Fern In The Wild

What a treat in downtown Ennis! We stopped here for lunch on our way to Dallas and were pleasantly surprised by this upscaled restaurant and adjacent gift shop. High ceilings and huge windows make the space airy and light. The menu is simple, with great unusual and healthy choices, food itself is excellent! We loved everything that we ordered: Beet salad with creamy goat cheese and arugula, Scallops with cauliflower purée, Stake sandwich, and Avocado toast. Everything was well presented, fresh and tasty. Great job, Chef Eric! The staff is super friendly and very welcoming! Cael took great care of us, was very helpful and attentive. We are definitely coming back, it’s our new favorite place between Dallas and Houston

We loved this place. Huge surprise on the way to Dallas for us. Very high quality establishment in downtown Ennis.
Food was phenomenal and Chef Eric came out to talk to us.
This will be a regular stop for us.
Highly recommended

This was a delightful experience from start to finish. This restaurant is a treat for the eyes … bright, modern, open - gorgeous! Our server Cael was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu, and was a pleasant addition to our evening … in fact each person we met of the staff was absolutely top notch and they obviously love what they do. The food was perfect, we had pork tenderloin with turnips and potatoes, topped off with the exquisite chocolate cake. It was a great evening and we intend to repeat it often.

Trendy atmosphere. Very tasty food with smaller portions for the entrees, better for our health. AMAZING chocolate cake. Avocado toast was also a highlight. Menu changes seasonally; two items not available when we visited. Attentive and timely service. I would likely give it a 5 and return; my husband a 3 and would not.

Fern In The Wild is an absolutely beautiful Cafe. The food is absolutely DELICIOUS! And the staff...such amazing and kind people. I am grateful this place is in our small town. Everyone should go and enjoy a meal. Oh and if you want the absolute best smelling detergent...get the Diva detergent at the shop.

The food is absolutely delicious! We had the BLT and Steak sandwich. The flavors were spot on. The staff are super friendly. A must try.

I'm tempted to drive to Ennis every weekend. My friend and I enjoyed our lunch intensely. The chicken salad was delicious, and the purple and white homemade chips were so good on the side, my friend ordered an extra side order. The margarita was perfection, as was service. The atmosphere is one of total comfort, and you really feel welcome. The prices are extremely fair.

Just a beautiful place. Props to whoever designed and remodeled this building. Cool little downtown area too, with great service and coffee here too. Would love to come back for a meal.

Food is outstanding. Ingredients sourced from local farms, prepared by an expert chef - this place should be a destination to those living here but also for anyone from Dallas passing by on 45. Full bar with good drinks as well

My and some friends went for a birthday brunch. We shared the croquettes, salmon dip and quail to start, then had the wagyu steak sandwich and quiche. All were absolutely wonderfully delicious! The chef uses unique combinations that will excite your taste buds. The restaurant is also beautifully designed. We can’t wait to go back!
