Food is delicious, and everything was from scratch! Chicken fried steak was so good and the blueberry pancakes were amazing

My husband and I tried out Biscuits & Jamz for the first time today...and when I tell you our visit was fantastic, I sincerely mean it! The atmosphere in the restaurant and the food had me feeling all the nostalgic vibes of growing up eating my maw-maw's good down home cooking. The whole staff was kind and welcoming, our waitress was ShaDay and she was so kind and attentive. You can tell the staff all genuinely care about the quality of their food and their customers' experiences at their restaurant. The food was phenomenal and worth every penny. My husband had the fried pork chop breakfast which also came with cheesy grits, country potatoes, a biscuit and diner's choice eggs; he chose over easy eggs. Every single thing on his plate had great flavor! We taste tested each other's plates, and we both agreed that there wasn't a single bite that left us disappointed. I felt my soul leave my body when I dipped a piece of that homemade biscuit in the owner's homemade strawberry jam! ShaDay told us that the owner makes all the jams herself and rotates the flavors out periodically. The owner deserves an award for those jams because my husband licked those little ramekins clean; it was that good. I'm grateful ShaDay brought us another jam too, so I could also enjoy the jam with my food; that's how quick he finished off his jam. I had the F Biscuit which was just as flavorful and delicious. The F Biscuit is a breakfast sandwich where they dip the biscuits in French toast batter then grill it before putting the sandwich altogether with fried eggs, cheese, bourbon bacon onion jam, and a sausage link (or substitute for chicken, which I did and it was a great choice.) Every bite was flavorful, and the jam was also an out of this world enhancement to the French toast biscuit as well. Biscuits & Jamz is a 5-star experience all the way around, from the staff, to the food, to the environment, to the pricing. The prices were very fair for the portions of food you get while still being very affordable. Don't walk. RUNNNNN to Biscuits & Jamz! You won't be disappointed! read more

Everything about this place is great!! The staff is super friendly and accommodating and the food is AMAZING! Some of the best grits I have ever had, and the bourbon peach pepper jam is indescribable! A must stop in Lake Charles. read more

We found this place rather randomly and stopped in. There were eight of us, two families, and that was a lot for the small space. I think they even mentioned calling ahead, but we didn't know the size of the place, being on a road trip. The food was good, we met a sweet little boy in there who was our kids age. Totally recommend a small business over a chain any day. read more

We're Houstonians who come in each chance we can. Please be aware there will be a wait since it's a local small business but definitely worth the wait. The food always has a homemade taste with each dish like their waffles, hash, and especially their homemade biscuits and jams!! Every visit they have a new jam to taste. The Josh and Pork chop plate will always be our go-to order read more

My husband had the jambalaya grits, and I ordered the BJ Breakfast. The grits were excellent--flavorful. We were both happy with our meals overall. Unfortunately, the biscuits were a major letdown: dry, crumbly, and surprisingly bad. The strawberry and blueberry peach jams were watery and unappetizing. We'd return just for the grits--they were that good. The exterior of the place isn't very inviting and the neighborhood feels a bit rough, but if you're in the mood for some really good grits, it's worth a visit. We were visiting from Texas and would come back again--but only for the grits. The biscuits and jam were a real disappointment. read more

This place ranks Top 5 for me. Unassuming location with the Southern hospitality. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent. We had the Sloppy Biscuit (Picture not taken because I destroyed it before the waiter placed the plate on my table), Jambalaya Grits (Pictured here) and Sloppy Hash (Also pictured here). Scott was great and I have nothing negative to say about this spot. I would recommend this spot and we will be back. They only open till Noon so get there early. read more

Total Yelp find on a recent trip to Lake Charles. Came from Texas to visit some famous chef's steakhouse on my birthday weekend. We stayed just over the bridge in Westlake. Saturday morning we awoke looking for coffee and the all important breakfast before we went for that big fancy $$$$ dinner. We arrived just in time to avoid the wait; this place obviously has a local reputation. My mom immediately exclaimed how good the coffee was. That would be a secret blend of Folgers and Jim Beam coffee mixed in. Let me tell you friends, there is Walmart purchased condiments on every table. What they do with them is glorious. The secret ingredient is Cajun love. My Ashley omelette had bacon, link sausage, shrimp, jalapenos, onion and bell pepper. Four eggs not three; paired with one of the best cheesy grits I've ever had. My mom HATES grits..She loved this version. Man boy had the chicken and waffles. GF had the Shuggah hash Mom had the BJ omelette. All perfectly presented southern love on a plate. By the time we left folks were parking behind other cars so nobody ahead of them could leave. Possibly the best breakfast find in Louisiana. read more

