After spending several hours on the casino floor with great success my elderly dad and I decided to…read moregrab lunch and a cold beer before resuming play. This cafe is located right off the casino floor and is an open air layout with easy access for my dad's electric wheelchair. The staff here was very friendly and attentive and we were seated without a wait. Our server was the best she make sure our table was well suited to seat my dad and moved things around to make him comfortable. We each ordered a cold bottled beer to toast our outing which arrived immediately as we looked over the menu - we both started with a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo which was absolutely delicious and a amazing large portion for the price. My dad ordered one of his favorites, a nicely prepared ribeye steak cooked perfectly and hand cut fries and I ordered a pair of perfectly fried bone-in pork chops (so crispy and delicious) - we both skipped the side vegetables and mashed potatoes and opted for a chilled side salad to keep inline with our healthy entree and appetizer choices. The quality of the food was excellent, the service was outstanding and the prices beyond reasonable. We didn't sign up for a player's card at the casino and probably could of gotten this meal comp'ed with the amount of play prior to having lunch but that's okay since our visits here are infrequent. The food was all delicious and my dad is still talking about how much he enjoyed his steak - we both had a wonderful experience here and would definitely come again...

This place is stunning on the inside and also offers outdoor seating. The line was out the door when we got there and for good reason. This was one of the best meals we have had in a while. We started with the bacon & Gruyère quiche which was absolutely delicious and so tasty. I would order this again. The cinnamon roll was (I'm not kidding when I say this) THE BEST CINNAMON ROLL I have ever eaten!! For entrees we order the Souther Smother. So so so good!! The biscuit is fluffy and the gravy is out of this world. We also had the grits & grillades. OMG the meat is so tender, juicy, and packed full of flavor. It país so well with the grits, potatoes, and eggs. We also ordered one of every pastry they had to go!! 10/10 I hope we come back to Lake Charles soon just to eat here again. Trust me just go.

My husband and I tried out Biscuits & Jamz for the first time today...and when I tell you our visit…read morewas fantastic, I sincerely mean it! The atmosphere in the restaurant and the food had me feeling all the nostalgic vibes of growing up eating my maw-maw's good down home cooking. The whole staff was kind and welcoming, our waitress was ShaDay and she was so kind and attentive. You can tell the staff all genuinely care about the quality of their food and their customers' experiences at their restaurant. The food was phenomenal and worth every penny. My husband had the fried pork chop breakfast which also came with cheesy grits, country potatoes, a biscuit and diner's choice eggs; he chose over easy eggs. Every single thing on his plate had great flavor! We taste tested each other's plates, and we both agreed that there wasn't a single bite that left us disappointed. I felt my soul leave my body when I dipped a piece of that homemade biscuit in the owner's homemade strawberry jam! ShaDay told us that the owner makes all the jams herself and rotates the flavors out periodically. The owner deserves an award for those jams because my husband licked those little ramekins clean; it was that good. I'm grateful ShaDay brought us another jam too, so I could also enjoy the jam with my food; that's how quick he finished off his jam. I had the F Biscuit which was just as flavorful and delicious. The F Biscuit is a breakfast sandwich where they dip the biscuits in French toast batter then grill it before putting the sandwich altogether with fried eggs, cheese, bourbon bacon onion jam, and a sausage link (or substitute for chicken, which I did and it was a great choice.) Every bite was flavorful, and the jam was also an out of this world enhancement to the French toast biscuit as well. Biscuits & Jamz is a 5-star experience all the way around, from the staff, to the food, to the environment, to the pricing. The prices were very fair for the portions of food you get while still being very affordable. Don't walk. RUNNNNN to Biscuits & Jamz! You won't be disappointed!

Service is drive-thru only, which honestly works perfectly for me. The kimchi cucumbers? Always a hit. Everyone puts their own spin on them, but these taste like the real deal. The rice was perfectly cooked, and the potatoes were amazing (but seriously... why only two tiny pieces?!). The bulgogi was solid -- not the best I've ever had, but it definitely put a smile on my face. Overall, this place is a gem in a town that desperately needs more spots like it.
