Cafe At The Gardens Midland Reviews
What a wonderful place to eat. Highly recommended by a person that likes plants.
Stopped in for lunch and really enjoyed it. The appetizers were great, and the atmosphere is what makes this place special — eating beside the koi pond with the big open greenhouse space for kids to explore is hard to beat. Service was solid, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you haven’t been.
I love it here! The food, the service and the atmosphere is great and will be coming back from now on. Everyone seemed so happy to work there except for the person serving plates. They were so quiet and would roll his eyes and just looked miserable. That’s the only complaint. I do want to clarify the waitress was amazing but the guy just had a terrible attitude.
The food was so good. We started off with the spinich dip. We ordered the Avocado turkey sandwich, a burger, and a patty melt. The patty melt came on rye bread and had a slightly spicy sauce on it. So just remember that. I should of asked for a different bread and no sauce. But everything else was good. Even the service was good. We didn't have to wait long for our food.
We recently hosted a baby shower at Cafe at the Gardens (Aldridge Gardens) and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! I was hosting the event for a friend, and the entire team went above and beyond to make the day so special. Alisha, the manager, was absolutely amazing—so kind, professional, and helpful throughout the whole planning process. Her assistant manager (I feel terrible for forgetting his name!) was also fantastic. They helped by having the tables set, provided linens for all the tables, and made sure we had everything we needed for our group of about 50–60 guests. They helped me choose a great menu that worked perfectly for our group. The food was the perfect amount, everything tasted great, and they had the full staff available to serve drinks and assist wherever needed. Even clean-up was a breeze—they took care of all the trash, which was a huge relief! The setting was beautiful, the staff was wonderful, and the price was incredibly reasonable. We’re so grateful for such a posh and stress-free experience. Highly recommend for any special event!
What an absolutely wonderful experience! My friends and I are from out of town and decided to meet up here because Midland is between all of us. From the moment we arrived it was a great experience. The staff is extremely friendly and personable. The scenery was gorgeous. The wait was not long at all. The restaurant wasn't crowded. The food was DELICIOUS. It's about 2 hours away from me but I will definitely be going back. Thank you for a beautiful lunch!
Awesome atmosphere. Food was not bad, just not 5 star. Service was adequate. Setting was beautiful.
This was my first time there and gotta say it was prett good. Now a bit confusing as there is signs placed around the business that lead you to the restaurant but a little too hidden at first. Once we got there we had a party of 7, so normaly a 15 min wait. We got seated relatively quick and were greeted by our host.with the first round of drinks ordered we got queso blanco and chips. The chese was perfect temp for the kids at the table and chips all crunchy and lightly salted to perfection. We then placed our order and sat for a decent amount of time not too long as our food arived in a timely manner. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with sausage, one of my all time favorites. This is where it diverted from being 5 stars. The gravy tasted rich and home made, the biscuits fluffy and soft, but the sausage. It literally looked and tasted like precut frozen sausage patty. I have always loved a good cooked sausage but this almost killed the plate for me. The saving grace had to be the fried potatos and scrambled egg. The potatos were perfectly cooked not over done but nice and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside the eggs were fluffy and delicious. Over all the other plates at the table were really good and this one plate wont stop me from coming back i would just like to see a bit more of an authentic sausage if im buying it at 14 bucks a pop id love just a bit better sausage. Overall great staff great atmosphere just a bit kayotic for the workers in peak hours. Never the less i will be back to try more from this nice little tucked away hole in the wall.
It was so fun stopping in the greenhouse for a bite to eat! The food was very fresh and tasty, although truthfully I wouldn’t recommend the drinks to my worst enemy! Lol. But otherwise, between the tasty food and the impeccable service? I’d recommend giving it a go! (Especially the key lime pie)
The environment was very relaxing and peaceful, aside from the screaming children who arrived shortly after us… The food is nothing to rave about, disappointing actually 🤷🏼♀️ I ordered the bacon and spinach quiche and it was severely undercooked. The service was awful. Our table was ignored the entire time and apart from dropping our order, we never saw our waiter. I had to ask for the check…. I was really hoping for a better experience 😕
Super cute environment and seating. But all the food tastes like instant or reheat meals. Even the sandwich meat was very low quality, queso tasted like straight up velveeta. Loved the ambiance just wish food was better quality.
