Zanzibar Cafe

I really enjoy spending time at Zanzibar Cafe. The service is always friendly and food is great. They allow dogs on the patio which is a plus for me. Good wine selection and amazing desserts. The market has a deli and a over-the-top selection of fun stuff. Brunch is busy and hard to get a table unless you go early or late.

My name Lucy Brown, and I live downtown. First of all, the second review the owner, who I know personally. His name is Bob Chancellor, and he likes to travel and recruit talent. I first met Bob on the 50 yard line of the Dallas Cowboys stadium. Anyway, please pay no attention to his review because "Old Tex", as we refer to him is only in for his own interest. Let's not get into his wives' affairs, no pun intended. As far as the restraunt staff, service, and food go, I think Zanzibar is a great African island, in a sea of honkeys.

The breakfast is good. Chewy whole grain toast, consistent scrambled eggs and bacon, good bagels. But every other time i go here for lunch, dinner or a glass of wine, either the food or the service seems to suffer. The mac n cheese is odd, underseasoned, and usually served too cold. Service is crazy unorganized and slow during rush hour, and the cheese plate is pretty ordinary. But i applaud the breakfast efforts, and hope to see this place work out the kinks. Would love to have a neighborhood go-to spot that's cheaper than Chloe.
