Biscuits&Jamz

FYI; I'm writing this as we wait. We walked in and waited to be seated. Didn't seem like there were many guests but we were seated on the side and waited about 10 minutes to be seated in the back area! I was surprised that a server actually had on pajamas AT WORK! We gave the "waitress" our drink and meal order since it seemed like the food would take a while to get to us! It took another 5 minutes for me to get my coffee and my husband to get ice for his coke, sodas are in cans so he needed ice. The waitress finally came back to check on us after another patron needed assistance. Food just arrived! Hubby's eggs were cold so those went back. I had the French toast breakfast with sausage, scrambled eggs and "hashbrowns"(cut up potatoes fried) I JUST informed the waitress that I ordered sauceage and not bacon and she said to me "You did order bacon not sauceage!" I explained to her I KNOW i didn't because I don't order bacon when I go out for breakfast, EVER! She brought back my eggs and sauceage shortly after taking it back to the kitchen! My hubby's food came back and everything was remade! The cook brought out out himself and I explained to him that the eggs were the only issue! He explained that he remade it all so everything could be nice and hot when he brought it back out! We appreciated that very much! The food was very good but the potatoes had absolutely no seasoning to them! It's nice to know that we weren't the only customers that had an issue! I think its more so on the customer service side than the kitchen! Kudos to the kitchen staff! Your "waitresses" set the tone for your establishment and that reflects on the owner/ managers. They're the first people the customers see and interact with and ultimately they're the deciding factor if customers will be back or not! I wanted to give the cook a cash tip but didn't have cash! My hubby put the tip when he cashed out and was told that it's split between everyone, so I hope he gets his portion! Good luck to this BOB!

Back again! Doin it and doin it and doin it well 🙌🏾. Another visit here while visiting and the food is still great. The young lady at the front was pleasant and friendly- great food suggestions. This time we had strawberry stuffed waffles, seafood grits, BJ Hash 😋😋🫢😋. Everything was great - come hungry with a side of Patience and its bound to be a great experience. Not sure if the coffee has changed or if the hazelnut creamer just went better with it - but definitely better than last time.

This place is a true hidden jem. Great food,hospitality and atmosphere 👌 Highly recommend. Did I mention that they make their own jams ,delicious. If you visit Lake Charles Texas checkout days and times when open, it is worth the trip.

Hidden gem!! Perfect mom & pop restruant!! Lovely waitress. We went for breakfast. Food was fantastic!! Be advised... get there early. The place fills up fast. Also, with the restruant being a mom & pop restruant, there is a bit of a wait for your food. But, the wait is so worth it!!

Food was great, cute and comfy mom and pop place! Waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed, but she did her best to keep up. We ordered the sloppy has and shrimp and grits (no veggies)

My husband had the jambalaya grits, and I ordered the BJ Breakfast. The grits were excellent—flavorful. We were both happy with our meals overall. Unfortunately, the biscuits were a major letdown: dry, crumbly, and surprisingly bad. The strawberry and blueberry peach jams were watery and unappetizing. We’d return just for the grits—they were that good. The exterior of the place isn’t very inviting and the neighborhood feels a bit rough, but if you’re in the mood for some really good grits, it’s worth a visit. We were visiting from Texas and would come back again—but only for the grits. The biscuits and jam were a real disappointment.

We came to LA to gamble and ate dinner at the casino, same stuff we get in Houston. For Breakfast we decided we wanted to eat something local and decided to check this place out on the way out of town. I'M GLAD WE DID! Small hole in the wall spot with a full parking lot. We were greatest as we walked in and seated promptly. The waitress gave suggestions (which my wife took). She had the bacon stuffed french toast and said it was "life-changing". I had HANDS DOWN the BEST Shrimp and grits I've ever eaten. If you want good food this is your spot. Lake Charles is lucky to have this place. My wife and I are going make the 2 1/2hr drive at some point just for breakfast! It was that good! By far the highlight of our visit to Lake Charles was finding this joint.

