Restaurants in Lake Jackson

“Very good food fast paced servers were nice 10/10”

“I was SO excited to find out about this food truck serving true Mediterranean fare in Lake Jackson and stopped by for lunch on Monday. I had a wonderful visit with the lovely Amal as she prepared my food that I took home to share with my husband. I got the veggie plate (that came with yummy bread) and the gyro plate. The food was delicious; the meat tender and juicy and the rice cooked perfectly, fluffy and flavorful. A nice side of Greek salad added to it all. The falafel on the veggie plate was very good dipped in the accompanying sauces. Hummus and baba ganoush wonderful as well. Thank you, Amal!!”

“Great friendly staff. Enjoyed a delicious and fresh lunch.”

“Great Food, awesome customer service and clean.”

“Great food, comfortable environment, friendly staff. This was my husband’s and I first time to dine there and we felt very welcomed and treated like we were VIP’s. I highly recommend it. We are not from Lake Jackson but definitely and certainly going back.”

“Always great food and service. Highly recommended.”

“best food ive had in a long time, and ive been to Greek festivals in Houston and its better than what ive had there, in the city. im definitely making this my go to place when im hungry”

“A positive thing. Our little group SAS (Senior Adult Singles) had a little holiday/Christmas party and we chose to eat at The Jay Cafe in Lake Jackson. We also elected to have Turkey and dressing (dispite gorging on this since Thanksgiving) Amar accomidated serving this on Saturday night (instead of their usual Sunday offering of the same) and the food was great. Our server was so sweet and accommodating it only added to a great evening.”

“Instant FAVORITE!! We've loved coming here for years! Everything we've ever ordered was delicious and satisfying. The staff are friendly and top notch. It's like being welcomed home for Sunday dinner. This is the restaurant we'll miss when we move away.”

“Our volunteers were treated to a perfectly themed lunch generously donated by Wayside Pub in Lake Jackson. They served up delicious shepherd’s pie, and a standout favorite was the Shanghai egg rolls—now available at Wayside! They even dyed the sweet and sour sauce green for a little extra luck. 🍀”

“Excellent place and quality [Original] Excellent place and quality”

“I love their salad and I ordered the speghetti with meatballs. The meatballs were huge. I thought they overwhelm the speghetti and sauce but that's just me.”

“Such a great time tonight! DJ was fire, that porkchop platter LORD! A hidden gem for sure we will be back! Server Carla was amazing!”

“it is great, 5 stars, i was visiting my sister who lives in Lake Jackson. catfish and fried oysters fantastic. crawfish queso divine. the oysters on the half shell a little dehydrated, but flavor great. I would go every week if I lived close.”

“Been a loyal customer since 2021 and they have never failed ! True gold business! Service , kindness, friendly, and wonderful staff. Will definitely recommend to others! Fresh Teas and blueberry muffins are my must !! Thank you ladies !!! Jessika ❤️”

“This is now my favorite coffee shop and gathering place. Love the atmosphere, the coffee is absolutely amazing, and talented baristas!! Love this place!!!”

“The food and Cook (Brittany Still) Was excellent She cooked it the way I ordered it. Great experience. I will be back. I had to ask for the cooks name great place”

“My husband & I cannot function without some Shaka Juice every morning. Not acidic, super flavorful, great prices, extremely nice employees. 10/10 recommend.”

“Thank you Brew & Bake for making my family a delicious gluten-free chocolate cake! It was absolutely amazing. We’ve never had a gluten-free cake before, but on this new journey we’re learning to reset our mindset and try better options, and this did not disappoint! Our first impression? Brownie cake! It’s incredibly moist and has the perfect consistency. The best way to describe it is like those warm, fudgy brownies from Cici’s Pizza. Rich, decadent, and it literally melts in your mouth. Thank you for bringing a better, healthier choice from your oven to our table We are so grateful!”

