Came in today for the first time and was very pleased. Staff and manager/owner were so friendly and helpful. Food was great and the atmosphere was very relaxing.They were down a grill and trying to make a lunch catering order, so my food took longer than normal, but I wasn’t in a hurry at all so I didn’t mind. They kept me updated on the food timing and even offered to comp my meal for the slow cooking.The restroom was immaculate and well stocked with supplies for any ladies or baby needs.Parking can be hard since it’s downtown but well worth a little walk to have great food and service.I had the BLT with ago and avacado.

Pretty dang good food. However, it was pricey and a bit salty. Also, it's tight seating in there and gets really loud.

Tried the Mexican Chicken Fried Steak with German potatoes. The Steak was a bit under seasoned and needed more queso and jalapeños. The German potatoes need work - It’s mashed root with bacon. A German potato salad should have more acid and be lighter. Admittedly the menu did not say “German Potato Salad” but I would recommend they investigate.
Comfy, cozy restaurant with great, attentive service. We (3) had the CFS and all three thought it one of the best CFSs we've had. Flavorful, crispy crust, generous steaks, good potatoes & green beans. Solid meal at a good price. We'll be back for breakfast soon.

I am torn on how to review this place. The Water Well Cafe 361 is in downtown Victoria. Gives off small town vibes. VERY clean restrooms. Has reasonable prices. I ordered “The Rubio Ribeye”. Only $15.95 comes with two eggs your way, beans and potatoes, and a 10 ounce ribeye. Choice of tortillas or toast. The ribeye was more than 10 ounces and cooked perfectly. Very little gristle or fat. The tea was not too sweet. The only part of the food I did not like was the ranchero sauce you can add for $2. It was watery. More like a soup. Had a good flavor, just too watery to be a sauce. If I was grading on food and atmosphere alone it would be five stars easy. The service is where it was lacking. The waiter acted like he was annoyed having to work. The waiter at the next table and had a great attitude and was really friendly. They ran out of beans. Instead of coming and letting me know, or ask if I want a substitution, he just added more potatoes. Then told me he was doing me a favor by not charging me for the extra potatoes. Never refilled my tea. Like I said before, great food. Need to work on service.

The hamburger was average and the meat seemed frozen with grill smoke added. The bun was too large for the meat. The Kid's meal sliders use the same burger patty, cut in half. The slider buns are a little heavy in taste. The tater tots are standard fare. The server was attentive but food for all people at the table should be brought out together and not 4 minutes apart.
Very good!!!
