Grilled shrimp and fish with bread
Danielle R.

It's Lenten season and I wanted some seafood on Friday that wasn't fried. I saw this place had grilled fish and thought I'd give it a try. I called in my to go order and the person who took my order was nice. I ordered the grilled fish and shrimp which came with 2 sides. I got the green beans and side salad. I wanted Italian dressing, but they don't carry it so I settled on balsamic vinaigrette. She told me it'd probably be about 15 mins and since I live about 10 or so minutes away, I hopped in the car after I got off the phone and drove there. There were a few customers dining in but it wasn't very busy. My food was ready and sitting at the counter, so I paid and went home to eat. It was a nice sized piece of fish and a good bit of shrimp. Fish flavor was good but shrimp flavor was just okay. House salad and green beans both had pieces of bacon in them so I tried to avoid that as I ate. I believe the total was about $26 or $27. Overall it was just ok in my opinion. Some of the other items on the menu may taste better. I may try something else from them one day.

Hamburger Steak

Outstanding dinning experience. Super good food. Clean comfortable environment. Friendly staff

Two eggs and hash browns
Scott T.

We met there for a business call and had coffee and some light breakfast items. Oatmeal, Eggs and hash Browns and their croissant beignets! I enjoyed my coffee and relaxed while waiting for my guests. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. We placed our orders and were served fairly quick. Definitely a neat diner with a history!

Bowl of Chicken & Sausage Gumbo
The F.

This place is so good. Feels like your at your friends house getting a bite to eat with your crew. I sat at the bar and loved seeing how the employees interacted with all the customers. The place has a great diner vibe. It's perfect for feeling welcome. Now for the food.... I had the chicken and sausage gumbo two days in a row I enjoyed it so much. The first night I had red Beans and Rice which was really good especially paired with the Gator Sausage. The second day I had the shrimp and angel hair pasta in a really good cream sauce. I almost licked the plate clean.... While I didn't have a lot of time to try several places I would say this is the place to eat in the area hands down!!!

Omelette
Connor A.

The beignets were great very airy, not too sweet make sure to eat them fresh. The omelette was create your own but good ingredients overall. The French toast had a very prominent vanilla flavor and was very sweet but very good. The burrito chimichanga style was amazing. The burrito was very greasy should come with some salsa on the side too to cut through that. The side of hash browns was the real star in all honesty so airy and crispy the best I've ever had. The service was quick and constant attention. The tables are weirdly close together which is interesting.

I've been having to cut back on fried/greasy/fatty foods lately, so I was excited to see that this place offers grilled and blacked options for some entries. I placed my to-go order over the phone easily enough, and has only a brief wait when I arrived before my food was ready. I got the blackened catfish with corn and rice & gravy, plus bread pudding for dessert. The fish was well cooked, nicely seasoned, and refreshing for not being fried. The bread pudding was very tasty too, with strawberries, blueberries, and white chocolate. If you're looking for seafood but don't want it fried (or boiled), give this place a try.

Onion rings
Lucas G.

The onions rings here are amazing! The servers are pretty good they're nice and friendly. They have a long bar to sit at and a few booths I think and tables. We sat in a corner where the walls were pretty nasty, like they never clean this place at all. The garlic cheese bread was good but the "marinara" that it came with didn't quite taste like any marinara sauce I've ever had. Almost tasted Mexican like- it was strange but it wasn't bad. I got the crazy Cajun poboy which is hot sausage and fried shrimp...not a fan. I don't think those 2 things combine together too well in one, but the shrimp was good, and the sausage was ok. They definitely have some very unique menu items, combining foods together like I've never heard. I encourage others to go get their own opinion but I wasn't crazy for this spot

Happy Hour
Lexi M.

This is the perfect spot to come here with the family for some breakfast. You can tell a lot of the locals love this place. We had a 30 minute wait for breakfast and everyone was willing to wait because the food is that good. The grits here are pretty good too!

I got a handful of fries ...

