Decent food in a nice little town. I had the enchilladas and they were not bad, but not great. My buddy liked his chicken sandwich alot. The service was a little slow but the place is pretty cool. Lots of interesting stuff from the town on the walls. All in all, not bad. read more

Came up to the area for a family wedding and my family and I ended up going back to Cafe Jax all 3 mornings we were in town. Every server we got was wonderful, especially Jon Jon, and kept us coming back for more. The Megan omelette and Eggs Benjamin were especially excellent. read more

Café Jax is known for breakfast, which is actually pretty good. Eureka, Montana is a small town, and this is definitely a locals-preferred eatery. Obviously, they will serve people from out of town, but we found the service diminished while watching all the locals being catered to. Locals get table touches from the owner, while we sit and watched. On trying to pay the bill, the owner encouraged and allowed a local to cut in line, pay first, and told me I would be next. When he was done with the local, he walked away and bused a table... total snub. After waiting another several minutes, one of the other employees finally took my money. The irony of all this is that my family crest founded this town. read more

Café Jax is the place to eat in Eureka! Friendly staff and amazing food!!! Loved the decor and entire theme. Even though they're the busiest place in town, they do an excellent job making sure you're waited on. I highly recommend cafe jax!!! read more

Cafe Jax - Great decor!!! - Diners Near Me - Eureka, Montana

Greatest place in town to eat and enjoy the company of friends and family, while taking in the true spirit of this small but very quaint and special town. With Portions always requiring a to-go box, a staff that seems to have genuine pride in the service in which they provide, "The Jax's is an A+. With the flare of a 1950's locally owned cafe, this current day locally owned cafe will leave you feeling full in the tummy, but also full of happiness. read more

The food is homemade and fresh, very good. Great prices also :) You need to have a huckleberry shake! read more

Well we've been here over an hour and we still haven't gotten our food. There are virtually no customers so we dont understand the HORRIBLE SLOW service. Wish we had gone elsewhere read more

A great find during our drive from Canada to Montana. Shakes are amazing as was my burger. Has a nice small town feel to it.

Cafe Jax used to be much better than it is today. I remember as a child it was awesome! Since then the service has gone down hill and the quality of food has also gone down hill. 3 reasons you MUST eat at Jax! 1) hard to find parking (you know a place is good when it's hard to find parking, or that it's one of the only places to eat in the small town of Eureka) 2) food actually takes 2 hrs to come out (lots of time to talk with friends) 3) no butter on toast (healthier... If you are into that sort of thing) read more

I just drove in from Canada for work. I'm from Texas and I was waiting for a good hearty meal once I crossed back into the states. I was not disappointed by Jax. I ordered the biscuit and gravy and it was delicious. The bacon was thick and cook perfectly. I'm giving it three stars for the service. The hostess was nice but the waitstaff needs some upgrading. My tea was never refilled. Also a draw back is no dessert is offered on the menu? read more

We were here on 8/16/14. I would have given 5 stats for the food alone. I had a burger that was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. You could tell everything was freshly made. The reason for 4 stars is it's very confusing when you walk in. This is a 'seat yourself' place however there are no signs that tell you this. You end up with a traffic jam in the front area of people clearly confused on what to do. And while the service is very good once seated they kind of ignore you when you are standing looking lost and confused at the entry. My recommendation avoid the front of the restaurant, walk around to the outdoor seating and grab a spot. They'll see you soon enough. Covered patio seating available. read more

Great breakfast ! Bacon was excellent. The best strawberry raspberry jam . Definitely would go back .

Staying at The Wilderness Club where the food was dismal and vowed not to eat there again. Went to Jax with our group of 8 and the food and service was fantastic with amazing home cooked food and jam and great service. Highly recommend. read more

If you're coming to Cafe Jax, don't plan on eating anything for a month or two prior to arriving. The portions are simply gargantuan, especially if you opt for a shake (which you should). After over a week of appalling prices at restaurants on the Canadian side, the amount of food you can get for your dollar here is outstanding. They make a killer burger, too! I personally applaud the Build-Your-Own option. Don't forget the bacon! The waitress had some trouble getting my shake order for some reason, and my friends had to wait for me to finish after they were long done. Still, it's worth a stop. read more

I'm giving Cafe Jax two stars because I have had some good experiences here. I drive down to Kalispell frequently and stop in at this small town dinner often. Usually it's pretty standard, not great but decent. Yesterday, I stopped in to grab two chocolate malts and had a bad experience. The angry girl making the malts ran out of ice cream and divided what she had left between the two and used extra half n half which made the Malta horribly running. She also didn't have enough for both so she only partially filled the second and said so when she handed it to us. Not impressed. I think I'll hold out for Kalispell or Fernie next time. read more

I have never in my life had worse service than I did here. It was an hour and forty five minutes between the time we walked in the door until the time we actually received our cheeseburgers and onion rings. In the meantime, we were patently ignored and avoided by our waitress. The food was fine, but words can't express how terrible the service and overall experience were. If I could give them negative stars I would. read more

My whole family loves jax. There eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy are to die for. They also have a Greek feta dressing that I crave it's so good. Laid back, family atmosphere there's a reason it's always packed. read more

No idea how the food is, stopped by with my family. There were 7 of us. It was busy, like most small town breakfast and lunch places on a Sunday. After 10 min a waitress came to our table, literally throws 2 menus down (for 7 of us) and mumbles they are short menus. Then she leaves. A nice young lady brings us waters and ask for other drinks, she wasn't out waitress but obviously trying to help. After 30 minutes we still haven't placed orders nor seen the waitress in our corner of the place. I finally walked up to the cashier and I informed them we have been sat for 40 minutes without placing an order. He apologized, offered our drinks (coffee and 2 milks) for free. But does absolutely nothing to convince us to stay, take our order, get us service. I paid for the drinks (looking for a meal, not a handout) and left. Will never go back, food is probably decent but service is some of he worst I've ever seen. It's a shame. Seems like they've figured out that lack of competition means they only have to be open, not good. read more

