#32. The World Famous "Blue Bonnet Cafe" in Marble Falls


Is there anyone left in the world who has not enjoyed the Blue Bonnet Café? Fresh home-style food at its best! Where you can enjoy breakfast from opening til closing with food served by the “tops” in friendly waitresses. Where around 26,000 eggs are cracked each month to take care of hungry customers! Breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Blue Bonnet have been a Hill Country tradition for close to 81 years now.


Did’ja know that the Blue Bonnet is named after a woman’s bonnet and not after the flower? Hence, the “two words” in the name Blue Bonnet.

The Blue Bonnet’s breakfast menu includes eggs, omelets, french toast, pancakes, biscuits, sausage, biscuits and gravy to die for and of course, crispy hash browns. Lunch and dinner features chicken-fried steak, grilled steaks, liver and onions, pot roast, ground steaks, fried catfish, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and Mexican plates. And the Blue Bonnet is well-known for its wonderfully tasty yeast rolls!

Pies are the BIG thing at the Blue Bonnet. And when ordering a slice, you get a HUGE slice! The pie selection includes apple, cherry, peach, pecan, fudge, chocolate meringue, lemon meringue, coconut meringue, and peanut butter. Pies ”to go” are priced at $12. 95.

John and Belinda Kempner have owned the Blue Bonnet since February 1981. The Blue Bonnet first opened in 1925 and opened at its present location in 1946.

Hours: Monday through Thursday – 6 AM to-8 PM, Friday and Saturday – 6 AM to 9 PM, Sunday 6AM to 1:45 PM. Pie Happy Hour 3 PM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. Breakfast served from opening to closing. No credit cards, but an ATM machine is on site.

You’ll find the Blue Bonnet at 211 Hwy 281 in Marble Falls, close to the 281 bridge over Lake Marble Falls. And you’ll see Blue Bonnet Café t-shirts all over the world worn by folks anxious to return to the Hill Country for a great meal at the Blue Bonnet.
