Eating at a garden center restaurant in Texas is a magical experience. Not only can you admire beautiful plants, but you also get to enjoy a fresh, delicious meal at the same time. That’s my kind of place! Cafe at the Gardens at Alldredge Gardens in Midland is a prime example of how plant nurseries and restaurants are a match made in heaven. Once you see the lush patio filled with koi ponds and tropical plants, you’ll never want to leave.
Alldredge Gardens in Midland is a one-stop shop for all of your home and garden needs.
More than just a nursery, the garden center offers lawn care services, interior design, and a restaurant with the most gorgeous outdoor seating area.
The restaurant is called Cafe at the Gardens, and it's a peaceful oasis complete with waterfalls, koi ponds, and live music. You'll feel like you've escaped to a tropical paradise when you dine here.
With an emphasis on freshness and high-quality ingredients, the cafe varies its menu on an almost daily basis. That being said, there are many items that are always available, including quiche, sandwiches, and burgers.
Make sure to check out the menu board to see what the daily special is. You'll often see hearty classics like chicken parmesan paired with a vegetable or side salad for the perfect, well-rounded meal.
If Southern comfort food is your love language like it is for me, you'll adore when the restaurant offers dishes like pork chops and chicken-fried steak. Three starches for sides is just the move sometimes, who's with me on that?
Perhaps you'll pair your drink with a decadent dessert such as creme brulee or carrot cake. You can even get a dessert sampler if you're feeling indecisive!
You can even host a special event at the cafe. I simply can't imagine a more beautiful setting for a gathering, can you?
