We stopped in cause everyone talks about this place and their amazing breakfast! We were seated as soon as we walked in and our server didn't take long at all. Sean our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and we ended up going with his recommendation, which was perfect. The people there were very sweet and everyone greeted us that made eye contact. I was very impressed with Sean and his attentiveness. We will be back and asking for him! read more

The perfect hangover meal ! I highly recommend the tres laches pancakes and the verde chilaquiles ! Amazing !!!! There was a bunch of parking outside and I was sat down right away since we were a party of 4. Our sever was very nice and helpful in explaining the menu! I even took some to go since the portions are so big and ate it later and they were still yummy !! Can't wait to come back !! read more

Was wanting some breakfast food yesterday and found JJ's Cafe on Yelp, so a trip there was made. It was packed with a 30 min wait, but we got seated afterwards. The interior reminds of a wedding venue with tables not spread too far apart. I ordered the Crazymely Waffle (has strawberries, bananas, Nutella, and whipped cream) and O'Brien potatoes (potatoes with bell peppers and onions) with a request for crispier potatoes. I was completely blown away and not prepared in any way for how delicious these things were! The waffle was crispy yet soft. They actually added a lot of fruit on the waffle, and with the Nutella and whipped cream, I can assure you syrup is not necessary because it is sweet enough to me. The potatoes were also really crisp and salted very nicely and were not undercooked! I also had a bite of the tres leches pancake which was delicious and may be the next thing I get here! The prices here are incredible! Everything in the photos cost under $30. I only ate half the waffle and had to take the rest home. I don't think you can get high-quality food like this for low prices ($10 for the waffle was insanely cheap)! The service here was good, even if there wasn't anything memorable about it. Also, JJ's Cafe serves lunch (the catfish in particular looked real good) which I want to try one day. Overall, this cannot be the last time I come to JJ's. They are far too good to not try! This was a fabulous hole-in-the-wall type of place, and I am so glad this place is officially on my food radar. Please visit this place if you want great, cheap breakfast! I will definitely be back here sooner than later! read more

Good food, fast service, and everyone was nice. The vibe is very homey perfect for weekend brunch with family

Service and food is absolutely amazing! Great vibes. Family environment but still for everyone

Delicious food and great service. Would definitely recommend it if you are in the area. Nice clean restaurant with a good vibe.

Plenty of parking. Went on a Sunday around 10am, there was 8 of us. The wait was about 30 min, not bad for a large group on the weekend. It seemed to be kind of busy. We finally sat down and the service seemed to be good, they got our drinks out quickly and the server seemed to be knowledgeable. I asked for chilaquiles verdes and asked if the chicken was shredded, he said yes so I asked him to add it. Before our food arrived there were 4 flies flying around our table (we were in the back in the corner). We asked if they could kill the flies and they said no because they might fly onto a customers plate. We asked to be moved they said we would have to wait another 30 minutes. They also said they were very aware of all the flies but couldn't do anything about it. A table opened up and we moved. When we got our food, a couple of plates were wrong. The chicken was chicken fajita strips, not shredded. When one of the plates was taken back to be fixed (birria tacos), they never brought it back. When we asked them to take it off the table they said they don't even serve birria. After we moved, we had different people coming to our table to give us service and no one knew what was going on. One server told us they didn't have salsa, then another brought salsa to our table. They also gave us our tab as soon as we got our plates. Very weird. The food was bland. Overall, not a good experience and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Early Sunday breakfast Tiki Hubby had the chicken fried steak with two eggs hash browns and sourdough toast. Not one of the best CFS but it was good served hot and fresh. I had to order the Crunchy French toast, soooo good fluffy bread covered in cornflakes and sliced almonds cooked crispy and crunchy. Delicious served with syrup but comes covered in powdered sugar so sweet enough as is. read more

We got there at a good time for a Sat morning. We were greeted and sat down almost immediately. The waitress came by and took drink orders and kept coming back until we were ready to order. She was very attentive. The environment was very inviting. Now, for the food, words do not describe how AMAZING all the food was from the first bite to the last. If you are in Dallas, please do stop by here, you will not regret it. read more

Went to JJ's cafe for the first time and I ordered the chilaquiles which were okay. The salsa was not too spicy and the chicken was a bit dry. I also ordered some pumpkin pancakes and I will say those are some of the best pancakes I've had. The pumpkin flavor is there and not overly sweet. Will definitely be coming back for those pancakes. Our waiter was amazing he took care of us well and for our order in super quickly. Food came out pretty fast! Keep in mind that the restaurant does get pretty busy so there will be a bit of a wait but overall they seated us pretty quickly. read more

Great Service ! Delicious food ! Worth the wait on a busy Sunday morning. Our waiter was Juan and he did a great job , love when a waiter plays along with classic dad jokes. Highly recommend the red salsa chilaquiles and Belgian Waffles! Great ambiance too! Spacious layout read more

I am sometimes amazed at reviews on here. Then again, perhaps I caught this place on a bad day when the regular staff and cooks were off. We had just missed the posted breakfast buffet times by 20 minutes and we were shown to a table. The place was about 1/4 full. The mirrors made it seem bigger than it was. There is a large adjacent room closed off with a sliding partition and people were filtering into it. The furniture reminded me of a large Chinese Buffet. After what seemed like they gave us time to memorize the order, they took our order. I ordered the Country Scramble and a short stack of pancakes. My iced tea set a bad tone as it had a funky taste and I don't mean funky good like Niles Rodgers or George Clinton. I bet they would have agreed. The food came out somewhat quickly as we discovered the buffet was still open and our waitress didn't even give us that option. My scramble looked way better than it was. The potatoes were cold and the green peppers tasted old. The eggs were slightly over cooked. The pancakes were crumbly in a soft way. Service was slow and had to be reminded to bring syrup and refills more than 2 times. Not a good encounter this time. read more

