First visit and sadly our last. Food was pretty typical of a cafe but sadly like many others they charge a fee for credit cards which is 100% deductible on their tax returns, in other words they are charging the customer for something that they actually get back. This trend needs to stop. If you don't mind or carry cash it's a nice place to eat. read more

I almost hate to write this review, because this place is already so busy, but I won't be selfish. This is a small local owned eatery that is only open for breakfast and lunch. They are always very busy especially on Saturday and Sundays. They have amazing omelets that are very well served. When asked what type of cheese you want, there is right choice in my opinion and that is their own Jack cheese sauce. That sauce is so good. I could just eat it by itself. Today we had the meat omelet with the cheese sauce with the country potatoes (I also added cheese sauce) and a fresh baked biscuit. Simply amazing. read more

JJ is fantastic! Her restaurant is super friendly, bright, cheerful, and had great food! Absolutely the go-to for a great breakfast here in Rockport! She was out server for a party of 10. What other owner takes the largest group in the place?!? The hot chocolate for my granddaughter was not only delicious, but a beautiful presentation of whipped cream, chocolate drizzle and cinnamon dust. The hash cake was perfect. The "Bodacious" omelette was Bodacious. The pork chops were perfect! Grilled with coarse pepper and lightly salted they were still very juicy and tender! The pancakes light and fluffy. The bacon was nice and meaty. Even down to the little packs of jelly on the table that included not just grape and strawberry but apple, orange marmalade, and blackberry. So many delicious options and so much detail in service. This was such an unexpected joy that was added to our trip! There may be a wait, but it's worth it! read more

Good home-cooking for breakfast, which was perfect for what we were looking for! I see why the locals love this place! The staff was super friendly and very attentive. read more

Food was just OK. The silverware was dirty and greasy!! Salad dressings were served in re-used coffee creamer containers. Tacky. Staff was not at all friendly or welcoming. Not impressed. Won't be back. read more

Workers were super sweet! We had to wait for a good while after we ordered, but I feel like the food was worth the wait. My taco was superrrr good! The breakfast sandwich was also really good! We got some bean and cheese tacos for a friend, but he said they were okay. The only thing I didn't like was the price. My taco was $6 and it was only a normal sized taco. I can find the same type of taco for $4 max in San Antonio or Houston. read more

JJ's Cafe - Breakfast taco w eggs, cheese, potatoes, bacon, and sausage. Breakfast sandwich w eggs, ham, and cheese. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockport, Texas

The tables outside are bar height and not accessible for handicapped people. They won't serve us at the picnic style tables and because we have a dog, they won't serve us inside. I picked this restaurant because I saw it's dog friendly. I drove from San Antonio and we just don't have many options for our pup so now we're having to take our food to go. Food was okay. Husband liked his omelet but I didn't care for mine. My moms grilled chicken wasn't tasty. read more

Love this place Great brunch or lunch. Nice varied menu. Great service. We tried on three separate occasions to get into this place, and there was always a waiting list. Finally early - before 9- we got a table for four plus high chair. Make you omeletefor me with bacon, mushrooms, pepper Jack cheese. Delicious. My husband wanted meat and was able to order the cheesy chopped steak as did my son. My daughter in law got the salad bar and grilled chicken. Grandson had the grill cheese. Everything was great. My grandson ate half his papa's side of fried okra. The Omelet was so tasty and it came with hash browns and a biscuit. The salad bar was very stocked and fresh. We had great service, and we can not wait to go back. read more

JJ's Cafe - I asked for the meat on the side because it was Lent, and they allowed my dog to sit under the table (so he got it) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockport, Texas

Wow, a really good restaurant for breakfast. Nice environment, super nice staff waiting on us. Well cooked meals, big portions, reasonably priced.

The line out front made it seem like it would be good, but unfortunately it was not. Standard breakfast that is not worth the wait. Food took almost an hour to come out and again nothing special. Just visiting Rockport and I am sure there is another place to go. In the positive wait staff was friendly and did their best read more

GO GO, don't walk, RUN!! I can't recommend this restaurant enough! It is very clean, the service was top notch, and the atmosphere is VERY family friendly! Food was AMAZING too! read more

Arrived July 9, 2020 after the lunch rush at about 1:00 p.m. and we were promptly seated. I ordered the one egg breakfast with hash browns and bacon. My wife ordered the Patty Melt. She commented that the PM was excellent. By the way our waitress, no name, was great! I was served my plate and the over easy egg looked strange but it was done to my request. The hash browns were a bit too crispy! And were cold! The biscuit, as usual, was piping hot and was very good! The bacon! Well, it was burnt! I tried to eat it but could not bring myself to take more than a few bites. I flagged down the waitress and asked her, "check out my bacon"! She commented OMG, it's burnt! She quickly departed and stated she would be right back. She returned with a good side of bacon. Well!!!!! All I can say is that "Even the best Quarterback has an off day"!