Amazing black owned restaurant! It's located in a neighborhood in Lake Charles so don't think your GPS is off. I went and truly enjoyed the music and vibe of the restaurant. I ordered the seafood grits with shrimp, imitation crab meat, and sausage over creamy gouda grits with a fried fish filled. Sooooo good. That fish was fried to a golden brown and the batter on it was good! I also had a waffle and a homemade biscuit which both were good. The service was ok, the young lady was nice. 9/10, I'll be back again. read more

We stopped in here for Sunday brunch. It was packed and we had quite a wait, but it was worth it! It's the stuff dreams are made of and both of us can't wait to go back! I ordered half sweet tea half lemonade with half blueberry and half blackberry flavoring (jam). It was too sweet! So the waiter offered a do over with unsweetened tea and that was much better. It was tasty and quite refreshing, but I'd probably try 2/3 lemonade with 1/3 unsweet tea next time. My date ordered the Fish and Grits topped with Fried Shrimp. I tasted it and it was in my top 2 best grits I've tasted of all time. Super tasty and luscious with just the right amount of richness. The fried catfish filet was perfect and the side of bacon was perfectly crisped up and yummy of course. I tried the biscuit leftover and it wasn't good enough to make me want to order it again. With patient guidance from our awesome waiter, I ordered the Peach Chicken & Waffles. The waffles were perfectly soft, the chicken was tasty and the sauce was the bombdotcom. I enjoyed the leftovers just as much and was sad I didn't have more left to eat on after I finished them off, but I want to try the Bacon Banana Stuffed French Toast next time. read more

I'll keep this short and to the point: make sure you have breakfast/brunch here when you're in the Lake Charles area. Boudain Hash was phenomenal! Seasoned well, and the flavors all work together amazingly. 10/10 The Kari is a salmon croquette, on top of a fried cheesy-grit cake, topped with Chipotle shrimp, and love. Biscuit was homemade, buttery, and excellent. 9.5/10 Pancake (not pictured, but I mowed through it quickly) - perfect....crispy edges, fluffy center. 10/10 Service: Everyone was friendly and accomodating. Very attentive and even asked how our experience was. Id ggo back, even if the food was medicore, for them. The food being amazing was the cherry on top. 11/10 We went around 9:30 on a Saturday, and there was a wait of about 45 minutes. Worth every minute. Don't sleep on this gem, trust me. Get there without delay. read more

Biscuits & Jamz - Empty parking lot - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

Nice find! Small locally owned restaurant at its best. Although the Yelp directions gave us a trip around the block (turn into the parking lot before the corner it says to turn on), this clean & friendly location was well worth it. After asking if any wheat was used in cooking the omelets & receiving verification from the cook that there wasn't, I ordered an omelet that was chock full of meat & deliciousness. Came with a side of cheesy grits that were AMAZING! I forgot to tell the waitress to not include a biscuit on my plate, but my sensitivity is not that great so my husband added it to his plate. He ordered the fried pork chop breakfast and was equally wowed by it. Servings were so large that neither of us finished cleaned our plates & it held us over until supper. If there was a downside, it was the fact that the small wait staff was multi-tasking and took a while to seat people. It all made sense when I heard the waitress tell another customer that the business was owned/run by the man cooking and that the kitchen closed at 12:30 p.m. The dedication is evident in this great place to dine for a delicious, slow-paced breakfast. read more

We got here at 10:25. Lots of people in and out, so we were prepared to wait. We had never been, so we didn't know if service was usually slow. We ordered 5 minutes after getting there. 50 minutes after arriving, we just got up and left after seeing many people get their food before us. The waitress who was very nice tried to get us to come back while seeing us leave. Unfortunately I can't comment on the food, but we were definitely forgotten. We are so disappointed! We were looking forward to it after seeing the other positive reviews. read more

