    Located just a mile north of I 80, this breakfast lunch and dinner restaurant of comfort food is a place to stop when you've got a little time to spare. The restaurant presents itself as very well maintained, with a neat exterior and interior. Dedicated parking lot behind the restaurant and on the street make for easy access. This family run restaurant is very much kickback and relaxing environment while you have some coffee. The one thing I must emphasize here is that you must not be in any hurry! Once you get past any time constraints, the food will be worth the wait. We came in and it was a solid 30 minutes before food came to the table, but in the meantime, we were provided beverages and had some time do little people watching and catch up with one another. I ordered the breakfast scramble. I have to say that the scrambled eggs that came along with this were by far the best I've ever had in my entire life! I definitely think there was a little butter in there and they were super fluffy and light. Waffles, fried chicken, eggs, sandwiches of all sorts, all cooked to order fresh. The staff was very friendly and helpful, although there was a little follow up required from time to time. I would love to come back here in the evening and try some of the menu that was offered for dinner because it just looked fantastic. Meal prices were offered in a range of how big you wanted to go! You could definitely get by with a right size portion meal for a reasonable price. Overall, a pleasant experience, but cannot emphasize : Do not plan to get in and out of here very quickly, especially during peak hours!! This location does not take reservations, but they do offer a full bar, which could make you overlook some other things. Check out J's when you're in the Gary Indiana area. Afterward, drive four minutes and see the childhood home of the Jackson 5.

    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.

    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.

    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.