“It's an old food truck but I'm giving it 5 stars for atmosphere because it's a classic food truck taqueria. I ordered the Quesabirria plate and it was top notch. The guy running the truck was by himself but cooked my food like a master chef. He spread a little chipotle sauce on the tortillas which really pumped up the flavor. Some of the best I've had. He gave me a free side of charro beans as well and they were great. Don't miss it if you're in the area, delicious! ?”

“I decided to visit because of all the bad reviews to see if they lived up to the name. Well for starters I can see how they usually won't have pretzels ready, It's a small place in a big mall so give them a break. As for the 2 pretzels I ordered... They were good! The lady that attended me was also very nice and forgave a small mistake I made when ordering. I would give it five stars but it was the companies fault that made it a small place in a large demand area. But other than that keep it up!”

“The Birria tacos are the best in the area period and the Margaritas where fantastic”

“My cousin came to visit from Abilene. Enjoyed a day at Kemah Boardwalk and finished the day at the Lake Jackson Texas Roadhouse. We had steaks and beer and we enjoyed watching the staff dancing. A great way to end our day.”

“The Local made reservations for our Brazosport graduates of 1963. They served food that we chose individually, and they provided drinks to our liking, and a welcoming, friendly atmosphere! Thank You! Vickie V. Symington”

“Good cookies! Pretzel 🥨 was good! Friendly service!”

“Chocolate Martini was great. I had the Prime Steak that was perfect and very tender. The Shrimp Diablo was excellent. Had a great romantic evening dinner with my husband. Great service that was very smooth and peaceful.”

“Great food, service and atmosphere”

“Great food and nice and friendly staff. And fast survive too.”

“They’re food is absolutely delicious also fresh and they’re customer service is amazing and friendly they’re restaurant is always clean and felt welome I definitely coming back again and recommend my family and friends to dine here …food 10/10 service 10/10”

“I was so excited when this place opened in LJ!! From the grand opening to today, I’ve always had great service! They engage with the community, are friendly and super helpful with my dietary challenges! The owner Josh and his amazing assistant manager Callie always make my mornings brighter and helps start my day off right! Go check them out!!”

“Carne Asada fries!! Life changing ♥️♥️”

“Love the Honey Baked Ham store in Lake Jackson! The manager and staff are always super friendly and helpful. Don’t forget to grab a ham bone from them next time you cook bean soup, they are full of ham and it makes a nice meal.”

“Cold beer & great food, pool tables & jukebox”

“The friendliness of the staff. I called the store and spoke with Dakota and explained my situation about picking up my order inside. He offered, before I could ask, to bring it to the car for me. I left him my name so he could keep an eye out for my online order. Thank you, Dakota.”

“Go here for the DAIRY not for the burger (should have known by the name). We tried this place after moving here, and came in with high expectations especially with the “Award winning burger award” on the wall for something like 10 yrs. I got the jalepeno burger and he got the double burger. It was nothing like I expected.. a bland burger on a non toasty bun. The lettuce was soggy HOWEVER the chocolate shake was phenomenal. Will be back for the drinks, not the food.”

“We ordered chopped beef baked potatoes and the sausage platter and they both were phenomenal. Best baked potatoes in the area, hands down. Will be ordering again!!”

“THE. BEST. I won’t go anywhere else for tacos, delicious.”

“Really amazing food carefully prepared with quality fresh ingredients, and reasonable portions/calorie count. The 2 meals I've had from there have both been really great! Try it. You won't be disappointed!”

“Can’t say enough about this place! We had a party here for one of our kids and I would highly recommend it! The party guests had a blast, the pizza was great and the team members hosting us were exceptional”

“Excellent”

“We had a great meal and service during our last lunch visit. We will be back.”

“1st visit: Food is amazing. The lady taking my order was very knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. Even threw in an extra treat for me! Recommended to all family and friends. Thank you for serving us well and providing yummy food for our community.”

