We were greeted by two young ladies who were very friendly as well as professional. It is a chic restaurant, and the decorating is modern eclectic; pleasing to the eyes and spirit. Very welcoming. I had the crispy chicken sandwich and my wife had the house burger. Each sandwich came with these unique potato wedges. Not sure what they were seasoned with, but they were ridiculously good, as well as addictive. Jimmy, our server, made sure that we wanted for nothing. He was outstanding. As was the entire staff. Highly recommend. We will return. The only issue I had was that one of the Hostess happened to be a Raiders fan. That topic came up when I paid the check with my SAN FRANCISCO 49er debit. All in fun!

Definitely order the home fries over hash browns, they are well seasoned crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. So delicious don't skip! The garden burger was also so delicious the patty is made of like oats and mushrooms and one more ingredient that I can't remember right now but it was superb! Definitely one of the best veggie burgers I have had! Top 5 for sure. Now the reason they didn't get 5 stars. The side of fruit that I ordered and two other plates on the table came with, wasn't fresh. It looked a day or a few days old. Only the melon was decent enough to eat. Next is more of a suggestion. I understand it's a diner but I feel like all restaurants/diners/cafes should have alternative milks such as oat, soy or almond milk. Because I asked for a cold brew but I had to drink it black due to the lack of alternative milks. Which was fine but I can't be the only person that has that suggestion. Overall Katz n' jammers cafe was a cute diner with 50s nostalgia on the walls and fair prices for good food!

Since it was our first visit, we walked up to the bar and explained that we're not IPA fans and asked if we could sample a few beers. The staff was super friendly and happy to let us try different options. We ended up really liking the Waterfront Lager and ordered micheladas. Their michelada mix is AMAZING. The Palmdale location is drinks only (no food), but the atmosphere and service made for a really fun night. Fast forward to yesterday. My husband and I had a date night and remembered how much we liked the beer, so we decided to check out the Lancaster location since they also serve food. When we walked in, the place was packed and there were only two girls working the entire floor. Even though they were clearly super busy, they were still very friendly and upfront that there would be about a 15-minute wait for a table. We appreciated the honesty, so we waited patiently and eventually got seated. We found out that the Lancaster location doesn't always have the same beers as the Palmdale brewery location, so unfortunately they didn't have the Waterfront Lager we loved. We were a little bummed, but our waitress gladly brought us samples so we could find something else we liked. We ended up ordering a lighter blonde beer since many of the others were too hoppy for our taste. We also tried their handmade mango and pineapple micheladas and WOW! both were so good. The food was delicious too. We ordered the totchos (loaded tator tots), 6-piece hot wings, and the Asian sliders. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. Even though they were slammed busy, the waitresses continued checking on us regularly throughout the night. Overall, it ended up being a really great date night. The ambiance is casual, fun, and welcoming, and both locations gave us excellent service. Lucky Luke is definitely going to become one of our regular date night spots moving forward!

They also had a water bowl for the doggies. Food is bar food but elevated. They had a variety on the menu but mostly burgers. We got the pretzel to start with and I got the chicken sliders with tater tots. Service was very fast! Pretzel was good, cake with cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was ok. The Korean chicken sliders were amazing, there were 2 but it was more than enough.

