Description

Jay's Café, under new ownership, offers a blend of experiences that leaves diners divided. While service remains exemplary, the food quality has notably declined, with canned vegetables and overly salty fries disappointing many. However, highlights include the succulent burgers, chicken tenders, and fried shrimp, alongside mouthwatering steak and vibrant salads. Desserts, especially the coconut cream pie, receive rave reviews. The café retains a welcoming atmosphere, with friendly staff eager to assist. Though the value seems diminished, those seeking a casual meal with a touch of nostalgia might still find it worth a visit.

We traveled for 2 hours to reach this restaurant, and the food was just as delicious as we remembered from our last visit. It was definitely worth the journey!

The food was great but our waitress was not very competent.

I wish this place wasn't an hour away from us We stopped by after visiting Brazos Bend for dinner and everything was so good! We showed up about an hour before they closed but everything we ordered was still freshly made. I ordered the jalapeño burger and my fiancé ordered the chicken tenders. Everything I tried was delicious and felt homemade. We also ordered a strawberry shake to go which was very tasty. Can't wait to stop by again!