I've only gotten takeout i've never actually dined in so i can't say anything abt the customer service & personally the food is really good but the prices for what you're getting are unreal. Here i got 2 BLT Sandwiches with a side of fries & it was 19.45$ . Both my Sandwiches looked like that picture & a handful of fries ... Really. All for a good price of 19.45$ Unbelievable. This whole meal is maybe 12$ at best.

Chicken fried chicken meal - enough to feed 2 people!
Destination Not Required B.

I regret I didn't find this place till my last day here! Busy with locals, fantastic food, large portions, good prices, and classic dinner vibe! Went around 1030 and got their chicken fried chicken. Well cooked, crispy coating, Cajun gravy that wasn't too much or too spicy. Came with 3 eggs, grits and a biscuit. For &20 I have breakfast and lunch. Looking forward to making my way back here to try some of their other items, for sure!!

We were skeptical because the reviews aren't that great, but this place was fantastic…read more The A/C works well the place was nice and cold. The music in the place was not too loud and the booths are really big and comfortable. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful with every request we had. The salsa was our first indication that this place would be good, it was thick and flavorful not watery and sad. I wish I took photos of the rest of our meal but it was so good we dove right in. We had enchiladas verdes and they accommodated us and put two sunny side up eggs on those. The Spanish rice was so perfectly cooked, not mushy, and it had a sweetness to it like it was made with fresh tomatoes. I had pollo mole and it tasted homemade. My husband had carnitas and they were tender, flavorful, and had a nice crisp to them. He got the salsa verde on the side with them and it was creamy delicious and had the perfect heat from Serranos in it. The charro beans were also so good! So much flavor and had beef, bacon, and salchichas in it. So so good. I highly recommend giving them a chance. Great place for a casual Mexican meal. Oh also the horchata was really good and not watery.

Great local spot for Mexican and margs! The server was very nice and attentive. The ambiance is…read moregreat and not too loud and plenty of TVs for sports. The food is good with nothing really setting itself apart from most other similar restaurants but you get large portions. The margaritas slap though as the kids say. And 2 for 1 at happy hour.

12/6/24: It has been some time since we last went to Los Jefes. When we first went there, it was…read moreabsolutely incredible on all levels but then, things changed and the quality of the drinks and food went down. On our last visit the fajitas were incredibly salty and we did not even finish them. Well, THEY ARE BACK! I am very happy to say this! We went there last week and had the chicken and steak fajitas and they were incredible once again. Great flavor, well seasoned, cooked to perfection. I have one big complaint, however, and it has something to do with their supplier. In my wife's and my opinion, the shells they provide to you for the fajitas are an absolute joke. Taco Bell's shells are larger. Every other Mexican food restaurant I have gone to are larger. Really, guys, I don't want to hear about your supplier, I could not care less and really do not want excuses. Then, the bartender has the Gaul to tell us that they are designed more for pushing than making a fajita! DO NOT tell me how to eat my meal and do not come up with such a poor excuse. This place has great Margaritas. Donnie is an incredible chef putting out the best Fajitas in the city! Don't insult your restaurant, your customers, and Donnie and give your customers Fajita shells that would be better suited to little hands in a grade school cafeteria!

Went on a Saturday for brunch to try the birria and grits along with bottomless mimosas. Service…read morewas friendly, though it took a little while for my server to get to me at first. Once I ordered, the food and drinks came out quickly. The 'unlimited' mimosas actually cap at 5, which is fine, but the mix they use cheapens the drink, and the glasses weren't the cleanest. The birria and grits were good (about a 7/10), though I think the pre-shredded Mexican blend cheese on top took away from the dish. A traditional white cheese would have worked better. The birria tacos were tasty, though. The bathrooms could use attention as there were no paper towels, which makes me wonder what employees do after washing their hands. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely cost-efficient. With a few tweaks to the drinks and presentation, this place could easily go from a 3-star to a 4- or 5-star brunch spot. I'll be back to try the tacos and check out the unlimited margaritas.