This restaurant has some of the best breakfast food I've ever eaten. I love every aspect about this restaurant. The service was great and the food was amazing! My food was hot and fresh and made perfect. The chicken was very juicy and crispy, the eggs were on point and the biscuits were homemade and were some of the best biscuits I've ever had. They serve various amounts of different jams with your food, and you can even buy some for yourself to take home. The one that was served with my food was either a cherry or strawberry, but it made by biscuits taste like a cupcake! It was delicious. I can't wait to come back and try more things.

Okay so food was good Food was fresh Food was very filling Place was homie and quaint very casual would definitely go back

We found this place rather randomly and stopped in. There were eight of us, two families, and that was a lot for the small space. I think they even mentioned calling ahead, but we didn't know the size of the place, being on a road trip. The food was good, we met a sweet little boy in there who was our kids age. Totally recommend a small business over a chain any day.

Came 40 mins before closing but a server stated they were no longer taking orders. Was unable to get seated and eat. Very disappointing.

We're Houstonians who come in each chance we can. Please be aware there will be a wait since it's a local small business but definitely worth the wait. The food always has a homemade taste with each dish like their waffles, hash, and especially their homemade biscuits and jams!! Every visit they have a new jam to taste. The Josh and Pork chop plate will always be our go-to order

We stopped in here for Sunday brunch. It was packed and we had quite a wait, but it was worth it! It's the stuff dreams are made of and both of us can't wait to go back! I ordered half sweet tea half lemonade with half blueberry and half blackberry flavoring (jam). It was too sweet! So the waiter offered a do over with unsweetened tea and that was much better. It was tasty and quite refreshing, but I'd probably try 2/3 lemonade with 1/3 unsweet tea next time. My date ordered the Fish and Grits topped with Fried Shrimp. I tasted it and it was in my top 2 best grits I've tasted of all time. Super tasty and luscious with just the right amount of richness. The fried catfish filet was perfect and the side of bacon was perfectly crisped up and yummy of course. I tried the biscuit leftover and it wasn't good enough to make me want to order it again. With patient guidance from our awesome waiter, I ordered the Peach Chicken & Waffles. The waffles were perfectly soft, the chicken was tasty and the sauce was the bombdotcom. I enjoyed the leftovers just as much and was sad I didn't have more left to eat on after I finished them off, but I want to try the Bacon Banana Stuffed French Toast next time.

My husband had the jambalaya grits, and I ordered the BJ Breakfast. The grits were excellent--flavorful. We were both happy with our meals overall. Unfortunately, the biscuits were a major letdown: dry, crumbly, and surprisingly bad. The strawberry and blueberry peach jams were watery and unappetizing. We'd return just for the grits--they were that good. The exterior of the place isn't very inviting and the neighborhood feels a bit rough, but if you're in the mood for some really good grits, it's worth a visit. We were visiting from Texas and would come back again--but only for the grits. The biscuits and jam were a real disappointment.

This place ranks Top 5 for me. Unassuming location with the Southern hospitality. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent. We had the Sloppy Biscuit (Picture not taken because I destroyed it before the waiter placed the plate on my table), Jambalaya Grits (Pictured here) and Sloppy Hash (Also pictured here). Scott was great and I have nothing negative to say about this spot. I would recommend this spot and we will be back. They only open till Noon so get there early.

What can I say? It's a little bit out-of-the-way for me but well worth the trip. The biscuits were just the best you could ever have had a apple jam that came with it. That was just perfect and the food all the food the food is being created by God's Masters of the craft. It's a little bit of an older place down in the neighborhood, but like I said, you'll see the parking outside. It's worth the trip.

Total Yelp find on a recent trip to Lake Charles. Came from Texas to visit some famous chef's steakhouse on my birthday weekend. We stayed just over the bridge in Westlake. Saturday morning we awoke looking for coffee and the all important breakfast before we went for that big fancy $$$$ dinner. We arrived just in time to avoid the wait; this place obviously has a local reputation. My mom immediately exclaimed how good the coffee was. That would be a secret blend of Folgers and Jim Beam coffee mixed in. Let me tell you friends, there is Walmart purchased condiments on every table. What they do with them is glorious. The secret ingredient is Cajun love. My Ashley omelette had bacon, link sausage, shrimp, jalapenos, onion and bell pepper. Four eggs not three; paired with one of the best cheesy grits I've ever had. My mom HATES grits..She loved this version. Man boy had the chicken and waffles. GF had the Shuggah hash Mom had the BJ omelette. All perfectly presented southern love on a plate. By the time we left folks were parking behind other cars so nobody ahead of them could leave. Possibly the best breakfast find in Louisiana.

