Cafe J

Excellent brunch! Service was great!

We always enjoy going to Cafe J for our special events. As always, they did not disappoint! Well, except they've removed crepes from their menu. Our server was GREAT!

Great place for brunch! The french toast was AMAZING!

We loved everything about Cafe J except for the winter sangria it tasted like perfume

The staff was very friendly but the service was very slow. We had time to wait but would have preferred a drink a little faster after ordering. The real issue was No Social Distancing. They packed every table 2 feet apart. We felt unsafe. The food was good, very good in fact. I just didn’t want a side dish of COVID to go with it.

Great service and food!

Appetizers were good. And salads were good My wife had salmon that was almost inedible tasted old and no flavor whatsoever. I had a tenderloin steak underwhelming and overcooked. We will probably not go back

We went to Cafe J for a Sunday morning brunch. We all got something different and everyone’s food was amazing and creative. We got reservations because they are usually busy but the Thanksgiving weekend didn’t seem to need one. This will be on the top of our brunch list in Lubbock!

Had a date with my wife. We had an awesome experience, food was great and our server was awesome. Will definitely come back again.

Family came into town and we took them out for Sunday Brunch! Food was delicious and great service

I requested patio seating and even called the restaurant to make sure we could get that. When we arrived they had given ALL the patio seating to one large party. Had no concern about our reservation. Low on staff. Food decent. Will be contacting manager.

Excellent as always and my favorite place in Lubbock going all the way back to the days of Grapevine Cafe. Cafe J is our favorite go to !

We had a moms and daughter brunch on Sunday and it was absolutely perfect!! Food was great and service was wonderful!! Thanks for a great kickoff to our week Cafe J!!

Birthday dinner

I was expecting a lunch menu but they were serving brunch. Not what I had planned on but delicious nevertheless.

We had my girlfriend’s birthday party there. Our server was as good as I have ever had. All the waitstaff were very good. The food was absolutely delicious and we all had something different. I thought with drinks and wine the price was more than reasonable. We didn’t have dinner we had a dining experience!! We will definitely be returning.

We were visiting our daughter at Tech and were pleasantly surprised. We like to find fun places to eat. For the experience, charm and quality I guarantee we would have paid $100.00 more for our dinner in Dallas. Great place.

The food was excellent, and the cocktails were on point. Great job!

Food was great. We waited about 30 minutes even with a reservation but it was a busy night. Great experience!

Great food and atmosphere!!!! Steak was amazing and live music was awesome.

The food was delicious, perfect flavors and perfect proportions. I had the scallops and my date had the fried avacado. We were both very happy and full - great price too :) we’ll be coming back again

We Loved the service, The food was delicious and the prices were great!

Cafe J is a very nice place, love the ambiance. The food was delicious. I had the tenderloin & enjoyed it very much.

If this is the only option for brunch and your heart is set on it, it'll work. The reservation seemed to be a complete surprise to the hostess. Was told that sitting outside would be the 'safe choice.' The waitress covering the patio was good but overwhelmed. Had to wait on silverware after food was on the table, had to wait several passes before coffee and water were refilled, some menu items were unavailable less than an hour after it opened, and our reservation was only fifteen minutes after opening. The omelet was thin and lacking of flavor, ordered salsa just to add something to it and was just as underwhelmed at the 'salsa.' Many places list this as the best brunch in Lubbock and while I can see potential it was far from realized. I'd keep the ambience and the waitress and change about everything else.

Great food, Marielle was a wonderful waitress, and the patio was perfect!

15 min without water during meal. Marginal food quality. Hidden fees not listed in menu or by waitstaff.

It was quiet. Food was great. My two guests hadn’t been there in over 18 years. They really enjoyed it. They will be going back as will we.

Amazing and loved our server Megan!

Great menu with reasonable prices and a comfortable, casual, upscale environment

Once we finally got waited on (sat for over 30 minutes...kept trying to save someone down), waitress was very attentive. Good thing was, my friend and I hadn’t seen each other in a while, so we had lots of time to catch up.

Terrible. Reservations at 8:30pm , arrived 5 min early and was told it would be a 40 minute wait! Sent us into the bar, ordered an appetizer and dinner. They were out of 2 main dinner entrees and pinot noir wine. After 25 minutes of waiting for the appetizer, we left. Manager compted our drinks at least. Went to Funky Door and had an excellent experience as always...so don’t tell me it’s because of cv19!

Fabulous. Always love the food. Great service including the entertainment of the little one we had with us.

Our meal, drinks, & service were excellent! The only factor that was undesirable was the AC wasn’t working well at all, and it was uncomfortably warm. Other than that, everything was great.

Family get together before basketball game

Good food and service! Nice ambience and location.

first time there, but will not be the last, great food. great service. great manhattan. will make this the first stop on my return to lubbock

Visited my daughter at college in Lubbock from Houston.
This was our 2nd Visit to Cafe J for Brunch.
Food was very good.
I ordered the 8oz Strip Steak and eggs.
I was a bit disappointed as the price on the menu was $12.00 and when our bill came my meal was $24.00
I asked the waiter why I was charged $24 for a meal that was $12 on the menu and she advised me that they had a printing error on the menu and my meal was $24.
I paid the $24 for the meal but really felt they should have honored the price. I looked and several other menus on other tables and all menus showed this meal at $12...

I wish I could remember our waitresses name. She was beyond amazing. Our reservation was for Pete or Warren at 6:15 Friday night. My friend was visiting from Dallas and a food gourmet and well traveled. He said after something after she ask him pertaining to how he wanted his Makers, that was a sign of an excellent restaurant if the server was versed in that. Very impressed with restaurant, ambiance and, above all, our server. Thank you

Great! Food is always good. Always great service and the bar drinks are the best in town.

Overall great service and excellent food
