Salmon grits and eggs
Queen J.

WAITED HOURS!!! we can at 11:30 and I don't get my food until 1:30 everyone else was able to get they food I was with my family it was about 9 of us I was the only one who didn't get they food. So they obviously forgot about me.... I was so pissed I was starving and my partner was nice enough to tip the server I'm so disappointed that I had to get this type of service from w black business like this I wish we they were more professional this isn't the first time in Gary where I experience this much patience.... I ordered the salmon, grits and eggs...

We saw J's Breakfast Club and knew we had spin the block to check it out. We were also really hungry too! J's Breakfast is a casual dining experience. They were somewhat busy when we arrived, but we were instantly greeted and didn't have to wait for a table. From the displays on the tv's they host a lot of fun activities throughout the month! I wish I lived closer to attend, especially the Taurus Experience! I also LOVED the wall with the post it notes! It's a thoughtful touch and a small reminder that the world could use more love & kindness! I was torn between the Breakfast Skillet and Dem Grits. I opted for Dem Grits with fried catfish. The catfish was decent. The grits were loaded with bacon, cheddar cheese, and chives. I just had to give dem grits a little extra seasoning to bring it all together. Our server was friendly, attentive, and provided her honest opinion on entree suggestions, which I personally love. Overall, it was a good experience at J's Breakfast Club! Good food, good vibes, and worth the stop. I will definitely swing back through next time I'm in Gary.

Shrimp and Grits

This is a nice clean, friendly restaurant. I ordered the shrimp/fish over grits and it was excellent. We also had the chicken and waffles which were also delicious. They have good soul food choices on the menu, I can wait to try some other items on the menu

I am trying to learn all of the Latest Line Dances; so on Thursdays they teach Line Dances. Only $5.00 at the door and that includes finger foods. The staff members are very friendly, knowledgeable regarding the menu and provide Great customer service. The ambiance is great and they do have a private dining room. The food that I've had there is always delicious. The proprietor is very friendly and down to earth.

Had to get a picture with the beautiful Lee-Lee!!

Scrimp and grits with fried catfish on top

I had the scrimp and grits with fried catfish on top. The owner has a tremendous passion for her business . Also I enjoyed the atmosphere inside the restaurant.

J's opened their new location recently and I finally had a chance to visit. The new space looks really great and provides quite a bit more room. It's located right off I94 so super convenient to get to. Two words: shrimp and grits! Ah-mazing. This alone is with the visit. My son had the all meat breakfast skillet and really enjoyed it. His girlfriend had biscuits and gravy. I stole a bite. Also amazing. J's Breakfast Club should be on anyone's must eat list in NW Indiana. And their owner Joslyn Kelly is a pillar of the Gary community. J's serves more than just food, it is a true community hub and gathering place.

Mimosa flight

Definitely a must try if you are in Gary. Service is always great, they greet you as soon as you walk in. Everything we ordered was delicious. My favorite is the salmon croquettes so bomb! The interior is updated and very colorful. Come here with family for brunch and a good time!

Small chicken wings with the chicken and waffles...they were very tasty, tho!!
Kimberly L.

The food was very good. The service was great. I ordered chicken & waffles, and fried green tomatoes. I enjoyed both. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. My only complaint is the size of the wings. They give you three. I would have appreciated if they had been bigger, or at least give one additional wing for the price. ($13.00). The tomatoes were excellent. No complaints there at all. I did have a problem with the fact that they wouldn't honor the Yelp check in discount. If you don't honor it, please remove it from your page.

Catfish dinner
Candace L.

My family and I decided to try this place out after seeing it on our local news station (channel 5). The owner gives back to local organizations/groups in her community I just wanted to go and support her for what she does. We got there and parked in the front. It's street parking and parking on the side of the building. The place is a decent side restaurant. Everyone greet you when you walk in. They do this with everyone. I know because I witnessed it sitting in the front. They had a nice selection of breakfast items but I love catfish so I got the dinner which comes with Spaghetti and 2 sides. It was good. I got my daughter a side of hash browns. She was too busy enjoying her dads pancakes. So I ate her hash brows which were good. The sweat tea was a little off in the taste. But overall I had a great experience here and if I'm in the area again I'll definitely stop again.

I've been to The Harvest Room probably five to seven times over the years, and it has consistently…read morebeen a great experience. The food is absolutely delicious and always an A+ for me! This is one of my favorite places for brunch. I love that they open early, and they have some really good cocktails. Their Bloody Marys are a favorite of mine, and during my last visit I tried a lavender cocktail that was absolutely delicious. The food never disappoints. I usually go for something hearty, like a breakfast burger topped with an egg and all the fixings, and their monkey bread is SO good and definitely worth trying. The service has always been great. Food and drinks come out quickly, the staff is attentive, and I've never felt rushed. I also really enjoy the atmosphere because you can actually sit and have a conversation. Whether you're meeting friends for brunch, going on a casual date, or even enjoying brunch by yourself, The Harvest Room is a great choice. After multiple visits over the years, they've been consistently good, and I'll definitely keep coming back.

Great food! great service! Seating is a little tight but the place looks new and nice…read more I had one of their delish skillets, with chicken, peppers, Hash brown, etc. BUT the star of the show was the pancakes! I totally recommend trying this spot.
