Man. We made reservations for Valentine’s Day dinner, it was not busy. Waiter asked if we wanted bread and we said yes. We sat there a while and then he brought it apologizing saying he had forgot about us. My boyfriend ordered the beef tenderloin, then the waiter went into the entire explanation of what the tenderloin special entailed. He agreed to try it and ordered it medium rare. I ordered the beef tenderloin as is, medium rare. Never checked our glasses the entire time we were there. When the food arrived it was my plate of tenderloin and a plate of ravioli. Waiter immediately explained that he had accidentally punched in ravioli instead of the special he had promoted to us in the first place. He then asked my boyfriend if he still wanted them to fire up his meal real quick. Well I am a slow eater and I finished my meal, eating valentines dinner alone. When he finally brought out my boyfriend’s plate he asked for it to go since we had already been there for an hour. He brought out the check and said he had taken half off of his meal alone, but this guy single handedly ruined our night out, my meal included since I felt guilty eating while he had nothing. To top it off, he asked the table behind us if they wanted dessert and started to list them. Dessert was never offered to us. Just really disappointed.

The food was great. My wife and I went for our anniversary. Nice quiet place for a date night. We got the besos caliente for appetizers. The jalapenos had the perfect amount of spice. We shared the canyon chicken and they were kind enough to split it for us. The server was great. Wished us a happy anniversary and gave us a free gelato for dessert. Prices were fine but not something I could afford all the time.

Went to the bar side only. Didn't have dinner in restaurant. Bartenders were rude. Need a cocktail waitress, the whole getting up every time you wanted a drink and then standing in some long line. To have a bartender just be rude, Repeat every timr, off putting. Both the bathrooms were broken. Live music, nice, one man band, perfect.

My husband and I graduated from TTU a few years ago and we used to always go to Cafe J to celebrate special events. We absolutely loved their food and drinks! However, recently we went to Cafe J for my brother in law's graduation dinner and it was extremely disappointing.They were severely understaffed (on graduation weekend!!). We waited 45 minutes for our appetizers. Our drinks took 30 minutes and they forgot some which took another 15 minutes. We were there for a total of 2 and a half hours. We had to ask about our food and drinks multiple times. When the food finally came out after almost 2 hours it was good BUT the next morning all 6 of our party got food poisoning. The only thing we all ate the same was the chicken fried steak (which is hard to understand cook so it was likely cross contamination or something else). Our grandma was so sick she nearly almost missed the graduation ceremony.Our waitress was great and super apologetic about our wait. It was not her fault at all. Super disappointed this restaurant can't hire the appropriate amount of staff and as a result the experience of their customers is severely impacted. Not to mention it wasn't a cheap meal!We use to be regular customers, but will never recommend to visitors or friends/family again.

Most bizarre restaurant experience we have ever had. We have family in town and came for a Sunday lunch. With five kids there were 11 of us total. They responded to us like we were a huge burden due to the size of our group. After a while of waiting, they came back to us and asked if we wanted to sit on their patio. Because it was a chilly day and very windy, we said no, that we would prefer to sit inside. They then said that the patio is enclosed and that it would not be cold. We agreed. Then we got out to the patio and it was still cold and windy. So, we asked once again if we could move inside, even if it meant that we had to wait a while, and even if it meant that we needed to break up our party to multiple tables… Amazingly, they told us that they could not and would not. Just amazing. Not sure how they will be able to seat other groups as they come in? If they could not break up out group and seat us, how will they manage to seat others? Especially if they are willing to wait like we were…

Great first time experience!!!Ryan was our waiter and he was extremely knowledgeable of the menu. I HIGHLY recommend this fine restaurant for a date night or for some really great food! Be prepared to wait a little bit for the food, but trust me it’s completely worth it! I will definitely come back again very soon!

Best French toast I’ve ever had. Husband enjoyed the massive chicken fried steak.
We went on a Saturday - they had a very limited menu, but with that the food was delicious. The place has a few rooms open spaced so keeps the sound down to a minimum. They have an out door patio as well. Perhaps on a warmer day we will have to give that a try.For desert we had chocolate cake. Very tasty. Place was clean and service was amazing

Delicious appetizer, custom Lemon drop Martini by Sara! Both delicious, and prompt. NICE & QUIET atmosphere, can actually speak in normal voice. Caesar salad fresh and perfect size. Entrees DELICIOUS! Grilled Salmon w pad Thai no jalapeños, plus Chicken Roulade awesome. Creme Brule YUM!! Can't top!
