 minutes after we had sat down to take away only half the garbage and dishes left behind. Never wiped table. Food mediocre at best. You do get a discount for using cash. More like a school cafeteria. Never going back. Overpriced.The health department needs to make a visit.
