J's Eatery

1st time here on NYE, so I will have to try again when it isn't a holiday. The service was good, very friendly wait staff. The drinks are rather small, but have free refills. The wait for the food was a bit long and the dishes came out 1 at a time with maybe 5 to 7 mins before the next plate came out. Definitely be prepared to wait here, don't come if you're on a timed lunch break. The food was very good, especially the mac and cheese 😋. The smothered chicken was tender and flavorful. The meatloaf was juicy. Catfish and shrimp were fried nicely, not too crunchy. Will definitely have to go back and try the oxtails which are only available Fri - Sun.

J's Eatery was amazing. I had the best greens of my life, the best sauteed spinach of my life (how did she even do that?!), mac and cheese that was up there with the best... My husband had the smoked meatloaf, which he loved, and some fantastic banana pudding. He joked that he wasn't going to share with me and so the owner brought me my own little cookie. Thanks, J! Wonderful place. She's adding all day breakfast and other new dishes soon. This is one to watch; I only wish it was closer to where we live!

The visit here was an experience. We love the honesty of Mrs. Judy. My fiance wanted oxtails and they were not tender at that time. She personally came out to talk to us to let us know. By the time we finished talking they were good to go. I don't eat oxtail but I tasted his and OMG. DELICIOUS. The food was so good and a lot of it. The desserts were delicious as well. This is our new go to spot. If you haven't tried it out, you should!!!!

Y'all do NOT sleep on this place. It was absolutely phenomenal. I wish I would have gotten the before picture of our plates, but I did include pictures of the after. The first is our plates which as you can see were cleared. The second is of the desserts we had to order ( say YES to the lemon pound cake). We go to SA all the time but had never been here before and wish we had because we have been missing out. The service was so kind. They sat and talked with us for a while. Food was hot and served quickly. I had the chicken fried steak, and my husband had the smoked meatloaf. We also had a sample of the ox tail and I'd order that as a meal next time it was really good. Corn bread was incredible. Check this place out!

I randomly stumbled upon this restaurant, and it turned out to be amazing! The food was delicious, the prices were super reasonable, and the atmosphere was really nice. Honestly, this is some of the best soul food I’ve had in San Antonio. I’m surprised they don’t have more publicity because they’re definitely better than most of the other soul food spots in the city. It’s rare to find quality soul food like this — they just need better marketing. I’ll definitely be coming back!