“All I can say is holy crap there food is so so good there green salsa is amazing and the lady at the front is so beautiful she has such a sweet spirit. Definitely would recommend all food is amazing”

“Opens at 4:30 but will not have full menu available. Tried both a Kolache and the blueberry donuts. The kolache was fine. Good even but nothing special. However, those blueberry donuts are ridiculous fresh out of the oven. My wife quickly nuked some as well a couple hours after purchase and they were still excellent (according to her). I'll try the other donuts but honestly....I'm just looking forward to more blueberry donuts.”

“we went for a late dinner after I got off work. The food was hot and served in a timely manner. Our server Cynthia was very attentive and friendly.”

“Went today to pick up breakfast. I ordered 1 pound of barbacoa $19.47. When I asked if corn tortillas and salsa were included I was told no by an employee. It would be $27 if I wanted them. So I asked if salsa came with it when it was given to me. I was told yes it was included. When I got home no salsa. Every other Mexican restaurant that sells barbacoa has tortillas and salsa as part of the meal at no additional cost. I guess I'll be going to Downtown Tacos, or ARs Mexican restaurant in Freeport next time.”

“fun for kids and families”

“Big shout out to Jess at the drive thru,always so friendly!”

“the pizza is kick butt . the service is awesome and the atmosphere is fantastic. stop looking at it and walk in and order. you won't regret it.”

“It was okay for what it is. I had someone else pay for it through a drawing I won at work... I doubt I would pay that much just to go myself again. It's not healthy at all. Tasty? Sure if you slather it in sauce it is tastier than plain, but on it's own the chicken isn't anything special in my opinion. The fries are decent. The slaw is slaw. The smallish Texas Toast is okay. The best thing was the sweet tea, but Whataburger has it all beat... It'll do if you're hungry and want a change from the burger places... I still don't understand all the hype. Sauce? Mmmmkay. Meh. One Love... just not great in my opinion.”

“Good food ...great $$$$ and that staff was amazing.. A+++++ thank y'all..
update 02/27/26 still amazing.. Sam our waitress was awesome 😎. Thank y'all”

“Fun spot for a drink. Nice TV’s to watch a game. Outside seating is great, and they have a huge Oak tree for shade. Next time we’ll bring our pizza over from Drini’s (next door) because they allow outside food.”

“Currently, I go to Chick Fil A roughly once a month. I go to McDonalds once a week, solely because they have a playground. If the Lake Jackson Chick Fil A had a playground, they would be getting my once a week business. We need more indoor playgrounds. Just a thought.”

“The Birria Tacos and the Wings are pretty damn good. In a city where you can’t really find much real food, and definitely not healthy food, at least you want your splurging to be actually good. And the Wings and Tacos are great. The whole vibe is relaxed, easy going, and bilingual if you speak Spanish and English, so overall a nice relaxed spot with a patio!”

“Great service & pizza. We stopped by for a fundraiser and will definitely be back!”

“Great beer and food selection. Friendly and proactive staff. I had the Jager schnitzel and a side of red cabsge. It was a solid choice. I would have liked a little bit more sauce so next time I'll ask for extra. They do pile on the mushrooms though so huge bonus there. Atmosphere is modern and clean. Be cool if there was a bit more German decor. Overall must visit in town for sure.”

“I'm from Dallas Texas and it was so neat to visit this restaurants and the employees are so pleasant.”

“Amazing food and staff. very friendly and attentive. Hibachi was fun and so much food. Will definitely be returning.”

“Great food and great service.”

“Very Good chicken , great taste. Friendly employees, clean restaurant.”

“Always great server, food always fresh and hot, wait time varies. Chili's has been my little random night out i dont want to cook or do dishes and the price stays good for me and my kid to leave spending less than $30 if we want. Been going random for 3 years to this location and all these things never change, good server good food good price”

“Jackie was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my family and made the whole experience exceptional. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, we couldn’t have asked for better service. My daughter loved her! We will definitely be back!”
