“Cafe 123 is truly a gem! I always have a wonderful experience here! The food is absolutely delicious, and the staff is so welcoming and attentive. I’m already planning my next visit!“

“New to this place now i eat here 3 or 4 times a week. I like the idea of whatever you order is made fresh . What I do not like is the constant mistakes at the order or from the kitchen. However when its wrong they fix it but I also see alot of waste cause they throw it away. Just slow down listen better or read better. I usually have my food delivered to me and by then its too late to fix cause its delivered incorrectly.“

“The lunch portion of meatloaf was so thin, I could see through it. I left hungry. 👎Waitress was super nice.“

“Recently we used Jim Bob's for a catered lunch! They made the process so easy and were flexible to cater to our needs! Everyone was so helpful, on time and the quality was not lost in larger quantity! Everything was amazing! They made sure to provide all the extra details (napkins, ketchup, sauces, serving utensils, etc). This particular luncheon is hosted in different cities and we have used Jim Bob's everytime we host locally and people always say this is THE BEST. Love being able to support a local, small business that brings the quality, consistency and great customer service!“
