Cafe J

The atmosphere, waiter, and food were all great! It was the perfect environment for the large group that we had.

I think our server was Kaylin. I wish I remembered for sure because she was outstanding. She was attentive, prompt, courteous....

She came back to inform me that the dish I ordered was not available, and I chose something else. It came out with everyone in my party's order. Then, she arrived with my original dish; there had been a miscommunication. I was so pleased that she brought it! (It's my favorite at Café J!)

There were 9 of us, and she was thoroughly professional in her service for our large party. We will definitely continue to have our meetings at Care J!

Delicious food, fast service, fun atmosphere!

Great service and delicious dinner!

We enjoyed HH in the bar first, had great service and great drinks then had dinner in the restaurant. Food was delicious, as always, had a wonderful waitress, Reagan, and the entire experience was wonderful!

The restaurant has great ambiance. We received excellent service.

It was amazing anything at Cafe J is a good pick for Sunday brunch! Thank you to them for the wonderful service.

We had an absolute amazing time ama experience. I proposed to my fiancé and we were given 2 glasses of wine on the house!! Thank you for making our night so much more special!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere and great people!

Can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. Wonderful ambiance, delicious food, fun cocktails and attentive staff.

Cafe J is fun! the food is truly wonderful and the customer service is great! For whatever the occasion, Cafe J is the place to go in Lubbock, Texas!

Food was good but wait staff and hostess need more training. We had cocktails in the front bar and service was great. Bartender was very good and new how to make all of our unusual drinks!

I would definitely recommend for a special dinner. It was a trendy place with a semi casual feel. The food was amazing!! Drinks were perfect & delicious, will definitely come back!!

This was our third time to visit Cafe J. Two of the three times was for brunch on Sunday. The atmosphere was pleasant and the noise level was such that everyone at our table could comfortably visit with each other. Everyone got something different and each of us found our dishes to be acceptable but nothing spectacular. It seems that on this visit the food wasn’t as good as on previous visits. Maybe the chef was just having an off day but it left all of us feeling like this would probably be our last visit to Cafe J.

The food was great as always. They can't do much about the large group that was there. It was the first time I felt like I was back at a family reunion with kids running around and lots of loud uncle's and aunts. The waitress was not great and seemed to be stressed out. Our service was below your normal standards. The past times we have gone, the people are way above the community standard and it is a very enjoyable brunch. I would still go back. It is a great place. The large group majorly affected your service. Just a learning experience.

We came at 6:30 for for a Anniversary dinner

Good and easy all the way around, will do it again!

Cafe J’s is a gourmet gem in West Texas - if you are a foodie look no further - from beginning to end - tapas special (rosemary chicken skewers with coconut milk) pork loin entree (juicy and tender!) sautéed spinach and homemade mashed potatoes and finishing touch - warm chocolate cake - we give this 5 stars

What really set this experience apart was the wait staff - Kate was attentive without being intrusive - her suggestions were spot on and we loved knowing the staff tastes the specials ahead of time

We had a great meal. Our server was fantastic. Very knowledgeable very friendly and helpful.

We were so disappointed. Got there at opening for brunch. I was hungry for a nice big waffle....none on menu so ordered the crepe. I’ve never been so disappointed with a restaurant. Came awfully fast and was cold. I mean not even warm. Waitress said with Nutella and fruit, it was supposed to be a dessert crepe????!!! Huh? I was just in Paris and I know crepes. Then ordered a waffle....I think the balls of butter were preformed butter....water? Waffle was dry like frozen waffles would be. Not fresh.

They must have a new chef. ....?......or kitchen manager? Husbands potatos and omelet were hot but not their usual standard.

Great dinner with delicious food!

Did not like fact that had to pay credit card surcharge.

Excellent menu. Perfectly cooked steak and risotto. Table by the patio for a medium-sizes group. Aplreciated light and view.

My husband had the special kabobs with a Caesar salad, I had champagne chicken and pear salad. The only issue with the food was the chicken was very dry and slightly tough. Flavors were great, service was excellent. We always enjoy Cafe J because it’s quite and the food is good. If the chicken had not been so dry I would give 5 stars

I was surprised and disappointed to be charge for using a credit card. That is not a classy act, particularly when the charge was trivial. It has put me off Cafe J.

Great Brunch! Service was excellent. Mimosas are a must!

Terrible service. Food was worse. Simple burgers turned into shoe leather and avocados were rancid. I’ve been dining here for over 10 years; it has gone downhill steadily.

Wonderful time & wonderful food for a graduation brunch. Outstanding!

We went there to celebrate a college graduation and the food and service were great as usual. The only disappointing part was that management allowed a large table to "hijack" the dining room even causing an elderly couple to move to a different table as the large table kept expanding and bumping into them. Servers are college students so they weren't comfortable confronting the group. We'll definitely go back but might avoid special event nights...

Very enjoyable. Brunch included unique options not found in many restaurants. Nice diversion from typical fare.

Great service and food was amazing!

We really enjoy this restaurant. The food is always good and consistent. The service this time was really awesome. We would go here again.

I recommend it because historically it has been good! Mother’s Day was not as good! Food was not up to standard! Waitress was not very good at serving us and she capped it off by taking my cash payment and never returning with the change! She ended up with a 30% tip for poor service! Why did I not say anything? We were leaving and visited with friends at another table and I did not want to make a scene!

Mother’s Day brunch was excellent.

The restaurant was busy because it was Mother's Day but the service was quick and the food excellent.

The food was fantastic! Everything from the Caesar salad to the scalloped potatoes and ribeye were perfectly cooked and delicious. Great night!

Delicious food, great service, wonderful ambience!

Every time I am in Lubbock from Austin I go to Sunday brunch at Cafe J. The stuffed Poblano is spectacular!

Wife and I both got food poinsoning from the crab cakes.

Always great. Great service and food. Had friends from out of town and took them to Cafe J and we all enjoyed the evening.
