Our friends wanted to take us here and I am so glad we came! Food is delicious! It is so fresh! It is a cozy little diner that looks small from the outside, but has plenty of seating! My daughter loved the coconut pie. The BLT was so good and the appetizers are HUGE! The burgers and chicken fried steak were great! We will be back!

This is the 3rd or 4th time we have come on Monday evening to get the baked potato soup and they are out. I guess we will no longer come because we come specifically for the soup.

We were in town and wanted to eat at the locals cafe. Once inside we waited some time as instructed to, then we were told to sit anywhere we wanted to. Waitress wasn't prepared to take any questions, glazed. We ordered the chicken fried steak and when it was brought out it was missing the rolls. I asked the waitress where they were and she replied we are out, since it part of the meal I asked if they had biscuits and the answer was no, we have some Texas toast so we agreed on that. After nearly finishing our meal she brought out one slice of toast to be shared, I requested that we each should have a piece. So long story short avoid this place if all possible, go anywhere but here.

I recently visited The Jay Cafe and was pleasantly surprised by the warm and inviting atmosphere, friendly service, and — most importantly — the food. (They serve Halal Chicken)
I ordered the chicken noodle soup, and it truly hit the spot. The broth was rich and flavorful without being overly salty, and it had just the right balance of herbs. The noodles were perfectly cooked — not too soft — and the chicken was tender and generously portioned. You could tell it was made fresh and with care, like a comforting homemade meal.
The service was attentive without being intrusive, and everything was served promptly. It’s rare to find a place that gets the simple things so right, and this soup was a perfect example of that.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy meal that’s both satisfying and made with quality ingredients. I’ll definitely be coming back!
We had really good homemade food! Best we've had without cooking it ourselves! Waitress was awesome. Will definitely be back. Glad we have finally found a place to eat that really means home cooking.

We recently dined at the Jay Cafe in Lake Jackson, Tx. We had a wonderful experience. The food was incredible, and the service was great! Crystal was our server, and she was the most enjoyable person! She was personable, quick, knowledgeable. She made our experience dining there awesome! Of course, we left with chocolate peanut butter pie!

First time at this location. Walked through two servers at the front door (on break?) and then stood there for a while before we were greeted and sat. The service and food was good after that. The place seemed a bit dingy ... For example, the table was sticky: after sitting through a movie at the filthy local movie theater, the last thing I wanted to do was touch another sticky surface.
Edit: it would have been nice to be told about the specials ... We didn't see the TV displaying the specials until after we had ordered.
