    First time at Jays Southern Café and wow... what an experience! Vi was a whole vibe--super sweet,…read morefriendly, and really helped my hubby and me decide on what to order since it was our first visit. She made us feel right at home. Now let's talk food... the brisket was out of this world! Tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of smokiness. Paired with the coleslaw (so fresh and delicious) and their BBQ sauce that was sweet but not overpowering, the whole combo was dynamite. I even had to snap a "before" pic of the plate--and let's just say the "after" pic didn't survive because it was THAT good! They were out of dessert during our visit, but I'll definitely be back to try that cinnamon and lemon pound cake that customers around us were raving about. Big shoutout to Vi and to Penelope (I believe she was the cook that day) for serving up not just a meal, but an experience. The layout was super cool and very clean. I never knew this place was in Alpine but I found my new barbecue spot. Definitely come and support as they are a hidden gem We'll 100% be back soon--thanks again for the warm hospitality and amazing food!

    Hey, Yelp Community! If you're looking for the BEST BBQ and Soul Food restaurant in East County,…read moreJay's Southern Cafe is the go-to spot. My brisket sandwich with a special BBQ sauce was hands down the most amazing brisket sandwich I've had. OMG, that BBQ sauce was an added yummy flavorful touch along with the fresh creamy coleslaw...the combo sooo finger-lickin' good. The young man's customer service was top notch with a smile. I didn't have to wait. Thank you!! Whenever you're in the area, you have to stop by to eat some delicious authentic Southern food and support a local family-owned business. It's Alpine BEST kept foodie secret.

    Ria isn't just a bartender -- she's the whiskey whisperer, the cocktail queen, the tiny Hawaiian…read moreassassin behind the bar serving drinks so good they'll make you rethink your entire personality. Beautiful, hilarious, cool without trying, and somehow always wearing the most fire shoes in the building. She's the kind of bartender that turns "let's grab one drink" into "well damn, now we live here." Every cocktail was perfect, every recommendation hit, and her energy honestly makes the whole place. Protect Ria at all costs because that girl is a whole vibe. I Wish her all The health and the wealth and if yall don't give this woman a BONUS and a raise- i'm going on strike ;)

    I love everything about this place. The BBQ is insanely good - I have had everything from the…read morepulled pork sandwich to the tri tip to the sausage sandwich, and all of the sides. Everything is INSANE. I've even interviewed the "meat guys" who hang out with the giant smokers in the back lot and basically babysit the meat 24/7. They take their job very seriously, and it shows in the quality of the meat! The bartender made me a mezcal margarita once, and I had three that night and now think of them often. It's what gets me back in the door here. The mezcal marg and the meat. The live music is always awesome. We came recently and saw the Blind Miles Blues Band play - their vibe fit with the ambiance of the restaurant so well. It was awesome that our kids were able to run around and play while we ate dinner and talked. I am SO thankful for a restaurant that has food this good that also freely welcomes families with kids! Our waiter that night, Bryce, was awesome. He was SO attentive and so patient and kind when we had a bunch of requests for extra everything. We'll probably request him next time, he was that cool. Can't say enough good things about this place. I already can't wait to come back again!

    Heard about Guilty BBQ from a coworker who ordered all the fixings for Thanksgiving, so we decided…read moreto give them a try for Christmas Eve--and I'm glad we did. Our pickup was at 10 a.m. in Alpine. We grabbed two briskets and two racks of ribs, tucked them into a cooler, and wrapped everything in a blanket for the drive home. By lunchtime, the meat was still hot. The brisket was perfectly cooked--juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, just the way they should be. The baked beans were solid and rounded out the meal nicely, though I wouldn't have complained about a little extra BBQ sauce. Surprisingly, the brisket was even better on day two, probably because it had a full day to rest and soak in all that flavor. Overall, the food was excellent and absolutely worth the money. We'll definitely be back.

    My husband and I wanted local catering for our small Alpine wedding. We were so excited to partner…read morewith Guilty BBQ. Prices were good, service was awesome, and the whole process went so smoothly! Everybody loved the food and we even got to box up some leftovers for the rest of the week. Somehow still tasted 10/10 even after re-heating, haha. You guys are amazing and would love to use you for future events! Thanks for making this day special for us.
