Restaurants in Jefferson

“Without a doubt, the place to go for your BBQ needs! The ribs (which is what we got both times) were moist, nice and smokey and so tender! Delicious!! We stopped by while camping at Caddo Lake State Park and are so glad we did! If we lived closer (Colorado Springs is a bit far...lol) This would be our go to place all the time!. Will and Lucy are very nice and the prices are great. Definitely recommend!”

“was in town for my granddaddys celebration of life. 9 of us arrived at 7p which was an hour before closing, most restaurants would have gotta upset seeing us all coming in but not Pines Cafe. got two tables put together and promptly got drinks. we all ordered food from lbs of shrimp and crawfish. they make the food to order and it was well worth the wait. grilled squash was really good and so was the shrimp and crawfish. kind staff too makes it all that much better. havent been to lake o the Pines since 2018. loved and highly recommend this place.”

“Decided to check out these spot in the cool town of Jefferson Texas. Read something that said it was a Top 50 BBQ spot in Texas although I didn't see anything on the walls that mentioned it, but hey I am half blind. I went with the 2 meat as you can tell a lot with Brisket and Sausage. I chose Potato Salad and BBQ Beans as my sides. I am just going to say that the smoked sausage was by far my favorite. Very tasty and juicy. This will definitely be my choice in the future. The brisket was tender, flavorful and juicy as well. I like the beans but I felt that they need a tad bit more juice, they were borderline dry, in my opinion. The potato salad was just potato salad.

On a scale of 1-10 : Sausage 10, Brisket 8, Beans 8, Potato Salad 5.

I'll go back for sure but will most likely try different sides and possibly a rib.”

“First of all the smell when I walked in was like home. I could smell the flavor and the seasoning it was so captivating. The first course arrives, (appetizer) CROSTINI: grilled focaccia topped with jalapeño goat cheese smothered in a rich homemade marinara sauce!!!!!😋and it’s like a tiny masterpiece on a plate. The second course the PECAN TOPPED SALMON: wild caught Alaskan salmon topped with pesto and a pecan crust absolutely cooked to perfection. The flavors are layered, fresh, and vibrant. Each bite is a perfect balance of textures and tastes that somehow both surprise and comfort you at the same time. The German brown bread with maple butter on top was the right amount of sweetness. Again😋….. The whole experience lingers with you long after you’ve finished. It wasn’t just a meal—it was an event. And when you leave, you can’t help but feel grateful, as if you’ve just had the privilege of experiencing something rare and extraordinary. Thank you for such a memorable experience!!! #2daysinarow #jeffersontx”

“A sandwich you will wonder how it's made every single bite!!! And save room for pie it's a must. Plan your next Jefferson Tx. trip around a Kitt's Kornbread visit.”

“Our room was beautiful and we felt very pampered. The hosts are friendly and go out of their way to make you comfortable. We hope to go back!”

“It was a nice surprise to find reasonably priced doughnuts, kolaches, and breakfast sandwiches. I live in the Houston area, where these items have more than doubled in price in the last couple years.

The blueberry donuts were amazing. I also loved their sausage kolaches and the boudin kolache. My wife said the fried egg on her croissant sandwich was better than she has had in a long time.

Highly recommended.”

“This restaurant is beyond amazing! The food was to die for, and our server Shawn was EXCELLENT!! Actually best server I have had in a very long time.”

“Great food and Band and Friendly nice clean Restaurant ❤️”

“The staff here is very helpful and friendly! I will definitely return again!”

“Great people, service, and the BEST TEAS!”

“We came into town from Longview for the Living History event. As we were leaving we were looking for a place to dine bf leaving. Some places were closed downtown or they ran out of items we wanted so we ate here. It wasn't a mistake! The children loved the chicken strip and fries and the husband and I shared the Cung pow shrimp with rice. I have never experienced such flavors with fried rice or cung pow anything. It was fresh, the seasoning was even fresh with a hint of pinapple. Literally the best I've ever experienced. The only thing I would add is to add more of the jucey, fresh shrimp. Because it was a 10 over all! We love Jefferson and will be back soon to visit and eat here! You guys truly have a talent with cooking!”

“Mom and I just had dinner here tonight, and it was AMAZING!! Yummy beans at the bean bar, what was hands-down one of the best chicken fried steaks I’ve had in years slathered in a delicious cream gravy, top tier sweet tea and a takeaway piece of Brown Cow cake that I’m sloooowly working on even now. Food was 10/10, staff and service were 10/10. We will DEFINITELY be back!”

“Incredible staff so sweet & drinks were nothing short of phenomenal I’ll definitely be back”

“best coffee and beans I've had in a long time, a must try if your in the Jefferson area”

“Such a cute bus! The staff is so friendly and inviting!
We got the Texas Turtle and a Cinnamon Roll (also Texas sized! ). They were abundant and delicious!”

“Great Food by Great People”

“I will not spend another cent at this place. The last 2 times I have ordered pizza including today, I have asked for extra sauce and extra cheese because the pizza is always so dry. Both times, I have gotten pizzas with next to no sauce and very little cheese. I'm basically getting bread with whatever topping I ask for.”

“Had the best Bday dinner!! THE best staff EVER!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“I can not express how amazing the place, the staff, the experience was. Truly a must stop. A place full of history and wonderful people. Till the next time💕”
