Elijah's Cafe

I was staying at the motel next door and Elijah’s was recommended to me to try, and I am so glad I followed up on that recommendation. The food was excellent it’s been a long time since I had such an amazing chicken fried steak. I had green beans, and black eyed peas as my sides. I also tried the fried pickles and they were delicious! Reminded me of my favorite catfish restaurant back home. I’ll be in Jasper for the next few weekends and I’ll definitely be back to try something new!

The food is hands down amazing. I am not one for bad reviews, but this is the second time that we have had an absolute terrible experience. The first time we went we had a young blonde waitress and we did not get silverware or a menu within the first hour of being there and then we did not get refills for most of the night we were a group of 5 on a very slow night and were nice to staff but every time we needed anything we would have to hunt staff down sometime she was not even out for more than thirty minutes at a time and when she came back would still not have silverware or menus we were probably there 2 and a half hours she gave our table to someone else who did great compared to what we had that day. Today we had an older Hispanic waitress who was amazing we complemented her the whol

Previously I had had excellent experiences at Elijah's. Maybe tonight was just a bad night. Three of the seven seven people served at our table had terrible food. The steak was terrible quality, one over cooked and one under cooked, pork chops were overcooked, baked potatoes and steamed carrots were practically raw. Everyone else's food was pretty good. Service was terrible. Very slow and took about 25 minutes to be seated because we were a party greater than six. I never received one of my sides and refills were hard to come by. Server did state that they were out of cornbread but did not offer the typical rolls either. 2025 Update: Restaurant was about 40-50% filled. Took 45 minutes for salads to come out. They were out of fried pickles and baked potatoes. Food started showing up at 52

Do not order online. They do not have all of the updates in. At least that is what I was told. Lame to me. No option to put gravy/sauces on side. So take out is soggy. If you do not mind driving. I highly recommend the Woodville location. Better atmosphere. Servers have warmer, friendlier personalities. Oh yeah and ordering through the app or drive-thru apparently you do not get bread, even though you are paying the same price as dining in. I'm saving myself the hassle and go to Cedar Tree. They have a lot of the same items anyway and some, not all, are cheaper. Same portions. If I feel the need for Elijah's, I've no problem driving to Woodville.

Yesterday our family was there for lunch at 11am. I ordered a patty melt as well as my husband ,I substituted my fries for onion rings extra1.00 ok no problem. My granddaughter ordered a burger and ask for a baked potato instead of fries. The waitress never bothered to say no sub on burger brings out potato and never says anything assumption I thought that maybe a couple extra for potato. Then as she brought the check I told her that she ordered a potato instead of fries and then she said oh no we don't do that. 7.99 for a very small plain potato. Ok I go to said manager and she refuses to take the potato off saying that she will not refund or change it completely rude. So I paid and told her she lost a customer she was not in the least concerned that she was rude or losing a customer. Y'a
