Used to go to this place weekly when I was in college.. sushi in college? That’s where my student loan money must have went.

Very nice people. Gave me free stuff all the time and the lady who ran the place had short, cute hair, like me.

They also take your photo on your birthday so I’m up on the walls in a few places.

Haven’t been in ages but would go back and try it again.

Black Walnut Cafe Fish Tacos

Originally written for Yelp and posted: 02/29/2008

I have been to the Rice Village location a number of times but this was my first for the Sugar Land location. They have wifi!

I went during lunch hours with a friend from work at about 11:15. The place wasn’t crowded but was also roomy. I love their oversized wingback chairs they use at some tables. There was also a really cool cone shaped blue glass light fixture I noticed. Very hip and unique!

Since my last visit, I stopped eating chicken so didn’t know what to order. My usual here was the Black Walnut Salad that had chicken. It is really a great salad if you like apples, gorgonzola and walnuts of course. I didn’t think this salad could be prepared with shrimp so I decided to go with fish tacos.

I was serve two, rather large, fried fish tacos in corn tortillas. The were topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomato and chipotle dressing. They were just the right temperature and had just the right amount of flavor for my taste buds. A house salad also came with the tacos.

Black Walnut Cafe also has a great assortment of desserts and italian gelato. I didn’t have either this time. They serve beer and also have a coffee bar. They also serve breakfast all day along but you won’t find any pancakes here.

I’d go back to this or any other Black Walnut location, even just for dessert and coffee. Did I mention they have wifi? Didn’t see anyone on a laptop when I was there though.