Amazing black owned restaurant! It's located in a neighborhood in Lake Charles so don't think your GPS is off. I went and truly enjoyed the music and vibe of the restaurant. I ordered the seafood grits with shrimp, imitation crab meat, and sausage over creamy gouda grits with a fried fish filled. Sooooo good. That fish was fried to a golden brown and the batter on it was good! I also had a waffle and a homemade biscuit which both were good. The service was ok, the young lady was nice. 9/10, I'll be back again.

Oh my!!! Excellent breakfast! The coffee is just a highlight but the food is wonderful! Highly recommend!

I'll keep this short and to the point: make sure you have breakfast/brunch here when you're in the Lake Charles area. Boudain Hash was phenomenal! Seasoned well, and the flavors all work together amazingly. 10/10 The Kari is a salmon croquette, on top of a fried cheesy-grit cake, topped with Chipotle shrimp, and love. Biscuit was homemade, buttery, and excellent. 9.5/10 Pancake (not pictured, but I mowed through it quickly) - perfect....crispy edges, fluffy center. 10/10 Service: Everyone was friendly and accomodating. Very attentive and even asked how our experience was. Id ggo back, even if the food was medicore, for them. The food being amazing was the cherry on top. 11/10 We went around 9:30 on a Saturday, and there was a wait of about 45 minutes. Worth every minute. Don't sleep on this gem, trust me. Get there without delay.

Said open on Monday but they are closed ... double checked the details and clearly states Monday as open

Yes very happy with atmosphere and the food was great . Just so happen to meet the owner Al. I let him know I was from Houston and wanted to take grits home to my boy. Mr Al fixed me up with a bag and placed it on ice . I will definitely tell my family and friends and we will be back to visit . Thanks for the great service sorry I didn't get a pic

The food here was amazing! Friendly and fast service. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping in for breakfast/brunch. Our family of 4 had the Boudin Hash, chicken and waffles, Ka'le Hash, the Josh and Banana Nut pancakes. SO Yum!

Al and Marilyn have an outstanding little... but growing restaurant in the Lake Charles area. The service is always polite and the food is outstanding. The pancakes are a must try and their spin on Southern Classics are great. I tried the sloppy grits and added an extra egg and it might be my new favorite. Coming from San Antonio, TX you may say, "what do I know?" you're right, but my Cajun family may have some credibility Thank you Marilyn and Al for the food and service!

These are some of the best biscuits I've had outside my own families kitchens. They remind me of the ones my dad made during my childhood. Fluffy flaky and perfectly salted. They melt in your mouth and are accompanied by delicious homemade jam. 10/10 would recommend.

Oh my . Best thing I tasted in a long time ! Highly recommended! It well worth searching for. Staff was great

The food was AMAZING! I'm not going to lie... I was hesitant when we parked but I'm so glad we stayed. My husband and I ordered 3 different entrees so we could have a little bit of everything. Well we ended up finishing everything. We ordered: -chicken and waffles The chicken was juicy and seasoned perfectly. -Sloppy Biscuit The biscuit was nice and soft in the middle Gravy was delicious and the caramelized onions were a perfect addition. -Bacon French toast Delicious! You have to try them!

Don't judge by the outside- Food and Service was awesome Strawberry Bacon Waffles better than any big city restaurant

Absolutely delicious! Shrimp & waffles with the Garlic Parmesan syrup is unbelievable!!! YUM

Food and service were amazing! Felt like home and it was just what I needed on a Sunday morning.

The food was absolutely amazing and everything was fresh. The customer service was also great. I wish I would've gotten the young lady's names that took care of us. They were both very professional and pleasant. We were seated fairly quickly which was a surprise because all of the reviews that I read prior to going stated otherwise. My only complaint is that once our order was taken our wait time for our food was pretty long but as I mentioned the food was hot and fresh so it was worth the wait.

