Blue Bonnet Cafe

(Community Matters) Michael Barnes and I wanted to catch up yesterday over lunch, so how better than a drive through the hill country to a favorite, Blue Bonnet Cafe in Marble Falls. Texas Highway Magazine readers named it the #1 restaurant in Texas for breakfast (which we both had) and one of the Top 10 restaurants in Texas. It’s home cooking at its best.

Proprietor John Kemper of course meeting and greeting the long line of folks waiting to be seated, and we arrived just after 11. Lots of families picking up young campers from Camp Longhorn. I could have sworn one stylish woman was Cindy Bock but she corrected me that she wasn’t. Missed her name but saw her again last night at the Acton opening.

Pies to die for. We split a piece of banana cream pie for dessert and both brought back apple pies, mine for Tana & Joe, Michael’s for Kip. Dozens of pies to choose from including Apple (reg or sugar free), German Chocolate, Banana Cream, Fudge, Chocolate Cream, Chocolate Meringue, Lemon Cream, Lemon Meringue, Cherry and lots more.

hmm, a dinner with brisket from Snows, ribs from Kreutz’s, sausage from Luling City Market, potato salad & beans from Kreutz’s and pies from Bluebonnet Cafe. Ok, this is my newest dream, Hill Country dinner
