The Garden of Eating Bistro - (Near Cleburne, TX)

5 /5 Arden Trevino: What a great find! Relaxing atmosphere, delicious food and they offer good vegan/vegetarian options. We hope to get back tomorrow to try other dishes! Easy street parking.

5 /5 Rachel Gray: Unique gem in the heart of downtown Cleburne. We were lucky enough to stop by on a Saturday during a shop the block event. The restaurant is bistro style with unique finds to purchase throughout the store. Food was fabulous, the potato soup is probably the best lve ever tried. The place was packed but the servers handled it well and didnt skip a beat. Super cool intimate window seating options, I wish I took a picture of it, but great for people watching. Will be back if were ever in the area.

2 /5 Valerie Taylor: Very cute boutique and diner, friendly staff, right off the Cleburne square. They were offering specials when we went, we each got one soup from that menu- meatball, and creamy tomato basil. They were the stars of the show for sure. We ordered a catcher on the rye, they were out of rye bread so I asked for regular sourdough, it came on a roll instead of sandwich bread. Also got the 4 cheese grilled cheese, and the TOM with loaded potato salad but they brought German potato salad. The mix ups are not an issue, out waiter was new and the sourdough roll was still very good. Neither of us liked thr potato salad, but thats personal preference. Now, what makes this rating so low- service time and food quality. It took an hour for 3 sandwiches. The diner was not full, several other people that came in after were getting their food first. Which I could understand for some things, but again...sandwiches. When we got them, the grilled cheese was cold, no cheese pull moment there. The reason i got the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup was so that I could eat them together, but they brought out the soup almost immediately and then the sandwich an hour later. The catcher on the Rye had almost no sauerkraut whatsoever (see picture). It just was not worth the wait, we wont be back and I wouldnt recommend unless you just like the atmosphere and want to have a chat and maybe good soup.

5 /5 Leland Reinhard: One of my favorite places to catch lunch. The menu is unique. It is not your average sandwich/salad shop, barbecue , chicken fried steak joint. I like those kinds of places but you can find them everywhere.This place has blazed it own trail and come up with something special. The menu abounds with healthy alternatives. While you are there take a look at the eclectic collection of gift items for sale. It is a good place to browse and look for a special gift for someone special. The atmosphere reflects the personality of the owner/founder. Upbeat, energetic with bit of good natured humor on the side. You won’t find another place like it anywhere in Johnson County or Fort Worth for that matter. It is the unique character of the place that makes it interesting and sets it apart. If yiu live in Cleburne stop by. If you are traveling schedule a break from the road and a relaxing lunch. You will be happy you did.