Highly recommended!! The food was sooo good; I had the seafood grits made with Gouda cheese and topped with sautéed shrimp, imitation crab meat, and sausage with just the right amount of spice. The service was excellent and the staff extremely friendly. I definitely will be back and have already begun to spread the word. We were cautioned that on a Sunday there is often an hour wait without a reservation; might want to try a weekday to avoid the weekend rush.

Not welcoming at all with a rude owner! Told us any party larger than 6 is not welcome without reservations. Don't waste your time friends and families very small tight house like environment!

Everybody knows everybody at this quaint Southern diner that's on the outskirts of Lake Charles. The menu is comfort food heaven, complete with fluffy-fresh, piping-hot biscuits that appear out of the ether approximately every four minutes. (Seriously, I don't know how they keep up. And if you don't slather it with their blueberry pepper jam, we can't be friends.) On the day I visited, the server touted the chicken and waffles, which is always a safe go-to breakfast staple. She then pointed out that if I wanted to up the ante, I might want to try their peach cobbler chicken and waffles. Readers, I died. Resurrected. And died again. The crispy, but not too crispy waffle alone engulfed the plate and was liberally doused with crumbly peach cobbler and chunks of peppery chicken tenders. When I grabbed the bottle of syrup, other patrons at the restaurant gasped. Apparently, this dish is sacred and doesn't need syrup. Actually, it doesn't need anything--other than for you to unhinge your jaw. Whether or not this is a recurring dish or part of the permanent menu remains to be seen. But, either way, whatever waffle o' the day they offer is mandatory. (And you better eat their biscuits like you're carbo-loading for a marathon the next day.)

Food is delicious make you lick your fingers and the service is awesome. The prices are excellent. The ambiance is small pleasantly comfortable

This place is a must for breakfast! Everything was delicious...waffles, pork chop, omelette and pancakes were great! Friends eat there once a week. I would too if I lived 5 hours closer. Food and service were homey and very friendly, like LC was back in the day. We'll definitely be back no our next trip for the pork chop again.

This is a nice and simple place . Amazing people who own it and take care of the community. The food was amazing and affordable. Definitely recommend this place for down home food and vibes.

Great local restaurant with u queen choices. Food was fantastic and everyone is so friendly. Definitely glad we came across it!!!

My boyfriend and I decided to travel to New Orleans from Houston since Hurricane Beryl knocked all of the power out for the last 4 days. We decided to make a stop overnight in Lake Charles and discovered this quaint little hole in the wall establishment and thought it was a good place to stop and dine. We checked out the menu and had a hard time deciding what we wanted since everything sounded so appetizing. We ended up going with both the peach chicken and waffles and katlyn waffles which we were told by staff were great choices. The food was phenomenal and the service we got was amazing. We will be stopping again if we're in the area! 10/10

OMG!! This place is the BOMB! Don't expect anything fancy at all but the food AND the staff are PHENOMENAL!!! We had shrimp&grits, strawberry stuffed waffles and peach chicken and waffles! Halston was our server and she was incredible and so friendly

This is a hidden gem. Great customer service- friendly staff. This is not your ordinary run of the mill place. All of our food was served hot and fresh. Grits were amazing just the way they were served. A must try is the hot peach jelly - both blueberry and peach were amazing. The peach reminded me of a warm peach cobbler. In the short amount of time I was there, the owners exhibited Core Values of Caring by assisting one of the members in the community. RUN don't walk to Biscuit and Jamz. I will be back.

Found a small hidden gem today. Not a huge restaurant, but what they do have is welcoming staff who provided excellent service coupled with delicious food. Each fried pork chop was thick, well seasoned, and fried to perfection. They had a wonderful crunch with every bite. All REAL chop here, made with love. Chops were accompanied by home fries, buttered grits, eggs made to request, and a fluffy biscut. Whew...the chicken and waffle! The waffle was fluffy and sweet. The tenders were huge and juicy and topped with just the right amount of powdered sugar. Make sure you come hungry as portions are huge. You can't go wrong with this spot. Next time we're in the area, we will definitely stop here again!

Food was amazing!!! I had the F Biscuit and it was fabulous. I went with chicken. Loved the bourbon peach compote and bacon jam. I with they sold it in jars so I could carry some home to Texas. Servers were friendly. Atmosphere was humble. Funny and inspiring wall signs inside. Established in what used to be a corner store. GPS brought us directly to the location, but we weren't sure we had the right place.

