    The food was ok. The margs were terrible. The service was impeccable. The fajitas were the best thing we had.

    After dining at the Blue Bonnet for over 40 years my experience was so bad that I doubt I will ever return. The food was terrible, the restaurant was empty and we still had lousy service, the menu has been reduced to half the options for the past and the food costs are off the charts high. The house margarita's have even changed and taste like cheap margarita mix! Terrible experience and we will not be going back anytime soon!

    Food fairly mediocre from appetizer to main entrees. Margaritas not that tasty and over-priced. Service indifferent. Won’t hurry back, needless to say.

    I’ve been a patron here since 1991. It was a place I always enjoyed and took all out of town visitors. I was first disappointed in the chips which were quite stale and not salted. This is not typical for Bluebonnet. The queso and guacamole were excellent as always. But my smothered shredded beef with bean burrito was quite bland, which was surprising. Their shredded beef is usually very flavorful. I don’t know if this was just a bad day for them, but it was definitely not up to the standards I have always enjoyed at Bluebonnet. I don’t want to sever the 34 year relationship I have here, but I dropped $100 on food I considered sub par.

    We had a great time! The food was tasty, very good. Our large group loved the special care the server provided us. Our family/friend group has dined there many times, expecting and receiving excellent food and service always.
