I went to Cafe J with a friend for brunch on Saturday. We both ordered the chicken fried steak (me with biscuits and my friend with waffles). The food came out savory and well portioned! I give Cafe J big props on how they cook there asparagus. The price was affordable for the portion.Overall4.5/5 starsWould recommend the restaurant

We reserved Café J for my granddaughters high school graduation for 18 people on Saturday night. The staff was very attentive and checked on us oftenThere was a quaint patio for us to visit and have drinks before eating. I had younger grandchildren there who enjoyed the outdoors area.Our server Lauren was kind and very friendly. The food was delicious and the menu offered a nice variety.I highly recommend Café J for large or small groups. A laid back, yet intimate vibe, who welcomes from 8-85( all ages). Thank you Café J for your hard work and the plesurable evening!

It took 2 hours for us to get our food. We didn’t order anything large, 2 French toast orders, 2 Mac and cheese orders, and an omelet. The French toast is $14 for only two slices (4 pieces) that are cold, flavorless, and you can get better at the worst reviewed Dennys in town. They also add a charge when you pay with card, despite the fact that the food is overpriced as it is. The service and the food is just absolutely horrible and not worth it. They also had us sitting outdoors in the sun for over two hours, without seeing or hearing from our waitress for almost an hour.

I went with a group and the waiter completely forgot my food and it took almost an hour to receive it after asking twice. I got my food when everyone else was finished with their meals. Some of our receipts were messed up and given wrong charges. Food was good but the service was not great.

We celebrated my wife's birthday there. She was born in the same building when it was Saint Mary's hospital. The service was excellent, the food great, and the price reasonable. You can't ask for more. We will definitely be back.

Um it’s pretty good. Decor is cute and location is unbeatable. Cafe J, Skyviews, Texas Tech Club, and Pecan Grill are probably the most reasonable restaurants close to the school.I think cafe J is an institution, like it’s been in the community for a long time, and the food tends to reflect that, classic dishes. I got the shrimp & grits and chicken & waffles. The chicken & waffles could be way better with some improved batter, whole grain with some coarse or more lively texture would really help. It tastes like store bought batter right now. Shrimp & grits was better, I’d try some colorful garnish like chives.

I sure enjoyed my Caesar Salad with chicken and ranch. It was amazing. Sarah was an amazing waitress who made sure I had everything I need. 5 Stars for Cafe J. Look forward to coming back again.

We celebrated my wife's birthday since she was born in the same building when it was Saint Mary's hospital. The service was excellent, the food good, and the price reasonable. It doesn't get better than that. We will definitely be back.
