Customer Reviews
The service was frendly and helpful. The Cafe atmosphere was as advertised. A true Cafe home feel. The food was good. The popers were tasty with a light breading. The salmon was good. Nice char and glaze(very tasty) just a tad over cooked for me but still good. The okra was just like the popers FANTASTIC. The salads were fresh and tasty. The catfish was big and yummy. Home made tarter sause hit the spot. Great place.
You really must visit this place when you're starving because the portions are no joke. Husband and I came here after some research for an eatery between stops and a suggestion from a local business. Service was wonderful, I think we had Bailey (or it might have been Hailey, I lost the receipt and can't recall to be fair. But she has a red dye allergy. ) but she was extraordinary and kind. There is a rotating specials menu on the digitized screen behind the register but don't let the photos shown fool you, the portions are gigantic. I ended up ordering an appetizer and a dessert skipping the entree, but the appetizer could have easily fed 2-3 people. I honestly did not come prepared because when the peach cobbler ala mode arrived it was like the hominids first seeing the monolith in 200
This was my first visit. We've always heard the food was excellent so we stopped by for a late lunch and it was prefect. Not too busy after lunch, and plenty of seating. Great service, tasty dishes, and clean restrooms. We will surely be back.
Stopped in after bike riding at Brazos Bend State Park. I had the Jalapeno Jay with Jalapeno bread. Outstanding and juicy burger. Fries were great dipped in the country gravy.
I had a great meal at Jay Cafe today. I ordered one of the daily specials which was turkey and dressing with two sides. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. Also had the fried pickles as an appetizer which were amazing, I could just eat those alone and be happy. Our server was Shay and she knocked it out of the park, she was very friendly and attentive! Jay Cafe is a far drive from where I live but I'll definitely be back, it's worth it. I highly recommend to anyone in search of great food and service 👍