What can I say? It's a little bit out-of-the-way for me but well worth the trip. The biscuits were just the best you could ever have had a apple jam that came with it. That was just perfect and the food all the food the food is being created by God's Masters of the craft. It's a little bit of an older place down in the neighborhood, but like I said, you'll see the parking outside. It's worth the trip. read more

Al and Marilyn have an outstanding little... but growing restaurant in the Lake Charles area. The service is always polite and the food is outstanding. The pancakes are a must try and their spin on Southern Classics are great. I tried the sloppy grits and added an extra egg and it might be my new favorite. Coming from San Antonio, TX you may say, "what do I know?" you're right, but my Cajun family may have some credibility Thank you Marilyn and Al for the food and service! read more

Came 40 mins before closing but a server stated they were no longer taking orders. Was unable to get seated and eat. Very disappointing.

The food here was amazing! Friendly and fast service. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping in for breakfast/brunch. Our family of 4 had the Boudin Hash, chicken and waffles, Ka'le Hash, the Josh and Banana Nut pancakes. SO Yum! read more

Oh my!!! Excellent breakfast! The coffee is just a highlight but the food is wonderful! Highly recommend!

These are some of the best biscuits I've had outside my own families kitchens. They remind me of the ones my dad made during my childhood. Fluffy flaky and perfectly salted. They melt in your mouth and are accompanied by delicious homemade jam. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Biscuits & Jamz - Boudin hash, Double Bacon Cheeseburger & a waffle on the side! So good!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

Everybody knows everybody at this quaint Southern diner that's on the outskirts of Lake Charles. The menu is comfort food heaven, complete with fluffy-fresh, piping-hot biscuits that appear out of the ether approximately every four minutes. (Seriously, I don't know how they keep up. And if you don't slather it with their blueberry pepper jam, we can't be friends.) On the day I visited, the server touted the chicken and waffles, which is always a safe go-to breakfast staple. She then pointed out that if I wanted to up the ante, I might want to try their peach cobbler chicken and waffles. Readers, I died. Resurrected. And died again. The crispy, but not too crispy waffle alone engulfed the plate and was liberally doused with crumbly peach cobbler and chunks of peppery chicken tenders. When I grabbed the bottle of syrup, other patrons at the restaurant gasped. Apparently, this dish is sacred and doesn't need syrup. Actually, it doesn't need anything--other than for you to unhinge your jaw. Whether or not this is a recurring dish or part of the permanent menu remains to be seen. But, either way, whatever waffle o' the day they offer is mandatory. (And you better eat their biscuits like you're carbo-loading for a marathon the next day.) read more

The food was absolutely amazing and everything was fresh. The customer service was also great. I wish I would've gotten the young lady's names that took care of us. They were both very professional and pleasant. We were seated fairly quickly which was a surprise because all of the reviews that I read prior to going stated otherwise. My only complaint is that once our order was taken our wait time for our food was pretty long but as I mentioned the food was hot and fresh so it was worth the wait. read more

Highly recommended!! The food was sooo good; I had the seafood grits made with Gouda cheese and topped with sautéed shrimp, imitation crab meat, and sausage with just the right amount of spice. The service was excellent and the staff extremely friendly. I definitely will be back and have already begun to spread the word. We were cautioned that on a Sunday there is often an hour wait without a reservation; might want to try a weekday to avoid the weekend rush. read more

This is a hidden gem. Great customer service- friendly staff. This is not your ordinary run of the mill place. All of our food was served hot and fresh. Grits were amazing just the way they were served. A must try is the hot peach jelly - both blueberry and peach were amazing. The peach reminded me of a warm peach cobbler. In the short amount of time I was there, the owners exhibited Core Values of Caring by assisting one of the members in the community. RUN don't walk to Biscuit and Jamz. I will be back. read more

Food was amazing!!! I had the F Biscuit and it was fabulous. I went with chicken. Loved the bourbon peach compote and bacon jam. I with they sold it in jars so I could carry some home to Texas. Servers were friendly. Atmosphere was humble. Funny and inspiring wall signs inside. Established in what used to be a corner store. GPS brought us directly to the location, but we weren't sure we had the right place. read more
