Nutshell Eatery And Bakery

The Square Cafe? 42 years it was the Nutshell. The new owners changed the name to the Square cafe. Google brought us to the place. We were looking for direction to the nutshell as that is what showed on our exploration on maps. The staff was friendly. The food was home cooking! It was very delicious! The history is so very interesting. Come in sit a while and ask. The pictures tell the story of the food.

For the price, this is an excellent value. They have all you can eat breakfast, but we opted for a few of their meals and ate every bite. I love that it feels cozy and the staff is friendly and out to give you a good value. Will visit again the next time i come back to granbury. Their cinnamon toast is yummy!

Dated restaurant with food that is average at best. The good: Great location with nostalgic perspective. The bad: Food was greasy, over cooked, and dessert from display is not fresh. I had the lunch special. The service was slow, and indifferent. Furniture was older the entire restaurant has a dirty feel. Conclusion: Uninspired meals, staff, and restaurant that should be visited only as a last resort.

The service was not there. You have to get your own food and drinks and silverware. My mothers order was missing some items that I paid for and the lady that too my order was rude and stared at my mother when she walked in making her feel uncomfortable. However the food that my mother and I both ordered was really good and fresh. I loved their biscuits and gravy and my mother really enjoyed her 3 egg omelet. All in all not terrible just really different. I absolutely did not feel obligated to leave much of a tip seeing as how my mother and I did all the serving ourselves.

Food was Meh... advertisement on sidewalk said all you can eat breakfast. When we went in there was no information or Direction on how to pay for or get all you can eat except... someone saying,( it's in the back!) After waiting in line to get a tray we were told we had to go to the front and pay first , then come back and get in line again losing our place. The all you can eat was in the back with a lady taking forever to plate each single item on a person's plate and lifting each steam table lid and placing it on the lid next to it, I might add that the steam table had too much water in it and the metal pans containing the food were floating and jostling around! With restaurant management experience , the lids should have been removed and the person serving wouldn't have to waste so much time picking up lids and setting them on top of each other over and over again as customers stood in line watching the slow-motion serving . We had to wait for scrambled eggs to be cooked while standing in line. We were eating our meal and the cashier came up and told us that all-you-can-eat is now over, however the sign out front said it was served 8 a.m. to 12:00 noon and it was now 10:45 a.m. They did not have all of the items on the all-you-can-eat menu that were listed on the sign. None of the food was great. This place needs to be organized and streamlined, and they then could serve a lot more people, and make a more money. We won't be back. On a good note, the cashier was nice and friendly.

Good food. Nice ambiance--a little rustic--but nice. Service was fast. But, the lady who took our order was...snarky and just a little bit rude. She fit the typical roadside cafe character of a cranky waitress. But the Nutshell is not a roadside cafe. It's supposed to be a quaint charming eatery. Don't get me wrong, it didn't upset me enough to leave or anything. It was just a little off putting.