Our party of 5 has never experienced such hospitality and genuine kindness from staff before! The food was *SUPERB*! The presentation as well as the taste was incredible. The pasta is made from scratch and the baked brie appetizer was off the chart. The atmosphere was quaint and decorated in a unique style. Words can't even begin to describe the delicious-ness of the desserts!!! Thanks John for going above and beyond in all your service! -Happy Customers who will be returning in the near future!!! read more

The atmosphere of this cafe is very inviting and we were seated by a pleasant staff. This café offers very cheap meals like $5 sandwiches, still served with fries. The staff is very friendly and I had an overall pleasant experience. read more

Cafe Jax is a wonderful restaurant. The pancakes were a hit as we celebrated my sons birthday. Also, the service was wonderful as we had a large group. We were provided ample space in the back room and the server was spot on with taking care of our group. I would highly recommend Jax! read more

The pizza is as good as I've had ANYWHERE! The ingredients are fresh and prepared with care. Topping choices are interesting and delicious, I can't wait to go back! They also have wings, handcrafted shakes, and top-notch salad options. read more

Great milkshakes. Received cold rings, but was rectified once brought to the waitresses attention!

One of the best places we've visited in all of Montana. Great live music on a Saturday night. Great menu. The people around us were also very complimentary of all of the aspects of the evening. read more

Great place in a remote small town. Good food at reasonable prices! I had an excellent wild salmon plank cooked dinner for $20, which would have been over $30 in Seattle or San Francisco. Friendly good service even when very busy! read more

For being in a small town on the border of Canada this place is a must visit. Great food and milk shakes.

Friendly, homey atmosphere and good food. Meats we're all delicious, over-easy eggs cooked perfectly, omelette on pointe, really great homemade strawberry/raspberry jam to go with generous toast portions. read more

Cafe JAX, a small and well established cafe. The young ladies that work there are great, and the manager (Steph) is awesome! It gets busy really quick, so be patient...it will pay off! My family and I frequent JAX because we feel right at home there. If I had only one criticism, it would be that I would like to see better attention to the quality in which the food is cooked, other than that JAX is worthy of your patronage; whether you're a resident or a passerby. GO LIONS! read more

Service is good... food is.... moderate to good... but it is a great place for shakes... and a fun little berg

Great cute small town diner. Food is standard diner fare, nothing outstanding but not greasy. Service can be slow. Live music at the weekends during summer. read more

Simply a great place to eat...anytime. Service is always excellent and whether it's hot or cold outside...order a malt!!!

I love cafe jax!!! I'm from Canada but whenever we make a trip down we stop in either for some lifetime free coffee as we bought some to go mugs which they are so friendly about getting filled up or for a great breakfast. I'm not a huge fan of there crazy summer dinner menu as I'm a very basic girl, but there breakfast is to die for. Well worth the wait, what do you expect from a small restaurant that is constantly packed with people. The atmosphere is amazing and everybody is super friendly I can't wait for my next trip down to eureka cafe jax is calling my name. My personal favourite is the realtor it's one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. read more

Had the Jax Rueben with the daily soup special. Delicious rye and good portion of sauerkraut on the reuben. We also ordered milkshakes which were big and very good. I had a chocolate peanut butter milkshake. THe hauckleberry shake looked pretty awesome too. Pretty interesting classic cafe decor. Would like to check out the patio one night when they have live music. read more

Great lunch spot in Eureka. Funky decor, super tasty burger and the huckleberry milkshake was amazing!

Great salads and the best huckleberry milkshake you can imagine. The locals come in and get it to go. They also have good lunch food. Great service and inexpensive. I brought my dog and tied it to the gate outside the outdoor patio, the servers came out and brought him ice water. read more

fresh, healthy and great tasting meals in a comfortable environment. Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy your visit because the service isn't the fastest but it IS worth the wait! read more

Great atmosphere and service. Was not really busy, but ordered meal for fam of four and food came out hot and quickly. Had the Lawyer salad (Cobb) soup of the day- creamy tomato and killer French fries. They gave an extensive menu and prices are reasonable. Great milkshakes ... Big and tasty. Definitely worth the stop! read more

Let me start of by saying that I'm from this area. My parents go here for breakfast and lunch all the time, and I went to high school in Eureka. However, I was APPALED by the service that my friend and I received while we were there. First off, like another reviewer said, it took them a good half an hour to even come talk to us in a practically EMPTY restaurant, which was pretty ridiculous in the first place. Then, our waitress finally decided to grace us with her presence and she asked "What do you want?" in such a snotty tone, full with eye rolling and sneering. She was being rude to us just because we looked like out of towners. Hello! Last time I checked, you make the majority of your summer business from tourists, so you better be nice! Our food took forever, and we also had to ask for ketchup because there wasn't any at our table. That alone took 5 minutes. We were there for over an hour and a half. I don't know what took so long, considering there were two other tables. The only thing I can think of it that they decided we were tourists and were treating us rudely. Very frustrating to me since I've eaten here several times and my family frequents this establishment. I'm only giving it two stars because I have had okay service and food here in the past, apparently when I didn't "look" like a tourist to them. read more

Food was good. Waiting over an hour for a small breakfast and lunch was not acceptable.

Very standard food for this type of restaurant. The place was busy. We waited over and hour and a half for a kid's meal and a quesadilla. I don't care how busy you are, that's too long. Our server was friendly. I would eat here again, because there is not much to choose from in Eureka, but only if I had all day with not much else planned. read more
