I just happened to be passing through and stopped here. The food was absolutely amazing! I had chicken fried chicken and asparagus. Yummy soft beautiful warm bread too. Salad. I will come here everytime I come this way. Best food so far ive had in Texas! Fresh hot perfectly seasoned and large portions. That and an ice tea was under 20 bucks!

I think I remember our waiters name being Alex. The nicest waiter I’ve probably had ever. Positive attitude, welcoming, funny, Kind. He made the experience a 10/10 on top of the great food. We were the last people at the restaurant and he announced it was my birthday with no one else around and sang by himself. Everyone at the table agreed he was amazing. The cafe is lucky to have such a guy!

With a cozy interior and a warm, welcoming staff, my feelings were positive and hopeful when I was seated at this cafe. The waitress, a kind and good-natured lady, enthusiastically spoke about the popular specials, appetizers, and sides. My expectations were set and I was ready to explore the culinary scene in Cuero, unfortunately I won't be Gobbling up more food at this place in the future.
I want to first pay my respects to Brynna, my server. She was bright, pleasant, and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and was very attentive. I was very impressed with her service. So keep being you, you're not the problem at this cafe. You're the reason I'm giving this place two stars instead of one.
Now let's talk food.
I ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes. I can't sugar coat this (but if I did they would probably be less bland), they somehow had negative flavor. Yes, the flavor of these somehow dips into the negative. I pulled out my calculator to make sure I did the math right and it all adds up. They are sliced way too thick and they are horrifically underseasoned. I've lived in Georgia. I like fried green tomatoes. Whoever makes these here has zero understanding of what makes a good fried green tomato. Thin, crisp, well-seasoned. You look at my pictures, it was like I was biting into a raw cucumber. I sent the dish away after taking like two bites and I was still charged for it.
The salad, nothing special, as basic as you can get. Inoffensive, complimentary, I can't complain too much. It's just very basic soulless salad.
There were also complimentary rolls and like a cinnamon butter thing. Quite alright. I don't need copious amounts of sweet butter to start my meal but the gesture is appreciated nonetheless.
I ordered the pecan-crusted chicken, it was massive. And a side of asparagus. The asparagus, zero flavor or seasoning. I wish they tasted what they were cooking because that asparagus was sad. Like, I almost gave it a Xanax it looked so sad.
The chicken was cooked very well, and was the highlight of my experience here. Sadly it was also a bit bland. It could use a little salt because the crunchy pecan exterior was actually pretty decent. And it was sweet, but couldn't taste much of the garlic in the garlic honey. It was, at times, a bit too sweet; that was why I was craving a little saltiness on the chicken to give it contrast and make it a little more savory. The coating came off pretty easily so after a while, it was just me eating pieces of bland chicken and crunchy bits of the fried coating, sometimes the flavors worked together, most of the time it didn't. It was okay. There's a place in Victoria called the Pumphouse and THEY have a pecan-crusted chicken and it's executed a lot better.
On a final note,
Aimee's Bluebird Cafe charmed me with its rustic appearance and friendly staff. Unfortunately, their food just isn't very good. It's incredibly bland, underseasoned, and poorly executed. I hope the people of Cuero find something else to Gobble on.

It had been quite a while since we last visited this place; I believe it had another name at the time.
Nice drive over from Shiner didn’t disappoint. Service was ok; just a tad slow, but courteous.
When I saw it I knew I had to try the BBQ Bacon Mac & Cheese burger. Of course I added fresh jalapenos (and they were nice and warm). The Mrs got the hamburger steak and garlic mashed potatoes. Delicious all around.
Make the trip over and check them out.

Just driving by and thought we'd give it a try. We were out with the grandkids. Well worth the trip. The fried catfish plate I had was fantastic, as was the chicken fried chicken plate my wife had. Service was fantastic . This is a place we will come back to. Would highly recommend you give it a try.