I came in today for lunch. Food was good, server was nice. When it came time to pay , I checked in to use the 10% off they have advertised on Yelp, they did not take it and I spoke to the manager SANDRA and she was rude & not apologetic at all, she didn't care and walked away . Why have the 10% off check in if they're not going to accept it! I was very disappointed ! read more

JJs is an institution here in the Old Lake Highlands/ Lake Highlands area. Food has been consistently good. I come here a couple times a month. Service the staff is friendly and accommodating. Ambiance, here's where things have kind of gone down hill a bit. Kids running around unsupervised. Loud noisy family gatherings. Long waits dirty tables because they are rushing to clear the table for the next guest. My most recent visit I discovered a gross syrupy stain on my clothes probably from the chair I was sitting in. I can't recommend coming here on the weekends. Weekdays seem to be more pleasant here. I know much of my experience here in the weekends was tainted by the clientele, nothing the restaurant can really control. read more

We came with a big group this morning for breakfast. I had the California egg's Benedict's with hash brown and also coffee. They were good. The only pet peeve is that I came from Allen area through 635 going east, and the constructions are everywhere along 635 East now. Just drive carefully if you take that route. It's a good restaurant and I'd go back again soon. read more

Came here for Sunday brunch. They have a buffet on Saturday and Sunday with build your own mimosa bar til 130pm. The atmosphere is as anti hipster as it comes. Familied with kids and a good deal of seniors enjoying themselves. I was cracking up at the older couple taking turns on who was going to go get the next mimosas. Atmosphere looks like a banquet hall and they do cater I see. Service was just OK so they lose a star. Most everyone got the buffet so not much was needed but slow to refill water, slow to clear plates/glasses, and a little stingy with the napkins. Food was above average. French toast was delicious. Really wasn't able to eat much since my belly was still messed up from bad food Saturday brunch. See my pic for full menu but great selection of breakfast and lunch items for $11.50. Endless mimosas. This is a steal and not crowded Sunday brunch time read more

We called ahead to reserve a table and they allowed us! Once we arrived we were already on teh list and were seated immidiatley getting there. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros , Green chilaquiles w/ Birria, and an american breakfast. First the Huevos rancheros were good and spicy, the menu says it comes with some torillas but my sister was never given any, and when asked the lady said it was on the bottom of the eggs - just a little confused. I had teh green chilaquiles and they were okay, not spicy and the birria was actually good. They gave me a small cup on the size of it - it was well flavored, again no tortillas with mine either. The portions were okay would have like more beans but the flavors and dish were good! the American breakfast was simple just eggs and hashbrowns with sauges links. Was really busy when we left and there was a line to pay to get out the door with only one girl at the register. It made it on our list to try again when we come back to Dallas. read more

I really had high hopes for this place as im big on reading reviews prior to going to eat anywhere. Took forever before someone came to ask us about drinks. The waitress was an older lady seemed like she was hard of hearing. We were sat down before a party of 6 and it took over an hour for our food to come out. I had drank 2 cups of coffee and still no food. Our food came out at the same time as the party of 6. My chilaquiles were all soggy and steak overcooked and prob like room temp. You could tell it was sitting up there and no one had brought it out. The girl who brought our food was not even our waitress. My husband asked for red onions on his burger and it was missing. Plus it was cold and the bread was soggy. Also, his cheeseburger had shredded cheese on it. Not sure if this is a Texas thing.. but was very odd. Then, she leaves our check at the table along with bringing the food. Is that normal? I've never seen that in Chicago. That to me speaks like eat and get out. Like we're not gonna be checked on after that. Plus we didn't to be honest. I was gonna ask for a to go cup but no one was around so we just left. This is exactly how i left my plate. Not even worth eating. Do better. read more

Wow this is a hidden gem in Dallas! We had the Super Chilaquiles with Birria meat, and also elected to have both red and green salsas on our chilaquiles. We were in heaven with that plate alone, but then tried the crunchy French toast that has sliced almost and corn flakes cooked on to the bread. The crunchiness of this dish was amazing. Our waiter was attentive and the cooks were fast to deliver. I'd give this a 9.7 out of 10. I would've been a 10 if our iced caramel macchiato had better caramel flavor. read more

Came in here after seeing so many posts about this place. It was near my home and actually never passed by the area. They have a salon in the side as well that they use as restaurant space and you can also rent it for events. It was Sunday and the lovely waitress mentioned menudo and I thought why not. The menudo was very good the spices were on point and not chewy at all. My wife and I had to get an order of the tres leches pancakes and omg that stuff right there is delicious. My wife ordered the huevos divorciados which were eggs fried on top of corn tortillas smothered in green and red sauce. Over all the place was excellent and will be back I highly recommend to it come check them read more

After several years we returned to this place after hearing that it has improved. I suppose that is true: from abysmal before to average now. It remains a modest restaurant. On the positive side, it is mostly clean. But my fork was dirty as I found out upon being seated. Not a good start. For Sunday, it offers off the menu or break buffet options. We opted for off the menu. The food remains mediocre. My eggs were so well done that they could be used for basketballs. The sausage patties were ok but warm rather than hot. The O'Brien potatoes were ok. I suspect that our food sat for a while before it was brought to our table. The wife's sunny side up were cooked to perfection. The bacon was crispy as requested. Her potatoes tasted funky. The service was slow. Yet again people who came in after us were served way before us. It seems to be a theme in our lives. At least the waitress pointed us to cheaper options so she was trying to save us some money. But she was not attentive, never asking how the food was and not coming by for refills on coffee. The coffee, by the way, was not good. I think it will be a few years before we return to this place. read more