The food is great and worth the wait! They told us it would be a 45 minute wait but it was more like 30 and the service was awesome like the food. The homemade jams were delicious.

The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. Perfect place for breakfast or brunch.

This place was phenomenal so we came two days in a row. I can't say enough about this place. The people there are amazing. Today we got the banana nut pancakes, the Scott(named after our server), and the peach chicken and waffles. The hot chocolate was also very good.

Mixed review. The strawberry bacon waffles were excellent. Perfectly cooked. Awesome taste. Delivered hot. The traditional breakfast (biscuit, eggs, grits, sausage & bacon) was totally disappointing. Only item tasty on that order was the bacon. Service mixed. Staff friendly and helpful with menu, but failed to bring any silverware or coffee creamer.

The food here was amazing. The service was good, but a little slow, it seems they were understaffed on wait service. Overall the was great.

Great spot! Home cooked breakfast, original entrees, super friendly staff. Easy 5 star...

Look- this is s straight up, a good ass southern hometown local spot. I currently have the 'itis' (IYKYK). I was torn as to what to order because there was so much that sounded so good. I went with stuffed French toast and a side of hash, and my husband got the John and waffle. Service was good, food was great. Next time we are in town we will be back To Try another plate. I pray blessings over this establishment. It's very small. But the food is very good.

OMG!!! The catfish breakfast was delicious. Can I say this is the BEST cup of coffee I have had since I arrived in Lake Charles. Don't let the exterior deter you. It is fabulous. Yes, it is connected to a local minimart, but don't avoid this place on looks. Marilyn (sorry if spelled wrong) is sweet and attentive. Whoever is cooking - thank you for making this GA girl feel at home. Was missing my mom, and my hubby. Hubby is the man who makes the best breakfast, but not now. The meal did it. Gotta stop in and get a few cookies to go. Delicious.

Grits were awesome, service was on point . Hole in the wall but great food. First time to biscuits & Jams will be coming back when we return.

Do not let the facade or location deter you! The food is so good and filling and reasonable. The owner and staff make you feel right at home! We were visiting from the Houston area and my brother and his fiancée went for brunch yesterday, and we went back today! I had the 4 egg omelet served with grits and a biscuit. The omelet was huge and stuffed with ham, bacon and sausage, and it comes with onions, peppers and potatoes (I omitted the veggies.) There are other omelets such as veggie or seafood. My brother had the pork chop breakfast which could have fed a family of four We had dined at Gordon Ramsey's Steak at the Horseshoe Casino the night before where my brother had the pork chop. We all agreed that the pork chop today beat the pork chop at Steak by a mile! The grits are so creamy and yummy. They have a varied menu, something for everyone. Check it out y'all, you won't be sorry! We will certainly make this our go-to when visiting from now on!

Great authentic home cooking! A hole in the wall place, one might even turn away once you reach the place but inside was surprisingly clean, nothing fancy but a simple shabby chic place. Excellent southern home cooked dishes. Seasoned just right. I ordered the pork chop & a side order of pancake. My husband had the biscuits & gravy. They were delicious. Unfortunately, they ran out of the oxtails, am sure it is delicious. I highly recommend this place! Like the saying goes, don't judge the book by its cover. Service was excellent.

Amazing food and home town feel! Best Grits ever!!! The staff were so sweet and quick. We will definitely be back anytime we come to Lake Charles!

This place is very good. I got the catfish breakfast which came with two catfish fillets, grits, home fries, 2 eggs, and a biscuit. Everything was really good and was seasoned perfectly. The grits were creamy and had a good amount of butter. My eggs were a perfect medium. And the catfish was fried good and hot. They had homemade jam too. Service was good, the seating is first come first serve I was able to find a seat very fast but after I sat it was a lot of people waiting. Even tho they were super busy on a Sunday morning my food came out pretty fast. The restaurant is small and doesn't have a designated waiting area but I will definitely be going here again when i visit Lake Charles.

What a gem of a find! Thanks fellow Yelpers for recommending this place. The service was great and super friendly. A small hole in the wall restaurant. The food was to die for! Will definitely be back and will tell our friends and bring them back with us!