Unfortunately, I have to update my review…read more I attempted to celebrate my 19th anniversary at the Lancaster location on 09/11/26. I was sat in Rachel M.'s section. I have had Rachel twice in the past and each time we had bad experiences. Though, I wanted to change servers, it was an hour before closing and noticed there was not a lot of employees present. Rachel has always had an unpleasant attitude while serving us, she appears passive aggressive, our orders come out wrong, we have to ask various times for items such as extra ranch. The first time she served us which was in 2025, she missed my whole entree and blamed it on being new and the restaurant being busy. I canceled the entree. I haven't been here in about 3 months and I noticed a lot of has changed such as the bread, we received a white rolls and they now charge 3% to use a credit/debit card. Every time I asked Rachel a question, she would walk away while answering the question and did not answer the question fully. She appeared as if she was bothered by us. I had a free entree and I told her I wanted to apply it my husband's steak entree. She came back with the bill and she took off my salad. I told her again, I wanted it to be taken off for the steak entree and her response was "the system does it automatically" and walked away without letting my respond. I do not believe this to be true because I am a frequent guest and I know I can use my free entree on whatever I want. Unless this also has changed. Rachel never came back to our table after waiting ten minutes thus we went to the front desk. The girl working the front desk on 09/11/2026 around 9:45pm was very pleasant and helpful. Rachel saw us talking and came up. When the girl told Rachel what I was requesting, Rachel stormed past her and stated, "you need to call Brian for that" and walked away. Brian, who I assume is the manager, arrived to front desk to help me and he made the adjustment. However, he didn't apologize for the inconvenience nor did he ask me how my night/meal was. Our anniversary was only acknowledge by the front desk girl. Rachel never said anything about it. Rachel M. has a very bad attitude. I do not like to believe this is racial but at this time it could be. As I have now had three bad experiences with Rachel M. since 2025 at the Lancaster location. If things do not begin to improve at this location, Lancaster may forced to shut down as Texas Roadhouse is being built across the street. Servers like Rachel M. will make it easier for us loyal customers to transition over. The food quality went downhill. The filet mignon was rough. I ordered a chopped steak cobb salad but nothing was chopped. I got old pieces of bacon ripped in half, a whole boiled egg, and overdone steak on top. I had this same salad over a year ago and it was excellent. Not sure what is going on but it is terrible.

Really enjoyable dining experience, you should try it. So, it did not start well when I called the…read morerestaurant two times in the lunch hour and nobody answered the phone, and both times the voicemail said they were closed and gave some date in January, two months ago. :-). Nevertheless, I did manage to talk Mr. Picky into heading out east a significant distance to try the place because I had a backup plan in case they were closed. Our waitress was Tiffany and I cannot say enough good things about her. She had a great smile, had good energy, and bent over backwards in order to meet our requests and ensure that we enjoyed eating at the restaurant. We started with the soup du jour which was Chicken Enchilada. Wow moment. Yummy and one of the best soups I've eaten in a long time. Spicy, not too spicy, filled with corn and beans and cheese sprinkled on top. So, so good! Gold star to the genius chef behind that recipe. We unfortunately arrived on a day when they had a shortened, reduced menu. We had driven a significant distance to try the Firecracker Chicken which was not on the abbreviated menu. However - Tiffany to the rescue - our waitress asked the kitchen staff if they would prepare it for us, and they agreed to do so. Wonderful cooperation in the back and on the floor. Mr. Picky liked the chicken, we both thought the mashed potatoes were pretty good, I tried the squash side vegetable and enjoyed it very much because it was seasoned well, we liked the cornbread with honey butter, but our tummies ran out of room and we had to take the baked beans home with us. (Hint for a fabulous breakfast, somewhat English style, is to get buttered toast topped by fried eggs and then loaded up with piping hot baked beans spooned all over it. There is a good use for these leftovers :-) !) Soft folk music was playing in the background, or actually I think those were hymns played folksy style, very cute. We finished by sharing a large scoop of their homemade salted caramel ice cream, and liked it. The place seemed very clean, comfortable seating, not fancy, but a perfect fit for the menu. I had no idea there was a religious college out east, this one is Baptist, nor that they had a restaurant where the students can work, but it's a great idea and a good way to integrate the community with the school. Overall, we both said we would go back to try other things.

The chicken sandwich was initially served on the wrong bread. When the cook corrected it, they apparently took the same chicken and other ingredients from the original sandwich and put them on the new bread. The result? Another lukewarm chicken sandwich with lukewarm fries. Then came our daughter's chicken Caesar salad. As her food was being served, we were told they were out of Caesar dressing and that she would have to order something else. Why wait until the food is being served to tell us? We were there as a family and expected to eat together. Instead, we were put in the position of either having everyone eat at different times or waiting for her replacement meal--which would have meant our already lukewarm food would have been completely cold. We also ordered hot wings and specifically asked that they be cooked well done. They weren't. At every turn, something was wrong, and there seemed to be very little attention to getting the orders right or making sure the food was served hot and at the same time. Overall, just a really poor experience. Mistakes happen--we understand that. But when you combine incorrect orders, lukewarm food, an appetizer that wasn't prepared as requested, and poor communication with the customer, it adds up to a disappointing meal. We weren't expecting perfection or a five-star restaurant. We just expected our family to receive what we ordered, at a reasonable temperature, and to be able to eat together. Unfortunately, this place missed the mark across the board.