Had the lunch special today. Beef enchiladas and honestly from someone that frequently cooks authentic Mexican food, JJs beef enchiladas did not disappoint! They where delicious nicely pack with beef and plenty of cheese, top with an enchilada sauce. The rice was nice and fluffy and the refried beans where delicious. The fresh guacamole salad complemented the enchilada dish! Lastly, the salsa was delicious with the right amount of spice! A must try if you even find yourself at JJ's Cafe and not in the mood for breakfast! read more

Breakfast was okay. Restaurant is very dirty and cluttered.. I don't think I'll be back.

Great food & service! Always a must to eat here when I come to Rockport!! The JJ's omelet is awesome!

I was pleasantly surprised by JJ's! I saw another review that said it was the best breakfast so far on a cross country journey and I thought ... really?! But my boyfriend and I gave it a try while we were in town and it was great! I had the breakfast taco and picked my favorite ingredients. It was served with fresh salsa (mild and hot) that was fantastic! I'd go back for the salsa alone. My boyfriend had the JJ's Benedict and was also impressed. They have pretty good coffee and the service was quick and attentive. A real gem in the area. read more

JJ's Cafe - Breakfast taco with mushrooms, onion, sausage, and cheddar cheese. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockport, Texas

My usual breakfast place was closed, so I went here, and I saw someone else who usually eats at the closed place too. Followed a family in and sat at a table. Was given a menu and ordered coffee with cream. The family got their coffee and had their orders taken, while my waitress was ignoring me and entering in paper slips. Finally, I got up and walked out. Go here and get maximum sh*ty service. read more

We found a great spot for breakfast. The JJ's omelet with hash browns and toast was delicious. Or waitress was friendly and very helpful explaining the breakfast menu.

JJ was our server and was very personable, professional, and accommodating of my KETO diet. First time customers, the atmosphere was relaxed, very clean, and service was prompt. Food was tasty. We will be back! read more

JJ's is a great locally based restaurant serving great breakfasts and lunches/specials daily. The service is always excellent and the core tenured staff took over running the place after the owner passed away. They have carried on his legacy well and is well worth visiting anytime you can. The eggs Benedict and Ruben Sandwich are the absolute best!!! read more

Food so nice we went there twice. Had the guys fishing trip coming up so I started looking where to go get some good food. Boy did we hit it big with this spot. This place is legit. The hostess, waitstaff and service are phenomenal. The food is so good. It comes out hot and fresh. Went there Saturday morning and today Sunday morning before heading back home. Hands down A1 all around. We will be back for some fishing and some JJ's Cafe. read more

My mom and I drove by on our way to Wal-Mart Sunday morning, and could not believe how packed the parking lot was for JJ's Cafe. We decided to try it out for lunch. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. When we walked in, we were expecting it to be a lot larger on the inside, due to the cars that were there earlier, people had to have been waiting, but I see why. It was worth it. I had the chopped steak with jack cheese and bacon, side of stir fry veggies, and was able to add a salad bar for $.99. The salad bar was nice, really fresh and had a lot to offer. The table next to ours ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and let me tell you - they looked amazing. The lady eating them said it was too! And worth every calorie. I may have to try this the next time! The chop steak was very good, nice size, the stir fry veggies had an amazing flavor, even better than a Chinese restaurant! The plate came with Texas Toast as well, but I did not eat this. Our waitress, Dawn, was the kindest woman, and very attentive. There were multiple items on the menu that looked and sounded appetizing, so I will definitely be stopping in next time I am in Rockport. read more

This is one of those places with overtly religious decorations. I don't know why southerners do that, but they do. They food was mediocre. The tortilla strips in the migas were really good, but there was a strange slice of cheese melted atop. Maybe it was a Mexican cheese, but it reminded me of white American cheese. It was just odd. read more

Delicious breakfast. Waitress accidentally forgot our order so it took a while, but still worth the wait!

Great food , friendly atmosphere. Never disappointed...one of my favorite places to take company

This review is from a dining experience on Thursday March 16th. It was noon and we were a party of 6. We waited about an hour before we were seated. Burgers and salad bar with a side of grilled chicken were ordered. Burgers were ok. They forgot the grilled chicken and a side of fries. People who had the onion straws really liked them. There is nothing noteworthy other than that. read more
